An Unusual Father

On a street in Demon Descent City.

Lu Zixuan walked beside Lu Qing'an, gazing at the streets of the Demon Domain, her delicate little face full of surprise.

"Father, cities in the Demon Domain aren't what I imagined! I thought they'd be chaotic, with people fighting and killing everywhere!"

Lu Qing'an said, "Actually, cities in the Demon Domain aren't much different from those in the Immortal Ruins. It's just that the cultivation system here is somewhat different. When people absorb Demonic Qi to cultivate, a moment of carelessness can easily cause Qi Deviation and give rise to inner demons, so the people here are a little more combative than those in the Immortal Ruins."

There were just a few more fights.

"I see."

Like a country bumpkin visiting the city, Lu Zixuan looked this way and that.

Lu Miaomiao, meanwhile, was beside herself with excitement. As soon as she entered the city, she'd seen all sorts of little shops selling things she'd never even seen before.

"Daddy! Can you eat that?"

"Yes. Daddy will buy it for you."

"What about that?"

"That's a toy. Daddy will buy it for you too."

He had to spoil his youngest daughter to his heart's content now.

He did his best to keep her from thinking about what had happened not long ago.

He took the children shopping as he headed toward the city lord's mansion.

Eventually, they stopped.

"Father, someone's fighting!" Lu Zixuan had never seen people from the Demon Domain fight, and she was very curious.

Lu Qing'an saw what was happening over there too. High in the sky, five men with lecherous grins were attacking a woman in a red dress.

The woman looked about sixteen or seventeen. Her red dress was like fire, setting off skin whiter than snow.

Her figure was exceptionally voluptuous, with a waist as slender as a willow and graceful, alluring curves.

As her skirt fluttered, her long, fair legs appeared and disappeared from view, and every step carried its own charm.

She had bright eyes, white teeth, and black hair that fell like a waterfall. Every glance was full of youthful vigor and lively beauty.

"Big brother! We have to take this little wench down! We'll all have some fun tonight!"

"Fun is a small matter! What matters is what she's carrying! Still, this little wench really is a beauty!"

The five communicated through their thoughts.

"Father, do those five seem to have their eyes on that beauty's body?"

Seeing a woman about her own age surrounded by a group of men and at a disadvantage, Lu Zixuan frowned.

"They became enemies because of something she has, but she's beautiful, so they have other wicked thoughts too."

Lu Qing'an remained perfectly calm. Using a powerful Devil Cultivation Method, he had already intercepted the men's conversation.

"What, do you want to help her?"

Looking at his daughter, Lu Qing'an could clearly sense her desire for justice.

A normal father would certainly teach his daughter not to meddle in other people's business.

But he was different.

He knew his daughter's situation well: she was a fighting genius, and those people's cultivation was about the same as hers. Letting these small fry hone her skills was a good choice too.

It would also help his daughter become accustomed to fighting in the Demon Domain sooner.

The people of the Demon Domain fought somewhat differently from those in the Immortal Ruins.

People here knew all sorts of strange Devil Cultivation Methods.

For example, Devil Cultivation Methods that attacked the heart.

Devil Cultivation Methods that attacked the mind, and so on.

"Um, maybe I shouldn't meddle?"

Lu Zixuan thought it over and decided she shouldn't cause trouble for her father.

Lu Qing'an smiled. "What trouble? With Daddy here to back you up, even trouble as big as the heavens is no trouble at all."

"But all my cultivation comes from the Immortal Ruins. If I make a move, won't I draw a lot of people from the Demon Domain to attack me?" Lu Zixuan asked.

Lu Qing'an's expression remained calm. "However many come, Daddy will wipe them all out. Do as you see fit. You don't need to worry about any trouble."

Even after hearing that, Lu Zixuan still hesitated.

Only when she saw a sixth person suddenly emerge from the void and successfully launch a sneak attack on the woman in the sky did she narrow her eyes and make up her mind.

It was bad enough that five villains were bullying one woman, but someone had actually been hiding in the shadows all along, waiting to launch a sneak attack!

"Father, I'm going!"

"All right. Give your new weapon a good try."

Lu Zixuan nodded, and with a flash, she soared into the sky.

The Demon Domain and the Immortal Ruins shared the same ten cultivation realms.

They were the Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Spirit Transformation Realm, Body Integration Realm, Mahayana Realm, Tribulation Transcendence Realm, Saint King Realm, and Great Emperor Realm.

