Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1921: 500: Netherworld Map, Gu God Bowl!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Once the wedding plans were settled, Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, and their group lingered for a full seven days at the Heavenly Sword Sect before heading back to Bi Lake Mountain.
Lu Miaoge further directed Lu Wangshu to craft several invitation letters and dispatch them to the Shendao Shangguan Family along with various allied clans overseen by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Qin Yi, however, chose not to journey back to Bi Lake Mountain alongside Lu Ping’an and the rest; instead, she planned to arrive later with Flying Snow True Man.
This setup came straight from the Heavenly Sword Sect itself, designed to honor the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and Lu Ping’an with sufficient respect.
In typical scenarios, a sect of such stature wouldn’t bother investing resources into a marriage of this scale.
Not long afterward, word spread across Jiuxiao Immortal City about why Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, and their companions had visited.
Their mission was to seek a union at the Heavenly Sword Sect!
On this trip, Miao Ge True Man aimed to arrange a betrothal for the Lu Family’s firstborn son, Lu Ping’an, to wed a promising disciple from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
While certain factions got the invitations and grasped the details—that the intended bride was a follower of Flying Snow True Man from the Heavenly Sword Sect—plenty of others remained in the dark, fueling a frenzy of wild speculations.
This sparked gossip so rampant that whispers even surfaced claiming Miao Ge True Man had journeyed to Jiuxiao Immortal City to claim a new concubine.
Indeed, across the years, tales of the Lu Ancestor’s fondness for gathering wives and concubines to sire heirs had lingered in conversations everywhere.
Particularly since his advancement to Core Formation, his reputation had echoed far and wide in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, reaching ears far and near, with numerous cultivators holding the existence of Changsheng True Master up as an ideal to emulate.
...
Yue Country.
Without anyone noticing, the Liangyue War had raged on for over two years already.
Even though the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s magical form met its end at Beast God Mountain in Liang Country, and Yun Mei Monarch from the Barebody Sect suffered grave wounds that slashed Liang Country’s elite fighting forces, the tide hadn’t fully turned.
Nascent Soul True Lords rarely intervened directly, and with Liang Country guarding a Fourth Rank Beast King, Yue Country struggled to reclaim those final strongholds.
In response to this deadlock, Yue Country’s Nascent Soul True Lords suggested dispatching select Foundation Establishment and Core Formation experts from each side for one-on-one battles to settle the outcome.
Yue Country dominated the Foundation Establishment clashes, yet at the Core Formation tier, they now lagged behind.
"Roar!!!"
Right then, across the Yue Country frontier battlefield, a ferocious baying reminiscent of a celestial wolf from the Nine Nether Purgatory boomed across the skies and lands.
A massive Heavenly Wolf, its frame cloaked in shadowy violet fur and built like an unbreakable fortress, let out its piercing cry, its pelt rippling with an enigmatic, profound sheen that danced like flowing tides.
The beast’s menacing, fearsome skull featured a curved crescent symbol on its forehead, akin to a staring eye, radiating a mesmerizing glow.
Its savage jaws, packed with razor-sharp teeth meshed together, gripped fiercely onto a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, emitting eerie ’crackling’ noises as it crunched down, seemingly determined to shatter the item entirely.
"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"
At the same moment, high overhead, a female figure wrapped in violet glow, clad in a revealing chest-band outfit, plunged from above to strike at the treasure’s wielder.
This warrior woman stood imposingly tall, her dense lavender locks streaming like a banner at her back, evoking the image of an invincible war goddess, fierce and commanding.
Despite her aura brimming with lethal intent, the regal poise of her form—encased in that violet band—along with her plump, silky arms reminiscent of tender lotus stems, her untamed but elegant slim waist, and her strikingly pale, elongated legs, softened much of the deadly vibe.
It even sparked a thought that perishing under the strikes of such a breathtaking beauty might bring no sorrow.
The Nether Moon Saintess, surging with unstoppable force, blasted through barriers of air; her fair, mighty hands, armed with a Finger Tiger-like artifact, unleashed a dazzling purple blast in a punch that hurled the treasure’s master tumbling away, blood spraying from their lips.
Right after, her sleek, vigorous, and exquisite legs pushed off the empty air, stirring waves, propelling her body sideways in a swift glide, her limbs scissoring to block the fleeing opponent’s path.
Regardless of how captivating those lithe jade legs and feet appeared, the sheer might that could rend space compelled the treasure’s holder to trigger a Life-saving Talisman.
"Long live Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"
Observers from Liang Country’s Beast God Mountain witnessed the display and erupted in thrilled cheers, their gazes helplessly fixated on the Holy Maiden’s matchless physique and those endless legs.
In that instant, the Nether Moon Saintess bathed in purple light presented an enchanting, curvaceous outline that proved magnetically seductive, laced with an aura of forbidden allure.
The Yue Country cultivators, beholding this, bore faces etched with dread.
"This Nether Moon Saintess possesses truly remarkable battle strength. Paired with Beast God Mountain’s Flood Dragon Saint Son, piercing their lines soon looks out of reach."
From the Yue Country ramparts, Lu Qingshan observed the distant fray, his features tense and grave.
His own fighting skills were impressive, unbeatable among peers, but having only recently entered Core Formation, he lacked the power to sway the broader conflict.
For battles at the Core Formation stage, he wasn’t even eligible to join in.
"Retreat!"
Yue Country’s Purple Light True Lord issued the command coolly.
This conflict had revealed precisely why Liang Country had launched their assault without cause.
Without Jin Kingdom’s meddling in Jiang Country backfiring and costing them the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, plus the unforeseen chaos in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, Yue Country could well have surrendered half its lands by now.
...
Beneath the adoring, reverent, captivated, and zealous stares of myriad cultivators, the Nether Moon Saintess made her way back to the encampment.
She slumped casually into a chair draped in tiger pelt, her skirted legs elevated and crossed, then glanced routinely at her attendant and asked, "Xiao Zi, any word on Ying’er?"
The servant named Xiao Zi bowed promptly and answered, "To Her Highness the Holy Maiden, there’s still no update on Lord Ying’er at present."
"Still nothing from Ying’er?"
The Nether Moon Saintess creased her brow.
Four years had passed since she’d sent Ying’er off to Jiang Country.
