Chapter 148 – Ye Tianshen, Greetings, Madam~!

In Front of a Pharmacy in Nanli City

“Excuse me, doctor, has my husband come to your pharmacy to purchase any medicinal herbs in the past few days?”

Luo Ruying stepped forward and politely inquired the elderly physician inside the pharmacy.

“Greetings, Fairy Luo. Your husband hasn’t come to my pharmacy to buy any medicinal herbs these days.”

“In fact, your husband has never been here before.”

The elderly physician of the pharmacy greeted her with a smile.

Luo Ruying’s beauty and strength were already well-known throughout Nanli City. Coupled with the recent rumors about Luo Hongye’s exceptional talent, there was hardly anyone who didn’t recognize Luo Ruying and her family.

“Is that so? Thank you for letting me know…”

Hearing that Ning Yechen had never been to the pharmacy, Luo Ruying’s expression turned thoughtful, and she nodded gratefully.

She had already visited almost all the famous pharmacies in Nanli City, and they all said they had never seen Ning Yechen…

He lied to me again…

Luo Ruying slowly walked out of the pharmacy, her eyebrows furrowed in contemplation as she strolled down the street.

Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed through the clear sky, pulling her back from her thoughts.

Like everyone else on the street, Luo Ruying looked up towards the direction of the lightning strike.

When she realized it was her own residence, her pupils contracted, and her expression turned to shock.

“Husband…!”

Luo Ruying’s heart filled with anxiety, and she immediately soared into the sky, rushing towards her home.

At that moment, celestial gates opened in the sky, and figures with heavenly immortal appearances descended!

They’ve finally come!

Luo Ruying’s brows furrowed tightly, her expression more serious than ever, as she continued to fly towards her home.

There was no doubt about it, this display of power was aimed directly at her!

“Luo Shen Empress, long time no see!”

An elderly man, clad in a yellow-brown robe, with a long beard and a celestial mark between his brows, descended from the sky and steadily blocked Luo Ruying’s path.

“Elder Yan Jian?!”

Luo Ruying’s beautiful face paled with shock upon seeing the old man, her heart sinking like a stone.

The elder before her was Dao Xian Yanjian, one of the six great Celestial Law Elders of the Dao Immortal Clan, possessing Immortal Emperor cultivation!

She hadn’t expected that the Dao Immortal Clan would go so far as to violate the rules of the Heavenly Realm and descend to the mortal world in full force just to deal with her!

Even one of the six great Celestial Law Elders had personally come!

Although she knew there was no chance of victory, Luo Ruying’s expression remained resolute as she drew the Luo Divine Sword and faced Dao Xian Yanjian.

“Hahaha, as expected of the former Luo Shen Empress~”

“Even with your current Heaven Human Realm cultivation, you still dare to challenge this old man?”

“Could it be that the steward and two disciples from my Dao Immortal Clan were also killed by the Luo Shen Empress?”

“If that’s the case, then my Dao Immortal Clan has truly underestimated you, Luo Shen Empress.”

Dao Xian Yanjian stroked his long beard, a smile on his face, not taking Luo Ruying seriously at all.

Even though his cultivation was restricted in the mortal realm due to the Heavenly Dao’s constraints, his profound cultivation and extraordinary celestial arts were more than enough to deal with a Heaven Human Realm cultivator.

As long as he was willing, he could crush Luo Ruying with a single hand right now!

“I’ve never seen any steward or disciples from the Dao Immortal Clan!”

“If your Dao Immortal Clan wants to take my life, then just do it directly. There’s no need to make up such excuses.”

Luo Ruying pointed her sword at Dao Xian Yanjian and said sternly.

Dao Xian Yanjian chuckled, not taking her words to heart.

Now that they had personally descended to the mortal realm, how Dao Tianming and the two disciples disappeared didn’t matter as much.

The important thing was to find Luo Ruying and her daughter.

“Luo Shen Empress, at this point, I still advise you to hand over the child.”

“My Dao Immortal Clan only wants the child.”

“As long as you hand her over, I can persuade that esteemed individual to stop pursuing you.”

“After that, whether you want to stay in the mortal realm or go elsewhere, my Dao Immortal Clan won’t interfere.”

“You won’t have to live in hiding anymore. What do you say?”

Dao Xian Yanjian extended his hand, offering Luo Ruying the Dao Immortal Clan’s final act of mercy.

“You want the child? Over my dead body!”

Luo Ruying’s eyes flashed with determination, and her golden celestial energy erupted from her body without reservation!

Behind her, a magnificent and resplendent female deity, clad in celestial armor, manifested!

“Hmph… Stubborn fool!”

“In that case, don’t blame this old man for disregarding our past relationship!”

“Even if I kill you, my Dao Immortal Clan can still find that girl in the city!”

“Your decision is not only meaningless but will also cause the deaths of millions of mortals in this city because of you!”

Dao Xian Yanjian’s powerful brown spiritual energy burst forth with a loud shout!

The overwhelming spiritual pressure completely suppressed Luo Ruying, weighing down on her shoulders like countless mountains!

Luo Ruying’s forehead dripped with cold sweat. She had to thrust her celestial sword into the void to barely keep herself from kneeling.

The difference in cultivation was too vast; she had no power to fight back!

Just resisting the spiritual pressure was already pushing her to her limits…!

Luo Ruying gritted her teeth, feeling a deep sense of despair. Her beautiful eyes looked towards the distant courtyard where Ning Yechen was.

I wonder if he’s alright…

And what about the child…?

“Farewell, Luo Shen Empress!”

“Your divine soul, I shall claim it!”

Dao Xian Yanjian casually tossed a small stone. The stone expanded rapidly in mid-air, transforming into a massive boulder that hurtled towards Luo Ruying!

If this giant celestial stone were to hit the ground, at least hundreds of thousands of people in Nanli City would die!

The Dao Immortal Clan had never intended to spare anyone in the city!

They planned to wipe Nanli City off the map entirely!

Luo Ruying desperately resisted the pressure, raising her celestial sword, ready to face this deadly celestial stone head-on!

“Foolish!”

“If you were at your peak cultivation, I might have been somewhat wary, but the current Luo Shen Empress is nothing but a title without substance!”

Dao Xian Yanjian pushed his palm forward, accelerating the stone’s descent towards Luo Ruying.

However, just as the stone was about to crush Luo Ruying, and she was prepared to fight to the death, a colorful beam of light suddenly shot up from the ground, instantly shattering the celestial stone into ashes!

The beam pierced through the stone and grazed past Dao Xian Yanjian, nearly taking his life!

Wh-What…?!

Dao Xian Yanjian was startled, his expression filled with shock and disbelief as he looked towards the ground.

Luo Ruying was also puzzled and turned to look at the source of the beam.

This beam, the aura of demonic energy…

Ye Tianshen, still wearing his barbecue stall apron, slowly ascended into the air and walked gracefully to Luo Ruying’s side.

The spiritual pressure that had been weighing down on Luo Ruying was completely neutralized by Ye Tianshen!

Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and shock as she looked at Ye Tianshen beside her.

Wasn’t he the owner of that barbecue stall with the delicious food…?

She had even taken her child there often.

Ye Tianshen paid no attention to Dao Xian Yanjian. Instead, he placed a hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Luo Ruying, and said respectfully,

“Commander of the First Legion of the Demon Realm, the First Demon God, Ye Tianshen, greets Madam~!”
