Chapter 763: Just Escaped the Tiger’s Den, Only to Enter the Wolf’s Lair!

“Ah Wu!”

Lu Changsheng acted decisively. His fourth-rank physique and Chaos Body roared to life as he launched five high-grade Spirit Stones, signaling Ah Wu to blast open the void and escape into the Great Void.

Although he hadn’t broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and fully mastered the power of the void, making it impossible to traverse the Great Void directly,

with his fourth-rank body refinement and the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror, breaking through this space would allow him to use the Misty Dust Banner to escape the Divine Maiden Palace and Penglai Island’s vicinity.

Buzzing—!!!

As Lu Changsheng’s magical energy and the high-grade Spirit Stones burned, the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror hummed intensely, its radiant surface blazing like a rising sun, illuminating the restaurant.

Not good!

Shen Jianjia, who was waiting outside but monitoring the restaurant with her divine sense, instantly realized Lu Changsheng was trying to escape.

Surprise flickered in her heart. He had been poisoned by [Tears of the Fairy], yet he had regained consciousness in just two days.

She knew that [Tears of the Fairy] required at least three days and nights of Dual Cultivation between a man and woman to even begin to detoxify and maintain consciousness, and nearly seven days and nights for a complete detoxification.

But in the current situation, she had no time to dwell on it. The Starry Treasure Mirror beside her blazed with divine light, and the entire White Dew Palace seemed to vanish, transforming into a pitch-black night.

Immediately after, stars as brilliant as diamonds emerged, constantly expanding and sealing off the heavens and earth.

Nascent Soul Domain!

Lu Changsheng instantly recognized it as a technique only Nascent Soul True Lords could master—shattering the vacuum and condensing their law domain into a domain.

A Nascent Soul Domain could not only transform into a portable small space but could also be used in combat, isolating heaven and earth, and imprisoning others.

Although Lu Changsheng had encountered many Nascent Soul cultivators, he had never witnessed such a Nascent Soul Domain before.

Silently and without warning, it shifted the heavens and replaced the sun, locking him within the domain.

Is this the power of a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator?

Lu Changsheng was shocked. He felt the starlight falling upon him, causing his Blood Energy and magical energy to stagnate.

Even with his Chaos Body and fourth-rank body refinement, his bones trembled, bearing immense pressure.

And in this process, even his disguise, maintained by his fourth-rank body refinement, was becoming difficult to sustain.

Great Palace Master, I have already helped Second Palace Master and Third Palace Master detoxify. Are you truly going to push this to the extreme?

If so, I will not hesitate to fight the Divine Maiden Palace to the bitter end! Even if I can’t win, what Second Palace Master did today will likely become known to the world! And the current state of the two Palace Masters… I believe I don’t need to say more, right?

Lu Changsheng tightly embraced Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren, using them as hostages.

With the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror’s power, it was enough to blast open Shen Jianjia’s Nascent Soul Domain.

But this Great Palace Master’s strength was unfathomable. Lu Changsheng was no match for her.

Therefore, even though he had suffered a great loss, Lu Changsheng chose to endure and bide his time.

Otherwise, if he truly made a scene and completely offended the Divine Maiden Palace, he feared he would face endless pursuit from the Divine Maiden Palace, Penglai Island, and Shen Jianjia before him.

And he had previously offended the Six Paths Palace and was being coveted by the Six Paths Demon Concubine.

If things continued like this, he feared the entire Starry Sea would have nowhere for him to stand.

The main reason was that he could only suppress the remaining poison of [Tears of the Fairy] with his fourth-rank body refinement, making him unsuitable for prolonged battles.

If Shen Jianjia didn’t let him go, whether he could escape her pursuit with the Misty Dust Banner was another matter.

Once he failed to escape and the effects of [Tears of the Fairy] erupted again, he would be in mortal danger.

Lu Changsheng dared not gamble! Nor was he willing to!

