Chapter 357: 12 episodes, 47 Chapters, granddaughter
"Xue Tianya." Ao Wuming saw the person coming, a smile inevitably appearing on his face, "I didn’t expect this ’Xue Yi’ called the Demon Emperor to actually be the son of the Blood Demon Emperor. I remember... your Blood Demon Emperor had a daughter, when did you have a son?"
Xue Tianya looked like a refined young man in his twenties, clad in a robe of purest white, without a speck of dust.
"Son, daughter?" Xue Tianya glanced at ’Xue Yi’ beside him, the Demon Emperor ’Xue Yi’ still sporting a cold demeanor, even when facing his father.
"He is my son, as for the daughter... she is merely my adopted daughter." Xue Tianya said indifferently.
"Adopted daughter, adopted daughter, hmph!" A cold snort came from beside Ao Wuming.
Xue Tianya looked over, his expression slightly changing, yet still retaining a hint of a smile: "Luo Yu, you are here too."
Jun Luoyu just snorted coldly without responding.
"Blood Demon Emperor, is it?" Jiang Yan stepped beside Jun Luoyu, staring at Xue Tianya, "You, the Blood Demon Emperor, a great figure indeed. Initially, your daughter and my Brother Luo Yu were in good terms, but why did you later make your daughter marry your son?"
"She is my adopted daughter." Xue Tianya corrected.
Jiang Yan snorted, "I know she is your adopted daughter, but Sister Ah Jiao and Brother Luo Yu met first, and they fell in love first. How could you ruthlessly separate them? Even to the extent of letting this Xue Yi kill Sister Ah Jiao in the end."
"Young lady, although you have your grandmother as a supporter, you should know how to speak politely when talking to your elders, understand?" Xue Tianya’s voice naturally carried an air of authority.
In the past, Jiang Yan’s grandmother had informed the peak experts of the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World about Jiang Yan’s looks and aura, and Xue Tianya was one of them. Therefore, the moment Xue Tianya saw Jiang Yan, he knew she was that ’fortunate young girl’, and he also felt the situation was troublesome.
In the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, there were few people who could cause Xue Tianya a headache.
The Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan was one, the Hidden Emperor could barely be considered another, and Jiang Yan’s mysterious grandmother was also one.
"Xue Tianya."
Jun Luoyu finally spoke, his eyes reddening, "Listen to me, you have no right to be Ah Jiao’s father, nor do you have any right to talk about Ah Jiao. I hope you never mention Ah Jiao again because it makes me sick just hearing it!"
"No father would do such a thing to his daughter, no father would be so cruel, so ruthless." Jun Luoyu’s entire body was somewhat trembling, "If it weren’t for Ah Jiao’s last wish that I promise not to seek revenge against you for my lifetime, I would definitely kill you."
Jun Luoyu hated.
He hated the ’Blood Demon Emperor’ Xue Tianya, but how could he not fulfill his lover’s last request?
"Jun Luoyu." Xue Yi spoke coldly, "You and Ah Jiao had feelings, but you were not yet husband and wife. When father bestowed Ah Jiao upon me, she became my wife. When you continued your affair, was I wrong to kill Ah Jiao? What right do you have to continue this nonsense?"
"Enough."
Xue Tianya’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, then he smiled at Ao Wuming: "I’ve made brother Wuming witness a farce."
"Not funny at all." Ao Wuming replied with a light smile, Xue Tianya feeling somewhat annoyed internally.
Having listened for a long time, Qin Yu finally understood the whole story.
Ah Jiao was Xue Tianya’s adopted daughter, and she and Jun Luoyu loved each other. As the Blood Demon Emperor, Xue Tianya could not have been unaware of this, and likely did not stop it initially. However, later when Demon Emperor ’Xue Yi’ took a liking to Ah Jiao, he had his father give Ah Jiao to him.
Xue Tianya did not hesitate to bestow Ah Jiao upon the Demon Emperor "Xue Yi."
Afterward, during a meeting between Ah Jiao and Jun Luoyu, Xue Yi stumbled upon them. Xue Yi, furious, wanted to kill Ah Jiao, while Jun Luoyu was too weak to resist.
Before her death, Ah Jiao pleaded with Xue Yi to spare Jun Luoyu. She also implored Jun Luoyu not to seek revenge on her father. It seemed that Ah Jiao still harbored deep feelings for her father, "Xue Tianya."
"Ah Jiao is a pitiful soul, so is Brother Luo Yu, and this ’Xue Yi’ is a brute. As for Xue Tianya..." Mr. Qin Yu was uncertain in his heart—he possesses feelings? He arranged Ah Jiao’s life at will, disregarding her own desires. Can Xue Tianya be considered unfeeling? Yet, he cares deeply for his son ’Xue Yi.’
