This is His Father-in-law!

"Please enlighten me, Demon Lord..."

Luo Tianya asked, confused.

He had thought for a long time and truly had no impression of having offended the Demon Lord.

"I ask you, did you send people to hunt down Ruying?"

Ning Yechen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.

Luo Tianya's brows furrowed, his expression growing even more puzzled.

"Is the Demon Lord joking?"

"Ruying is my daughter, why would I send someone to kill her?"

It wasn't him who ordered it?

Ning Yechen was also confused upon hearing this, his gaze scrutinizing Luo Tianya carefully.

Seeing his steady aura, confused eyes, and natural expression, he didn't seem to be lying.

Could it be that the ones chasing Luo Ruying were not from the Goddess Luo Hall?

At this moment, Luo Tianya also began to explain:

"Although I don't know why you, Demon Lord, are looking for my daughter, she was taken away by a certain power over a hundred years ago because they fancied her."

"I haven't seen her since she was taken away."

"She has never returned to the Goddess Luo Hall."

"What is the name of the power that took her?"

Ning Yechen questioned sternly.

Since it wasn't the Goddess Luo Hall, it must be that power that took her!

Luo Tianya shook his head.

"I don't know who they are either."

"I only know that their power is extremely strong, far beyond what my Goddess Luo Hall can contend with."

"Even the Ice Mist Sacred Domain in this Northern Nether Immortal Domain would not dare to offend them lightly!"

"They said my daughter's talent was extraordinary and that she had great potential to become an Empress in the future. After giving my Goddess Luo Hall many benefits, they took her away."

The Ice Mist Sacred Domain was one of the top sect powers in the Nine Great Immortal Domains, on par with the Tiandao Imperial Palace. If even the Ice Mist Sacred Domain didn't dare to offend them lightly, then it could only be those ancient clans that had been in seclusion in the Celestial Realm for thousands of years!

Those old geezers usually hid somewhere in the Celestial Realm. Unless a world-ending disaster occurred in the Celestial Realm, those old geezers would not appear, nor would they interfere in any affairs.

Yet, they issued an order to hunt down Luo Ruying...

The Celestial Realm was vast, said to contain all rivers and oceans, sun, moon, and stars. It was a hundred times larger than the human world. Finding those ancient clans was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Even if they found them, it might not be the same clan that was hunting Luo Ruying.

Ning Yechen's face showed extreme displeasure and impatience.

His wife's situation was more complicated than he had imagined...

However, the fact that his wife was fancied by those old geezers also indicated her extraordinary talent.

Otherwise, she would never have been noticed by those ancient hidden clans.

Seeing Ning Yechen's displeased expression, Luo Tianya gathered his courage and asked worriedly, "Has the Demon Lord perhaps seen my daughter?"

"How is she now...?"

Through his conversation with Ning Yechen, he felt that the Demon Lord was indeed here to seek an explanation, but it felt more like he was here to vent anger on behalf of Luo Ruying!

Moreover, it seemed that the Demon Lord and his youngest daughter knew each other...!

It sounded like his daughter was still being hunted!

As a father, he could only reluctantly hand over his daughter over a hundred years ago for the sake of his family's future, but this had become his most regrettable act.

He had no idea whether his daughter was alive or dead now.

Hearing Luo Tianya's question, Ning Yechen snapped back to reality. He quickly retracted his legs and sat up straight.

His expression also changed from its previous arrogant demeanor to a kindly and amiable smile.

The smile even carried a hint of fawning...

He hadn't known when he first arrived and was prepared to destroy the Goddess Luo Hall, so he had adopted the demeanor and attitude he had as the Demon Lord back then.

Now that he knew it was a misunderstanding, he quickly reined himself in.

After all, the other party was his wife's father, his father-in-law!!!

He had been sitting with his legs crossed and propping his face, which was incredibly rude!

He absolutely had to leave a good impression...!

Ning Yechen felt incredibly fortunate at that moment that he hadn't rashly moved to destroy the entire Goddess Luo Hall just now...

If he had actually destroyed it, it would have caused a huge problem!

"Ahem, Father-in-law... no, Hall Master Luo, your daughter is very well. You don't need to worry."

Ning Yechen coughed lightly and said politely with a smile.

His attitude was a complete 180-degree turn from before.

Luo Tianya looked bewildered and confused, his heart filled with extreme caution.

Why did this Demon Lord's attitude change so suddenly...?

It had startled him...

"Lord Demon Lord..."

"Ah, Hall Master Luo, there's no need to call me Demon Lord. Let's not be so formal!"

"My real name is Ning Yechen. Hall Master Luo can just call me Yechen~"

As soon as Luo Tianya opened his mouth, Ning Yechen raised his hand to interrupt, a friendly smile all over his face.

This, however, made Luo Tianya feel even more uneasy...

The Demon Lord actually wanted him to call him by his name...?

This had never happened in the entire Celestial Realm, right?!

How many people dared to call the Demon Lord by his real name?!

"Ye, Yechen...?"

Luo Tianya cautiously uttered the name.

"Yes! Please speak, Hall Master Luo~"

Ning Yechen said with a satisfied smile.

See, didn't this bring the relationship between a son-in-law and a father-in-law one step closer!

It was just that it wasn't appropriate for him to reveal his relationship with Luo Ruying yet...

At least not until Luo Ruying accepted his identity, and then he would find a suitable time to announce it...

Luo Tianya was very afraid of Ning Yechen's sudden fawning attitude, but at this moment, he was more concerned about his daughter Luo Ruying's condition.

So, he could only brace himself and ask:

"You must have met my daughter, right?"

"What is my daughter like now, and where is she?"

"She is truly doing very well now, you don't need to worry."

"As for where she is, I won't be telling you for the time being."

Ning Yechen thought for a moment and had no intention of telling Luo Tianya about Luo Ruying.

To prevent him from worrying, he hadn't even mentioned that Luo Ruying had her bones dug out and her heart taken.

On one hand, he was afraid that if Luo Tianya knew Luo Ruying was with him, he would worry even more. Now was not the time to tell him.

On the other hand, if he were to tell him, it might even lead to the crisis of the Goddess Luo Hall being wiped out!

The mysterious hidden clan behind taking Luo Ruying away could easily destroy the Goddess Luo Hall if they wanted to.

Luo Ruying was also well aware of this, which was why even when she fled, she had no intention of returning to the Goddess Luo Hall, nor did she even say goodbye.

She was afraid that the mysterious clan would find out and bring the disaster of annihilation to her family.

That's why she resolutely chose to flee to the Human Realm.

Luo Tianya still wanted to press for more information, but Ning Yechen didn't give him another chance. He got up and disappeared from sight like smoke.

Since he had already learned that the Goddess Luo Hall had not ordered the pursuit, there was no point in him staying here any longer.

Finding the true culprit behind this would be difficult. From now on, he could only wait for the other party to come looking for him again.

They dug out his wife's celestial bone and heart, and this matter would not be let go just like that!

Luo Tianya watched Ning Yechen leave with his own eyes, but he did not feel relieved. Instead, his expression was extremely serious.

How could Ruying know the Demon Lord...?

The Demon Lord specifically came to the Celestial Realm to inquire about her?

What exactly happened to her, and why was she being hunted?!

Luo Tianya's intuition told him that something must have happened to his daughter Luo Ruying!

No!

He couldn't just sit here and wait!

Luo Tianya's expression turned solemn, and he shouted loudly towards the outside:

"Guards!"
