"What are you talking about?" Grandpa Lan looked at the Demon Lord with a puzzled expression.
However, the Demon Lord completely ignored Grandpa Lan and continued to stare at Yuan’s figure with disbelief.
"A mask! That sword! After so many years, you have finally decided to return to the Mystic Realm— Lord!" A massive smile appeared on the Demon Lord’s face, but there was also a hint of fear in its eyes.
"What?!" Grandpa Lan exclaimed in a shocked voice when he heard the Demon Lord addressed Yuan as ’Lord’.
"I won’t forget the humiliation you had put me through on that day no matter how many years passes, Lord!" The Demon Lord suddenly flew towards Yuan’s location.
"Watch out!" Grandpa Lan shouted loudly to warn Yuan and the others of the Demon Lord’s presence.
"Huh?" Yuan turned around at Grandpa Lan’s voice, and to his surprise, the Demon Lord in the sky was flying in their direction!
BOOM!
The Demon Lord punched Yuan with all of its might, as it didn’t want to risk this chance to take him by surprise.
Luckily for Yuan, Grandpa Lan had warned him right before the Demon Lord made his strike, giving him a split second to react and protect himself with the Empyrean Overlord.
However, the impact was an entirely different matter, and Yuan was sent flying many meters away, crashing into trees and destroying them with his back.
Yuan managed to stabilize himself after flying about two hundred meters.
*Cough*
He coughed up a mouthful of blood afterward.
’What a powerful strike! If I hadn’t blocked that attack, I would’ve probably died just now!’ Yuan’s body trembled at that thought, yet his eyes didn’t have even a hint of fear within them.
Instead, it flickered with excitement, as he has never been pushed to such an extent before.
"Yuan! Are you okay?!" Lan Yingying quickly approached him.
"Yes, I’m fine." Yuan nodded.
"Yuan? Wait a second, you’re not the Lord. Who are you? And where did you get that sword?" The Demon Lord finally noticed Yuan’s cultivation base that was too low to be the Lord and stopped its assault.
A second later, both grandparents stood between Yuan and the Demon Lord.
"If that young man was the Lord, he would’ve killed you as easily as breathing!" Grandpa Lan said.
"Then he must be a descendant of the Lord! After all, that sword in his hand belongs to the Lord!" The Demon Lord revealed, as it will never forget the devastation that sword had caused the demons.
"What?! Really?!"
The Lan Family expressed shock upon learning this since even they didn’t know that the sword in Yuan’s hand once belonged to the Lord!
’Is that why I felt some sort of connection to it?’ Lan Yingying finally realized why she was attracted to the sword. It turned out to be the Lord’s sword.
