Ninja World:The Heavenly Emperor Returns

A gust of wind blew.

Shen Qingqing, who had been frozen in shock for a long time, suddenly trembled and snapped back to reality.

Seeing Shen Lian and Xuan Ba walking away, she quickly chased after them.

"Wait for me!"

Moments later, she was panting as she caught up, her eyes scanning Shen Lian and Xuan Ba with a look of disbelief.

Especially when she looked at Xuan Ba, her face was filled with fear.

The power that had just killed Su Chen and her bodyguards had been overwhelming, shattering her perception of reality.

"You... who are you?" she asked through clenched teeth.

Shen Lian glanced at her, a faint smile forming on his lips.

"I told you. My name is Shen Lian. I'm your uncle and grandfather."

Shen Qingqing facepalmed. It was already such a serious moment—why was he still joking?

Sixty years had passed. Even if her uncle and grandfather had survived, they would be in their seventies or eighties now.

Seeing this, Shen Lian didn't bother to explain further. He replied with a half-smile, "When we meet your grandma, you'll understand everything."

Shen Qingqing acted like she hadn't heard that. Instead, she turned to Xuan Ba and asked, "Then... what about you?"

"Me?" Xuan Ba smiled and shook his head. "Girl, this old slave is merely one of your uncle and grandfather's subordinates."

"One of the subordinates?" Shen Qingqing was stunned.

She had originally thought that this mysterious figure with overwhelming power was either Shen Lian's elder or an invited master.

But to think he was just a subordinate?

And he even referred to himself as an old slave?

"Yes. Your uncle and grandfather command countless powerhouses. Among them, there are six invincible beings capable of shaking an entire era and dominating a universe. I'm just a middle-rank figure among them."

Xuan Ba smiled as he spoke.

Shen Qingqing felt her scalp go numb.

Shaking an era? Dominating a universe?

What kind of fantasy novel logic was this?

Was she three years old? Was he trying to feed her bedtime stories?

She rubbed her forehead in helpless disbelief.

This so-called expert may be strong, but he clearly wasn't mentally sound.

"Forget it. I won't bother asking."

Shen Qingqing shook her head. She felt like communication with these two was completely off.

What she really felt now was worry.

There was a reason Su Chen could command the respect of all the elite youths at the banquet.

The Su family's power was enough to change global patterns.

They were comparable to the Samsung family of the Stick Nation, the Rothschilds of the Eagle Country, and the Morgans of the Lighthouse Nation.

As the number-one overseas Chinese family, their influence abroad was immense.

The Shen family was one of the most renowned top clans in the Dragon Kingdom, but compared to the Su family, they were simply outmatched.

Now that Shen Lian had killed Su Chen, there was no way the Su family and the Lighthouse Nation would let it go.

"However, the Su family's influence is mainly centered in the Lighthouse Nation. It'll take them some time to act within the Dragon Kingdom."

Shen Qingqing tried to comfort herself.

Jingle bell—

Jingle bell—

Suddenly, Shen Qingqing's phone vibrated.

She quickly looked at the screen. It was her father.

She picked up the call immediately.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

A solemn yet sorrowful voice came through the receiver.

"Come back. Your grandma... she's dying."

The words struck like thunder.

Shen Qingqing froze on the spot, her mind going blank.

"How... how could that be? This morning she was still fine," she muttered, trembling all over.

"Hey, it's a long story. Her body had been failing for a while now, but she held on and didn't want us to tell you... Enough talk. Just come back now. Your grandma loved you the most. Don't let her leave this world without seeing you one last time."

The voice sighed heavily and then hung up.

Bang.

Shen Qingqing's phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. She stood there in a daze, completely unaware.

It took five or six seconds before she regained her senses with a shiver.

Then, she looked at Shen Lian suddenly, speaking in a rush, "My biggest regret is never finding my uncle and grandfather. You're their descendant. If she sees you, she'll definitely be happy."

"Come back with me to the Shen household!"

She hailed a taxi and took Shen Lian and Xuan Ba back with her.

Along the way, Shen Qingqing was like an ant on a hot pan, urging the driver to hurry up while weeping anxiously.

Seeing this, Xuan Ba smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry. With your uncle and grandfather here, your grandma won't pass away."

"With your uncle and grandfather's abilities, even if your grandma has already passed, he can still bring her back."

"In the eyes of your uncle and grandfather, mortal life and death are just threads he can manipulate freely."

But Shen Qingqing was too distressed to listen. She kept urging the driver to go faster.

As for Shen Lian, he remained calm throughout.

Just as Xuan Ba had said.

At his level, controlling life and death was no different from eating or drinking.

Forget Shen Man being on the verge of death.

Even if every human on Earth died at this very moment, Shen Lian could restore their bodies and souls and bring them all back to life with a single thought.
