Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 684: The Nine Nether Mastiff is in danger!
“According to intelligence information, Bihu Mountain was originally a Rank 2 middle-grade spiritual vein, but after being occupied by the Lu family, it has grown to Rank 2 top-grade after years of nurturing.”
“Furthermore, Lu Changsheng, the Lu family’s ancestor, and his wife, Lu Miaoge, have both broken through to the Core Formation stage. A Rank 2 top-grade spiritual land is completely unable to supply their cultivation needs, so they spend most of their time in Da Meng Immortal City.”
This figure, wearing a dark mask and cloak, was Ying’er, sent by the Holy Maiden of the You Moon to investigate the situation of the Nine Nether Mastiff.
It was just that the journey between Liang and Jiang was long and arduous.
Especially since they needed to be cautious along the way, it took them more than a year to safely sneak into Jiang and arrive at Bihu Mountain.
Ying’er’s dark eyes, like stars in the night, stared at the Bihu Mountain formation in front of her. One pupil turned azure blue, and the other turned dark green, like a cat’s eye, trying to see through the illusion and penetrate the formation’s restrictions.
“Hmm!?”
After a moment, she discovered that she was having difficulty seeing through the Bihu Mountain formation in front of her. She even felt a sense of inexplicable danger from Bihu Mountain.
“What’s going on?”
Being sent on a mission by the Holy Maiden of the You Moon, Ying’er naturally had extraordinary abilities.
She cultivated the Beast God Mountain’s techniques and fused with a demonic beast, the Nether Cat.
Not only was her attack full of lethality and penetration, and she could transform into a Nether Shadow, but she also had the ability to see through illusions, understand the Netherworld, and sense danger.
Just now, when she was looking for the weaknesses and flaws in the Bihu Mountain formation, wanting to transform into a Nether Shadow and sneak into it, the Nether Cat in her body actually showed a warning, indicating that there was danger.
“The master of this Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng, has grown from a live-in son-in-law to a Core Formation cultivator in a hundred years. He also married the Nascent Soul seed of the Qingyun Sect, helped his wife Lu Miaoge break through to the Core Formation stage, and even cultivated a Rank 3 You Moon Wolf. He must have great opportunities.”
“Even if he is not usually in Bihu Mountain, he must have left behind a backup plan.”
She had naturally made ample preparations before coming to Bihu Mountain, collecting all the intelligence and information about Lu Changsheng and Bihu Mountain.
She knew that none of the cultivators who rose from small figures like Lu Changsheng were simple.
“And maybe Lu Changsheng is in Bihu Mountain.”
Ying’er looked at Bihu Mountain in front of her and pondered in her heart.
After a little thought, she looked in the direction of Baihu Mountain and murmured: “According to intelligence information, the Lu family’s town spirit beast, the Nine Nether Mastiff, spends most of its time guarding Baihu Mountain.”
“In that case, I will go to Baihu Mountain first to see how much Sky Wolf bloodline this spirit beast has awakened.”
Although according to intelligence information, the Nine Nether Mastiff’s combat power far exceeds the You Moon Wolf, and it is likely to have awakened the Sky Wolf bloodline.
But she still had to take a trip herself.
Even with the Spirit Control Ring in hand, even if this You Moon Wolf only awakened a thin Sky Wolf bloodline, she would still take it back to report.
After thinking for a moment, Ying’er turned into a Nether Shadow and sneaked towards Baihu Mountain.
Several hours later, Ying’er arrived at Baihu Mountain and looked at the formation in front of her.
The Rank 2 top-grade Baihu Mountain formation was full of flaws in front of Ying’er’s Nether Eyes, and she could see everything at a glance.
Even through the Baihu Mountain formation, she could faintly sense the fierce demonic aura in the back mountain.
“This You Moon Wolf has only broken through to Rank 3 recently, but its demonic aura is so strong. It seems that it is not simply awakening the Sky Wolf bloodline, but a bloodline mutation.”
As the Holy Maiden of the You Moon’s personal guard, Ying’er was very familiar with the aura of the You Moon Sky Wolf.
Through this fierce demonic aura, she judged that the bloodline aura of the two was different, and it was likely that a bloodline mutation had occurred.
