“philanthrope?”
Ling Shuang was taken aback, looked at David with a confused expression, then looked at his father. He obviously couldn’t relate his benefactor to a level seven Human Immortal.
David waved his hand, stood up from the pool, casually took a neatly folded blue robe from the side and put it on, his movements calm: “Sect Leader Ling, you are overpraising me.
Ia samar-samar merasa bahwa kembalinya Ling Shuang secara tiba-tiba mungkin bukan suatu kebetulan.
Ling Yunzi sighed, motioned for Ling Shuang to come closer, then said to David, “To be honest, Fellow Daoist Chen, Shuang’er is a disciple of Heavenly Fire Sword Venerable and has been cultivating in the Li Huo Secret Realm for many years. She hasn’t returned for ten years. Her sudden return this time did surprise me.”
He looked at Ling Shuang, his tone softened a little, but still asked, “Shuang’er, why did you suddenly return to the sect? Did something happen in the secret realm?”
Seeing her father’s serious attitude, Ling Shuang put away her childishness.
Lalu dia berkata dengan serius, “Ayah, saat aku berada di alam rahasia, aku mendengar bahwa Sekte Iblis Seribu Jiwa dan Sekte Pedang Xuantian-ku telah terlibat pertempuran besar di Dataran Darah Merah. Aku khawatir, jadi aku meminta izin kepada guruku dan bergegas kembali.”
“Fortunately, on the way I got news that the battle was over and Dad was safe and healthy, which calmed me down.”
“You are very considerate.”
Ling Yunzi’s gaze softened for a moment, then he asked, “Is it just because of this? Did you hear anything else on the way?”
Ling Shuang nodded, with a serious expression on her face: “Father, on my way home I did hear some shocking news, and I was just about to report it to you.”
He paused, subconsciously glancing at David again, before continuing, “I heard something terrible has happened in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!”
David’s previously indifferent expression suddenly solidified, and he stared fiercely at Ling Shuang: “Ten Thousand Beast Sect? What happened?”
Ling Shuang was surprised by David’s sudden change in attitude. The worry and sharpness that suddenly appeared in his calm eyes made her heart pound for no reason.
He composed himself and said, “The specific details are not very clear, but the rumor is that the Thousand Soul Demon Sect was secretly sowing discord, and a group called the ‘Combined Beast Clan’ within the Thousand Beast Sect suddenly betrayed them, launching a rebellion in collusion with them from within.”
“It is said that the battle was extremely fierce. The Leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Lie Tian, led some of his confidants to break through the encirclement and escape. Their whereabouts are unknown. Now the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has been controlled by those Combined Beast Clans.”
“What?!”
David’s pupils narrowed sharply, and his aura fluctuated uncontrollably for a moment. Although he immediately restrained himself, the coldness and anger he displayed at that moment made Ling Yunzi and Ling Shuang, who were standing nearby, feel chills down their spines.
The spiritual liquid at the edge of the pool even rippled in a circle as a result.
