Nif

Luo Ao Empire, in that quiet mansion.★★

The scorching summer sun bathed the entire mansion. In a courtyard of Tanner's residence, a silver-haired man with a muscular physique, dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt, strode in. "Tanner, come out!"

The door opened, Tanner came out. "Nif, is there something you need?"

"You still have the mood to rest?" Nif, somewhat angrily.

"Tell me, what else can I do?" Tanner was also very troubled. It was he who suggested that Sadista kill the two Midgod to vent his anger, since Sadista always had a sullen face, which made Tanner and the others feel uncomfortable and depressed.

But to everyone's surprise, his uncle "Sadista" never returned.

"You also felt that astonishing energy fluctuation in the west three days ago," Nif said solemnly.

Tanner nodded and said, "Yes, I sensed it; it was definitely Uncle's presence. But Nif, what does that prove?"

"What does that mean?" Nif scoffed. "Tanner, stop dreaming. The matter is already clear. Such a powerful energy fluctuation—I believe Lord Sadista wouldn't have vented his anger so casually; he must have waged a major battle."

Nif continued, "You told me that day too that Lord Sadista went west to kill those two Midgod. Are those two Midgod dead?"

Tanner paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I... I don't know."

"You don't know? It's simple. Just release your divine sense and cover that mountain range. I believe you can easily determine whether those two Midgod are dead." Nif said coldly, "Tanner, stop pretending to be stupid."

Tanner's expression changed.

"I've checked with my divine sense." Nif took a deep breath. "Those two Midgod aren't dead. Tanner, Lord Sadista went to kill those two Midgod, causing such a commotion, yet the two Midgod survived, and Lord Sadista hasn't returned after three days. Isn't this result obvious enough?"

"Perhaps, my uncle has gone somewhere because of something important," Tanner said bitterly.

Tanner refused to believe his uncle was dead.

Their family is vast, spanning millions of years, and naturally has branched into many lineages. In Tanner's lineage, Sadista is the pillar. If Sadista were to truly die, Tanner could fully foresee the difficult situation he would face within the family in the future.

Nif understood Tanner's thoughts.

"Tanner, no matter what, we must face reality," Nif said solemnly. "This is Yulan, not Infernal Realm. In Yulan, even if Lord Sadista is busy with something, he will still tell us through telepathy. Telepathy, after all, is only a momentary thing."

"But no. We didn't receive a message from Lord Sadista."

Nif's expression was solemn. "I hate to admit it, but I have to say it: the family's plan has failed. At least for our group, there is no hope left in the Necropolis of the Gods. Without the power of Highgod, it's impossible to obtain the treasures the family needs."

Tanner nodded.

How could he not understand this?

"Uncle, perhaps he really is dead." Tanner nodded bitterly. Then he stared at Nif, "But Nif, so what if Uncle is dead? Do you intend to..."

"That's right!"

Nif's aura sharpened. "Tanner, the family's current status is the result of countless ancestors risking their lives over billions of years. You and I are not particularly talented, yet as members of the family, why were we able to receive Godhead training and easily reach the level of Midgod? That was bestowed upon us by the family!"

Tanner remained silent.

"The Four Divine Beasts Clan is our greatest enemy! They are too powerful. As for Lin Feng, you know him too. He has been cultivating for less than a hundred years, yet he has already reached the level of Midgod!"

Nif sneered, "Among the Four Divine Beasts Clan, I've never heard of a genius who reached such a level without undergoing Ancestral Hall rites. And Tanner, Lin Feng cultivates earth, not water! Do you understand what that means?"

Tanner nodded.

"Once he undergoes the baptism at the Four Divine Beasts Ancestral Hall, I believe that within ten thousand years, the Four Divine Beasts Clan will definitely produce an unparalleled powerhouse at the Highgod. I dare not even imagine how many of our family members will die at his hands then," Nif said sharply. "And right now, he's merely a Midgod, and hasn't even undergone the baptism at the Four Divine Beasts Ancestral Hall!"

"If we don't kill him now, when will we?"

Nif's gaze was icy. "I know Lin Feng has some connections in the Yulan Plane, but so what? I'd rather die myself than let him perish."

"Nif!" Tanner took a deep breath and shook his head. "I advise you not to kill Lin Feng now."

"What did you say!" Nif's anger surged.

Tanner sighed, "Calm down. Lin Feng has already returned to Dragonblood Castle. You know how strong Dragonblood Castle's defenses are; there are several Midgod alone. Even if you go, you definitely won't be able to kill Lin Feng. You'll just die for nothing."

"Besides, we really don't need to kill him in the Yulan Plane. We can kill him when he gets to the Infernal Realm!"

"What a joke!" Nif said. "First of all, when is Lin Feng going to the Infernal Realm? If he grows to the level of Highgod in the Yulan Plane and obtains another Sovereign Artifact in the Necropolis of the Gods, and then goes to the Infernal Realm, is it even possible for us to kill him?"

Tanner choked.

"Furthermore, it's impossible to determine which teleportation point Lin Feng will be sent to when he arrives in the Infernal Realm. Our family only has some influence in our area. Do you really think we can hunt him down all over Infernal Realm? Do you even know how big Infernal Realm is?" Nif stared at Tanner.

Tanner had nothing to say.

Sadista's primary objective was the treasures of the Necropolis of the Gods, which is why he temporarily abandoned the pursuit of Lin Feng. In reality, chasing Lin Feng in the Infernal Realm was impractical. As the Supreme Plane, Infernal Realm's scope far exceeds that of the Yulan Plane by countless times.

In the Infernal Realm, there are quite a few forces more powerful than their family!

"Tanner, have you forgotten the countless battles against the Four Divine Beasts Clan? The countless deaths of our ancestors?" Nif stared at Tanner. "Alright, I'll be heading to Dragonblood Castle soon. I know that even if I kill Lin Feng this time, it will be difficult to escape unscathed."

"But if I can kill Lin Feng, I can die in peace. Tanner, you're in charge of everything here. I'm leaving." Nif turned and walked away.

Since they couldn't obtain the treasures of the Necropolis of the Gods, killing Lin Feng meant their trip wasn't in vain.

"Nif" Tanner didn't want to watch Nif die; even if he managed to kill Lin Feng by chance, Nif would still be killed by those Midgod of Dragonblood Castle.

"For Reinards!" Nif's voice rang out, and Nif's figure had already reached mid-air, turning into a black dot on the western horizon.

Tanner paused for a moment, then his gaze hardened, and he said softly, "For Reinards!"

"Someone come here!" Tanner shouted. Soon, a Lowgod- level expert arrived, and Tanner immediately gave him a thorough instruction, "Remember, you must tell Lord Hodan this news. Go now."

"Yes, sir."

The Lowgod immediately flew away from the mansion, heading directly towards the Arctic Icefield.