He had an infinite future ahead of him! A step back for a broader horizon! “Boom boom boom—”

Rivers of stars flowed, and countless stars shone, erupting with brilliant light, constantly expanding and forming an unparalleled oppressive force.

Through these trembling stars, one could perceive the Divine Maiden Great Palace Master’s anger.

As the master of the Divine Maiden Palace and a top cultivator in the Starry Sea, when had she ever been so humiliated?

Although the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror displayed astonishing power, she had absolute confidence in herself.

It was just that both her younger sisters were now in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

With his fourth-rank body refinement, even she was not absolutely certain she could save her sisters the instant he acted.

Her sister Shen Baishuang was fine, possessing a Nascent Soul Spirit Body, but her sister Shen Yiren was only a Core Formation cultivator.

Moreover, she didn’t want to make this matter known to everyone.

From the moment she started acting until now, when she had deployed her Nascent Soul Domain, she had been trying to restrain herself.

To prevent the commotion in White Dew Palace from escalating and being noticed by others.

“I promise, release Little Shuang and Little Mei, and you may leave now.”

Shen Jianjia’s plum blossom mark between her brows bloomed with mystical light as she gazed at Lu Changsheng’s handsome and refined face, then said indifferently.

“Great Palace Master, if you stop now, I will naturally leave.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes were bloodshot, and the pink peach blossom mark between his brows faintly appeared as he said, his breathing rapid and heavy.

After all, to contend with this Great Palace Master, he would find it difficult to fully suppress the [Tears of the Fairy] poison within him.

Even in this brief exchange, he had truly witnessed the strength of this Divine Maiden Great Palace Master.

She was a level above both Qingluan Zhenren and True Lord Xuanjian! Even if he used all his means and exerted his full strength, he might not be a match for her.

It could only be said that upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the gap between the early and mid-stages, and even between each minor realm, became increasingly vast.

Although his cultivation and magical energy were infinitely close to Nascent Soul, and he possessed a fourth-rank physique, it was still not enough to face a Nascent Soul cultivator like Shen Jianjia. He had to break through to Nascent Soul to contend with her!

Rumble rumble rumble!

The stars dimmed, and the night vanished.

Lu Changsheng reappeared in the chaotic and licentious atmosphere of the White Dew Palace restaurant, the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror hovering above his head.

Not far away, Shen Jianjia was shrouded in a hazy starlight, her face indistinct. Though clearly before him, she seemed not to belong to this world, as if she might ascend to immortality at any moment, incomparably beautiful.

Without another word, the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror erupted with a blazing mystic light, directly tearing open the void before him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Within the pitch-black spatial rift, turbulent currents surged instantly.

Seemingly worried that the turbulent currents would harm her sisters, Shen Jianjia’s faint Nascent Soul aura dissipated the turbulence around them.

“Go!”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, summoning his robe to wrap around himself, and then the Misty Dust Banner, radiating five-colored spiritual light, appeared.

Hum!

The palm-sized Misty Dust Banner instantly transformed into a cloud of colorful mist, enveloping Lu Changsheng, Shen Baishuang, and Shen Yiren, and swept them into the void together.

“Thief!”

Shen Jianjia, seeing this, her beautiful eyes flashed with shock and anger, and her body blazed with starlight, overwhelming the heavens and earth as she rushed into the Great Void.

“I, this seat, have always kept my word!”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly turned back and tossed Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren towards Shen Jianjia.

If he had handed over the two women in White Dew Palace earlier, Shen Jianjia could have pursued him even if she went back on her word.

But now that they were in the Great Void, she had to protect her two sisters and had no time to fully pursue him.

“Yiren, although today’s events were initiated by your Second Sister Shen Baishuang, there’s a saying: ‘One day as husband and wife, a hundred days of grace.’ Since we’ve had the reality of husband and wife, I will take responsibility for you. When I break through to Nascent Soul, I will return to the Divine Maiden Palace to marry you!”

Lu Changsheng shouted to Shen Yiren again.

Lu Ancestor, who had cultivated for over a hundred years, had never been so disheveled.

