At a time like this, if the old man were to shed a single tear for them, it might scare the Demon Lord, who hasn't even appeared yet, into holding back... That would be quite a sight!
Unfortunately, my husband is very concerned about saving face.
Before the heavenly lightning struck, the Demon Lord's high-class aura swept across the entire area indiscriminately.
The demonic cultivators all knelt down in obeisance, and Zhou Mengya and Wu Hanyan also bowed to show their submission.
Perhaps due to his dragon bloodline, Long Yunqi did not feel any discomfort. However, the little vines were somewhat flustered and withdrew back to Tian Ning's wrist. Not far away, Qiao Yushi was also clearly unable to withstand the invisible pressure and had difficulty even standing up straight.
“Old man,” Tian Ning instructed, “if there is a chance later, you should take Senior Qiao away first, as well as the wronged souls of those fellow Daoists and children who are also trapped in the barrier.”
Even when the Demon Lord himself arrived, Tian Ning showed no fear whatsoever.
Heaven knows she will not die.
Those clothes were sewn and mended by him stitch by stitch... Although they didn't look fancy, they were a death-proof token protected by this world. Unless the world collapsed, no one could kill the person they wanted to protect!
But... not dying is one thing, but if you really face the Demon Lord and get beaten up, the pain is real.
Heaven still remembers how many beatings Tianning suffered at the hands of the Xuanyuan family...
The heavens remained unmoved, and the little face grew even more stern.
He was trying to figure out how to cry.
Living beings cry when they are sad, they cry when they are hurt, so, can he pinch himself?
However, before the Heavenly Dao could act, Tian Ning was already urging them: "Come on, old man, I'll go and draw their aggro, you lead them and run faster."
Heaven's Dao: "..."
Tiandao pinched his own thigh hard, but without shedding a tear, he silently put his hand down and simply pulled Long Yunqi to Qiao Yushi's place.
Two short kids grabbed Qiao Yushi, who looked like another child, and started to run away. Long Yunqi also stuffed a mouthful of pills into Qiao Yushi's mouth.
"Hmm..."
Qiao Yushi chewed twice before she could finally speak: "I'm not leaving!"
The Heavenly Dao was displeased: "Don't hold Ningning back."
"My sister told us to go," Long Yunqi repeated, "We are all obedient good children!"
Heaven's Dao: "..."
“I’m sorry, but ever since I embarked on this path, I have never thought of going back alive,” Qiao Yushi insisted, his gaze fixed on the boy beside Zhou Mengya the whole time: “This is the purpose of my coming here.”
He said, "I need to give his mother an explanation."
“I lost him, and now I’m taking him home.”
"But that's just a body that doesn't even have a complete soul." Before the Heavenly Dao could speak, Long Yunqi directly stated the boy's situation.
Long-term, endless brainwashing can gradually cause people to lose their self-awareness, let alone children whose cognition is not yet fully developed.
Long Yunqi was telling the truth.
At his age, he couldn't possibly understand why someone would insist on doing something when they knew it was beyond repair.
"Let's go."
Without hesitation, Tiandao pulled Long Yunqi along to continue searching for the righteous cultivators who had entered with Tianning and the vengeful spirits of the ghost children.
"Ah—but Tian Tian, if we do this, we won't be obedient good children!" Long Yunqi felt that this wouldn't do.
Clearly, it was very important to him to be a good child who listened to his older sister.
Heaven's Dao: "..."
Who taught him to call out "tiantian" (天天)?
The Heavenly Dao remained expressionless: "That's how emotions are in this world. He knows what he's doing; he's very clear-headed. This is the path he's chosen, and we have no right to stop him."
Finding the child and avenging his family are Qiao Yushi's obsessions.