"Let’s not talk about this anymore," Xue Tianya said with a hint of anger in his expression. "Jun Luoyu, listen well, Ah Jiao was raised by me, I am effectively her father, thus I naturally have the right to decide whom she marries. And since Xue Yi is Ah Jiao’s husband, he naturally has the right to decide her fate. This is indisputable."
"As for you, Jun Luoyu, just because you say Ah Jiao is your wife, does that make her your wife?" Xue Tianya said with a faint smile. "You’re far too presumptuous. You want to kill Xue Yi? Let me tell you, as long as I live, you shall never succeed."
Xue Tianya glanced at the Demon Emperor ’Xue Yi’ standing beside him, a trace of affection flickering in his eyes.
Xue Tianya felt that he owed his son greatly, as Xue Yi was lost as an infant and grew up among beasts until he matured and became a master. Only then did Xue Tianya find his son again.
This caused a longstanding rift between ’Xue Yi’ and Xue Tianya. Even the name ’Xue Yi,’ given by Xue Tianya, was renamed by Xue Yi himself.

Among the bamboo groves.
"Big Brother, that Demon Emperor ’Xue Yi’ is demanding Lin’er to accompany his disciple in death. How can you remain so calm and uninvolved?" asked the Black Immortal Emperor among the Black and White Double Emperors.
Lin Yin had a slight smile on his face: "Isn’t the story becoming more interesting now? Besides, it’s time for Lin’er to understand the dangers. We can intervene at the last moment, not a moment too soon."
"The last moment? Big Brother, aren’t you afraid that Lin’er will end up like her parents..." The White Immortal Emperor had barely spoken when Lin Yin’s expression changed.
Lin Yin, a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor.
Throughout the entire realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts, there are very few who dare belittle him. Yet, thousands of years ago, his son and daughter-in-law were killed in a conflict on a massive planet within the Blue Bay Star Domain called ’Mingling Star.’
From that day forth, the Blue Bay Star Domain no longer had ’Mingling Star.’
All the supreme masters knew that an enraged Lin Yin directly blew Mingling Star into fragments, causing countless lives within the star to accompany his son and daughter-in-law in death.
Nobody could imagine that Lin Yin, always genteel and scholarly, could also have such a brutal side.
"Younger Brother, you need not worry. As long as Lin’er is within the Hidden Emperor Star, absolutely no one can harm her," Lin Yin stated coldly.
The Black Immortal Emperor and White Immortal Emperor exchanged glances and said no more.
"That Xue Yi, Xue Tianya should discipline him properly. He really thinks he can demand anyone to accompany him in death." Lin Yin said coldly, his gaze then shooting toward the direction of East Star City.
With Lin Yin’s strength, he could instantly reach the site of the incident.

Countless people in East Star City were spectating from afar, yet within a hundred miles of where Xue Tianya, Ao Wuming, Qin Yu, and Jun Luoyu were, not a single person was present—all were beyond a hundred miles out.
"Brother Wu Ming, this matter began over a trivial matter. Let’s clarify the details before we make any decisions, alright?" Xue Tianya said with a smile.
Ao Wuming nodded in agreement.
"Xue Yi, what exactly happened?" Xue Tianya looked towards Xue Yi.
Xue Yi said indifferently, "I am not entirely clear on the facts. All I know is that my disciple, ’Guo Nu,’ fell in love with a girl and wanted to make her his Daoist partner. Then, this Qin Yu intervened and killed my disciple, Guo Nu."
"Qin Yu?" When Xue Tianya heard this name, his gaze shifted towards Qin Yu. He just glanced at him and said no more.
Among the envoys from the Upper Realm who descended into the Mortal World was Blood Demon Du Zhongjun, whom Xue Tianya had dispatched. After leaving the Ni Yang Realm, Du Zhongjun also reported back the events of the Mortal World to Xue Tianya. Therefore, Xue Tianya was still very sensitive to the name "Qin Yu."
"Guo Nu, no wonder." Xue Tianya understood in his heart.
He realized why his own son was so enraged.
It turned out to be Guo Nu, who had a childhood nearly similar to that of his own son. Xue Tianya knew well that his son always had a barrier between them, yet he got along well with Guo Nu.
Perhaps, in the heart of Xue Yi, Guo Nu’s status might match or even surpass that of Xue Tianya.
"Xue Yi, what about that girl you mentioned?" Xue Tianya asked.
"She has been taken into Qin Yu’s Immortal Mansion," Xue Yi looked towards Qin Yu.
Xue Tianya’s heart stirred, then he smiled at Qin Yu, "Qin Yu, could you let that girl out of your Immortal Mansion for now? Don’t worry, with Brother Wu Ming here, I won’t resort to violence."
Qin Yu looked towards Ao Wuming.
"After all, the Blood Demon Emperor is an influential figure; his words hold weight. Brother Qin Yu, please let the girl out," Ao Wuming said with a smile.
Qin Yu nodded, then allowed Lin Lin and Sisi to come out of the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.