But now, he was no match for the Divine Maiden Palace or Shen Jianjia.

Therefore, he had to show his attitude and appease Shen Jianjia to prevent her from pursuing and killing him further.

Especially since just now, his disguise was very likely seen through by Shen Jianjia.

If she knew his identity and origin, it might bring danger and trouble to Lu Family of Bihu Mountain and Immortal City of Damengze.

And his words at least showed his attitude of not wanting to antagonize the Divine Maiden Palace.

Moreover, Shen Yiren now had a slight awareness.

With her personality, knowing his attitude, she would definitely persuade her sister Shen Jianjia that the fault was not his, and to stop taking action against him! As his voice faded, the Misty Dust Banner swept Lu Changsheng away, disappearing into the turbulent currents of the void.

Lu Changsheng did not return to Immortal City of Damengze or Lu Family of Bihu Mountain.

…

Previous calculations indicated that returning now might bring misfortune back with him.

So he planned to find a place to settle down first and dispel the remaining poison of [Tears of the Fairy] from his body.

“Hmph!”

Shen Jianjia, holding her two younger sisters, watched Lu Changsheng flee and coldly harrumphed with an indifferent expression.

The hazy starlight around her seemed to drape two luxurious starlight dresses over the two women, dispelling all the dirt and filth from their bodies.

If not for the fact that the two women’s jade faces were flushed and radiant, filled with seductive allure, they would have been like immaculate fairies descended from the heavens.

Even so, the three sisters standing together were celestial and peerless, like a breathtaking painting crafted by nature itself, adding a touch of color to this endless, dark, and turbulent world.

“Sigh.”

Looking at her two sisters in her arms, their beautiful eyes filled with confusion, Shen Jianjia sighed softly.

Although she was filled with killing intent towards Lu Changsheng and wanted to silence him permanently,

his open demeanor, character, and sense of responsibility had also earned her approval.

If not for this incident, she would even have been willing to marry her sister Shen Yiren to him.

But after such a scandal, it was truly difficult for her to pretend nothing had happened.

“However, this person crossed the Sea of Mist to come to my Divine Maiden Palace. What exactly was his purpose? Was it really just to rent a fourth-rank spirit land?”

Shen Jianjia couldn’t help but ponder in her heart.

Just now, when she made her move, she had seen through Lu Changsheng’s disguise.

She was surprised and hadn’t expected this person to be the mysterious figure who had tampered with her adopted daughter Shen Wanzhao years ago.

She acknowledged Lu Changsheng’s character and responsibility, not only because of his promise to Shen Yiren, his lack of Yin-Yang harvesting and plundering of her sisters’ Yin essence during the process, but also because of his actions towards her daughter Shen Wanzhao back then.

From these actions, it could be seen that he was not a villain. If not for this incident, if he continued to stay in the Divine Maiden Palace, whether or not he broke through to Nascent Soul, he would have been a great asset to the Divine Maiden Palace.

But now… “Sigh.”

Sighing again, Shen Jianjia hugged her two sisters, tossed out her token, located the Divine Maiden Palace’s anchor point, tore through the Great Void, and returned to her palace to help them suppress the effects of [Tears of the Fairy] poison within them.

Although much of the [Tears of the Fairy] poison in her two sisters’ bodies had been resolved,

the aftereffects of this drug were extremely potent.

Now that Lu Changsheng had left, it was impossible for her to find a male cultivator to detoxify them.

She could only expend great magical energy herself to help suppress and withstand the poison.

On a certain enormous island.

“Ahhh!!! Island Lord, save me, save me!”

“Spare me! Demon Concubine, spare me!”

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

From within the island, the howls of vengeful spirits, the sounds of slaughter, and cries for mercy echoed continuously.

Countless vengeful spirits were seen slaughtering the island, and under the beams of ghostly light and black mist, blood splattered everywhere.

Some cultivators tried to escape the island, but above it loomed a tall, majestic palace, seemingly built from piled-up white bones.

