Luoshen Palace, Immortal Realm.
"Dad, I'm back!"
Before she even appeared, Luo Ruxin's voice echoed through the main hall of Luoshen Palace.
When Luo Ruxin flew into the hall, she saw that it was already filled with people.
Her father, the Luoshen Palace Master, sat in the center of the hall. On one side, all the direct and collateral elders of Luoshen Palace had gathered.
On the other side were several mysterious guests with arrogant expressions and imposing auras.
Luo Ruxin recognized some of them; they were the very people who had taken her sister, Luo Ruying, away a long time ago!
These people, one couldn't tell which power in the Immortal Realm they belonged to, but one thing was certain: the power behind them was terrifying!
They were existences that her Luoshen Palace absolutely could not afford to offend!
Luo Ruxin hated these people from the bottom of her heart.
Not only had they taken away her beloved elder sister for hundreds of years, but their condescending, arrogant attitude was also particularly detestable!
Luo Tianya frowned slightly when he saw Luo Ruxin return at this moment.
The matter of him sending her down to the mortal realm to find Luo Ruying absolutely could not be known by these people…
"Ruxin! You have no sense of decorum, what is the meaning of this!"
"Can't you see that the Luoshen Palace has important guests, and you're still causing a ruckus!"
"Get out quickly!"
Luo Tianya roared at Luo Ruxin in a stern voice, remaining perfectly calm.
"Yes, Father…"
A single glance was enough for the father and daughter to understand each other. Luo Ruxin immediately turned to leave.
But at that moment, one of the men sitting to the side suddenly called out, "Wait!"
Luo Tianya and Luo Ruxin's hearts leaped into their throats.
The elegant man slowly stood up and walked over to Luo Ruxin, circling her and sizing her up. He then praised,
"That little girl has really blossomed, hasn't she? She's quite graceful and elegant now."
"Her talent might be a bit lacking, but her looks are certainly on par with, if not better than, your eldest daughter."
"Lord Luo, you are truly blessed."
"Thank you for the compliment, Immortal Venerable Tianming."
Luo Tianya replied with a polite smile, though he was far from pleased.
Dao Tianming's eyes hadn't left Luo Ruxin since he started praising her. Luo Tianya was worried this person had designs on his daughter…
But despite his displeasure, as the head of a sect, he couldn't show any sign of dissatisfaction.
Because the other party was likely someone who stood above the nine major powers of the Immortal Realm!
Dao Tianming was said to be just an ordinary attendant in their clan, yet he possessed the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable!
Furthermore, he couldn't see through the cultivation of the few people who followed him, and they were probably not weaker than Dao Tianming!
Such a force was definitely not something his small Luoshen Palace could afford to provoke…
"I wonder where Immortal Maiden Luo has been?"
Dao Tianming smiled and asked Luo Ruxin.
"I went on a long journey, touring the various Immortal Realms in the Immortal World, admiring the beautiful scenery."
Luo Ruxin said calmly.
In her heart, she was extremely disgusted by Dao Tianming.
This guy isn't even as good-looking as the barbecue stall owner in the mortal realm, not even his demeanor!
Yet he dares to size her up with that kind of gaze, like he's examining merchandise!
Now he wants to probe her whereabouts, probably to find her sister!
Not a chance!
Luo Tianya also quickly chimed in, echoing:
"Immortal Venerable, please excuse my daughter. She's always been so mischievous and playful, unlearned and unskilled, often neglecting her cultivation."
"She ran off again while I wasn't looking."
With that, Luo Tianya shouted at Luo Ruxin again:
"Ruxin! Hurry up and go cultivate properly!"
"Look at your current cultivation! You've fallen behind so much!"
"Yes, Father..." Luo Ruxin looked 'aggrieved' and silently turned to walk out of the hall.
Another man, who had been silently sipping tea on the side, gave a meaningful glance at Luo Ruxin as she left.
With a slight flick of his fingers, a strand of Luo Ruxin's silver hair silently drifted and landed in his hand...
