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

Chapter 1624: 409: The Five Venoms Sect Hierarch’s Plot, Fourth-Tier Demon Core Acquired!

Nangong Mili heard the words, her narrow and beautiful eyes slightly squinted, as if deep in thought, and called the maid to look after her son.

”Minghuang, mother has some business to attend to, I’ll play with you later.”

She pinched her son’s chubby little face, then gracefully exited the grand hall, riding a divine rainbow towards the Five Saints Hall.

”Greetings to the Sect Hierarch!”

Nangong Mili arrived at the front of the Five Saints Hall and bowed in salute.

Even though her status in the Five Poisons Cult had risen due to her daughter Nangong Yaoyao’s connection with Yangming True Master, she still dared not show any disrespect towards their own Sect Hierarch.

”Come in!”

Inside the hall, a young but majestic voice immediately responded.

”Heavenly Spider Enforcer pays respect to the Sect Hierarch!”

Nangong Mili entered the grand hall and, seeing the delicately featured and almost childlike Five Poisons Sect Hierarch seated above, bowed once more with utmost reverence.
”Do you know why I have summoned you here?”

The Five Poisons Sect Hierarch’s face was as fair as jade, exquisitely delicate, wearing a dignified silver crown hairpin, with eyes filled with an aged majesty that didn’t match the youthful appearance.

”Sect Hierarch, is it about the pioneer war in the Jiang Country?”

Judging from the Sect Hierarch’s expression and attitude, Nangong Mili guessed that this endeavor of the Five Poisons Sect Hierarch might not have gone smoothly.

”I, along with the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, went to Jiang Country, confident in our victory, but unexpectedly, Yangming True Master emerged.”

”This person intercepted the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, causing the action to fail.”

The Five Poisons Sect Hierarch spoke without expression, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

According to the plan, if they severely injured Jiang Country, they could also take a share from Yue Country.

Afterwards, by jointly attacking Jiang Country with Liang Country, they intended to seize sufficient resources, potentially allowing her to advance further.

But due to Yangming True Master, this operation encountered an unexpected setback, additionally causing her to suffer not insignificant injuries, which would be hard to recover from in less than three to five years.

”What!?”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Mili’s delicate figure trembled, her enchanting and beautiful face full of shock and disbelief.

She knew Lu Changsheng was formidable, joining forces with the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, almost unbeatable under the Nascent Soul realm.

But for a Core Formation cultivator to contend with a Nascent Soul, that was utterly impossible! .

A Core Formation cultivator barely escaping from a Nascent Soul True Lord belongs to top-level Core Formation cultivators, great enough to boast about and gain wide fame.

As for a Core Formation facing off equally with a Nascent Soul, what kind of concept is that? She couldn’t imagine.

Even the Saint Heirs and Holy Maidens of the Demonic Seven Sects might find it difficult to achieve this, would they not?

”I beg the Sect Hierarch’s forgiveness, I am unaware of this matter, and there may be some misunderstanding involved.”

Nangong Mili quickly knelt to apologize and plead for forgiveness.

She knew that this action concerned the Jin Kingdom’s future trajectory and her Sect Hierarch’s opportunity for breakthrough.

After all, reaching the Nascent Soul realm, relying on diligent cultivation alone was extremely difficult;one had to either travel in search of opportunities or resort to war for plunder.

Now that the action had failed, it meant the plan was disrupted...

”I am not seeking to blame you, but rather to understand, why would Yangming True Master assist Jiang Country?”

The Five Poisons Sect Hierarch’s tone softened somewhat as she spoke.

If not for Yangming True Master, and considering Nangong Yaoyao’s connection, even if Nangong Mili was loyal to the Five Poisons Cult, she would have directly blamed her, possibly even using soul search.

But having seen Yangming True Master’s methods, she suspected that this person was either a Nascent Soul cultivator who had fallen in realm or had performed Nascent Soul possession.

In either case, this person at their peak was not someone she could match.

Under such circumstances, who knows whether Nangong Mili harbors his prohibitions or backup plans?

Should she make a move against Nangong Mili, it could alarm the snake and bring upon herself a formidable enemy.

It would be better to explore through Nangong Mili, to understand this person’s situation and see whether any opportunity could be gained from him.

Moreover, now that Yangming True Master is only at the Core Formation level, if she could find a way to control him, she might be able to take the opportunity to unify the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Yiming Ghost Sect.

”Sect Hierarch, regarding this matter, I am also unaware, but he was in Jiang Country at an early age, possibly related to the Heavenly Sword Sect and Jiang Country influences.”

Facing a Nascent Soul True Lord, Nangong Mili dared not lie, nor could easily do so, speaking respectfully.

”Oh?”

The Five Poisons Sect Hierarch squinted slightly, the five-colored crystal light flickering in her pupils, directly looking at Nangong Mili and saying: ”Tell me in detail about this Yangming True Master, how you came to know each other?”

Nangong Mili’s expression became slightly hazy, all matters regarding Lu Changsheng involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and she began to speak.

At this time, a refreshing stream of air suddenly flowed into her Sea of Consciousness Soul, clearing her vague consciousness a bit, though it didn’t completely wake her from this state.

”This is a Divine Ability!”

Nangong Mili instantly realized that the Sect Hierarch had used some sort of soul-bewitching divine ability on her, though it was not a soul search, it could still probe her true intentions.

She didn’t have time to ponder why a cool air lingered in her mind;following instinct, she recounted everything about her and Lu Changsheng.

”Reporting to Sect Hierarch, back when you challenged Xuanjian True Monarch, Little Chan and I went to Jiang Country on a mission, where Yun Jianfeng had laid a trap at Jiuxiao Immortal City and gravely injured us...”

”Little Chan and I, although we managed to escape, were seriously injured and unconscious.”

”Little Chan, having grown up in Jiang Country, knew Yangming True Master and asked him to save me, but he was both righteous and evil, saving me through a dual cultivation method, resulting in my bearing Yaoyao...”

”After I woke up, I returned with Little Chan and never saw him again until the Tianyuan Secret Realm, where Yangming True Master reappeared, saving me from the hands of the Four Great Immortal Sects in Jiang Country, then went to Jin Kingdom to visit Yaoyao, taking Little Chan away as well...”

”Three years ago, Yangming True Master came to Jin Kingdom because Little Chan was advancing to Core Formation, lacking subsequent cultivation techniques, so went to the Myriad Poisons Cult to seek further cultivation techniques...”
