Establish a long-lived family from the son-in-law

Chapter 935 I heard you're demanding an explanation from me?

"Just three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators?"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Honglian, using the grand formation, looked at the three Nascent Soul cultivators above the Immortal City and frowned slightly.

She was not surprised by the attack of the Nascent Soul cultivator; she had anticipated it.

From the end of the Liangyue War, when the fame of True Lord Yangming resounded throughout the southern and northern wildernesses, she realized that a potential crisis was beginning to brew.

the reason is simple.

A Core Formation cultivator who rises to become a Nascent Soul giant in just a few decades will inevitably attract the fear and covetousness of other forces.

Moreover, back in the days of the Vast Sands Illusionary Domain, True Monarch Qingluan obtained the core opportunity of the secret realm, which attracted many Nascent Soul cultivators to surround and kill him.

Even the Core Formation cultivator Yangming Zhenjun was drawn into the matter, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qingluan Zhenjun.

Now that these cultivators have heard about Yangming Zhenjun's situation, they will surely take action.

Or apologize to resolve the feud;
Or they may flee to distant lands to seek protection from powerful forces;

Or they could form an alliance to jointly resist or even deal with Yangming Zhenjun.

From the cultivators who have visited the Great Dream Immortal City over the years, Honglian has discerned that many of them come to inquire about their husbands' attitudes, situations, and personalities.

Therefore, when receiving some visitors, Honglian would deliberately express that her husband was not in a position to receive guests.

Even in the Great Dream Immortal City, news spread that True Lord Yangming was suspected of being seriously injured and in poor condition.

I just want to see what kind of clowns are lurking in the shadows.

Then, by making an example of someone to deter others, we can deter some potential enemies.

She just hadn't expected that only three Nascent Soul cultivators would come.

Moreover, judging from their appearance, all three were cultivators at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Back then in the Vast Sands Illusionary Domain, there were five Nascent Soul cultivators who directly attacked my husband and Azure Phoenix True Monarch."

“Besides the fall of True Monarch Zi Cang, there were four Nascent Soul cultivators, but only two of them have come.”

In recent years, Honglian, representing the Great Dream Immortal City and True Lord Yangming, has taken over and handled the affairs of the Jiang Kingdom, and has also spent a lot of time understanding the situation of the major forces in the Southern Wilderness and Northern Regions.

They also have some understanding of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Northern Region.

“There are also Nascent Soul cultivators watching from the shadows!” Honglian was quite certain in her heart.

An injured tiger is still a tiger.

Even though True Monarch Yangming was seriously injured and in poor condition, he was not someone that three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators could easily bully.

In particular, the news that Yangming Zhenjun was seriously injured has not been confirmed.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, Golden Roc."

Honglian stopped thinking and called out to Qian Zhuyan in the Puppet Hall of the City Lord's Mansion and Jin Peng in the back hall.

He then crushed the two jade talismans, held the array plate in his hand, walked out of the city lord's mansion, looked at the three Nascent Soul cultivators outside the immortal city, and scolded, "How dare you!"

"Back in the Vast Sands Illusionary Realm, your Purple Azure Mountain gang ambushed and killed my husband. My husband has yet to settle this score with you, and yet you have come knocking on our door demanding an explanation?"

Honglian wore a red dress embroidered with gold and silver threads. The wide skirt trailed behind her, and her black hair, adorned with a peach blossom crown, fluttered in the wind. She exuded an indescribable ethereal and otherworldly charm, and was exceptionally noble.

Although she had reached the Core Formation stage.

Facing three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he showed no fear whatsoever, even exuding a subtle sharpness and restrained domineering aura.

As they spoke, a golden roc, its entire body gleaming as if cast in gold, appeared above the city lord's mansion, its cold and sharp eyes fixed on the three people outside the immortal city.

"She is Yangming Zhenjun's Daoist partner, Li Muwan!"

"The city lord's wife is indeed a Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

"The city lord's wife is truly domineering; she showed no fear in the face of three Nascent Soul cultivators."

"This golden roc is the spirit pet of True Lord Yangming, True Lord Golden Roc!"

"Why hasn't the City Lord appeared? Could it be true, as rumored, that the City Lord is seriously injured and in poor condition?"

The cultivators of the Immortal City were astonished and began to discuss the appearance of the Red Lotus and the Golden-Winged Roc.

As the fame of Yangming Zhenjun spread far and wide, the spirit pet Jinpeng Zhenjun also became known to many people.

