Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family - Chapter 1641 - 554: Subduing with a Raise of the Hand, Harvesting the Flood Dragon, and Making a Name in Jiang Country!
Chapter 1641: Chapter 554: Subduing with a Raise of the Hand, Harvesting the Flood Dragon, and Making a Name in Jiang Country!
Then came the beast tide.
Though the Great Dream Marsh is more stable compared to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, it does experience beast tides too.
At this time, as the master of the Immortal City, one must be the first to suppress the beast tide.
If the beast tide is too large, assistance can be requested from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“We, as a couple, are aware of this.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and said.
Then the three of them chatted briefly and the Ancient Sword True Man took his leave.
Perhaps knowing that the two were not cultivators from Jiang Country, he didn’t bother asking their names during the entire interaction.
…
“The Heavenly Sword Sect is indeed quite bold.”
Hong Lian spoke after the Ancient Sword True Man left.
Many sects and forces are eager to hoard all resources without sharing even a fraction.
Yet the Heavenly Sword Sect is willing to relinquish some benefits to loose cultivators.
“Although the Heavenly Sword Sect has a Nascent Soul True Lord overseeing them, it’s not enough to control such a vast territory, it’s better to share some benefits and strengthen the national power.”
Lu Changsheng thought that the approach of the Heavenly Sword Sect was indeed the righteous way.
By allocating benefits to the lower level, thereby strengthening the national strength, and then expanding outward to seize resources.
If they relied on exploiting loose cultivators and the lower class, using the entire country to support one sect, it would seem a little narrow-minded.
After talking for a while, then they headed to the city dungeon to check on Wanhu True Master.
“City Lord!”
“Greetings to the City Lord!”
The cultivators guarding the dungeon saw Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, and immediately bowed with hands clasped.
Whether or not the two were Meng Wuheng and Cloud Dream True Master, today’s display of their strength was undeniable.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.
He then proceeded to the cell holding Wanhu True Master, looking at the Wanhu True Master whose mana was suppressed, he spoke.
“Wanhu True Master, you came to challenge us as a couple, and now having been defeated, I wonder what price you are willing to pay to exchange for your own life?”
Lu Changsheng, wearing a feather cloak, appeared calm and dignified, hands behind his back as he spoke.
“I wonder what requirements City Lord Wuheng has to let me go?”
Wanhu True Master knew that the two in front of him were not the early years’ Meng Wuheng couple, not sure of their temperaments, he spoke softly.
“Your spiritual pet is not bad, this City Lord happens to lack a riding mount.”
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment before speaking.
For now, he wouldn’t easily use the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng in public; as a dignified master of the Immortal City, he surprisingly lacked a riding mount.
Although Wanhu True Master’s flood dragon was just average, it seemed passable in his eyes.
In the future, when it’s no longer needed, it can be refined into a Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapon.
“This is impossible!”
Wanhu True Master’s expression suddenly changed upon hearing this.
The three-ranked flood dragon might seem average to Lu Changsheng.
But it cost him untold resources to nurture it to the third rank.
Now, having finally cultivated it to the third rank, why would he willingly hand it over?
Once given away, his combat power would drop by a level.
“Since that’s the case, you can stay for now, think it over later.”
Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng spoke coldly.
If not for the purpose of subduing the flood dragon, he wouldn’t bother saying more.
He would simply clean out the storage bag and storage ring and then throw him out of the Immortal City.
…
Several days later.
Wanhu True Master knew that he had now become a prisoner with no room for negotiation, he finally chose to surrender, offering his third-ranked flood dragon.
However, even if the owner was willing to release the soul contract for such a third-ranked Demon King, it would still require Lu Changsheng to spend time taming it, unlike the spiritual beasts Lu Changsheng acquired from the system which are much more obedient.
After acquiring the third-ranked flood dragon, Lu Changsheng released Wanhu True Master.
Though the storage bag, storage ring, and life-bound magic treasure naturally couldn’t be returned to him.
But Lu Changsheng did not act ruthlessly and indicated that they could be redeemed with money.
The emptied Wanhu True Master, of course, had no money now.
But as the Ancient Sword True Man said, this Wanhu True Master came with a few friends.
Under such circumstances, isn’t it normal for each of them to contribute some spirit stones and help redeem his life-bound magic treasure?
Soon, Wanhu True Master gathered spirit stones to redeem his life-bound magic treasure ’Sea Dragon Staff’ along with two commonly used magic treasures.
