Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1979: Chapter 655:

"Could it be a beast tide stirred up by a Fourth Rank Demon King!?"

Someone saw this scene and whispered in shock.

The essence of a beast tide is caused by higher-ranked demon beasts driving lower-ranked ones.

Now that four Third Rank Demon Kings have appeared, it means there are even more advanced Demon Kings behind them!

"Four of them?"

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

If there were only one or two, he and Lu Miaoge could easily step in and display their skills.

But with four coming at once, it would be rather difficult to handle, so they could only rely on the Great Formation for defense, and wait for the completion of his own Magic Artifact before stepping out to tidy up.

"Dad, what do you think?"

Next to him, Lu Qingshan faced the four Demon Kings without fear, and raised an eyebrow toward Lu Changsheng, asking out loud.

After all, his father had once slain Tu Yuan True Man, who was in the late stage of Core Formation, with a single stroke of the sword.

These four Third Rank Demon Kings before them, were not even worth considering.

"A bit tricky, let’s wait for now."

This Three Treasures Incarnation of Lu Changsheng, although possessing the power of the Ninth Layer of Core Formation, was certainly not convenient to fully unleash his power in his identity as Changsheng True Master.

"???"

Lu Qingshan was momentarily stunned by his words, thinking he had misheard, and looked at his father with a face full of confusion.

A bit tricky?

No way, how could such words come from your mouth?

But he soon understood what his father meant, feeling speechless, wanting to see how long his father would keep up this act and how he would solve the issue.

After all, he had learned from Lu Lingxiao’s mouth that the City Lord of this Immortal City was his own father.

"Xiao’er, let’s defend the city for now."

Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his son Lu Lingxiao, planning to wait until his [Demon Binding Lock] was refined before acting.

Besides, it was merely four Third Rank Demon Kings now, and the Fourth Rank Demon King he wanted to hunt hadn’t appeared yet!

"Yes!"

Lu Lingxiao looked at the densely packed beast tide outside the city, nodded slightly, then turned his head and said loudly, "With the beast tide incoming, starting now, Great Dream Immortal City will enforce vigilance and will no longer open."

"But please rest assured, fellow Daoists, my father has already refined a Secret Treasure to exterminate demons and is ready to hunt the Demon Kings. He has the ability to protect and ensure everyone’s safety, so please remain calm and work together to resist the beast tide..."

Lu Lingxiao stood tall like a mountain, speaking with a steady and powerful voice.

The sound spread through the Celestial City Formation, without a hint of tension, giving people a sense of indisputable absolute confidence!

This confidence was quite infectious, allowing the low-rank cultivators in the city to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, whether it was Great Dream Immortal City or the Spirit Taming Sect, or Azure Phoenix Immortal City, they had all experienced beast tide attacks multiple times without any breaches of the city occurring.

Moreover, if the beast tide exceeded expectations and became difficult to maintain, the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country would also come to assist in battling the beast tide.

Lu Lingxiao, looking at the Immortal City, continued loudly, "Our Great Dream Immortal City sincerely recruits you fellow loose cultivators, hoping to work together to contribute to city defense. Energy Refinement Late Stage cultivators will earn one military merit every three days, while Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivators will earn ten military merits each day..."

"After the daily settlement of military merits, they can be exchanged in our city for Spirit Stones, Elixir Medicines, Magic Artifacts, Cultivation Technique, and so on..."

As Lu Lingxiao spoke, he released a scroll several zhang wide, listing Elixir Medicines, Magic Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques Technique, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that could be exchanged.

Although the Third Rank Taboo Formation was self-contained and without weaknesses.

But facing the continuous attacks of the beast tide, there was still a possibility of the city wall formation being breached.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng knew very well that this beast tide was most likely stirred up by a Fourth Rank Demon King, so he naturally had to be prudent and couldn’t be stingy with these rewards.

Once a Fourth Rank Demon King arrived, he would merge with the formation, and with the aid of the Celestial City Formation, activate [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], these City Guard Cultivators augmenting the formation could provide him with Mana.

"Hiss, Third-tier Skill inheritance, Peripheral Sect Level Cultivation Technique, this is... "

"Not only is there a Foundation Establishment Elixir, but also a Coagulation Crystal Elixir; the City Lord Mansion is too generous!"

"First Grade Breakthrough Elixir, Second Grade Breakthrough Elixir, there’s even a Third Grade Breakthrough Elixir!"

"But it takes one hundred thousand military merits for the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, the City Lord Mansion does not seem sincere in their offer."

"After all, how can the Coagulation Crystal Elixir be cheap, this clearly shows the City Lord Mansion is demonstrating that they don’t lack strategic resources."

"You can’t say that either, if this beast tide lasts a year or two, there would be a chance for exchange."

The cultivators within the city, looking at the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures on the list, kept gasping in surprise, marveling at the City Lord Mansion’s wealth.

Even the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects and various top forces couldn’t help exclaiming, exchanging glances, wanting to know if the City Lord Mansion was merely listing them to attract people or if there truly were rewards.

Where there are great rewards, there must be brave cultivators.

For a while, many cultivators who were previously onlookers chose to enlist in the city defense to earn military merits.

...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Outside the Immortal City, the four Third Rank Demon Kings attacked from four directions, continuously bombarding the Immortal City, creating an unparalleled terrifying offensive.

At the same time, the Celestial City Formation began to operate at full capacity.

Endless azure blue water vapor, as dreamlike as it was illusory, rose and spread, seemingly sealing off the entire sky, with strands of crystalline light falling, connecting to the infinite water veins of the Great Dream Marsh, dissipating the repeated and heavy assaults of the demon beasts.

During this process, the formation occasionally erupted with massive waves, tornados, and blue lightning arcs as thick as water barrels, annihilating vast swathes of demon beasts.

Faced with such infinite and endless attacks from the Demon Kings, cultivators continuously went to relieve those at the formation platforms that were supporting the Celestial City Formation, while Lu Lingxiao also went to the City Lord Mansion to let his master Hong Lian oversee the formation.

The Celestial City Formation, must not fail!

No matter what, he was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a Second Rank Array Master.

Should any unexpected situation arise, it could lead to a breach in the formation, causing massive casualties.

Hong Lian, with cultivation at the Sixth Layer of Core Formation, as a Third Rank Array Master endowed with a Nascent Soul Level Soul, could push the formation to operate at its peak.
