He could also enter other worlds to hide for a while.
Very soon, he arrived at the lakeside pavilion where You Ruo resided.
The lakeside pavilion was one of the most hidden places within the Tianxia Society. Besides himself, only Wen Chouchou knew of this place, making it extrely well-concealed.
When Xiong Ba stepped into the lakeside pavilion, You Ruo was sitting inside the house, gazing boredly into the distance.
Seeing her father arrive, a gleam of light flashed through her eyes. She hurriedly got up and called out.
“Dad, you’re here!”
Xiong Ba nodded, looking at his daughter who had grown up into a graceful young woman, a rare trace of tenderness surfacing in his heart.
“You Ruo, have you been doing well here at the lakeside pavilion lately?”
He asked.
You Ruo’s expression instantly darkened.
Having been imprisoned in the lakeside pavilion by her father for over ten years, she was long fed up and deeply yearned for the outside world.
“Dad, you really don’t know how I’ve been living here?”
She asked with resentnt in her tone.
Xiong Ba looked apologetic.
“Daughter, I’ve wronged you in the past. But the outside world is too dangerous, with many enemies. If you go out, it’s hard to avoid danger.”
“Dad! I’m not weak anymore. Ordinary people are no match for at all. Just let out!”
You Ruo rebutted anxiously.
She had only asked tentatively, expecting to be rejected. But unexpectedly, her father fell silent.
Contrary to her expectations, Xiong Ba did not reject her as he usually did.
A glimr of hope rose in You Ruo’s heart.
Could it be that this ti, her father would really let her leave?
She quickly acted coquettishly.
“Dad, just let go out!”
Xiong Ba looked at his daughter. After a brief silence, he slowly said,
“You Ruo, the Tianxia Society is about to face a great crisis. Whether we can survive it is uncertain. Even I am not fully confident we can overco it. So, I plan to let you leave the Tianxia Society.”
Upon hearing this, You Ruo’s expression changed slightly.
She knew her father’s strength and was well aware of the foundation of the Tianxia Society. For a crisis to make even her father uneasy—how terrifying must it be?
“Dad, you’re not lying to , right? How could the Tianxia Society face such a crisis? With your martial skills, who in the world can rival you?”
She asked worriedly.
Xiong Ba shook his head and sighed.
“You Ruo, this world is far more complicated than what you’ve seen. There are plenty of experts stronger than . This crisis is unlike anything before. I can agree to let you leave, but you must follow my arrangents and find a place to hide.”
Upon hearing this, You Ruo hesitated instead.
Although she yearned for freedom, she cared more about her father’s safety and didn’t want to leave him in a ti of crisis.
You Ruo urgently asked,
“Dad, is there really no other way? Also, who is that powerful figure threatening to attack the Tianxia Society?”
Xiong Ba looked at You Ruo and said in a deep voice,
“You’ve heard of him before—his na is Duan Lang.”
“Dad, who did you say? Duan Lang?”
You Ruo’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Isn’t he just a nial disciple of the Tianxia Society?”
Previously, when Wen Chouchou visited the lakeside pavilion, he would update You Ruo on the affairs of the Tianxia Society, so she wasn’t unfamiliar with Duan Lang.
Xiong Ba didn’t bla You Ruo for her shocked expression.
He slowly explained,
“You Ruo, what you don’t know is that the Duan Lang you once knew was indeed just a nial disciple.
But the current him is no longer that sa person. The original Duan Lang is dead—his body has been possessed by an Outer Realm Demon.”
“After being possessed, Duan Lang imdiately defected from the Tianxia Society.
Over the past year, his strength has skyrocketed. He has subdued many martial experts in the north and has beco the leader of an alliance, a force not to be underestimated.
Even when I fought him, we only ended in a draw.”
You Ruo’s eyes widened in shock.
“Dad, are you telling a fairy tale? How could there be Outer Realm Demons in this world?”
Xiong Ba’s expression turned solemn as he silently looked at his daughter.
Seeing her father’s serious face, You Ruo’s doubts gradually faded.
Her tone also beca more solemn.
“Dad, are Outer Realm Demons real?”
Xiong Ba nodded firmly.
“Absolutely. These Outer Realm Demons play by no rules.
We martial artists cultivate step by step, often needing decades to achieve any results.
But they possess sothing called a ‘system’.
The system casually issues tasks, and as long as they're completed, the person receives generous rewards.
It’s precisely because of this that they’ve been able to grow stronger so quickly.”
Upon hearing this, You Ruo was both shocked and furious.
She couldn’t help but stand up and stomp her foot.
“Dad, this is just shaless! These systems are outright cheating!”
Xiong Ba wholeheartedly agreed and nodded in approval.
Then, You Ruo looked at Xiong Ba with a face full of confusion.
“Dad, how do you know about systems and Outer Realm Demons?”
Xiong Ba hesitated for a mont before he spoke.
“You Ruo, in truth, your father also received so fortune.”
Hearing this, You Ruo imdiately perked up, asking eagerly,
“Dad, did you also obtain a system or sothing like that?”
Xiong Ba shook his head calmly.
“Not a system. I accidentally joined Myriad Worlds Chat Group. This chat group connects all worlds and allows to communicate with powerful individuals from other realms.
It was through them that I learned about the existence of Outer Realm Demons and systems. That’s why I understand these things better.”
You Ruo nodded slowly.
“So that’s how it is.”
But soon, a puzzled expression returned to her face.
“Dad, where are you planning to send ?”
Xiong Ba didn’t answer right away. Instead, he turned his attention to the chat group.
Xiong Ba: “Lu Yu, are you there?”
Lu Yu: “Xiong Ba, what’s going on?”
Xiong Ba: “I want to ask—can the teleportation talisman in our chat group send people from our world to another group mber’s world?”
Lu Yu: “You’re planning to buy a teleportation suit and send soone away from your world?”
Xiong Ba: “Exactly. I have no more attachnts in this world. The only one I can’t let go of is my daughter, You Ruo. So I want to send her to another world to keep her safe.”
Lu Yu: “Hold on, I’ll ask the chat group.”
A mont later—
Lu Yu: “I’ve checked. The teleportation talisman can indeed send people from your world to others, but you need the group mber’s permission first.”
Xiong Ba: “I see. Thank you, Lu Yu.”
Lu Yu: “We’re all group mbers, no need to be so polite. Is the situation really that bad?”
Xiong Ba: “Yes. Duan Lang has beco the martial alliance leader of the north, gathering many sect masters and experts who were once oppressed by the Tianxia Society. He’s gained their support. I suspect he’ll attack the Tianxia Society soon, so I want to entrust my daughter to a group mber.”
Lu Yu: “Forget about our world—it’s too dangerous. Plus, the household registration system is strict; not suitable for your daughter.”
Xiong Ba: “Understood.”
Zhang Sanfeng: “Xiong Ba, our world is quite suitable. If you’re willing, you can send your daughter here.”
Xiong Ba: “Alright, thank you very much, Master Zhang!”
