He Nearly Scared Her Out of Her Wits

Luo Danhong was plunged into boundless shock.

She wondered if everything she had just experienced had been an illusion.

But no matter how many times she checked, her formations really had all been blasted apart!

They had all vanished in less than a single breath!

"Th-this really was your brother-in-law's doing?!" Luo Danhong quickly looked at Xu Yunyi, her eyes still wide.

Xu Yunyi was dumbfounded too.

She had never imagined that this black shield of light would be so terrifying!

As a formation master herself, she knew exactly how impressive it was that Luo Danhong had raised ten defensive formations in the blink of an eye, with the speed of lightning, and just how powerful those formations were.

Yet such an impressive person and such ten powerful formations had proved utterly incapable of withstanding a single burst of energy from her brother-in-law's shield of light!

In the blink of an eye, nine such formidable formations had been broken?!

What on earth had happened?!

What kind of technique was her brother-in-law's?!

How could it be so terrifyingly powerful!!!

Xu Yunyi blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Luo Danhong, who wore the same expression as she did. She shook her head to show that she didn't know either.

"Senior, what did you just do?"

She couldn't help wondering now if Luo Danhong had been putting on an act.

Had this senior broken the formations herself?

Otherwise, how could a single burst of energy from the black shield of light possess such terrifying power at the slightest touch?

Nine such powerful defensive formations had been destroyed in an instant. Did that mean that if a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert touched the black shield of light, they would be wiped out in the blink of an eye?!

After all, those nine defensive formations were enough to rival the full defensive power of a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert.

Luo Danhong was even more dumbfounded when Xu Yunyi put the question back to her.

"I didn't do anything! This shield of light attacked me!"

"This shield of light can attack people too? And it's that fierce?" Xu Yunyi couldn't help quickly recalling what Lu Qing'an had said before leaving.

He had said that as long as the four of them didn't leave the shield of light, no one, however powerful, would be able to enter it.

At the time, she had thought it might be able to keep relatively powerful people out. After all, her brother-in-law was a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert himself.

But judging by what had happened, had he actually been telling the truth?!

No Peak Great Emperor Realm expert, however powerful, could get in?!

At that thought, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she recalled what Xiao Qingyi and the others had said in the courtyard not long ago.

Could it be that her brother-in-law really was an invincible existence in the Demon Domain?!

He could beat anyone?!

Had he hidden himself so deeply all these years?!

"Senior, why don't you wait quietly to the side until my brother-in-law returns?"

Seeing that Luo Danhong didn't seem to be putting on an act, Xu Yunyi offered the advice out of concern for her.

She had now seen the full extent of Luo Danhong's skill in the Dao of formations.

Her skill in the Dao of formations really was far greater than Xu Yunyi's.

If she could receive Luo Danhong's inheritance, it would be a tremendous opportunity for her!

Luo Danhong pondered for a long while, her gaze still fixed on the black shield of light.

At last, she nodded.

Just as she did, she suddenly noticed a little girl behind Xu Yunyi wearing a delighted expression.

"Daddy's back!"

When Lu Zixuan and Xu Yunyi heard Lu Miaomiao, they quickly looked in the direction she was pointing. But they didn't see Lu Qing'an there, and only when they turned their eyes back to Luo Danhong did they see him.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qing'an had silently appeared behind Luo Danhong!

At that moment, Luo Danhong didn't seem to have noticed that a handsome, long-haired man in black was standing behind her.

"Daddy!"

"Dad!"

"Brother-in-law!"

Luo Danhong froze when Xu Yunyi and the two girls suddenly called out three forms of address in her direction, their voices full of delight.

Huh?

Calling me Daddy and brother-in-law?

Wait!

Could someone be behind me?!

Impossible!

I'm a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert, and I have powerful formations to warn me. There's no way anyone could silently appear behind me!

"Who are you?"

Before Luo Danhong could finish preparing herself mentally, she suddenly heard a man's full, resonant voice behind her.

It gave her quite a fright.

No!

What's going on?!

Luo Danhong spun around as fast as she could. Formation light flashed wildly around her once more, and a multitude of formations enveloped her as she brought her defenses to their limit.

Only after she saw Lu Qing'an and sensed no killing intent from him did she breathe a sigh of relief.

But after staring at him for a moment, her expression abruptly changed.

Wait!

Why does he look a little like the figure from just now...

She quickly turned to look at the black shield of light. In an instant, it was as if an electric current had passed through her head, and everything fell into place.

Gulp!

She swallowed hard.

Who on earth is this man!

How can he be so terrifying!!

When did the Demon Domain gain such a terrifying person?!!

"I asked you a question. Who are you?" Lu Qing'an asked, his face cold.

By now, he had discovered that someone had touched the black shield of light he had placed here.

It was presumably this woman.

He had caught a fleeting glimpse of this woman earlier, and her skill with formations was formidable. But if she had made a move against his people, there was no need for her to go on living.

At the moment, however, he sensed no hostility from her.

That was one reason he hadn't killed her outright.

The second was that someone with such skill in formations might have some connection to an old friend of his.

Could she be his old friend's disciple?

"My name is Luo Danhong..."

Under Lu Qing'an's scrutinizing gaze, Luo Danhong didn't know why, but she found her soul trembling slightly!

It was as though a primordial beast had fixed its gaze on her!

Without realizing it, she answered Lu Qing'an's question!

"What did you do to the Demonic Qi Shield I placed here? Were you trying to destroy it?"

A Demonic Qi Shield?

Impossible!

How could this be a low-level spell like the Demonic Qi Shield!

Could a low-level spell be this terrifying?!

No!

If the person who cast it was terrifyingly powerful, then it was possible!

Remembering what she had seen deep below earlier, she swallowed again, then hurriedly said, "No, I was just curious what it was, so I touched it lightly! If you don't believe me, you can ask them!"

As she spoke, she didn't know why, but her manner of speaking actually grew respectful.

Lu Qing'an looked at his two daughters, and only when he saw Lu Zixuan nod slightly did he withdraw that oppressive presence.

Now that he had drawn out so much cultivation to use, his oppressive presence alone was enough to frighten a weak person unconscious.

"Did she say anything to you?"

Lu Qing'an paid Luo Danhong no further attention. He flew into the black shield of light and stood before his two daughters.

"Brother-in-law, she was mostly talking to me just now," Xu Yunyi hurriedly said.

Lu Qing'an turned to Xu Yunyi and asked, "What did she say?"
