Chapter 458: Chapter 457: Such a Coincidence?

Luo Ning first invited Lei Lifei to the Siheyuan, where they sat in the courtyard and chatted leisurely.

Her mother and godmother were out traveling, and her younger brother was in class, so there were no other people at home at the moment.

As soon as Lei Lifei entered the Siheyuan, he noticed the presence of an Array and just sitting there, he could feel a kind of tranquility and pleasure.

"Little Ningning, this place really is wonderful." No wonder his son didn’t want to go back.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was acting as the Family Head of the Lei Family and constantly had to handle family affairs, he would think about moving here for his retirement.

The Lei Family had also set up a similar Array, but it paled in comparison to what Luo Ning had here, which surprised him.

Luo Ning smiled, "Uncle Lei, if you like it, you can come and stay often in the future."

Lei Lifei took a sip of Luo Ning’s homemade honey iced red tea, feeling completely refreshed and cool.

"That is possible," he said with a laugh.

After sitting for a while, Luo Ning took Lei Lifei up the mountain for a stroll.

After walking around, Lei Lifei walked to a stone near the stream and sat down to rest.

Luo Ning sat on a stone opposite him and asked, "Uncle Lei, what was your relationship like with my father’s elder brother?"

Lei Lifei was a bit surprised that Luo Ning would ask this.

Still, he spoke truthfully, "The relationship was okay, but because we were several years apart in age, we didn’t usually play together."

Luo Ning, somewhat curious, asked, "Did my dad look a lot like him?"

Lei Lifei smiled and said, "About eighty to ninety percent similar. Those who didn’t know would think they were twins."

"Only my father was more unrestrained in temperament, and your great-uncle was very reserved and steady. Anyone with a clear eye could tell them apart."

Luo Ning asked another question, "Uncle Lei, my great-uncle died unexpectedly many years ago, did you see his body?"

Lei Lifei paused, "I never saw it, after his death, his body was not found, and what is currently is the Tomb of Honored."

Luo Ning frowned slightly, "They didn’t find his body? How could they be sure he was dead then?"

"Back then, several powerful Evil Cultivators appeared in the sea area, who specifically captured people from Gufengshui Family to torment and kill them for refining resentment and evil spirits, so many families each sent people to join in capturing them."

Lei Lifei paused then said, "I was also involved in that, and then we chased them to a deep sea Dead Zone and finally caught up with them, leading to a fierce battle."

"Your great-uncle was the strongest among us at the time, battling two Evil Cultivators by the edge of the Dead Zone, and he had nearly subdued them."

"But who could have known, one of the Evil Cultivators was particularly sinister, hiding a giant Gu Worm nearby in the Dead Zone, and ambushed your great-uncle."

"According to your great-uncle’s strength, he naturally was not afraid, but the bad thing was that the Dead Zone suddenly started a tidal wave, he was entangled by the giant worm and couldn’t avoid the tidal wave, and was directly swept into the Dead Zone."

"That deep sea Dead Zone is a well-known Forbidden Land, where those who enter it, without exception, never come out alive."

"We also tried to search and rescue, but did not find his body."

"Subsequently, Luo Family sent people to search and rescue for three months, still without any clues; then the clan elders of the Luo Family conducted Divination."

"Several clan elders both individually and jointly divined several times, only coming to one conclusion, Death Divination."

"His Eternal Life Tablet placed in the Luo Family also shattered completely on the fourth month after he disappeared, and Luo Family then fully confirmed his fall and performed the rites for the deceased."

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "Divination and the Eternal Life Tablet are not completely absolute, could he still be alive?"

Lei Lifei shook his head, "That’s impossible, although the predictions of Divination and the Eternal Life Tablet are not 100% accurate, they are still over ninety percent."

"Luo Family also didn’t completely give up then, continuing to search in the nearby sea area for more than three years before giving up."

"Moreover, if your great-uncle were still alive, he would have definitely returned to Luo Family. Over these more than twenty years, there has never been any news."

Lei Lifei looked a little puzzled, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Luo Ning replied, "A few days ago, I inadvertently saw someone who looked a bit like my dad, so I wanted to ask."

Lei Lifei chuckled, "In this world, there are people who look very similar despite having no blood relationship; you need not worry too much about it."

He added, "If your great-uncle were still alive, Luo Family’s situation wouldn’t be like it is now, nor would your dad have been pressured."

Luo Ning smiled, "Indeed."

After eating dinner, Lei Lifei went to stay in another courtyard nearby with Lei Qiu.

Two days later.

The Gufengshui Family, Fengshui Xuanhui, and special department personnel jointly took action, carrying out a crackdown on the International Black Alliance’s stronghold in the Imperial Capital.

Other major cities also sent people, all acting at the same time.

However, the top leaders of each group stayed in the Imperial Capital for the operation.

Luo Ning and Luo Ranran also participated this time.

After sequentially clearing six small to medium strongholds, Lu Xun led everyone to the largest one, which was also the last identified stronghold in the Imperial Capital.

This stronghold was located in a high-end club, and due to the extensive use of Feng Shui Mystical Techniques, it was very popular.

The operation of the International Black Alliance required substantial funds, and besides taking various kinds of business, they also had money-making businesses in various countries.

Hence, at night, this place was also the largest gold nest in the Imperial Capital.

The settings were set at night, after Lu Xun and his special department personnel finished clearing, personnel from relevant departments would also come to conduct a thorough inspection.

Lu Xun had already discovered the location of the International Black Alliance’s office, in the underground interlayer of the club.

This was deliberately constructed between the first floor and the basement.

With everyone being powerful Feng Shui Masters, getting by cameras and smoothly reaching the door of the interlayer was very easy.

A few people guarded the main entrance, and they were soon stunned by the Fengshui Family members.

Once the main door was opened, a group of people rushed in.

Inside, many were either hugging women drinking and playing, or indulging in extravagant gambling.

These people were either members there to consume or were personnel from the International Black Alliance themselves.

Of them, one-third were Mystic Masters.

Meeting each other naturally led to a battle.

Luo Ning and Luo Ranran also participated in the battles, but had been slacking off continuously.

The people from Gufengshui Family weren’t very concerned about these, as their strength was far inferior to theirs.

Unexpectedly, just as it was about to end, lots of evil spirits and Gu Worms suddenly appeared all around, and a killing formation was completely formed.

A group similar to ancient Death Soldiers rushed in, entangling and dragging the people who were about to leave, with the killing formation starting its effect.

People from the Gufengshui Family started to get injured because of this.

Dealing with the Death Soldiers who were attacking, Luo Ning and another person finally stopped slacking off and quickly resolved several.

The scene turned chaotic.

At this moment, Lou Yiheng was entangled by several Death Soldiers, moving gradually towards where Luo Ranran was.

A hint of sarcasm appeared in Luo Ning’s eyes, "Is it really such a coincidence? Don’t kid me."