As for Lady Honglian, the city lord's wife, she is usually elusive and mysterious, and few people know much about her.

However, as the reputation of Yangming Zhenjun spread, most cultivators believed that the latter was a Nascent Soul Zhenjun!
The Nascent Soul cultivator from Zicang Mountain felt a sudden tightness in his heart and a sense of dread the moment the Golden-Winged Roc's eyes fell upon him.

However, he was surprised when he saw Honglian.

The latter does not appear to be a Nascent Soul cultivator, but rather a Core Formation cultivator.

However, seeing Honglian's unparalleled beauty and imposing aura, Qingcang Zhenjun subconsciously felt that she was hiding her cultivation level.

He mustered his courage and said coldly, "Settle scores with us? You'd better have the guts!"

"If it weren't for that brat Yangming faking his death and hiding his identity, we would have killed him long ago, instead of letting him be so arrogant until now!"

"Yangming brat, come out here!"

Although Qingcang Zhenjun was wary of Yangming Zhenjun and the Golden-Winged Roc before him.

But the loser does not lose the formation.

I've already been brought here, and if I cower and shrink back now, I'll only make a fool of myself.

really.

The words of True Monarch Qingcang shocked many cultivators in the Great Dream Immortal City.

He wondered who these three Nascent Soul cultivators were, that they dared to disregard his city lord and call him a child.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Qian Zhuyan's eyes glowed with a faint, cold, and indifferent soul fire, as if he wished he could just kill his way out.

However, in her previous battle, her puppet body was damaged, and all the puppets that formed the battle formation were damaged to some extent, greatly reducing her combat power, so it was inconvenient for her to take action now.

"You lowly scoundrels, how dare you presume to have my husband show his face!"

Honglian manipulated the array plate in her hand, fully activating the Immortal City Array. Her aura connected with the array's aura, causing her palace dress to flutter and spread upwards towards the Immortal City.

In an instant, the Golden-Winged Roc, which was entrenched in the City Lord's Mansion, cried out to the sky, spread its wings, and pounced towards the three True Monarchs of the Azure Sky.

For the Golden-Winged Roc, who was used to high-level games, facing three Nascent Soul cultivators was no pressure at all!
"How brave!"

When the three True Monarchs of Azure Sky saw Red Lotus and Golden-Winged Roc attacking, they were both shocked and furious.

To everyone's surprise, Honglian was actually a Core Formation cultivator, not a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

What angered them was that these mere Core Formation cultivators dared to directly rebuke them!
"The city lord's wife isn't a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Some cultivators in the Immortal City were astonished when they saw the aura emanating from the Crimson Lotus Fusion Array.

Although it merged with the Immortal City's grand formation, the Red Lotus's magical power far surpassed that of an ordinary Core Formation Grandmaster.

However, there is a qualitative difference between the power of Core Formation and the power of Nascent Soul, and they can sense it.

For a time, many people were surprised and horrified.

Back then, in the Illusory Realm of the Vast Sands, True Lord Yangming, with his Core Formation stage, defied the Nascent Soul stage and attacked the Nascent Soul stage.

Could it be that this city lord's wife is also preparing to form a core to contend with a nascent soul?

"Fellow Daoists, it's time to make our move!"

"I am the Azure True Lord!" he shouted, his voice steady and clear.

Just as Honglian had guessed, there were naturally more than just the three of them who came on this trip.

Otherwise, if they came over and Yangming Zhenjun was in good condition, wouldn't they be throwing their lives away?

As the words of True Monarch Qingcang rang out, two figures emerged from the void beside him.

These were the other two people who, along with True Monarch Zi Cang, besieged True Monarch Qing Luan in the Illusory Realm of the Vast Sands back then.

They not only attacked True Monarch Qingluan and True Man Yangming in the Illusory Realm of the Vast Sands.

Afterwards, they also sent people to inquire about the two and to hunt down Qingluan Zhenjun.

Under such circumstances, the enmity between the two sides is difficult to resolve.

Unless they abandon their current foundation and flee to other regions to seek the protection of powerful forces, they will be in grave danger when True Lord Qingluan and True Lord Yangming come to settle scores with them.

So, at Luo Fuzi's invitation, he chose to come to the Great Dream Immortal City.

"Two more Nascent Soul True Monarchs!"

The cultivators of the Great Dream Immortal City were horrified upon seeing this.

Five Nascent Soul cultivators would be a formidable fighting force, no matter where they were placed, enough to stir up the winds and clouds in the cultivation world.

