Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2056: 534: Ambush on the Road, Huiyang True Monarch!

Upon noticing Lu Changsheng's expression, Shen Baishuang halted her teasing and sent a voice transmission: "This wretch is incredibly proud and won’t pay attention to a Core Formation cultivator for no reason."

"Elder Xuanmu should be more cautious."

Her tone carried a chill and detachment, appearing as concern yet truly serving as a warning to Lu Changsheng.

In truth, this Demon Princess possessed an arrogant disposition, always gazing upward, refusing to meet others' eyes directly.

Only if something about the Xuanmu Taoist before her piqued Si Guihua’s curiosity.

Was it the Star Sea Thief incident?

Zhao Wuzhen’s Kunpeng Demon Technique?

Maybe bearing rare Ghost Path treasures?

Shen Baishuang mused briefly before withdrawing her gaze, turning it to the Treasure Bead examining the Kunpeng Egg's qi mechanism, her red gown billowing alluringly and mesmerizingly.

Lu Changsheng gave a slight clasp of his hands, figuring it related to the Star Sea Thief and the Desert Sea Crocodile God affair.

Indeed, apart from that, he shared no grudges or ties with the Six Paths Demon Consort or Six Paths Palace.

...

Beneath the gazes of numerous Nascent Soul True Lords, the Treasure Bead floated near each Nascent Soul Cultivator, scanning for hints of the Kunpeng Egg's qi mechanism or anything akin.

Once it checked the final Nascent Soul Cultivator, several True Lords' expressions darkened, thickening the tension on Black Reef Island as oppressive dark clouds stealthily blanketed the sky.

Reluctant to yield, these Nascent Soul True Lords persisted with their probes into the area's conditions.

One more Nascent Soul True Lord, alongside a Fourth Rank Demon King, deployed spells to reveal Black Reef Island's spiritual mechanisms.

Regardless of their exhaustive searches, no sign of the Kunpeng Egg’s qi mechanism emerged for these Nascent Soul True Lords.

Hence, the deadlock dragged on for half a month; Lu Changsheng observed the Nascent Soul True Lords convening, apparently conferring, before Shen Baishuang came back with a frosty visage, gesturing for Lu Changsheng and the rest to depart.

Some Goddess Palace cultivators initially wished to question Shen Baishuang, yet her grim look silenced them all.

After all, prompting her to contact the Great Palace Master now would disrespect this Second Palace Master, wouldn't it?

"Hoo hoo hoo—"

Aboard the expansive red cloud spanning several zhang, Shen Baishuang poised elegantly at the front, as Lu Changsheng and fellow cultivators stood or sat in meditation behind.

Solemn looks marked their faces, anxious over possible ambushes en route.

Yet mere moments after exiting Black Reef Island's vicinity, the heavens abruptly grew overcast.

"Shen Baishuang, I’ve been expecting you for a long time."

A hazy, alluring voice, enchanting and soul-seizing, boomed across the skies and earth.

"Six Paths Demon Consort!"

Lu Changsheng and companions had anticipated Shen Baishuang's prior taunt toward the Six Paths Demon Consort sparking combat on return, but her arrival proved swifter than imagined.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Abruptly, grating, shrill fractures reverberated through the realm, stirring chest discomfort and churning qi, blood, and magical powers.

"Not good!"

The Goddess Palace cultivators atop the red cloud sensed the peril and hastily called forth their Magical Treasures.

Leading them, Shen Baishuang gripped a golden Ancient Sword in her pale hand, while an Azure Ancient Mirror, moon-like and radiating vast azure waves across ten thousand zhang, hovered overhead.

As the grating fractures intensified, a sharp "screech" rent the void, spewing boundless chaotic black torrents.

There appeared a colossal palace of pale bones, looming in the emptiness.

Assembled haphazardly with mottled black bloodstains, its walls crafted from countless trapped resentful souls emitting ghostly glows, all signaling its exceptional nature.

"What a massive Magical Treasure, utterly overbearing..."

Lu Changsheng eyed the Six Paths Demon Consort’s White Bone Palace gravely.

As a Third Rank Top Level Artifact Refiner, he had long sensed the palace's uniqueness.

Resembling a vast warship among enormous Magical Treasures.

Witnessing it now stationed in the Great Void, traversing space while rending heavens and earth, confirmed its supremacy.

Even without details, owning such a palace ensured an innate edge in battle!

"So... how do we even battle this?"

Lu Changsheng and others traded looks, glancing at the forward White Bone Palace then Shen Baishuang, seeking her battle plan.

Should Shen Baishuang fail against the Six Paths Demon Consort, their group faced peril...

And from the scene, Shen Baishuang seemed outmatched by the Six Paths Demon Consort.

"The minor and middle misfortunes foretold earlier—is this the crisis?"

Lu Changsheng contemplated inwardly, plotting a flawless escape performance.

"Shen Baishuang, kneel and beg forgiveness to this palace now, and I might let you live."

Athwart the White Bone Palace steps stood a lithe silhouette, features obscured, proclaiming boldly.

Below the nine hundred ninety-nine skull tiers, Demon Beasts, Ghosts, and Dao Soldiers aligned impeccably, fixating on Shen Baishuang's group with tsunami-like dread momentum.

"Si Guihua, do you truly believe this old lady fears you!"

Shen Baishuang’s red attire billowed, shimmering with illusory, radiant splendor; from her curvaceous waist unfurled a crimson Long Silk like a divine bird's wings, stretching nearly a hundred zhang to form a blazing sunset that quelled the encroaching pressure.

Her challenge to the Six Paths Demon Consort held real power and conviction.

Beyond the [Phoenix Seeking Phoenix] she wielded and the Azure Ancient Mirror overhead, her red dress, embroidered shoes, and sash were all supreme treasures.
