Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1749: 444: Lu Qingshan: Slaying a Tier 3 Demon King as a Gift to the Clan!

"Mother, please don’t worry. Slaying a mere Third Rank demon beast poses no threat to me."

Lu Qingshan gave a hearty laugh as he passed through the mountain gate. Noticing Lu Miaoyun in the distance, he cupped his hands in greeting, "Aunt."

"Qingshan, you’ve returned! Are you injured at all?"

Lu Miaoyun observed the young man, noting his sharp, sword-like eyebrows and radiant eyes that gave him a truly imposing presence. Her voice was filled with concern and a touch of deep emotion as she spoke.

The boy who was once the family’s most troublesome troublemaker had matured into a powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator without her even realizing it.

Beholding Lu Qingshan, her thoughts drifted toward Lu Quanzhen, the son of Qu Zhenzhen.

He had achieved Core Formation long ago. Meanwhile, Lu Qingxuan, the son of her cousin Lu Miaoge, showed great potential for reaching Core Formation in the future. Ling Zixiao’s son, Lu Lingxiao, possessed such extraordinary talent that his potential rivaled Lu Qingshan’s, making his advancement to Core Formation a certainty. Even Xia Zhizue had raised six children with Spiritual Roots who had all reached Foundation Establishment. With the addition of the brilliant grandson Lu Xuanqian, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Among all the official Dao Companions of the Lu Family, she was the only one who had not yet birthed a child of exceptional talent.

"Aunt, rest easy, I am perfectly fine," Lu Qingshan replied with a grin. He then shifted his gaze toward the True Man of the Azure Wolf standing nearby and asked, "And who might this be?"

"This is the True Man of the Azure Wolf from the Spirit Taming Sect. Having heard that our Nine Netherhound reached the Third Rank, he came to witness the event personally," Lu Miaoyun explained with a gentle, warm smile.

"Nine Netherhound?"

For a moment, Lu Qingshan looked puzzled, failing to make the connection immediately.

"It’s Little Black," Lu Miaohuan quickly clarified.

Upon hearing the name "Little Black," the face of the True Man of the Azure Wolf twitched. He found it difficult to reconcile such a trivial name with a formidable Third Rank Demon King.

To a Beast Taming Cultivator like himself, such a name felt like a direct insult to the creature's status.

"Oh? So Little Black has actually reached the Third Rank?"

Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow, his expression one of genuine surprise and wonder.

Reflecting on his father’s methods and circumstances, he realized that nurturing a Third Rank Demon King was actually quite logical. He then turned to his mother, Lu Miaohuan, to ask about his siblings, Lu Qingzhu, Lu Qingqi, and Lu Qingsong.

"Little Bamboo and Little Qi are likely at the Red Leaf Valley Market, while Qingsong is currently at the Great Dream Marsh..." Lu Miaohuan answered her son, completely disregarding the True Man of the Azure Wolf standing beside them.

"By the way, Mother, is Father away from home again?" Lu Qingshan inquired further.

"You certainly understand your father well," Lu Miaohuan snorted with a hint of irritation. She felt that while his absences were manageable in the past, he now spent far too much time away from the estate.

"I figured as much."

Lu Qingshan felt a wave of frustration; it was disappointing to return home only to find his father absent.

At that point, Lu Miaoyun intervened, mentioning that the True Man of the Azure Wolf was preparing to visit White Tiger Mountain to see Little Black. She suggested that Lu Qingshan accompany him, noting that Lu Qingzhu and Lu Qingqi might be there as well.

Although Lu Qingshan lacked a deep bond with the Nine Netherhound and wasn't particularly interested in the beast, he caught the hidden meaning in Lu Miaoyun’s suggestion. Smiling, he said, "It has been quite some time since I last saw Little Black. I shall go take a look."

Without delay, Lu Qingshan deposited the Flame Lion at Bi Lake Mountain and took to the sky toward White Tiger Mountain, accompanied by Lu Chensha and the True Man of the Azure Wolf.

Meanwhile, many disciples of the Lu Family had rushed over upon hearing the news to gaze at the frozen remains of the Flame Lion.

It was unexpected for them to see a living Third Rank Demon King so recently, only to be confronted by a dead one shortly after.

"He actually slew a Third Rank Demon King!"

"I’ve heard that beasts reaching the Third Rank awaken powerful innate divine abilities. Their prowess in battle is no less than that of Nascent Soul Cultivators, and their physical durability makes them incredibly hard to kill."

"It's true. Unless one is a top-tier genius, killing a cultivator or demon beast of the same rank is as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"

"Uncle Qingshan is not even a century old and only recently reached Core Formation, yet he can strike down a Third Rank Demon King!"

"Is this the power of an invincible sword cultivator of the same rank..."

The Lu Family disciples stared at the frozen Flame Lion, their voices filled with awe and profound respect for Lu Qingshan.

Wang Yanjing and her son, Lu Xuanqian, also arrived to witness the sight. Filled with shock and envy, she warned Lu Xuanqian against arrogance, telling him he must strive to emulate his uncles.

By now, the outside world was beginning to realize that the strength of the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family was far greater than it appeared on the surface.

As a daughter-in-law of the house, she had realized this truth long ago.
