"Gongsun Yu is only asking for Yue'er out of revenge. Even if we hand Yue'er over, he won't let the Lou family off the hook. We might as well fight them."
"Yes, Ancestor, let's fight them to the death."
"We are no match for the Gongsun family now."
"There are many more Immortal Emperors in these myriad realms than just Gongsun Yuyu. Does he think he can control everything? Jade Yang Heavenly Venerable has always been fair. Why don't we pledge our allegiance to him?"
“In the past, our Lou family had good relations with the ancient Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan. Why don’t we send someone to ask the Phoenix Emperor and the Qilin Holy Emperor for help? Perhaps the Phoenix Emperor and the Qilin Holy Emperor will lend a helping hand out of respect for our great-grandfather.”
While Lou Munan's grandfather and the others were discussing countermeasures, young Lou Munan sat on the railing in the courtyard, holding his spirit beast, his tender brows furrowed.
The adults hadn't told him anything about the Gongsun family, but he was always precocious, and even without their words, he guessed some things. He knew his family was facing a major crisis, but he only regretted that he was too young and weak to help his grandfather and parents.
Ultimately, Lou Munan's grandfather decided to let Lou Xinyue take Lou Munan away.
"Moon, take Xiao Nan away and go to find Jade Yang Celestial Venerable. Ask him to take Xiao Nan as his disciple," said Immortal King Lou Quan to his granddaughter.
The Lou family originally wanted Lou Munan to become Yu Yang Tianzun's disciple, and they planned to send him to Yu Yang Tianzun's Qingxu Palace when he turned twelve, by which time Yu Yang Tianzun would have emerged from seclusion.
Lou Quan believed no one could refuse a genius like his grandson. He just hadn't expected such a turn of events—Gongsun Yu breaking through his bottleneck and entering the Immortal Emperor realm. Even more unexpected was that this fellow would make a move against the Lou family so quickly.
“Once Jade Sun Celestial Venerable accepts Xiao Nan as his disciple, his interference in our affairs with the Gongsun family will be perfectly legitimate. Gongsun Yu has only just entered the Immortal Emperor realm, while Jade Sun Celestial Venerable has been an Emperor for millions of years. Jade Sun Celestial Venerable is unlikely to be afraid of him, and Gongsun Yu wouldn't dare to confront Jade Sun Celestial Venerable head-on. As long as Xiao Nan successfully becomes a disciple, the Lou family's crisis can be resolved,” Lou Quan said.
"Granddaughter obeys. Even if it costs her life, granddaughter will protect Xiaonan."
Lou Xinyue bowed to her grandfather, then bid farewell to her parents. She led the Lou family's experts and five-year-old Lou Munan to Qingxu Palace. The rest of the Lou family remained to deal with the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family has surrounded the entire Lishan Mountain, trapping the Lou family members in one place.
However, the Lou family also possesses a secret teleportation array. This array was drawn by the Lou family's Immortal Emperor ancestor, and even when most teleportation arrays are sealed, this one remains operational. But once teleportation occurs, Gongsun Yu will inevitably detect it. At that point, the three Immortal Kings, Lou Quan, Lou Huan, and Nan Ya, will have no choice but to risk their lives to hold off Gongsun Yu so that Lou Mu Nan and her brother can escape.
Lou Xinyue already knew that her grandfather, parents, and other family members were determined to die; they wouldn't be able to wait for Yu Yang Tianzun to arrive. Even if she sent Xiao Nan to Qingxu Palace and successfully had him become a disciple, Yu Yang Tianzun could only save the rest of the Lou family.
But at this point, there was no other choice.
She endured the pain, carried her younger brother, and led the others away via teleportation.
"Sister, Grandpa, Father, and Mother, why aren't you coming with us? And what about Sister Yanran and Brother Yuan?" Lou Munan asked Lou Xinyue.
"Little Nan, be good, they'll catch up soon." Lou Xinyue held back her tears and hugged her younger brother tightly.
The teleportation array activated, and the siblings were taken away. Just as Lou Quan, the patriarch of the Lou family and an immortal king, had predicted, Gongsun Yu detected the teleportation array as soon as it was activated. Gongsun Yu personally intervened and shattered the Lou family's protective array.
Ayao watched as the palaces that the Lou family had lived in for generations collapsed one by one, watched the beautiful mountains turn into mud and sand, watched the clear rivers be stained red with blood, and watched the corpses of the Lou clan members fall to the ground, or be completely destroyed by various magical weapons.
Gongsun Yu noticed that Lou Xinyue, Lou Munan, and their group had escaped. In order to stop him from pursuing them, Lou Quan, Lou Huan, and Nan Ya had no choice but to sacrifice their lives by using forbidden techniques to self-destruct one by one, thus holding off Gongsun Yu.
The battle was extremely fierce, and Lishan, which was originally like a paradise, was turned into a living hell.
Gongsun Yu was injured because of his overconfidence, but he ordered that no one from the Lou family should be allowed to escape.
The Gongsun family immediately went to pursue the Lou siblings.
Ayao watched as the Gongsun family caught up with Lou Xinyue and Lou Munan's group, and a fierce battle ensued. Even though Lou Munan was exceptionally talented and possessed unparalleled abilities, he was still just a child, a five-year-old boy. He had never experienced any killing before, and he was terrified. Seeing the Gongsun family members charging towards them with ferocious expressions, he trembled with fear.
No, don't—
He watched as his guards fell one by one, including the one who had been with him since childhood.
He watched their bodies being torn to pieces, watched his people fight one by one, bleeding and dying in the end. The young boy was pale, trembling all over, terrified and helpless, too frightened to utter a single word.
"Young Miss, take the young master and run!"
The elder of the Lou family shouted at the top of his lungs.
Lou Xinyue gritted her teeth, picked up Lou Munan, and transformed into a golden rainbow, speeding away. However, Lou Xinyue was someone Gongsun Yu had specifically requested, and the Gongsun family would not let her escape so easily. They pursued her relentlessly, like a persistent leech.
Lou Xinyue and her brother were eventually caught.
Lou Xinyue repelled several enemy attacks, but was seriously injured herself. She placed the young Lou Munan on the back of her spirit pet and ordered the three-eyed snow leopard to take her younger brother and flee towards Qingxu Palace.
