Chapter 556: He raised his hand to suppress it, captured the dragon, and became famous in Jiang Kingdom!

Dream Immortal City, City Lord’s Mansion.

“Let’s go, Meng’er.”

Lu Changsheng, clad in a feathered robe and cloak, with a valiant and steady countenance, smiled at Honglian, who was wearing a light purple palace dress, beside him.

“Yes, husband.”

Honglian smiled sweetly, her appearance and temperament remarkably similar to Cloud Dream True Person.

Although many already knew the Immortal City had changed hands, the upcoming fight would reveal the truth and confirm it directly.

But Lu Changsheng had never intended to hide it from the major powers.

He was merely leveraging the authority and prestige that the Dreamless Mark couple had built over the past two centuries to stabilize the Immortal City’s situation.

This was to prevent rogue cultivators from causing turmoil and leaving upon hearing of the change in ownership, which would affect the Immortal City’s stability.

Therefore, it was fine if high-level cultivators knew, as long as it didn’t affect ordinary cultivators.

After a few more years, when the situation was completely stable, he and Honglian would reveal their identities. By then, other rogue cultivators would know the Immortal City had changed hands years ago and wouldn’t care too much.

After all, ordinary rogue cultivators only cared about stability and their lives, not the changing banners on the city walls!

“It’s the City Lord!”

“The City Lord is going to answer the challenge!”

“Greetings, City Lord!”

After the two walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion, a faint Core Formation aura emanated from them, and the guards immediately cupped their hands and bowed.

Patrolling cultivators, law enforcement cultivators, and rogue cultivators in the city also cupped their hands in greeting upon seeing them.

Immediately, under the gaze of others, Lu Changsheng and Honglian walked out of the Immortal City and arrived at the agreed-upon location for the battle.

“True Person Wuchen and True Person Yunmeng are here!”

Neither of them deliberately concealed their magic power.

Lu Changsheng even used the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi to temporarily raise his cultivation to the peak of the sixth layer of Core Formation and his physical body to the late third rank.

After all, even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit.

Encountering people who practiced the ‘Gou Dao’ like Azure Luan True Monarch and the Dreamless Mark couple, who knew if this Myriad Lake True Person had hidden strength?

What if this person wasn’t just a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator but a late-stage one, and he couldn’t take him down in one strike? Wouldn’t that fail to achieve the effect of ‘killing the chicken to scare the monkey’?

“So these are the masters of Dream Immortal City, True Person Wuchen and True Person Yunmeng!”

“Greetings, True Person Wuchen, True Person Yunmeng!”

“Greetings, City Lord!”

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wuchen, Fellow Daoist Yunmeng.”

The cultivators in the field all looked at Lu Changsheng and Honglian. Some nodded with a smile, some cupped their hands and bowed, and some quietly sized them up.

Even though many suspected the two in front of them were fakes, they didn’t dare to use eye techniques or divine sense to probe their true state.

After all, rashly using divine sense or eye techniques to probe could be seen as a provocation.

“Fellow Daoist Wuchen, Fellow Daoist Yunmeng, I trust you have been well.”

Myriad Lake True Person, wearing a lake-blue robe, stood atop the Flood Dragon’s head, sizing up Lu Changsheng and Honglian. He spoke, his entire body brimming with a surging aura ready to erupt.

Lu Changsheng’s divine sense was extraordinary. He could tell at a glance that Myriad Lake True Person was at the sixth layer of Core Formation, and the Flood Dragon beneath his feet had early third-rank strength.

However, a sixth-layer Core Formation cultivator with a third-rank spirit beast could be considered an outstanding figure among their peers.

“Fellow Daoist Myriad Lake.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, his demeanor refined, yet revealing a profound aura like mountains and river sources.

Without further ado, he directly said, “Since Fellow Daoist Myriad Lake has sent a challenge to us, husband and wife, let’s dispense with pleasantries. Please begin.”

“Alright, in that case, this True Person won’t hold back!”

