Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback - Chapter 259

Ning Family Residence.

In recent days, the entire Ning family estate was in a state of panic.

The whole manor was on high alert, with guards arranged in a tight formation, making it impenetrable.

The maids had been replaced with those who had cultivation skills, but now they were all nervously carrying trays, moving quickly back and forth, occasionally whispering to each other and glancing anxiously at the sky.

In the kitchen, several cooks were preparing dishes while discussing the recent events.

“How many guests have been assassinated at the manor gates now? My goodness, all of them were highly skilled cultivators. Who could be behind this?”

“I heard it’s the work of a sect.”

“Really? It could very well be a sect. These sects always try to recruit all cultivators, and if anyone disobeys, they resort to killing.”

“That’s terrifying! Sects are nothing but bandits!”

“Which sect is doing this? What do they want?”

“I heard it’s a Fifth-tier Sect, but no matter which sect it is, they’re all trouble.”

Just then, a few maids walked in, interrupting their conversation.

“Hurry up, the banquet is about to start. Are the dishes ready?”

The Ning family was thrown into chaos by this invisible enemy.

The head of the Ning family had invited several friends from the Martial world to come up with a solution together.

The main hall of the Ning family was supposed to be bustling, but the atmosphere was very gloomy.

It seemed like a dark cloud hung over everyone’s heads.

The head of the Ning family, sitting at the main seat, looked very haggard.

“Everyone, we don’t even know who our enemy is, but I can be sure of one thing: the enemy is definitely from a sect.”

“They are specifically targeting our Ning family this time.”

A tall, muscular man stood up.

His voice was deep and resonant, like a hammer striking everyone’s eardrums.

“Sects are up to no good, giving us family forces no chance to survive!”

“Ning, where is your nephew? His cultivation is extremely high. If he could take action, it wouldn’t be a problem.”

The head of the Ning family sighed deeply, “He’s in seclusion, cultivating.”

“Ning, are you sure it’s the work of a sect? This doesn’t make sense!”

“Yeah, there’s no enmity between the Ning family and the sects. We’ve always minded our own business. Why would they attack us now?”

The head of the Ning family rubbed his forehead, his voice tired.

“I don’t know, but it is indeed a sect. Our people fought with him before. When he left, he left behind a piece of cloth. From that fabric, it’s clear he’s a sect disciple.”

His tone grew more and more despondent.

“This person has been lurking outside our Ning family manor, ambushing our business caravans, causing us significant losses, and killing our guests. He can easily enter the manor.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other merchants present looked around in panic.

The head of the Ning family waved his hand, “Don’t worry, everyone. As I said, we fought him before and injured him. He won’t recover quickly, so I took this opportunity to call you all here to discuss a countermeasure.”

They finally relaxed a bit.

“Is there only one attacker?”

“We’ve only seen one person. He seems to be seeking revenge. When we asked him what he wanted, he didn’t answer, acting like he was playing a cat-and-mouse game.”

“Outrageous!”

An irritable old man slammed the table and stood up abruptly.

“Is this sect trying to humiliate us?”

A man in a gray brocade robe snorted coldly, “The Tuo Yue Sect has been quite active lately. Could it be them?”

“It shouldn’t be.” The head of the Ning family frowned, “Shaoyang stayed at the Golden

Phoenix Village for a while and was very close to a direct disciple of the Tuo Yue Sect leader.”

“That makes it even more likely!”

A middle-aged woman raised her voice, “Any association with sect members is bad news. It’s probably why we’re in this mess.”
