Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1825: 468: Azure Phoenix True Monarch, End of the Secret Realm!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

Even though the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng had been hindered by the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, its flight speed remained terrifying as it burned its life force to escape. This forced the trailing Ming Sha True Monarch, Yun Mei True Monarch, and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch to ignite their own essence blood origin in pursuit.

Among the three pursuers, only Yun Mei True Monarch possessed cultivation techniques and magical treasures fast enough to keep up; the other two had no choice but to burn their essence blood and Nascent Soul origin simply to maintain the chase against the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

"Golden Peng, how much longer can you hold out?"

Lu Changsheng’s divine sense merged with the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror. Seeing the three enemies relentlessly chasing him by depleting their Nascent Soul origin, he questioned the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

If the Golden Peng could endure further, he was prepared to let them exhaust themselves even more before launching a decisive strike to eliminate the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch first.

"About an hour,"

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng replied, signaling that it could not sustain this frantic pace for much longer.

"That’s enough!"

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng instructed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng not to push itself to the point of collapse.

Half an hour passed!

Then an hour!

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s escape speed was visibly faltering, and its feathers, which had once shone like a brilliant golden sun, began to lose their luster.

"Golden Peng, that is sufficient."

With a cold and murderous glint in his eyes, Lu Changsheng looked back at their pursuers. He signaled the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to dive toward a mountain peak below, readying himself to strike.

Right then, a sharp and melodic cry resonated through the heavens.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror vibrated intensely. A Wu signaled that two powerful Nascent Soul-level mana signatures were approaching rapidly, their speed far exceeding that of Ming Sha’s group.

Even without A Wu’s explanation, Lu Changsheng saw a streak of green rainbow light soaring from the distance. It moved with incredible velocity, whipping up a massive Azure Darkness Hurricane in its wake.

"Is that... the Qing Luan belonging to Azure Phoenix True Monarch!?"

Lu Changsheng felt a familiar yet strange Qi signature from the green light. His heart skipped a beat; he hadn't anticipated meeting Azure Phoenix True Monarch in this location.

He assumed she would have already headed to the heart of the secret realm to compete for the primary treasures.

"Azure Phoenix True Monarch!?"

"Why has Azure Phoenix True Monarch appeared here!?"

"Yangming True Master must have called for her aid. We need to leave!"

In contrast to Lu Changsheng, Ming Sha True Monarch, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, and Tan Mei True Monarch were struck by a wave of alarm and dread at the sight of the green light.

It was common knowledge that Yangming True Master and Azure Phoenix True Monarch shared a close bond.

They had previously feared that Yangming True Master might find backup or team up with Azure Phoenix True Monarch, which was why they had tried to end the battle quickly.

To their dismay, after a long pursuit that had drained their strength, Azure Phoenix True Monarch had suddenly arrived.

"Retreat!"

Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch made an immediate choice to stop chasing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator from Beast God Mountain, he was highly attuned to the presence of spiritual beasts and knew that Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s fourth-rank Simurgh was a formidable opponent.

Furthermore, in his currently weakened state, his sharpened spiritual sense could feel a looming threat coming from Azure Phoenix True Monarch.

With her arrival, they could no longer pursue Yangming True Master with any certainty of success, regardless of whether it was an ambush. It was wiser to withdraw immediately, recover their strength, and focus on the other treasures within the secret realm.

Otherwise, facing Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s martial prowess combined with Yangming True Master’s supreme treasure while they were exhausted would likely end in their defeat!

Without needing further prompting from Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, Tan Mei True Monarch made his move to flee.

"Damn it!"

Watching them flee, Ming Sha True Monarch felt a surge of rage and bitterness, but he was powerless.

If Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Tan Mei True Monarch abandoned the fight, staying behind alone would be a death sentence.

"???"

Observing through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Changsheng was stunned by how quickly Ming Sha True Monarch and the others fled.

He hadn't expected them to be so decisive in their retreat.

The mere presence of Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s aura was enough to make them give up instantly.

On second thought, it was logical. The trio had already wasted a vast amount of energy. If they stayed to fight both him and Azure Phoenix True Monarch, they wouldn't just lose their advantage—they might lose their lives.

"Yangming Daoist?"

A clear, resonant female voice with a captivating charm reached Lu Changsheng’s ears.

The green light landed nearby, revealing a Qing Luan. Its body was like polished jade, shimmering with platinum light, looking both elegant and majestic.

Standing atop the Luan bird was a tall, graceful woman in a magnificent jade robe. Her features were sharp and noble, with eyes that sparkled like stars.

Facing Azure Phoenix True Monarch, Lu Changsheng bowed with cupped hands. "I am grateful for your help, Daoist Azure Phoenix."

Although he wasn't sure why she was there, it was clear from how she had openly projected her mana signature that she intended to assist him.

"You are too polite, Daoist. Little Qing detected the Golden Peng’s Qi, so I came to investigate. What has happened here?"

Azure Phoenix True Monarch looked surprised to see Lu Changsheng being hunted by three Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, Ming Sha, Tan Mei, and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch were all powerful figures.

Yet, these three had gone so far as to burn their essence blood origin just to hunt down a Core Formation cultivator like Lu Changsheng.

"I have an old feud with Ming Sha True Monarch, and we crossed paths in this secret realm. I didn't expect him to recruit Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch from Beast God Mountain and Tan Mei True Monarch from the Barebody Sect to help him."

"Furthermore, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch used a specific technique to track me and suppress the Golden Peng. I was planning to lure them in and use a hidden treasure for a final, desperate stand, but then I encountered you, Daoist Azure Phoenix."

Lu Changsheng let out a heavy breath, speaking with a touch of relief.

With the Sun and Moon Mysterious Light Mirror and the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill, he had been prepared to fight the three of them to the bitter end.

However, the potential fallout of such a battle was something he couldn't have easily managed.

"A desperate stand with a secret treasure..."

Azure Phoenix True Monarch looked at Lu Changsheng. His face was flushed and his Qi was slightly unstable, leaving her feeling a combination of shock and curiosity.
