Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 1083: 241: Nangong Mili: No Effort Found Despite Exhaustive Search

”Hmm!?”

Lu Changsheng’s heart trembled.

A cultivator’s spiritual sense was extraordinary, rarely stirred without reason.

Having broken through to Core Formation and awakened the Taiyi Divine Soul, his heightened perception made it even less likely for this inexplicable unease to occur for no reason.

Through this faint, fleeting sense of unease, Lu Changsheng vaguely sensed an intriguing... familiarity coming from the other party?

”Familiarity?”

Lu Changsheng was certain he had never met or known the other party before.

So... the other party was most likely disguised.

”Peach Blossom Gu, activate!”

Lu Changsheng recalled a similar feeling when he encountered Meng Xiaochan in Jiuxiao Immortal City back in the day. Withdrawing his gaze, he questioned the Peach Blossom Gu.
”Buzz...”

In an instant, the Peach Blossom Gu transmitted a message through intent, indicating a strong intertwining of peach blossom luck between the two of them.

”Nangong Mili!?”

Through this surge of peach blossom luck, Lu Changsheng immediately deduced the other party’s identity.

It was none other than the woman he had once pierced through with a spear, whose hips were as round as grinding stones.

As for the feeling of familiarity, he now understood its origin.

It stemmed from the Misty Sky Bead he had given her and the sliver of Golden Core Charm he had nurtured for her.

”Why does this woman always seek out such perilous situations?”

Lu Changsheng felt a twinge of displeasure in his heart.

A mother with a child should stay home to care for her daughter. Why wander around Jiang Country’s Cultivation Realm all day long?

First, the Jiuxiao Immortal City incident involved her. Now, the Tianyuan Secret Realm does too?

Does she purposely seek out danger wherever it arises?

”But meeting her isn’t altogether bad. It’s high time I resolved the entanglement between us.”

”When the time comes, traveling to the Jin Kingdom with her to visit Yaoyao will be much more convenient.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm and composed, though he contemplated inwardly.

He planned to make a trip to the Cultivation Realm of the Jin Kingdom after the emergence of the Red Lotus.

Yet, he knew very little about the Jin Kingdom.

Reuniting with his daughter might prove challenging.

With Nangong Mili accompanying him, however, things would be far easier.

As for whether she was willing or not, Lu Changsheng trusted in his own charm.

”Lu Changsheng?”

Lu Changsheng’s perception hadn’t erred. The handsome young man before him was indeed Nangong Mili in disguise, using the Misty Sky Bead.

Seeing Lu Changsheng, Nangong Mili also appeared slightly shaken and surprised.

”How unexpected, encountering him here. This saves me an extra trip.”

Nangong Mili barely glanced at Lu Changsheng before calmly finding a spot to sit cross-legged.

Originally, she had planned to visit Bi Lake Mountain after the secret realm expedition to check on Lu Changsheng.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng here, she decided to wait for the right moment to abduct him instead.

...

Time passed gradually.

People arrived at the grand hall one after another.

Forces like the Beast Taming Xu Family, Five Elements Wang Family, Shangguan Family, Danxia Mountain, and Huan Yin Sect all gathered.

Seeing the five people arriving from the Beast Taming Xu Family, Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised.

Because Xu Ruyin was unexpectedly among them.

”She’s here too?”

Lu Changsheng felt a tinge of astonishment.

But after a moment, he understood. The Beast Taming Xu Family possessed slots for the secret realm, and as one of the Xu Family’s proudest talents, Xu Ruyin receiving a slot was entirely reasonable.

He nodded at Xu Ruyin as a gesture of acknowledgment but didn’t engage her in conversation.

Beyond Xu Ruyin, he recognized few others.

The only one who stood out was a woman with a painted-like visage, her face veiled in white silk, exuding an ethereal charm. She was from the Huan Yin Sect—someone he vaguely recalled being called the ’Qin Fairy,’ a disciple of the sect master.

”Qin Fairy.”

The title amused Lu Changsheng somewhat.

He remembered months ago, his daughter Lu Wangshu had made her name known in the Red Leaf Valley Market during a battle, earning the playful epithet ’Talisman Fairy.’

She had complained to him afterward, saying that such titles were utterly overused.

In Jiang Country’s Cultivation Realm, titles like Talisman Fairy, Qin Fairy, Sword Fairy, and Flower Fairy were dime a dozen.

Once the Beast Taming Xu Family, Danxia Mountain, and Huan Yin Sect had all arrived, a 30-strong group entered the hall.

They wore the attire of disciples from the Luoxia Sect, exuding the imposing presence of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

”It seems unlikely anything major will go wrong in this secret realm. If anything does happen, the Four Great Immortal Sects will suffer tremendous losses.”

Lu Changsheng observed the scene, thinking to himself.

Though the Four Great Immortal Sects were not short of Foundation Establishment cultivators,

Foundation Establishment was not as common as cabbages and formed the backbone of their sects.

Besides, these Foundation Establishment cultivators weren’t ordinary—they were elite disciples within their sects.

After the Luoxia Sect’s arrival, it wasn’t long before the Qingyun Sect, Spirit Taming Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect followed suit.

It was Lu Changsheng’s first time witnessing such an enormous gathering.

The grand hall held nearly three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators!

”If a Demonic Path True Monarch were to attack now, wiping everyone out in one fell swoop, the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm would be half-crippled with severe damage to its vital energy...”

Lu Changsheng sighed internally, scanning the cultivators present with curiosity, wondering how many Demonic Path cultivators had managed to blend in.

He refused to believe Nangong Mili was the only Demonic Path Nascent Soul hiding among them.

Just then, ripples began to stir in the void’s crack in the distance.

Out stepped an old man with white hair and beard, radiating an air of immortality, his robe fluttering effortlessly.

Following him was a woman with sword-like brows as sharp as ink-painted mountains, her icy countenance glowing like a snow lotus in bloom. Her high ponytail added to her aloof disposition, and on her back, she carried a magical sword emanating cold, shimmering strands.

”Greetings, True Person Lingfeng!”

”Greetings, True Person Qing Yi!”

Some immediately recognized the two figures, expressing respectful gazes and clasping their hands in salute.

Even cultivators from family forces who didn’t recognize them were well aware that they were Core Formation immortals from the Four Great Immortal Sects, prompting them all to bow courteously.

”Heh, now that everyone has arrived, this old man won’t waste time with small talk. Line up in order and enter the secret realm one by one.”

The immortal-like Lingfeng True Person surveyed the crowd before speaking, his tone infinitely kind.
