Reunion with an Old Friend, Great Emperor Leixiao

Everyone present was stunned by Lu Qing'an's methods.

A Middle Great Emperor Realm expert had been utterly helpless before this man. What did that mean?!

This man was at least a Late Great Emperor Realm expert!

He might even be a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert!!

Seeing how powerful her father was, Lu Zixuan couldn't help swallowing.

Especially when she saw how easily and casually he killed.

Was this really the father she knew?!

He was so cool!!

Their mother had once said that one of their father's greatest virtues was how unfailingly gentle he was with everyone.

But she had never imagined that when the time came, he would show such an iron-blooded side!

The woman in the red dress also stood dumbfounded in the sky.

She had thought there would be serious trouble, but she had never expected this man to be at the Late Great Emperor Realm or even the Peak Great Emperor Realm!

And what had that been just now?

Black flames?

They had reduced a Middle Great Emperor Realm expert to that state in an instant?!

Great Emperor Realm experts were said to be extremely difficult to kill.

Many Great Emperor Realm experts possessed Secret Methods for escaping danger, as well as extraordinarily strong vitality.

Yet what she had just seen was how fragile a Great Emperor Realm expert could be!

It went against everything she knew!

Lu Qing'an had only killed the Walking Corpse Sect member; he hadn't burned the man's belongings.

He briefly probed them with his Divine Sense, and after confirming that there were some good things among them, he waved his hand and put them away.

Then he looked at the younger daughter he was still holding.

He was a little surprised to see that she wasn't frightened or even shocked by his killing. Instead, she seemed to find it rather amusing.

"Miaomiao, aren't you scared?" Lu Qing'an asked with a smile.

Lu Miaomiao shook her head. "No! Daddy, you're so cool!"

Looking at his younger daughter, Lu Qing'an thought that this little cotton-padded jacket of his really did seem to have something special about her!

She was worthy of having his blood in her veins!

Lu Qing'an smiled and rubbed Lu Miaomiao's head, full of pride.

Just then, another presence suddenly appeared.

As it appeared, an elderly voice suddenly boomed from the sky, shaking the heavens.

"Who dares cause trouble in this emperor's city? Are you tired of living?"

Heavy thunderclouds swallowed the sky in an instant. Purple-black clouds churned like an angry sea, blotting out the heavens and the sun.

Lightning tore through the firmament like giant pythons, and its explosive roar shook the earth, as though the end of the world had arrived.

Terrifying pressure poured down, making all things tremble and even freezing the air.

Everyone present was startled by the sight.

"It's the city lord!"

"The lord of Demon Descent City is one of the strongest experts in the entire Demon Domain! He's at the Peak Great Emperor Realm! I hear he was also one of the former old Demon Emperor's few close friends! This man's in trouble now!"

"I've been in Demon Descent City for so many years, and I've never seen the city lord appear! I don't even know what he looks like. Am I finally going to behold the city lord's face today?!"

"Many years ago, two Great Emperor Realm experts fought here and damaged a great many buildings. The lord of Demon Descent City was furious and killed both Early Great Emperor Realm experts on the spot! He hung their heads in front of the city gates and issued a decree strictly forbidding all Great Emperor Realm experts from fighting here. Will the city lord kill this man on the spot too?!"

"Whatever happens, today's show has certainly been satisfying!"

The onlookers hurried farther away, afraid they would be caught up in a battle between Great Emperor Realm experts of this caliber.

The woman in the red dress hadn't expected so many twists and turns. Looking at the thunderclouds overhead, she felt the corner of her mouth twitch.

She was on the side of this father and daughter now, wasn't she?

Would the lord of Demon Descent City take the opportunity to kill her too?!

Why was her fate so full of misfortune?!

She knew very well how powerful the lord of Demon Descent City was.

He was someone who had been close enough to the previous Demon Emperor to call him a brother.

There were only enough experts of that caliber in the entire Demon Domain to count on two hands!

