What the hell is going on? A cultivator from a noble family of the Immortal Domain reduced to this state? Calling that little pup “Lord”? Utterly bizarre!
The little pup strutted about, barely paying them any mind, casting sidelong glances that left everyone speechless—it was downright eerie and uncanny.
“My Lord… is it truly you?” The eldest among them trembled, kneeling on the ground and crawling forward, his demeanor humble and filled with awe.
This was nothing short of horrifying, leaving everyone dumbfounded. How could a family from the Immortal Domain act like this? Showing such deference—even fear—toward a mere dog?
“What did you just call me?” The pup squinted at them, having already leaped onto a jade table—otherwise, it was far too short.
The old man broke into a cold sweat, his hair standing on end. After all, the young man in white from their clan had been calling it “little mutt” nonstop. The thought terrified him.
Especially when recalling this dog’s temperament back in the day—utterly ruthless and vindictive. To curse it openly like this? Were they tired of living?
Back then, their clan’s ancestor had suffered countless bites from this dog. Even after ascending to True Immortality, those memories were too painful to revisit—a bloody, tearful history best left forgotten.
Now, their descendants had run into this ancestor of theirs. How could they not be terrified? Their legs were practically jelly.
“My Lord, please do not hold our ignorance against us. Grant us your mercy.” The old man’s forehead was streaked with blood—though with his cultivation, scraping his head on the ground shouldn’t have drawn blood. Yet he had no choice but to humble himself.
The expressions of those behind him varied—some shocked, some dazed, others utterly lost. Clearly, not everyone in the clan knew about that dark chapter of their past.
“Uncle!” A middle-aged man whispered.
“Silence!” the old man hissed.
“Never thought I’d see your clan again after all these years. Heh!” The pup bared its teeth, grinning with a mouthful of tiny white fangs that sent chills down spines.
Truth be told, the old man was cursing inwardly. How many years had passed? An entire epoch! How was this damned dog still around?
Back then, their ancestors had been certain the dog was dead—slain by a sneak attack during the Immortal Ancient War, impaled by a spear. Yet here it was, alive and kicking.
He desperately wanted to rush back and inform their ancestors: The dog still lives!
Was there no justice in this world? That demon, that villain—the mere mention of whom had once turned their ancestors pale—had reappeared after eons!
“Enough talk. Come here and apologize to my human pet first. Calm his nerves.” The pup extended a tiny paw, pointing at Cao Yousheng.
Both sides felt sick to their stomachs.
The members of the Hong Family from the Immortal Domain were especially resistant. The younger and middle-aged generations, in particular, couldn’t stomach being scolded by a pup and forced to apologize.
As for Cao Yousheng? He felt like he’d swallowed a barrel of oil—so disgusted he wanted to stomp the damn thing flat!
“Is this… your human pet?” The old man, of all people, asked with utmost seriousness, trying to curry favor.
“Piss off!” Cao Yousheng couldn’t take it anymore.
“We didn’t even scold him! We just exchanged a few words with that young man,” someone muttered from behind. They admitted targeting Shi Hao but hadn’t done anything to Cao Yousheng.
“This whole mess started because of my human pet. Naturally, you owe him an apology,” the pup declared grandly.
“Elder, why must we do this? It’s just a little mutt! Is it worth groveling like this?” The young man in white had long since reached his limit.
In truth, he’d been seething the entire time. Their clan had produced a True Immortal! How could they stoop so low as to apologize to a damn dog?
He couldn’t accept it—this was an absolute humiliation.
Because he didn’t know the clan’s origins. He didn’t know the truth of their past.
For their ancestors, it was a dark history, a bloody tale. How could they possibly share it with every descendant? Only a select few, the most steady among them, were privy to it.
“You disagree?”
Whoosh! The pup leaped onto the young man’s head and began smacking him wildly, leaving him dizzy, his skull nearly shattered, almost collapsing on the spot.
Fury burned through him—his liver ached, his stomach twisted, his entire body throbbed. To be bullied like this by a damn mutt? Unbearable!
“You dare humiliate me?!” he roared.
“Humiliate? You’re nothing! Your ancestors were my human pets. You think you can challenge me, you runt?” The pup mocked him openly.
“I’ll kill you!” The youth erupted with radiant light, unleashing secret arts to annihilate the pup—yet his techniques had no effect.
The rest of the Hong Family turned pale, especially the old man, who knelt trembling on the ground.
“Beast! Stop this at once!” he bellowed.
“Elder, how could you?” The young man was both shocked and enraged.
“It… truly is our master,” the old man forced out, admitting it publicly.
The crowd erupted.
Especially the families from the Immortal Domain—their expressions shifted dramatically. This news was earth-shattering.
A little pup, casually tossing around “human pet,” and it was all true? What kind of background did it have?!
As for Wang Da and Wang Changsheng’s servants, along with Wang Tian, they stood frozen, faces stiff with shock.
The Wang Family was dumbstruck. The Immortal Domain clan they’d thought to rely on had been subdued by a pup, utterly docile. It was terrifying!
And those words—something was off. The Hong Family’s ancestor was a True Immortal, yet he’d been this pup’s human pet?
Was there no justice left? This was enough to scare the great families to death.
At the very least, the young masters and ladies from the Eternal Families of the Nine Heavens were petrified, not daring to breathe. Never had they felt such fear.
Thinking back to how Wang Da’s eldest grandson had arrogantly dismissed Cao Yousheng and the pup, everyone felt speechless. That had been a death wish.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Finally, the old man mustered his courage and began beating the young man in white, leaving his face swollen as he knelt in submission.
Wang Da was utterly stunned. He’d planned to use the Immortal Domain clan’s power to intimidate Shi Hao and crush his enemies—yet now, his so-called allies had… surrendered!
At this moment, Shi Hao moved, dragging Wang Da forward. He intended to extract the formations within his body—a grand gift for Cao Yousheng.
The chubby Cao, now looking seven or eight years old, round and plump in his Taoist robes, darted toward Wang Tian and began kicking him fiercely.
“You sent people to hunt me down? Flaunting your status as the Wang Family’s eldest grandson? Well, take this!”
Cao Yousheng vented his fury, kicking Wang Tian until he was barely recognizable.
Ssshh!
Light erupted from Wang Da’s body as Shi Hao touched the mysterious formations engraved in his flesh. His soul trembled violently.
“No! You can’t do this!” he rasped, screaming.
“This was placed by my father, Wang Changsheng. If you forcibly remove it, he will sense it!” Wang Da threatened, fear flashing across his face for the first time.
Shi Hao smirked and struck him with a palm, making him cough blood violently as the formations in his body blazed brighter, their patterns growing clearer.
“My Lord, will you return to the Immortal Domain with us? Surely… our ancestor would be… overjoyed to see you!” the old man said to the pup.
Overjoyed? The old man knew their ancestor loathed this dog, never wanting to see it again. If he brought it back, the ancestor would probably skin him alive!
The pup grinned—a forced, exaggerated smile stretching to its ears, revealing those tiny white fangs. “No rush!”
In truth, it didn’t dare go. It was too weak now. If its former “human pet” in the Immortal Domain found out, it’d be skinned alive.
But others didn’t know that. They were already planning to report back to their families—today’s events were monumental. A pup had once kept a True Immortal as a human pet!
Even the families from the Immortal Domain were shaken. This pup’s origins were too outrageous. The news had to be spread!