Dao Tianming didn't call out to Luo Ruxin either, and silently turned back to his seat.
"Palace Master Luo, let's continue then."
"Your daughter, Luo Ruying, has a talent far surpassing others, which pleases my Dao Immortal Clan..."
"The Dao Immortal Clan placed high hopes on her, cultivating her with all their might!"
"They were grooming her to become the Luoshen Immortal Emperor, a ruler of a region!"
"Yet, she showed no gratitude. Instead, she injured several elders of our clan and fled to the lower realm, vanishing without a trace!"
"What do you propose we do about this?"
Dao Tianming frowned, applying pressure on Luo Tianya. The aura of an Immortal Venerable surged from him, making the elders of the Luoshen Palace on the other side scarcely dare to breathe.
Before Luo Tianya could speak, the Luo clan elders, already terrified, rushed to condemn her:
"Such a thing happened?!"
"Esteemed elders, please calm yourselves. This is a fault of our Luoshen Palace. It was from our ranks that Luo Ruying, that ingrate, emerged!"
"Luoshen Palace will do its utmost to compensate for the losses of all the esteemed elders!"
"To be under the command of all of you is truly an honor. That girl Ruying really doesn't know what's good for her!"
Watching the elders of the Luo family constantly berating Luo Ruying, even Luo Tianya, who was usually very patient, couldn't help but furrow his brows, his face filled with disappointment.
If they were just pretending, it might be bearable, but they weren't...
He had once heard that a mysterious power had sent a large amount of resources to take Luo Ruying away, and they were all overjoyed, congratulating him.
They said that with Ruying, it was a blessing from the heavens for their Luo family, allowing them to bask in reflected glory.
Now, upon hearing that they had offended the Dao Immortal Clan, they could actually say such things in order to protect themselves...
It's no wonder the Luoshen family is declining...
Luo Tianya felt incredibly disappointed and furious with the elders of the Luo family, his heart filled with sorrow.
"Palace Master Luo, what do you think?"
Dao Tianming, having listened to the words of the Luo family elders, wore a satisfied smile. He turned to Luo Tianya, the true decision-maker, expecting his stance.
Without hesitation, Luo Tianya rose and bowed to Dao Tianming, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Esteemed elders, it is indeed my fault, Luo Tianya's, for failing in the upbringing of my daughter, allowing her to commit such a disrespectful act!"
"Luoshen Palace will undoubtedly exert all its efforts to search for her!"
"Once we have news or capture her, we will hand her over to you for your judgment!"
"Hmph! Very well!"
"I hope the Luoshen Palace keeps its word!"
"If you dare to deceive us…!"
"Hmph, you in the Luoshen Palace know the consequences…!"
Dao Tianming warned Luo Tianya coldly. Then, everyone stood up together and silently left the Luoshen Palace.
"Oh no! This is terrible!"
"How could Ruying, that girl, do such a thing!"
"Isn't this trying to kill us, the Luo family!"
"Last time, she provoked the Demon Venerable to come to the Immortal Realm to find someone, and this time she's provoked the Dao Immortal Clan!"
"Tianya, you can't favor your daughter at a time like this!"
"That's right! If there's any news, catch her and hand her over quickly!"
As Dao Tianming and the others left, the elders of the Luo family, with long faces, began to criticize Luo Ruying.
Luo Tianya suppressed the anger in his heart and roared at the crowd:
"Enough!"
"Get out, all of you!"
He, Luo Tianya, wouldn't protect his daughter? Was he supposed to protect this bunch of people instead?!
Besides, no one knew his daughter better than he did.
Ruying is definitely not the type to be ungrateful!
There must be something else going on!
Combining this with the Demon Venerable's late-night visit last time, when he said his daughter was being hunted, he knew the situation was far from simple.
No matter what, he would never hand over his daughter!
It's just that he didn't understand, what exactly was the relationship between the Demon Venerable and his daughter...?
