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

Chapter 2258: Chapter 747: Inheritance, Calamity Without Cause!_4

"Previously, a Fourth Rank Whale King never seen before appeared on Black Reef Island. This whale mysteriously arrived, possibly possessing innate divine abilities related to space. If it has a secluded space within its body, it might be able to isolate heavenly secrets."

At this time, a Nascent Soul True Lord, recalling earlier reports, spoke with suspicion about the unseen Fourth Rank Whale King at Black Reef Island.

Though this probability is very small, they don’t wish to miss any possibility.

"The whale demon beasts share a bloodline connection with the Kunpeng, possibly making it easier to sense the Kunpeng Egg. So there’s a chance this is possible."

"But the problem is that this Fourth Rank Whale King appeared mysteriously and is now nowhere to be found, making it extremely difficult to trace!"

The other Nascent Soul True Lords, while acknowledging this possibility, feel that finding this Whale King is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, if this Whale King truly possesses innate divine abilities related to space and can isolate heavenly secrets, finding it would be more than difficult.

All the Nascent Soul True Lords present knew they had not obtained it, thus after a brief exchange, one among them threw a Treasure Bead, which shone brightly, swirling around all the Core Formation cultivators present.

To see if anyone among them had come into contact with the Kunpeng Egg or had similar qi mechanisms as the Kunpeng Nest.

"These Nascent Souls are indeed persistent in searching for the Kunpeng Egg, unwilling to give up..."

"Previously, the Spiritual Whale searched for the Kunpeng Egg, and its qi mechanism must have been noticed by these Nascent Soul cultivators. If my identity as the Xuanmu Taoist suddenly disappears, it will immediately catch the attention of these Nascent Soul True Lords and Divination Grandmasters in the Starry Sky Sea."

"Though I possess the Tianyuan Lotus, which suppresses heavenly secrets and prevents calculation, based on some traces of my arrival in the Starry Sky Sea, if they investigate the Great Dream Marsh or Great Dream Immortal City, it will lead to a Great Tribulation."

Lu Changsheng’s heart slightly quivered, realizing where the ominous signs from his earlier divinations came from.

Not long after, the Treasure Bead floated near Shen Baishuang, but she did not obstruct it, allowing Lu Changsheng and others to be examined by the Treasure Bead.

Lu Changsheng appeared calm, maintaining his composure.

He was already prepared for this, having cleaned up his qi mechanism thoroughly, thus the Treasure Bead showed no reaction.

But at that moment, a gaze from a White Bone Palace seemingly between reality and the Great Void fell upon Lu Changsheng.

"Hmm?"

Lu Changsheng instantly felt a chilling coldness descend upon him.

Yet, the next moment, Shen Baishuang coldly rebuked toward the distance where the eerie and oppressive White Bone Palace stood: "What are you looking at!"

"Shen Baishuang, do you dare challenge my palace again? Have you not learned your lesson yet?"

Inside the seemingly bone-constructed palace, a melodious, cold, and enchanting voice emerged.

Upon closer inspection, through the steps, the gates, and the deep palace, a graceful silhouette lying horizontally on a throne could be seen.

But she was surrounded by dark blood light, as if shrouded by ghostly shadows, making her appearance and face indistinguishable, visible only as an elegant outline crowned with a Yingluo.

"Si Guihua, do you truly believe I’m afraid of you?"

Shen Baishuang, upon hearing this, unleashed a flood of scarlet twilight around her, as a golden ancient sword appeared in her hand accompanied by a crisp phoenix cry.

Though she was less formidable than the Six Paths Demon Consort, apart from her sister Shen Jianjia, she refuses to bow to anyone.

Besides, giving in after a prior defeat only weakens one’s stance. If she were to appear subdued now, she would not be Shen Baishuang.

"Haha, if you’re not afraid, why did you flee in disgrace earlier?"

The Six Paths Demon Consort chuckled delicately, her voice ethereal and charming, alluring, yet laced with sarcasm.

