Chapter 246: The Dao Lord Appears
Tushan Qing glanced at Xiao Shou’s bone age with a hint of regret, then spoke in a gentle tone.
"Good. Now tell me, my dear, who else bullied you? I will avenge you."
The surrounding cultivators were stunned.
This young man actually had such a powerful grandfather?
Since when did the Heaven Origin Realm have someone this strong?
He had wiped out so many Spirit Transformation cultivators with a single move.
That level of power was clearly beyond that realm.
Could it be the next stage?
Those with quick minds recalled that San Tu had addressed him as Dao Lord.
Having read their sects’ secret records, they immediately understood what that title implied in the higher realms.
At the thought of the term Dao Lord, they all drew in a sharp breath and became extremely respectful, not daring to speak another word.
Meanwhile, the three overseers exchanged helpless looks.
Was this really the Dao Lord Tushan Qing mentioned in the intelligence reports?
His appearance matched perfectly and his strength certainly seemed to match as well.
But this... strange personality and the way he doted on his grandson, what was going on?
After silently pushing the responsibility between them with their eyes for a moment, Qing Shuang finally stepped forward with a resigned expression.
"Dao Lord Tushan, Xiao... ah, Young Master Xiao has gone through much over this period and was just frightened. Allow me to explain the situation to you."
Xiao Shou whose caught between confusion and discomfort from Tushan Qing’s behavior, nodded repeatedly.
Yes, please handle this.
Even Xiao Ran could not deal with this kind of person.
This overwhelming figure is all yours.
He looked at Qing Shuang with an encouraging gaze, leaving him feeling inexplicably puzzled.
Xiao Shou who was overly focused on Tushan Qing did not notice that his disciple Fu Young had quietly moved to his side.
Dark emotions churned violently in Fu Young’s eyes like a storm.
The shock of almost losing his master had pushed his unstable side to the brink of erupting.
Meanwhile, Tushan Qing cast a seemingly affectionate glance at his precious grandson, then turned his naturally alluring fox like eyes toward Qing Shuang with a cold and noble expression.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"This junior is Qing Shuang, one of the Alliance overseers of the Heaven Origin Realm," Qing Shuang quickly replied, stating his identity while inwardly worried that this eccentric Dao Lord might suddenly act unpredictably.
Tushan Qing nodded and said with a faint smile, "Go on."
Qing Shuang then honestly recounted everything that had happened.
After listening, Tushan Qing’s expression changed.
Many of his own people, including his parents had died at the hands of the Order of Assassins.
Killing intent immediately surged from him without restraint as he let out a slightly unhinged laugh.
"So that is how it is. They have been hiding in the mortal realm. No wonder they were so hard to find. You said there are still some left, correct?"
"Senior, we were planning to capture those people alive to extract more information," Qing Shuang said cautiously, recalling how Tushan Qing had casually wiped out enemies moments ago.
Tushan Qing glanced at him with a half smile.
"Hmph. Those little brats from the Order of Assassins all have restrictions on their souls. The moment you try to use soul searching technique, they would self destruct. Their mouths are tightly sealed. Even under extreme torture, they will not speak. They would rather kill themselves. If you think you can obtain information from them, give up that idea. They will not speak to anyone outside their own kind."
"Restrictions on the soul?" The three Alliance overseers were startled.
They ignored the mention of torture and exchanged glances.
Unable to hold back, San Tu asked the question aloud.
Tao Lin who is standing nearby quietly kept her head down and pretending to be invisible.
She had no desire to attract the attention of someone as unpredictable as Tushan Qing.
Fortunately, with thoughts of revenge and his precious grandson present, Tushan Qing had no interest in anything else at the moment.
He completely ignored San Tu’s question and instead looked at Xiao Shou with undisguised fondness.
"Do not be afraid, my dear. I will go and wipe out the rest of those pests to vent your anger."
"Mm... Grandfather," Xiao Shou replied stiffly, goosebumps rising all over his body.
Seeing this, Fu Young felt some of the darkness in his heart ease.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Senior, this junior’s bloodline ability can nullify techniques. However, my strength is limited. Against those of the same level, I can use it twice. Against those one level higher, only once. And each use requires time to recover."
Fu Young had no intention of becoming a tool for these people to gather information.
In his mind, it was enough to capture a leader, extract what was needed, and then get rid of the rest.
He was already irritated, and no matter who it was, he did not want his master paying attention to anyone but him.
Meanwhile, Gou Guangming who had been completely stunned this whole time finally snapped out of it.
He looked at Tushan Qing in disbelief.
This man was the legendary Ten Tailed Terrestrial Fox from the original story, the only one who ascended to the God Realm.
The one who was said to have shattered the Heavenly Dao and vanished without a trace.
Even after the male protagonist ascended, he had only heard rumors about him with no further details.
Tushan Qing, however, had no idea that someone nearby knew of his future deeds.
He simply turned his head and glanced at Fu Young who stood close beside Xiao Shou, and asked casually, "And who are you?"
"Uh... Grandfather, this is my only disciple, Fu Young," Xiao Shou hurriedly said while grabbing Fu Young’s hand in fear that Tushan Qing might suddenly act unpredictably.
To his surprise, once he started speaking, it became easier.
He was no longer stammering.
