Chapter 112 - The Relationship Between the Demon Lord and His Daughter?
Heavenly Realm, Luo Shen Palace
"Father, I'm back~"
Luo Ruxin's voice echoed through the main hall of the Luo Shen Palace before she even appeared.
When Luo Ruxin flew into the hall, she found it already filled with people.
Her father, the Lord of the Luo Shen Palace, sat in the center, while all the direct and collateral elders of the Luo Shen Palace were gathered on one side.
On the other side were several mysterious guests with proud expressions and imposing auras.
Luo Ruxin remembered a few of them; they were the ones who had taken her sister, Luo Ruying, away many years ago!
She didn't know which power in the Heavenly Realm these people belonged to, but one thing was certain: the power behind them was terrifying!
It was an existence that their Luo Shen Palace absolutely could not afford to offend!
Luo Ruxin disliked these people from the bottom of her heart.
Not only had they taken her beloved sister away for hundreds of years, but their arrogant and condescending attitude was also particularly repulsive!
Luo Tianya couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw Luo Ruxin return at this particular moment.
He absolutely couldn't let these people know that he had sent her to the lower realm to find Luo Ruying...
"Ruxin! You're so disrespectful, how can you behave like this!"
"Can't you see that we have distinguished guests in the Luo Shen Palace? Stop fooling around!"
"Get out now!"
Luo Tianya sternly rebuked Luo Ruxin without revealing his true emotions.
"Yes, Father..."
With just a glance between father and daughter, Luo Ruxin understood Luo Tianya's meaning and quickly turned to leave.
But at that moment, one of the men sitting on the side suddenly spoke up:
"Wait a minute!"
The hearts of both Luo Tianya and Luo Ruxin leaped to their throats.
The elegant man slowly rose and walked towards Luo Ruxin, circling her as he observed her with admiration.
"The once little girl has grown into a graceful and charming young woman."
"Though her talent might be slightly lacking, her beauty is certainly not inferior to your eldest daughter's."
"Palace Lord Luo, you are truly blessed."
"Thank you for your kind words, Heavenly Clarity Immortal Venerable."
Luo Tianya replied politely with a smile, but inwardly, he was quite displeased.
Dao Tianming's gaze hadn't left Luo Ruxin's body since he started praising her, and Luo Tianya was worried that he might be harboring intentions towards his daughter...
However, even though he was displeased, as the head of a sect, he couldn't show any dissatisfaction.
Because the other party was very likely an existence above the nine major powers of the Heavenly Realm!
Dao Tianming was said to be just an ordinary steward in their family, yet he possessed the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable!
The cultivation realms of the others who came with him were also unfathomable to Luo Tianya, and they were probably no weaker than Dao Tianming!
Such a power was definitely not something his small Luo Divine Palace could afford to provoke...
"May I ask where Fairy Luo has returned from?"
Dao Tianming asked Luo Ruxin with a smile.
"I went on a long journey, traveling through various regions of the Heavenly Realm, enjoying the beautiful scenery."
Luo Ruxin replied calmly.
In her heart, she felt extreme disgust towards Dao Tianming.
This guy wasn't even as handsome as the barbecue stall owner in the mortal realm, and even his temperament was inferior!
Yet he dared to look at her with such a gaze, as if she were a commodity!
Now he wanted to probe into her whereabouts, probably to find her sister!
In your dreams!
Luo Tianya quickly chimed in, taking advantage of the situation,
"Please forgive my daughter's behavior, Heavenly Clarity Immortal Venerable. She has always been mischievous and playful, neglecting her cultivation."
"She sneaked out again while I wasn't paying attention."
After saying this, Luo Tianya once again roared at Luo Ruxin,
"Ruxin! Go and cultivate diligently!"
"Look at your current cultivation level! You've fallen so far behind others!"
"Yes, Father..."
Luo Ruxin feigned a look of 'grievance' and silently turned to leave the hall.
Another man, who had been quietly sipping tea on the side, cast a meaningful glance at Luo Ruxin as she departed.
