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

Chapter 2311: Chapter 768: Juejian’s Visit and an Encounter with an Old Friend

Great Dream Immortal City.

City Lord Mansion.

“I wonder what brings Absolute Sword True Monarch to visit?”

Hong Lian arrived at the reception hall and looked at Yun Jianfeng, clad in a black brocade robe, his demeanor calm and sharp. She greeted him with an elegant smile, showing no restraint.

“Friend Li, I come today regarding the issue of Yue Country.”

This Sword Dao Nascent Soul True Lord wasted no time on pleasantries, getting straight to the point.

“Yue Country?”

Hong Lian vaguely guessed the purpose of Absolute Sword True Monarch’s visit.

As one of the Three Great Immortal Cities of Jiang Country, Great Dream Immortal City constantly monitors intelligence on surrounding powers.

In the past Liangyue War, Yue Country kept losing ground.

However, when the Vast Sand Illusion Realm opened, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch of Liang Country was slain in the Secret Realm, and Yun Mei Monarch severely injured, causing severe primordial energy damage to Liang Country, allowing Yue Country to counterattack.

Nevertheless, the Liangyue War remained deadlocked.

All these years, Jiang Country’s Four Great Immortal Sects have been supporting Yue Country, hoping to end this battle, but Liang Country showed tenacity.

Now Absolute Sword True Monarch has come, and Hong Lian suspects it’s related to the Liangyue War or perhaps a new variable has arisen in this conflict…

“According to the news, Liang Country and Wu Country have reached some form of cooperation. Consequently, it is likely Nascent Soul True Lords from Yuan Country will intervene, assisting Liang Country in its invasion of Yue Country. So, I wish to invite Friend Li and Friend Wang to lend assistance.”

Absolute Sword True Monarch spoke, revealing his purpose for coming.

Jiang Country enjoys a favorable geographical position, bordered by the Western Regions to the west, needing no concern, with the Great Dream Marsh as a natural barrier to the north, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and friendly Yue Country to the south.

The only worry is Jin Kingdom.

Now with Liang Country and Yuan Country cooperating, if they annex Yue Country, then Jiang Country becomes very precarious.

“Indeed.”

Hong Lian was aware of Yuan Country’s encroachment into Wu Country but didn’t know specifics.

Upon hearing Absolute Sword True Monarch’s words, she immediately understood the seriousness of the issue.

Yuan Country and Liang Country have reached cooperation, Nascent Soul True Lords may intervene.

Over the years, Yun Mei Monarch’s injuries are likely healed.

If Beast God Mountain pays the price, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch could possibly complete a possession reincarnation.

Under such circumstances, combined with Yuan Country’s assault, Yue Country’s Immortal Sects are undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Jiang Country may have two Nascent Soul True Lords, but they also have to guard against neighboring Jin Kingdom, and other cultivators lurking to attack.

“How many Nascent Soul True Lords will Yuan Country send?”

Despite only having Core Formation cultivation, Hong Lian faced Absolute Sword True Monarch with no fear, tranquil and graceful.

“Most likely two…”

On this matter, Absolute Sword True Monarch couldn’t be certain, merely passing on news from Yue Country, as the situation was bleak.

“Two…”

Hong Lian pondered slightly: “This matter requires consultation with my husband, but he is presently in closed-door cultivation, and it’s unclear when he will emerge.”

“May I ask, True Monarch, when will Yuan Country act?”

Though she was a Nascent Soul True Lord in her past life, she now has only the eighth level of Core Formation cultivation, with limited capability in Nascent Soul level battles.

She could at most use secret techniques to temporarily defend.

Moreover, she must remain at Great Dream Immortal City and cannot risk herself on this matter by deploying Nascent Soul secret techniques.

“The timing is uncertain, perhaps as short as a year, or as long as three to five years?”

Absolute Sword True Monarch replied, then inquired when City Lord Wang Lin might emerge from closed-door cultivation.

“To be honest, True Monarch, my husband and I came from the Northern Origin to Jiang Country, severely injured, and now my husband is healing, unlikely to emerge anytime soon.”

In the past, when Lu Changsheng went out, he typically returned within one or two years.

But this time, it’s been four years, and he hasn’t returned, so she’s unsure for now.

“Severely injured, unlikely to emerge soon.”

Absolute Sword True Monarch’s eyes, seemingly containing two peerless divine swords, slightly narrowed.

During the whale-hunting banquet held by Great Dream Immortal City, he had seen City Lord Wang take action.

Relying on a Fourth Rank Physique, he easily suppressed a Core Formation Great Master, showing no sign of injury.

As for the mysterious Wang City Lord and City Lord’s Wife, he and Xuanjian True Monarch had long speculated that the two were likely Nascent Soul True Lords.

But due to certain reasons, their realm cultivation was damaged.

“This matter is of great importance, Friend Li might communicate with Friend Wang.”

“Moreover, your support for this endeavor won’t go unrewarded. Since Friend Wang is severely injured, our Heavenly Sword Sect has some rare spiritual medicine, which may be useful.”

Absolute Sword True Monarch spoke with no hint of entreaty in his tone, looking evenly at Hong Lian, his face serious.

The Heavenly Sword Sect allowed the couple to govern Great Dream Immortal City, granting many privileges, not only due to Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian’s demonstrated capabilities, slaying a Fourth Rank Demon King, but because of their friendly demeanor.

They hope when Jiang Country faces danger and a future Demon Path calamity, the couple could contribute to the cause.

If Great Dream Immortal City now refuses to help with the Liangyue War, choosing to hide behind, then the Heavenly Sword Sect will reconsider its stance toward Great Dream Immortal City.

“I’ll inform my husband of this matter, and if there’s any news, I’ll immediately convey it to your sect.”

Hong Lian discerned the meaning in Absolute Sword True Monarch’s words, her red lips parted slightly, responding with a gentle smile.

“Alright.”

Absolute Sword True Monarch gazed at the lavishly adorned, elegant Hong Lian clad in a red and gold Vermilion Bird Skirt, then nodded and took his leave.

After the complete departure of Absolute Sword True Monarch, Hong Lian exhaled a fragrant breath, her face solemn, the elegant and poised smile disappearing, as she crushed the jade talisman left by Lu Changsheng.

Then she informed Ling Zixiao that in the coming days, the city’s vigilance should secretly increase a level.

Absolute Sword True Monarch’s visit bore a very clear intent.
