“Master, you dispelled the thunder tribulation!!”
Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin stared at Mark Gu in shock, their faces pale with fear.
When did Master become so fierce?
Mark Gu snapped back to his senses, his old face turning red. He coughed dryly, “You two brats, how dare you make fun of your Master! Didn’t you hear me mention the gentleman’s name just now?!”
“Oh, so it was the gentleman. No wonder. Master, you really scared me and Junior Brother Leonard just now.”
Christopher and Leonard nodded in understanding. It seemed their hopes of Master becoming a dragon were dashed.
“Junior Brother Andrew, let’s go.”
With that, Christopher and Leonard grabbed the bewildered Andrew Chen and flew off.
Mark Gu’s mouth twitched slightly.
These two brats must have some rebellious bones…
………
Southern Immortal Realm, Whirlwind Immortal Continent, Langtian Domain.
In the Chu Immortal Clan, Chu Lang had intended to host a banquet but was declined by Ambrose Lu.
He personally escorted Ambrose to the clan’s most prosperous guest courtyard before leaving.
In the main hall.
“Elders, you may all go and rest now. You’ve worked hard today,” Chu Lang said with a smile.
“Yes, Clan Leader, we will take our leave.”
The elders bowed and left the hall. Seeing this, Chu Xiruo also followed suit.
“Xiruo, stay,” Chu Lang suddenly said.
Chu Xiruo paused, turned back, and bowed, “Father, what do you need from me?”
Chu Lang nodded with satisfaction. After the events in Sand City, this girl finally started calling him father.
It seemed that the destruction of Tianheng Grand Sect by Senior Cyan Cloth was indeed a good thing.
“Xiruo, you and Nathan Zhang knew long ago that Tianheng Grand Sect was destroyed by the senior, didn’t you?” Chu Lang asked, his eyes flickering.
Chu Xiruo’s eyes flashed. She knew that after the appearance of the Immortal Emperor of Longevity in Sand City, her and Nathan Zhang’s behavior had been too strange. Anyone with a keen mind could figure out some clues.
She replied in a low voice, “Yes, so Father, are you blaming me for hiding the truth from the family even when we were on the brink of life and death?”
Chu Lang hesitated, then waved his hand, “There must be a reason for everything. I don’t blame you. Today, I just want to ask one question: why?”
Chu Xiruo lowered her head in silence.
Chu Lang did not rush her, simply watching quietly.
Soon, Chu Xiruo raised her head, a trace of reverence flashing in her eyes, and said,
“Father, I can only tell you one thing.”
“The senior… in the Immortal Realm, he can turn clouds into rain with a flip of his hand.”
Chu Lang’s pupils contracted, and he stood up abruptly, exclaiming, “Could the senior be a Chaos Immortal Lord?!”
Chu Xiruo pressed her lips together and did not answer.
She didn’t blame Chu Lang. The Chu Immortal Clan was in the remote Langtian Domain, where there wasn’t even a Great Principal Golden Immortal, let alone a Chaos Immortal Lord.
So, a Chaos Immortal Lord was the limit of what Chu Lang could imagine…
Living in a remote place, one’s vision is limited. There was no way around it.
Chu Xiruo asked herself, if she were in his shoes and didn’t know the truth, she might at most think of a Chaos Immortal Lord. She wouldn’t dare think of an Immortal King, let alone associate the senior with an Immortal Emperor… especially the Immortal Emperor of Longevity who had disappeared from the Central Immortal Realm for millions of years.
“Ah! Xiruo, in the eyes of the senior, I must seem like an ill-mannered person. What should I do?!”
At this moment, Chu Lang’s face was full of worry as he paced back and forth, clenching his fists. It was clear he was quite uneasy.
“Wh-what’s wrong?” Chu Xiruo was a bit confused.
Chu Lang stopped, his voice bitter, “I finally understand why you didn’t reveal the truth earlier. As you said, a Chaos Immortal Lord is someone who can turn clouds into rain with a flip of his hand. You were right not to speak out.”
“It’s just… was I not respectful enough to the senior during the day? I’m a bit scared now. No wonder, no wonder the senior refused the banquet I prepared. He must have been displeased! It’s over, it’s over…”
Chu Lang stumbled and fell into his seat, his face pale.
A Chaos Immortal Lord was not someone he could afford to offend. If the senior was unhappy, a single thought could shatter the Chu Immortal Clan.
A Chaos Immortal Lord, after all, was a Chaos Immortal Lord!!
Chu Xiruo: “…”
Chu Xiruo was speechless. She hadn’t expected her father to be so dramatic.
She suspected that if he knew the true identity of the so-called ‘Chaos Immortal Lord,’ he might just die of fright.
“Father, you’re overthinking it. With the senior’s status, he wouldn’t bother with a small figure like you,” Chu Xiruo reassured him.
She suddenly thought of Old Turtle and added, “However, the senior’s old servant, Old Turtle, might take offense. As the senior’s servant, his strength must be formidable. Father, you should be careful around him.”
To become the servant of the Immortal Emperor of Longevity, could he be simple?
Chu Xiruo could figure that out without much thought.
Seeing Chu Lang in a daze, Chu Xiruo didn’t bother him further and left the hall.
Before leaving, she said meaningfully, “The senior seems to enjoy drinking.”
Chu Lang snapped out of his daze, shaking his head.
“Ah, the Inspection Hall will surely come again. With a Chaos Immortal Lord like the senior around, there’s nothing to fear. I must find a way to curry favor with him.”
Loving wine, that’s good.
He had stored quite a bit of fine wine, usually reluctant to drink it. Now it could finally come in handy.
Although it pained him, compared to the safety of the clan, the wine was nothing!
Wait, Xiruo mentioned that the senior’s servant might be petty, but she didn’t say what the servant liked. This is tricky.
Wine and women, could it be that the other one likes women?
………
In the void,
“Lord Tianyuan, ahead is Langtian Domain. However, due to its remoteness, the teleportation array hasn’t been constructed here. We’ll have to proceed on our own from here,” the inspector said, bowing behind Zhao Tianyuan.
Zhao Tianyuan’s face was expressionless, his eyes fixed on the direction of Langtian Domain. Although they were almost there, he was already impatient!
“When we reach Langtian Domain, you two quickly gather information. Once you find the culprit, report to me immediately,” Zhao Tianyuan said calmly.
“Yes,” the two inspectors bowed in response.
“One more thing,” Zhao Tianyuan closed his eyes, a look of sorrow appearing on his face, “You must find Ling’er’s body and bring it to me intact. Once this is done, I will take her remains back to show my father one last time… If you can’t bring her back, don’t bother returning yourselves.”
“Rest assured, Lord Tianyuan!” The two inspectors exchanged a determined look.
Finding a body should be easy.
“Good.” Zhao Tianyuan nodded, a ruthless killing intent flashing in his eyes, and he growled,
“Go! The one who killed Ling’er, I will tear them to pieces, scatter their soul, and ensure they never reincarnate!!”
