Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 782 - 780 My Father is Invincible
An was greatly shocked. Could such a rumor be believed? What power does not exist? She racked her brains but could not figure it out. Her sister's? Or that old yellow ox's? It couldn't be the Dark Demon's, could it?
But on closer thought, their powers were all products of regular cultivation. While such powers didn't appear in the Netherworld, many in the Human Clan possessed them, so they couldn't be considered "never before seen."
Secondly… she really did come out of the Secret Realm. Only, she was not walking out but kicked out.
Thinking of this, An was shocked again. That ox seemed very powerful, kicking her out of the Secret Realm, far away from that terrifying world. Most importantly, no one had discovered it yet.
The thought that she had been on the verge of finding the passage to leave the Netherworld, only to now be powerless and captured by the people of the Liu Family, caused An's mood to plummet.
"I warn you, don't you dare touch me, otherwise… when my father arrives, he will be very angry. He has a bad temper, and once he makes a move, he could destroy your Liu Family in a matter of minutes and then trample Luo Feng Mountain into dust," An said through gritted teeth, trying to sound brave.
She was born in the Netherworld. From the day of her birth, she started to flee, always on the run, wandering. Therefore, An knew very well that any compromise, even crying or acting pitiful, would not work against enemies who wanted to kill her and her mother. The only thing she had to do was to tell them she was powerful, backed by a strong force, and that her father was nearly invincible, although she still did not know who he was. But she was resolute.
Yes! My father is invincible, invincible against the Human Clan. If he were to appear in the Netherworld, he would surely sweep away everything. HAHAHA…
Liu Weiran looked at her as if she were a fool. "So? Do you know who your father is?"
An was fuming. The reason she was upset was that she did not know; if she did, she would have said his name long ago.
Liu Weiran sneered, "If your father was invincible, he should have been here by now. But unfortunately… he has not appeared. So, your mother has become a sacrifice, a consequence of her own actions."
"You're talking nonsense," An retorted angrily, "my mother did not betray the Netherworld."
"Yes! Maybe the Moon God didn't betray us, but she made two mistakes. She spared that criminal, defying the will of Lord Nether Emperor, and she united with the Human Clan to have you—that's the second thing," Liu Weiran said, staring at her intently. "So? Do you still think your mother is innocent?"
"Nonsense," An snapped angrily. "Who can prove who my mother spared? A criminal? What criminal? And… who my mother has a child with, what's that to you?"
Every time she heard such words, she became uncontrollably angry. A bunch of ignorant people. What era is this? Can't people have children with the Human Clan? Besides, isn't she living just fine right now? There are two completely different powers within her; perhaps she could forge a new path, and that could be considered a benefit to the Netherworld, right? Who decreed that the people of the Netherworld must practice Qi? Ignorance.
Without waiting for Liu Weiran to speak, she continued, "How many people were in the Netherworld before? How many are left now? If we don't seek new changes and reforms, the Netherworld is really going to be doomed."
"Why are you staring at me? Staring is useless…"
"If I were the Nether Emperor, I would boldly open the channel, let the people of the Netherworld intermarry with the Human Clan, desperately have children, and reform the cultivation system."
"Isn't that a good thing?" An said in one breath.
Liu Weiran was left stunned by her words, his mind somewhat unable to catch up. He always felt there was something wrong with these statements, but he couldn't refute them. Who did the Moon God spare? Who is the criminal? Luo Feng Mountain's side didn't even give an explanation; they just passed judgment, and a bunch of people clamored to kill the Moon God. Then there's the issue of union with the Human Clan. Thinking about it carefully, there's no problem with that either! Intermarriage between humans and demons, humans and the Ming Tribe, the Ming Tribe and the Divine Clan, demons and the Divine Clan... What the hell is the problem with that? Then looking at An's mouth, not to mention her special nature, just this mouth makes it worth the Ming Tribe intermarrying with the Human Clan. So persuasive.
But Liu Weiran was just a minor cultivator. He had no grand ambitions and knew he was powerless to change anything. All he could do was bring An back and exchange her for some opportunity.
Liu Weiran shook his head, still holding onto her, and said indifferently, "No matter how eloquently you plead, it's useless. If Luo Feng Mountain says your mother betrayed us, then it's a betrayal. If Luo Feng Mountain says you're guilty, then you are guilty. This young master will capture you and take you back. If you refuse to submit, you can have your father come find me."
An was furious. "You blockhead!"
She was choked with rage. Just like a piece of rotting wood. She railed at him with a torrent of words, but he simply didn't take in a single sentence.
"Let me go! I have already informed my father, and he is about to arrive in the Netherworld to slaughter all of you," An said angrily. "If you don't want to die, let me go immediately and send me into the Secret Realm; otherwise... once my father arrives, you'll be the first one he slays!"
"Fine, I'll wait for him," Liu Weiran sneered. He originally came to the Secret Realm to sightsee, but coincidentally encountered An and captured her. It seemed like good luck.
An's face turned ashen, her mood desolate as she realized that her situation was about to spiral out of control. Her mind raced, searching for a way to escape. But alas... Thinking it over, she was utterly clueless, and on top of that, she had little strength. This fact alone was enough to make her lose all hope. But she couldn't just die!
「Soon after!」
On the way back, An remained silent, which came as a surprise to Liu Weiran. "Why aren't you speaking?"
She remained silent, her eyes dim. Perhaps from the beginning, my plan was wrong. I shouldn't have been so impulsive, and even less should I have relied on an "outsider," resulting in me being thrown out and unable to reach the passage. It was the closest I had been to hope in all these years. I tried very hard. Of course, thinking about it from another angle, perhaps Guang Xiaoyu was also of no use. Whether the passage existed or not, nobody knew. But my continued presence in the Ancient City would certainly be dangerous. But then...? It has been many years; how is Mother faring? Can she still hold on?
An worried in her heart.
Seeing her with a bowed head, Liu Weiran suddenly grabbed her and demanded, "Why aren't you talking?"
An looked at him with cold eyes, her gaze fixed on him, her defiance and stubbornness laid bare without any attempt to disguise them. At that moment, she didn't seem like a little girl, but more like a woman who had weathered the vicissitudes of time. Such a gaze was simply too terrifying.
For a moment, Liu Weiran felt as though he was facing off against a ferocious beast. He shuddered violently, feeling an uneasy dread inside him. But for his Great Opportunity and future prospects, he had to take An back and deliver her to Luo Feng Mountain.
Liu Weiran brought her back to the Liu Family. The news spread, and the entire Liu Family was shaken, then showed delight. After years of pursuit, they had finally caught the girl.
A group of high-ranking members hurried over, filling the area inside and out. They all looked at An curiously, wondering how a little girl, an untrained child, could have evaded them for so many years? Now it seemed she was quite ordinary!
From outside the crowd, an elder in white approached. His figure was stooped, his clothes simple, and his face sallow. Upon seeing An, he instinctively curved his lips upward, revealing a hint of coldness. "Very good, not bad at all. Who captured her?"
Nearby, Liu Weiran promptly responded, "Family Head, it was I!"
The elder in white looked at him and said, "You have made a great contribution."
Liu Weiran was delighted.
"Bring out the medicinal tub!" the elder in white said with a laugh, his expression turning chilling and ferocious. "I want to see what secrets the Daughter of the Moon God hides within her!"
What wonders might the union of the Human Clan and Ming Tribe yield? The elder was very curious. Indeed, the entire Liu Family, even the entire Netherworld, shared this curiosity. After all, countless powerful beings had hunted her for years, yet none had succeeded. What did that imply? There must be some secret hidden within this girl.
An glared and yelled, "Old Bastard, do you dare?"