Myriad Lake True Person’s face sank, and the Core Formation magic power he had been brewing for a long time erupted, causing wave after wave of tsunamis in the water below.

“Roar, roar, roar!”

Immediately after, a dragon’s roar echoed, and a sea-blue dragon-head wooden staff appeared, radiating brilliant profound light.

It was his Lifebound Magic Treasure - the Sea Dragon Staff!

The wooden staff rose from the ground like a giant dragon-wood, soaring into the sky, resembling a coiled azure sea dragon.

Ordinary cultivators facing this sea dragon and the invisible dragon’s roar felt dizzy and had their blood and qi churn.

Immediately, the dragon’s roar shook the heavens, and the sea dragon roared down, surging energy waves pushing aside the air, forming an overwhelming mountain-and-sea-like offensive, charging towards Lu Changsheng and Honglian.

“Is this the strength of a Core Formation True Person? How terrifying!”

“Myriad Lake True Person cultivates water-attribute techniques. Fighting above this Great Dream Marsh is beneficial to him. Cultivators of the same level are no match for him!”

“Although Myriad Lake True Person is challenging two people by himself, he also has a third-rank spirit beast, so he’s not at a disadvantage.”

“No, a battle of this level is not something we can watch!”

Everyone watched the battlefield, their expressions solemn, their hearts filled with dread.

Some ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, facing such surging spiritual pressure, felt their blood and qi churn and found it difficult to breathe, and quickly retreated.

Lu Changsheng and Honglian exchanged a glance, then took a step forward.

“Boom!”

His feathered robe and cloak fluttered. A layer of Vajra Indestructible radiance flowed and appeared on his body. Behind him, a faint figure of a three-headed, six-armed Vajra Ming King emerged. He directly broke through the waves, struck horizontally at the sky-high sea dragon, and charged towards Myriad Lake True Person himself.

“Roar!”

Seeing this, the third-rank Flood Dragon beneath Myriad Lake True Person’s feet immediately let out a roar and pounced towards Lu Changsheng with bared fangs and claws.

“Get lost!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the pouncing Flood Dragon and directly kicked out.

A power like a vast ocean surged, directly sending the pouncing Flood Dragon flying, kicking it into the Great Dream Marsh, causing monstrous waves to crash and countless water droplets to splash.

“This!!!”

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, frozen, and dumbfounded.

What the hell!

You must know, this was a third-rank Demon King!

Monster beasts have always been known for their formidable physical bodies!

And this Flood Dragon possessed Earth-rank bloodline, belonging to the elite among monster beasts.

Yet at this moment, it was kicked flying by a cultivator!

Even a mid-stage third-rank body cultivator couldn’t do that, could they?

“When did the City Lord gain such a physique?”

Some cultivators from Dream Immortal City were completely bewildered upon seeing this.

“How is this possible!?”

Even Myriad Lake True Person was utterly shocked and horrified. He quickly formed hand seals, his magic power surging like a river, activating his Sea Dragon Staff and bringing out another magic treasure.

However, at this moment.

“Southern Brightness Li Fire!”

Honglian, not far away, formed hand seals with both hands, and a surge of divine sense fluctuation comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch suddenly appeared, causing the faces of the Core Formation True Persons in the field to change drastically, their expressions filled with horror.

Myriad Lake True Person’s soul suddenly felt a burning, stinging sensation as if being consumed by raging flames, and he almost fainted.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Changsheng appeared in front of Myriad Lake True Person and threw a punch.

A simple, straightforward punch.

Shattered!

Shattered!

Shattered!

Myriad Lake True Person’s protective barrier shattered with a bang.

Immediately, the fist slammed into his dantian and lower abdomen.

“Pfft!”

Myriad Lake True Person’s body bent like a shrimp, spitting out blood, and he was about to fly outwards.

Lu Changsheng raised his hand and clenched, a large magic power hand gripped Myriad Lake True Person, and then he slapped his dantian again.

Sealing divine light surged from his palm, striking into Myriad Lake True Person’s Qi Sea and dantian, suppressing and imprisoning his True Core level magic power.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Myriad Lake True Person’s surging and astonishing Core Formation level magic power receded like a tide.

