I'll Wait for My Brother-in-Law to Return

The red-haired woman's full name was Luo Danhong. When she drew a little closer to the black shield, she instantly noticed something unusual about Xu Yunyi.

"Wait! Why does the cultivation presence coming from this woman have the scent of Spiritual Qi from the Immortal Ruins?!"

Xu Yunyi had failed to conceal her presence in time. She hurriedly withdrew it only after Luo Danhong had drawn closer, but it was already too late.

The two women locked eyes through the black light shield, both speechless for a moment.

Xu Yunyi could clearly sense Luo Danhong's cultivation at the Peak Great Emperor Realm. With such strength, crushing them to death would be effortless.

She was growing a little worried. Could the black light shield her brother-in-law had set up really protect them?

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have practiced arrays here. Given the relationship between the Immortal Ruins and the Demon Domain, once I'm discovered, I'll definitely be attacked!" She now regretted losing herself so completely in her practice.

Yet of the four of them, she was the only one worried.

Lu Zixuan, Sun Minzi, and the third woman all looked calm. Even when they saw Luo Danhong approach, they showed no concern.

They all remembered something Lu Qing'an had said.

As long as they didn't leave the light shield, nothing could hurt them.

"Are you from the Immortal Ruins?" Luo Danhong frowned deeply. She had finally encountered someone talented enough to receive her inheritance, only for her to be from the Immortal Ruins.

That made her hesitate-or rather, she was unwilling to accept it. Though she had already seen the answer, she couldn't help asking.

Xu Yunyi took a deep breath and said nothing. All she could do now was stall for time.

Since Luo Danhong had asked, perhaps she wasn't certain whether Xu Yunyi was from the Immortal Ruins.

Seeing that Xu Yunyi wouldn't speak, Luo Danhong frowned even harder.

"Can't you speak?"

Xu Yunyi: "..."

"Have you misunderstood something? I don't intend to hurt you." Looking at Xu Yunyi's wary expression, Luo Danhong thought of something and deliberately put on a faint smile, signaling for Xu Yunyi not to worry.

Xu Yunyi was slightly stunned.

She doesn't intend to hurt us?

Wait!

She had suddenly gone from frowning to acting like this. Clearly, she was putting on an act.

So Xu Yunyi still didn't answer.

No matter what Luo Danhong said, Xu Yunyi wouldn't speak. Luo Danhong was speechless.

What is wrong with this woman?

If she hadn't seen wrongly just now, this woman really was from the Immortal Ruins. But how could someone from the Immortal Ruins have appeared here?

That was very strange!

She gritted her teeth and stopped caring whether Xu Yunyi was from the Immortal Ruins. An Innate Array Physique was so rare that it was even less likely to appear than that Eternal Night Demon Emperor had been to obtain the Eternal Night Emperor Position after breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm.

She had to seize the chance to obtain such a talent!

If all else failed, she would nurture her in secret, hiding her away!

Or she could have this woman start her cultivation over, adapt to the Demon Domain's cultivation techniques, and then study arrays all over again!

After all, this woman had yet to break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

"I discovered that you have an Innate Array Physique, and I am the strongest person in the Array Dao in the Demon Domain. Seeing someone as exceptionally gifted as you, I wish to take you as my disciple! Would you be willing to receive my lifetime inheritance in arrays?!"

Luo Danhong stated her intentions decisively.

As soon as she finished speaking, all sorts of array lights flashed around her, displaying her formidable attainment in the Array Dao.

Xu Yunyi was even more stunned.

She had indeed awakened an Innate Array Physique just now. This kind of array physique was exceptionally rare.

In the Immortal Ruins, Array Dao experts with such a physique existed only in ancient legends.

Could this woman really just want to take her as a disciple?

She looked at the arrays behind Luo Danhong, and in just a short moment, she was dazzled by the presence and Array Dao attainment they displayed.

Such powerful arrays!

Such intricate arrays!

She had seen the arrays of the strongest array master in the Immortal Ruins, but compared to the woman before her, that array master was simply a little brother among little brothers!

