Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1821: 466: Three Nascent Souls! Encirclement and Slaughter!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng ignited its very life force and essence blood to flee the moment Yun Mei True Monarch was repelled by the sword strike. Witnessing this, Ming Sha True Monarch grew desperate and immediately burned his own Nascent Soul Origin, determined to keep them pinned down.
Lu Changsheng did not hesitate, activating a Fourth Rank Talisman obtained from Lou Mountain True Monarch: the Heavenly Wind Talisman!
A violent eruption of spiritual power followed, summoning a terrifying black gale. Like chaotic currents from the void, this invisible calamity swept toward Ming Sha True Monarch with destructive force.
"Break!"
With a thunderous roar, Ming Sha True Monarch hoisted the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool above him. A foul, endless rain of blood saturated the air, clashing against the disastrous black wind as he launched an assault on Lu Changsheng. However, Lu Changsheng had no intention of being tied down. He swung his blade with full strength once more, the sword light blazing so brilliantly it seemed to sever the world into Yin and Yang, forcing Ming Sha to retreat.
Driven by a murderous oath, Ming Sha True Monarch used the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool to violently intercept the sword light. The blood within the pool began to boil as the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves filled the air. A dense, chilling Yin energy gathered, signaling the imminent arrival of something truly horrific.
"Go!"
Sensing the danger emanating from the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool and fearing the summoning of a Fourth Rank Ghost King, Lu Changsheng immediately slapped a Third Rank Top Level Divine Movement Wind Talisman onto the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. He signaled for the creature to flee, leaving the remaining burden to him.
Aware of the dire stakes, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng frantically burned its essence blood. It became a golden meteor cutting through the firmament, trailing a fierce gale in its wake. After unleashing another sword strike, Lu Changsheng activated the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to further boost the Peng’s speed.
"Damn you! Yangming True Master, do you lack the courage to face me head-on?" Ming Sha True Monarch bellowed in a fit of rage.
While he was prepared to sacrifice his essence blood and life force, Yun Mei True Monarch and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch were not as willing. Furthermore, once their three-way encirclement was shattered, pursuing him would become an arduous task.
"Idiot!" Lu Changsheng spat the insult even as he distanced himself.
Face three Nascent Soul cultivators head-on? Only a fool would agree. Guided by the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Changsheng navigated the optimal escape route and successfully evaded Ming Sha’s trio.
Despite his escape, his expression remained grim rather than joyful. The recent encounter confirmed that Ming Sha True Monarch and his allies possessed a method to track his location. Using his Taiyi Divine Soul, Lu Changsheng meticulously scanned his own body and then the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. He found no Nascent Soul tracking marks.
Still uneasy, he cast a Third Rank Top Level Purification Talisman on himself and the beast, yet detected no fluctuations of hidden energy. "All three are merely Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators; they shouldn't be able to place a mark that I cannot perceive."
Lu Changsheng concluded that the issue wasn't a mark on their bodies. He reviewed the contents of his storage rings. Aside from Lou Mountain True Monarch’s belongings and a previously acquired puppet, he hadn't gathered any new treasures in this secret realm. To be certain, he inspected the storage bag and ring of the man he had recently killed, destroying every suspicious token within. However, those tokens shared no connection with the Yiming Ghost Sect or the Barebody Sect.
"It must be that person from the start..." Lu Changsheng mused, his mind returning to the stout man he first encountered.
"Ayoudo mentioned Ming Sha has deep ties with Liang Country, specifically Beast God Mountain. If the woman just now was Yun Mei True Monarch of the Barebody Sect, could that fat man be the newly ascended True Monarch from Beast God Mountain—Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch?"
Lu Changsheng began to piece together the identity of the plump cultivator. Though their appearances were vastly different, the presence of silver threads on his person made him almost certain: this was indeed the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch of Liang Country’s Beast God Mountain.
Lu Changsheng’s knowledge of this man was limited to Ayoudo’s tales. The man was a local legend. Most geniuses achieve Core Formation before a hundred and attempt the Nascent Soul stage before three hundred. Yet, this man did not reach Core Formation until he was one hundred and eighty, a feat that shocked Liang Country. After that, his progress accelerated; he reached Late Core Formation within a century before vanishing for nearly two hundred years, only to reappear as a Nascent Soul cultivator. By now, he was nearly five centuries old.
Because of his long disappearance, even Ayoudo knew little, other than the fact that his life-bound beast was an Undying Silkworm and that his breakthrough was closely tied to it.
"Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch hails from Beast God Mountain and is a master of beast taming. Given his use of Divine Secret Skills, he is likely the one enabling Ming Sha to find me." Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed. He suspected the tracking method was linked to this man, though the exact technique remained a mystery.
"Could it be..." Lu Changsheng glanced at the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
While Beast God Mountain differed from the Spirit Taming Sect, they both specialized in beasts. As a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the man likely possessed a Beast Taming Secret Technique specifically designed to trail a creature like the Golden Peng.
An hour later, Lu Changsheng directed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to descend. He nourished it with rare elixirs and a bounty of treasures before sending it to recover within the Tianyuan Lotus. He then located a secluded mountain range and established the basic formation provided by Lou Mountain True Monarch. Using his damaged magic treasures to mask his Qi, he sought to test if the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch could still track him.
If the enemy could no longer find him, the problem was solved. But if they did—and if the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch arrived alone—he would find a way to kill him.
With cold, determined eyes, Lu Changsheng consumed a medicinal pill and activated his Chaos Body, quietly healing his wounds while he waited for the inevitable.
