Chapter 173: Actually, I Have a Secret Hidden For Many Years

Fang Aotian entered the Ancient Bronze Hall and looked at the mountain of weapons, medicinal pills, materials, and cultivation techniques in the hall. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed endless confidence.

Back then, he had been thrown off the cliff by the people of the Ancient Ape Tribe. However, he had never expected to benefit from a disaster and obtain this Ancient Bronze Hall.

This Ancient Bronze Hall was the treasure vault of an ancient sect. It was a Martial Monarch Realm spatial-type Dharma treasure.

Moreover, it contained countless treasures.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Ancient Bronze Hall’s Weapon Soul, he had the rights to use all the treasures here.

Relying on the treasures here, Fang Aotian’s strength soared all the way. In the end, he returned to the Ancient Ape Tribe and successfully killed his brother to take back the Ancient Ape Tribe and become the new chief.

The current him not only had a high cultivation and many subordinates, but he also had a group of beauties who were willing to do anything for him.

It could be said that the Ancient Bronze Hall had given him everything.

As long as this Ancient Bronze Hall was around, Fang Aotian felt that no one in this world would be his match.

One day, he would become the strongest expert in this world, invincible.

“Weapon Soul, prepare 20 Saint Weapons, 50 Heaven Realm weapons, 1,000 Heaven Realm medicinal pills, and 50 low-grade Saint Realm medicinal pills for me.”

The void fluctuated. A moment later, a dark green shadow appeared and bowed to Fang Aotian.

“Yes, Master.”

The corner of Fang Aotian’s mouth curled up slightly, his eyes revealing a smug expression.

“Demon Sect, just you wait. I, Fang Aotian, will let you know that those who provoke me will live a life worse than death!”

…

In the Demon Sect’s central command tent, Ling Xinyue finally slowly opened her eyes after recuperating for a few days.

Her eyes, which had been somewhat dim from her injuries a few days ago, had already recovered their brightness at this moment. In fact, there were even traces of lightning flickering in them.

Clenching her fists and sensing the surging strength in her body, the corner of her mouth curled up.

“Not bad. My cultivation has already recovered a lot. Although I haven’t completely recovered to my peak strength, I’ve already recovered 90% and can already unleash the cultivation of the tenth level of the Emperor Realm.”

“You Lan.”

After sending out his thoughts, the next moment, You Lan’s figure instantly moved to the huge tent and knelt on the ground.

“Greetings, Demon Venerable.”

“How is the battle these past few days?”

“Demon Venerable, the situation of the battle is very good. After the equipment change, the combat strength of the originally retreating holy Demon Sect disciples has increased by countless levels. On the first day after the equipment change, Elder Black Fiend even killed Fang Aotian’s woman and shattered her soul. He did not even leave a trace of her soul for Fang Aotian.”

“I heard that in the past two days, Fang Aotian has already begun to send the various subsidiary sects to battle. I reckon that many of the Ancient Ape Tribe’s disciples have been killed by us in the past two days.”

“Alright!”

Ling Xinyue’s eyes flashed with joy.

After being suppressed by the Ancient Ape Tribe for so many days, she could finally hold her head high and vent her previous displeasure.

“Relay my orders and launch a full-scale counterattack. We have to seize the opportunity to destroy the Ancient Ape Tribe’s underlings in one go.”

“Yes!”

“After doing all of this, prepare to go to the Heaven Cloud Mountain with me.”

“What for?”

You Lan was somewhat surprised.

Ling Xinyue swept her gaze coldly.

“Why? Since when do I need you to question my orders?”

Hearing this, You Lan’s heart trembled and she immediately lowered her head.

“I… I’m guilty.”

With a light snort, Ling Xinyue continued,

“I’ll forgive you for now. In the future, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

“Understood.”

“There are still 20 million top-grade spirit stones in the Demon Sect’s treasure vault. Take them all.”

“Yes.”

After issuing the order, You Lan quickly prepared and headed to the Heaven Cloud Mountain with Ling Xinyue.

At this moment, at the foot of Heaven Cloud Mountain, a young female itinerant cultivator in tattered clothes was standing there.

“Dad, it’s Xiaoyu. Dad, come out and meet me.”

Hearing this commotion, Lu Xiaoran instantly teleported into the array formation. With just a glance, Lu Xiaoran recognized the other party as Lu Dashan’s daughter.

Her flat face and bull-like eyes were simply the same as her father’s. She only lacked his beard.

The other party’s eyes could not help but light up when he saw Lu Xiaoran.

Lu Xiaoran was very handsome. Not to mention, his cultivation seemed to be very high and his speed was so fast that even she could not see him arrive.

Most importantly, his body faintly emitted some light. He definitely had very good Dharma treasures.

If she were to be with him, she would definitely be able to live peacefully in this chaotic world.

“Dad, I’ve finally found you.”

Lu Xiaoyu shouted and was about to rush over. Lu Xiaoran raised his hand and blocked her not far away.

“Stop, what are you saying? Are you even my daughter? Can’t you see that I don’t look like you at all?”