The fact that Yangming Zhenjun captured and killed six Nascent Soul cultivators, and his fame spread throughout the Southern and Northern Wilderness regions, demonstrates this.

Moreover, among the six Nascent Soul True Lords captured and killed by True Lord Yangming, True Lord Fenmo, True Lord Youyue, and True Lord Huangquan were all newly promoted Nascent Soul True Lords.

The strength of the five people in front of them is probably not much weaker than the six Nascent Soul cultivators captured and killed by True Monarch Yangming.

"Boom——"

The five Nascent Soul cultivators attacked together, their power overwhelming the sky and even causing the void to collapse.

Even if the Golden-Winged Roc digests the remnant soul of the Yellow Spring Flood Dragon, further advances its bloodline, and increases its strength, it will still be difficult to contend with it.

"A mere Core Formation cultivator thinks he can contend with a Nascent Soul cultivator just by relying on the power of the great formation!"

The Azure True Lord had already unleashed his natal spiritual treasure, its aura surging and powerful, clearly having been brewing for a long time.

Faced with the overwhelming force rushing towards her, Honglian formed hand seals, and endless flames spread around her, forming pillars of light that shot into the sky from the Immortal City's grand formation.

Just then, a clanging sword light slashed out from the city lord's mansion, its sharpness unparalleled and unstoppable—it was the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass!
However, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass did not attack from a distance.

Instead, it transformed into the Nine Tribulations Sword and flew towards Azure True Monarch.

"Chi chi chi——"

The sword light, sharp as a waterfall, swept away everything in its path, shattering the attack of the Azure True Lord.

"This is the sword of True Lord Yangming!"

Qingcang Zhenjun and Yinlei Zhenjun recognized the Nine Tribulations Sword.

Seeing that the Nine Tribulations Sword could unleash such terrifying sword light even without anyone controlling it, the group was shocked, moved, and filled with greed.

They immediately switched from offense to defense, observing the situation in the Great Dream Immortal City and whether True Lord Yangming was in the shadows.

However, seeing the Nine Tribulations Sword fall into the hands of Honglian, who then unleashed a series of sharp sword lights, the group felt a jolt of excitement.

Realizing that Yangming Zhenjun was not present.

Or rather, Yangming Zhenjun's condition was worse than they had imagined.

Otherwise, how could things have come to this point and they still haven't appeared?

He allowed his spirit pet to attack while his wife, a Core Formation stage cultivator, wielded his sword!

"Gentlemen, delay may lead to unforeseen circumstances; let's finish this quickly!"

The five True Monarchs of Azure Sky attacked together, hoping to quickly defeat the Great Dream Immortal City, capture the Golden-Winged Heavenly Roc and the Red Lotus before them, and then deal with True Monarch Yangming.

Although Honglian, who wielded the Nine Tribulations Sword, was not as amazing as Lu Changsheng, she was able to barely display the power of the Nine Tribulations Sword while merging with the great formation, so as not to be a hindrance.

"Boom boom boom——"

A great battle broke out between the two sides, with divine light colliding and intertwining between heaven and earth, creating a deafening sound.

The terrifying aftershocks continued to sweep outwards, causing the seawater within a radius of hundreds of miles around the immortal city to boil and roar, exploding with a thunderous sound.

The Great Dream Immortal City shook violently from the aftershocks, and the spiritual light and restrictions of the great array flickered, barely holding on thanks to the garrisoned cultivators of the immortal city.

"Why hasn't the city lord appeared yet? Could it be that, as the rumors say, he is seriously injured?"

"Could it be that True Lord Yangming isn't in the Immortal City? But his spirit pet and sword are here."

Most cultivators in the Immortal City couldn't see the battle between Nascent Soul cultivators clearly, and some even trembled and turned pale under the aftershocks.

But seeing that his city lord, True Lord Yangming, had not appeared for a long time, he couldn't help but worry.

After all, once the immortal city is breached, without the protection of the great formation, such Nascent Soul power could easily annihilate most of them.

Why hasn't True Lord Yangming shown himself yet?

Bai Zhaozhao frowned as she watched the battle above the immortal city.

Previously, she suspected that True Lord Yangming was not in seclusion in the Great Dream Immortal City.

After all, the Great Dream Immortal City is only a third-tier spiritual vein, which is far from sufficient to support the other party's cultivation.

Seeing the Golden-Winged Roc and the Nine Tribulations Sword, she gradually became puzzled.

As rumored, Yangming Zhenjun was severely injured and in extremely poor condition, making it difficult for him to make a move in the secret passage.

