Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2160: 583: Incoming—9 Abyssal Wu Armor!

Jiang Country, Qingyun Sect.

"As the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family resides within our Qingyun domain and possesses a formidable power of three Core Formation cultivators, it is only right that they contribute more effort in the current predicament."

Within the Sect Master’s Grand Hall, the Qingyun Sect Leader sat at the highest seat, conversing with several elders about the Liangyue War.

With the strong backing of Jiang Country, the Liangyue War had once again reached a standstill.

In response to this situation, the Heavenly Sword Sect had chosen to continue summoning reinforcements.

When the recruitment quota reached the Qingyun Sect, it was naturally delegated to the affiliated family forces under Qingyun Sect’s jurisdiction.

And the most prominent force under Qingyun Sect’s command is undoubtedly the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, boasting three Core Formation cultivators.

Although True Master Miao Ge from the Lu Family was summoned to the front lines three years prior, the greater one’s strength, the greater the responsibility they bear.

Previously, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family benefited from Great Dream Immortal City’s connections with Xiao Xiyue and the Heavenly Sword Sect, which led to preferential treatment from Qingyun Sect concerning Bi Lake Mountain.

However, with Great Dream Immortal City now at odds with the Heavenly Sword Sect, circumstances have shifted, and Qingyun Sect's stance towards the Lu Family is no longer as cautious or accommodating as before.

Donning a dress the color of the moon, resembling the brilliant moon of the Nine Heavens – cold yet sacred – Xiao Xiyue sat quietly to the side, her eyes gently closed as if in repose.

Despite being an elder of Qingyun Sect and holding a degree of influence, she found it difficult to voice strong opinions for the Lu Family during such important sect decisions.

After all, this recruitment order was not solely an initiative of Qingyun Sect but an arrangement made by the Heavenly Sword Sect to address the unfolding situation in the cultivation world.

Naturally, this decision did not preclude any potential intention by the Qingyun Sect Leader to diminish the Lu Family's power.

"Nephew Xiyue, I am aware of your bond with True Master Changsheng, yet you must understand the gravity of the Liangyue War. Our Jiang Country and Yue Country are in a state of interdependence..."

The Qingyun Sect Leader spoke sincerely to Xiao Xiyue, "Furthermore, proceeding to the front lines and earning military merits will yield substantial rewards, both from our Qingyun Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"While it carries danger, it also presents a rare opportunity."

Though Xiao Xiyue was merely at the Middle Stage of Core Formation, she possessed the foundational legacy of the Immortal Golden Core, marking her as a Nascent Soul Seed within Qingyun Sect, thus holding considerable sway.

"I understand."

Xiao Xiyue’s expression remained serene, her voice cool, like a gentle breeze on a frigid night, utterly devoid of emotional fluctuation, reminiscent of an impassive Guanghan Fairy.

"It is good that you comprehend, nephew."

The Qingyun Sect Leader gave a slight nod before shifting his gaze towards a young man standing not far away. He declared, "Xing Guang, I task you with a journey to Bi Lake Mountain. Should you encounter True Master Changsheng, please convey my regards."

The young man, identified as Xing Guang, was the personal disciple of the Qingyun Sect Leader and a recently ascended Core Formation Immortal within Qingyun Sect.

Upon hearing the command, he promptly rose with respect, clasped his hands, and replied, "Rest assured, Master."

...

Following the conclusion of the meeting, True Master Miao Ge offered a respectful hand gesture of farewell. He then transformed into a vibrant streak of rainbow light, soaring towards Bi Lake Mountain.

He had encountered Lu Changsheng in his earlier years.

This legendary True Master Changsheng, who had risen from humble beginnings, commanded his utmost admiration.

However, as the Qingyun Sect Leader’s disciple and one of the prospective future leaders of Qingyun Sect, he did not harbor any particular favor towards the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family.

Or rather, no sect desires to see a power as colossal as the Lu Family flourishing within its territory.

Consequently, the recruitment directive for the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family brought him great satisfaction.

If not for his master’s consideration towards True Man Xiyue’s connections, he might have proposed exploiting this chance to significantly curtail the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family’s influence.

After all, every faction within Jiang Country was well aware that while cultivators from the Four Great Immortal Sects might still receive some recognition when supporting Yue Country, the disciples from the affiliated family forces were invariably relegated to performing the most arduous and thankless tasks.

But when he was several miles from Bi Lake Mountain, he abruptly detected that Bi Lake Mountain’s Grand Formation was fully active, and the surrounding natural spiritual energy was in turmoil, converging rapidly.

"Hmm!? What is transpiring? Is someone attempting to break through to Core Formation?"

Witnessing this anomaly, Xing Guang’s heart jolted, and he immediately reduced his speed, moving closer to investigate.

"Roar!!!"

As he neared the Bi Lake Mountain's entrance, a deafening roar suddenly echoed.

A colossal and robust fierce beast materialized, a vertical pupil on its forehead blazing with malevolent light, fixing him with a predator's gaze. Its form was shrouded in a terrifying, dark demonic qi.

Xing Guang immediately identified this fearsome creature as the esteemed guardian spiritual pet of the Lu Family – the Nine Nether King!

While he had heard tales of this renowned guardian of the Lu Family, this was his inaugural encounter.

Gazing upon its sinister and appalling eyes, sharp fangs, and wolf-like visage, an involuntary shiver of alarm coursed through him, accompanied by an inexplicable sensation of peril!

A fierce beast indeed!

This was an undeniable wild beast, potent enough to instill primal fear!

"May I inquire what brings an esteemed senior to Bi Lake Mountain?"

At that very instant, a young man, whose delicate features appeared unnervingly pale and somewhat effeminate, emerged hastily from the gate. Clutching a sleeve talisman, he clasped his hands and posed his question to True Man Xing Guang.

"I am True Man Xing Guang, a disciple sworn to the Qingyun Sect Leader. I have arrived at Bi Lake Mountain to engage in discussions with True Man Changsheng."

Facing the imposing presence of the Nine Netherhound, True Man Xing Guang drew a deep, steadying breath. Displaying his Qingyun Sect token, he declared with solemnity, his voice imbued with an unmistakable measure of authority.

"True Man Xing Guang!?"

Though Lu Chensha typically paid little heed to external matters and did not recognize this particular True Man Xing Guang, the name had reached his ears before.

Without delay, he clasped his hands in return and stated, "Esteemed Immortal, your timing is unfortunate. My elder sister-in-law is currently undertaking Core Formation, a process at a most critical juncture. To forestall any potential interference or interruption, entry has been strictly prohibited. I trust you will comprehend."

"Should you have any pressing matters, I can deliver your message to the family on your behalf."
