Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1904: 494: Farewell, Ayoudo!

"Screech!"

Right then, inside Ji Shaoyi's Sea of Consciousness, a Golden Crow Divine Bird let out a sharp cry, snapping him partially awake and making him sense that danger lurked nearby.

Though the Divine Skills from the Immortal Lotus Sect remain elusive and profound, no way could they shake his Soul Consciousness so quickly.

His foe had intentionally muddled his Mental Spirit via his junior sister, pulling him further into the trap.

"Burning Heaven! Burning Sun! Burn the Self!"

Ji Shaoyi bellowed without delay, triggering a hidden method that transformed him into a blazing sun ascending, aiming to set his own form ablaze.

This stood as the ultimate secret art of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, one that sets the user aflame to release unmatched might.

Mastering it fully might even flip a dire peril into a chance for renewal!

"How vigilant indeed."

Yet Nangong Yaoyao was ready ahead, unleashing a Third Rank Middle Grade Talisman.

Meanwhile, those who had earlier surrounded the red-haired woman advanced, arranging into an array and unleashing divine skills to encircle and restrain Ji Shaoyi.

"The mortal world acts as a jail, all creatures suffer endlessly, cycles of rebirth drag on forever, sorrows refuse to fade, have mercy on the masses, Immortal Lotus arrives from the skies, liberating them from endless torment, granting eternal joy, Lotus Holy Mother, guide us back to the pure realm..."

Across the realm, petals drifted down while celestial tunes like sacred chants echoed without stop.

Softly shining pink-white petals kept floating steadily into Ji Shaoyi's frame.

"Damn it."

Ji Shaoyi clenched his teeth hard, aware that his every divine skill and tactic had been fully exposed to the enemy.

He pushed the Golden Crow Transformation Technique to its limits, his figure engulfed in brilliant golden flames that fused into a massive sun, whipping up a savage tempest to tear open the void.

Yet right now, his junior sister, her face drained white like snow, stood in his path, deploying a hidden treasure to disrupt his divine skills.

"Ah!!!"

Ji Shaoyi's eyes almost popped out in rage, his roar filled with bitter frustration.

In any direct clash, no one ahead could match him.

Even against a pair of foes, he could escape unscathed.

But Nangong Yaoyao's tactics proved utterly exasperating.

Beneath the assault from multiple assailants, he fought on desperately, the golden flames on his body slowly fading, his form drenched in blood, flesh ripped open, his Mental Spirit growing heavier, eyelids drooping.

Nangong Yaoyao, graceful like an immortal maiden, kept weaving spells nonstop, striving to reshape Ji Shaoyi right before her eyes.

While the Immortal Lotus Pure Land of the Immortal Lotus Sect carries a fearsome reputation, reshaping another isn't straightforward.

More precisely, fully converting a peer-level cultivator demands great effort and can't happen swiftly.

Were it not for the pressing sect trials ahead, she wouldn't have braved such peril to devise this plot against Ji Shaoyi.

Because soon, not only could she no longer deploy the Immortal Lotus Pure Land, but she also had to secure Ji Shaoyi's full conversion, and she'd end up on the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect's kill-on-sight roster.

Plus, back at the sect, her two senior sisters would eye her with suspicion.

...

"Ping’an..."

Once back at Bi Lake Mountain alongside Nangong Mili and Lu Wangshu, Lu Changsheng handed over portions of the Void Kun's meat and bones to Lu Ping’an.

He instructed the youth to base several batches of healing baths for the Lu Family disciples on the Void Kun's blood essence.

The blood essence could serve his personal cultivation too.

"Yes, father."

Lu Ping’an nodded agreeably.

"Oh, and I intend to host your Core Formation ceremony here at home soon—what's your view on that?"

Lu Changsheng pressed on.

Earlier, worried about the family's too-bright spotlight, he'd thought to postpone his son's Core Formation festivity.

Yet the stir from Great Dream Immortal City had boosted his Deputy City Lord role so much that even Qingyun Sect's stance toward him shifted.

Under these circumstances, Lu Changsheng saw no point in concealing Lu Ping’an’s Core Formation anymore.

Since Lu Ping’an had lingered at home for ages, he'd inevitably interact with outsiders and manage clan affairs, so better to handle it out in the open.

Besides, after years apart from Qin Yi, with her return now, post-ceremony, a visit to Heavenly Sword Sect would seal the wedding.

Still, the son of Changsheng True Master seeking a Heavenly Sword Sect true disciple might face some hurdles.

But a century-old Core Formation genius from the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family ought to earn a warm reception there.

"Ah... I’m fine with whatever."

Lu Ping’an paid little mind to such empty accolades.

"Then I'll get your Aunt Miaoyun started on preparations early; by my return, it should all be set for the event. Afterward, you'll travel to Heavenly Sword Sect to see Xiao Qin and her master."

Lu Changsheng voiced his thoughts, feeling the weight of his concerns piling up.

Not just juggling his wives' issues, but fretting over his kids' unions too.

Right then, he abruptly thought Lu Yun and Lu Qingsong seemed far easier to deal with.

"Uh..."

Lu Ping’an had meant to head to Heavenly Sword Sect before, only held back by clan duties.

He hadn't expected his father to push him straight toward meeting Qin Yi’s master.

This caught him unprepared.

"Never mind, your Aunt Miaoge and Wangshu will head to Jiuxiao Immortal City shortly; join them on the way, and I'll ask Aunt Miaoge to escort you in visiting Heavenly Sword Sect."

Lu Changsheng eyed his wavering son, shook his head, and stated plainly.

Regarding Bi Lake Mountain.

With Ling Zixiao now at Core Formation, bolstered by the Nine Netherhound, Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, and Third Rank Puppets from Vast Sand Illusion Realm, only a Nascent Soul True Lord could threaten it—no reason for Lu Ping’an to remain on watch.

"Fine, that's how it'll go."

Noticing Lu Ping’an about to speak more, Lu Changsheng just dismissed it with a wave.

"Oh, and take Xiao He and Little Qi along for some fresh air."

Lu Changsheng held deep affection for his daughters.

Lacking time to bring them out personally, he'd rely on Lu Ping’an instead.
