Looking at the imposing Lu Xian before him, Lu Zhao's pupils shrank, his expression and eyes filled with disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "How could this be? How could this be!"
Because of Lu Li's disappearance, Lu Xian was trapped in the early stage of Mahayana for many years by her inner demons, and even showed signs of dying from the entrapment.
How did she suddenly overcome her inner demons and advance two levels to the late Mahayana stage, surpassing me by a small realm?
The reason he was able to become emperor and dominate for so many years was because he had the highest cultivation level in the clan.
In addition, he used some unspeakable means to barely control the Phoenix Clan and most of the Feather Clan, and became the emperor of the Feather Clan.
If the most powerful person changes, wouldn't his status be affected?
Most importantly, why didn't his people notice such an important event as Lu Xian's advancement? Why didn't even he himself notice anything unusual?
If he had discovered it earlier, how could he have allowed Lu Xian to advance and become someone who could threaten him?
Thinking this, Lu Zhao's eyes turned red, and his gaze towards Lu Xian was filled with a desire to pierce through her and tear her to pieces.
Lu Xian met his gaze, but remained calm and composed, showing no anger at his outburst. Instead, she greeted him with a smile, "Lu Zhao, long time no see."
You framed your master, caused me to develop inner demons, and forced me into seclusion for years without making any progress. I, Lu Xian, remember all of this. Now that my master has returned, it's time for us to settle the score.
Lu Xian thought this to herself, but her expression became even brighter.
Seeing this, Lu Zhao's anger, which he had finally managed to suppress, surged again. He glared at Lu Xian and almost gritted his teeth as he uttered, "Lu Xian, you...are...very...good."
Lu Xian still had a smile on her face: "Of course, I'm perfectly fine. As for whether you'll be alright next, well, that's hard to say."
Lu Xian didn't say the last sentence explicitly, but the meaning was very clear. Lu Zhao also understood it and felt a sense of panic inexplicably.
He tossed out the words "We'll see" and then turned and left.
But no matter how you look at it, that figure looked utterly disheveled.
Lu Xian watched him walk away, glancing at the many phoenixes present, but said nothing before turning back to her cave.
He activated the restriction and set up several more barriers around the area before taking out a newly acquired communication jade tablet and sending a message into it.
A moment later, the jade pendant in her hand lit up, indicating that a reply had arrived. After carefully reading the contents, Lu Xian's lips curled up in a smile.
Meanwhile, after entering the city, Shushu was quickly led by Phoenix, who was guiding the way, and arranged to a neat and clean courtyard.
On her right were the Qilin Clan who had come with them, and on her left was the Liuyue Sect, which she never expected.
Yes, it was the Flowing Moon Sect. When Shushu saw his master and mistress, his eyes lit up.
Just as she was about to greet them, she heard her master's wife's gentle voice transmission: "Little Sweet Potato, there are outsiders here." This was a reminder not to reveal anything yet.
Shushu understood immediately and swallowed back the words "master and mistress" that were about to be uttered.
He forcibly suppressed his excitement until he sent the phoenix who was leading the way away, confirmed that the Qilin next door had gone in, and that there were no other eyes watching him.
Before Shushu could even greet his elders, he darted into the neighboring yard and rushed straight into the embrace of Liuying, unwilling to leave again.
She really hadn't seen her master and mistress for so long, and she missed them terribly.
Liu Ying was also happy to see her. She reached out and gently patted her head, reminding her, "Go inside first. Your senior brothers and sisters are there too."
Upon hearing this, Shushu's eyes lit up immediately: "Is Senior Brother here too?"
Firefly nodded: "Yes."
The next moment, she realized her arms were empty; the rat was gone.
Looking back, good heavens, the millet had already turned into a white blob and was heading straight into the room.
There were quite a few people inside, and Shushu immediately spotted a handsome man in the crowd with a gentle expression, looking at her with tender eyes.
Shushu's eyes lit up, and in a burst of excitement, he leaped through the air and pounced into Lu Li's arms: "Senior Brother!"
She was embraced tightly by Lu Li before she realized that her current size was no longer the tiny girl that Lu Li used to tuck into her clothes.
Thinking that she had finally come of age, and that her eldest brother had not yet seen her in her adult human form, Shushu grinned and nimbly jumped back to the ground.
As she jumped, she focused her mind, and when she landed, she had transformed into a beautiful young girl wearing a pink fairy dress.
The moment his eyes met the girl's, Lu Li froze, feeling as if his heart skipped a beat, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
When the other person asked him with a smile and a smile, "Senior Brother, am I good-looking?" Lu Li was so nervous that he forgot to reply.
However, his silence did not mean that the others present would not respond, especially Xu Ruoyun and the rabbit that had already taken human form.
Seeing that Shushu had transformed, he didn't care whether she was asking Lu Li or not, and excitedly rushed over, hugged Shushu and started praising her: "So beautiful, so beautiful, Shushu/Junior Sister is so beautiful."
Distracted by their interruption, Shushu forgot to wait for Lu Li's reply.
Seeing the two people rush over and hug her, she first called out "Third Senior Sister" to Xu Ruoyun, and then looked at the girl next to her who looked unfamiliar but had a familiar aura: "You are Rabbit, you have transformed."
Rabbit knew that Millet would recognize her, and she was so happy that her teeth were showing: "It's me, it's me! You didn't expect that, did you? Hahaha, I've transformed too! I transformed myself!"
The little potato praised, "The rabbit is so great!"
Rabbit thought she was great too, and said with a smug look, "That's right."
In an instant, the three girls hugged and laughed for a while longer, until they saw Liu Yu and Liu Ying come in with a string of treasure-hunting rats, and then they stopped playing around.
After Liu Yu said, "Sit down and talk," Shushu very consciously followed and sat down next to Lu Li, completely unaware of the expectant looks from his ancestors.
After sitting down, she even leaned half her body towards Lu Li and asked, "Senior Brother, you haven't answered my question yet."
"You're still thinking about it," Lu Li chuckled, his expression softening further.
Ignoring several sudden, fierce glares directed at him, he reached out and tucked a stray strand of Shushu's hair behind her ear, then pressed her back into her seat before quietly whispering, "You look beautiful, Junior Sister is the most beautiful."
