Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

She looked at the jade pendant, furrowing her brows slightly, feeling a pause in her heart.

This jade pendant was one of a pair with the "He Guang Tong Chen" jade she had initially given to Lu Changsheng.

Between the two jade pendants, there was a mutual sensitivity.

This was also why she had given the "He Guang Tong Chen" jade to Lu Changsheng initially, signaling a life-and-death crisis that could activate the jade pendant to call for help from her.

Otherwise, like common communication tools, they would all have distance limitations.

If it was too far away, there would be no way to sense it at all.

"How did he come to Qingyun Sect?"

Looking at the flowing halo of the jade pendant, Yun Wanshang knew that Lu Changsheng must be within a hundred miles of Qingyun Sect, or he had arrived at Qingyun Sect.

Only at this distance would her own "Ji Yue Qing Feng" jade feel a response.

Yun Wanshang did not pay it any mind and stored the jade pendant in her storage ring.

Ever since she learned about the affair between her disciple Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng, she had no wish to have any further involvement with Lu Changsheng.

She dismissed the idea of cultivating Lu Changsheng, having the two become a daoist couple, and dual cultivating the spirit-nurturing energy.

Yun Wanshang sat in front of the vanity, gathering her hair into a bun and skewering it with a hairpin.

Then with a fragrant stride, she stepped out of the grand hall, transforming into a rainbow of divine light, heading towards the Enforcement Hall.

As a Nascent Soul Immortal of Qingyun Sect and the Peak Master of Caiyun Peak, she also served as the Master of the Enforcement Hall.

Due to incidents involving the Demonic Path, over the years, Qingyun Sect had captured many cultivators of the Demonic Path.

Qingyun Sect naturally did not simply execute these demonic path cultivators.

Such cultivators often possessed many secrets, related messages, or even cultivation techniques, incantations, and treasures.

All of these were the responsibility of the Enforcement Hall to interrogate.

After thoroughly extracting their value, these demon cultivators would then be either executed or used as labor, depending on the circumstances.

...

Qingyun Sect.

Record Hall.

Lady Meng held a jade scroll, looking over one sect affair after another.

"Lu Changsheng of Qing Zhu Mountain has established a family on Bi Lake Mountain?"

"Hmm? Lu Changsheng, Bi Lake Mountain?"

At this moment, Lady Meng glimpsed a piece of information in her hand, her eyes narrowing slightly.

She then thoughtfully opened another jade scroll.

Inside, a vivid map emerged.

With a slight mental command, she altered the map, and Bi Lake Mountain appeared.

On it was information about the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain.

Looking at the information on the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain, she turned to a disciple beside her and asked, "How did the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain come to change masters?"

"Reporting to Elder Meng, as far as this disciple knows, initially, while the Lu Family of Qing Zhu Mountain was breaking through to Foundation Establishment, the Patriarch of the Yu Family took the opportunity to cause trouble..."

"Then Lu Changsheng alone killed three Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the Yu Family and subsequently joined forces with the Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family to demand justice, eventually forcing the Yu Family to hand over Bi Lake Mountain as compensation," spoke the disciple of the Record Hall.

"Lu Changsheng alone killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"

Upon hearing these words, Lady Meng's expression immediately darkened, and she grew colder.

Because of the matter involving her grandson Meng Yibai, she had been keeping a covert watch on Xiao Xiyue.

In the process, she learned that Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue had an unusual relationship, so she had investigated Lu Changsheng.

Seeing that he was just a junior from a small clan who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, she hadn't paid much attention.

Now, hearing that Lu Changsheng had killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators on his own, she grew suspicious.

She suspected that Lu Changsheng was the one who had killed her grandson, Meng Yibai.

After all, she had kept an eye on Xiao Xiyue for so many years, and it was only Lu Changsheng and the loose cultivator Han Li who seemed to be close to Xiao Xiyue.

Especially Lu Changsheng!

Her daughter was even willing to recognize Xiao Xiyue as her godmother!

Originally, Lu Changsheng had been just a junior who had barely broken through to Foundation Establishment, and she hadn't taken him seriously.

But now, she immediately suspected that Lu Changsheng was hiding his true abilities!

It was possible that the one who broke through to Foundation Establishment with Xiao Xiyue might have been Lu Changsheng!

Otherwise, how could a mere son-in-law from a small clan possess such capability?

To kill three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators right after breaking through to Foundation Establishment!

Instantly, Lady Meng's expression turned icy as she declared, "Qingyun Sect has a rule that within three years, no family power under its jurisdiction may engage in conflicts or wars!"

"What's going on with Lu Changsheng, to be so bold as to openly defy the rules and seize control of another clan's spiritual land?"

Lady Meng's aged face was full of authority as she spoke coldly.

Although it was just a suspicion, when it came to her grandson's revenge, she was not willing to let it go.

