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

Chapter 1077: Chapter 381: Real Person, You Must Stand Up for Me! Chapter 1077: Chapter 381: Real Person, You Must Stand Up for Me! Dragon Head Mountain.

Beast Taming Xu Family.

In the sumptuous palace paved with gold and jade, the atmosphere was tense and heavy.

Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family sat in the main seat, his face as gloomy as water, his body emanating a terrifying presence as deep and as formidable as an abyss, like a volcano about to erupt at any moment.

Several high-ranking members of the Xu Family were prostrate on the ground, shivering, not daring to speak, overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring presence of their own elder ancestor.

However, they could understand the wrath of their elder ancestor.

During his closed-door cultivation, two False Core Patriarchs in the family had been successively killed.

Moreover, the deaths were mysterious, with not even a clue as to the killer or the forces behind the act.

“What has happened?”

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family suppressed the anger in his heart, his voice deep and forceful, echoing through the palace like rolling thunder.

The Beast Taming Xu Family, as one of the top-tier forces in Jiang Country and a Nascent Soul Noble Family with a legacy spanning thousands of years, was highly esteemed.

Now, two False Core Immortals had died in succession!

Moreover, their deaths were utterly inexplicable, and it was unknown which forces were behind them!

Disgrace!

Provocation!

This was a blatant disgrace and provocation!

Trampling over the dignity of the Beast Taming Xu Family!

Yet, following the deaths of the two False Cores, an inexplicable fear began to rise in the heart of the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family.

Besides the Four Great Immortal Sects, no one in the Cultivation Realm of Jiang Country would dare to oppose the Xu Family in such a manner!

“Elder Ancestor Xu Ge should have gone to the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family…”

A member of the Xu Family cautiously began to speak.

“Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family?”

The eyes of the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family opened and closed, strands of golden light flowing within, captivating the soul.

Although the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family had a not-so-small reputation in the Qingyun Region, it was still insignificant in the eyes of the elder ancestor.

“Report to Elder Ancestor…”

This high-ranking member of the Xu Family immediately spoke up, explaining that the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family had emerged as a force in the past twenty years.

Their patriarch, Lu Changsheng, and his wife, Lu Miaoge, practiced a Dual Cultivation Technique, and their combined strength was comparable to that of a False Core Immortal.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng carried a certain heritage of the Talisman Path, and soon after his Foundation Establishment breakthrough, he relied on Talisman Formations to kill three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, making his name in a single battle and beginning his rise.

“Even if this couple’s combined strength is on par with a False Core, they could not have killed Xu Ge!”

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family declared.

Although Xu Ge’s character was flawed.

But as a False Core Immortal, there was no doubting his combat prowess.

How could two cultivators, who only barely contend with a False Core through their Dual Cultivation Technique, be Xu Ge’s opponent? And to kill Xu Ge?

Could it be that all the disciples he raised in the Beast Taming Xu Family were incompetent?

It was known that the cultivators of the Beast Taming Xu Family each had Spiritual Beasts, greatly surpassing their peers in strength!

Moreover, due to experiences in his early years, Xu Ge was very cautious in his actions.

Even when facing Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he would choose to ambush.

It was not possible for him to mock his opponents openly, giving them a chance, before engaging in combat.

Therefore, under these circumstances, he found it even less plausible that two little Foundation Establishment cultivators could kill Xu Ge.

“Could it be the Qingyun Sect…”

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family felt a sinking in his heart upon hearing that the location of Blue Lake Mountain was not far from Qingyun Sect.

Although the Beast Taming Xu Family was under the rule of the Qingyun Sect, they were sovereign in their own right.

The Qingyun Sect was not keen on seeing the Xu Family become too powerful.

But he immediately dismissed this thought.

Given the current situation of the Xu Family, there was no need for the Qingyun Sect to engage in such actions.

If there was another Nascent Soul Cultivator in the family, it might be understandable for the Qingyun Sect to take such actions, with some justification.

“Could it be the Five Elements Royal Family…”

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family continued to ponder.

Back in the day, he had gone to the Five Elements Royal Family to slap their face and establish his might; the Royal Family must have held a grudge.

Perhaps to spite him, they took the opportunity to ambush Xu Ge.

“Elder Ghost of the Wang Family would not have the guts to do such a thing, for if anything happened to him, the Five Elements Royal Family would completely fall.”

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family rejected this thought as well, considering other family forces.

“Elder Ancestor, Lu Changsheng of Blue Lake Mountain must have had a great opportunity or a significant fortuitous encounter to rise up so quickly in just a few decades, perhaps holding some treasure in his hands, so…”

At this moment, the Family Head of the Xu Family bravely spoke up.

When the second ancestor of the Xu Family was killed years ago, there was a long investigation without any clues.

Now, with the situation of Xu Ge, except for the knowledge that Xu Ge was preparing to ambush Lu Changsheng at Blue Lake Mountain, there was no information or clues.

Asking them to investigate this matter was doomed to yield no clues to the killer.

So the only option was to blame this incident on Blue Lake Mountain and try to quell the elder ancestor’s rage.

“Send someone to investigate Blue Lake Mountain; if it’s indeed related, report back immediately.”

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family said with a grave voice, although the possibility was extremely slim, it could not be entirely dismissed.

“The matter of Xu Ge must not be spread. Going forward, retract the family’s forces, stay vigilant, and keep a close watch on the movements of Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, Spirit Taming Sect, Danxia Mountain, Huan Yin Sect, Wang Family, and Shangguan Family!”

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family continued, his voice filled with authority and decisiveness.

In his heart, he still leaned towards the involvement of other Nascent Soul Level powers.

After all, many times, the adversaries might not necessarily have a direct conflict of interest with his Xu Family.

Perhaps some force wanted to drive a wedge, hoping to benefit from the chaos like a fisherman reaping the rewards.

“Yes, Elder Ancestor!”

The members of the Xu Family responded in unison.

…

Meanwhile.

Within a cave in a mountain range.

Yun Wanshang, sensing something, opened her beautiful eyes.

“Hmm?”

She looked at the approaching Lu Changsheng, his face pale and his mana aura disordered and weak, and her brow slightly furrowed.

She had called him to cultivate, but why did he look as if he had just undergone a tough magical duel?

“Elder.”

Seeing the stunning and noble Yun Wanshang dressed in a colorful palace outfit before him, Lu Changsheng’s eyes showed a trace of amazement before he quickly bowed in a salutation.

“What has happened to you?”