The sea dragon in the sky lost its magic power support, let out a mournful cry, and transformed back into the dragon-head wooden staff, falling into Honglian’s hand.

“This, this, this…”

“It… it’s over?”

All the cultivators in the field were stunned, blank-faced, and dumbfounded as they stared at the scene before them.

What happened?

What the hell is this?

The fight is already over?

Everyone’s mouths were wide open, their eyes staring blankly.

Some even stood motionless like idiots, thinking they were dreaming, and then pinched themselves hard.

Mainly because it was too childish, too dramatic.

A moment ago, Myriad Lake True Person was still awe-inspiring, standing atop a third-rank Flood Dragon. With his Lifebound Magic Treasure unleashed, his might was vast, creating tsunamis that reached the sky, making people dare not look directly and leaving them breathless.

But the next moment, the third-rank Flood Dragon was kicked flying, and he himself was hit by a punch that shattered his protective barrier, causing him to spit blood and lose all fighting ability.

“Uh, uh, uh—”

Myriad Lake True Person woke up from Honglian’s divine sense secret technique, his face pale, his eyes vacant, full of confusion, unable to speak.

“Alright, the outcome of today’s challenge has been decided. Thank you, fellow Daoists, for coming to witness. You are welcome to move into the Immortal City for a cup of hot tea.”

Lu Changsheng, carrying Myriad Lake True Person like a dead dog, said with a smile towards the other Core Formation cultivators in the field, his demeanor refined.

After speaking, he saw the blue Flood Dragon flying out of the Great Dream Marsh again. He immediately used the Five Elements Primordial Harmony Scripture to cast the Great Yin-Yang Qi Seizing Hand!

Instantly, a five-colored divine light like a mountain appeared, directly suppressing the third-rank Flood Dragon.

“Boom!”

This third-rank Flood Dragon was immediately suppressed and unable to move.

“Still not behaving.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Flood Dragon before him and said coldly.

Although the Great Yin-Yang Qi Seizing Hand’s power was greatly reduced when operated through the Five Elements Primordial Harmony Scripture.

But with his current magic power, suppressing an early third-rank monster beast was still effortless.

The main reason was that he had used the Great Yin-Yang Qi Seizing Hand in front of Tiger Roar True Person years ago, so it was better not to use similar methods to capture it, lest he arouse suspicion.

“Ow!”

The third-rank Flood Dragon was suppressed and unable to move. Seeing Myriad Lake True Person in Lu Changsheng’s hand and feeling the killing intent revealed in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, it immediately let out a mournful cry and gave up struggling.

The five-colored divine light bound the Flood Dragon and then returned to Lu Changsheng’s side.

“This…”

Suppressing Myriad Lake True Person and his spirit beast with just a raise of his hand and a step was simply terrifying.

Countless cultivators in the field felt their throats dry and their hearts tremble with fear.

At this moment, a friend of Myriad Lake True Person, gathering his courage, stepped forward with cupped hands.

Myriad Lake True Person challenging the Dreamless Mark couple was originally discussed among their group, so naturally, they wouldn’t let Myriad Lake True Person be taken away.

However, from the brief exchange just now, they could tell that the two before them were not the real Dreamless Mark and Cloud Dream True Persons. Unsure of their temperament, they were careful not to offend them.

After all, the strength displayed by Lu Changsheng and Honglian was unfathomable; even if their few people combined forces, they would not be a match.

“Coming to challenge this City Lord and now losing, naturally, you must pay some price. Otherwise, wouldn’t anyone be able to come and challenge this City Lord?”

He actually had no intention of killing Myriad Lake True Person.

After all, if he killed someone who issued a challenge, it would make him seem too overbearing.

His current identity was that of an outsider. Casually killing a Core Formation cultivator from Jiang Country would likely incur the hostility of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Therefore, it was better to be amiable and follow some rules to gain wealth.

Furthermore, Myriad Lake True Person had many friends.

