Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 939: Luofuzi
Chapter 936 Luofu Zi
“Not good, he isn’t heavily injured.”
Qingcang Zhenjun and the other four saw the overwhelming Nine Leaf Sword Qi and realized that the Yangming Zhenjun before them was as astonishingly powerful as the rumors said.
However, he was not heavily injured and in poor condition, as the rumors speculated.
“With the five of us working together, he can’t do anything to us!”
Yinlei Zhenjun immediately shouted, his magical power surging, as thick purple-black lightning bolts coiled out, crackling and weaving into a large net, blocking the waterfall-like Sword Qi that was rushing towards them.
He knew that only by joining forces could the five of them survive.
If they separated, it would be extremely dangerous, and two or three of them would surely die.
The other four naturally understood and each unleashed their Divine Abilities and techniques, pushing their magical power to the extreme.
In an instant, violent winds rose, dark clouds gathered, and several storms formed, as if to destroy the world.
“Heh.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the five people before him, his expression utterly calm.
Before making his move, he had already made a rough assessment of the five’s combat power through his Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Soul.
Although they were not newly ascended Nascent Soul, they were all very ordinary.
They were probably on the same level as Jiaolong Shengzi, Yun Mei True Lord, or Thousand Blades True Lord.
He had not activated the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror in the City Lord’s Mansion to catch them off guard, precisely because he was worried that the Sun Profound Light’s power would be too great, instantly obliterating them along with their Magic Treasures, Storage Rings, and Storage Pouches.
“Devouring God Eighteen Resonances! Infinite Divine Sound!”
Compared to the Liang Yue War, Lu Changsheng’s biggest improvement was breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage in his Divine Soul through the Devouring God Art.
Even though he hadn’t yet spent time cultivating the Divine Sense secret arts of his Devouring God Art and Six Desires Heart Demon Art.
But relying on his Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Soul, facing these Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators was a complete碾压!
“Boom!”
Yinlei Zhenjun, who had made the first move and had once mocked Lu Changsheng in the Han Sha Illusion Domain, trembled all over.
He felt a majestic, vast, and irresistible divine sound reverberating, impacting, and shaking his Sea of Consciousness and Divine Soul.
Immediately after, the overwhelming Nine Leaf Sword Qi condensed into a sword light that pierced through the heavens and earth, breaking through layers of Void Realm and striking before Yinlei Zhenjun.
Yinlei Zhenjun’s Nascent Soul Domain and body-protecting magic shield shattered like tofu before this sword light, crumbling away.
The four-Rank magic robe on his body burst forth with countless spiritual lights, blocking the destructive sword light.
His Natal Spirit Treasure, the Town Thunder Hammer, protected its master at this moment, transforming into a purple-black thunder dragon, roaring with its head held high, forming countless thunder patterns and dense, fragmented lightning, clashing with the sword light.
However, even with Qingcang Zhenjun and the others helping to share the pressure, within a few breaths, the Town Thunder Hammer, resembling a purple thunder dragon, gradually whined and trembled, making “ka ka” sounds.
“Fellow Daoist Yinlei!”
Behind Qingcang Zhenjun, a towering, ancient tree stood, its gnarled branches condensing tens of thousands of shimmering leaves, as he called out to Yinlei Zhenjun.
He saw that Yinlei Zhenjun was being interfered with by Yangming Zhenjun’s Divine Sense secret art.
But this Yangming Zhenjun, even if he was a Nascent Soul giant, shouldn’t be able to cause such interference to Yinlei Zhenjun’s Divine Soul, right?
Yinlei Zhenjun vaguely heard Qingcang Zhenjun’s shouts.
But under the waves of vast divine sound formed by the Devouring God Eighteen Resonances, he couldn’t respond at all.
His entire being was like a small boat in a storm, his head splitting with pain, his Divine Soul injured.
“Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Soul! This person is a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator!”
Yinlei Zhenjun roared hysterically in his heart.
He realized that Yangming Zhenjun’s strength far exceeded their imagination.
He understood why all Nascent Soul cultivators in the Liang Yue War were captured and killed when they encountered him.