Moreover, she had always felt apprehensive about seeking vengeance.

Apprehensive about offending Xiao Xiyue because of the False Core, Core Formation master backing Lu Changsheng.

But now, with Lu Changsheng falling into her hands, she could fully take advantage of Qingyun Sect's name and rules under the pretext of this incident to capture Lu Changsheng.

Then, she would naturally come to know whether or not Lu Changsheng was the perpetrator.

If it wasn't Lu Changsheng, then it wasn't.

If it were truly done by Lu Changsheng, she could not only seek revenge for her grandson,

but also did not have to worry about the true immortal backing Lu Changsheng.

After all, would anyone dare to behave recklessly in the Qingyun Sect?

"Uh..."

This disciple, upon hearing these words, immediately showed a look of surprise on his face and wanted to say that it was the Yu Family who first violated the rules.

But seeing the expression of Lady Meng, he quickly swallowed back the words he intended to say.

After all, such matters seldom had clear boundaries.

As long as it wasn't too excessive or outrageous, the Qingyun Sect generally couldn't be bothered to deal with it.

Even if they were to handle it, it would not be up to the Record Hall to decide, but rather the Enforcement Hall.

"Elder, this disciple does not know."

The disciple said, lowering his head.

"Hmph, with such a matter at hand, the Enforcement Hall has done nothing."

"I will report to the Enforcement Hall now and have the Enforcement Team apprehend this person to set an example!"

Lady Meng snorted coldly.

Then, transforming into a dazzling rainbow, she headed to the Enforcement Hall to report the matter.

"Could it be that this Lu Changsheng has offended Elder Meng in the past?"

"Or does Elder Meng have a relationship with Bi Lake Mountain?"

Several disciples from the Record Hall looked at each other, speculating in their minds after witnessing this scene.

They knew all too well that ever since Lady Meng's grandson was inexplicably slain, her mood had become unpredictable and mercurial.

So, those disciples didn't dare to provoke her.

Furthermore, no one would stand up for a Loose Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment level and risk offending an elder of their own sect.

They just felt pity for Lu Changsheng, who had finally gained an opportunity to achieve something and was about to establish his own family, but had now run afoul of Lady Meng's ill humor.

...

Outside the gates of Qingyun Sect.

Lu Changsheng was still waiting for a reply.

Just then, two imposing Foundation Establishment Cultivators wearing Qingyun Robes approached the gate and called out, "Who is Lu Changsheng?"

"I am Lu Changsheng,"

hearing this, Lu Changsheng responded, cupping his hands in greeting.

But the appearance of these two individuals puzzled him.

Both had a sharp and extraordinary presence.

Especially on their disciple robes, there was a character '法' [Law].

They didn't quite look like the clerks responsible for registration and record-keeping.

"You are Lu Changsheng, please come with us,"

one of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators said with a chilling gaze upon Lu Changsheng, nodding his head before speaking.

"May I know who you two are?"

Lu Changsheng's brow furrowed slightly as he sensed something amiss.

Because the demeanor and tone of these two were completely different from the disciple he had spoken with before.

Their eyes carried a hint of judgment, while their manner was somewhat commanding.

"Chu Tiange of the Qingyun Sect's Enforcement Hall!"

"The Qingyun Sect has rules—within three years of a major conflict, all families and powers under its jurisdiction are forbidden from waging war, and someone has reported that you forcefully seized the spiritual lands of another family. So come with us."

One of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators spoke.

"Someone reported that I forcefully seized another family's spiritual lands?"

Lu Changsheng's expression darkened slightly.

When he seized Bi Lake Mountain, he did so in the name of Qingzhu Mountain, claiming the moral high ground.

To avoid any trouble from Qingyun Sect representatives and adhere to the rules, he had used conciliatory means.

He let Ning Hu of the Yu Family transfer the deed of the spiritual land as a form of compensation to him.

This procedure was perfectly executed, with no issues, and was fully legitimate and beyond reproach.

But now, the Qingyun Sect was claiming that there had been reports of him forcefully seizing property.

Lu Changsheng immediately suspected that descendants of the Yu Family within the sect had used some connection to report him.

Otherwise, if it had been against the rules, the Qingyun Sect should have contacted him much earlier.

How could such an incident arise only after he came to the Qingyun Sect to register?

"Let's go."

The two Enforcement disciples continued, looking at Lu Changsheng while a magic chain artifact appeared in their hands, as if they were ready to act should Lu Changsheng make any sudden moves.

"Alright."

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded.

He followed the two Enforcement disciples into the Qingyun Sect.

In such a situation, it would be utterly irrational to confront the Qingyun Sect disciples.

He wanted to see whether someone had reported him or if there was some other explanation.

If it really was a report against him and the Qingyun Sect intended to punish him, he figured that the Qingyun Order given to him by Chiyun True Immortal would help resolve the matter.
