When Lu Miaoyun sent a message to Lu Changsheng, she mentioned that Lu Pingâan would bring the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox to provide support.
However, Lu Pingâan had not used this Third Rank Puppet in previous battles.
"Here I am, Father."
Lu Pingâan quickly retrieved the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox from the Storage Ring.
"Su Rongrong."
Lu Changsheng gestured toward the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, then drew out a set of needle-shaped Magical Treasures from his Storage Ring. He formed a Gesture Incantation with his hands, inserting them into the acupoints on Yingâerâs head, and continued to use the Taiyi Divine Soul to perform the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique.
Itâs not that he couldnât Soul Search the other party.
But to Soul Search without alerting or disturbing the opponentâs Sea of Consciousnessâs prohibition, it was still somewhat challenging.
"My name is Yingâer, from... Beast God Sect... serving as a trusted aide to the Nether Moon Saintess..."
Although Yingâerâs face was as pale as paper and filled with a look of struggle, under the methods of Lu Changsheng and the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, she slowly revealed her background.
"Trusted aide to the Nether Moon Saintess?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt as if a current ran through his mind, recalling something his son Lu Qingshan had told him years ago.
Little Black resembles the Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf, the Spiritual Pet of the Nether Moon Saintess from Beast God Mountain.
"What is your purpose for coming to White Tiger Mountain this time?"
With a radiant Soul between his brows, Lu Changsheng continued to inquire.
However, this question touched on Yingâerâs own Sea of Consciousness Soul secrets, causing her to vomit blood and unable to disclose.
"This woman being the trusted aide of the Nether Moon Saintess probably means she was ordered by the Nether Moon Saintess to come here, which is why she canât divulge related information."
Lu Changsheng pondered to himself, rephrasing his question: "Why did you attack Jiuyou?"
"This Demon Beast is a Nether Moon Wolf with a bloodline ancestor mutation, useful for the Holy Maiden..."
Yinger said in a hollow, soulless voice.
"How did you learn of Jiuyouâs existence?"
Lu Changsheng asked, baffled.
Even though the Nine Netherhound had reached the Third Rank and made an appearance at Five Elements Mountain,
Jiang Country and Liang Country are far apart. In recent years, Liang Country has been at war with Yue Country, leaving them little interest in concerning themselves with a Third Rank Demon Beast in their own land.
Even if they heard of a Demon Beast resembling a certain bloodline, they wouldnât send a Nascent Soul Level trusted aide to verify and capture it.
After all, the situation between the two countries is tense.
A Nascent Soul Cultivator from Liang Country crossing Yue Country and sneaking into Jiang Country is extremely dangerous and could easily be fatal.
Sending a Nascent Soul trusted aide on a perilous journey for an uncertain Demon Beast was clearly not worth it.
"The Holy Maiden... ordered..."
Yingâerâs face, pale as paper, was full of struggle and distortion, and she vomited blood again.
It was exceedingly difficult to coax any words related to the so-called Holy Maiden from her once the matter involved her.
"How did the Nether Moon Saintess know about Jiuyouâs situation?"
"Does she take such an interest in all Demon Beasts related to the Nether Moon Wolf, or did Little Blackâs rapid advancement to the Third Rank catch her attention?"
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes as he pondered silently.
"Beast God Mountain, youâve troubled me time and again, and now youâve harmed my Spiritual Pet. This debt must be settled!"
After a momentâs contemplation, looking at Yingâer before him, Lu Changshengâs calm, indifferent eyes carried a hint of coldness as he gazed toward Liang Country.
Years ago, his daughter Lu Wangshu had a close call with the Black Crow True Immortal of Beast God Mountain.
This time, in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, he was besieged by the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Ming Sha True Monarch, and found himself in dire straits.
Now, the Nether Moon Saintess of Beast God Mountain has dispatched a trusted aide to seize and capture his Spiritual Pet, injuring Little Black. How could he not seek revenge for such a grievance!
"Could we use this woman, the trusted aide of the Nether Moon Saintess, to lure out the Nether Moon Saintess, and then through the Nether Moon Saintess, lure out the Heavenly Silkworm, or even the Great Elder of Beast God Mountain, the Nine Spirits True Monarch..."
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
With his current methods, as long as he set an ambush in advance, even a Nascent Soul True Lord would find it difficult.
If he could find a way to eliminate the Great Elder of Beast God Mountain, Nine Spirits True Monarch, the entire Beast God Mountain would essentially become a name without substance.
"The urgent matter is still to breakthrough to Fourth Rank Body Refining!"
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, exhaling slowly, temporarily setting this idea aside.
He decided to first break through to Fourth Rank Body Refining and address matters around him before considering further.
He wiped the Mana imprint from the Spirit Ring in his hand, tossed it forward, letting it rest on Yingâerâs slender neck, then said to Lu Pingâan, "Pingâan, stay here at White Tiger Mountain for the time being;
Iâll head back first."
"Father, donât worry. Iâm here." .
Lu Pingâan had no objections at all.
...
"These Spirit Lands of White Tiger Mountain still require multiple layers of preparation."
As he walked out of White Tiger Mountain, Lu Changsheng pondered to himself.
He had originally planned to station his son Lu Pingâan at the Great Dream Immortal City.
However, the matter with the Nine Netherhound served as a reminder.
Their family was now gradually coming into contact with potential Nascent Soul level and even Nascent Soul level powers.
Bi Lake Mountain and Great Dream Immortal City had no fear.
But White Tiger Mountain, Flower Fruit Mountain, and Heming Mountain might become points of vulnerability.
"It might be worth considering setting up a short-range Teleportation Array..."
Years ago, Ling Zixiao had studied and observed the Michen Banner, gaining some insights into short-range Teleportation Arrays.
However, such Teleportation Arrays werenât significant, consuming a lot of resources, so they had never been set up.
The current harvest, along with potential risks, prompted Lu Changsheng to consider setting up a few short-range Teleportation Arrays.
This way, if places like White Tiger Mountain or Flower Fruit Mountain encountered danger, Bi Lake Mountain could provide immediate support.
And if issues arose at Green Carp Island or Red Carp Island, Great Dream Immortal City could also respond promptly.
