Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

Chapter 18: Master Luo Wu is furious!

"Zhang Tianze, Tian’er… His life card… is broken?"

"Snap!"

Upon hearing this, Master Luo Wu was first taken aback, then the armrest of his seat crumbled to pieces in his hand. His aura nearly spiraled out of control, and the terrifying pressure of the Annihilation Realm burst forth, forcing many elders present to bow slightly to withstand it.

As for the disciple who came to report, he was now pressed firmly against the ground, unable to move even a finger, seemingly on the verge of passing out!

"Sect Leader!"

Seeing his disciple in such a dire state, an elder promptly spoke up.

This call snapped Master Luo Wu back from the brink of losing control. He quickly retracted his oppressive aura, and the relieved elders heaved a sigh of relief.

The disciple, on the other hand, felt like he had just escaped from the jaws of death, panting heavily on the ground.

"Wait! I remember I also sent Seventh Elder and Third Elder to accompany Tian'er to the Moro Kingdom. How could there be an accident?"

Master Luo Wu suddenly recalled something, his brows furrowing. The Moro Kingdom, after all, only had one Return to Void Realm powerhouse—the Emperor—and he was only at the third or fourth level of the Return to Void Realm.

Whether it was the Third Elder or the Seventh Elder, either one of them could easily suppress the situation! How could they let Tian'er encounter any mishap in the Moro Kingdom?

"Sect Leader... The tokens of the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder, they... they also broke…" The time interval between the three tokens shattering is quite short. I'm afraid... it was the work of one individual!"

The disciple added tremulously upon hearing the Sect Leader's words.

"Nonsense! The Third Elder is already at the ninth level of the Return to Void Realm, just a step away from breaking through to the Annihilation Realm. How could he perish in the Moro Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Master Luo Wu suddenly erupted in anger! Losing Zhang Tianze, their chief disciple, was already a painful price he couldn't bear.

If they lost two Return to Void Realm elders and even the Third Elder at the ninth level of that realm, he felt like he was about to spit blood!

A mere Moro Kingdom, where the strongest were only at the fourth level of the Return to Void Realm. How could such a puny place cause such a tremendous loss to their Luo Heaven Sect?

"Disciple… what disciple said is all true."

The disciple sensed the anger emanating from the Sect Leader and buried his head even lower. However, the fact that the tokens of two elders and the chief disciple were shattered was undeniable. Besides reporting truthfully, what else could he do?

"You may leave for now. Don't spread this matter outside."

After a prolonged silence, Master Luo Wu finally waved his hand at the disciple, dismissing him. Then he looked over the numerous elders present.

As they felt the Sect Leader's gaze, they all lowered their heads with a touch of fear.

They knew this time the Sect Leader was truly angered.

Losing two elders, along with the chief disciple Zhang Tianze, especially right before the secret realm opened… Even if they wanted to find someone to replace Zhang Tianze temporarily, there was simply not enough time!

"Second Elder, you go to the Moro Kingdom and thoroughly investigate who harmed Tian'er and the two elders. I, Master Luo Wu, will definitely tear that person into a thousand pieces!!!

"Additionally, with our sect encountering such a situation in the Moro Kingdom, the Moro Emperor cannot escape responsibility. Punish him accordingly. If he doesn't know how to behave... hmph!"

Master Luo Wu's gaze finally landed on the Second Elder, and he issued the command with an icy tone.

The words were filled with murderous intent, and he was gritting his teeth, wishing to slay the culprit immediately!

"Yes, I will handle it!"

The Second Elder hastily bowed and swiftly exited the hall, heading towards the direction of the Moro Kingdom.

"For now, let's keep this matter quiet. As for the secret realm, I'll make further plans. All of you, disperse!"

After the Second Elder left, Master Luo Wu spoke one last sentence before getting up and leaving on his own, brushing his sleeves as he went.

Left behind were the bewildered elders, sighing and shaking their heads. Each of them dispersed and went their separate ways.

.......…

One day later, a captivating figure swiftly shuttled through the Illusory Mountain, her voluptuous and curvy body undulating with each step.

"Why aren't these Illusory Beasts attacking me this time in the Illusory Mountain?"

Leng Yanran was puzzled. Last time she entered the Illusory Mountain, whenever these Illusory Beasts saw her and the three assassins, they would charge at them instantly.

But this time, these Illusory Beasts seemed to be avoiding her. No, that's not all. On her way down the mountain, she also wasn't harassed by any of the Illusory Mountain’s Beasts!

At that time, she was in a hurry to return to the Family and didn't pay much attention to this detail. Now, thinking back, it seemed rather peculiar!

With this thought, Leng Yanran couldn't help but pause her steps for a moment, sensing the aura of an Illusory Beast. Instead of avoiding it, she directly pursued it!

A moment later, a fierce tiger-like beast, standing at least seven to eight meters tall, appeared before her. However, after the tiger glanced at her, it seemed to have seen a terrifying existence and immediately turned around and fled for its life!

"This... This Tiger King should at least have the strength of the Return to Void Realm. Why is it so afraid of me?" Leng Yanran wondered.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Leng Yanran thought of something and looked down at the jade pendant her Master had given her, hanging around her chest.

The only possibility was that it had something to do with this jade pendant her Master gave her!

Having confirmed that the Illusory Mountain’s Beasts were indeed avoiding her, Leng Yanran dashed once again towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao Pavillion. Now, she no longer needed to be vigilant against sudden attacks from the beasts, making her journey much more relaxed!

It wasn’t until Leng Yanran left for half a stick of incense, the Return to Void Realm beast, the Tiger King, finally let out a long sigh of relief, looking in the direction she had left with gratitude.

"Why does she have the aura of that palace… We can't provoke her... we can't provoke her..."

The ferocious Beasts in the Illusory Mountain knew about the palace halfway up the mountain. Their instincts kept them from approaching the palace within ten miles, as if an ancient terrifying monster resided there.

Just looking at the palace from afar made these Beasts prostrate on the ground, shivering in fear!

Now that Leng Yanran carried the aura of the Heavenly Dao Palace, these Beasts naturally evaded her. Not to mention actively provoking her, they didn't even have time to flee.

Leng Yanran, who had become much faster, returned to the vicinity of the palace in no time.

Seeing the figure sitting quietly in the small pavilion, she felt that the grievances she had hidden in her heart were becoming hard to contain!

It was like a bullied child, holding back her grievances, and upon returning home to her elders, her nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears!

"Back already?"

Chen Daoxuan had already noticed his disciple's return and warmly waved her over, gesturing for her to take a seat before speaking.

"Master…"
