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

Chapter 2080: Chapter 688: Shadow Sect Returns, Whale Hunt Banquet! (Part 3)

It should be known that in the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, cultivators at the peak of Core Formation are few and far between.

Aside from myself, almost all of them are well-known, coming from the Four Great Immortal Sects.

This person’s appearance is definitely not that of any Core Formation Great Master from the Four Great Immortal Sects.

"Wait... this qi mechanism of magic power..."

Lu Changsheng looked at the black-robed man and suddenly felt that the other party’s qi mechanism of magic power was somewhat familiar, but couldn’t recall from where.

"What’s wrong, husband?"

Hong Lian, seeing Lu Changsheng’s grave expression, used the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror and couldn’t help but ask.

"I see someone a bit suspicious..."

Lu Changsheng pinched his chin and said, still pondering where he had encountered this qi mechanism of magic power before.

"Suspicious?"

Hong Lian had long guessed that the destruction of a Fourth Rank Demon King by the Great Dream Immortal City made too much noise. Apart from the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, it might also attract the attention of other cultivation nation powers.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, she immediately suspected this scenario.

"Shadow Sect!"

After pondering for a long time, Lu Changsheng finally remembered why this qi mechanism of magic power felt somewhat familiar.

Twenty-one years ago, under the identity of the [Bi Lake Mountain Master], he broke through Core Formation in the Great Dream Immortal City.

The he noticed a divine sense mark on his daughter when he brought his wife Lu Miaoge and daughter Lu Wangshu back to Bi Lake Mountain, which lured a Nascent Soul cultivator to attempt to kill them.

Afterward, through the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique, Lu Changsheng learned that this person named [Partridge] came from the Yan Country’s Shadow Sect.

Their purpose in coming to Jiang Country was mainly to gather intelligence, infiltrate and instigate defection, and to assassinate cultivators.

Over the years, Lu Changsheng had not heard any further information about the Shadow Sect and thought the matter had passed.

Unexpectedly, another Shadow Sect cultivator came to Jiang Country, specifically to the Great Dream Immortal City.

"Is this person here for Partridge, or because of my destruction of the Fourth Rank Demon King?"

Through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Changsheng could see that this Shadow Sect cultivator was highly skilled in disguise.

Not only was the cultivation technique practiced capable of magical concealment of qi mechanisms, but they should also have relevant magical treasures on them.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to see through his circumstances.

"I just want to live quietly and develop my family. Why do they always have to disturb me?"

Lu Changsheng sighed softly, feeling as if he were a tree wishing for calm, but the wind refused to stop.

"But since you wish to court death, don’t blame this city master!"

Through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Changsheng observed the situation among the guests in the front hall, intending to see if there were any plotting individuals among them.

Having already destroyed a Fourth Rank Demon King, he did not mind killing another to serve as a warning!

....

After another hour, seeing that the front hall was nearly full, sensing a qi mechanism from a Nascent Soul, Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, looked at Hong Lian beside him, and said: "The main player has arrived, let’s go."

This Nascent Soul qi mechanism was neither released nor concealed, yet through its subtle sharpness, it was clear it came from the Heavenly Sword Sect!

"Mm."

Hong Lian intertwined her fingers with Lu Changsheng’s, walking side by side towards the front hall.

As the two stepped into the front hall, which was initially abuzz with conversation and discussion, silence fell instantly.

All eyes turned towards Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian.

"Greetings to the city master, city master’s wife!"

The cultivators present bowed towards Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian.

Though they were all Core Formation cultivators, they knew well the existence of these two who hunted the Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King!

Several male cultivators cast stunning glances at Hong Lian but dared not stare for long.

"Is that person the Great Dream City Master?"

Absolute Sword True Monarch looked at Lu Changsheng, who approached wearing a dark, broad robe, with a handsome and scholarly demeanor.

Like a mortal, showing no sign of any qi mechanism.

Yet upon closer inspection, his tall and sturdy stature seemed cloaked in a Seamless Celestial Robe, making it impossible to see through him in the slightest.

"Has this Great Dream City Master already broken through to Nascent Soul?"

Though Absolute Sword True Monarch had not used his Spiritual Eye Pupil Technique, as a sword cultivator, his vision and spiritual sense far surpassed those of his peers.

Yet before the Great Dream City Master, he couldn’t discern anything.

Not only this city master.

The city master’s wife beside him, although only at Core Formation Sixth Layer cultivation level.

She was elegant, with a figure flowing with a hazy luster, as if exuding celestial charm, along with an aura of long-standing detached transcendence and nobility, giving him a sense of her not being simple.

"Greetings, Daoist friends."

Although Absolute Sword True Monarch was a sword cultivator, he was not without social grace, slightly bowing towards Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, presenting a well-prepared generous gift.

After all, having hunted a Fourth Rank Demon King, although only Core Formation cultivators, the two were qualified to speak with him, and be addressed as Daoist friends.

"The presence of Absolute Sword True Monarch graces our humble city, it is an honor for me as this city master..."

Lu Changsheng returned the bow courteously, then looked towards the other cultivators in the hall and said, "We also welcome all Daoist friends to my Great Dream Immortal City..."

During his speech, he indicated for the banquet to officially begin as he and Hong Lian seated themselves at the seat of honor.

"Hosting this banquet, I believe all of you Daoist friends are well aware."

"My wife and I are new to Jiang Country, causing quite a stir, so we thought to take this opportunity to get acquainted with everyone here, exchange cultivation insights, and by the way, hold a trade fair."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile while holding a winecup.

"Naturally, naturally."

"Delighted and most willing."

Some cultivators remained silent while others responded immediately.

"Why have the two of you only recently arrived in Jiang Country and then assumed control of the Great Dream Immortal City?"

At this moment, Absolute Sword True Monarch, dressed in a black sword-attire long robe, with ordinary yet distinct facial features, and a body seemingly harboring a world-class divine sword, asked.

These words fell, causing a brief pause amongst the cultivators present, who remained silent or looked toward the couple.

Knowing well that Heavenly Sword Sect harbored apprehension toward the current Great Dream Immortal City.

After all, thirty years ago, Azure Phoenix Immortal, who controlled the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, suddenly returned as a Nascent Soul, affecting Jiang Country’s power dynamics.

Now, with Dreamless and his wife mysteriously disappearing, and a new pair of city masters capable of hunting Fourth Rank Demon Kings abruptly appearing, how could Heavenly Sword Sect, the overlord of Jiang Country, sit still?

The cultivators present never expected Absolute Sword True Monarch to be this direct, getting straight to the point.