If these people saw Myriad Lake True Person killed, they would definitely become hostile towards the Immortal City and become a potential danger.

So he planned to extort a sum from this person as a form of punishment.

“That is right, that is right.”

Hearing this, the Core Formation cultivator knew he was in the wrong and agreed.

Immediately after, under the gaze of the other Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lu Changsheng tossed Myriad Lake True Person and the third-rank Flood Dragon to the law enforcement cultivators.

Then, he entered the Immortal City with the Core Formation cultivators and pseudo-Core cultivators present, went to the Cloud Dream Restaurant, and set up a banquet.

“From the looks of it, the rumors about the Immortal City changing hands were false.”

“The divine ability just now… it didn’t seem like the City Lord’s?”

“In the entire cultivation world of Jiang Country, there are only a handful of people with such strength. It’s impossible for two Core Formation Grand Cultivators to appear out of nowhere, right?”

“Maybe the City Lord’s divine abilities have improved again!”

“That’s right, the City Lord hasn’t taken action for so many years. It’s normal for him to have broken through to the late Core Formation stage by now.”

The remaining onlookers discussed in low voices, guessing the identities of the two.

Some Core Formation cultivators could still distinguish whether they were the real Dreamless Mark couple through their magic power and divine abilities.

But most Foundation Establishment cultivators had never seen the Dreamless Mark couple take action and couldn’t distinguish them at all.

“It’s… it’s over just like that?”

Lu Wangshu saw that the battle was over so quickly, curled her red lips, and felt it was rather dull.

She and her younger brother Lu Lingxiao had rushed over to join the fun, waiting for so long, thinking they would gain some insight by watching Core Formation cultivators fight, but it ended in a single exchange.

However, from the might displayed just now, she also gained a rough understanding of the combat power of Core Formation cultivators.

“I wonder how Dad’s strength compares to this City Lord of Great Dream?”

“But the Golden Peng’s aura seems much stronger than Myriad Lake True Person’s third-rank Flood Dragon.”

Lu Wangshu mused inwardly.

She then slapped Lu Lingxiao, who was staring blankly beside her, and said, “Xiao Lingzi, let’s go.”

Lu Lingxiao frowned slightly.

For some reason, he felt a somewhat familiar aura from Cloud Dream True Person’s divine ability just now.

Cloud Dream Restaurant.

Even though the cultivators present had basically confirmed that Lu Changsheng and Honglian were not the real Dreamless Mark and Cloud Dream True Persons, they didn’t expose them, addressing them as City Lord and Fellow Daoist, and the conversation proceeded pleasantly.

A day later, the cultivators gradually dispersed and left.

At this moment, Gujian True Person sent a voice transmission to Lu Changsheng, “Fellow Daoist Wuchen, may I have a word with you alone?”

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.

He had been waiting for the Heavenly Sword Sect to visit him proactively.

Venerable Gu Jian’s presence in Great Dream Immortal City naturally represented the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Now that he had spoken up, wanting a private meeting, his purpose was self-evident.

Immediately, he called Hong Lian and went with True Monarch Gu Jian to a side hall, set up a barrier, and spoke, “May I ask, Fellow Daoist Gu Jian, what matter brings you here?”

“I won’t beat around the bush. My trip to Great Dream Immortal City is for the two of you, and I have three questions I’d like to ask you.”

Venerable Gu Jian looked at the two and said directly.

“Please ask, Fellow Daoist.”

Lu Changsheng asked.

Both Meng Wuchen and Chu Qingyi had said that when dealing with the Heavenly Sword Sect, all they needed to do was explain the situation and show goodwill.

Now that the other party had come, he was naturally willing to give them some face.

“Are the two of you demonic cultivators?”

Although Venerable Gu Jian’s face was old, his eyes were still sharp and piercing as he looked directly at Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian and asked.

Although he was only at the Mid-Core Formation stage and no match for Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian.

But he represented the Heavenly Sword Sect and feared neither of them.

“No.”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and said to Hong Lian.