After observing the Baihu Mountain formation in front of her for a long time, Ying’er’s delicate melon-shaped face under the dark mask gradually became sharp, and several lines appeared on her cheeks, like a cat’s face. A pair of furry black cat ears stood up on both sides of her head, and her fair and slender hands turned into sharp claws at some point, shimmering with a cold and sharp luster.
The graceful figure wrapped in a black cloak seemed to be a bit taller and more agile, but instinctively lowered, like a fully drawn bow.
If you look closely, you can see that there is also a long and powerful tail like a whip under the cloak.
“Swoosh!”
Ying’er looked at the Baihu Mountain formation in front of her, and her whole person rushed in like a Nether Shadow. The whole process was smooth and flowing, without causing the slightest impact on the formation.
Like a lithe and agile cat demon, she crouched down and sneaked towards the back mountain. The patrolling cultivators along the way seemed to be blind to her.
However, when she approached the back mountain where the Nine Nether Mastiff was located, the Nine Nether Mastiff, as a Heavenly Rank bloodline demon beast, instantly sensed something. Its scarlet and intimidating eyes opened and looked in the direction of Ying’er, who had transformed into a Nether Shadow.
“Roar!”
The Nine Nether Mastiff’s sturdy body, which had been coiled up, stood up and let out a low roar. The sound was like rolling thunder, spreading throughout Baihu Mountain.
“Hmm? That’s Nine Nether’s voice. What happened?”
Now, Baihu Mountain is guarded and managed by Lu Xianzhi’s son, Lu Xuanyu.
He is also responsible for taking care of Nine Nether Mastiff’s daily needs. Knowing that Nine Nether Mastiff would not make such a commotion without something happening, he immediately turned into a ray of light to check.
However, the next moment, a thunderous voice sounded in his mind.
“Someone has sneaked into Baihu Mountain!”
“Enemy attack!?”
Lu Xuanyu was shocked, completely unaware that a cultivator had sneaked in.
Moreover, Baihu Mountain has a Rank 2 top-grade formation. It is absolutely impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to sneak in silently!
“Core Formation True Person!?”
His expression was horrified, and he immediately fully activated the Baihu Mountain formation, crushed the emergency message talisman, and sent a message to Bihu Mountain.
“What keen intuition!”
Seeing the formation’s spiritual light above Baihu Mountain begin to surge rapidly, Ying’er knew that she had been discovered. Without hesitation, she immediately sacrificed the Rank 3 Spirit Control Ring that the Holy Maiden of the You Moon had bestowed upon her.
Although she had a record of assassinating Core Formation True Persons.
But assassination and capture are completely different concepts.
Moreover, assassinating cultivators and assassinating demon beasts are also completely different.
“Buzz!”
The light golden Spirit Control Ring instantly expanded to several zhang wide, with intricate and winding patterns flowing on it, blooming with deep and gorgeous light, flying towards the Nine Nether Mastiff, as if to bind it.
“Roar!!!!”
The Nine Nether Mastiff felt an instinctive danger from this Spirit Control Ring. Its ferocious and terrifying head roared to the sky, and circles of hurricane-like sound waves surged out from its fangs and huge mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a tail with a dragon-like head suddenly raised, like a roaring flood dragon, constantly extending, pouncing and biting towards the Spirit Control Ring.
“Boom!!!!”
The tail, like a dark flood dragon, collided with the Spirit Control Ring, forming a terrifying mana fluctuation, shaking the entire Baihu Mountain.
Seeing this, Ying’er, like a nimble cat demon, pounced and flew towards the Nine Nether Mastiff.
Under the wide cloak, the tail extending from the spine was like an iron whip, shimmering with faint dark purple lines, tearing through layers of void, forming a sonic boom, and甩向 towards the Nine Nether Mastiff.
“Roar!”
The Nine Nether Mastiff continued to roar, and its dark and dense fur stood on end, forming a terrifying demonic aura, blocking the iron whip-like tail.
But the next moment, Ying’er, who was flying towards it like a phantom, merged her sharp claws together, forming a black light blade.
Under normal circumstances, the Nine Nether Mastiff would not be afraid, but this Spirit Control Ring was very restraining to it.
At this time, it needed to contend with the Spirit Control Ring, and it was not Ying’er’s opponent at all. It could only roar, and a burst of sound waves erupted from its wolf mouth, breaking through the light blade.
