Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1739: 441: Yangming True Master, I Have Been Waiting Here For You! (2)

Although this Ming Sha True Monarch achieved the Nascent Soul Stage only a decade ago, his combat prowess is by no means inferior to that of the Five Poisons Cult Leader.

In truth, Lu Changsheng happens to be the natural nemesis of the Five Poisons Cult Leader’s specific techniques and divine abilities.

His Chaos Body integrates the Kunpeng Demon Body, the Calamitous Poison Body, the Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body, and the White Snake Bloodline, all of which grant him immense resistance to toxins.

When these traits are combined with Lu Changsheng’s quasi-Fourth Rank physique, his immunity to poison reaches its absolute peak.

"Dharma True Body? And that blade—it is undoubtedly a supreme spiritual treasure!"

With a heavy expression, Ming Sha True Monarch realized that Lu Changsheng’s martial capabilities were far from ordinary.

Turning his gaze toward the Five Poisons Cult Leader, he remarked, "Five Poisons Daoist, this individual has sabotaged the pact between our Jin Kingdom and the Liang Country, leading to the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch’s capture by the Heavenly Sword Sect. Is it truly your intention to assist him?"

While he had suspected a deep connection between them based on prior reports, he had not anticipated that the Five Poisons Cult Leader would actually side with Yangming True Master against him.

"I don’t recall the alliance forbidding recruiting others!" the Five Poisons Cult Leader replied with a frigid tone.

Even though the three sects were allied, she was fully aware of Ming Sha True Monarch’s hidden agendas.

During the peak of the Jin Kingdom’s Three Great Demon Sects, the Yiming Ghost Sect held the position of the most powerful entity.

Had their previous generation Nascent Soul ancestor not perished abroad, the Yiming Ghost Sect would never have remained so reserved over the past years.

Now that Ming Sha True Monarch has reached the Nascent Soul Stage and wields the supreme treasure, the [Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool], he clearly has no intention of sharing power as he once did!

"Very well. It appears internal friction regarding the Jiang Country’s pioneering war led to the mission's collapse and the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch falling into the hands of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Since that is the case, I shall send word to the Beast God Mountain and the Heavenly Slaughter Sect myself. I hope the Cult Leader looks after herself!"

Despite the Five Poisons Cult Leader being weakened by injuries, Ming Sha True Monarch lacked the confidence to defeat her alongside the Yangming True Master, who possessed Nascent Soul-level strength.

Furthermore, he was unwilling to gamble everything on a desperate struggle at this particular moment.

With a flicker of his dark red robes, he vanished into the void like a shifting cloak.

Lu Changsheng, gripping the Great Luo Sword Embryo, made no attempt to give chase.

Even with his cultivation rising from the Core Formation Seventh Layer to the Ninth Layer, slaying Ming Sha True Monarch was an impossible task.

Without the restrictive environment of the Myriad Demon Abyss, his opponent could simply tear through the void to flee at any time.

Additionally, having just emerged from the Myriad Demon Abyss, Lu Changsheng was not at his full strength.

"Ayoudo, will this confrontation cause trouble for you?" Lu Changsheng inquired, looking at the pale Five Poisons Cult Leader.

He was a solitary traveler who planned to leave the Jin Kingdom soon, so he felt no pressure from the Yiming Ghost Sect, Beast God Mountain, or the Heavenly Slaughter Sect.

However, the Five Poisons Cult Leader’s foundation was rooted in the Jin Kingdom. Her defiance of the Yiming Ghost Sect could lead to serious repercussions.

"Ming Sha is merely searching for a pretext to redistribute our resources. The primary forces of Beast God Mountain are currently occupied with the Yue Country and lack the capacity to meddle in the Jin Kingdom's affairs."

"Furthermore, Yan Wujang is no fool. He long ago anticipated that Ming Sha would reach the Nascent Soul Stage to reclaim his sect's former glory, but he won't be easily manipulated by mere accusations."

The Five Poisons Cult Leader spoke calmly, yet a shadow of concern remained in her eyes.

Ultimately, both she and the Yangming True Master would be required to justify their actions to the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Beast God Mountain.

If Ming Sha True Monarch successfully swayed Beast God Mountain, her Five Poisons Cult could be in jeopardy once the Liang Country conflict subsided.

"Regardless, the lord should remain wary of the Heavenly Sword Sect after this," she cautioned.

While the Heavenly Sword Sect had previously been open to cooperating with the Yangming True Master, their stance might shift following these events.

"I understand."

Having witnessed the might of Xuanjian True Monarch, Lu Changsheng was already cautious of the Heavenly Sword Sect and preferred to keep his distance.

Now that his ties to the Five Poisons Cult Leader were exposed, he was even less inclined to associate with them.

"Tell me, Ayoudo, I have heard much of the [Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool]. How does Ming Sha True Monarch’s power actually compare to your own?" Lu Changsheng asked, seeking to gauge the man's true strength.

"Though he is a newly ascended Nascent Soul, his Nascent Soul quality exceeds my own. As for the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool... if he deploys it, I am not his equal," the Five Poisons Cult Leader admitted solemnly.

She and the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master had originally assumed Ming Sha would only achieve a Human Dao Nascent Soul.

They hadn't realized he was hiding his true depth and had secretly partnered with Beast God Mountain to attempt the Earth Dao Nascent Soul.

While he fell short of that goal, he remains at the absolute peak of the Human Dao, standing on the very threshold of the Earth Dao.

"Is that so?" Lu Changsheng pressed for more details about the artifact.

"The Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool has been refined by the Yiming Ghost Sect for millennia. It houses countless ghost Dao Soldiers and even a Fourth Rank Ghost King!"

"In the past, Ming Sha couldn't command the Ghost King and could only borrow its aura to fight Nascent Soul experts. Now that he has ascended, he likely possesses the means to control it directly!" the Five Poisons Cult Leader explained.

"A Fourth Rank Ghost King!?"

Lu Changsheng was stunned, finally understanding how Ming Sha could challenge Nascent Soul cultivators while still at the Core Formation Peak.

Possessing such a treasure was equivalent to Azure Phoenix True Monarch having both a Dao Soldier and a high-tier spiritual pet.

In fact, the Azure Phoenix’s pet, the Qing Luan, was only quasi-Fourth Rank, with its breakthrough still uncertain.

"However, summoning the Fourth Rank Ghost King requires a massive sacrifice of the Blood of Myriad Spirits and his own essence blood; he won't use it casually."

"Furthermore, he used the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool to endure his Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, which damaged his Origin Source. He shouldn't be capable of unleashing its full power for some time," she added.

These secrets were known only to a select few Nascent Soul cultivators within their circle.
