Your Father Has Long Been Invincible

Of everyone present, no one was more shocked by Lu Qing'an's cultivation than Xu Qingying.

Next came Lin Qingxue and Lu Zhengran.

Lin Qingxue looked toward the horizon and gritted her teeth, a trace of displeasure rising in her heart.

"His cultivation is only a little stronger than mine! He really dared to talk so wildly!"

She cursed inwardly.

She had carefully watched the strength Lu Qing'an displayed, and the Devil Race would have its strength restricted here in the Immortal Ruins.

If the two of them fought, who would bring down the deer was still anyone's guess!

She looked at her disciple.

"Qingying! Don't let him sway you! You were right to divorce him! That brat actually came from the Demon Domain! He kept it hidden until now, which shows just how deep his scheming runs!

"Besides, his cultivation isn't all that strong. Once you reach the peak of the Great Emperor Realm, you'll be able to crush him with ease!"

Her disciple had defied the heavens with her talent, leaping straight to the late stage of the Great Emperor Realm the moment she broke through to it.

She didn't dare imagine how strong her disciple would be once she reached the peak!

Xu Qingying nodded.

Her talent was in no way inferior to that so-called strongest Devil Emperor in hundreds of millions of years over in the Demon Domain.

Once she had cultivated further, ordinary peak Great Emperor Realm experts would be no match for her.

Lu Zhengran stared blankly at the horizon.

He had never imagined his father was so strong!

But he soon set his thoughts in order.

Just as Lin Qingxue had said,

his mother's talent was even more terrifying.

His choice hadn't been wrong!

"Sister, let's see which of us becomes stronger!"

His sister had always cultivated diligently since childhood, and their father and mother had often praised her.

Their father had often told him to learn from his sister, too.

But after hearing it so many times, another thought had taken root in his heart instead.

He wanted to surpass his sister!

Even if only once!

Xu Yunyi and Xu Xuanyu were also stunned by the cultivation and strength Lu Qing'an had suddenly revealed.

Especially Xu Xuanyu.

He had always thought his brother-in-law's strength was ordinary, and that he wasn't even as strong as himself.

He had thought his brother-in-law wasn't good enough for his sister.

He had never expected his brother-in-law to be a peak Great Emperor Realm expert!

"So what if his cultivation is at the peak of the Great Emperor Realm? It's no big deal! That's right! My sister holds the Immaculate Emperor Position!"

Xu Xuanyu shook his head, trying to shake the shock from his mind.

He tried hard to make up for his earlier mistake.

As for Xu Yunyi, after watching Lu Qing'an and his two daughters disappear over the horizon, she knitted her delicate brows and looked at her sister.

In the end, all her words came together in a single sigh.

Her brother-in-law was such a good man...

She could understand why Lu Qing'an had concealed his strength and identity in the first place.

If his identity as a Great Emperor expert from the Demon Domain were exposed, the experts of the Immortal Ruins could easily hunt him down.

After all, the Demon Domain and the Immortal Ruins had been as incompatible as fire and water for years.

They had even gone to war once.

They had been at peace for many years now, but they were still hostile toward each other.

As she saw it, the people on both sides simply cultivated under somewhat different systems. They were really no different.

She had seen for herself how good her brother-in-law was to her sister, and how gentle he was with his family.

So what if he was an expert from the Demon Domain?

She could only blame her sister for not cherishing him.

She had let such a good man slip away.

Was strength really so important?

At that thought, Xu Yunyi shook her head again.

For the sake of this family, the man had kept himself hidden for so many years, never once using his true strength.

In his eyes, family mattered more.

Love... mattered more.

"Everyone, please disperse," Xu Qingying said, glancing at everyone present.

She felt utterly exhausted.

Everyone offered their congratulations once more, then cupped their hands and took their leave.

The show was over, and it was time to go.

Before long, all the outsiders had left.

Xu Qingying flew home with her son.

As she looked at the now-empty Lu residence, a sense of loss swept over her.

Her heart felt empty.

"Qingying! Don't dwell on it anymore! Your emperor's breath nearly fell into disorder!"

Lin Qingxue spoke in a low voice, reminding her.

Xu Qingying quickly composed herself and nodded.

She closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, her mind was perfectly clear.

Because she had sealed away her entire past with Lu Qing'an!

Looking at the Lu residence before her, she made a decision.

"Since it's already in the past, there's no need for this place to exist anymore."

She swept her hand, and everything before her turned to dust in the blink of an eye.

It vanished like smoke and scattered clouds, along with her last lingering attachment.

At the border between the Immortal Ruins and the Demon Domain,

a powerful barrier separated the two sides.

On one side, the sky was bright and blue.

On the other, the sky was dim.

Looking back, Lu Qing'an lingered in the air for a long while.

He had lived here for more than a thousand years, and now that he was leaving, he couldn't quite bear to part with it.

"Father! Let's go! Let's go back to your home!"

Lu Zixuan looked earnestly at her father.

She had been stunned to see that her father had peak Great Emperor Realm cultivation.

Now, as she looked at her father, her beautiful eyes were full of stars.

It was as if she were looking at her idol!

Lu Qing'an tried to keep a smile on his face, not wanting to show the children his bad mood.

"Aren't you afraid? That's the Demon Domain. People here in the Immortal Ruins often say it's full of dangers."

Lu Zixuan smiled too. "What's there to be afraid of? With you here, Father, I'm not afraid no matter where we go!"

Lu Qing'an felt a little more warmth in his heart.

He could actually see the nervousness his eldest daughter was hiding beneath the surface.

It seemed she was indeed afraid of all the unknowns as well.

"That's right! Miaomiao isn't afraid either! With Father here, no matter what bad people come, Father can protect us!"

Lu Miaomiao had woken up.

She seemed to have grown up a great deal all at once after what had just happened. She wasn't crying anymore, and she was trying hard to put on a brave face.

Lu Qing'an rubbed both his daughters' heads.

"There's really no need to be afraid, because your father has long been invincible."

"Invincible???"

The two daughters blinked.

They naturally knew what the word "invincible" meant.

But ever since they were little, they had always heard their father and mother say that beyond every person was someone greater, and beyond every heaven was another heaven.

No matter where they were, they mustn't be arrogant or conceited, and had to be careful.

"Father, are you sure you're really invincible? Didn't you teach us that beyond every person is someone greater, and beyond every heaven is another heaven, and that we mustn't be arrogant or conceited?"

Lu Zixuan covered her mouth and smiled.

She knew very well how strong her father was.

With his peak Great Emperor Realm cultivation, only a dozen or so people in the entire Immortal Ruins could rival him.

He must have said he was invincible to ease their nerves.

Lu Qing'an smiled. "You really mustn't be arrogant or conceited, and there really are many people stronger than you. But your father is an exception, because I'm that heaven beyond heaven in everyone's hearts."