After having obtained both the opponent’s flood dragon and all his possessions, Lu Changsheng did not extort further, and traded at normal prices.
…
The news of Wanhu True Master being released spread out, and in Great Dream Immortal City, at the Heavenly Sword Sect’s station, the Ancient Sword True Man nodded his head.
Although Wanhu True Master is merely a loose cultivator and not a sect member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he is still a part of Jiang Country!
In future pioneering wars, cultivation world battles, these loose cultivators are also crucial forces.
Therefore, their Heavenly Sword Sect did not wish to see Wanhu True Master being killed off.
If Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian acted domineeringly and killed him directly, then the Heavenly Sword Sect would have to reevaluate the suitability of the two in controlling the Immortal City.
Upon receiving the news, he also left Great Dream Immortal City and returned to Heavenly Sword Sect to report the situation regarding the couple.
Meanwhile, information about the Great Dream Immortal City, the city lord couple suppressing Wanhu True Master, spread swiftly throughout Jiang Country’s cultivation realm as if it had wings.
Countless people were stunned upon hearing it, gaping in disbelief.
After all, not long ago, the news of the change in control of the Immortal City caused a huge stir.
It turned out, just as suddenly, that the seasoned Wanhu True Master was defeated with one move!
Many forces were originally eager and ready to take action, wanting to wait for loose cultivators like Wanhu True Master to test the real situation and then plot to seize the benefits of the Immortal City, now they all dispelled their thoughts.
Because according to both the Nascent Soul Immortal on the scene at the time and Wanhu True Master himself, ’Cloud Dream True Master’ has a soul far beyond those of Nascent Soul cultivators, comparable even to a Nascent Soul True Lord!
Regardless of whether the news is true or false, this information is extremely shocking, terrifying countless cultivators.
And ’Wuhen True Man’s one punch to suppress Wanhu True Master, one kick to send flying the third-ranked flood dragon’s battle power, led many to fear and left them unable to grasp its depth.
After all, this ’Wuhen True Man’ had not even utilised any magic treasures, relying only on the physical body and mana throughout!
“Even if the Immortal City changes hands, the strength of these two new city lords likely won’t fall short of the former Meng Wuheng couple.”
“In these turbulent times, without sufficient strength, who would dare to hold an Immortal City?”
“I wonder what relation these two have with the Meng Wuheng couple; when did Jiang Country have such cultivators!”
“According to the situation then, that ’Wuhen True Man’ is adept in both magical dual cultivation, with body refining techniques from the Buddhist sect, he should not be a cultivator from our Jiang Country!”
This battle had little impact on the lower level cultivators, mostly heard as entertainment, but it spread mainly among the higher echelons.
Many speculated about the situation of the Great Dream Immortal City, and added some caution towards these two mysterious city lords.
…
Qingyun Sect.
Chu Qingyi was surprised, puzzled upon hearing the news from Great Dream Immortal City.
Previously hearing about a pair of couples becoming the new city lords of Great Dream Immortal City, she hadn’t thought much of it.
Upon hearing about ’Cloud Dream True Master’s strength, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Where did Lu Changsheng find such a ’wife’?
Could it be yet another of his close female companions?
For some reason, Chu Qingyi’s heart unexpectedly surged with a little sourness and inexplicable sentiment.
…
Bi Lake Mountain.
Lu Miaoyun felt a wave of indescribable emotion surging within her upon hearing the news.
She had been married to Lu Changsheng for seventy years.
These seventy years, she watched Lu Changsheng grow bit by bit.
From the son-in-law at Qingzhu Mountain to being a son-in-law, then becoming a Second Rank Talisman Master, Foundation Building Great Cultivator, to establishing the Lu Family at Bi Lake Mountain.
Unknowingly, her husband, once a country boy married into Qingzhu Mountain, has now become a master of an Immortal City, standing at the most prominent place in Jiang Country.
“Husband…”
She stood on Bi Yun Peak, looking towards the direction of the Great Dream Marsh, her heart filled with longing.
In her earlier years, she was sensitive and lacked confidence, often getting overly concerned in Lu Changsheng’s presence.
But as years passed, being the main mother of Bi Lake Mountain, the Lu Family, she was no longer that overly anxious young girl.
…
Jiuxiao Immortal City
“Wang Lin, Li Muwan…”
A masked woman murmured softly as she listened to the news, remembering her parents’ instructions.
