Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2161: 583: Incoming—9 Abyss Wu Armor! (part 2)

Lu Chensha spoke with genuine sincerity, his posture one of utmost respect.

"Sister-in-law?"

Xing Guang, a direct disciple of the Qingyun Sect Leader, who frequently managed sect affairs, immediately deduced that the 'sister-in-law' the young man before him referred to must be the Dao Companion of Lu Ping’an, the eldest son of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, and also a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Flying Snow lineage—Qin Yi.

He felt a flicker of surprise within his heart, pondering why this disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect was attempting Core Formation not within her own sect, but instead at Bi Lake Mountain?

Although Bi Lake Mountain had undergone an upgrade to its Spirit Vein, reaching the Third Rank years ago, which was sufficient to support Core Formation, the ambient Spiritual Energy conditions could hardly rival those of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Could it be Qin Yi, Fairy Qin?"

Xing Guang voiced his inquiry.

"Yes, she is indeed my sister-in-law."

Lu Chensha responded with a nod, his demeanor conveying profound respect towards Xing Guang.

"In such a case, I shall await Fairy Qin’s completion of her Core Formation attempt before I proceed into the mountain gate."

Xing Guang did not press the issue, stating his decision.

Firstly, the matter of Core Formation is of paramount importance.

The decision to seal the mountain's entrances and exits to preempt any unforeseen circumstances was both reasonable and beyond reproach.

Secondly, his primary objective for this visit was to deliver a summoning order.

Considering the current standing of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, even as a Nascent Soul Immortal and a Sect Leader's Disciple, he was obligated to display ample sincerity and politeness, rather than resorting to the imposition of authority.

To barge in without invitation would indeed be a grave breach of etiquette.

Should he enter to discuss matters and, subsequently, Qin Yi fail in her Core Formation attempt, the Lu Family might levy blame upon him, suggesting he disrupted their luck and Fengshui.

It would be far wiser to maintain a position of waiting outside for a duration.

This approach would effectively demonstrate his sincerity, ensuring that regardless of Qin Yi's success or failure in achieving Core Formation, the Lu Family would be less inclined to treat him with coldness.

"And if this Fairy Qin manages to succeed in her Core Formation..."

Xing Guang’s gaze drifted towards the faintly discernible Nascent Soul Celestial Phenomenon, veiled by the formidable Great Formation of Bi Lake Mountain, as he contemplated internally.

While a solitary Nascent Soul Immortal might not be enough to sway pivotal events like the Liangyue War.

Nevertheless, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family securing a daughter-in-law from the Heavenly Sword Sect who achieved Core Formation would undoubtedly bolster their influence within the Jiang Country's Cultivation Realm.

His own Qingyun Sect would need to exercise greater consideration in their future dealings with Bi Lake Mountain.

"Perhaps this woman has taken these very factors into account, and thus deliberately chose Bi Lake Mountain for her Core Formation attempt, thereby signaling her intentions."

Xing Guang stood tall, his gaze fixed with solemnity upon Bi Yun Peak.

...

At the convergence point of the Great Dream Marsh and the Starry Sky Sea, the ocean waters churned violently, generating successive layers of powerful tidal waves.

At this precise moment, situated deep within the Sea Eye, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, adorned in sky-blue armor and wielding a trident, along with two other Nascent Soul cultivators, formed a strategic triangular encirclement against an colossal whale.

This whale was of breathtaking size, its body adorned with scales bearing dark-golden, dragon-like patterns, and two formidable, majestic dragon horns crowned its head.

Despite the whale’s formidable might, the three Nascent Soul cultivators were far from ordinary adversaries and had arrived exceptionally well-prepared.

Each individual held a black Profound Water Banner, intricately weaving their Qi Mechanisms together, effectively segmenting the surrounding seawater as if constructing an independent realm.

These were none other than the Sea Sky Black Water Banners, one of the revered Spiritual Treasures passed down through generations by the Seven Sects of the Ocean!

Five years prior, the Pinghai Monarch had obtained intelligence regarding a Fourth Rank Whale King that had previously appeared near Black Reef Island. He had ventured out to investigate, sensing the aura of a Kunpeng Egg emanating from Lu Lingjing, and harbored intentions of obtaining the Kunpeng Egg from her.

However, following an intense and fiercely contested battle, he discovered himself outmatched by his brilliant opponent and made a decisive retreat. Subsequently, he extended invitations to his associates, True Monarch Fu Hai and True Monarch Ling Bo, both esteemed members of the Seven Sects of the Ocean.

In the intervening years, the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale had been observed roaming erratically throughout the Starry Sky Sea at astonishing speeds, rendering any attempts to locate it futile.

Currently, the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale had ceased its nomadic existence, slumbering within the Sea Eye of the Great Dream Marsh, which permitted them to employ divination and complex calculations to trace its whereabouts from the Starry Sky Sea to this specific location.

"Whale King, we harbor no ill intentions; we merely seek knowledge of the Kunpeng Egg's current location."

The pupils of Pinghai Monarch appeared to ignite with a dark-blue, spectral flame as he addressed the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale before them.

Although their combined strength was sufficient to overpower the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale currently confronting them.

He suspected, owing to the peculiar formation surrounding this Sea Eye, that the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale was not an isolated demonic entity but rather affiliated with a specific powerful faction.

Furthermore, to vanquish a Fourth Rank Demon King like this, a certain price would inevitably be paid.

Especially since he was spearheading this hunt; should the situation spiral, and the Dragon Whale retaliate ferociously, he would surely sustain grievous injuries.

Although his trust in True Monarch Fu Hai and True Monarch Ling Bo was absolute, he still favored a peaceful resolution if the opportunity arose.

"I am completely unaware of any Kunpeng Egg; you persistently bother me, believing me to be easily intimidated!"

Within Lu Lingjing's voice, a surge of fury was evident.

Earlier, while she slumbered in the Starry Sea, anticipating her Master's arrival, this man clad in blue armor had disturbed her peace.

Now, as she enjoyed a sound sleep, this same blue-armored individual had appeared once more to disrupt her, just as the Lady had foretold, calling for assistance.

Lu Lingjing was incensed, her body practically buzzing with the urge to engage in combat.

However, the Lady had cautioned her: if the blue-armored man returned with reinforcements, she should waste no time in attempting to flee into other Deep Seas, thereby evading them.

As a Fourth Rank Demon King of the ocean type, she possessed a natural superiority within these expansive seas compared to the cultivators.

Moreover, these Nascent Soul cultivators were pursuing her for the Kunpeng Egg, leading them to deliberately suppress their Qi Mechanism in order to minimize any disturbance.

"Whale King, this True Monarch has previously sensed the aura of the Kunpeng Egg emanating from you; your claims are unconvincing. If you are willing to surrender the Kunpeng Egg, I am amenable to offering other valuable items in exchange."

Monarch Pinghai declared, his tone conveying the utmost sincerity.

The Kunpeng Egg was a treasure of immense rarity; once acquired, its value was immeasurable, whether intended for nurturing or for the practice of specific cultivation techniques.
