Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1844: 474: Farewell, Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s Astonishment! Return to the Immortal City!

In an instant, he stiffened, sensing that something wasn't right.

Hadn't he slain the Wolf King himself, only to suffer grave wounds and get sealed by a Nascent Soul True Lord?

How had he arrived in this place, facing his father and stepmother?

His gaze brimmed with caution as he activated his cultivation method, striving to determine if this scene was merely a trick, fearing the foe could employ this tactic to mislead him.

"Don't worry, all is well now."

Lu Changsheng spotted the caution in his son's stare and addressed him softly.

"Ah..."

Lu Ping’an felt stunned, hardly able to believe it.

After all, his captor had been a Nascent Soul cultivator.

How could his father have freed him from a Nascent Soul cultivator?

"The Nascent Soul cultivator who seized you has been killed by my hand."

"How did you attract the notice of a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Lu Changsheng pressed on, checking on his son's condition.

"Ah!?"

Both Lu Ping’an and Ling Zixiao were shocked and left speechless by these words.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who took him had been eliminated?

Nascent Soul... Cultivator.

Why did those terms feel so strange?

Though Ling Zixiao held deep faith in Lu Changsheng, after seeing him deploy the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] to destroy a Fourth Rank Demon King, she still looked puzzled and doubtful.

After all, this involved a Nascent Soul cultivator, a Nascent Soul True Lord!

"The Nascent Soul cultivator who grabbed me was slain?"

Lu Ping’an was completely rattled by his father's declaration.

When confronting Lou Mountain True Monarch, he had grasped the immense gap between Core Formation and Nascent Soul.

He had only advanced to the Third Rank Late Stage in Body Refinement, rendering him helpless against that foe.

Without the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine and the Undying Golden Body, he couldn't have even resisted.

Yet a being of that caliber had fallen to his father.

Were it not for his gut feeling, he might have dismissed it as a dream, even after assurances it wasn't an illusion.

"You were under possession before; I sensed it coming and ventured out to locate you. I witnessed you being taken by a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Endless Wilderness, out cold."

Lu Changsheng observed his son's ongoing bewilderment and sent a thread of Yin Yang magic power his way.

"Father..."

Right then, Lu Ping’an appeared to snap out of a trance, grasping that his father had truly brought him back home safely.

With remorse etched on his face, he confessed, "I had journeyed afar earlier..."

As his son began recounting his adventures, touching on his practice with Qin Yi, then his trip to Yue Country, Lu Changsheng cut in promptly, "Cut to the chase."

"..."

Lu Ping’an didn't mind the interruption; he rubbed his head and summed up succinctly how he clashed with the Wolf King in Black Desert Immortal City, then stumbled upon a lucky break in Wu Country, leading him back to the Endless Wilderness to pursue the Wolf King, which caught a Nascent Soul True Lord's eye.

"Wolf King Association, Dragon Tiger Immortal City, Yu Tiansheng, Da Luo Mountain..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng hadn't anticipated his son's journeys would spark such chaos.

He also comprehended the reason behind his son's swift cultivation progress, surging from Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer to Core Formation, and soon advancing further in Body Refinement to acquire the Undying Golden Body.

"Nascent Soul possession, killing the Wolf King, luring a Nascent Soul..."

Ling Zixiao was unaware of the Wolf King's might.

But she knew of the famed [Black Desert Immortal City].

She understood that thriving there demanded at least Nascent Soul cultivation with superior fighting skills.

For Lu Ping’an to defeat such a Nascent Soul cultivator, didn't that imply he possessed at least Core Formation Middle Stage battle strength?

"Zi Xiao, in time, collect details on Dragon Tiger Immortal City, Yu Tiansheng, Da Luo Mountain, and Lou Immortal Mountain."

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and instructed his wife at his side.

"My lord, the Nascent Soul True Lord tied to the Wolf King Association—is he connected to Lou Immortal Mountain?"

Ling Zixiao, sharp and astute, quickly pieced together the link to Lou Immortal Mountain.

"Indeed, while emptying his storage ring, from the token, this individual seems affiliated with Lou Immortal Mountain."

"Still, he met his end in the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm]. His group is likely probing the matter, so proceed cautiously with intel gathering; no need to hurry."

Lu Changsheng advised tenderly.

Next, he turned to Lu Ping’an and stated, "Ping’an, spend some days recovering properly. Matters like Dragon Tiger Immortal City and Da Luo Mountain can wait. Handle them once you reach Nascent Soul."

"Yes, father."

Lu Ping’an agreed with a nod, recognizing these issues were beyond him now and complying without protest.

After dismissing Lu Ping’an, Lu Changsheng questioned his wife Ling Zixiao about any recent events in the Immortal City, seeking updates on the Vast Sand Illusion Realm.

"No major incidents lately."

Ling Zixiao replied with a shake of her head, noting how the tale of the Immortal City vanquishing a Fourth Rank Demon King had echoed across the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, deterring any challengers or foes.

"Regarding the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, info at that tier won't surface unless the Heavenly Sword Sect announces it; we'll rely on outlets like the Heaven Knowledge Tower to share it, or the Immortal City won't get word swiftly."

Ling Zixiao explained.

Though Great Dream Immortal City maintained its own intel web, such data flowed from key sources and couldn't tap into a Nascent Soul-grade Secret Realm like the Vast Sand Illusion Realm.

"Hmm."

Lu Changsheng acknowledged with a nod, aware that dissemination would require time.

"Did my lord venture into the Vast Sand Illusion Realm?"

At that point, Ling Zixiao inquired.

Lu Changsheng had revealed the Nascent Soul cultivator's death in the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm], prompting her to infer his entry into the Secret Realm.

She felt a touch of intrigue about her husband's discoveries.

After all, each outing brought him rich gains, and following old habits, he might have tangled with some seductive temptress.