“How did the two of you obtain the Immortal City, and do you have any purpose?”

Venerable Gu Jian continued to inquire.

“My wife and I came to Great Dream Marsh to hunt demons, and it just so happened that Fellow Daoist Wuchen and Fellow Daoist Yun Meng were preparing to leave, so we made a trade for this Immortal City.”

“If you’re asking about our purpose, it’s simply that Great Dream Immortal City is suitable for our cultivation. We need it, and have no other particular purpose.”

Lu Changsheng said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Gu Jian sensed the movement of the True Word Bead in his sleeve and smiled.

His purpose for coming to Great Dream Immortal City had been achieved.

As long as he confirmed that Lu Changsheng and his wife were not demonic cultivators, nor secret agents from a neighboring country with ulterior motives, that was enough.

“Thank you for your answers, Fellow Daoists. If you have any questions, you can also ask this old man.”

The Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian before him were incredibly powerful and unfathomable. If possible, their Heavenly Sword Sect was unwilling to make enemies.

“Which force is the challenge from Venerable Wan Hu a test from?”

Lu Changsheng heard this and immediately inquired about the information.

“After Venerable Wan Hu broke through to Core Formation, he left Jiang Country and traveled through various countries. This challenge is likely with a few friends, wanting to take the opportunity to take control of the Immortal City.”

Venerable Gu Jian said thoughtfully.

“May I ask your sect’s opinion on the change of ownership of the Immortal City?”

Lu Changsheng nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask.

He was somewhat curious about the Heavenly Sword Sect’s view on Great Dream Immortal City and why they allowed rogue cultivators to challenge for it.

“Treasures of the world belong to those with virtue.”

“Great Dream Immortal City is located in Great Dream Marsh and also bears the mission of guarding Great Dream Marsh. Therefore, to possess the Immortal City, one must have sufficient strength.”

“As long as they are not demonic cultivators or secret agents from other countries, our sect does not mind who governs the Immortal City. In fact, we hope it is governed by rogue cultivators. Only in this way can we promote the development of our Jiang Country.”

Venerable Gu Jian said.

The status of the Four Great Immortal Sects was as solid as a rock, difficult to shake.

But the title of the number one rogue cultivator, Azure Luan Immortal City, and Great Dream Immortal City could give hope to cultivators at the bottom, serving as a goal to strive for.

“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Fortune rotates, and the emperor comes to my house!”

Lu Changsheng roughly understood why the Heavenly Sword Sect allowed the existence of two rogue cultivator Immortal Cities.

On one hand, they used rogue cultivators to guard the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and Great Dream Marsh.

On the other hand, they used the Immortal Cities to give hope to the lower stratum of the cultivation world.

Think about why Azure Luan Immortal City became a holy land for rogue cultivators.

Isn’t it because countless rogue cultivators held a glimmer of hope and fantasy, taking True Monarch Azure Luan as their goal to strive for?

“Hehe, I understand. My wife and I are just borrowing this treasure land for cultivation. Your esteemed sect can rest assured.”

Lu Changsheng said with a chuckle.

“Since the two of you traded for the Immortal City from Fellow Daoist Wuchen and Fellow Daoist Yun Meng, you must also know the rules. There’s no need for this old man to say more.”

Venerable Gu Jian nodded and said.

Although Great Dream Immortal City was remote, it also had many rare resources.

When selling them externally, priority should be given to trading with the Four Great Immortal Sects.

Furthermore, if demonic cultivators or rogue cultivators caused trouble in Great Dream Marsh, Great Dream Immortal City must handle it. If the matter escalated, the Heavenly Sword Sect would hold them accountable.

Then there was the beast tide.

Although Great Dream Marsh was much more stable than the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, beast tides would still occur.

At this time, as the master of the Immortal City, they must take the lead, organize cultivators, and suppress the beast tide.

If the beast tide was too large, they could request aid from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“We are aware of this.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

Then the three chatted briefly for a while, and Venerable Gu Jian took his leave.

Perhaps knowing that the two were not cultivators from Jiang Country and would use fake names if asked, he did not ask for their names throughout the entire meeting.