In the face of such a disparity in Divine Soul, unless one possessed top-tier Divine Soul Secret Treasures, one would become fish on the chopping block after a single encounter.
“True Lord, spare me! As long as you let me go, I am willing to surrender to you…”
Yinlei Zhenjun shouted with his remaining Divine Soul consciousness, begging Lu Changsheng for mercy.
However, Lu Changsheng completely ignored Yinlei Zhenjun’s plea for mercy.
He merely calmly activated the Nine Tribulation Sword and circulated the Physical Body Divine Ability, Chaos Manifestation.
“Boom boom boom—”
A void Chaos appeared around Lu Changsheng, as if the heavens and earth were first opening, forming a terrifying offensive.
Even if Lu Changsheng didn’t fully unleash his Fourth Rank Middle Stage Body Refining.
But merely by suppressing them with the phenomenon, he caused the magical power of the four Qingcang Zhenjun to become chaotic.
“Pfft!”
Bearing Lu Changsheng’s main offensive and being affected by his Divine Soul secret art, Yinlei Zhenjun could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Town Thunder Hammer, which was burning its Spirit Treasure Origin to protect its master, let out a crack, its spiritual light dimming.
The Yin Yang Great Capturing Hand, covering the sky, instantly descended like a towering mountain, pressing down heavily and grasping towards Yinlei Zhenjun.
Seeing this, Qingcang Zhenjun immediately gritted his teeth and circulated his Divine Ability, the ancient tree behind him rapidly growing taller, as if it wanted to split the heavens and earth and support the Yin Yang One Qi Great Capturing Hand.
“Can you hold on?” Lu Changsheng’s expression was calm, and he took a light step forward, shifting the full pressure of Chaos Manifestation onto Qingcang Zhenjun.
“Pfft!” Qingcang Zhenjun immediately let out a muffled groan, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, as if bearing immense pressure.
“Luofu Mountain Master, please make a move!”
Qingcang Zhenjun gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
Their purpose in coming here was twofold: on one hand, they were worried that Yangming Zhenjun and Qingluan Zhenjun would come to settle scores with them.
On the other hand, they were lured and coerced by Luofu Zi.
The latter told them that there were Blood Sea Sect Cultivators behind the Liang Yue War.
Therefore, Yangming Zhenjun, who had quelled the Liang Yue War, was likely severely injured.
As long as they came to test him and lure out Yangming Zhenjun, it would not only help them resolve this trouble but also bestow them with Breakthrough Medicinal Pills to break through to the Nascent Soul middle stage.
But now, the strength displayed by this Yangming Zhenjun was something the five of them simply couldn’t contend with, and their lives were in danger.
In such a situation, he knew that begging for mercy was useless; only Luofu Zi could help.
“Luofu Mountain Master?”
Lu Changsheng had heard this name before.
He knew that this person was one of the Nascent Soul giants of the Southern Wilderness Northern Region.
But he had no grievances or grudges with the other party, so why would he come to Great Dream Immortal City to cause trouble for him?
He scanned his surroundings with his Divine Sense but didn’t see any other Cultivators, let alone this Luofu Mountain Master.
The Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror in his embrace also didn’t detect any other Cultivators.
Inside an inn in Great Dream Immortal City.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator, aged forty to fifty, with an ordinary appearance, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the battle scene above the Immortal City.
Under normal circumstances, Foundation Establishment Cultivators would be unable to see such a Nascent Soul battle, especially with the grand Formation isolating it.
However, this Cultivator was completely unaffected.
“What a Yangming Zhenjun! Not only does he Cultivate both Law and Body, possess multiple supreme treasures, but he also has such Divine Soul techniques!”
This Foundation Establishment Cultivator was precisely the top-tier giant of the Southern Wilderness Northern Region, the Luofu Mountain Master whom Qingcang Zhenjun had called out to.
After hearing about Yangming Zhenjun, he immediately sent people to gather detailed information, hoping to scheme for the other party’s Opportunity and inquire about Qingluan Zhenjun’s whereabouts.
