Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1921: 500: Netherworld Map, Gu God Bowl!

Once the wedding details were settled, Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, and the rest remained at the Heavenly Sword Sect for a full week before departing back to Bi Lake Mountain.
Lu Miaoge further directed Lu Wangshu to craft a batch of invitation letters and deliver them to the Shendao Shangguan Family along with several clans governed by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Qin Yi, however, chose not to journey back to Bi Lake Mountain alongside Lu Ping’an and the group; instead, she planned to arrive later with Flying Snow True Man.
This setup came from the Heavenly Sword Sect itself, designed to honor the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and Lu Ping’an sufficiently.
In typical scenarios, a sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect wouldn’t invest resources into a ceremony of this scale.
Not long afterward, word spread about why Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, and their companions had visited Jiuxiao Immortal City.
Their aim was to head to the Heavenly Sword Sect and seek a marriage alliance!
On this visit, Miao Ge True Man aimed to arrange a union for the Lu Family’s firstborn son, Lu Ping’an, with a female disciple from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
While certain factions got the invitations and grasped the truth—that the bride hailed from Flying Snow True Man’s lineage in the Heavenly Sword Sect—plenty of folks remained in the dark, fueling rampant gossip.
This sparked wild tales, with some even whispering that Miao Ge True Man had shown up in Jiuxiao Immortal City to claim a new concubine.Indeed, across the years, chatter persisted about the Lu Ancestor’s fondness for gathering wives and concubines to sire offspring.
Particularly since advancing to Core Formation, his reputation had echoed across the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, reaching wider audiences, and numerous cultivators now viewed the existence of Changsheng True Master as an ideal to emulate.
...
Yue Country.
Before anyone realized, the Liangyue War had raged on for over two years already.
Even though the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s dharma body fell at Beast God Mountain in Liang Country, and Yun Mei Monarch from the Barebody Sect suffered grave wounds, slashing Liang Country’s elite fighting strength sharply.
Yet Nascent Soul True Lords rarely intervened directly, and with Liang Country guarding a Fourth Rank Beast King, Yue Country struggled to reclaim those final strongholds.
In response to this stalemate, Yue Country’s Nascent Soul True Lords suggested dispatching select Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul experts from each side for one-on-one battles to settle the outcome.
Yue Country triumphed in the Foundation Establishment clashes, but at the Core Formation tier, they now lagged behind.
"Roar!!!"
Right then, amid the frontier battlefield of Yue Country, a thunderous howl reminiscent of a celestial wolf from the Nine Nether Purgatory resounded across the skies and lands.
A massive Heavenly Wolf, cloaked in dark purple fur and built like a fortress, unleashed its cry, its pelt rippling with an enigmatic, profound sheen that flowed like liquid shadows.
The menacing wolf’s skull featured a crescent emblem on its forehead, akin to a staring eye, radiating a mesmerizing glow.
From its savage jaws, packed with razor-sharp teeth locked in rows, it crunched fiercely on a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, emitting eerie ’crackling’ noises as though intent on shattering the artifact entirely.
"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"
At the same moment, high overhead, a figure wrapped in violet glow, clad in a revealing chest-band outfit, plunged from above to strike at the treasure’s wielder.
This warrior woman stood imposingly tall, her dense light-purple locks streaming like a banner at her back, evoking an invincible war goddess, fierce and commanding.
Despite her aura brimming with lethal intent, the regal poise of her form hugged by the purple band, her supple arms resembling polished jade roots, silky and delicate, her untamed but elegant slim midriff, and her elongated, flawlessly pale legs, softened much of that deadly vibe.
It even sparked the notion that perishing under such a stunning beauty’s assault might carry no sorrow.
The Nether Moon Saintess, surging with unstoppable force, blasted through successive air barriers; her fair, mighty hands gripped a Finger Tiger-like relic, launching a dazzling purple-infused strike that hurled the treasure’s master airborne, coughing up fresh blood.
Right away, her balanced, vigorously extended and exquisite legs pushed off the emptiness, stirring waves, propelling her body sideways in a swift arc, her limbs scissoring to block the fleeing cultivator’s path.
Regardless of how captivating those lithe jade limbs and feet appeared, the sheer might that could rend space compelled the treasure’s bearer to trigger a Life-saving Talisman.
"Long live Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"
The Beast God Mountain folks from Liang Country witnessed this and erupted in thrilled cheers, their gazes inescapably fixed on the Holy Maiden’s matchless physique and those endless legs.
In that instant, the Nether Moon Saintess glowed amid purple haze, her seductive, curving outline exuding irresistible charm laced with an elusive, sacred allure.
The Yue Country cultivators, beholding this display, showed faces etched with dread.
"This Nether Moon Saintess truly wields exceptional battle might. Paired with Beast God Mountain’s Flood Dragon Saint Son, piercing their lines soon looks out of reach."
From Yue Country’s ramparts, Lu Qingshan observed the fray in the distance, his features grave.
His own fighting skills shone brightly, unbeatable among peers, yet having recently entered Core Formation, he lacked the power to sway the broader conflict.
For these Core Formation skirmishes, he wasn’t even eligible to join.
"Retreat!"
Yue Country’s Purple Light True Lord issued the command coolly.
This conflict revealed why Liang Country had boldly ignited hostilities without cause.
Without Jin Kingdom’s meddling in Jiang Country backfiring, costing them the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, and the unforeseen chaos in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, Yue Country could have forfeited vast swaths of land by now.
...
Beneath the adoring, reverent, captivated, and zealous stares of myriad cultivators, the Nether Moon Saintess withdrew to her encampment.
She slumped casually into a chair draped in tiger pelt, her skirted legs elevated and crossed, then glanced routinely at her attendant and asked, "Xiao Zi, any word on Ying’er?"
The servant named Xiao Zi bowed promptly and answered, "To Her Highness the Holy Maiden, we have no updates on Lord Ying’er as of yet."
"Still nothing on Ying’er?"
The Nether Moon Saintess knitted her brows.
Four years had passed since she dispatched Ying’er toward Jiang Country.
