Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574: Chapter 575 Can You Give This Old Man Some Face [6/15]

Guang Changlin was one of Wu Tian’s friends from his first foray into the Immortal Emperor Realm. He had a decent name, but he was bald.

Indeed, he was a bald man with a round waist, a thick back, a wide face, and a square mouth—there was nothing handsome about him at all.

He was, however, fond of beautiful women and claimed he would work hard to marry one to improve his family’s looks.

And he truly was a god of wealth. Though proud by nature, he was witty and humorous. A gentleman who loved wealth, he obtained it through his own "Way"—which was to say, by deception. Yet, when he encountered the poor and destitute, Guang was generous, soft-hearted, and upright, and he detested villains.

Wu Tian now remembered: this Mount and Sea Slash was Guang the Baldy’s own martial arts technique.

What Wu Tian never expected was that the descendants of the baldy who had once been despised by everyone in Xiuyuan Country were now City Lords.

Mei Xinlan was stunned. It was true. Every year during the ancestral worship, they had to pay homage to the Guang Family’s ancestor, Guang Changlin.

Whether in statues or paintings, Guang Changlin was always bald.

But who would dare call him a bald man?

"Excellent!" Mei Xinlan laughed in fury. "Back then, Guang Changlin and the founding king were sworn brothers. Therefore, the position of City Lord is hereditary. His appearance is not for you to comment on. It seems you’re determined to die."

"Wait," Guang Lin said, stepping forward as a thought occurred to him. "Auntie, only our own family has ever known Ancestor Changlin’s true appearance. Whether in statues or paintings, they were always meant for our eyes only. How does he know this? Could he have some connection to our Guang Family? What’s more, he knows our family’s inherited martial arts technique, the Mount and Sea Slash. No matter how you look at it, we can’t act rashly! What if he is the descendant of an ancestor’s old friend? What should we do then?"

"This..." Hearing this, Mei Xinlan began to feel conflicted.

"Mother, what are you waiting for? Kill him!" Guang Ming shouted when he saw his mother waver. "So what if he’s the descendant of an old friend? He just tried to kill me! Every one of his moves was lethal, aimed right at my vitals. He wants me dead! He wants you to lose me!"

Wu Tian was speechless.

So were the surrounding commoners.

That wasn’t what happened at all.

Lethal moves? Wu Tian had only made a single move against Guang Ming. This man’s ability to spout nonsense with a straight face was staggering. In broad daylight, under a clear sky, and in front of so many people, Guang Ming was shamelessly spouting lies.

Guang Lin was furious. "Guang Ming, you..."

Guang Ming looked at Mei Xinlan. "Mother, don’t you believe me?"

"I do! I believe you!" Mei Xinlan hurriedly responded.

Watching from the side, Wu Tian sneered. "Guang Changlin had no cultivation talent, but he was a man of integrity, and his wife was virtuous. Why has each generation of his descendants been worse than the last? I advise you not to provoke me again, or you will face the consequences."

This was originally a grudge between Wu Tian and the Heavenly Sword Sect, but now the City Lord’s Mansion had involved itself. Wu Tian was not a merciful person. He might have initially felt some goodwill for the sake of an old friend’s descendants, but once he formed a negative impression of someone, that feeling was irrevocable.

With a flip of his hand, the Vanquishing Heaven Seal appeared in his palm. A vast and overwhelming aura emanated from the seal.

His black hair whipped in the wind, his eyes radiating supreme confidence. At this moment, Wu Tian seemed like a Divine King, shining between heaven and earth, vying with the cosmos and outshining the sun and moon. He was so brilliant that none dared to look at him directly.

The aura of the Vanquishing Heaven Seal suppressed the entire space, causing Mei Xinlan’s face to turn pale. She had never felt such an aura, not even from her husband, the current City Lord.

She was astonished. How could an unknown person be so powerful?

Guang Ming was so shaken his legs trembled. He couldn’t believe Wu Tian possessed such strength. Then, his eyes fixed on the Vanquishing Heaven Seal in Wu Tian’s hand. His calmness must be due to that Supreme Treasure alone! Avarice instantly filled Guang Ming’s eyes.

When a son makes a request, his mother must fulfill it. That is what a good parent does, Mei Xinlan believed.

"Courting death." Wu Tian’s eyes turned cold. Anyone who tries to kill me must be prepared to be killed. He would not show mercy just because they were related to an old acquaintance.
