Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2256: Chapter 747: Inheritance, Calamity Without Cause! (Part 2)

"This..."

Aunt Wang looked at the elder beside her.

"No problem."

The elder took a deep breath, then nodded, and went out to call for someone to handle Granny Li’s funeral.

However, due to many people’s fear of Little Que’er, only a few came, and the funeral was very simple and brief.

Those who saw the lonely girl who looked so forlorn had eyes filled with awe, fear, and also pity.

Although someone had previously expressed willingness to adopt Little Que’er, most of the village disagreed, so there was nothing to be done.

In the end, after the old woman was buried, the girl deeply kowtowed to Granny’s grave, then carried her bag and left the village.

After walking a few steps, she turned around and looked at the remaining villagers, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you all for your care."

"Alas."

The people sighed.

After all, aside from not growing up and her terrifying performance when facing demon beasts, at other times, the little girl was a child who was quite endearing.

The girl left the village, her eyes filled with confusion, then lowered her head and reached out to grasp the wooden plaque hanging from her neck.

Granny said that it was left to her by her parents, and it was also the origin of her name.

Now, awake from the terrible news of Granny’s death, she remembered when she was being bitten by a big tiger, it was this plaque that destroyed the tiger.

At that moment, the plaque suddenly trembled lightly, emitting a red light that merged into her brow.

"Que’er, seeing this message means you’ve grown up and realized you’re different."

"And if by this time your mother hasn’t returned to take you, it means I’m still in danger. The road ahead is one you must continue to walk, whether in hate or love, your mother hopes you stay strong, like your name, transforming from Que to Divine Phoenix, soaring nine heavens!"

In the sea of consciousness within her brow, a tall, radiant figure, whose face was unclear, resembling a noble phoenix, spoke to her.

With the fall of the voice, the figure of the woman dissipated.

In her mind, it was as if there were many vague pieces of information, cultivation techniques.

"Mother...danger..."

Little Que’er was shocked all over upon seeing this message.

Though adopted by Granny and pretending not to care, seeing other kids her age having parents, she was still envious.

Now seeing this message and knowing she had parents who did not abandon her intentionally but encountered danger...

"So, my parents are immortals, I’m not a demon..."

Little Que’er pressed her lips, feeling inexplicably relieved in her heart.

She was different from others, not because of her own problems but because her parents were immortals!

"But, where are my parents..."

She pressed her lips, looked around in confusion, and finally decided to first go to the county to inquire about her brother’s situation and news.

Her brother was taken away by immortals for cultivation at an early age and never returned. Now that Granny was dead, she wanted to find her brother and tell him about this.

Just as Little Que’er left, and the small mountain village gradually returned to calm.

That day, the small hill at the back suddenly rumbled.

Seeing the old woman wrapped in a straw mat, dead and her skin shriveled and full of corpses, suddenly split open.

A vague, graceful figure flew out from within, looked at the situation before her, pondered for a long time, and said, "How long have I been asleep..."

The voice was very pleasant.

From the voice alone, one could tell it was a beautiful woman in her prime.

...

Starry Sky Sea.

Unknowingly, Lu Changsheng and Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang, along with others, had been searching for the Kunpeng Egg on Black Reef Island for more than half a year.

With numerous Core Formation cultivators, or Nascent Soul True Lords and Transformed Demon Kings searching, the area near Black Reef Island had been almost turned inside out.

Seeing no relevant traces of the Kunpeng Egg, the Nascent Soul True Lords from various forces were surprised and puzzled.

After all, according to various calculations, searches, and exclusions, the Kunpeng Egg was most likely to have been teleported to this area, how could it be missing?

Immediately, some Nascent Soul True Lords joined forces with Divination Grandmasters for a divination.

"Hmm? What’s happening, this heavenly secret, is not the previous one from the Kunpeng Egg!"

"Where does this heavenly secret resistance come from!"

"Is it external force or naturally formed heavenly secret resistance!"

These Nascent Soul True Lords and diviners obtained several token items in the Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm, knowing that the heavenly secret for the Kunpeng Egg was chaotic and obscure, with tremendous resistance, hard to deduce.

But just now, during the divination, they found that the heavenly secret resistance for the Kunpeng Egg was somewhat different from before.

Although this resistance was like smoke, like fog, elusive and hard to calculate, a piece of information was gleaned from the side.

The situation with the Kunpeng Egg had changed!

First, the Kunpeng Egg might have other means to isolate the heavenly secret and hide, making it untraceable.

Second, someone had silently obtained the Kunpeng Egg.

But either way, it seemed quite unreasonable.

If the Kunpeng Egg had such means, it could not have waited until now and should have been used the moment the teleportation array was activated, avoiding being caught by their Qi mechanism detection.

As for someone silently obtaining the Kunpeng Egg...

But apart from the Nascent Soul True Lords, who could achieve this?

These Nascent Soul cultivators had been supervising each other all along.

And for Core Formation cultivators, encountering this Kunpeng Egg, even retaining it alone would be a problem, let alone silently taking it away and obscuring the heavenly secrets!

They could accept some force obtaining the Kunpeng Egg.

After all, so many people vying for one Kunpeng Egg, ultimately only one winner could emerge.

However, for so many people, so many forces, having spent so much effort for the Kunpeng Egg, how could they easily give up?

Even if the Kunpeng Egg eventually surfaced and was obtained by some Nascent Soul cultivator or some top Nascent Soul force, the latter would still need to pay a sufficient price to take away the Kunpeng Egg, right?
