Chapter 174 - First Appearance of the Fang

You Lan: “???”

Seeing that You Lan was somewhat puzzled, Ling Xinyue continued,

“Actually, I’m an orphan. After being adopted by the previous Demon Venerable, I changed my surname to his surname. Previously, my surname was not Ling. My surname was actually Lu.”

You Lan :”…”

Ling Xinyue raised her slender jade-like hand and tidied the hair by her ear. Her originally cold hairstyle now made her look like an obedient little girl.

“Moreover… the moment I saw Senior Lu, I felt that I was very familiar with him. I must have seen him before.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Xinyue walked up the mountain.

You Lan was petrified on the spot.

She did not know if the Demon Venerable was finding an excuse for herself. However, she knew that the Demon Venerable… was really lacking in love.

After the two of them arrived at the mountain, Ling Xinyue cleaned up the trash in the house very obediently. Lu Xiaoran sat on a recliner in the courtyard and basked in the sun.

After cleaning up the trash, Ling Xinyue could not help but whisper,”Dad, your cultivation seems to be very powerful already. Why are you hiding in this mountain stream? Why don’t you go out and make a reputation for yourself?”

Lu Xiaoran glanced at her.

“Do you think I’ve never done something like that?”

Hiss!

Ling Xinyue could not help but exclaim.

“What dynasty did Dad establish?”

“What’s a dynasty? The world is so big. One needs to at least establish an empire!”

Ling Xinyue and You Lan immediately trembled.

The Senior Lu in front of him had actually established an empire?

Lu Xiaoran was lying anyway. Why would he need to limit himself if he was making up lies?

“Sigh, it’s all in the past. There’s no need to mention it.”

However, Ling Xinyue clearly did not want to let go of this world-shaking gossip.

“Dad, since you’ve established an empire before, why are you hiding in this wilderness now?”

Lu Xiaoran shook his head and revealed a helpless expression.

“You’re still young, so you don’t understand. In this world, there are some people whose luck is too huge. Their cultivation might be very weak, their talent might be trash, and they will be mocked all day long. However, they still have a lot of luck! No matter how powerful your cultivation or background is, as long as you encounter such a person, I’ll tell you. It’s all for nothing.”

Ling Xinyue’s heart pounded crazily.

“There’s actually such a person in this world?”

“That’s right. That’s why I say that it’s better to be safe than sorry. My glory has already passed. Now, all I have to do is cultivate steadily and wait for the opportunity to break through to that level. As for the other benefits, wealth, and power, they’re all fleeting. I’ve long seen through them.”

“Then… I wonder which empire Dad created?”

Lu Xiaoran took a deep breath and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

“It’s all in the past. Why talk about it?”

“I just want to look up to Father. I want to reminisce your glory.”

“Forget it. The empire has long fallen. You probably won’t be able to find it either.”

“Then… doesn’t Father have a grand title?”

“Yes… In the past, people liked to call me… Heavenly Thearch Soul!”

Boom!

At this moment, be it You Lan or Ling Xinyue, they both seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Although they had vaguely guessed something when Lu Xiaoran said that he had established an empire just now, when they really confirmed that Lu Xiaoran was a Martial Monarch Realm expert, they still could not help but be shocked.

A Martial Monarch Realm expert!!

That was a legendary existence, the strongest in this world!

Since ancient times, countless people had worked tirelessly just to become the top existence in millions of miles. They wanted to become a Martial Monarch Realm expert and look down on the world.

However, at this moment, a Martial Monarch Realm expert was lying in front of them!

You Lan could not help but whisper,

“Senior Lu, may I ask how many lovers have you had in your life? Do you have a lover called Liu Cuifang?”

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

Ling Xinyue immediately glared fiercely at You Lan.

Then, she said, “Father, ignore her. I have something to ask you. Do you have any thoughts on the battle between the Demon Sect and the Ancient Ape Tribe? Who will win?”

“Needless to say, of course it’s the Ancient Ape Tribe.”

Ling Xinyue: “???”

You Lan could not help but be puzzled.

“But I heard that the Demon Sect seems to have gained a lot of advantages in the past few days at the foot of the mountain?”

“That’s only temporary. I’ll tell you the truth. After experiencing so many things, I’ve long concluded a rule.

“Those with the surname Xiao, Ye, Chu, Lin, Fang, Su, Lu, Li, Chen… or those with the name Aotian, Liangchen, and Ritian are basically not to be trifled with. They usually have great luck.

“For example, this Ancient Ape Tribe’s chief seems to be called Fang Aotian, right? ”

Ling Xinyue nodded.

“Are there a lot of beautiful women around him? Are they all powerful girls but are still willing to share the same husband?”

Ling Xinyue and You Lan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. Lu Xiaoran was actually not wrong at all.

“Other than that, does he have a huge pile of treasures? Does it seem like he has an endless treasure vault?”

Ling Xinyue and Lu Xiaoran’s hearts pounded even more violently.

“Also, is he very arrogant and doesn’t have much strength? However, for some reason, he’s still invincible?”

