Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1747: 444: Lu Qingshan: Slaying a Tier 3 Demon King to Celebrate the Clan!

Bi Lake Mountain.

The Nine Netherhound was not only the talk of the outside world; the Lu Family disciples were also engaged in fervent discussions. Many looked bewildered, only just realizing that their clan’s spiritual beast had successfully ascended to the Third Rank.

As Lu Xingchen, Wang Yanjing, and Lu Xuanyu made their way back to Bi Lake Mountain accompanied by the Nine Netherhound, a crowd of Lu Family disciples gathered. They were all eager to catch a glimpse of a Third Rank Demon King at close range.

Despite the Lu Family's rising prominence, the majority of its members remained at the Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment stages, possessing limited experience.

Aside from the veteran disciples who had fought in the previous clearing wars, none had ever laid eyes on a Third Rank Demon King before.

Observing the anticipation on the faces of the younger generation, Lu Miaoyun commanded the Nine Netherhound to display the majesty of a Third Rank Demon King, seeking to expand the horizons of the family disciples.

Even so, a mere thread of the demon king’s aura was enough to make the onlookers tremble involuntarily, their hair standing on end from the sheer pressure.

"Is this truly the power of a Third Rank Demon King?"

"It is absolutely terrifying!"

"No wonder people claim the gap between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation is insurmountable! I have no strength to resist based on the aura alone!"

"I feel as though if the Nine Netherhound simply exhaled, I would be killed instantly by the breath."

"Uncle Xingchen, I heard the Nine Netherhound fought the Yellow Sand Stone Ape belonging to True Man Yellow Ape and won the advantage within a few moves. Could you recount the tale for us?"

While the fierce and intimidating form of the Nine Netherhound struck fear into their hearts, the Lu Family disciples also felt a deep sense of honor and pride welling up inside them.

This beast was the guardian spirit of their Lu Family!

Several disciples looked toward Lu Xingchen with expectant eyes, desperate to hear the details of the encounter.

Lu Xingchen, being a man of gentle and modest character, did not brag. He simply stated it was a brief exchange where the Nine Netherhound held a slight advantage.

He added that since such spars did not involve the use of True Fire, there was no reason to make a grand spectacle of the event.

Nevertheless, his humble confirmation filled the Lu Family disciples with immense pride.

"Aunt..."

Later on, Lu Xingchen and Wang Yanjing offered their apologies to Lu Miaoyun. They felt they had not managed the situation discreetly enough, causing a commotion that thrust the family into the public eye.

"It is no matter; you have handled yourselves well."

Lu Miaoyun offered no reprimand.

When she and Lu Miaoge had agreed to let the Nine Netherhound accompany the couple to Five Elements Mountain, they had already anticipated such a result.

In truth, she felt Lu Xingchen had been exceptionally restrained and low-key.

Had it been Lu Wangshu or a more aggressive disciple, they likely would have encouraged the Nine Netherhound to fully unleash the savage might of a Third Rank Demon King.

She recalled her husband mentioning that Little Black, as a beast with a Heavenly-Rank Bloodline, possessed a demon core of the highest quality—one capable of even challenging an Immortal Golden Core!

After finishing her inquiries, Lu Miaoyun dismissed the couple to rest and ordered Lu Xuanyu to escort the Nine Netherhound back to White Tiger Mountain.

White Tiger Mountain, situated near Flower Fruit Mountain and Jinxia Valley, required a high-level presence to guard against any sudden threats.

Even if using a Third Rank Demon King as a sentry seemed somewhat extravagant.

When Lu Xuanyu arrived at White Tiger Mountain with the Nine Netherhound, the local cultivators who had come to investigate the rumors felt a chill in their souls.

The Jin Family of Golden Dragon Ridge felt particularly uneasy.

They lived in fear that the Lu Family might find Bi Lake Mountain and White Tiger Mountain insufficient and decide to let the Nine Netherhound "tour" their own Golden Dragon Ridge.

Given the Lu Family's current power, there was no need for Lu Changsheng or Lu Miaoge to even make an appearance.

The Nine Netherhound alone could likely level Golden Dragon Ridge to the ground.

Even though Lu Changsheng did not dwell on past grudges, Ancestor Jin Zan of the Jin Family was the first to hurry to White Tiger Mountain. He arrived bearing expensive gifts to pay his respects and marvel at the splendor of the Nine Nether King.

Staring at the massive, ferocious Nine Netherhound with its wolf-like head, Jin Zan thought back sixty years to when the Zhao Family Ancestor had invited him to support White Tiger Mountain.

Back then, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge had been there, and so had this very Nine Netherhound.

Sixty years later, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge had both attained Core Formation, and the spirit beast from that time had also evolved into a Third Rank Demon King.

Contemplating this, he felt a sense of bitterness and loss.

Yet, he dared not show any sign of disrespect. After delivering the tribute intended for the Nine Netherhound, he took his leave.

...

While the Nine Netherhound’s fame elevated the reputation of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family to new heights, it also drew unwanted attention.

On this day, a Nascent Soul Immortal from the Spirit Taming Sect arrived to visit. He expressed a desire to see the Lu Family’s guardian beast and to trade knowledge regarding beast taming inheritances.

"My husband is currently engaged in secluded Cultivation within the Great Dream Immortal City, and he cannot return at this time. If the True Man wishes to see the Nine Netherhound, that is permitted; however, regarding the exchange of beast taming insights..."

After pausing to think, Lu Miaoyun continued, "My husband has stated that the Nine Netherhound experienced a bloodline mutation. It later discovered a rare treasure in the Black Cloud Mountain Range that ignited its bloodline potential, allowing it to advance rapidly and reach the Third Rank."

Lu Miaoyun had been surprised by the visit from the Spirit Taming Sect.

However, she had long since prepared a story for such an occasion.

Whether the visitors believed her or not was irrelevant.

Although the Spirit Taming Sect was one of the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country, this territory belonged to the Qingyun Sect; they could not bully the Lu Family here.

Furthermore, in the world of Cultivation, prying into the lucky encounters and inheritances of others was considered a grave taboo.

"Igniting bloodline potential..."

True Man Cang Lang narrowed his eyes, remaining silent.

While the explanation was technically plausible, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Spirit Taming Sect, how could he possibly be convinced by such a simple tale?

If the Lu Family lacked a high-level beast taming legacy, how could they explain the Dao Soldier from years ago?

Nonetheless, because the Lu Family was a Core Formation Noble Family with strong ties to the Qingyun Sect, he simply nodded. "In that case, Madam Lu, please lead the way."

Lu Miaoyun gave a slight nod and summoned Lu Chensha. She instructed him to escort True Man Cang Lang to White Tiger Mountain, suggesting they discuss beast taming techniques along the way.

"Yes, Aunt."

Lu Chensha, who had been in charge of the family's spiritual beast breeding in recent years, nodded in obedience.