However, he held Yangming Zhenjun, this Nascent Soul giant who was suspected to be the Reincarnation of a Great Cultivator and had a deep relationship with Qingluan Zhenjun, in extremely high regard.
Before coming, he even went to Great Enlightenment Temple to ask his good friend, Great Enlightenment Zen Master, to perform a divination.
At the Nascent Soul middle stage, Great Enlightenment Zen Master could not deduce much information.
He merely indicated that his actions would not go smoothly.
Luofu Zi had great trust in his good friend’s methods.
So he spent time finding Qingcang Zhenjun, Yinlei Zhenjun, and others.
He coerced them into making a move, while he observed from the shadows, further understanding Yangming Zhenjun’s situation.
Through his observations just now, he had gleaned a lot of information.
Firstly, the magic sword in the other party’s hand was extraordinary; it was a top-tier supreme treasure that could allow Core Formation cultivators to contend with Nascent Soul.
Yangming Zhenjun’s current combat power and destructive force were greatly related to this magic sword.
Secondly, the other party cultivated both Law and Body, making him impeccable.
Moreover, his Physical Body seemed to surpass his magical power cultivation, possibly possessing some kind of top-tier Physical Body Physique.
Thirdly, the other party’s Divine Soul far surpassed ordinary people.
Either he possessed a Divine Soul Secret Treasure, or his Divine Soul had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
Fourthly, the other party’s Spirit Pet had already exceeded the limit of Heaven Rank Bloodline.
It wasn’t just having a True Spirit Bloodline; it was highly likely to have reached the level of a low-tier True Spirit!
Fifthly, the other party’s Dao Companion, though not a Nascent Soul cultivator, was definitely a Nascent Soul Possession or a Nascent Soul Reincarnation.
Considering all of the above, and the other party’s suspected identity as the Reincarnation of a legendary Great Cultivator, Luofu Zi was not confident in killing or capturing him.
“We can only plan for the long term.”
Luofu Zi’s expression was calm as he pondered in his heart.
At the Nascent Soul Rank, if one wasn’t confident in completely eradicating the opponent, one wouldn’t push to a life-and-death situation, to avoid endless future troubles.
When he faced Qingluan Zhenjun back then, he was confident of a sure kill.
It was just that the other party’s methods exceeded his expectations, allowing her to escape.
However, in his opinion, Qingluan Zhenjun’s injuries at that time, even if she didn’t die, she was already half-crippled and posed no threat.
As long as she dared to appear again, he could easily kill her.
“Luofu Mountain Master, please make a move!”
Hearing Qingcang Zhenjun call for help, Luofu Zi frowned.
Although he had previously stated that if an unexpected, dangerous situation occurred, and Yangming Zhenjun was not as heavily injured as rumored, he would make a move, and they should rest assured.
But now, seeing Lu Changsheng’s strength and methods, he wasn’t confident in completely resolving the opponent, and he was unwilling to escalate the enmity, preferring to wait for the right moment.
“Alright.”
Thinking about Qingluan Zhenjun’s matter, he had already indirectly formed a grudge with this Yangming Zhenjun.
Once Qingcang Zhenjun and the others fell into Yangming Zhenjun’s hands and it was revealed that they came at his invitation, the enmity would still escalate.
Since that was the case, it would be better to make a move and rescue Qingcang Zhenjun and the others.
He would also have a few more helpers when he acted later.
Moreover, if the events of today spread, and others learned that he had coerced Qingcang Zhenjun and a few others to come to Great Dream Immortal City to test, but did not offer assistance, it would affect his reputation and standing.
Luofu Zi’s expression was calm as he walked out of the inn.
“Luofu Mountain Master?” Bai Zhaozhao heard this name, and a hint of surprise appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, knowing this top-tier giant of the Southern Wilderness Northern Region.
As the Tian Yan Sect Saintess with a Bai Ze Bloodline, she even knew that Luofu Zi was not a Northern Region Cultivator but came from the Central Region.
He had only offended someone and was forced to travel far from home to the Northern Region.
She hadn’t expected that these five Nascent Soul cultivators were actually related to Luofu Zi.
If that were the case, today’s battle situation was likely to escalate.
