Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2071: 545: The Thoughts of the 2nd Palace Master, 6 Dao Demon Lords! (3)

A group of eighteen spectral soul maidens, each grasping ceremonial fans, baskets, and kerchiefs, encircled a opulent throne studded with precious gems and veiled in gossamer curtains. They soared forth from the White Bone Palace into the Six Paths Palace, all under the worshipful and pious stares of countless onlookers.

"Cough cough cough..."

Upon reaching her private quarters within the Six Paths Palace, Si Guihua disembarked from the veiled throne, pressing her heaving bosom that threatened to rupture, and hacked up bloody froth.

In the earlier clash against Shen Baishuang, despite overpowering the pair of humans, the beast, and even the puppet battle array,

her Fourth Rank ghost pet got devoured outright, and activating a forbidden art by fusing with the White Bone Demon Palace had dealt her severe wounds as well.

She had brutally stifled these injuries just to shake off Shen Jianjia’s chase.

"Shen Baishuang, Shen Jianjia!"

Soon after, a chilling murderous aura flared from the Six Paths Demon Consort’s pristine, limpid yet profoundly shadowy eyes.

To her, absent Lu Changsheng’s unforeseen meddling that summoned Shen Jianjia, Shen Baishuang would’ve met utter doom!

"Someone, come!"

Without hesitation, she summoned attendants to procure details on Lu Changsheng.

She couldn’t comprehend the origins of this mysterious figure.

Before long, the report arrived.

"Xuanmu Taoist..."

While scanning the intelligence, the Six Paths Demon Consort’s elegant crescent brows furrowed into a flawless curve.

The Starry Sky Sea had no record of this individual whatsoever.

Intelligence revealed he’d joined the Goddess Palace only four or five years prior.

What reason could he have, in such a short span, to stake his life for the likes of Shen Baishuang and provoke her Six Paths Palace?

Thus, her initial judgment marked this Xuanmu Taoist as deeply suspicious, harboring grave secrets!

"This person must be eliminated!"

Reflecting on Lu Changsheng’s displayed prowess, a torrent of venomous killing intent and bitterness flooded the Six Paths Demon Consort.

The Fourth Rank ghost pet she’d painstakingly nurtured with immeasurable time, resources, and devotion was simply swallowed by his spirit pet.

How could she swallow such a loss?

Even if its rank dropped, she could pour in treasures from heaven and earth to restore it.

Yet with him retreated to the Goddess Palace, slaying him now proved immensely challenging.

He commanded a Fourth Rank puppet, puppet battle formations, and spirit pets that countered Demon Path and Ghost Path techniques; even confronting him directly, capturing him alive for vengeance would demand far greater readiness.

After deep contemplation, flanked by the ghostly soul maidens, the Six Paths Demon Consort navigated endless corridors to reach a secluded inner palace.

"Greetings, Demon Consort!"

Mist enshrouded the palace, where a colossal Bone Dragon coiled protectively around it.

As Si Guihua approached, the Bone Dragon’s enormous head emerged from the fog, addressing her, though its tone carried scant deference.

"Where is the Demon Lord?"

Clad in an ink-black jade palace gown etched with flowing crimson blood motifs, the Six Paths Demon Consort cut a graceful, alluring silhouette with an impassive visage.

"Reporting to the Demon Consort, the Demon Lord remains in closed-door cultivation."

The Bone Dragon’s voice echoed with ghostly depth.

"Closed-door cultivation, always closed-door cultivation!"

Though anticipated, the words still darkened the Six Paths Demon Consort’s features, as blood-red demon flames erupted and danced wildly around her form.

Earlier, Shen Baishuang hadn’t only summoned Shen Jianjia’s aid but also beseeched the Six Paths Demon Lord.

Yet the latter perceived no imminent threat to her life and thus stayed hidden.

"Inform the Demon Lord that I have pressing affairs."

Her exquisite, refined face remained cold as Si Guihua declared.

"Demon Consort, the Demon Lord decreed he’s at a pivotal cultivation phase; you’re empowered to decide all matters independently."

The Bone Dragon’s immense frame loomed over the palace, gazing down upon the Six Paths Demon Consort with a menacing, resonant timbre.

At those words, the Six Paths Demon Consort icily commanded the palace interior: "Six Paths, emerge!"

"Demon Consort, refrain from interrupting the Demon Lord’s cultivation."

Now, the Bone Dragon’s tone sharpened with authority, unleashing peals of thunder across the skies and lands.

Faced with the Bone Dragon’s intransigence, the Six Paths Demon Consort’s alabaster jade hand quivered as crimson demon qi surged through her palm, wreathed in swirling ghostly shades—yet ultimately, she let out a frigid huff and departed.

...

Goddess Palace, Rongyue Island.

Within the Tianyuan Lotus.

Lu Changsheng’s entire frame brimmed with Yin Yang Magic Power, reining in and stabilizing the Kunpeng Egg.

Through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, he observed the demonic fetus embedded in the nascent Kunpeng, ceaselessly blending golden divine radiance and black dawn glow—like a forge pulsing between brilliance and shadow, manifesting a golden hue and spectral ebony sheen akin to the Kunpeng Giant Egg.

These gleams flowed from exterior to core, then reversed inward to outward, etching crystalline, intricate runes and motifs evocative of a Kunpeng’s silhouette across the flesh’s surface.

In that instant, Lu Changsheng sensed a disturbance and, via the Three Treasures Incarnation, discerned that Third Palace Master Shen Yiren had arrived to see him.

Though he foresaw this Third Palace Master rushing over upon hearing the tidings, the speed caught him off guard.

"Yudie, have the Third Palace Master wait a moment; I’ll join her presently."

Lu Changsheng gestured for his son Lu Quanzhen to halt the session, acclimate himself, and scan for any anomalies.

If all seemed well, they’d resume shortly.