This White Bone Palace, filled with a dark and eerie aura, enveloped the entire island, making it impossible for the cultivators within to escape; they could only fight to the death.

But how could they be a match for these vengeful spirits?

“Si Guihua, are you not afraid of divine retribution for such slaughter?!”

An old Core Formation cultivator on the island roared to the heavens, his hair wildly disheveled, his voice full of resentment.

“Ghost Spirit Child, you obtained treasures and dared to conceal and not report them. You should have expected such an end. Moreover, these lowly people being able to nourish Demon Concubine’s demon palace is their honor!”

Within the White Bone Palace looming above the island, several ghost maidservants holding ceremonial fans, baskets, and plain cloths attended a captivating figure reclining on an exquisitely luxurious throne, adorned with an ornate crown and possessing a slender and alluring form.

On the steps outside the palace, a maidservant dressed in a blood-red dress coldly rebuked the old Core Formation cultivator.

“Blood Robe, that’s enough.”

At this moment, the exquisite figure surrounded by ghost maidservants spoke, her voice lazy and casual, filled with indifference and utterly uninterested in the slaughter.

This was normal.

As the Six Paths Demon Concubine, this Crimson Spirit Island was merely a third-rank island, without even a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could it be worthy of her personally taking action? It was simply that in her previous battle with Shen Baishuang and Lu Changsheng, her White Bone Demon Palace was damaged, and her fourth-rank ghost pet was devoured by the Soul-Crying Beast, greatly reducing her strength. Therefore, she was using the resentment of the cultivators on this island to nourish her demon palace.

And she was cultivating the chosen maidservant Blood Robe as a new fourth-rank ghost pet.

“Thank you, Demon Concubine!”

The maidservant in a blood-red dress immediately responded with delight and then transformed into a streak of blood-red shadow, flying towards the old Core Formation cultivator.

Just then, suddenly, the Six Paths Demon Concubine sensed something. Her delicate and charming willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her world-surpassing figure, who had been reclining on the exquisitely luxurious throne, sat up.

Beneath her dark red, luxurious robes, a pair of jade feet, with skin as white as snow and exquisitely translucent, as if coated with a layer of fine ghee, descended.

A kneeling ghost maidservant beside her immediately held up a pair of dark red crystal shoes, resembling Manjusaka flowers, with both hands and put them on those divinely crafted, peerless jade feet.

Set off by the sharp, needle-like, and stunningly beautiful light-gold stiletto heels, the woman’s extremely hot and alluring, graceful figure became enchantingly seductive at this moment, almost capable of easily destroying the rationality and restraint of any male, and even female.

The Six Paths Demon Concubine, in a dark red palace attire robe and ornate crown, with a stunningly graceful figure and myriad of elegant postures, walked out of the White Bone Palace and gazed into the distance.

She saw ripples in the void dozens of miles away, and a cloud of colorful mist suddenly appeared.

“Xuamu Daoist?!”

When the Six Paths Demon Concubine saw the figure enveloped in the cloud of colorful mist, surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes at first, followed by overwhelming joy.

She hadn’t expected that Xuamu Daoist, whom she had been constantly investigating and divining for, without any information, would actually appear here.

It was truly ‘searching high and low, finding it when least expected’! “Heaven’s will! Truly, heaven is helping me!”

The Six Paths Demon Concubine, radiant as spring blossoms, with a face that was both stunningly beautiful yet dignified, grand, noble, and majestic, was filled with surprise and ecstasy.

The more she thought about the battle at Black Reef Islands, the more frustrated she became, and the more she wanted revenge.

But the Divine Maiden Palace was something she couldn’t touch now, couldn’t even think of touching; she had to wait for Six Paths Demon Lord to come out of seclusion.

Xuamu Daoist, aside from the few pieces of information she knew—his mysterious origin and his continued presence in the Divine Maiden Palace—she had no way to act against him.

But now, the latter suddenly appeared before her eyes! How could she not be overjoyed and ecstatic?!
