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

Chapter 2625: Chapter 853: Turning the Tables, Absolute Sword True Monarch Astounded! (Double Chapter) (Part 2)

How long can they hold on, and how long can they fight, also depends on these Nascent Soul True Lords.

”Mm.”

Hong Lian responded with a charming smile, her brows radiant with delight.

The two did not talk for long at the Yun Meng Restaurant and returned first to the City Lord Mansion.

”Husband, Senior Hong Lian...”

Ling Zixiao saw them return and inquired about the purpose of Absolute Sword True Monarch’s visit.

Realizing the True Monarch’s visit was likely related to her husband’s involvement in the Liangyue War.

Ever since her son Lu Lingxiao represented Great Dream Immortal City on the Yue Country front, she has been particularly attentive to this war, often keeping an eye on it.

Even though for seven years, her son never mentioned any dangerous situations in his letters, only reporting on the war.

But having risen from a loose cultivator to become an Array Master of Jiuxiao Immortal City, and then the main mother of Bi Lake Mountain and Grand Steward of the Immortal City, overseeing many affairs, how could she not be aware of the dangers of this war?

Through the city’s intelligence channels, she knew her son was injured multiple times in the war.

”Zixiao...”

Lu Changsheng knew his wife had always been very concerned about this war, worrying about their son Lu Lingxiao’s safety, and spoke to her about the current situation.

Even though Ling Zixiao knew about Lu Changsheng’s extraordinary growth, she was still surprised and astonished to hear this news.

She really hadn’t expected that her husband, who had just recently broken through to Nascent Soul, had already grown to this extent.

But now, with the matters of the Starry Sky Sea, the Liangyue War, and the Heavenly Sword Sect piling up together, only Lu Changsheng can handle them.

Except for Senior Hong Lian, no one else in the family could provide help or even had the qualification to intervene.

”Don’t worry, I’ll meet with Absolute Sword True Monarch later to learn the true state of this war.”

”As long as I can show my strength, the Heavenly Sword Sect will surely look after Lingxiao.”

Lu Changsheng held his wife’s hand, sitting beside her, speaking warmly.

If their son Lu Lingxiao were to indeed encounter any unexpected situations in the war, he really wouldn’t know how to face Ling Zixiao.

However, he had given Lu Lingxiao several puppets and multiple top-level talismans. Unless a Nascent Soul True Lord acted against him, or he were ambushed by a Core Formation Great Master, it would be difficult to harm him fatally.

”Mm~” Though worried about her son’s situation, Ling Zixiao was not someone who couldn’t weigh the situation.

Knowing Lu Changsheng’s current difficulties, she only inquired about the Starry Sky Sea and Jin Kingdom situation out of concern.

”Husband, won’t Caiyun True Monarch take action?”

At this moment, Ling Zixiao suddenly asked.

This was not meant as sarcasm, but a genuine inquiry.

After all, with Yun Wanshang as a cultivator of the Qingyun Sect, one of the four great immortal sects of Jiang Country, having broken through to Nascent Soul, how could she remain uninvolved?

Even if she didn’t act, the Heavenly Sword Sect might not be pleased, right?

”It seems that Caiyun True Monarch has some matters and cannot take action for now...”

Lu Changsheng did not mention how he knew Caiyun True Monarch’s situation.

The real identity of ”Yun Ji True Monarch” was something Ling Zixiao and Hong Lian had probably already guessed.

”???” Ling Zixiao noticed her husband’s somewhat guilty expression and thought to herself that Caiyun True Monarch might have been significantly drained of primordial energy while helping Lu Changsheng reach Nascent Soul?

Otherwise, she really couldn’t imagine why Caiyun True Monarch wouldn’t act.

”Will Caiyun True Monarch perhaps act later?”

Ling Zixiao continued to ask.

”It should take some time.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

Yun Wanshang, carrying Lu Yunxiao, had not only practiced any Nascent Soul divine ability techniques but was also severely drained of primordial energy.

Her body was only barely recovering now and couldn’t take action in the short term, and even if she recovered, it wouldn’t be convenient for her to go to the frontline.

Moreover, he could see that Yun Wanshang was extremely concerned for her son.

How could she be willing to leave her son Lu Yunxiao and go to the frontline?

Upon hearing this, Ling Zixiao asked no more questions.

She knew that unless Lu Changsheng quickly resolved the Starry Sky Sea matter, only Senior Hong Lian could support Yue Country.

But after spending so many years together, she could sense the indifference in Senior Hong Lian’s bones.

Except for her husband, she seemed indifferent to other matters, not caring about the Liangyue War at all.

Only if her husband asked would Senior Hong Lian possibly go to Yue Country to provide support.

Yet Senior Hong Lian was currently preparing for Nascent Soul, and her husband wouldn’t let her be overly burdened.

At this moment, Ling Zixiao deeply felt the inadequacy of her cultivation strength.

Given enough cultivation resources, the Co-Cultivation Magical Treasure of Divine Fiend Diagram, and the potential released from her Dragon Roar Physique, her cultivation progressed quite rapidly.

She had already broken through to the third layer of Core Formation!

But this cultivation level was far from enough in the Liangyue War.

...

”Zixiao, I’ve gained a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures from the Yiming Ghost Sect that will allow me to enhance your Divine Fiend Diagram...”

After the conversation winded down, Lu Changsheng said to Ling Zixiao, taking out many demonic path materials he had obtained this time.

Preparing to upgrade Ling Zixiao’s Co-Cultivation Magical Treasure, compensating for the time she had spent on managing affairs.

”Husband, you’re currently busy with the matters of the Starry Sky Sea, the Divine Fiend Diagram isn’t urgent for now.”

Ling Zixiao said this, knowing that the upgrade of the Co-Cultivation Magical Treasure would be of limited help to her current cultivation, and let Lu Changsheng focus on the pressing matters.

”Alright.” Lu Changsheng nodded, first supplementing the Magical Treasure’s origin of Ling Zixiao’s Divine Fiend Diagram, planning to do a full upgrade when time allowed.

He also handed over many of the gains to Hong Lian to see if there was anything she could use.

”Regarding the matter of my Nascent Soul, it lies more in my own cultivation.”

Hong Lian’s voice was gentle and melodious.

Unless there were fourth rank top-level spiritual objects, or Heaven and Earth Treasures such as Thunderstrike Fusang Wood, ordinary heavenly and earthly treasures were of no use to her Spirit Embryo Physique.

It would be better to spend more time on the preparations of secret techniques.

Moreover, the Thunderstrike Fusang Wood was enough to condense the cultivation technique Dao Foundation to the extreme.
