The soul of the Great Demon King of Three Thousand entered the void space and suddenly discovered that this was actually the domain of the Wu clan...
In the Land of Extreme Cold, inside an ice cave. Liu Ruyan sat cross-legged on a cold jade bed. On the stone wall beside her, a scene of the Great Demon King of Three Thousand entering the Wu domain appeared. With a flick of her finger, the image vanished.
"Nuwa! Why did you let the Great Demon King of Three Thousand enter the Wu domain?" Ling'er asked beside her, puzzled.
"Of course, I don't want them all to perish. Their presence is needed to attract the attention of Primordial Heavenly Lord and Grand Supreme Elder, so they won't discover Lu Fan's existence," Liu Ruyan said calmly.
"Nuwa! Who exactly is Lu Fan? Even Nuwa owes him a debt of gratitude!" Ling'er asked in confusion.
"I don't know who he is either. However, after the Wu-Demon tribulation, Primordial Heavenly Lord used this as an excuse to seize my human race's destiny. Before the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, the destiny of the Great Shang was exhausted, so I ordered you to disrupt the Shang in the mortal world.
Primordial Heavenly Lord seized this opportunity and ordered Jiang Ziya to use the Investiture of the Gods to create the Investiture of the Gods tribulation! You, a fox spirit, also died under Jiang Ziya's Divine Whip. It was I who collected your primordial spirit, allowing you to be reborn.
Unexpectedly, Primordial Heavenly Lord was not content with this. First, he had the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito suck the life force out of the Immortal Master Gui Ling Sheng Mu of the Jie Sect, and then he had it fly to the Land of Ultimate Bliss to suck away three grades from the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, the treasure of the Western Sect. This weakened the West and undermined the Human Sect. Then, he secretly attacked and trapped me in the Wu-Demon battlefield.
From then on, among the Six Saints of that year, none had the strength to contend with him. Primordial Heavenly Lord became the true Grand Heavenly Lord.
Later, it was Lu Fan who brought me out of the Wu-Demon battlefield, but he was discovered by Primordial Heavenly Lord. We fled all the way to this Land of Extreme Cold. I transformed into the Snow Lord and stayed here. As for Lu Fan, to shield me from heavenly secrets and prevent Primordial Heavenly Lord from finding me, he played a game of hide-and-seek with Primordial Heavenly Lord, reincarnating time and again," Liu Ruyan said calmly.
"So you also want to shield him from heavenly secrets?" Ling'er asked.
"No, I am building up his forces and waiting for the opportune moment!" Liu Ruyan suddenly said.
"Ah?" Ling'er's eyes widened. She even looked a bit startled.
...
In Twelve Gully Village, Lu Fan and Wang Yan sat on bamboo chairs at home, watching their son and Yuan Feng play beside them. Yuan Feng had never played with humans before, especially children. She realized how happy humans could be. It was truly good to be human!
Wang Yan did not expect Yuan Feng to transform into human form, and such a beautiful woman at that. Knowing that this woman would be by Lu Fan's side in the future, she felt a pang of jealousy.
Honk honk... Two car horns sounded from outside.
Lu Fan and Wang Yan stood up and looked outside. They saw a black car parked at the entrance of the villa. Two tall and handsome women got out of the car. It was Hong Xiaojiao and Zhuge Xian.
However, the guards at the main gate immediately blocked the two girls.
"Third, Fifth. Open the main gate!" A voice suddenly called out, and Mo Xiong hurried over. He recognized both girls and knew they were friends of Lu Fan, and not ordinary friends.
The two quickly opened the main gate, allowing the two girls into the courtyard.
"Zhuge Xian, Hong Xiaojiao! How dare you leave Huarong Mansion without permission, hmph!" Lu Fan appeared at the entrance and said to the two girls with feigned anger.
"Mansion Lord! You've actually returned!"
"Ah... Mansion Lord!"
The two girls were suddenly overjoyed to see Lu Fan and rushed over, throwing themselves into Lu Fan's arms.
"Cough cough... You two are... Hey, hey... I just changed my clothes." Lu Fan was about to make a joke when he saw the two girls crying profusely and getting his clothes all wet.
"Hmph! Who told you to disappear without a trace and not inform us when you returned," Zhuge Xian said indignantly, punching Lu Fan lightly.
"Alright! It's all my fault!" Lu Fan said with a helpless wry smile. He wanted to inform them, but he wasn't sure how long he could stay at home. He might have to leave the next day.
He had originally thought he could live a few years of peaceful, happy days at home. But he didn't expect Primordial Heavenly Lord to appear so soon. Didn't the big bosses always appear last? Why was this guy so impatient!
"By the way, why are you two here? Don't tell me you miss me?" Lu Fan said jokingly.
"Uh..." As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, Wang Yan's small hand gave Lu Fan's waist a fierce pinch.
"Right, Mansion Lord, we're here for a very important matter!" Zhuge Xian quickly wiped her face and said, "Do you remember a little girl named Duanmu Xiu from the Duanmu family?"
"Oh! I remember! What about her?" Lu Fan suddenly recalled that little girl, who was only five or six years old. The image of the little girl staring at him with hatred was still vivid in his mind.
"Recently, Duanmu Xiu has appeared in several major families and challenged many of their strong individuals. Many of them have been defeated and even seriously injured. As soon as we received the news, we sent people to track her, but we couldn't find her. My father is worried that the little girl is here to seek revenge on you, and since you were not here, he sent us two to protect the Lu family's safety," Zhuge Xian said hurriedly.
"A girl less than ten years old can defeat many strong individuals from martial arts families?" Lu Fan was stunned. This little girl was too much of a genius!
"It's true that the little girl's cultivation is not low. However, according to people from those martial arts families, the little girl has a treasure in her hand, a purple-gold bell. When she rings the bell, the person she is fighting will become dizzy and disoriented. Her opponents in the duels are all at a disadvantage because of this bell," Hong Xiaojiao added from the side.
"Purple-Gold Bell?" Lu Fan frowned slightly. How could such a magic treasure exist in the mortal world? Zhan Tai Ruomei did have a golden bell, which seemed to have a similar effect.
"Benefactor! Could the Purple-Gold Bell be an item of Cihang Daoren?" Yuan Feng's voice suddenly appeared in Lu Fan's divine sense.
Lu Fan was slightly surprised. This was unlikely, wasn't it? Cihang Daoren was a disciple of Primordial Heavenly Lord and one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, currently known as Guanyin. How could Duanmu Xiu obtain her treasure? If she really had her treasure, how lucky would this Duanmu Xiu be!
"Alright! Since you're here, come in! I'll make something delicious for you tonight!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
The group went inside the building. Wang Yan immediately ordered someone to prepare a delicious meal. However, when Zhuge Xian and Hong Xiaojiao saw Yuan Feng playing with Lu Chenglong, their eyes glared fiercely at Lu Fan. Hmph! No wonder this guy was away for so long. He was captivated by two beautiful women.