Otherwise, why would he hand over his sword to someone else?
"If True Lord Yangming is unable to intervene, this city is likely in danger."

Bai Zhaozhao's small face was delicate and indifferent, with a pale golden luster flowing in her pupils.

Although, based on the current situation, the two sides are evenly matched.

However, this city lord's wife only has the cultivation level of Core Formation.

If this continues for too long, it may become unsustainable to activate this magic sword.

As she watched the battle raging in the sky, Bai Zhaozhao pondered whether she should lend a hand.

Although according to the rules of the Tianyan Sect, one should not interfere too much in the disputes between other forces.

But through the Golden-Winged Roc, she knew that the Bai Xi bloodline she had encountered in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was most likely a descendant of Yangming Zhenjun.

Therefore, she had a good impression of Yangming Zhenjun, whom she had never met, and was willing to help him and show goodwill.

However, at this moment, Bai Zhaozhao discovered that the calamity aura surrounding the Great Dream Immortal City had not risen and spread, indicating that the Immortal City would not face a major crisis.

"Ok?"

Bai Zhaozhao immediately touched her forehead with her finger, and a pure silver horn appeared, making her seem to connect with heaven and earth.

In an instant, she discerned the situation.

The Great Dream Immortal City still has a backup plan.

Furthermore, looking at the red lotus holding the Nine Tribulations Sword in the sky, Bai Zhaozhao felt an indescribable sense of unease.

This magic sword, even when no one was wielding it, had already unleashed a Nascent Soul level sword light.

However, once it fell into the hands of this city lord's wife, its power did not increase in the slightest.
"True Lord Yangming is in the Immortal City, secretly observing the situation!"

A moment later, a guess came to Bai Zhaozhao's mind.

They believe that Yangming Zhenjun deliberately set a trap to lure people out.

Otherwise, the situation is very wrong now.

At this very moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, refining the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk in his Qi Sea Dantian.

Although he could quickly travel between the two places using the Dust-Mist Banner and the secondary banner integrated into the spiritual veins of the Great Dream Immortal City.

However, Penglai Island is far away from the Great Dream Immortal City, and the consumption is enormous.

Since burning spirit stones to activate the Dust-Cleansing Banner would also cause him a great deal of energy consumption.

"Five Nascent Soul cultivators are enough to make up for the loss of my burning spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng recovered his magic power slightly and looked at the five Nascent Soul cultivators fighting against Honglian and the Golden-Winged Roc outside the Immortal City with a calm and indifferent expression.

He then used a communication talisman to send a telepathic message to Xuanjian Zhenjun at Yunmeng Restaurant: "Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, you can cover for me."

Honglian had anticipated the situation; there might be an enemy attack. How could she rely solely on the Golden-Winged Roc and the Nine Tribulations Sword?

Over the years, she has taken over the management of Jiang Kingdom affairs on behalf of Lu Changsheng, so she sent a message to her ally "True Lord Xuanjian" early on.

He hoped the other party would stay in the Great Dream Immortal City for a while, so that if he sent a message to Lu Changsheng, the latter would not be able to return in time.

Having witnessed Lu Changsheng's combat prowess, Xuanjian Zhenjun was willing to curry favor and come to the Immortal City to oversee the situation.

However, Lu Changsheng returned in time, so Xuanjian Zhenjun did not need to take much action.

"Boom boom boom——"

Above the Immortal City, the five True Monarchs, including Qingcang True Monarch and Yinlei True Monarch, who were fighting against Honglian and Jinchi Tianpeng, suddenly sensed something. They saw a large hand with distinct yin and yang patterns appear in the sky.

"Oh no! This is the divine power of True Lord Yangming!"

"careful!"

The next moment, they saw a man in a black robe and cloak, with a handsome and refined face, walk out of the void. He looked down at them calmly and said, "I heard that you came to ask me for an explanation?"

Before they could reply, Lu Changsheng looked at Honglian and softly called out, "Sword, come."

The Nine Tribulations Sword in Honglian's hand suddenly rang out with a clang, bursting forth with a tidal wave of sharp sword energy. One after another, nine-leaf sword grasses bloomed in the void and then flew down into Lu Changsheng's hand.

At this moment, the true power of the Nine Tribulations Sword was revealed.

Endless, sharp sword energy tore through the sky and shattered the earth, directly engulfing and submerging this entire world.

In an instant, the five people, including True Monarch Qingcang and True Monarch Yinlei, were all terrified.
