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

Chapter 723: Chapter 270: Yun Wanshang: If I Had Brought Him Back to the Qingyun Sect at That Time_3

Lu Changsheng, however, had already amassed a record of slaying eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators, causing his reputation to soar within the Qingyun Region!

Especially Zhao Qingqing, who thought back to the past few years, her visits to Bi Lake Mountain to provide guidance on Spirit Plants, and her several encounters with Lu Changsheng.

He was always so gentle and refined, with a peaceful and indifferent demeanor that was as refreshing as a spring breeze, engendering fondness.

He bore no resemblance to a mighty mountain master with the formidable power to slay eight Foundation Building Great Cultivators!

“My brother-in-law is really… extraordinary,” Zhao Qingqing mused.

Xia Zhaoyang, upon hearing news of Lu Changsheng, was also filled with emotion.

...
Although he did not interact much with Lu Changsheng, because of his sister, he had paid a lot of attention and knew quite a lot about him.

He was unremarkable in his earlier years, but after his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, his rise has been meteoric and astonishing.

“It’s been a while since I visited Xingyue and Yunlou. It would be a good opportunity to share this news with them,” Xia Zhaoyang thought, intending to check on how his niece and his niece by marriage were doing.

After all, as his brother-in-law had sent them to the Qingyun Sect, it was only natural for him to take extra care and pay attention to them.

Not to mention clinging to Lu Changsheng’s “coattails”; even without that, he felt it necessary to do so, because of the kindness Lu Changsheng had shown him and his sister.

…

Qingyun Sect, Enforcement Hall.

“Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, dual cultivation techniques, slain five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators, including two at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage…”

Yun Wanshang looked at the message in the Jade Slip in her hand.

Within the Qingyun Sect’s jurisdiction, matters involving Robber Cultivators are handled by the Enforcement Hall.

When the incident involving the Robber Cultivators being sent to the bell by the four major families was reported to the Qingyun Sect, she was made aware of it.

However, as the Qingyun Sect was short-staffed and Xiao Xiyue was at Bi Lake Mountain, she only instructed her subordinates to perform a cursory investigation, not taking it too seriously.

She never expected the incident to escalate to such a degree.

Five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators, and among them, two who were at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

Even though she, as a Nascent Soul Immortal, did not see Foundation Establishment as significant, such combat prowess was undeniable and not to be underestimated anywhere.

Yet, these Robber Cultivators were subdued and killed by Lu Changsheng and his wife.

“Dual cultivation techniques, dual cultivation techniques…”

Yun Wanshang gazed at the message in the Jade Slip, feeling an inexplicable irritability surge within her.

She had gradually let go of her thoughts about Lu Changsheng.

But his actions and deeds kept entering her sight, as if to say that she had misjudged him.

The once thought to be a futureless Qi Refinement youth was actually a shallow water Flood Dragon.

Now, all his actions were like that of a Flood Dragon entering the sea, a tiger returning to its mountain.

“If…”

Yun Wanshang couldn’t help thinking, had she taken Lu Changsheng directly back to the Qingyun Sect at the beginning, whether he would still have achieved this much.

If he had achieved this much under her guidance, and they had become Dao companions with her Spirit-nurturing Energy, he might even have a chance for a Nascent Soul future.

But the more she thought about her Spirit-nurturing Energy, the more agitated Yun Wanshang became, feeling an intense sense of frustration.

With a ‘bang,’ her palm struck the jade table in front of her, shattering it into dust.

…

Qingyun Sect, a golden and splendid grand hall.

“Lu Changsheng… cough cough cough…”

An old crone with white hair and a wrinkled face looked at the information in her hands, her dim and cloudy eyes showing hatred, her hands as gnarled as pine bark trembling slightly.

But the more she read about the martial achievements of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, the deeper the sense of powerlessness that gripped Lady Meng.

Because of the beast calamity in the Wan Shou Mountain Range, she had come out of Xuanyin Cave ahead of time to assist the Spirit Taming Sect in suppressing the beast tide.

Having been tasked with redeeming herself through her contributions, she had been leading the front lines, and as a result, she had been severely injured during the beast tide.

Already advanced in years with merely over thirty years of life remaining,

this serious injury had caused her condition to drastically deteriorate, cutting her lifespan by nearly half.

She blamed all of this on Lu Changsheng.

Yet now, seeing his and Lu Miaoge’s record of killing five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators, including two at the late stage, she felt powerless.

Because she realized that in her current state, she might not even be a match for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.

Even if she fought with all her might and could potentially kill the couple, she would suffer a heavy price, possibly even immolation.

“Alas!”

A long, forlorn, and powerless sigh echoed in the grand hall.

Lady Meng’s tightly clenched hands loosened, trembling slightly.

Even though she was still capable of fighting, she could not risk everything for revenge.

She had a family reliant on her,

especially after Meng Yibai’s death; to ensure the continuance of her family, she had increased her contributions to its cultivation, eventually producing a promising junior in the past few years.

Thus, she had to stay alive as long as possible to stabilize the family.