There was no comparison at all!

Is she really the strongest array master in the Demon Domain?!

Why are there so many talented people in the Demon Domain?

Whether it's their experts or all sorts of other things, they're superior to those in the Immortal Ruins!

If it weren't for the restricting boundary wall, the Immortal Ruins would probably have been destroyed by the Demon Domain's experts long ago.

"Are you sure you really want to take me as your disciple?" Xu Yunyi was somewhat tempted, and asked in a small voice.

With such attainment in the Array Dao, she really could learn a great deal if she became Luo Danhong's disciple!

"I've already confirmed that you're from the Immortal Ruins. That will affect my teaching later on. As long as you agree to cripple your cultivation and start over with our Demon Domain's cultivation techniques, I'll pass my lifetime inheritance on to you."

Luo Danhong spoke.

Xu Yunyi's expression turned ugly.

Start over?!

She had worked so hard to cultivate to this realm, and she wasn't far from the Great Emperor Realm.

When Lu Zixuan heard this, she hurriedly shouted, "Auntie, don't!"

Hearing Luo Danhong tell her aunt to cripple her cultivation, she hurried to stop her.

She knew very well that since her father had been able to convert her cultivation from the Immortal Ruins into the Demon Domain cultivation she now possessed, he should be able to help her aunt too.

If her aunt crippled her cultivation, how long would it take to cultivate back to this point?!

Xu Yunyi quickly turned to Lu Zixuan and hurriedly asked via voice transmission, "Zixuan, have you noticed a problem?"

Lu Zixuan said, "Auntie, wait until my father comes back before you decide!"

She didn't say everything, for fear that it would be bad if her father couldn't do it after all.

Her father should be back soon.

Xu Yunyi's eyes shifted, and she looked at Luo Danhong outside the light shield and cupped her hands. "Senior, I'll wait for my brother-in-law to return before making a decision."

"Wait for your brother-in-law to return?" Luo Danhong fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "When will your brother-in-law return? Where did he go? And is this black light shield an array you set up?"

Up close, she had discovered that the black light shield possessed a special kind of energy. To her, it didn't feel like an array at all.

Yet for it to have such a strange effect, it should be an array.

And among those present, Xu Yunyi was the only array master, as well as the one with relatively strong cultivation.

That meant there was a ninety-nine percent chance Xu Yunyi had set up the array.

"My brother-in-law went out to take care of something. He should be back soon." Xu Yunyi wasn't sure whether Luo Danhong was truly a good person, so she couldn't very well explain what Lu Qing'an had gone to do and simply gave a brief answer.

"Then is this your array? What is it called?" Luo Danhong continued.

Xu Yunyi shook her head. "This is my brother-in-law's work."

"Hmm? Your brother-in-law is an array master too?" Luo Danhong was somewhat surprised.

She had truly never seen such a strange array.

If even she had never seen it, that showed just how rare it was.

After all, she was the strongest array master in the Demon Domain.

"My brother-in-law probably isn't one." Xu Yunyi didn't know whether Lu Qing'an was hiding anything else from her. It was possible he was an array master too, but she really couldn't be sure.

Luo Danhong frowned again, then curiously reached out to touch the black light shield.

As long as it was an array, she could spend some time studying it until she understood it, and even break it.

Since she was waiting anyway, she might as well see what kind of array this was!

Her finger touched the black light shield.

But the next moment, her beautiful eyes flew wide open.

"Activate the arrays!"

She shouted, and arrays flashed all around her.

Puff! Puff! Puff!!!

The moment she touched the black light shield, a terrifying pressure swept toward her.

It was extremely aggressive and destructive!

She hurriedly activated her arrays to resist it, only to discover in shock that of the ten top-tier tenth-grade ultimate defensive arrays she had activated, the first nine were blasted apart in an instant!

The final one finally stopped the pressure!

"Th-this! What's going on?!!!"

Seeing that a mere wave of pressure had blasted apart nine of her defensive arrays, Luo Danhong fell into endless doubt.
