"If I'm going to die anyway, then I will at least take you with me to the afterlife!"

  As he said so, he covered his right hand in Blood Qi and attacked.

  Xiao Xi Xing's hand was moving at lightning speed before coming to a stop 2 millimeters away from Meng Yun's forehead.

  The whole process took less than two seconds. After the shock, Meng Yun looked up and noticed that Xiao Xi Xing's body that was on top of her was without a head, blood flowing out of it nonstop.

  Instead of a horrified scream, Meng Yun calmly pushed Xiao Xi Xing's body away from her and stood up to assess her surroundings.

  She noticed that her father had his left palm out, but did not move from his place while her younger sister was stunned and was processing what happened.

  "Are you okay?" Meng Hua asked with concerns.

  "I'm fine father, thank you for saving me." Meng Yun replied with a warm smile towards her father.

  Meng Hua smiled back, but did not say anything else.

  Yao Ming ran towards Meng Yun and hugged her tightly before crying. "Sister, I'm sorry I was wrong. I should've trusted you..."

  Meng Yun hugged her back and consoled: "It's fine Ming'er, you're still young and inexperienced. It's normal to make mistakes, just remember this experience and don't be easily deceived again."

  "I'll remember it *sob* I'll remember it well."

  Meng Hua seeing his two daughters have reconciled was relieved as he has a smile on his face.

  'Sigh, I was testing his sincerity. It's unfortunate that he failed and counterattacked or else we could have kept him.'

  But moments later, that smile disappeared from his face as horror and fear was the only thing in his expression.

  Meng Yun, after noticing her father's horrified expression, was shocked. She has never seen her father make that expression in her entire life. Even during the fight with Xiao Xi Xing, he hasn't shown an ouch of fear for her to see.

  So what is it that her father was so afraid of?

  "Father, what—" Meng Yun was about to ask when her father shouted.

  "MOVE!!!" Meng Hua shouted as he jumped and held his two daughters in his arms before jumping quite a distance away.

  His body was in pain all over, but he ignored it as he stood up and looked in the direction he came from, a meteor had fallen to the ground, destroying the place. Dust flew everywhere as explosion was created from the impact.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Soon, the dust cleared and revealed the place. The place that was once a flat surface filled with dried blood on grasses is now a huge crater over five meters deep.

  After the dust subsided, Meng Hua noticed that the 'meteor' had stood up. This confirmed his suspicion and fear as he made his mind to leave this place as fast as possible.

  What stood there on the crater was not something, but someone. It was a young man in his late twenties. The young man possessed quite a handsome face with gray white hair. On his clothes were traces of cuts and burns all over the place, but somehow it was still intact as a whole. The young man seemed to not notice them as the only thing he was doing was looking up at the sky, staring into the distance.

  Meng Hua turned to his daughters and said hurriedly: "Quick, stand up, we need to leave this place."

  Meng Yun and Yao Ming were still confused with the situation and did not understand what's happening. Meng Yun who has somewhat regained her composure asked: "Father, what is happening? I don't understand."

  "You don't need to. I will tell you everything later, now we need to leav-"

  "Look, isn't that a person? Shouldn't we go take a look?" Yao Ming announced her discovery and suggested.

  "No!" Meng Hua glared and shouted at Yao Ming, which he quickly stopped himself and closed his mouth using his hands.

  Yao Ming was both shocked and scared. Throughout her life, her father has always been calm and gentle towards her. Her father now, however, looked unfamiliar and strange, she felt like he was a different person.

  "Father, what's going on? Why are you acting like this?" Meng Yun asked as she made her way to console Yao Ming.

  "Can't you see? He's an Immortal!" Meng Hua pointed to the 'meteor', the man who stood still from his landing to this very moment.

  "Immortal?" Both Meng Yun and Yao Ming's eyes lit upon hearing the word.

  In her excitement, Meng Yun asked her father enthusiastically: "Isn't this great then? We can help him and ask him for guidance. Or we can even befriend him and ask him to help us with the Heavenly inheritance to return the favor! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity father!"

  "You... ARGHH!" Meng Hua was so angry at the moment that his face turned red. Why is his smart and independent daughter curious now of all time? Why is she so stubborn and confident in herself? For a moment, Meng Hua wished his daughters were dumb and obedient.

  'No, wait... If they're dumb and obedient, then they wouldn't have survived till this day either....'

  Meng Hua shook his head and gathered his thoughts. After five seconds passed, he regained his composure and answered his daughters: "My daughters, we don't have much time and we need to leave as soon as possible. It looks like you two need an explanation so I'll give you one."

  Meng Yun and Yao Ming nodded, waiting for his explanation.

  "Did you see that man over there? You might not be able to tell, but I'm sure he's an Immortal. Did you see how he landed and the state he was in? If he's an Immortal then why is he in such a state? Clearly he has suffered injuries from somewhere and landed here. It might be another Immortal, a magical beast or a group of them, or even both. Either of those are out of our league and we cannot, absolutely not, risk the chance staying here." Meng Hua tried to explain as short as possible while not leaving any important details, his voice was hoarse and cracked occasionally as he himself was shaking.

  The two girls only need a moment to process this information as their faces turn pale from realization. Even if their father didn't say it, they knew that what he meant was basically that they would die if the one who injured this Immortal appeared.

  The two girls nodded towards their father and were ready to move when suddenly they heard a voice laughing so loud that it made their ears hurt.

  "We were too late..."