But this black light blade still landed on its huge body, leaving a deep mark on the dark black scales under its fur.
“This You Moon Wolf’s strength!?
Shadow, seeing that her magic only caused Nine Nether Hounds to lose a few hairs, looked surprised and realized that the latter was not simple, not just a general bloodline resurgence. A dagger with a cold gleam suddenly appeared in her hand.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“Core Formation cultivator, this is a Core Formation cultivator!”
The fact that the Nine Nether Hound had broken through to the third rank was no longer a secret, and all the cultivators on White Tiger Mountain knew about it.
Seeing a cultivator appear on White Tiger Mountain and attack the Nine Nether Hound, everyone knew that this was a Core Formation cultivator, and they looked terrified.
After all, for most cultivators, Core Formation cultivators were still unattainable existences.
“Not good!”
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lu Xuanyu could see that the Nine Nether Hound was no match for Shadow, being suppressed by the opponent’s huge golden ring. He quickly controlled the White Tiger Mountain formation and bombarded the Spirit Control Ring.
The Spirit Control Ring was a natural counter to demon beasts, but its effect against supernatural treasures was average.
Hit by the phantom formed by the White Tiger Mountain’s great formation, it trembled violently, forming a sound of metal clashing, seeming somewhat unstable.

“A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to interfere!”
Shadow’s face under the mask was cold, glowing blue. Her dark green eyes looked at Lu Xuanyu from afar, and when she shot out two beams of light, his whole body was struck by lightning, spitting blood and flying out.
“Roar!!”
Taking this opportunity, the Nine Nether Hound, freed from the Spirit Control Ring, roared, shaking the heavens and the earth. A violent wind swept through, and its entire body’s fur stood on end like steel needles, like a ferocious beast about to devour someone, pouncing towards Shadow.
Shadow could see that the Nine Nether Hound was not simple. She turned into a shadow, not confronting it head-on, throwing out a cloud of poisonous powder, then forming hand seals and continuing to activate the Beast Control Ring, the dagger in her hand piercing through the air.
Facing the Spirit Control Ring that restrained it, the Nine Nether Hound’s body seemed to bear an ancient divine mountain, making it difficult to move. The dagger slashed out a series of sparks, and then the dark scales were broken, with blood flowing out.
“Buzz!”
The Spirit Control Ring trembled wildly at this moment, its light shining brightly, as if using the Nine Nether Hound’s blood as a medium to further suppress it.
“Not good!”
Lu Xuanyu, dizzy and bleeding from all seven orifices, saw this scene and looked anxious.
“Everyone strengthen the formation! Use puppets to interfere with the golden giant ring!”
He took a pill to stabilize his physical condition and loudly ordered, knowing that the golden giant ring above was the biggest interference to the Nine Nether Hound.
Then, he activated a second-tier top-grade talisman at the first moment to protect himself, lest he be instantly killed by Shadow.
After all, with just a glance just now, he deeply realized the horror of a Core Formation cultivator.
The other party could kill him with a casual blow.
“Annoying ants!”
As an assassin, under normal circumstances, if someone is alerted and a strike fails, one should flee far away.
But the mission this time was to capture the Nine Nether Hound alive.
If she missed the opportunity and waited for the Azure Lake Mountain Ancestor Lu Changsheng to return, she would have even less of a chance.
Shadow immediately took out a third-tier talisman from her bosom, injected mana, and turned it into a sharp blade light that was ten feet long, slashing towards the Nine Nether Hound.
The Nine Nether Hound, stubbornly resisting the Spirit Control Ring, could only passively defend against the sudden third-tier talisman. Its dark scales flickered, forming a dark curtain of light, blocking the blade light.
However, facing the dagger that Shadow continued to attack with, the light curtain on its body was broken again, blood splattering, and it roared in pain.
But at this time, under the isolation of the White Tiger Mountain formation, dozens of second-tier puppets attacked the Spirit Control Ring, trying to share the pressure for the Nine Nether Hound and delay time.
Seeing the puppets rushing over, Shadow’s sharp claws suddenly stretched out, instantly forming several blades, tearing more than a dozen puppets apart.
The Lu family cultivators of White Tiger Mountain were both distressed and terrified.
It took them a lot of time and effort to build a second-tier puppet, but at this moment, more than a dozen were torn apart in an instant, which was simply terrifying!
