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

Chapter 2340: Chapter 777: Lu Lingjing: Madam, Master Is Missing! (3)

Hong Lian wore a striking gold-plated Vermilion Bird dress, sumptuous and beautiful, her figure exceedingly tall.

Standing next to her, the elegant-featured, graceful-bodied Ling Zixiao not only appeared much shorter but seemed overshadowed completely, like a complementary green leaf.

Hong Lian moved with a sense of regal dignity, receiving the jade slip, her slender fingers lightly tapped it, instantly acknowledging the information within.

She realized that the Heavenly Sword Sect was using the tactic of boiling a frog in warm water, constantly probing her stance.

After a brief contemplation, Hong Lian said, ”This list can be reduced by seventy percent, we’ll respond to the Heavenly Sword Sect later.”

Previously, she had indicated that Lu Changsheng was in closed-door cultivation, politely declining Absolute Sword True Monarch’s invitation.

Though the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t lay things bare, they promptly exerted pressure on Great Dream Immortal City.

Firstly, by suppressing through trade exchanges.

Secondly, citing the Liangyue War, they demanded resource sponsorship from Great Dream Immortal City.

Although Great Dream Immortal City could choose to refuse.

But now that Lu Changsheng isn’t around, Hong Lian still tried to maintain stability as much as possible.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Sword Sect were to tear faces, they would be extremely passive.

”Alright.”

Ling Zixiao lightly nodded, understanding roughly in her heart.

Yet the matter was critical, so she must seek Hong Lian’s opinion.

”Before probing the reality, the Heavenly Sword Sect won’t openly clash with us.”

”Moreover, as the Liangyue War is at a stalemate, the Heavenly Sword Sect finds it difficult to divert attention to deal with us, so it’s best to delay until your husband returns.”

Hong Lian spoke softly with Ling Zixiao, her beautiful gaze subconsciously looking towards the direction of Starry Sky Sea.

Unlike Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and others, she held absolute confidence in Lu Changsheng.

She never believed he encountered danger, merely assumed he was delayed by certain matters, and would soon return.

As the two conversed, both Ling Zixiao and Hong Lian sensed something, a jade talisman appearing in their hands.

It was the Sensing Talisman for communicating with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale!

”Spiritual Whale is back?”

”Has husband returned?”

Seeing the Sensing Talisman in their hands, the two women exchanged glances, each seeing joy in the other’s eyes.

However, they were both shrewd individuals, instantly realizing something amiss.

If their husband was near Immortal City, he ought to return directly using the Michen Banner, why would he have the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale send them a message?

This Sensing Talisman, more likely, was sent for them to find the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.

Or perhaps the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale encountered some mishap, prompting a message.

”I’ll go have a look.”

Hong Lian mused for a moment, then said to Ling Zixiao, afterwards, surrounding herself with a radiant glow, enveloping her stunning figure as she vanished.

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale traveled with her husband, yet now Lu Changsheng hadn’t returned while the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale reached out to them; naturally, Hong Lian became more vigilant, exercising great caution, employing Divine Skills to conceal her presence and qi mechanism.

After some time, Hong Lian arrived at Mysterious Whale Island, sensing a faint presence, she activated the Sensing Talisman.

”Splash—”

The tranquil sea suddenly began to roil and roar, the massive form of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale gradually surfacing.

Though capable of human form, as a Demon Beast, Lu Lingjing preferred remaining in Demon Beast form, finding it more comfortable.

”Lingjing, why have you returned alone? Where is the master?”

Seeing the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale before her, Hong Lian’s radiance faded, revealing her figure, she inquired.

”Madam, the master is missing.”

The low voice of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale echoed in Hong Lian’s mind.

”Missing?”

Hong Lian was taken aback, somewhat baffled.

Lu Changsheng was fine, how could he possibly be missing?