“This Heavenly Sword Sect is quite magnanimous.”

Hong Lian said after Venerable Gu Jian left.

Many sects and forces would rather keep all resources to themselves, unwilling to share even half a bit.

But the Heavenly Sword Sect was willing to give up some profits to rogue cultivators.

“Although the Heavenly Sword Sect has a True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage presiding over it, it is not enough to control such a large territory. It’s better to share some profits to strengthen the country’s power.”

Lu Changsheng felt that the Heavenly Sword Sect’s approach was the right path.

By ceding benefits to the lower class, thereby strengthening the country’s power, and then expanding outwards to plunder resources.

If they relied on squeezing rogue cultivators and the lower class, with the entire country supporting one sect, the scope would be much smaller.

As the two spoke, they arrived at the Immortal City’s dungeon to check on Venerable Wan Hu.

“City Lord!”

“Greetings, City Lord!”

The cultivators guarding the dungeon saw Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian and immediately cupped their hands in greeting.

Regardless of whether they were Meng Wuchen and Venerable Yun Meng, their demonstrated strength today was beyond doubt.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Then he came to the cell where Venerable Wan Hu was imprisoned, looked at Venerable Wan Hu whose magic power was suppressed, and spoke.

“Venerable Wan Hu, you came to challenge my wife and me, and now you have lost. What price are you willing to pay for your life?”

Lu Changsheng wore a large feather cloak, his face calm and imposing, and spoke with his hands behind his back.

“How can City Lord Wuchen be willing to spare me?”

Venerable Wan Hu knew that the two before him were not the Meng Wuchen couple from years ago, and he couldn’t gauge their temperament, so he said in a low voice.

“Your spirit beast is not bad. This City Lord happens to be short of a mount for travel.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment before speaking.

Currently, the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng was not suitable for use in public. He, a dignified Immortal City Lord, didn’t even have a mount for travel.

Although Venerable Wan Hu’s Flood Dragon was just average, in his opinion, it was still acceptable.

If he didn’t use it in the future, he could also refine it into a Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldier.

“That’s impossible!”

Upon hearing this, Venerable Wan Hu’s face suddenly changed.

This third-order Flood Dragon might be average in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

But he had spent countless hours and effort cultivating it to the third order.

Now that he had finally cultivated it to the third order, how could he be willing to give it away?

Once given away, his combat power would also drop by a level!

“Since that’s the case, you can stay here for now. We’ll talk when you’ve thought it through.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng said indifferently.

If it weren’t for the purpose of subduing the Flood Dragon, he wouldn’t bother talking to the other party.

He would just clean out the storage bag and ring, and then throw him out of the Immortal City.

A few days later.

Venerable Wan Hu knew that he was now a prisoner and had no room to bargain. He finally chose to yield and hand over his third-order Flood Dragon.

However, even if the owner of such a third-order demon king was willing to give up the soul contract, Lu Changsheng would still need time to tame it, unlike the spirit beasts Lu Changsheng obtained from the system, which were so obedient.

After obtaining the third-order Flood Dragon, Lu Changsheng released Venerable Wan Hu.

However, it was naturally impossible to return the storage bag, storage ring, and life-bound magic treasure to him.

But Lu Changsheng didn’t go too far and said he could redeem them with money.

The impoverished Venerable Wan Hu naturally had no money now.

But as Venerable Gu Jian said, Venerable Wan Hu had come with a few friends.

In this situation, wasn’t it normal for each person to contribute some spirit stones to help redeem the life-bound magic treasure?

Soon after, Venerable Wan Hu gathered spirit stones and redeemed his life-bound magic treasure ‘Sea Dragon Staff’ and two commonly used magic treasures.

Having already obtained the other party’s Flood Dragon and all their property, Lu Changsheng did not extort them in this regard and traded at a normal price.

After the news of Venerable Wan Hu’s release spread, Venerable Gu Jian at the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s outpost in Great Dream Immortal City, nodded.