“However, this Yangming Zhenjun’s strength should be enough to cope.”
Although Bai Zhaozhao was not clear about Luofu Zi’s specific combat power.
But based on the combat power displayed by Lu Changsheng, she knew that even if the latter was not a match for Luofu Zi, he wouldn’t be too far off.
Moreover, according to her deductions, Great Dream Immortal City still had hidden means.
For example, she suspected that there was a Secret Realm within Great Dream Immortal City.
Qingcang Zhenjun’s face was distorted, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, as he resisted Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Manifestation.
Seeing that Luofu Zi did not respond or appear, his heart sank.
He realized that the other party was not confident in resolving Yangming Zhenjun and was likely unwilling to make a move.
If it weren’t for the critical situation, he would have even cursed aloud.
The other three beside him also felt their hearts heavy and their expressions grim when they saw that Luofu Zi had not appeared.
“Go!”
“Run quickly!”
Earlier, the few of them were still thinking of resisting together.
Now, they realized that they were completely no match for the Yangming Zhenjun and Golden Winged Roc before them.
To survive, they could only flee!
Qingcang Zhenjun didn’t hesitate at all; the ancient tree behind him suddenly dissipated, transforming into countless azure glows that coiled around his body, attempting to break through the Void Realm and escape from this place.
As he stopped, Yinlei Zhenjun was instantly grasped tightly by the Yin Yang One Qi Great Capturing Hand, his entire body’s magical power and Nascent Soul Spirit Body sealed.
In a short time, the five Nascent Soul lineup was scattered, and one person was captured.
The other three Nascent Soul True Lords, seeing Qingcang Zhenjun’s decisive action, dared not delay and quickly broke through the Void Realm to leave.
However, two of them were entangled by Red Lotus and Golden Winged Roc respectively, unable to escape immediately.
As for the third person, he saw a man in a loose, pure white robe, completely spotless, holding a green long sword, appear and quietly gaze at him.
“Xuanjian Zhenjun!”
His face darkened as he recognized this white-robed man as the former number one person in Jiang Country, the uncrowned king.
He hadn’t expected that this Xuanjian Zhenjun wasn’t in Liang Country but actually in Great Dream Immortal City!
“I fell for it.”
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Luofu Zi hadn’t appeared.
“Everyone, since you’ve come, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Aren’t you here to demand an explanation from this venerable one?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the four people, who were like stray dogs, scattering and fleeing, and said faintly.
As he spoke, his Divine Sense secret art, Devouring God Eighteen Resonances, was unleashed again, striking towards Qingcang Zhenjun.
Just like Yinlei Zhenjun earlier.
Facing Lu Changsheng’s Divine Soul secret art, Qingcang Zhenjun’s head split with pain, and his Sea of Consciousness and Divine Soul were like a small boat in a storm, unable to control themselves.
Lu Changsheng used teleportation to appear beside him and stomped down fiercely with one foot.
“Bang bang bang—”
Even without fully unleashing his Fourth Rank Middle Stage Physique, it directly shattered Qingcang Zhenjun’s body-protecting magic shield layer by layer.
The other three Nascent Soul cultivators were scared out of their wits and their hearts chilled when they saw this scene.
What kind of method was this?
First Yinlei Zhenjun, now Qingcang Zhenjun, both were immobilized after a single encounter.
However, just as Lu Changsheng was breaking through Qingcang Zhenjun’s shield to seal his entire body’s magical power and Nascent Soul Spirit Body, a surge of irresistible Void Realm power suddenly emerged beside him.
Immediately after, a majestic voice came from Great Dream Immortal City.
“Fellow Daoist Yang Ming, please stop.”
A tall, middle-aged man in a light yellow Daoist robe walked out of Great Dream Immortal City.
His black hair draped over his shoulders, he wore a light yellow headpiece, and his robes fluttered, with patterns of light golden mountains and rivers embroidered on the corners.
At this moment, the embroidered mountains and rivers on the robe corners seemed to have a life of their own, glowing with a light golden luster, flowing around his body, ignoring the Immortal City’s Formation Restrictions.