"Screech!!!"

The golden patterns on Shen Baishuang’s ancient sword interweaved and shimmered, as the Golden Phoenix Divine Phantom coiled out, tearing through the chaotic streams of void to charge at the White Bone Palace.

"Boom!"

Above the White Bone Palace, a gigantic ghost hand enveloping all the chaotic streams of void merged into one, emitting terrifying suppression, smacking towards the Golden Phoenix Divine Phantom.

The simple interactions between them shook the Great Void, as cracks in the void emerged from all directions, swirling with dark, dreadful currents.

"Princess Demon, Second Palace Master Shen, settle your grudges later. We have matters at hand. Can you both take a step back?"

Several Nascent Soul cultivators witnessing their clash intervened, neutralizing the aftermath of mana, speaking to mediate.

If it were any other Nascent Soul cultivators, they’d suspect intentional disruption.

Yet the Six Paths Demon Consort and Shen Baishuang are both notorious for their foul tempers and volatility.

Especially Shen Baishuang...

"This Second Palace Master is quite the fiery character..."

Lu Changsheng, though aware of Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang’s reputation, was bewildered seeing her provoke the Six Paths Demon Consort with just a few words.

After all, according to rumors, the Six Paths Demon Consort’s prowess surpassed Shen Baishuang by a level.

Isn’t picking a fight for no reason with someone like that asking for trouble?

"Hehe, alright, I shall see how tough she is later."

The ethereal, seductive voice of the Six Paths Demon Consort continued from the White Bone Palace; Shen Baishuang coldly snorted and ceased her actions.

The Nascent Soul cultivators resumed using the Treasure Bead to examine the other cultivators.

"Elder Xuanmu, have you encountered this wench?"

At this time, Shen Baishuang turned to Lu Changsheng, asking.

"..."

Lu Changsheng’s face twitched, fearing that if the Six Paths Demon Consort sought trouble, Shen Baishuang could flee, while he and others would be left in a bind.

Yet he responded with a slight bow: "Second Palace Master, I have not encountered the Six Paths Demon Consort."

"If that’s the case, why did she focus on you?"

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Shen Baishuang naturally noticed that the Six Paths Demon Consort’s gaze wasn’t on her but on Lu Changsheng.

"I don’t know either."

Lu Changsheng pondered briefly, then shook his head.

It wasn’t a lie; he really didn’t know why the Six Paths Demon Consort was interested in him.

Shen Baishuang knitted her brows lightly, then remarked with a knowing smile: "Could it be she’s taken an interest in you? Then again, you cultivators practicing Nourishing Life Techniques would make excellent furnaces."

"If that’s the case, Elder Xuanmu, you should be careful from now on."

Shen Baishuang finished, casting a provocative glance at the Six Paths Demon Consort.

After all, her words weren’t conveyed via Nascent Soul Divine Consciousness, and if the Six Paths Demon Consort wished, she could hear every word.

"...."

Lu Changsheng was speechless.

Why must I be dragged into this quarrel between you two women?

Prior, during divination, Lu Changsheng calculated uncertain omens, predicting a minor misfortune, or even medium misfortune.

He initially thought these omens were triggered by repercussions from the Kunpeng Egg.

Now it seems it might be a consequence of Shen Baishuang provoking the Six Paths Demon Consort.

"Second Palace Master, please don’t jest at my expense."

Lu Changsheng could only manage a "wry smile," then lowered his gaze, nose oriented to heart, avoiding further interaction with the Second Palace Master, lest she use him again to tease the Six Paths Demon Consort.

Yet in that moment, he couldn’t help but wonder why the Six Paths Demon Consort was focused on him?

Could it be related to Penglai Immortal City or the Desert Sea Crocodile God’s matters?

But the Six Paths Demon Consort has been stationed here on Black Reef Island all this time; shouldn’t those issues have spread here yet?
