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

Chapter 1977: Chapter 654: Three Treasures of Demon Extermination, the Beast Tide Strikes!_2

Even the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, under his command, was already lurking near the Great Dream Immortal City to avoid startling the beast tide.

After all, with the current suppression of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, just a patrol around the city would be enough to deter the present beast tide, at least until the Third Rank or even the concealed Fourth Rank Demon King attacked.

But Lu Changsheng didn’t want to alert the enemy, planning to wait for the hidden Fourth Rank Demon King to reveal itself.

...

City Lord Mansion.

”What is the current situation?”

Lu Lingxiao, dressed in a dark golden robe with dragon patterns, stood tall and slender, his face masked with a gilded facade.

Apart from a pair of piercing golden eyes, his true appearance was entirely hidden.

Yet his entire demeanor, standing with hands behind his back, exuded a majestic aura that seemed to embrace the sun and moon, carrying the weight of towering mountains.

”Young City Lord, the situation is stable for now, but according to the scouting reports, the second wave of the beast tide will attack in at most three days.”

A cultivator from the Immortal City reported respectfully in front of Lu Lingxiao.

Though this Young City Lord was only at the Foundation Establishment, his golden pupils gleamed with the aura of a True Dragon descending to the mortal world, making others feel three steps weaker, unable to meet his gaze.

Even Lu Qingsong felt gradually uneasy when interacting with this younger brother on a daily basis.

”Three days... Are there sufficient personnel in the Immortal City currently? What about the status of elixir medicines, talismans, and magic artifacts?”

During these days, Lu Lingxiao remained in the Immortal City, not venturing out to slay demons but constantly monitoring both the frontline and rear city situations.

”Reporting to the Young City Lord...”

The cultivator immediately provided a report.

Hearing this, Lu Lingxiao proceeded to several locations to inspect the supplies.

During the process, he occasionally checked a token swirling with sun and moon light, which was the [Sun and Moon Token] crafted by Lu Changsheng.

Previously, the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] was left at Bi Lake Mountain, and the Sun and Moon Token was at the Great Dream Immortal City, losing effectiveness unless Bi Lake Mountain responded proactively.

But Lu Changsheng had brought the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, allowing the Sun and Moon Token to become a communication tool for the Lu Family.

...

As time passed, when the second wave of the beast tide struck, small islands gradually succumbed to the attack.

Although the Immortal City had long announced the impending beast tide, only a minority chose to abandon and retreat.

In response, the Immortal City naturally had to intervene, dispatching personnel for support.

”Puff puff puff—”

Outside Red Carp Island, Lu Qingshan stood with his sister Lu Qingzhu, looking somewhat casually at dozens of attacking demon beasts. A sword light flashed, instantly dispatching all of them.

He then lightly lifted his hand, gathering the demon beasts’ corpses with a Great Hand of Magic Power and tossing them onto Red Carp Island, signaling them for cleanup.

The Lu Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed on Red Carp Island was named Lu Xingran, daughter of Xia Zhizue.

Spectators, including other cultivators, were left in awe, their throats dry, as they deeply realized the combat prowess of a Nascent Soul Immortal.

”Brother, Lingxiao has sent a message requesting support for Ningxiang Island.”

At this moment, Lu Qingzhu saw a message from the [Sun and Moon Token], promptly informing her brother.

Though the Sun and Moon Token facilitated communication, the Lu Family’s disciples couldn’t monitor it constantly.

To optimize Lu Qingshan’s efficiency, Lu Qingzhu took on the role of supervising, relaying messages promptly.

”Alright.”

Lu Qingshan nodded gently, ready to depart with his sister.

Lu Qingzhu, unlike her brother, first signaled to Lu Xingran, indicating she would head over first and notifying any developments promptly.

”Alright, Sister Qingzhu.”

Even though Lu Qingshan often exhibited arrogance and aloofness, Lu Qingzhu’s gentleness toward the Lu Family’s disciples garnered Lu Xingran’s affection.

...

Golden Stingray Island.

Lu Qingyan donned silver armor, wielding a black great halberd similar to the one Lu Ping’an had in his early years.

Though her physique wasn’t as robust as Lu Ping’an’s, she moved deftly, wading through waves, and wielded the great halberd to slay an early-stage Second Rank demon beast.

Behind her lined a group of ghostly dark fishes and serpents—the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldier—merging their aura with hers.

Although these Dao Soldiers were of the First Grade and had limited combat strength, the beast tide’s main force was also First Grade, allowing Lu Qingyan’s mana to seem boundless under their support.

Through these days of hunting demon beasts, Lu Qingyan gradually made a name for herself in the Great Dream Marsh, with many recognizing her as part of the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family, cultivating the same technique and commanding similar Dao Soldiers as the Lu family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an!

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away from the Great Dream Immortal City, a graceful woman in a purple dress led three girls of varying ages in hunting demon beasts.

The girl at the forefront appeared sixteen or seventeen, in a red fitted dress, hair tied in a bun, wielding a black flood dragon spear, and riding a wind wheel ablaze with golden flames.

Beside her was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl, holding a luminous zither that seemed intricately carved from white jade.

The melodious sound of the zither flowed like a clear spring, its enchanting notes seemingly penetrating souls, causing many demon beasts to become dazed and sink into the water.

When a demon beast emerged before her, she expressionlessly wielded the zither, whirling it with powerful gusts, her momentum matching that of the girl wielding the black flood dragon spear.

The third girl, delicate and lovely, her hair styled elegantly, cast techniques continuously, occasionally glancing at her mother.

These four were, of course, Meng Xiaochan, Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi, and Lu Mengchan.

The poison was unlike elixir medicines, talismans, or magic artifacts; it required little crafting.

Hence, with the beast tide approaching, Meng Xiaochan used the opportunity to bring her daughters along to gain experience and face challenges.
