Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1746: 443: Innate Chaotic Sword Body Dao Embryo, the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family’s Scheme!

A devious plan to shift misfortune onto others and strike with a borrowed blade suddenly formed in the mind of the Xu Family’s Elder Ancestor.

As the Holy Maiden of Beast God Mountain, the dominant force in Liang Country, the Nether Moon Saintess was a Nascent Soul seed. Her cultivation level, martial prowess, status, and prestige were all at a height that the Xu Family could only worship from afar!

If this Saintess took an interest in the Nine Netherhound, she could claim it with a casual gesture. A single thought from her would be enough to erase the Lu Family from existence.

Directly contacting such a divine figure was nearly impossible for him, as his words would struggle to reach her ears. However, a paragon like the Nether Moon Saintess possessed countless devotees throughout Liang Country.

The moment these admirers caught wind of information that could assist the advancement of the Saintess’s Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf, they would surely be eager to cross into Jiang Country!

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

As this scheme took root in his mind, the Xu Family Elder Ancestor felt as though a path of infinite potential had opened before him.

He continued to examine the Nine Netherhound’s image within the Jade Slip, unable to stop himself from murmuring: "The resemblance is uncanny, truly uncanny!"

Previously, he had merely noted a passing similarity. Now that his perspective had shifted, he felt the Lu Family’s Nine Netherhound and the Nether Moon Saintess’s Heavenly Wolf were practically cast from the same mold.

The physical appearance alone was likely sufficient to seize the Nether Moon Saintess’s attention.

After a moment of deliberation, the Elder Ancestor summoned a dependable clan elder. Handing over a Jade Slip, he commanded: "Xiao Jiu, carry this intelligence to the Heavenly Capital. Discreetly suggest its delivery to Beast God Mountain, and ensure it reaches the ears of the Nether Moon Saintess or her circle of admirers..."

He refrained from exaggerating the details regarding the Nine Netherhound.

After all, top-tier intelligence networks would eventually uncover the truth of such matters.

However, he did include several exclusive secrets and theories. He highlighted the Lu Family’s possession of a premier Beast Taming Inheritance and a bloodline Supreme Treasure capable of accelerating the growth of the Nether Moon Wolf.

...

As the days turned into weeks, news of the Nine Netherhound traveled beyond the Luoxia Sect’s borders, reaching the lands of the Qingyun Sect and eventually the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

The Heavenly Talisman Lu Family’s reputation climbed another step as countless cultivators discussed the news.

Most family clans under the Qingyun Domain, however, had grown numb to reports concerning the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family.

With two Nascent Soul Immortals like Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family had already become an unattainable peak. Now that they possessed a Third Rank Clan Guardian Spirit Beast, others could only look toward them with profound awe.

Nevertheless, the Nascent Soul level powers of Jiang Country, such as the Spirit Taming Sect and the Qingyun Sect, monitored the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family with increased scrutiny.

The Spirit Taming Sect, as one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, had no intentions of stealing the beast. Yet, as a power built on Beast Taming, they were naturally intrigued. They wondered how Lu Changsheng had managed to raise a Third Rank Demon Beast in just over a century.

Meanwhile, the Qingyun Sect felt that the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family was expanding at an alarming rate.

If this trajectory continued, the Lu Family might soon eclipse the Beast Taming Xu Family.

In the eyes of the Qingyun Sect Leader, Lu Changsheng was in his prime with a vast lifespan ahead of him. Combined with his tie to Xiao Xiyue, he represented a greater long-term challenge than the Xu Family ever had.

He even felt a flicker of regret for having sanctioned the union between Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue years ago.

At the same time, within the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range of Yue Country.

"Puff, puff, puff!!!"

Seven Flying Swords danced in the air, manifesting eighty-one distinct sword lights. They radiated seven-colored Geng Metal Sword Qi, crisscrossing like a starlit firmament to trap a Third Rank Lion King within their reach.

The Third Rank Lion King let out thunderous roars, but it was trapped. Its body was covered in scales and lacerations, and it found no way to shatter the Sword Array. It could do nothing but endure the agonizing strikes of the Flying Swords that left deep, bloody gashes.

After a long duration, a young man appeared outside the array. He possessed an upright stance, starry eyes, and brows shaped like swords. He held a Flying Sword that shimmered like a flowing river of stars from the heavens.

"Puff!"

With a final, mournful cry, the Third Rank Lion King collapsed. Its life force faded as blood pooled on the ground.

"Not bad. A Third Rank Demon King, slain with a mere flick of the wrist!"

Lu Qingshan gripped his Heavenly Circulation Starry Sword Embryo. His expression was calm, yet his sharp aura was palpable. He seemed quite pleased with his performance.

"The quality of this beast is somewhat lacking, but it serves its purpose. If it were too powerful, others might not be able to accurately judge my strength based on this Flame Lion."

After glancing at the fallen Lion King, Lu Qingshan activated an Ice Seal Talisman to preserve the carcass. He tucked it into his Spirit Beast Bag and took to the sky on his sword light, flying toward Jiang Country.

He had reached the Core Formation stage five years prior. Now that his Divine Skills had reached the Small Achievement stage, he was eager to display his power. However, Liang and Yue Countries were currently in a state of truce.

Consequently, he decided to return home to see his sister, Lu Qingzhu, and use his father’s Sword Embryo to further refine his skills.

Still, returning home after a Core Formation breakthrough without a grand gesture felt inadequate.

After some thought, Lu Qingshan had entered the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to test his blades, deciding to bring back a slain Demon King as a gift.

After all, returning home in glory without showing off one's wealth is like wearing fine silk in the dead of night!

By presenting a Third Rank Demon King as a tribute, he wouldn't need to explain his breakthrough or his martial prowess.

The corpse of the Third Rank Demon King would speak for him.

He was Lu Qingshan: the peerless genius of the Lu Family, the greatest talent the Jinyang Sect had seen in a millennium, a cultivator who reached Core Formation at seventy-nine and mastered Divine Skills to the point of slaying a Demon King with ease. He was the future of Yue Country and its premier Sword Cultivator!
