Shen Yunhao never expected that the arrogant purple-robed man would turn into a human puppet the moment the scholar appeared, frozen in place.

Gui Mu was already at the Void Transformation level; the only one who could render him utterly powerless was this scholar before him…

"Plop..."

Shen Yunhao couldn't help but swallow.

The Void Realm is a true mountain peak on the continent!

Anyone who reaches this level is a well-established old monster, and they all come from ancient and powerful forces, such as the Seven Great Sects of the Righteous Path, the North Sea Dragon Clan, and the East Sea Dragon Clan.

Could it be... that the white-robed scholar in front of me is my father-in-law, who is rarely seen?

I was just deliberately provoking the other side to buy time; I never thought that Zhu Xuan would actually show up!

So... Tyrannosaurus Rex was the old dragon that actually ate and dashed, right?

After restraining Gui Mu, the white-robed scholar reverted to his drunken state. With a gentle lift of his hand, Shen Yunhao was lifted up by a force and suspended in mid-air.

"Hmm... this severed hand looks quite fitting for you..."

Then Shen Yunhao saw the pale-faced scholar simply place the severed arm at the joint and beckon with his finger.

The next second, the Vast Ocean Heart hidden between the eyebrows broke free from Shen Yunhao's control, floated out from his forehead, and hovered in front of the man.

"Long time no see, old friend..."

Han Haixin seemed to get excited, jumping around the scholar as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"Hey! Get out of here, little brat! Don't sober me up, or I'll get angry!"

"..."

Okay, it's confirmed!

This guy is none other than the legendary Northern Dragon Sea King Zhu Xuan, Zhu Li's biological father!

Without Zhu Xuan making any move, Han Hai Xin flew to the joint of the severed arm and emitted an incomparably dazzling blue light.

"hiss……"

pain!

Excruciating pain!

The pain was no less intense than the pain of having just lost an arm!

Shen Yunhao gasped, his face turning bright red. If he hadn't developed a strong resistance to pain, he probably would have screamed out.

"Young man, you still know pain? I thought you were invincible..."

The scholar in white pursed his lips, his tone indifferent, "When you were courting death just now, I didn't see you react this strongly..."

Under the intense pain, Shen Yunhao was too weak to answer Zhu Xuan's question. He could only grit his teeth and persevere, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

The pain didn't last long; after about ten seconds, the blue light from the Vast Ocean Heart subsided and returned to Shen Yunhao's brow.

The white-robed scholar flicked out a finger, and an invisible force struck Shen Yunhao's shoulder, causing Shen Yunhao to immediately lose sensation in the left half of his body.

"All set, let me give you some anesthesia..."

"???"

Shen Yunhao's eyes widened.

No? If I remember correctly, shouldn't the anesthesia be administered before the surgery?

At this moment, the scholar scratched his head, "I seem to have remembered it wrong, it should have been anesthetized before taking over..."

"..."

Shen Yunhao took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Thank you so much, Senior Yue... for saving my life!"

He only remembered what Zhuli had said halfway through the conversation: this Dragon King seemed to particularly dislike being called father-in-law.

"Don't touch this hand for three days. After three days, the anesthesia will wear off naturally, and you'll have two hands again... I found this hand, so I don't know if it'll work well. If it doesn't work, tell me and I'll get you a better one!"

"..." Shen Yunhao felt his scalp tingle and quickly said, "It works well, it works well. It is exactly what you asked for, Senior!"

"Hehe..." The man chuckled freely, "As long as it works, that's fine. My little darling is just like her mother; one hand might not be enough to handle her. You'll have to put in more effort. A real man shouldn't let a girl look down on him!"

"???"

Why does this sound so strange to me, but I can't quite put my finger on why?

"Go to Beihai to find her as soon as possible. Like her mother, she's become addicted to her own medicine, little by little... If you keep her waiting too long, she'll be drained dry the next time you meet. Don't blame me for not warning you, as her elder..."

Zhu Li: "(*////ω////*)"

Shen Yunhao was dumbfounded.

Now I understand, what kind of outrageous and treacherous words are these!

Although, during the year and a half that I've been in the Tianshan Mountains, the number of times Sister Li'er has come here...

Hmm, it does seem like I'm being a bit too frequent.

But as a father, you don't have to speak so ill of your daughter, do you?

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Xuan seemed to read Shen Yunhao's mind, and his expression immediately turned cold. "Since you've decided to provoke the Dragon Clan, you must be prepared to fight to the bitter end. If my little darling is even slightly unhappy, I will personally come to settle accounts with you..."

"Whoosh!"

Shen Yunhao immediately stood at attention and said with great conviction, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will absolutely not let Sister Li'er suffer any injustice."

Then, subconsciously, he rubbed his lower back.

Zhu Xuan's eyes were still slurred with intoxication. He leaned closer and whispered, "Now you know why I have so many wives and concubines, right? Bao'er is still young now and knows how to save face for you. But when she gets to my age... never mind. A man's face is something he has to earn himself. You better watch yourself!"

Shen Yunhao touched his nose and didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Xuan is clearly drunk and will say anything. No one is sure if this great god will remember what happened when he sobers up, so it's best to listen less and say less...

"Alright, alright, enough of the small talk, let's get down to business!"

After Zhu Xuan stopped, his face instantly darkened, and then he raised his hand and gave Shen Yunhao a loving flick on the forehead!

"You think you're so great, huh? You think you can just give up your life for a monster you barely know and she'll remember you for life? What about Li'er? What about that little girl who planted the love spell on you? You'd be happy to let her die with you?"

Shen Yunhao's head was buzzing from the blow, and he quickly explained, "Senior, actually I..."

"when!"

"Ouch!"

"You dare talk back! You're asking for it!"

"..."

In fact, Shen Yunhao deliberately provoked Guimu for two reasons.

One reason is to buy time.

It was obvious that Gui Mu intended to use Shen Yunhao to lure out Mo Yan. He certainly wouldn't take his life in the short term. The more Shen Yunhao angered him, the longer he would be tortured here, and the greater Shen Yunhao's chance of being rescued.

Putting everything else aside, Ning Yuyao would definitely sense if he were in danger, and the chances of Nie Qingshuang coming to his aid are not low.

Once Gui Mu takes me back to the Demon Sect, it will be very difficult to rescue me, whether I live or die.

Secondly... if he really couldn't be rescued, Shen Yunhao would rather die here than be taken back to the Blood Sect.

As for the Heart-to-Heart Curse... In fact, before leaving Tianshan, Shen Yunhao had already secretly approached Nie Qingshuang to inquire if there was a way to unilaterally break the Heart-to-Heart Curse. If Guimu really wanted to kill him, he could at least guarantee that Ning Yuyao's life would not be in danger.

Knowing that his trip was very risky, Shen Yunhao would never inflict such a risk on the girl who loved him so much!