Lin Lin and Sisi suddenly appeared next to Qin Yu.
"That girl in green must be the one Guo Nu was fond of," Xue Tianya said with a smile.
"Ladies, don’t worry, you are safe now. After all, Xue Tianya is the Blood Demon Emperor. He is a man of stature and won’t go back on his word," Qin Yu said to Lin Lin and Sisi.
"Thank you, sir," said Lin Lin, who was shocked at the realization that the man in white was the Blood Demon Emperor; she also wondered why not a single one from her group of senior martial brothers and her grandfather had shown up.
Xue Tianya said with a smile, "Young lady, Guo Nu wanted to make you his wife, is that right?"
"Yes," Lin Lin nodded.
"And then Qin Yu killed Guo Nu?" Xue Tianya asked further.
"Mr. Qin Yu killed Guo Nu to save me," Lin Lin hastened to explain.
Xue Tianya, smiling, turned to Ao Wuming, "Brother Wu Ming, having heard both sides, I believe we understand what transpired. Guo Nu’s insistence on Lin Lin becoming his Daoist partner was indeed wrong but not deserving of death. Moreover... this has nothing to do with Qin Yu. Qin Yu killed Guo Nu without any provocation, and as the saying goes, ’a life for a life’..."
"Murder for a life?" Ao Wuming’s gaze turned cold.
Qin Yu’s expression also changed.
This Xue Tianya was actually targeting him. Since opening the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Yu had no longer feared anyone, which was why he dared to openly use the Divine Artifact Battle Clothes.
"Murder for a life?" Lin Lin stepped forward, "Blood Demon Emperor, that Guo Nu insisted on having me as his Daoist Partner, even going as far as trying to capture me. Mr. Qin Yu acted only to save me, and even showed mercy several times. It was just that Guo Nu said ’either you die or I perish’, leaving Mr. Qin Yu no choice but to kill Guo Nu in the end. Does the Blood Demon Emperor think Mr. Qin Yu should have allowed Guo Nu to kill him without fighting back?"
"Young girl, you dare to interrupt me?" Xue Tianya only swept his gaze over her, causing Lin Lin to shudder and her face to pale.
As the Blood Demon Emperor, and with Lin Lin being only a Third-level Heavenly Immortal, when had Xue Tianya ever considered her worth his notice?
"Xue Tianya, can’t my granddaughter speak righteously?" a voice filled with anger sounded.
A figure in green clothes, a figure in white clothes, and a figure in black clothes appeared almost at the same time. The comers were none other than the Hidden Emperor and the Black and White Double Emperors.
"Grandfather, Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather." Lin Lin, seeing the arrivals, immediately leaped towards them and plunged directly into Lin Yin’s arms.
"Senior Lin," Ao Wu Ming immediately bowed upon seeing the comers.
At the same time, a faint smile appeared on Ao Wu Ming’s face as he thought to himself, "So the story of the Hidden Emperor’s son and daughter-in-law dying, leaving behind a baby, is true. The Hidden Emperor really hid it well. Blood Demon Emperor, you are so arrogant, let’s see you be arrogant now."
"Qin Yu, Jun Luoyu, Jiang Yan, come, let me introduce to you, this is Senior Hidden Emperor, these two are Senior Black Immortal Emperor, Senior White Immortal Emperor," Ao Wu Ming said with a beaming smile.
Qin Yu, Jun Luoyu, and Jiang Yan all showed smiles and stepped forward to greet them respectfully.
At this moment, Xue Tianya just smiled and shook his head, "Brother Lin, I really didn’t expect this, truly didn’t expect that this girl is your granddaughter. Brother Lin, you’ve kept the news about your granddaughter quite confidential; I didn’t even know you had a granddaughter."
Xue Tianya still wore a smile, but Lin Yin’s expression was icy cold.
"Xue Tianya, today your son Xue Yi was in the wrong. Do you think... your son should decide who dies for his disciple, even wanting my granddaughter to die for him, huh? Being overbearing over my granddaughter," Lin Yin did not mince words.
Xue Tianya’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Xue Yi, come out and apologize to Miss Lin," Xue Tianya said with a cold voice.
Dealing with this matter for his son today made Xue Tianya actually very uncomfortable. First, it would offend Ao Wuming, and second, it would offend Jiang Yan’s grandmother behind her; just these two alone would be troublesome, and now the Hidden Emperor turned up as well.
The Hidden Emperor was too powerful, not only is he a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, but his two friends, the Black and White Double Emperors, are both Eighth Level Immortal Emperors.
Xue Yi’s brows furrowed, he thought over a lot in an instant, but eventually gritted his teeth, stepped forward, bowed his head, and said, "Miss Lin, I was wrong this time, I hope Miss Lin can forgive me."
Qin Yu and the others could see the veins on the forehead of the Demon Emperor ’Xue Yi’ bulging out, evidently holding back his anger.
