Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2128: 571

Half a year later.

Deep within the boundless, pitch-black mountain forests of the Land of Eternal Night.

"Whoo whoo whoo—"

The Yin Winds howled and night fog swirled, resembling the mournful cries of thousands of resentful souls.

Lu Changsheng, Qian Zhuyan, Yun Wanshang, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng were engaged in hunting a mutated beast.

This mutated creature was formidable, presenting a significant challenge even with two human companions, a puppet, and a bird working in tandem.

However, the rare Spiritual Medicine it guarded was extraordinary, surpassing even the Three-colored Flower and radiating abundant Heavenly Light.

After enduring dozens of rounds of intense combat, the mutated creature finally succumbed.

"Upon our return, I must refine a few effective close-combat Magical Treasures,"

His Life-bound Magic Treasure, the [Yin Yang Chart], had suffered significant damage in this perilous realm.

Furthermore, his ultimate offensive weapon, the [Great Luo Sword Embryo], was hampered in its power due to the insufficient stimulation from Qi-Blood Mana.

Yun Wanshang cast her gaze upon the Moving Mountain Whip in Lu Changsheng’s grasp. Without a word, she stepped forward, carefully excavating the precious spiritual product shimmering with rich Heavenly Light, her countenance beaming with delight.

Yet, in that precise moment, the Sun and Moon Two Forms Mysterious Light cradled in Lu Changsheng’s arms issued a sudden warning.

The once verdant, grass-covered ground fractured, revealing a crimson chasm from which a surge of black mist erupted, lunging towards Yun Wanshang.

"True Man, exercise caution!"

Within the swirling black mist, a spectral Ghost Face materialized, emitting a mournful shriek before tearing a small gash across Lu Changsheng’s Dark Armor.

Beside them, Qian Zhuyan sprang into action, his body radiating with potent Puppet Power as he assaulted the Ghost Face concealed within the black mist.

After enduring half a year of relentless hunting in the desolate mountains, accumulating numerous Soul Crystals, Qian Zhuyan had undeniably become the team’s most potent combatant. His control over nine puppets, orchestrating a synchronized assault, had painstakingly formed the nascent stages of Battle Formations.

While not yet reaching their peak external might, the display was still awe-inspiring.

"Boom!"

A decisive blow, infused with a surge of Puppet Spiritual Light, forced the Ghost Face within the black mist into a guttural roar of agony.

Concurrently, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng descended, its resplendent golden beak resembling a Divine Weapon meticulously forged through a thousand trials, tearing asunder the black mist that veiled the night sky.

"Lu Changsheng, are you unharmed?"

"It signifies no major issue,"

Given their profound connection, both physically and emotionally, they were intimately familiar with each other’s boundaries, rendering such petty exploitation unnecessary.

Witnessing this, Yun Wanshang rapidly regained her footing, her Magical Sword held firmly, and joined the assault on the Ghost Face within the black mist, exhibiting no trace of embarrassment or shyness regarding Lu Changsheng’s prior actions.

Indeed, the two shared an understanding that transcended mere acquaintance.

Their continuous cohabitation and shared adventures over these past half-years had led to numerous intimate moments.

Moreover, throughout this period, she had deliberately maintained an appearance of feigned ignorance, preserving the final boundary between them.

Were it not for certain reservations weighing on her mind, she had even contemplated employing her Spirit-nurturing Energy to aid Lu Changsheng in stimulating his Golden Core Dao Foundation and awakening his dormant Mana.

"Boom boom boom!"

In concert, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang unleashed their attacks upon the bizarre entity before them.

The strange beings inhabiting these forbidden deep mountains were notoriously troublesome, possessing an almost unkillable characteristic, rendering them exceedingly difficult to dispatch.

Even with the combined might of Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, vanquishing them swiftly proved to be a significant challenge.

"Woo woo woo—"

Sensing its inferiority against the united forces of Lu Changsheng and the others, the bizarre creature let out a mournful cry and opted for retreat, fleeing towards the deeper recesses of the mountains.

This forbidden mountain territory bore a striking resemblance to the inner reaches of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range; a significant disturbance here could potentially attract even more formidable entities.

Thus, Lu Changsheng immediately signaled Qian Zhuyan to unleash his full power, while he too held nothing back, fully unleashing his Buddha Demon True Saint Power.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The pair surged forward, their combined assaults bombarding the Ghost Face within the black mist, dissipating the dark energy until it gradually faded into nothingness.

Moments later, the Ghost Face disintegrated completely, revealing a jade-green crystal stone, roughly the size of a baby’s fist.

"Whoo whoo whoo..."

Lu Changsheng drew a long, weary breath, a lingering sense of longing in his exhalation.

Despite possessing a Fourth Rank Physique, the strain of two consecutive battles left him feeling somewhat fatigued and utterly drained.

"Lu Changsheng, are you alright?"

Yun Wanshang approached, her voice laced with concern for Lu Changsheng.

"True Man, our objectives for this expedition are complete. Shall we return and recuperate for a period?"

Lu Changsheng signaled with his hand, addressing Yun Wanshang.

A span of half a year dedicated to exploration had yielded considerable rewards.

However, the expenditure was equally immense. To put it mildly, the Magical Armor adorning his person was now riddled with numerous battle scars, likely rendering it irreparable after only a few more intense confrontations.

Therefore, his intention was to head back, take a much-needed rest, and transform the gains from this journey into potent strength.

Once his Qi-Blood Mana had fully recovered, he wouldn't need to resort to such extensive explorations; he could directly expand his influence and pillage through Qingyun City.

"Very well."

Yun Wanshang readily concurred.

It wasn't solely Lu Changsheng who had experienced significant depletion over the past six months; she too had borne a heavy cost.

Throughout the entire endeavor, Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan had undeniably exerted themselves the most.

"Let us depart from this vicinity for now."

Having just concluded a strenuous battle, Lu Changsheng opted against resting immediately in this location. Instead, he resolved to move away from the immediate area and seek a suitable place for respite.

...

Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Grand Hall of the Sect Master.

"There has still been no response from Dream Immortal City?"

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect communicated via a Formation with the stationed True Man within Dream Immortal City, his complexion somber.

Initially, Absolute Sword True Monarch had returned from Dream Immortal City, stipulating a one-year period for them to receive a reply.

Now, the allotted year had elapsed, and Dream Immortal City remained conspicuously silent, a situation that even caused palpable anxiety for the Sect Master.