Hearing this, Ling Xinyue’s face had already turned completely pale.

That’s right, her father was right.

Back then, she had chosen to kill her way into the Ancient Ape Tribe personally in order to completely kill Fang Aotian with her strength at the first level of the Supreme Realm. However, she did not expect Fang Aotian to detonate a Martial Monarch Realm weapon and severely injure her.

If not for Lu Xiaoran’s medicinal pill, her injuries would probably not have recovered much.

“Dad actually knows this kind of person like the back of his hand. Could it be that Dad has encountered this before?”

Lu Xiaoran nodded with a solemn expression.

“Have you ever heard of the saying ‘every dog has its day, don’t bully the poor’?”

Ling Xinyue shook her head.

She had already been sealed for a thousand years and naturally did not know about the saying Lin Fei coined.

“There was once a youth who said this. In just a few years, he went from a good-for-nothing to the Yan Emperor. I was defeated by him.”

Hiss!

Ling Xinyue and You Lan felt their scalps turn numb again, and their souls felt like they were about to explode.

In just a few years, he had gone from a good-for-nothing to an emperor?

Wasn’t this too ridiculous? What about those people who had worked hard for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years?

Thinking that Fang Aotian was also such a person, Ling Xinyue’s head hurt even more.

After a pause, she could not help but grit her teeth.

“Could it be that there’s no way to defeat Fang Aotian?”

Lu Xiaoran glanced at Ling Xinyue and deliberately asked coldly, “Why are you asking so many questions? You’re not from the Demon Sect.”

Ling Xinyue was stunned before coughing lightly to hide.

“I’m just a little curious. Dad, tell me.”

As she spoke, she took the initiative to step forward and massage Lu Xiaoran’s shoulders.

Seeing this scene, You Lan’s small face could not help but twitch fiercely.

Was this still the Demon Venerable in her memories?

This was clearly Senior Lu’s obedient and caring daughter.

“Alright, since I’m your father, I’ll explain it to you. In order to deal with this Fang Aotian, you can’t rashly resist. You have to be as sinister as possible.”

No matter what kind of despicable move it is, just use all your attacks at once. Attack him with the intention to kill. Do not be merciful or waste your breath. Before he is beaten to ashes, you should not be smug because you don’t know what other tricks he has up his sleeve.

He might even be saved by someone who had appeared out of nowhere, or he might have some secret technique that could turn the tables in an instant.

Moreover, I don’t think the Demon Sect’s people should be greedy when dealing with the Ancient Ape Tribe. If the two armies encounter each other, they should run after the fight is done. After all, It won’t be too late to deal more damage to the next wave of Ancient Ape Tribe disciples. ”

Ling Xinyue :”…”

You Lan :”…”

The two of them were instantly petrified on the spot.

Although they were from the Demon Sect, they were at most bloodthirsty and killing. However, compared to the people from the other sects, they were still a bit casual.

It was even to the extent that they would use some sinister methods, such as using numbers to bully the weak…

However, if they really fought such a war-level battle, the Demon Sect disciples were more inclined to fight to the death. They did not mind self-destructing or dying.

After all, the Demon Sect emphasized on being ruthless. In order to kill the enemy, they would do anything, even sacrificing their lives.

However… why did it feel like… they were still rather righteous compared to Lu Xiaoran’s methods?

Lu Xiaoran’s methods were simply shameless!

After a while, Ling Xinyue finally woke up from her shock.

“Dad’s strategy… is somewhat novel.”

“Alright, I have to be busy for a while. If there’s anything, settle it yourself. Don’t disturb me.”

“Yes.”

Lu Xiaoran could sense that Yun Lige and the others were not far from him. In another day or two, they would arrive.

He had to set up something in the Mountain and River State Painting in advance to temporarily fuse the Great Dao Reincarnation and slow the spatial flow in the Mountain and River State Painting. In this way, he could obtain more time to help Yun Lige and the others increase their strength.

Outside, You Lan could not help but whisper,

“Demon Venerable, why do I feel that Senior Lu’s combat method is a little like a scoundrel fighting?”

Ling Xinyue rubbed her eyebrows and was rather speechless.

“I’m not too sure either. However, since my father is a Martial Monarch Realm expert, he naturally has his reasons.”

You Lan was silent for a moment. The Demon Venerable seemed to have completely assimilated with her character now!

“Demon Venerable, what should we do now?”

Ling Xinyue pondered for a moment and immediately said, “Let’s fight according to the original method first. In any case, we’re at an advantage now. Let’s see how the Ancient Ape Tribe reacts first. Perhaps we can successfully destroy the Ancient Ape Tribe.”

Although Lu Xiaoran had lectured in such a godly manner, what he said still far exceeded Ling Xinyue’s understanding. It was also impossible for her to immediately go against her worldview and do as Lu Xiaoran said.

However!

At this moment, a black light suddenly flew over from the horizon and landed in Ling Xinyue’s hand.

Ling Xinyue’s pupils immediately constricted.
