Chapter 965 Come to the door
He quickly put those distracting thoughts aside.

Focus on the stone slab in front of you.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

He swung his sword repeatedly, striking almost the same spot.

He had mastered the Leng Family Nine Swords technique quite well, possessing a very strong foundation, and it was not difficult for him to accurately strike the same spot.

I've forgotten how many times I've swung my sword, and I'm just feeling the subtle changes in the stone slab.

"stop!"

Suddenly a shout rang out, and Leng Yuqing arrived gracefully with a middle-aged man.

She yelled and snatched Leng Tieya's longsword: "What nonsense!"

Leng Tieya hurriedly said, "Big sister, I'm doing something serious, don't cause trouble!"

"I think you've gone mad! This is a priceless treasure of the Leng family, how dare you treat it like this!"

"It's just a small corner, it won't matter." Leng Tieya reluctantly put down the stone slab.

He immediately stood up, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "Third Uncle."

The middle-aged man before me was cold and imposing, his eyes piercing and bright, as if they could see right through me, exuding authority without anger.

He certainly recognized the middle-aged man as Leng Changhe, his father's third uncle.

The previous head of the family.

Now retired to the position of elder, he manages a portion of the Leng family's hidden power.

Leng Changhe waved his hand, sat down at the stone table, and looked him up and down: "I heard from Yuqing that you want to find the other half of the stone slab?"

"Uncle, where did this stone slab come from?"

"To fall from the sky into the Demon Realm and be picked up by the Ancestor is incredibly lucky."

"So the martial arts techniques of the other major families all fell from the sky?"

"Most other families inherited their status through inheritance."

"Where does this tradition originate?"

"I should say it comes from the Abyss of Demons."

“The Abyss of Demons…” Leng Tieya could not understand this answer.

"After the Great Demon was reincarnated, he awakened his memories of his previous life, thus obtaining the original inheritance and forming a family."

"After the Great Demon is reincarnated, he must cultivate some techniques in order to step into the Great Demon realm again and thus recover his memories of his previous life, right?"

"It is said that in the beginning, the Great Heavenly Demon Palace recruited people with extraordinary talent and endowment to enter the palace to learn the Great Heavenly Demon Palace's cultivation method, thereby becoming Great Heavenly Demons and restoring their previous life's inheritance."

"The Great Demon Palace...where does the Great Demon Palace's legacy come from?"

"Originated from beyond the heavens."

Leng Tieya's spirits lifted: "They all come from beyond the heavens. Are our Nine Heavenly Demon Techniques no less powerful than those of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace?"

Leng Changhe smiled.

He was serious and dignified, and even with this smile, his authority remained undiminished: "Those words may be arrogant, but they may not be untrue."

Leng Tieya said, "Uncle, if we find the other half of the stone slab, we may be able to become the number one family."

Leng Changhe said, "The previous generations of family heads and disciples have tried their best but to no avail. Several ancestors were convinced that it was not in this world. From then on, the disciples of the Leng family no longer waste their efforts."

“Not in this realm…” Leng Tieya frowned: “How can you be so sure he’s not in this realm?”

"Several ancestors were great demons who specially cultivated secret methods of deduction and tracking, but to no avail, and were certain that their other half was not in this realm."

“…” Leng Tieya frowned and pondered.

Leng Yuqing said, "Tieya, have you given up now?"

Leng Tieya looked at Leng Changhe: "What do you think, Uncle?"

Leng Tieya shook his head: "It's almost impossible to find, unless you're incredibly lucky."

“Incredible luck…” Leng Tieya laughed, “My luck is already amazing right now… I want to give it a try.”

Leng Yuqing hurriedly said, "Don't do anything rash. If this stone slab is destroyed, then all hope will be lost."

Leng Tieya asked, "Uncle, may I carry it with me?"

"Now that you've caught up in your progress, you should hone your skills a bit more, aim to reach the first rank as soon as possible, and then enter the Great Heavenly Demon Palace. That's the right path. There's no need to waste your energy."

The third brother has potential; although not as good as the eldest, he still has a chance to enter the Great Demon Palace. Leng Tieya said, "Uncle, I want to try; my second brother can also enter the Great Demon Palace."