“Talisman tactics!”
However, as the puppet base camp of the Tianfu Lu family, White Tiger Mountain was powerful, not only with a puppet army, but also with talisman tactics.
One cultivator after another controlled the puppets, carrying talismans and attacking Shadow, activating the talismans.
“Annoying!”
Shadow really wanted to take action to solve these annoying Lu family cultivators.
But as long as she was distracted, the Nine Nether Hound could break free from the Spirit Control Ring and attack her.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful, thinking that she was still underestimating the enemy. She didn’t expect that this spirit beast of the Lu family was so extraordinary that it could directly discover her.
She formed hand seals and patted her chest fiercely, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence. A dark light flowed all over her body, and her aura rose steadily. One could see dark hair growing on her cheeks and palms.
Her hands were almost transformed into cat claws, and her nails became hooked, half a foot long, with a cold light and dark purple patterns flowing.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!”
Shadow, who used secret techniques and had a surging aura, formed several shadow clones, all attacking the Nine Nether Hound.
The Spirit Control Ring shone brightly, constantly suppressing the Nine Nether Hound, making it difficult for the blood from its wounds to heal, gurgling out, increasing the Spirit Control Ring’s suppression of it.
“Roar!!”
The Nine Nether Hound roared, its body bleeding, stubbornly resisting. The fallen black fur and scales turned into pine needles and flying knives, attacking Shadow.
Lu Xuanyu could see that the Nine Nether Hound was in extremely dangerous situation. He sacrificed the trump card talisman treasure in his hand, bombarding the Beast Control Ring, and shouted at it, “Nine Nether, you run away quickly! Return to Azure Lake Mountain!”
He had already seen that Shadow’s methods were clearly aimed at the Nine Nether Hound.
In any case, the Nine Nether Hound must not be lost!
As long as it escaped back to Azure Lake Mountain, with the Azure Lake Mountain formation and the various methods prepared by his grandfather, it would definitely be able to turn danger into safety!
“Roar!!”
The Nine Nether Hound also realized that if it continued to stalemate like this, its consumption would not match the Spirit Control Ring.
Its entire body’s dark fur stood on end, and a fierce demonic aura soared into the sky, glowing with a bloody, cold light. It barely broke free from the Spirit Control Ring, wanting to escape towards Azure Lake Mountain.
“Where are you going!”
Shadow’s dark green and blue pupils were cold. The enchanting body wrapped in a black cloak and dark soft armor suddenly turned rapidly, tearing all the attacking puppets to pieces, and continued to kill the Nine Nether Hound.
She saw that the Nine Nether Hound was escaping towards Azure Lake Mountain, and realized that White Tiger Mountain had sent a message to Azure Lake Mountain. There might be reinforcements coming, and she wanted to fight quickly and make a quick decision.
“Roar!”
Facing the Spirit Control Ring that continued to attack, the Nine Nether Hound desperately broke through, its entire body flying horizontally with blood.
As a personal guard of the Youyue Saintess and an assassin-type cultivator, Shadow was extremely fast, closely following, using the Spirit Control Ring to suppress the Nine Nether Hound, and using her trump card.
However, as a heavenly-ranked bloodline demon beast, and under the resource cultivation of Lu Changsheng, the Nine Nether Hound condensed an immortal golden core, and its combat power was extremely powerful. It quickly stabilized its injuries, resisted the Spirit Control Ring, and continued to escape towards Azure Lake Mountain.
At the same time.
Azure Lake Mountain, Sumeru Cave Heaven.
Lu Miaoyun, with the help of the [Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror], saw the situation of White Tiger Mountain and felt anxious.
Although Lu Pingan had taken the Thousand-Faced Fox puppet to support.
Seeing Xiao Hei being so seriously injured, she couldn’t help but worry.
Especially Shadow’s methods, which were obviously prepared and aimed at the Nine Nether Hound.
“I hope Pingan can arrive in time.”
Seeing that the Nine Nether Hound had rushed out of White Tiger Mountain and should be rushing towards Azure Lake Mountain, Lu Miaoyun prayed in her heart.
After thinking for a moment, she sent a message to her husband Lu Changsheng.
After all, Xiao Hei was her husband’s first spirit pet, cultivated for so many years, and finally broke through to the third rank. If there was an accident, she simply didn’t know what to do.