Although Venerable Wan Hu was a rogue cultivator and not a Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator, he was still a member of Jiang Country!

In future pioneering wars and cultivation world wars, these rogue cultivators were also the backbone force.

Therefore, their Heavenly Sword Sect was unwilling to see Venerable Wan Hu killed.

If Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian acted domineeringly and killed him directly, then their Heavenly Sword Sect would re-evaluate whether the two were suitable to govern the Immortal City.

After receiving the news, he left Great Dream Immortal City and returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect to report on the situation of the two.

At the same time, news about Great Dream Immortal City and the City Lord couple suppressing Venerable Wan Hu spread rapidly throughout the cultivation world of Jiang Country as if it had grown wings.

Countless people were shocked and dumbfounded upon hearing this.

After all, the news of the Immortal City changing hands had caused a sensation not long ago.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the famous Venerable Wan Hu was defeated in one move!

Many forces that were originally eager to move, thinking of waiting for rogue cultivators like Venerable Wan Hu to probe the truth and then seize the benefits of the Immortal City, now dispelled these thoughts.

Because according to the Core Formation cultivators who were present at the time, and Venerable Wan Hu himself, ‘Venerable Yun Meng’’s soul was far beyond that of a Core Formation cultivator, enough to rival a True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage!

Regardless of whether the news was true or false, this news was terrifying and deterred countless cultivators.

And ‘Venerable Wuchen’’s’ combat power, which suppressed Venerable Wan Hu with one punch and kicked away the third-order Flood Dragon with one foot, was also feared by many, as they could not see his depth.

After all, this ‘Venerable Wuchen’ did not even use any magic treasures, only using his physical body and magic power throughout the entire process!

“Even if the Immortal City changes hands, the strength of these two new City Lords will not be much worse than the previous Meng Wuchen couple.”

“Now is a time of trouble. If they didn’t have strength, how could they dare to preside over the Immortal City?”

“I wonder what relationship these two have with the Meng Wuchen couple, and when did our Jiang Country have such cultivators!”

“According to the situation that day, that ‘Venerable Wuchen’ cultivates both body and magic, and his body refinement technique is a Buddhist technique. He should not be a cultivator from our Jiang Country!”

This battle did not have much impact on the lower-level cultivators, who mostly listened for entertainment, but it mainly spread among the upper echelons.

Many people speculated about the situation of Great Dream Immortal City and became more wary of these two mysterious City Lords.

Azure Cloud Sect.

Chu Qingyi had not thought much when she heard that the new City Lords of Great Dream Immortal City were a couple.

Now, upon hearing about ‘Venerable Yun Meng’’s strength, she couldn’t help but be surprised and puzzled.

Where did Lu Changsheng find such a ‘wife’?

Could it be another confidante?

For some reason, a hint of inexplicable sourness surged in Chu Qingyi’s heart.

Jade Lake Mountain.

Lu Miaoyun was shocked when she heard the news from Great Dream Immortal City, and then an inexpressible feeling surged in her heart.

She had been married to Lu Changsheng for seventy years.

For seventy years, she had watched Lu Changsheng grow little by little.

From being the son-in-law and then son-in-law of Green Bamboo Mountain, to a second-order Talisman Master, a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator, and establishing the Lu Family of Jade Lake Mountain.

Unknowingly, her husband, the farmer boy who once married into Green Bamboo Mountain, had become the master of an Immortal City, standing in the most prominent place in Jiang Country.

“Husband…”

Lu Miaoyun, dressed in a green skirt, stood on Jade Cloud Peak, looking in the direction of Great Dream Marsh, with surging thoughts of longing in her heart.

In her early years, she was sensitive and lacked confidence, easily overthinking things in front of Lu Changsheng.

After so many years, as the mistress of Jade Lake Mountain and the Lu family, she was no longer the young girl who easily overthought things.

Nine Heavens Immortal City.

“Wang Lin, Li Muwan…”

A woman wearing a five-colored mask listened to the news and murmured softly, thinking of the instructions her parents had given her.
