Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1741: 441: Yangming True Master, I Have Been Waiting Here for a Long Time!

Wang Yanjing bit her lip softly, her voice carrying a hint of hesitation as she spoke.

Even though she had long since abandoned any hope of returning to her kin, the news that her family faced total destruction still sent ripples of unease through her heart.

"Alas."

Born into a cultivation family herself, Lu Miaoyun could deeply empathize with Wang Yanjing’s current state of mind.

With the Wang family now under blockade and facing a dire crisis, it would undoubtedly leave a permanent scar on her heart if she, a former Nascent Soul Seed of that lineage, could not offer any assistance or see them one last time.

After a period of reflection, she signaled for Wang Yanjing to wait while she traveled to the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven to consult with Lu Miaoge.

"What brings you here, Yun’er?"

For many years, Lu Miaoge had remained on Bi Lake Mountain, focusing her efforts on cultivating Divine Ability Techniques.

"Sister Miaoge..."

Lu Miaoyun offered a concise explanation of Wang Yanjing’s predicament before adding, "My husband previously suggested writing a letter to provide some aid, but the situation has escalated. The Wang family cultivators are now sealed within the Five Elements Mountain by surrounding forces and are currently under siege."

"I fear that forcing Jing’er to stay behind might lead her to develop a Heart Demon. Therefore, I considered having Xingchen accompany her, taking Little Black along. Their goal would be limited—perhaps rescuing a few individuals rather than becoming fully entangled in the Wang family’s territorial disputes."

Since Lu Changsheng was away from the residence, it was only natural for her to seek Lu Miaoge’s counsel on such matters.

Lu Miaoge considered the proposal, her voice as gentle as flowing water, "If that is the case, let Xingchen take Little Black and go with Jing’er."

Wang Yanjing had not only provided the Lu family with a Nascent Soul Seed like Lu Xuanqian, but she was also regarded as a Nascent Soul Seed of the Lu family herself.

Under these circumstances, failing to help when they possessed the means would be difficult to justify and truly disheartening.

Furthermore, one had to consider the feelings of Lu Xingchen and Xia Zhizue alongside Wang Yanjing.

Xia Zhizue had borne six sons for the Lu family; among them, Lu Xingchen possessed the greatest talent. He was also deeply devoted to his wife, who had given birth to such a brilliant grandson.

"Very well."

Lu Miaoyun replied with a soft smile, feeling inclined to provide support.

There was a risk that revealing a Third Rank Demon King level Nine Netherhound to the world might attract the scrutiny of other powerful families or trigger the alertness of the Qingyun Sect.

However, with both Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge being Nascent Soul Cultivators, the Lu family was already an object of fear for many. To remain overly timid now would feel less dignified than in their earlier days.

Besides, a Third Rank Nine Netherhound could not be hidden from the public eye forever. Deploying it now would serve as a display of the family’s growing prestige!

Without delay, Lu Miaoyun dispatched a message to White Tiger Mountain, commanding Lu Xianzhi to have the Nine Netherhound escorted back to Bi Lake Mountain.

By that afternoon, Lu Xuanyu, the son of Lu Xianzhi, arrived at Bi Lake Mountain accompanied by the creature.

"Jing’er, as my husband and Sister Miaoge are both currently occupied with closed-door cultivation, they cannot personally intervene in the Wang family’s affairs. Consequently, it has been decided that the Nine Netherhound shall accompany you..."

Lu Miaoyun summoned Lu Xingchen and Wang Yanjing to relay the decision.

"The Nine Netherhound."

They were well aware that the Nine Netherhound served as the Lu family’s guardian spirit beast, usually stationed at White Tiger Mountain.

"The Nine Netherhound has reached the level of a Third Rank Demon King. If your only goal is to extract a few people, the rival families and even that Yellow Ape True Man should show you some respect."

Lu Miaoyun spoke with a subtle smile, gesturing toward the Nine Netherhound standing nearby.

"Roar!"

The beast emitted a low, vibrating growl. Its ink-black fur bristled as it released the suffocating pressure of a Third Rank demonic power.

"A Third Rank Demon King!"

Both Lu Xingchen and Wang Yanjing were struck with amazement.

They had no idea that the family’s guardian had already broken through to the Third Rank!

This development had been kept entirely secret from them.

While Lu Xingchen could eventually process this given his knowledge of the family’s deep foundations, Wang Yanjing was completely stunned. She knew all too well how grueling it was to nurture a Third Rank Demon King within a single century.

In the past, the Wang family had also attempted to raise a Third Rank guardian beast.

However, without a proper Beast Taming Inheritance, the process was an exhausting drain on time and resources, with no certainty that the beast would remain loyal to the clan after its master’s death.

The fact that the Lu family’s spirit beast was not only a Third Rank powerhouse but also remarkably submissive was nothing short of miraculous!

Despite the Nine Netherhound’s obedience, it was not particularly well-acquainted with Lu Xingchen.

"Grandmother, perhaps it would be best if I accompanied Uncle Xingchen. We can look out for one another during the journey."

Although Lu Xuanyu was a Second Rank Puppet Master, he spent the majority of his time on White Tiger Mountain and was very familiar with the Nine Netherhound, often attending to its needs.

"In that case, I shall leave the hard work to you, Xuanyu."

Lu Miaoyun nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing of his parents' impending departure, Lu Xuanqian wished to join them. However, due to the immense importance of his Five Elements Physique, Wang Yanjing insisted he stay safely at home.

The visiting elder from the Wang family was initially crestfallen to see that Wang Yanjing was only bringing two Foundation Establishment Cultivators. However, when he realized the Nine Netherhound was a Third Rank Demon King, his disappointment turned to shock, and then to trembling excitement.

Wang Yanjing spoke softly to the elder, "Thirteenth Uncle, the Five Elements Mountain is no longer defensible. It is better to abandon it."

She understood that while the Nine Netherhound provided significant leverage for a rescue mission, it was not enough to hold the Five Elements Mountain against the besieging forces.

"I understand."

The elder acknowledged the reality of the situation with a bitter nod, and the group promptly departed for the Five Elements Mountain.