Lu Zixuan was exceptionally gifted. Though young, she had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.

With her newly acquired divine weapon in hand, she charged into the sky.

The woman in red had been slightly injured by the sneak attack and was about to face a follow-up assault from the others when Lu Zixuan attacked them from behind.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm here to help you!"

Spiritual Qi enveloped her, and it swirled around the divine sword in her hand as well.

She slashed, sword light flashed, and one man was cut into two perfectly symmetrical halves.

Seeing how sharp her attack was and how decisively she killed, Lu Qing'an nodded in satisfaction.

She had his style.

Then he glanced at his youngest daughter.

He was even happier when he saw that she was watching with great interest, not frightened in the least and not even finding the scene bloody.

She truly was his daughter.

A tiger father had no dog daughters.

Lu Zixuan's sudden attack startled the five remaining men from the Demon Domain.

They froze in particular when they saw the sword in her hand.

"That looks like a peerless tenth-grade sword!"

"Damn it! Are they together?!"

"No! This little wench isn't using Demonic Qi, but Spiritual Qi! She's from the Immortal Ruins!!"

The woman in red was astonished when Lu Zixuan charged in and gave her a hand.

But when she saw the weapon in Lu Zixuan's hand and the Spiritual Qi around her, she was even more surprised.

She's from the Immortal Ruins?!

This is bad!

For someone from the Immortal Ruins to save her was really no different from harming her.

Was there really no choice but to go that far?

Once Lu Zixuan made her move, she held nothing back and charged at the remaining men from the Demon Domain.

After striking just once, she had already felt how formidable the divine weapon was.

It had increased her strength by more than a hundredfold!

Seeing Lu Zixuan charge at them, the five men quickly switched targets and joined forces against her.

Together, the five barely managed to block Lu Zixuan's second strike.

But in less than a breath, they discovered that Lu Zixuan was growing stronger as the fight went on.

It was as though something had been restricting her before, and that restriction was now gradually diminishing.

"No! If we keep fighting, we'll all die!"

"Run?!"

"No need to run! She's from the Immortal Ruins! Call for help!"

The five quickly looked at the people of the Demon Domain watching around them.

"Fellow Daoists! This person from the Immortal Ruins came to our Demon Domain and actually killed one of our people, and she has such a treasure! Let's join forces and kill her! The treasure will go to whoever is fated to have it!"

As soon as he said that, some people were swept up by desire and charged straight out.

"This sword is mine!"

"Get lost! It's mine!"

Lu Zixuan's expression changed when she saw a group charging at her in an instant.

But when she saw that their cultivation was about the same as hers, she felt a little more at ease.

"Father, I can still handle them!"

Hearing his daughter, Lu Qing'an nodded.

As long as they were in the Spirit Transformation Realm, he didn't stop them.

And so, Lu Zixuan began a fierce battle against the group.

The woman in red had become like a spectator; no one was paying her any attention anymore.

She watched Lu Zixuan being attacked by the group, deeply conflicted.

After all, Lu Zixuan had ended up in this predicament because of her.

It would be somewhat dishonorable for her to turn and leave now.

But seeing more and more people of the same realm charge at Lu Zixuan, with ten soon attacking her together, she gritted her teeth and made a decision.

"Fellow Daoist, let's join forces!"

The woman in red charged over.

Lu Qing'an glanced at her and nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad. She had some sense of honor.

She hadn't turned and left.

As he watched the woman in red for a moment, he suddenly noticed a familiar presence about her.

"Wait, there's a hint of someone I know about this girl..."

Not long after the woman in red joined the battle, an elderly man's sinister voice rang out.

"Someone from the Immortal Ruins! A tenth-grade sword! I never expected this old man to have such a fortuitous encounter on this trip! Heh heh! Little girl! Hand over this old man's treasured weapon!"

As soon as the voice rang out, everyone present quickly stopped fighting.

"This is bad! It's a Saint King Realm expert!!"

The group who had surrounded Lu Zixuan, hoping to seize the treasure, were all shocked.

With an expert like that here, the treasured weapon was no longer theirs to claim!

However, shortly after they saw an elderly man as thin as a stick appear in the air, he suddenly looked in one direction, as though something had startled him.

The moment his eyes met Lu Qing'an's, his scrawny body began to tremble violently.

"Great Emperor Realm... This junior failed to recognize you! Please, senior, carry on! This junior will leave at once!!!"
