Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2060: 546:

Lu Changsheng watched in slight astonishment as Shen Baishuang produced a Spirit Annihilation Pearl.

"A mere Spirit Annihilation Pearl, and you believe it will force this palace to proceed with caution? Shen Baishuang, you underestimate others far too greatly."

Gazing at the Spirit Annihilation Pearl gripped in Shen Baishuang’s hand, the Six Paths Demon Consort’s eyes brimmed with derision as she sneered mockingly.

"A small Spirit Annihilation Pearl?" Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, prompting him to secretly activate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art while clutching a Fourth Rank Defensive Talisman.

"I can barely defend myself at this moment. If you possess any methods, use this opportunity to flee."

With her stunning yet icy features drained of color, Shen Baishuang sent a transmission to Lu Changsheng before hurling the Spirit Annihilation Pearl forward. She swung the Golden Ancient Sword in a fierce slash, striving to shatter the onslaught from the Six Paths Demon Consort and the Jiao Snake Ghost King to create an opening for escape.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

Suddenly, within the White Bone Palace, innumerable white bones materialized from nowhere, assembling into a massive magical cube that layered over the Spirit Annihilation Pearl.

Nevertheless, the Spirit Annihilation Pearl unleashed its horrifying might, relentlessly pulverizing the white bones and sending the entire White Bone Palace into violent quakes and shudders.

Yet the Six Paths Demon Consort, drenched in blood amid swirling ghost phantoms, materialized directly before Shen Baishuang. Her pale jade hand lifted, fingers morphing into serpentine forms that birthed a colossal jiao snake roaring forth to swallow her whole. The crimson glow from her red skirt faded visibly before their eyes.

At once, the dark red Jiao Snake Ghost King from afar charged straight at Shen Baishuang.

"Second Palace Master!"

To ease the pressure on Shen Baishuang and halt the Jiao Snake Ghost King, Lu Changsheng swiftly unleashed two Quasi-Fourth Rank Talismans.

Though he possessed the ability to pierce through the White Bone Palace ahead and flee, the reason behind the Six Paths Demon Consort’s desire to seize him remained a mystery.

He understood that departing now would bar his return to the Goddess Palace.

Otherwise, during future dealings between the Six Paths Demon Consort and the Goddess Palace, Shen Jianjia could easily favor her sister Shen Baishuang.

Furthermore, the divination symbols indicated that the safest path involved returning alongside Shen Baishuang and seeking refuge with the Goddess Palace to avert calamity.

Thus, the optimal course presently lay in teaming up with Shen Baishuang to drive back the Six Paths Demon Consort or forcing a breakthrough from the White Bone Demon Palace to escape.

"Second Palace Master, I possess additional methods. If you can endure just a bit longer, might we await the Great Palace Master or other Nascent Soul True Lords for reinforcements?"

Lu Changsheng’s hands wove incantation gestures, sending a flurry of Third Rank Talismans spiraling from his sleeves around him as he messaged Shen Baishuang rapidly.

"Endure a moment? Await reinforcements?"

Shen Baishuang’s elegant face was ashen, fresh blood trickling from her mouth’s edge, as if she’d heard the most absurd jest.

Yet observing Lu Changsheng’s earnest look while he lightened her burden, a flicker of reckless resolve appeared in her lovely eyes as she replied, "Should you eliminate this Ghost King along with every cultivator and Dao Soldier in the city, I’m certain I can shatter this Demon Palace and carry you to safety."

"Agreed!"

Without a second’s pause, Lu Changsheng affirmed upon hearing her words.

"Huh?"

Stunned that Lu Changsheng accepted so readily, Shen Baishuang doubted her ears, only to suffer a heavy strike from the Six Paths Demon Consort that made her cough up blood.

"Shen Baishuang, why not surrender quietly?"

"Aside from Zhongli Ming, who harbors a deep grudge against me and will fight in earnest, no one else will aid you for the paltry rewards you offered."

Noting Shen Baishuang’s unyielding defiance, the Six Paths Demon Consort spoke with a hint of scorn.

With that, her gaze shifted to the distant Lu Changsheng, adding, "Stay calm, Daoist friend. This palace simply covets certain items you hold. Comply willingly, and I shall not only spare your life but bestow fortunes upon you..."

But before her words concluded, a flurry of "swish swish swish" sounds erupted beside Lu Changsheng as puppets emerged one after another.

One!

Two!

Three!

In moments, nine Third Rank Puppets stood arrayed next to Lu Changsheng.

"Nine Third Rank Puppets!?"

Both Shen Baishuang and the Six Paths Demon Consort froze at the sight of the nine Third Rank Puppets, their faces registering profound shock and disbelief.

After all, even a single Fourth Rank Puppet in a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s possession would be extraordinarily rare.

But nine Third Rank Puppets?

What’s more, these nine Third Rank Puppets were not Low Quality or Middle Grade—they were all Superior Grade Puppets!

"Fascinating, utterly fascinating..."

Interest sparkled vividly in the Six Paths Demon Consort’s enchanting eyes.

To her surprise, this Nascent Soul Cultivator not only carried Ghost Dao Treasures coveted by her White Bone Ghost King and a puppet infused with Ghost Dao Qi Mechanism, but also commanded such a multitude of Third Rank Puppets.

Even someone of her stature, who long dismissed Third Rank Puppets, could tell from them that Lu Changsheng was no ordinary figure, clearly blessed with some supreme fortune.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

Affording no time for contemplation, the nine puppets on the scene linked their Qi Mechanisms with the Fourth Rank Puppet by Lu Changsheng’s side, forming a profound and enigmatic array.
