However, the three of them noticed that Broda, who was with Qili, seemed a bit strange.

She hasn't said a word since we met.

One of the old men asked:

"Bloda, what's wrong? Aren't you happy to be back? Why haven't you said anything? You haven't even called me 'Uncle'?"

He is the eldest elder of the Ackerman family.

Qili looked at her uncle talking to her sister like that and her eyes showed a hint of sadness again. Then she said.

"Sister, she..."

He was about to speak when he choked up and couldn't utter the rest of his words.

After finally letting out a long sigh, he then spoke:

"Let's go inside and talk. So much has happened lately that I don't know how to explain it to you right now."

Chapter 573 A Living Corpse

The three nodded in agreement, and then asked about Su Che's identity.

Qili then said very seriously:

"Lord Su Che is the savior of me and Broda!"

With just one sentence, the three of them felt even more respect for Su Che.

Although all three of them are rank-3 demons, their strength is definitely no match for Qili and Broda.

As for someone like Su Che, being addressed as "Master" by Qi Li, he must be exceptionally powerful.

Moreover, they are not the type of people who would casually use their mental power to probe the strength of others.

Because we've been spending far too much time in the slums.

Even though he was a demon of higher ranks, he had no interest in cultivation and only hoped to live a better life in the commoner's area.

Moreover, the number of demons who reach the rank of rank in the commoner district is extremely small, and they rarely do anything about it. Even if a powerful demon appears in front of them, they would forget that they can use their mental power to detect its strength.

Therefore, just hearing Qili call Su Che "Lord Su Che" was enough for them to show him great respect.

So the three of them respectfully invited Su Che inside.

Broda obediently followed behind Su Che and entered the territory of the Ackerman family.

After a winding journey, we entered a study.

Compared to the Kurt family's study, the Ackerman family's study was much smaller, and the number of books inside was also much smaller.

However, it is very old-fashioned and looks like it has a long history.

Noticing Su Che's gaze, Qi Li said calmly.

“Our Ackerman family has been here for over a hundred years. Before that, our Ackerman family held a certain position in the first layer of Hell.”

"However, with the invasion of the advanced demons in the second layer of hell, a large number of magic arrays were destroyed, and no one wanted to go to the second layer of hell anymore. As a result, the role of our Ackerman family in the first layer of hell gradually disappeared."

"Back then, our Ackerman family was the object of everyone's admiration, but later we became the object of everyone's forgetfulness."

“In the territory of the rank-up demons, our Ackerman family gradually lost its voice and could no longer survive in the territory of the rank-up demons, so we had no choice but to come to the civilian area.”

"The main reason is that our Ackerman family suffered heavy casualties during the great war. Some of the stronger members even drove the rank-2 demons who had entered the second level of hell directly to the second level of hell in order to kill them."

"After that, they never came back. All that remained were low-level demons who had reached the next level. In the end, they failed to complete the Ackerman family's legacy. My sister and I are among the few remaining demons in the Ackerman family."

"If... some of our ancestors had remained in the first level of hell, things would probably be different now."

Her words carried a hint of sadness.

The three elders also bowed their heads deeply and remained silent.

Although they were already elders of the Ackerman family, they knew that their strength was indeed too weak.

If they had any talent for cultivation and were stronger, their Ackerman family wouldn't have such a low status in the first layer of Hell.

While the three were still blaming themselves.

Qili's eyes fell on Broda.

Since Su Che used the Puppet Contract on Broda, she is now like a walking doll.

It cannot speak, cannot make facial expressions, and cannot even breathe.

She just stood there, her skin so fair it was almost frightening.

However, ordinary people would never associate Broda with a living dead.

Because she looks just like a living person.

She just doesn't like to speak.

"If I were strong enough, or if our Ackerman family were strong enough, perhaps Broda wouldn't have died."

Upon hearing this, especially the second half, the three elders, who were still blaming themselves, suddenly raised their heads.

The eldest elder's lips trembled slightly.

"Chief, what are you saying?"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Broda.

"Isn't Miss Broda perfectly fine? How can you say she's dead?"

Qili's eyes reddened slightly, and then she forced a weak smile.

“Bloda does look like a living person now, but she is already… a living corpse.”

"I have to thank Lord Su Che for all of this. If it weren't for Lord Su Che's appearance, I might not have even been able to bring Broda's body out of Gan."

Her words were difficult for most people to understand.

After taking a few deep breaths, Qili began to recount her experiences with Broda, and even the entire process of how Su Che rescued them.

Broda's death was something that Qili never expected.

In her mind, Broda would definitely stay with her for a long, long time.

Unexpectedly, he left before me.

After hearing Qili's account of the events, the three elders' expressions turned extremely grim.

P.S.: Please give me flowers, reviews, and subscriptions.

Chapter 574 More important things

The Ackerman family already had very few rank-one demons, and even fewer had the opportunity to advance to become winged rank-one demons.

Qili and the tribe stayed because they had the opportunity to advance to become two-winged demons, which is why they left the civilian area and went to Crescent Island.

They originally thought that when they returned, they might have already become two-winged demons, and that they could rely on their strength to make their Ackerman family famous.

It's not impossible for them to eventually return to their strength from a hundred years ago.

What I never expected was...

Not only did they not receive such good news, but they also learned that one of their outstanding rank-1 demons had fallen.

Everyone was immersed in grief.

Finally, Qili placed her hand on Broda's shoulder, her eyes still filled with sadness.

"It's best for the three of you to know about this; don't tell anyone else in the family."

She knew that the Ackerman family had always pinned their hopes on her and Broda, and if the news of Broda's death spread, everyone would feel very sad and disappointed.

She didn't want to see such a scene.

As long as she doesn't say anything, ordinary people wouldn't notice anything unusual about Broda.

Moreover, Qili also harbored a certain selfish motive; she hoped that Broda truly existed in this world.

As long as someone believes Broda is still alive, she can also deceive herself into believing that Broda is still alive.

While everyone was still feeling sentimental, Su Che coughed lightly twice.

"I'm sorry, but I've come to your Ackerman family this time for something more important."

Qili then became serious and began to speak.

"Lord Su Che, please speak."

Su Che spoke calmly:

"I just wanted to ask about the Tanlian family (bgce). Since the three of you are elders of the Ackerman family and have always lived in Dothraki City, and have a small intelligence network there, you should know something about the Tanlian family, right?"

This question made Qili glance at Su Che a few more times.

Su Che had asked me about the Tanlian family before. Although I didn't know why, Su Che's question made me wonder if there was something going on with the Tanlian family.

Upon hearing this, the three elders all looked at Qili.

It seemed as if they had received Qili's permission.

Qi Li immediately said, "Lord Su Che's problem is the same as my problem. You must tell Lord Su Che everything you know."
