Chapter 8

In his previous life, after his younger brother died, he kept wondering why, despite being unable to cultivate his qi sea, his brother could erupt with such powerful strength. It wasn’t until later, when he received an inheritance and broadened his horizons, that he finally understood: his brother had practiced swordsmanship with relentless dedication, day after day, year after year, already fusing unwavering conviction into his very life. The sword techniques he cultivated unknowingly aligned with the demonic clan’s methods!

The demonic clan was a race even nobler than the monster clan, born with bodies far stronger than humans. Thomas Nash couldn’t cultivate his qi sea, but by practicing swordsmanship day and night, he had inadvertently embarked on the path of physical cultivation!

Back then, he was groping his way forward, without any techniques. But this 【Lingxi Body Refinement Technique】 was the supreme method of the demonic clan that he himself had obtained, no less precious than the 【Ninefold Nirvana Art】. As long as he passed this method on to him, he would definitely be able to cleanse the residual snake venom from his body and restore his legs!

The 【Lingxi Body Refinement Technique】 and the 【Ninefold Nirvana Art】 were the two great techniques that had made his name in his previous life, never passed on to anyone. Now, in this life, being able to see his younger brother again left him with no regrets—passing them on to him was nothing!

“Brother…”

Seeing his elder brother, who had changed his attitude, give him such a great promise, Thomas Nash's eyes reddened, and he secretly vowed in his heart that if his legs could truly be healed, he would treat his brother well, even at the cost of his life!

“All right, cultivate well and strive for achievement. When the time comes, the two of us brothers will roam the world together and slay all the monsters!” William Nash laughed heartily.

“Roam the world together and slay all the monsters—yes, brother, I will never let you down!”

Thomas Nash's eyes shone, and his blood boiled with excitement in an instant!

Ever since he could remember, Thomas Nash had been disabled. Neither the family nor the branch ever looked up to him. Now, not only did his brother William Nash say he could heal his legs, but he also wanted to take him to roam the world. How could he not be excited?

“By the way, Thomas Nash, wasn’t it always your sister who kept watch for you during your cultivation to prevent me from finding out? Why isn’t she here today?”

William Nash asked with a smile.

The sister he spoke of was the daughter of his eldest uncle, Little Grace Nash.

Their branch had been passed down from their grandfather Henry Nash. Among the previous generation, there were three brothers: the eldest uncle, his father, and the younger uncle. The eldest uncle and younger uncle had both passed away, each leaving behind a daughter and a son: Little Grace Nash and Thomas Nash.

“Yesterday, sister heard from a secret source that Charles Nash had already received the family’s punishment order. At dawn, she went out and hasn’t come back yet!”

Thomas Nash scratched his head and said.

The family punishment order was issued by the family’s council of elders. Usually, there was a time gap between receiving and issuing the order, so it was normal to hear about it in advance.

“You said sister went out at dawn?”

Hearing this, William Nash's face flushed red, as if struck by a heavy blow, and his whole body trembled violently.

Chapter 0004: The Thousand Desire Flower

He had thought that by waking up early and crippling Charles Nash and Stephen Nash, this incident with his sister wouldn’t happen. But unexpectedly, it had already occurred before he regained consciousness!

If he remembered correctly, his sister, upon hearing the news and worrying that their branch couldn’t come up with the silver, went out to try to borrow money. By chance, she encountered the young master of the The Foster Family, Samuel Foster, who was out for a stroll!

Samuel Foster, driven by lust, insulted his sister. He verbally promised to help redeem the Luoshui Golden Shield, forcing her to marry him. But at the critical moment, he suddenly went back on his word, publicly slandering her as greedy for wealth, lacking self-restraint, seducing with her beauty, and reported her to the The Nash Residence, demanding an explanation!

At that time, their branch was already extremely down and out, and Samuel Foster was the sole heir of the The Foster Family, one of the four great families. With such fabricated accusations, the The Nash Residence actually imposed punishment, forcing him, who was in charge of the branch, to admit that his sister was a wanton woman. To spare him from embarrassment and to protect the branch’s reputation, his sister drew her sword and slit her own throat on the spot!

That year, his sister was seventeen!

Seventeen years old, in the prime of her youth, yet she suffered such a tragic fate because of his affairs, and perished because he couldn’t stand his ground!

In his previous life, his sister was one of his greatest regrets. In this life, the tragedy must never happen again!

“What’s wrong, brother?” Seeing his brother’s expression change, Thomas Nash hurriedly asked.

“It’s nothing. You stay here and cultivate. I’m going out for a bit!”

Recalling these events, William Nash couldn’t stay any longer. After a quick word, he rushed out of the city!

According to his memories from his previous life, it was on her way back from raising money outside the city that his sister was spotted by Samuel Foster, who was then driven by lust!

But… there were so many roads leading out of the city—which one was it? Where exactly did his sister suffer the assault?

Without this information, looking for someone outside the city was like searching for a needle in a haystack!

For the first time, William Nash felt a sense of powerlessness, realizing that even with rebirth, he might not be an all-knowing prophet!

In his previous life, he had cared too little for his sister. He didn’t even know which road she took or where the incident happened!

“The only branch that still had dealings with our Henry Nash branch was the Richard Nash branch. That branch was implicated in an incident back then and was expelled from Luoshui City, now living at the foot of Xialuo Mountain. Sister must have gone to find them!”

A flash of inspiration struck, and William Nash suddenly remembered something, his face turning incomparably grim.
