Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Dugu Ni intentionally bought some gifts and then followed the remembered route towards his family’s old residence.

”Eighty years have passed; for cultivators like us, it’s a mere blink.”

”But for the mundane world, significant changes occur.”

”I recall Qinghe City being much livelier; now it seems desolate and quiet.”

Dugu Ni and Chen Zhixing stepped off the carriage, walking on streets paved with bluestone.

This ancient city, ranked second in Huai State, was now desolate, with few pedestrians on the streets.

”It’s normal; everything has its rise and fall, even towns.”

Chen Zhixing chuckled.

The two chatted as they turned into an alley, walking forward.

Suddenly.

Dugu Ni suddenly halted, looking intently at a wild-grown land ahead.

The ground held fallen houses, broken walls, and towering wild grass growing fiercely.

Through the dust-covered, web-infested ruins, one could faintly see past prosperity.

Chen Zhixing squinted his eyes, silently pondering, already guessing some.

The next moment.

Boom!

Dugu Ni stomped forward, appearing in front of a nearby teahouse.

”Old man wants to know, where are the people of this family?”

Dugu Ni stared fiercely at the teahouse’s waiter, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

”S... Sir, this family died out decades ago!”

The waiter was startled by Dugu Ni’s abrupt appearance and replied quickly.

”Died... died out?”

Dugu Ni seemed struck by lightning, body stiffening.

”Yes... it was many years ago.”

The waiter shrank his head, lowered his voice, and said:

”I heard from elders in my family that this family offended a powerful figure they shouldn’t have, from Sidu City, the Sikong family. As a result, the entire family was slaughtered overnight, even the babies weren’t spared! It was tragic!”

After a pause.

The waiter cautiously glanced around and said quietly:

”Sir, please don’t spread this, and if you do, don’t say I told you.”

Finished speaking.

The waiter quickly bowed away.

”Sikong...!!”

Dugu Ni stood there, eyes flashing fiercely.

Demonic Qi slowly rose like a tidal wave.

Clap.

A hand landed on Dugu Ni’s shoulder.

The previously soaring Demonic Qi instantly vanished.

Dugu Ni turned to Chen Zhixing, his eyes now utterly red.

”Don’t be anxious.”

”Since you’ve joined me, we will eventually avenge this extinction, but not now.”

Chen Zhixing shook his head slightly.

Dugu Ni remained silent.

It took a long time before Dugu Ni inhaled deeply, forcing a smile.

”Alright.”

Dugu Ni nodded.

Chen Zhixing smiled faintly, about to speak.

Suddenly, from above the city, a sound explosion reverberated.

”Shanyang! Where do you think you can escape today?”

”Tell us! What is your relationship with that Bai Shi from back then?”

”Hmph, do you think you can evade us by fleeing from Youzhou to Huai State and joining the Five Elements Thunder Sect, and we from Haori Sword Sect are powerless?”

”Shanyang, you can’t escape your fate today! Even the Five Elements Thunder Sect can’t protect you!”

Chen Zhixing looked up.

He saw a single streak of lightning quickly dart across the sky, while several sharp sword lights pursued relentlessly.

”Shanyang?”

Chen Zhixing slightly furrowed his brow, feeling an odd sense of familiarity.

In the next moment.

Chen Zhixing seemed to realize something and revealed a look of understanding.

”Is it him? I didn’t expect to meet him again.”

Chen Zhixing’s mind stirred, and a white mask with a crimson cross appeared in his hand.