With a subtle flick of his finger, a strand of Luo Ruxin's silvery hair silently floated into his hand...
Dao Tianming didn't stop Luo Ruxin again and silently returned to his seat.
"Palace Lord Luo, let's continue our discussion."
"Your daughter, Luo Ruying, possesses extraordinary talent, and my Dao Immortal Clan is very satisfied..."
"My Dao Immortal Clan has high hopes for her and has spared no effort in nurturing her!"
"We intend to cultivate her into a Luo Immortal Emperor who can safeguard a region!"
"However, she doesn't appreciate our kindness. Instead, she injured several elders of my clan and fled to the lower realm, disappearing without a trace!"
"What do you think should be done about this?"
Dao Tianming frowned and pressured Luo Tianya, his Immortal Venerable aura surging forth, causing the elders of the Luo Shen Palace on the other side to hold their breaths in fear.
Before Luo Tianya could speak, the Luo Clan elders, who had already been scared out of their wits, rushed to denounce Luo Ruying.
"Such a thing happened?!"
"Esteemed guests, please calm your anger. This is the fault of our Luo Shen Palace for producing such an ungrateful wretch like Luo Ruying!"
"Our Luo Shen Palace will do our utmost to compensate for your losses!"
"It is an immense honor to be under your tutelage. That girl Ruying truly doesn't know what's good for her!"
Watching the Luo Clan elders berate Luo Ruying one after another, Luo Tianya, despite his patience, couldn't help but frown deeply, his face filled with disappointment.
If they were pretending to do this deliberately, it would be one thing, but they weren't...
He remembered when they heard that a mysterious power had sent vast resources to take Luo Ruying away, they were all overjoyed, congratulating him.
They said that having Ruying was a blessing from the heavens for the Luo family, allowing them to bask in her glory.
Now, upon hearing that they had offended the Dao Immortal Clan, they could say such things just to protect themselves...
It was no wonder the Luo Shen Palace was declining...
Luo Tianya felt immense disappointment and anger towards the Luo Clan elders, his heart filled with sorrow.
"Palace Lord Luo, what are your thoughts?"
Dao Tianming, pleased with the words of the Luo Clan elders, smiled and looked at Luo Tianya, the true decision-maker, waiting for his response.
Without hesitation, Luo Tianya stood up and bowed to Dao Tianming, saying,
"Esteemed guests, this is indeed my negligence in raising my daughter, allowing her to commit such disrespectful acts!"
"My Luo Shen Palace will do its utmost to apprehend her!"
"Once we have any news or capture her, we will definitely hand her over to you for punishment!"
"Hmph! Very well!"
"I hope your Luo Shen Palace will keep its word!"
"If you dare to deceive us...!"
"Hmph, your Luo Shen Palace knows the consequences...!"
Dao Tianming warned Luo Tianya with a cold tone, then they all stood up and silently left the Luo Divine Palace.
"Oh no! We're doomed!"
"How could that girl Ruying do such a thing!"
"Isn't she trying to destroy our Luo family!"
"Last time she provoked the Demon Lord, causing him to come to the Heavenly Realm looking for her, and now she's offended the Dao Immortal Clan!"
"Tianya, you can't be biased towards your daughter at a time like this!"
"Yes! If you have any news, capture her and hand her over immediately!"
As soon as Dao Tianming and the others left, the Luo Clan elders, with mournful expressions, started blaming Luo Ruying.
Luo Tianya suppressed his anger and roared at them,
"Enough!"
"All of you, get out!"
If he, Luo Tianya, didn't protect his daughter, who would he protect? These bunch of people?!
Besides, no one knew his daughter better than him.
Ruying was definitely not an ungrateful child!
There must be some hidden reason behind this!
Recalling the Demon Lord's late-night visit last time, saying that his daughter was being hunted, he knew things were definitely not simple.
No matter what, he would never hand over his daughter!
But there was one thing he didn't understand: what exactly was the relationship between the Demon Lord and his daughter…?