Never mind the Walking Corpse Sect's Great Emperor Realm expert from before-even this seemingly powerful Great Emperor Realm expert would have to fall to the ground and beg for mercy before someone so powerful, wouldn't he?!

Yet just as she thought this and turned her gaze toward Lu Qing'an, she saw no trace of fear on his face.

On the contrary, a faint smile hung on his lips.

"This old bastard still loves showing off as much as ever."

Lightning intertwined into a net, and in the dazzling white light, a figure stood atop the clouds.

Destructive lightning coiled around him as he looked down upon all living things like a sovereign creator.

Everyone in Demon Descent City was drawn to the sight, and their legs couldn't help going weak.

They didn't dare look up.

He was too powerful!!!

A Peak Great Emperor Realm expert!!!

If he struck with all his might, he could wipe out a city in an instant!!!

"What ant dares show itself here? State your name!"

The figure in the sky spoke again, his voice shaking heaven and earth.

The corners of Lu Qing'an's mouth rose. "Your grandpa."

"Courting death! How dare you..."

The figure in the sky was just about to curse furiously when he suddenly noticed something and stopped short.

"Wait! Why does that voice sound so familiar..."

High in the heavens, Great Emperor Leixiao, Xiao Qingyi, blinked and quickly focused on the person speaking below.

He would have been better off not looking. Once he saw the man's face clearly, he was utterly dumbfounded.

"No! No! Am I seeing things?!!"

The aged voice in the sky instantly became wildly excited.

The oppressive feeling created with so much pressure just now vanished in an instant at the sound of that voice.

Then the lightning also began to dissipate rapidly, visibly fading away.

In less than a breath, the sky returned to normal.

It was cloudless for ten thousand miles, a clear expanse of blue.

The figure had disappeared as well.

Instead, a white-haired old man in purple robes suddenly appeared as if out of thin air before Lu Qing'an.

He had a kindly face, with a lightning-shaped scar on his chin.

"Hahaha! It really is you, you bastard!! Where have you been all these years?! I've had such a miserable time searching for you!!!"

Xiao Qingyi immediately grabbed Lu Qing'an by the shoulders and shook him hard.

"Stop! You're shaking my daughter."

Lu Qing'an narrowed his eyes as he spoke in a threatening tone.

Xiao Qingyi stopped. Those all-too-familiar threatening words made the smile on his face grow even wider.

"That's not right! Wait! Your daughter?!"

Xiao Qingyi quickly looked at the little girl in Lu Qing'an's arms.

He would have been better off not looking. After taking a close look, he was once again struck as if by lightning.

"You bastard! No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere in the Demon Domain! So you... went to the Immortal Ruins?!!"

Lu Qing'an nodded.

Xiao Qingyi was speechless.

This bastard had suddenly left without a word, and after all these years, he had suddenly come back-with a daughter in tow!

"Is she really your daughter? Tsk, tsk, she doesn't look like you at all! There isn't a fierce feature on her face!"

Lu Qing'an promptly kicked Xiao Qingyi, sending him stumbling backward.

"Does my daughter have to look fierce? Look at her eyes and her nose. Don't they look like mine?"

"Her features do look quite like yours, but she isn't fierce. She's sweet and soft instead, the kind of girl who makes you want to get close to her."

Xiao Qingyi wasn't angry at all about Lu Qing'an's kick. Instead, he felt that familiar feeling return, and the smile on his face grew twice as wide.

"Daddy, who is this?"

Hearing Xiao Qingyi talk about her, Lu Miaomiao tilted her head and asked.

"Miaomiao, say hello. Just call him Old Undying. He's an old friend of Daddy's."

"Shouldn't I call him Grandpa?" Lu Miaomiao blinked her big, doe-like eyes.

"Hahaha! Yes! You should call me Grandpa! I'm many times older than your daddy!"

Being called Grandpa by Lu Miaomiao made Xiao Qingyi's heart bloom with joy.

"Wow! You bastard actually have such a cute, sensible daughter. This damned heaven is unfair!!!"

Was this what children from the Immortal Ruins were like?!

She was so much cuter than the children in the Demon Domain!!!
