Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1790: 455: Counting the Spoils, the Shock of the Four Great Immortal Sects (part 4)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
The Leader of the Qingyun Sect felt a sense of relief regarding his earlier choice to deepen his friendship with Lu Changsheng.
It would have been a grave mistake to provoke the Great Dream Immortal City without reason.
Still, after reflecting for a moment, he made his way to Caiyun Peak to consult Xiao Xiyue. He wanted to see if she possessed any insights regarding the mysterious Great Dream Immortal City.
He requested that she invite Lu Changsheng to Qingyun Hall upon his return, as there were urgent matters he wished to discuss with him.
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The Sect Master of Heavenly Sword appeared grave as he processed the report. After recovering from his initial shock, he immediately relayed the intelligence to Absolute Sword True Monarch, the guardian currently stationed at the sect.
"A quasi-fourth rank demon beast, a top-tier supreme treasure, and the successful hunt of a fourth rank Demon King!"
Even with the composure of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Absolute Sword True Monarch found it impossible to remain calm upon hearing such news.
The Void Kun was an exceptionally rare spatial demon beast that wielded the Power of the Void.
Because such creatures can slip through space, they are notoriously difficult to trap or kill.Thus, the fact that Great Dream Immortal City managed to slay a fourth rank Demon King was a feat beyond the ordinary. It proved that their supreme treasure was powerful enough to threaten Nascent Soul Cultivators, or perhaps even a manifested Nascent Soul Spirit Body!
"I wonder if the treasure held by this Great Dream City Lord is a top-level spiritual treasure or merely a powerful one-time secret weapon..."
Absolute Sword True Monarch’s gaze grew heavy as he pondered the possibilities.
If the City Lord’s treasure functioned similarly to the Yiming Ghost Sect’s [Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool], the implications were dire.
The owner would only need to remain within the Immortal City, utilizing the Celestial City Formation alongside the treasure, to become an invincible opponent. Under such conditions, even a Nascent Soul True Lord might fall in battle!
However, the threat would be far less significant if the item was simply a single-use exotic treasure.
He suspected the former was more likely.
Had it been a one-time secret weapon, the City Lord probably wouldn't have been so flamboyant or used it so openly.
"Or perhaps, they simply desired the demon core and materials from that Void Kun?"
Nascent Soul Cultivators possess a foundational mastery over the Power of the Void.
Consequently, the remains of a Void Kun are priceless to a Nascent Soul True Lord. Such materials not only aid in comprehending the Power of the Void but are also essential for forging spatial magic treasures to bolster one's combat strength.
After a long silence, Absolute Sword True Monarch turned to the Sect Master and commanded, "Iron Sword, send a messenger to the Great Dream City Lord. Inform them that the Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely attend the whale-hunting banquet."
Despite the unsettling nature of the news making him restless, he had to stay put.
Xuanjian True Monarch had recently departed for the Endless Wilderness to wait for the opening of the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm].
With the responsibility of guarding the sect on his shoulders, Absolute Sword True Monarch could not personally visit the Great Dream Immortal City at this time.
Furthermore, since the invitation stated the banquet would occur after the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm] concluded, there was no reason to rush and potentially cause offense.
"Understood," the Heavenly Sword Sect Master replied with a bow.
He agreed it was wiser to wait for the return of Xuanjian True Monarch before taking further action. Not only was Xuanjian True Monarch a peerless combatant, but he was also highly respected and skilled in the art of divination.
Once he returned, he could use the details of the battle to divine the true nature of these two new City Lords.
...
While the Jiang Country was reeling from the news of the Great Dream City Lord’s victory over the fourth rank Demon King...
In the Liang Country, at Beast God Mountain.
The Nether Moon Holy Temple.
"Your Highness Holy Maiden, I beg for your mercy! If you let me live, I will serve you as a dog!"
Bound by glowing rune chains, a muscular middle-aged man knelt upon a stone dais, his voice trembling with terror as he looked at the woman before him.
His eyes were fixed on a pair of flawless, powerful, and incredibly long legs.
They were masterpieces of nature—unrivaled in beauty, radiating strength, and possessing a skin like warm mutton fat jade. The lines of her legs were graceful and perfect, drawing the eye and making it impossible to look away.
The woman, seemingly indifferent to her effect, wore a short dark purple skirt that left her legs entirely exposed.
"A dog? Do you think you are worthy?"
The woman was tall and lithe, her attire daring. She wore only a dark purple halter top on her upper body.
This left her toned, pale arms and her smooth, firm abdomen completely bare. Her midriff curved elegantly, leading the eye upward.
Though restrained by the purple fabric, her chest was full and striking, nearly straining against the material.
She looked down at the captive man and let out a cold snort. With a sudden, graceful sweep of her leg, a burst of purple light erupted as she kicked him. The man coughed up blood and was sent flying across the room.
"You’er."
The woman lifted her chin slightly, her red lips parting to speak. Her face was a picture of exquisite beauty, masked by an aura of absolute arrogance and noble pride.
"Roar!"
A nearby Heavenly Wolf, its fur a deep purple, let out a menacing growl as it prowled toward the fallen man.
Watching this, the woman licked her lips. Her cold, piercing eyes added a dangerous charm to her stunning features.
She turned and walked away, her jade-like legs moving with a rhythmic sway. With her dark purple hair trailing behind her, she appeared wild and untamed.
"Your Highness Holy Maiden!"
As she exited the Great Hall, a subordinate rushed forward to report.
Kneeling before her, the man felt his throat go dry at the sight of her legendary legs. He quickly looked down and spoke with deep respect.
"Your Highness, I have obtained new information. In Jiang Country, a Core Formation Family known as the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family is keeping a third rank Nether Moon Wolf. It appears the beast has undergone a bloodline mutation or atavism, reaching the third rank in less than a century. Its power is said to be quite formidable..."
