Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2624: Turning the Tables, Absolute Sword True Monarch Astonished! (Double - )

"Husband, how do you plan to arrange this matter?"

After Absolute Sword True Monarch left, Hong Lian looked at Lu Changsheng and asked softly.

Previously, when Lu Changsheng was preparing to inform the Heavenly Sword Sect of the annihilation of the Yiming Ghost Sect, she had already anticipated this scene.

After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect was already full of suspicion toward Great Dream Immortal City and lacked trust.

If not for the Liangyue War consuming too much of their energy and battle power, then the very first time Lu Changsheng revealed his Nascent Soul battle power, the Heavenly Sword Sect would likely have already adopted a hardline stance.

Now, not only had Lu Changsheng displayed terrifyingly astounding battle power, he had also formed an alliance with Jin Kingdom’s Five Poisons Cult and the Heavenly Corpse Sect—how could the Heavenly Sword Sect still sit still?

Once Great Dream Immortal City harbored ill intent, it could crush the Heavenly Sword Sect’s rear lines.

If they colluded and cooperated with Liang Country, they could even form a pincer offensive from front and back, wiping out the Heavenly Sword Sect in one fell swoop.

"Matters must be weighed in order of importance. Right now, the issue of the Seven Sects of the Ocean is more pressing."

"Moreover, this Absolute Sword True Monarch is still sitting in Jiang Country. The moment he heard our news, he rushed here to Great Dream Immortal City at once. This shows that the Yue Country front has not yet reached the point of utter desperation where they can no longer hold out."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

In his heart, he was still filled with concern about the Liangyue War.

Once the war collapsed across the board, it would inevitably affect Jiang Country and Bi Lake Mountain.

If the matter of the Seven Sects of the Ocean was solved, it would be fine—he could respond.

If the situation in the Starry Sky Sea had not yet been dealt with, then it would be extremely troublesome.

Besides this, he had multiple wives and many sons and daughters on the Liangyue battlefield.

Once the war broke apart, they would surely face extreme danger.

"Absolute Sword True Monarch’s visit this time is not to urgently push Husband to take the field and assist in battle, but because he is overly apprehensive—afraid that Husband will form a strategic cooperation with Jin Kingdom and Liang Country and strike at their Heavenly Sword Sect."

Hong Lian’s graceful figure swayed lightly as she came to Lu Changsheng’s side. With an elegant posture, she poured him a cup of Spiritual Tea, speaking in a gentle voice.

"But aside from a lack of trust, there is another reason—namely, that the Heavenly Sword Sect does not understand your true strength, Husband."

Hong Lian’s flawless, peerlessly beautiful face carried a dignified and elegant faint smile as she continued, not taking the Heavenly Sword Sect or the Liangyue War too much to heart.

After all, she had participated when Lu Changsheng slew Fu Hai True Monarch and Pinghai Monarch.

She knew that Lu Changsheng’s strength had already reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level.

Unless that Xuanjian True Monarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it would be hard for him to contend with Lu Changsheng.

Under such circumstances, neither the Heavenly Sword Sect nor the Liangyue War could pose a substantive threat to their own side.

At most, under the spillover of war and the coming of other troubles, there might be casualties among Lu Family Disciples and Lu Family womenfolk.

"Since Husband intends to form an alliance with the Heavenly Sword Sect, why not display some of your strength before this Absolute Sword True Monarch and turn passivity into initiative?"

Hong Lian understood Lu Changsheng’s temperament.

He cherished the wives, concubines, and children at home dearly and could not possibly allow the war to spill over and bring calamity to the Family.

So at this stage, forming an alliance with the Heavenly Sword Sect was the best choice.

As for the Heavenly Sword Sect’s lack of trust toward Great Dream Immortal City, that was actually easy to resolve.

In the Cultivation World, strength has always been the ultimate voice.

As long as Lu Changsheng displayed absolute strength, it would be equivalent to telling Absolute Sword True Monarch that their side had no interest in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Otherwise, if they truly wanted to wipe out the Heavenly Sword Sect, why would they need to cooperate with Jin Kingdom and Liang Country?

"Mm."

Lu Changsheng lifted the tea, took a small sip, and smiled faintly, intending to do just that.

"However, relying on strength alone will likely not be enough to make the Heavenly Sword Sect fully convinced."

Hong Lian’s red lips parted slightly as she smiled lightly and said, "Didn’t Husband once intend to borrow the name of a certain Legendary Great Cultivator and place it in the public eye?"

"We can just use this opportunity to hint at some information in a subtle way, telling Absolute Sword True Monarch that our coming to Jiang Country and Great Dream Immortal City this time is to prepare for the Great Tribulation."

"As for the specifics, there is no need to say much—let their Heavenly Sword Sect speculate on their own."

Although Hong Lian had spent most of her time in Closed-door Cultivation, sitting in the Immortal City for so many years had made her well aware of the current situation.

Wars were erupting everywhere, undercurrents were surging, and talk of the Great Tribulation and the advent of a Great Era was spreading.

"That will do."

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He felt that if he displayed his strength and then helped Jiang Country maintain stability without seeking any return, it would indeed lack a convincing reason.

If he fabricated some words about the Great Tribulation and long-term planning, the Heavenly Sword Sect might actually find it easier to believe.

Moreover, he could use this opportunity to state some of his needs and objectives.

"As for the Yue Country front, if Husband truly cannot rest easy, you can borrow the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Spirit Vein, and I will break through to Nascent Soul in the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Hong Lian continued, showing her willingness to share Lu Changsheng’s burdens and solve his difficulties.

After a hundred years together, she clearly knew that Lu Changsheng would never shortchange those close to him.

Even if she broke through now without being fully prepared and it would be somewhat rushed.

But she believed that Lu Changsheng would remember her contribution and think of a way to make it up to her in the future.

"There’s no need for that."

Lu Changsheng rejected the suggestion outright.

Rather than letting Hong Lian rush into a Nascent Soul breakthrough, it would be better to have her take Qian Zhuyan or Golden Peng on a trip.

Still, Hong Lian’s intention to share his worries warmed his heart.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll go see Absolute Sword True Monarch a bit later and also take a look at the specific situation of the Liangyue War before making further plans."

Holding Hong Lian’s fair, soft hand, Lu Changsheng said this, wanting to know the exact war situation of the Liangyue War.

Although from Yun Wanshang and Great Dream Immortal City’s intelligence, he had already learned much information about this war.

But the truest situation at the front was known only to the Nascent Soul True Lords of Jiang Country and Yue Country.