“Dad! What are you saying? I’m your daughter. Do you dislike me and don’t want to acknowledge me?”

“Stop, I’m not your father. You’re at least 40 to 50 years old. You’re even older than my mother. Your father went to the Ancient Ape Tribe. Go there and find him.”

Actually, when she saw Lu Xiaoran, Lu Xiaoyu could tell that Lu Xiaoran was not her father. She was so ugly, so how could she have such a young and handsome father? Naturally, it was impossible!

However, when she heard Lu Xiaoran say that he was not her father, Lu Xiaoyu became even more excited.

If he could not be my father, wouldn’t it be better for him to be the father of my child?

Lu Xiaoran was handsome, had treasures, and was also powerful. It was difficult to find a man like him.

Therefore, she forcefully shouted,

“I don’t care. In any case, you’re my father and I’m your daughter. You’re the only family I have now. If you don’t care about me, I can only go and find my mother.”

“Then I’ll give you a ride.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xiaoran directly slapped his palm before the other party could react.

Boom!

The weak Lu Xiaoyu was directly slapped into ashes by Lu Xiaoran.

Lu Xiaoran was not stupid. He could naturally tell what Lu Xiaoyu was planning.

If it were an ordinary person, Lu Xiaoran would not have killed her. However, after telling her Lu Dashan’s whereabouts, she still wanted to pester him endlessly, take advantage of him, and have designs on him. He could not tolerate this.

After dealing with Lu Xiaoyu, two auras quickly approached from afar.

It was none other than Ling Xinyue and You Lan.

After the two of them arrived, their hearts immediately raced when they saw Lu Xiaoran.

“Dad, why are you at the foot of the mountain? Are you meeting someone?”

“No, a small thief was already slapped to death by me just now.”

“Oh, that’s good.”

Ling Xinyue heaved a sigh of relief. What she was most afraid of now was for Lu Xiaoran to see Lu Xiaoyu.

If her identity was exposed and Lu Xiaoran became furious, she would probably be directly slapped into pieces before she could even fight Fang Aotian.

“You’ve also been out for a few days. Did you sell those weapons?”

Ling Xinyue smiled and said, “They’re all sold out. A total of 20 million top-grade spirit stones.”

Lu Xiaoran’s eyes lit up. 20 million top-grade spirit stones was equivalent to 2 billion high-grade spirit stones.

Indeed, not only did he not lose out, but he had also profited a little.

However, he pretended to be puzzled. “So it turns out that you sold them for 20 million top-grade spirit stones. Not bad. However, speaking of which, you’re only a young lady. After selling so many things and obtaining so many spirit stones, why didn’t anyone rob you?”

He still had to ask these questions deliberately. Otherwise, Ling Xinyue would definitely sense something.

Ling Xinyue had clearly long expected Lu Xiaoran to be suspicious, so she had long thought of a countermeasure.

Hearing him ask, she immediately replied, “Uh… Actually, my cultivation level is not bad. Moreover, I have made many friends outside for so many years. There are also many cultivators who like me and want to pursue me. Therefore, generally speaking, few people in this area dare to touch me.”

“Moreover, that auction house is a proper auction house of the Great Zhou Empire. They definitely wouldn’t dare to do anything.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded.

“I see. Looks like you’ve been doing well outside these years. However, you can’t be arrogant. You have to know that in this world, there’s always someone better. It’s still very dangerous if you encounter an expert.”

Ling Xinyue nodded very obediently.

“Dad is right. I’ll definitely remember it in my heart. Here are 20 million top-grade spirit stones. Please take a look, Dad.”

Lu Xiaoran directly took back the spirit stones and said indifferently,

“It’s fine. You’re my daughter. Do I need to doubt you? Let’s go up the mountain.”

With that said, he immediately flew up the mountain.

You Lan was dumbfounded. Was this the Demon Venerable she knew?

She kept calling him “dad”. If one did not know better, they might really think that Ling Xinyue was Lu Xiaoran’s daughter.

Ling Xinyue patted her chest, causing it to sway left and right.

“You Lan, how was my performance just now? Did I expose myself?”

You Lan gave her a thumbs up.

“We definitely won’t be exposed. Demon Venerable’s performance just now was really superb. There aren’t many people in the world who can do this. I feel that not to mention this Senior Lu, even if the other party was a god, he would probably think that you’re his daughter. He definitely won’t be able to tell that you’re acting.”

The corner of Ling Xinyue’s mouth curled up.

This was enough.

As long as she acted well and made Lu Xiaoran believe that she was his daughter, she could come here every day.

She had a feeling that the father the heavens had given her was very likely to be a huge opportunity for her.

At this moment, You Lan could not help but whisper,

“However, Demon Venerable, isn’t it a little degrading. After all, your status is so honorable and he’s not your true father. You’re letting him take advantage of you.”

Ling Xinyue shook her head.

“That’s not necessarily true. Actually, speaking of which, I have a secret that I’ve hidden for many years. It’s not known to outsiders.”
