Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

After the billowing smoke dissipated, the figure of the Night Demon disappeared into the air, as if he had never existed. Only his unwilling roar still echoed in his ears.

Lu Yuan stared at all this in a daze, feeling lost for a moment. The woman in white slowly turned around, and at that moment, her face clearly appeared in Lu Yuan's vision under the moonlight. Her fairy-like face was very similar to Nangong Wan'er.

"You..." Lu Yuan was full of doubts, his lips moved slightly, but he could hardly utter a complete sentence.

The woman walked to Lu Yuan's side with light steps, calmly and leisurely, as if everything was under control. She said softly: "Lu Yuan, this matter is over, we still have a lot to talk about."

Lu Yuan's heart suddenly jumped, and he felt a strange premonition. What kind of shocking secret would she bring to him? At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, and a dark shadow seemed to be looming on the distant mountain top. The disaster has not yet gone, and a new conspiracy is coming?

Lu Yuan felt his breathing stagnate, as if an invisible hand had grabbed his throat. The woman's appearance was so similar to the Nangong Wan'er he had been dreaming about. Could it be... could it be that Wan'er had resurrected? He couldn't help but hold his breath, fearing that he would disturb this dreamlike scene.

The woman walked in front of Lu Yuan with lotus steps, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, just like a spring breeze blowing, making people feel relaxed and happy. "Lu Yuan," her voice was crisp and pleasant, as beautiful as wind chimes, "Long time no see."

"You...you are Wan'er?" Lu Yuan's voice trembled, with a hint of unbelievable surprise and a hint of deep fear. He was afraid that this was just an illusion, a delusion caused by his day and night thoughts.

The woman chuckled and did not answer directly. Instead, she stretched out her slender jade finger and gently touched Lu Yuan's brow. "Silly, you can't even recognize me?"

A warm current flowed into Lu Yuan's mind, and countless fragments of memory emerged like a tide, perfectly overlapping with the voice, appearance and smile of the woman in front of him. It was really Wan'er! It was really her!
Lu Yuan was filled with ecstasy. He hugged the girl tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own flesh and blood. "Wan'er, it's really you! You... you're still alive!"

The woman patted Lu Yuan's back gently and said softly, "Okay, okay, I'm back now. Let's deal with the important things first."

Lu Yuan then remembered the looming black shadow on the distant mountaintop, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. He let go of the woman and asked, "Wan'er, what is that black shadow? Could it be that the Night Demon Envoy is still alive?"

The woman shook her head, her expression solemn. "I'm afraid it's more difficult than the Night Demon Envoy. It's... the Netherworld Ghost King."

"Ghost King of the Netherworld?" Lu Yuan's heart sank. He had seen this name in ancient books. It was said that he was an evil king in ancient times who had the power to destroy the world. Later, he was sealed in the Netherworld. Could it be that... the seal was lifted?
"That's right," the woman seemed to see through Lu Yuan's thoughts, "The Netherworld Ghost King has escaped, and his target... is you."

Lu Yuan was shocked and asked, "Why? I don't know him at all, why is he targeting me?"

The woman sighed and said, "Because... you are the chosen one."

"The Chosen One?" Lu Yuan was confused. He felt like a chess piece being played by fate. One moment he was Nangong Wan'er's reincarnated lover, and the next moment he was the Chosen One. What was going on?

“Yuan’er, now is not the time to explain,” the woman’s tone suddenly became serious, “We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the Netherworld Ghost King arrives.”

"Okay," Lu Yuan agreed without hesitation, and he took the woman's hand and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, his father suddenly stopped them.

"Yuan'er, wait a minute," Lu Yuan's father's face was pale, his eyes full of worry, "Is this girl...really Wan'er?"

Lu Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect his father to ask this question. He was about to explain, but the woman said first: "Uncle, I know you have doubts in your heart, but time is tight now. I will explain everything to you after we are safe." Lu Yuan's father looked at the woman with complicated eyes, and finally nodded. "Okay, I believe you."

The three of them quickly left the top of the mountain and ran down the mountain. However, what they didn't know was that the speed of the Nether Ghost King was far beyond their imagination, and a black shadow was approaching them at an alarming speed.

Just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Want to leave? Not that easy!"

Lu Yuan turned around suddenly and saw a man in a black robe with a hideous face floating in the air, emitting a suffocating and terrifying aura. It was the Ghost King of the Netherworld!
"Wan'er, be careful!" Lu Yuan protected the woman behind him and pushed his father aside.

The Netherworld Ghost King sneered and said, "Son of Heaven's Chosen One, just surrender obediently, or... don't blame me for being rude!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable. He mobilized his spiritual power and prepared for the battle.

"You pretentious bastard, who do you think you are? The Ghost King of the Netherworld? Today I will let you know what it means to be invincible!" Lu Yuan sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

The Netherworld Ghost King was furious. He had never thought that this ant-like mortal would dare to challenge him like this. He roared, wielded the black sword in his hand, and slashed at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not dodge or evade, but went straight forward. He clenched his right fist and punched out, colliding with the black sword of the Netherworld Ghost King.

boom!
There was a loud noise, deafening.

Lu Yuan was knocked back several steps, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. However, the Nether Ghost King remained motionless, with a playful smile on his face.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The Ghost King of the Netherworld snorted coldly and swung his sword to attack again.

Lu Yuan knew that he was no match for the Netherworld Ghost King, but he did not give up. He dodged the Netherworld Ghost King's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

At this moment, the woman suddenly said: "Lu Yuan, use your 'Heavenly Punishment'!"

"Heavenly punishment?" Lu Yuan was stunned. He almost forgot that he still had this trump card.

"Heavenly Punishment" is a forbidden technique passed down from the ancestors of the Lu family. It is extremely powerful, but the conditions for its use are extremely harsh and require a large amount of vitality. Lu Yuan will not use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

But now, he has no choice.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.

As the spell was chanted, Lu Yuan's body began to emit a dazzling light, and a powerful force burst out from his body. (End of this chapter)
