Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1825: 468: Azure Phoenix True Monarch, End of the Secret Realm!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

Even though the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng had been hindered by the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s techniques, its flight speed remained terrifying as it burned its life essence. This forced the pursuing Ming Sha True Monarch, Yun Mei True Monarch, and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch to expend their own essence blood origin to keep pace.

Among the three pursuers, only Yun Mei True Monarch possessed magical treasures and cultivation techniques specialized for speed; the other two simply could not rival the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng without sacrificing their essence blood and Nascent Soul origin.

"Golden Peng, how much longer can you hold out?"

Lu Changsheng’s divine sense merged with the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror. Observing that the three were relentlessly chasing him by depleting their Nascent Soul origin, he questioned the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

If the Golden Peng could endure further, he was prepared to exhaust them more before launching a decisive strike to eliminate the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch first.

"About an hour,"

the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng replied, signaling that it could not sustain this extreme state for much longer.

"That’s enough!"

Half an hour passed!

Then a full hour!

It became clear that the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s escape speed was flagging. Its feathers, once as brilliant as a radiant golden sun, began to lose their luster.

"Golden Peng, that’s enough."

With a cold and stern gaze, Lu Changsheng looked back at their pursuers. He signaled for the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to dive toward a mountain peak below, getting ready to strike.

However, at that exact moment, a sharp and melodic cry resonated through the heavens.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror vibrated intensely. A Wu signaled that two powerful Nascent Soul-level mana signatures were approaching rapidly, their speed far exceeding that of Ming Sha’s group.

Even without A Wu’s explanation, Lu Changsheng turned to see a green rainbow light streaking toward them from the horizon. It moved with incredible velocity, whipping up a massive Azure Darkness Hurricane in its wake.

"Is this... Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s Qing Luan!?"

Lu Changsheng detected a familiar yet strange Qi signature from the green light. His heart skipped a beat; he had not anticipated meeting Azure Phoenix True Monarch in this location.

He assumed the other party would have already headed to the center of the secret realm to compete for the primary opportunities.

"Azure Phoenix True Monarch!?"

"Why is Azure Phoenix True Monarch here!?"

"Yangming True Master must have called for her help. We have to go!"

In contrast to Lu Changsheng, Ming Sha True Monarch, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, and Tan Mei True Monarch were struck with shock and dread at the sight of the green rainbow.

It was common knowledge that Yangming True Master and Azure Phoenix True Monarch shared a close bond.

They had previously feared that Yangming True Master would find reinforcements and team up with Azure Phoenix True Monarch, which was why they had tried to end the fight quickly.

To their surprise, after a long pursuit and heavy consumption of their resources, Azure Phoenix True Monarch had suddenly arrived.

"Go!"

Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch made the immediate choice to stop chasing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator from Beast God Mountain, he was highly attuned to the auras of spiritual beasts. He knew that Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s fourth-rank Simurgh was a formidable creature.

Furthermore, in his weakened state, his sharpened spiritual sense could feel a looming threat coming from Azure Phoenix True Monarch.

With her arrival, regardless of whether it was a trap, they could no longer pursue Yangming True Master with any certainty of success. It was wiser to retreat immediately to preserve their strength for the other treasures in the secret realm.

Otherwise, facing Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s combat power combined with Yangming True Master’s supreme treasure while they were exhausted, the three of them might not survive!

Even without further prompting from Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, Tan Mei True Monarch made his retreat.

"Damn it!"

Ming Sha True Monarch watched them flee. Though he was filled with rage and frustration, he was powerless. If Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Tan Mei True Monarch abandoned the fight, staying behind alone would be a death sentence.

"???"

Monitoring the situation through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Changsheng was stunned by the sudden flight of Ming Sha True Monarch and his allies.

He hadn't expected them to be so quick to run.

The mere sight of Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s aura had caused them to give up instantly.

On second thought, however, it was logical. The trio had already wasted a vast amount of energy. If they had to face a fresh Azure Phoenix True Monarch, they would be at a severe disadvantage and likely suffer heavy losses.

"Yangming Daoist?"

A clear, resonant female voice with a magnetic quality reached Lu Changsheng’s ears.

The green light landed nearby, revealing a Qing Luan. Its body appeared as if carved from jade, shimmering with platinum light, looking both elegant and majestic.

Standing atop the Luan bird was a tall, graceful woman dressed in a grand jade robe. Her features were sharp and well-defined, and her eyes shone like stars.

Looking at Azure Phoenix True Monarch, Lu Changsheng clasped his hands in greeting. "Thank you, Daoist Azure Phoenix, for your help."

While he didn't know why she was there, it was clear from the way she displayed her mana that she had intended to interfere.

"You’re too polite, Daoist. Little Qing detected the Golden Peng’s aura, so I came to investigate. What is happening here?"

Azure Phoenix True Monarch looked surprised to see Lu Changsheng being hunted by three Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, Ming Sha, Tan Mei, and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch were all prominent figures.

Yet here were these three, burning their essence blood just to catch Lu Changsheng, who was only at the Core Formation stage.

"I have an old grudge with Ming Sha True Monarch. We crossed paths in the secret realm and fought. To my surprise, he brought in Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch from Beast God Mountain and Tan Mei True Monarch from the Barebody Sect as reinforcements."

"Additionally, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch had a way to track me and suppress the Golden Peng. I was planning to lure them in and use a secret treasure for a final, desperate stand, but then I ran into you, Daoist Azure Phoenix."

Lu Changsheng let out a breath of stale air, speaking with visible emotion.

With the Sun and Moon Mysterious Light Mirror and the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill, he had been prepared to fight the trio to the death if necessary.

However, the risks and consequences of such a battle were impossible to calculate.

"A desperate stand with a secret treasure..."

Azure Phoenix True Monarch looked at Lu Changsheng. His face was flushed and his aura was slightly unstable, leaving her feeling a combination of shock and doubt.