“…Alright.” Leng Changhe thought for a moment: “One month. If there is no result after one month, then return the stone slab.”

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"If you can find the other half of the stone slab, you will be the next head of the family."

“Yes.” Leng Tieya replied solemnly.

If he becomes the head of the Leng family, he will have a higher status, more power and secrets, and thus a complete understanding of the Demon Realm.

Leng Yuqing shook her head repeatedly.

He was quite skeptical, but refrained from speaking out of consideration for Leng Changhe's presence.

After seeing Leng Changhe off from the courtyard, Leng Yuqing turned back and grabbed Leng Tieya's ear.

Leng Tieya quickly dodged: "Big sister, I'm not a child anymore!"

Leng Yuqing stopped in her tracks, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him fiercely, scolding, "Aren't you a child? What you're doing now isn't childish nonsense!?"

Leng Tieya said, "While I'm having a lucky streak right now, why not take a gamble?"

"What a load of rubbish!" Leng Yuqing scolded, "Those ancestors had higher aptitude and better luck than you, and what happened? ... You bastard, instead of taking the opportunity to break through to the first rank, you wasted time looking for the stone slab. It's utterly inexplicable!"

The younger the age at which one enters the first-grade realm, the better, and the shorter the time it takes, the better.

His most important task now is to break through to the first rank, so that he can be noticed by the Great Heavenly Demon Palace and enter the Great Heavenly Demon Palace to cultivate higher-level mental techniques.

Instead of looking for the other half of the stone slab.

Even if you want to find the other half of the stone slab, it's not advisable to do so now. Why not look for it after entering the Great Demon Palace?

He must understand this principle, yet he still acts recklessly. How can this not make people angry?
Leng Tieya said, "Eldest sister, the Meng family will come looking for us sooner or later. I need to go out and avoid them. I might as well look for the other half of the stone slab while I'm at it."

"Why don't you look for it while you're at it?"

"Well, by the way, I won't neglect my cultivation."

"Have you thought this through? Don't let a small gain lead to a big loss and ruin your life!"

"Understood, understood. Don't worry, elder sister. I'll be a first-class lady when I come back next time."

The Demon Realm is vast, and he can go anywhere he wants, even to the Demon Realm and the Human Realm.

The Meng family is a large clan, but its numbers are ultimately limited. As long as he doesn't stay in Zhongyun City, he won't be found and can live freely.

"Are you going?"

"Let's leave as soon as possible, lest we get blocked by the Meng family."

“But your marriage to the Lu family…” Leng Yuqing frowned.

Leng Tieya's face immediately darkened.

Leng Yuqing sighed, "This was personally decided by the patriarch, and there is no going back. Otherwise, a rift will appear between our Leng family and the Lu family, and there may even be some unpleasantness."

"Eldest sister!" Leng Tieya sneered, "Whoever wants to marry Miss Lu can marry her, I'm not marrying her!"

“Her reputation is bad, but that may not be the truth,” Leng Yuqing said. “I investigated carefully and found that someone was spreading rumors to deliberately ruin Miss Lu’s reputation.”

Leng Tieya said, "Who has the audacity to tarnish Miss Lu's reputation?"

The Lu family is one of the nine major families in Zhongyun City. Who would dare to be so bold?
"We're still investigating."

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, I will absolutely not marry Miss Lu." Leng Tieya shook his head: "Eldest sister, please stop talking."

Leng Yuqing shook her head: "If you dare to break this marriage agreement, you will be expelled from the family."

Leng Tieya snorted, "Big sister, I'll rest for two days and then leave."

Just then, a beautiful maidservant gracefully entered and whispered a few words in Leng Yuqing's ear.

Leng Yuqing frowned: "Someone sent by Miss Lu Si?"

"Yes." The beautiful maid nodded, her expression calm and gentle.

"Miss Lu sent someone over?" Leng Tieya chuckled. "How inexplicable."

"Let's meet them first," Leng Yuqing waved her hand.

The beautiful maidservant gracefully bowed and withdrew.

Leng Yuqing got up and walked outside. She stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, stepping out with one lotus foot while the other remained inside.

She turned her head and looked at me: "What are you daydreaming about? Aren't you going to go take a look?"
