Earlier, in the Heavenfall Demon Cavern, Xu Yunyi really hadn't known what to choose. She'd been given too little time to make a decision on the spot, so she'd said she wanted to ask her family back in the Immortal Ruins.

On the way back, and just now, especially after Lu Miaomiao gave her that weapon, she had made up her mind.

She wanted to stay here.

First, considering her own circumstances, Lu Qing'an had said he could help her convert her cultivation to that of the Demon Domain without affecting her strength.

And she was certain she could learn a great deal about the Array Dao from Luo Danhong. Her mastery of the Array Dao would definitely improve at a frenzied pace.

Then there were her two nieces, Lu Zixuan and Lu Miaomiao.

They were family too.

She had family here and family there, and her prospects were better here. Why not stay?

So, the moment the voice transmission connected, she began by stating roughly what she had in mind.

But after she said it, she realized her sister had suddenly gone silent.

"Sis, can you hear me?"

Xu Yunyi knew her sister's mind must be in complete turmoil right now.

Xu Qingying took a deep breath. As she hurriedly sent a voice transmission to her younger brother, Xu Xuanyu, she replied, "Did something happen to you over there? You haven't run into danger, have you?"

She had suddenly said she wasn't coming back and wanted to stay there long-term.

However Xu Qingying looked at it, it sounded as if she had run into some trouble over there but didn't want to tell them for fear they would worry too much.

She was already beginning to regret letting her younger sister go there with him!

He really couldn't protect so many people!

Xu Yunyi hurriedly shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I haven't run into danger. Quite the opposite-I've come across what amounts to an enormous opportunity for me. Sis, not long ago, with brother-in-law's help, I awakened the Innate Array Physique!"

"Innate Array Physique?!" Just as Xu Qingying heard this, her younger brother Xu Xuanyu arrived with Lu Zhengran.

Xu Xuanyu was stunned too when he heard that his second sister had awakened the Innate Array Physique.

Wasn't that a physique that existed only in legends?!

"Are you sure?" Xu Qingying asked.

"I'm sure. And an extremely powerful array expert here in the Demon Domain saw that I had this physique and wanted to take me as her disciple. She's incredibly skilled in the Array Dao-more than hundreds or even thousands of times better than me. And as it happens, she's also the senior sister of a powerful expert brother-in-law knows here," Xu Yunyi said.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me? Why does it all sound like too much of a coincidence? She just happens to be the senior sister of a friend of his?" Xu Qingying frowned deeply.

"Second sister! You haven't been tricked, have you? Are you sure it's all true?" Xu Xuanyu frowned deeply. He had hurried over because his eldest sister had told him that their second sister actually wanted to live in the Demon Domain long-term!

Hearing this, he felt it was all a trap woven by that fellow Lu Qing'an!

Xu Yunyi said, "Brother-in-law isn't that kind of person. Sis, you should know his character even better than I do. Besides, it's only natural that this array master knows him... because his identity is very unusual. I only found out myself not long ago..."

At that point, she smiled wryly.

Who could have imagined that her brother-in-law was actually the renowned Eternal Night Demon Emperor of the Demon Domain?!

No wonder he knew so many of the Demon Domain's top experts!

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor was known to everyone in the Demon Domain and was also immensely famous in the Immortal Ruins!

Only by cultivating the Emperor Position her sister possessed to its utmost could she rival the Eternal Night Emperor Position.

In other words, the realm her sister aspired to reach was one her brother-in-law had already attained...

She could hardly bear to tell her sister.

"What identity could he possibly have? Isn't he just a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert from the Demon Domain? Our sister will definitely be stronger than him one day! She'll become the strongest person in the Immortal Ruins, someone who stands shoulder to shoulder with the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, the strongest in the Demon Domain!" Xu Xuanyu said.

Xu Yunyi had extremely mixed feelings when she heard her younger brother say that.

She wondered whether she should tell them.

But in the end, she couldn't bear to.

Blood was thicker than water.

She didn't want to affect her sister's Dao heart...

Whether her sister would learn everything through some other means one day would be up to fate...

"Anyway, brother-in-law is very famous and powerful here, and many people show him respect. He knows almost all the top experts in the Demon Domain," Xu Yunyi said.

"All right, even if everything you say is true, what about all your Immortal Ruins cultivation while you're over there? If you study arrays under a top Demon Domain array master, are you sure you can really understand what you learn? The cultivation systems on the two sides are somewhat different to begin with. That will have a huge impact."

Xu Qingying understood perfectly well that there were differences between people from the two sides. Her younger sister relied on absorbing Spiritual Qi to set up arrays, but there was no Spiritual Qi at all over there. Absorbing it from spirit stones would also be extremely troublesome.

"So brother-in-law is going to help me convert my Immortal Ruins cultivation to the Demon Domain's cultivation," Xu Yunyi said.

"Bullshit! Second sister! You're not usually this stupid! You actually believe that crap he told you?!" Hearing this, Xu Xuanyu was convinced his second sister had been tricked by Lu Qing'an.

Any normal person knew that Immortal Ruins cultivation couldn't possibly be converted into Demon Domain cultivation. Even if someone had means that reached the heavens and could do it, surely they could only convert the cultivation of someone at a low realm!

How could he convert his second sister's Saint King Realm cultivation?!

By giving up his life to do it?!

Xu Yunyi, however, trusted Lu Qing'an completely.

Her niece had already successfully converted hers.

"Brother-in-law should be capable of it..." Xu Yunyi said.

"No, wait! Second sister! Did that fellow feed you some kind of bewitching soup?! Why do you trust him so much?!"

Xu Xuanyu's scalp went numb.

Why did it feel as if his second sister had become a completely different person after one trip over there?!

"Don't talk about brother-in-law like that! Sis and I both know perfectly well what kind of person he is! I trust him completely!"

Hearing her younger brother still talking like that, Xu Yunyi grew somewhat angry too.

Her brother-in-law was so powerful, his strength reached the heavens, and he was such a good person too!

Why did this brat slander him day after day?!

If Xu Xuanyu had been beside her right now, she would have slapped his head to pieces!

After that scolding from Xu Yunyi, Xu Xuanyu felt aggrieved.

"Eldest sister! Just look at second sister! Why won't she trust her own flesh-and-blood younger brother?! She insists on trusting someone with a different surname instead! I'm doing all this for her own good!"

Xu Qingying frowned deeply.

After spending more than a thousand years with Lu Qing'an, she had indeed felt she knew him well. But after everything that had happened, she had begun to doubt whether she really knew him at all.

He had kept too many things from her.

"Yunyi, don't rush into a decision. Think it over carefully and consider whether all of this makes sense. You're over there now, and none of us really knows your situation. Only you can judge for yourself."

Xu Qingying calmed down and gave Xu Yunyi this earnest advice.

Xu Yunyi replied, "Sis, I know perfectly well what I'm experiencing. This may be the greatest opportunity of my life!"

"All right, let's set this aside for now. Think it over carefully for another day, and we'll talk by voice transmission again tomorrow!"

Xu Qingying felt she needed to put a pause to the matter first.

She needed to send He Hong a voice transmission too and question him closely!
