With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 73: Meng Chuan’s Reflection, Yongzhi in Danger

ng Chuan watched the back of Master Luo as he left, still worried about the situation outside the city.

After thinking for a mont, he quickly took out his phone to call his uncle.

After two beeps, his uncle’s hearty voice ca through on the other end:

"Hello, Chuan, what’s up?"

Recently, ng Chuan often didn’t return ho while training at Luo Guanyun’s house, so ng Yongzhi was already used to it and didn’t ask.

The sound from the uncle’s side was a bit noisy, with ti pressing, ng Chuan skipped the pleasantries and spoke quickly:

"Uncle, are you at ho? My master says the situation at the Demon Nest outside the city isn’t good, and it might affect the city. Tonight, make sure to lock doors and windows, stay ho, and don’t go anywhere."

There was a mont of silence from the other end, then ng Yongzhi said slightly hesitantly:

"Chuan, I’m on a mission outside and probably won’t be able to return."

"The city surveillance just caught the location of the Human Demon. Tonight we’ll close the net and eliminate this scourge."

"When the sky falls, tall people hold it up. I can’t do anything about the situation outside. I’ll tell your aunt to stay ho and be safe."

The police station tasks cannot be refused, ng Chuan furrowed his brow, worried about his uncle’s safety.

"Alright, the Human Demon is dangerous; Uncle, be very careful."

His uncle laughed softly on the other end, confidence in his tone:

"Don’t worry, Chuan. My abilities are limited; the capture is handled by teams led by interdiate-level martial artists. I’m just helping set up defenses on the periter with colleagues, it’s nothing."

"Once we take down the Human Demon, I’ll tell you all about it. Stay at Master Luo’s ho and be careful yourself."

Seeing that his uncle was assured, ng Chuan felt much more at ease.

Then he took a deep breath and said:

"Take care, I’ll be waiting for your good news."

After hanging up the phone, ng Chuan felt increasingly restless, unable to calm his heart.

The Demon Nest outside showed signs of movent, and the Human Demon appeared within the city, as if Yong’an City was shrouded in gloom tonight.

"Thinking too much is useless. Ultimately, it’s because my abilities aren’t strong enough; worrying and anxiety serve no purpose."

"Only by enhancing my skills and becoming a martial arts family can I protect this city and share the burdens with my uncle."

ng Chuan took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, dispelled all stray thoughts, and focused on his standing posture.

Every drop of sweat now is an accumulation. With the Martial Arts Limit Breaking panel, I shall surely guard this city with my skills in the future.

...

"The situation isn’t good."

On the other side of the phone, ng Yongzhi was still dwelling in the complex emotions from his conversation with ng Chuan.

"What’s wrong, just taking a call put you in a bad mood?"

A colleague nearby handed over a cigarette to him. He instinctively took it and then pulled out a lighter from his pocket.

But despite striking it several tis, the fla kept dying out at crucial monts.

A surge of inexplicable irritation rose in ng Yongzhi’s heart. He turned the cigarette butt over to see what’s wrong.

Everything seed normal; the cigarette butt didn’t appear damp.

He tried to pinch the cig tight.

Just then, a strange scene unfolded!

His fingers passed through the cigarette without resistance, as if it were a re mist with no substance.

ng Yongzhi’s eyes widened, his facial expression froze instantly.

Subconsciously he flicked his hand, attempting to shake off the cigarette, yet it clung softly to his fingertips, as if glued.

"What...what’s going on, could it be a hallucination from working overti?"

ng Yongzhi murmured, sweat beading densely on his forehead, an ominous feeling surged.

Suddenly, a colleague shouted nearby:

"Look up quickly, what is that!"

ng Yongzhi snapped back to attention, looking upwards in the direction his colleague pointed.

Like an endless black curtain, ng Yongzhi watched as a blackness surged like tide, swallowing up his entire vision in a blink.

Then, the darkness crashes to the ground.

He tried to move his leg to dodge, but felt as if an invisible shackle bound him, unable to move.

In the last mont before losing consciousness, a sharp and indescribable howl erupted!

This sound was filled with endless malice and madness.

"Except for this person, everyone else can be eaten, right?"

Soon, the darkness completely engulfed him...

...

—Phew.

ng Chuan took a deep breath and ended his exercise, stretching his limbs that were slightly stiff from standing.

Picked up his phone to check the ti, it was almost twelve o’clock.

He didn’t have the qualifications to ddle in Master Luo’s matters.

Thinking about it, he decided to call his uncle to ask about the situation.

The sound kept prompting, but the call never went through.

Though a little worried, ng Chuan figured his uncle was out on a task and probably busy, so he didn’t think much of it.

Just as he folded the phone shut, it rang urgently again.

Looking down, it was Master Luo calling.

[Chuan, nothing happened outside the city, I’ll keep watch one more night and return tomorrow, rest assured and sleep well.]

[Okay, Master Luo, be safe.]

Upon hanging up, ng Chuan exhaled a long breath, finally so good news.

After a simple wash, ng Chuan planned to call his uncle one more ti before sleep.

Still no answer, ng Chuan felt a bit uneasy, not connecting left him uneasy.

Just about to dial again, mories of last ti mistakenly thinking his uncle had passed away flashed through his mind.

Back then he couldn’t contact his uncle either, and upon returning ho found it was just a false alarm.

He couldn’t help but laugh at himself, silently scolding himself for being paranoid again.

He put down the phone, took a deep breath trying to calm his anxious mind, turned off the bedside lamp and closed his eyes to sleep.

After turning off the lights, the room fell into darkness, quiet enough to hear his own heartbeat.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up beside his pillow, it was a call from his uncle, the glaring light seeming abrupt in the dark.

Upon answering, ng Chuan spoke:

[Uncle?]

However, it wasn’t the familiar voice on the other side, but a slightly amused voice speaking slowly:

[Your uncle wants to et you now; don’t worry, he’s safe.]

ng Chuan’s heart exploded with alarm, his uncle really is in trouble!

[Who are you?]

The other side gave no answer.

[I’m at Tianjia Bay, No. 1, Row 7 waiting for you. I don’t like to wait; you have half an hour.]

Just about to speak, the call abruptly hung up, and upon redialing it was powered off.

ng Chuan burned with anxiety, his mind racing.

"Call Master Luo first."

ng Chuan, while dressing, dialed Master Luo’s number.

[Master Luo, my uncle was kidnapped while on a mission, soone just called asking to go over, it seems they are targeting .]

Master Luo’s voice was calm and steady.

[Stay at ho, give the address.]

[Probably can’t wait, I have to hurry. They only gave half an hour.]
