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

Chapter 2703: Chapter 873_5

But in cultivator duels, or in war, it’s precisely these idiots that create opportunities.

"You, Daoist Friend, captured and killed four Nascent Soul cultivators of Liang Country, reversed the battlefield situation, and made an achievement as great as the heavens. Xuanjian is impressed."

"Now that Liang Country’s combat strength has suffered heavy losses, the only things we need to pay attention to are Nine Spirits True Monarch and the Demon Envoy lurking in the dark."

Xuanjian True Monarch cupped his hands and said: "City Lord Wang has subdued True Monarch Fen Mo—can he learn anything about the Demon Envoy’s situation?"

"As for this Demon Path Envoy, Fen Mo doesn’t know much. He’s unclear about his true strength, and only speculates that this person is very likely from Blood Sea Sect of the Demonic Seven Sects."

Lu Changsheng said frankly.

He wasn’t particularly worried about this Demon Path Envoy.

Whether according to his divination on fortune and calamity, or his analysis from all aspects, this Demon Path Envoy’s strength was at most Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

There was absolutely no possibility of Nascent Soul Late Stage.

"Blood Sea Sect..." Xuanjian True Monarch nodded slightly. Judging from the war situation over these years, as well as the matter of Ming Sha True Monarch, he also had similar speculation.

"Does Daoist Friend have confidence in handling this Demon Path Envoy?"

Xuanjian True Monarch asked aloud.

He could deal with Nine Spirits True Monarch.

The only one he feared and could not size up was this Demon Path Envoy.

"As long as he’s not a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator, I can handle him."

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanjian True Monarch’s eyes immediately burst forth with two streaks of sword light. He said, "In that case, I’ll go discuss with Daoist Primordial and Daoist Zi Guang right now, spread the news of your battle merits to boost morale, and then launch a counterattack on Liang Country!"

He knew that Lu Changsheng’s visit this time was not only to end this war.

But also to pacify and occupy Liang Country!

And then use Liang Country in exchange for his own Jiang Country.

"Fine."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He then asked, "I remember Yuan Country has several Nascent Soul True Lords, but only the Nascent Soul True Lords of Seven Killings Sect and Tianmu Sect came to help. Will Yuan Country send further reinforcements?"

"The probability is low. Yuan Country and Liang Country are not like Jiang Country and Yue Country, with teeth cold once the lips are gone. They merely want to use Liang Country to get a slice of the pie in this war."

Xuanjian True Monarch immediately shook his head and said, "After hearing of Daoist Friend’s strength, Seven Killings Sect and Tianmu Sect might even choose to withdraw their troops and leave."

"Withdraw and leave..."

Lu Changsheng looked toward the stronghold where Absolute Sword True Monarch was, unwilling to let Seven Killings Sect off just like that.

After all, previously in Yue Country, Seven Killings Sect had a Late Stage Core Formation cultivator beheaded by him under the identity of Changsheng True Master, and then sent three cultivators to infiltrate Jiang Country, intending to take revenge on the Lu Family.

He had always kept this matter in mind.

"Mm, what plans does City Lord Wang have?" Xuanjian True Monarch said.

"Can the armies of Barebody Sect, Tianmu Sect, and Seven Killings Sect retreat? If they haven’t withdrawn, please, Daoist Friend, guard the city here, while I make a trip to the other battlefronts."

Lu Changsheng spoke thus, intending to see if he could find the Nascent Soul True Lords of Seven Killings Sect and behead them.

"I’ll ask." Xuanjian True Monarch immediately sent a query to Absolute Sword True Monarch, asking whether the Demonic armies on their side had withdrawn.

Not long after, Absolute Sword True Monarch sent back word: the Demonic armies were already retreating and shrinking their lines.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng could only dismiss his idea.

With a fortified Immortal City guarding them, even if he wanted to break the Great Formation, it would take some time.

Moreover, Liang Country would definitely make some major moves next; it was better for him not to leave on a whim.

...

After Xuanjian True Monarch finished his talk with Lu Changsheng, he questioned the Jiang Country cultivators of Red Peak Immortal City about the details of the previous battle.

"Reporting to True Monarch: earlier, Yellow Springs True Monarch, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, and Fen Mo True Monarch attacked. Ming True Monarch, through True Monarch Nether Moon’s interference on Yellow Springs True Monarch, scattered his strength and thus fought a quick battle, swiftly resolving Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Fen Mo True Monarch..."

"Besides Golden Roc True Monarch, Yangming True Monarch also has a Fourth Rank Puppet."

"This Fourth Rank Puppet seems to possess independent consciousness, able to form a Puppet Battle Array, completely matching a Nascent Soul True Lord in strength!"

These few cultivators immediately described, with respectful expressions, the combat process between Lu Changsheng and the three, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and the others.

"Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch self-destructed his Magic Body!? A Spiritual Treasure that restrains Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies?"

Hearing that Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s self-destruction of his Magic Body hadn’t affected Lu Changsheng at all, Xuanjian True Monarch couldn’t help but feel shocked.

Though such a hasty Magic Body self-destruction couldn’t compare to a Nascent Soul Spirit Body self-destruction,

its power was still extremely terrifying, comparable to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage strike.

Yet Yangming True Monarch was completely unaffected, not injured in the slightest, and in that brief gap, finished off Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Fen Mo True Monarch together.

"This Yangming True Monarch’s physical body and physique must be far more terrifying than I imagined..."

Xuanjian True Monarch did know that Lu Changsheng practiced Magical Dual Cultivation.

But ordinary dual cultivation with Body Refinement, when facing such a Magic Body self-destruction, would more or less be affected and suffer some external injuries.

Of course, it was also possible that Yangming True Monarch’s Spiritual Treasures were extraordinary.

Besides that, he was stunned that Lu Changsheng, in addition to the two Fourth Rank Spiritual Pets—Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale—also had a Fourth Rank Puppet King.

Ordinary Fourth Rank puppets were similar to the Fourth Rank Beast Kings of Beast God Mountain.

They were refined from Fourth Rank Spiritual Materials; their combat strength could at most hold off a Nascent Soul True Lord for a short while, and couldn’t possibly truly contend on equal footing with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But a Fourth Rank Puppet King could only be refined by a top-level Puppet Master.

Rumor had it that not only were extremely high standards required for the puppet’s quality, but it also had to be nurtured like an Artifact Spirit of a Spiritual Treasure—through Soul Injection Techniques, a Puppet Spirit was gestated, producing independent consciousness.

Puppet Kings of this level were incredibly precious and rare, hardly inferior to Fourth Rank Transformed Demon Kings.

Even Xuanjian True Monarch had only heard of them, never seen one.

He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to actually possess one.

"Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant, Magical Dual Cultivation, top-level Sword Dao Treasure, top-level Escape Form Treasure, top-level Second Dantian Treasure, Spirit Treasure Armor..."

"Besides two extremely obedient Fourth Rank Spiritual Pets, he also has a Fourth Rank Puppet King..."

Thinking of all these methods he’d gleaned from his contact with Lu Changsheng during this period, Xuanjian True Monarch pondered whether this was some Great Power who had either seized a body or reincarnated.

After all, judging from Yangming True Master’s rise, apart from body snatching or reincarnation by a Great Power, there was no other possibility left.

How could a normal cultivator have such a speed of rise?

However, the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm was vast and boundless, and what he knew was limited.

He couldn’t, based on this little information, immediately find corresponding information about such a Great Power, and planned to dig into these records when he had time.

Without pondering too much, Xuanjian True Monarch began notifying Absolute Sword True Monarch and the others to discuss the follow-up strategy.
