King Of Seven Realms - Volume 3 Chapter 77 Su Ling'er.
Azure Demon Continent is the third continent on Blue Pole Star, also the one where Yun Che spent his second life.
It was filled with lush mountains and resources three million miles away from Profound Continent and Illusionary Demon Realm.
It had three strongest sects that rivaled Sacred Grounds in Profound Continent or used to rival, but since cultivators had an advantage called Guild on Profound Continent its overall strength has already outdone both continents; now standing at the top.
The three strongest sects being Heaven Thwarting Sect, Seven Stars Divine Palace, and Soaring Celestial Sword Sect. The strongest cultivation achieved by these three sects was Peak of Sovereign Profound Realm, which was enough to make them overlord of Azure Demon Continent.
But still, its overall strength was lower than Illusionary Demon Realm, making it weakest among the three.
In the far east of this continent was a country called Supwake Country. It has thirteen divine mountains, one of them being Grandwake Mountain located in the east of Supwake Country.
At the bottom of this mountain was Grandwake Clan the strongest clan in this region.
Since Grandwake Mountain was one of the divine mountains. It contained abundant resources that Grandwake Clan used for its nourishment.
On the east side of the Grandwake Clan was a forest, lush with greenery. Inside the forest, a girl that looked to in her early 10s, maybe 13 to 14 years of age, was running and gasping for breath.
She had a beautiful oval face, long black hair tied in a twin tail.
(A/N: It is a little different in the timeline at which it occurred from the connon.)
She ran faster and faster without any aim. She knew that she would die or even worse could happen to her if she were to stop as she was being followed by five people, each having the cultivation of Peak of Earth Realm.
“Where do you think you are running, little girl?” One of the pursuers said.
“Che! She is fast. Just what is her legs are made off?” One of them clicked his tongue in annoyance.
The girl becomes frightened, hearing them. She was already out of breath as she was running for some time now.
‘Father, save me!’ She thought in her mind.
Suddenly, she tripped from the branch of a tree that was protruding out of the earth. She lost her balance and fell straight ahead.
Scared, she closed her eyes, but to her surprise, she did not hit the ground but something fleshy.
Startled by sudden development, she opened her eyes and looked at the person she hit.
It was a young man with long silver hair tied in a ponytail. Two small horns were protruding from his head, giving him a unique air.
He looked down at her and smiled, gently, that made her heart skip a beat, “Are you alright, young lady?”
Silent took over as the girl did not know how to answer. But then she remembered that she was being followed and hurriedly said, “Hurry! Ran away from here! There are bad people following me; they will hurt you, big brother!”
She did not know who he was, but she also did not want him to get hurt because of her.
The young man, who of obviously Wang Lei, raised a brow. He smiled and said, “It is okay. Can you tell me what is going on?”
The girl, seeing her confident smile, calmed down. She did not know what, but there was something about this man that made her calm down.
It felt like even if the sky fell, he would shoulder it.
“I am being followed by the people of Blackwood Stronghold! They are very strong! You should run from here.” She said, trying to persuade him so at least he could run away.
Just as she finished speaking, her pursuer reached her. They saw Wang Lei close to the girl, but then their attention diverted towards AnBai, who was silently standing behind Wang Lei.
Note that she was from the Sword Spirt Clan, a clan of True Gods. Of course, her beauty was not something mortal could imagine.
If she were to put in God Realm, then she was sure to be considered one of the most beautiful people there.
That’s why when pursuers’ eyes fell upon her. They become stunned, not believing that such beauty can exist in this world.
The leader of the five, who was 1st of the Spirit Realm, seeing her had l.u.s.tful thoughts. He could not feel any profound energy on both of them.
He thought that they were just mortal from an influential family, roaming the area a really stupid thought process.
Smirking, he said, “Well, well, we should thank you, little girl, for bringing us to them. Oi! You there, pretty boy! Get away from these two, and I might let you leave with your life.”
As he finished speaking, he saw Wang Lei had trifled expression, “Please! We are just a mortal; please don’t hurt us.” He said as he took a step back.
When the cannon fodders saw this, their smiles widen, “Hehehe~, of course, we will let you leave, young master. Just leave that girl behind.”
Hearing it, Wang Lei gritted his teeth, “I cannot! She is my daughter! I cannot leave my daughter here.”
“Huh?” Hearing him, not only cannon fodders but even the little girl had dumbfounded expression.
How could a mortal have such a young daughter? Wang Lei looked to be in the twenties while AnBai looked to be in her late teens.
If he was a cultivator, then they might think that he was an old person. But he was not! They could not feel any ounce of energy from him. Then how can he have a child the same age as him?
AnBai, who was standing behind him, was looking at all of this with a stoic expression. Seeing her master’s antics, she did not know how to respond. So, she just went with the flow.
Making a terrifying expression, she said, “It is alright, father! You go and leave me! AnBai will complete her duty as a filial daughter and sacrifice herself for you!”
‘Wow! She is not badbut this is fun.’ Wang Lei thought as he fell on his knees, tears gushing out of his eyes, “I-I cannot, my daughter. What kind of father will I be if I left you with these monsters?!”
Going on one knee, AnBai creases his face gently, “This is fate, father. The person AnBai loves the most in this world is you, father. AnBai cannot let anything happened to yousoplease.”
“AnBai”
“Father”
Behind, the little girl was crying her eyes out. She was thinking that it was her fault that something horrible happened to a couple of father and daughter.
Seeing AnBai, she thought her situation was just like her. She could not help but sympathize with her.
Standing in front of them, she said, “Do not worry, big brother, big sister. It was Su Ling’er who brought this disaster on youI will protect both of you with my life!”
Wang Lei and AnBai looked at her and hugged her, “”Then we shall die together!””
The cannon fodders were making a different expression. Even if they were cultivators and were following orders, they felt terrible about themselves.
They never felt this disgusted by themselves before. How could they hurt a couple of such a beautiful family?
Except for the boss, others already had tears in their eyes.
