Ji Qiuyu also sensed that sothing was off with Nangong Yuehua's emotions. Seeing a faint aura of authority emanating from Nangong Yuehua, Ji Qiuyu was about to say sothing, but Lu Chen interrupted her.
"Your Majesty, I am the Loose Cultivator who helped Black Moon City withstand the Demonic Tide."
As Lu Chen finished speaking, Ji Qiuyu quickly added, "Your Majesty, since Lu Chen helped Black Moon City resist the Demonic Tide, the Great Chu Dynasty has appointed him as the Deputy City Lord of Black Moon City."
Hearing this, Nangong Yuehua was unimpressed. She clearly understood what Ji Qiuyu ant; Ji Qiuyu was implying that Lu Chen was now a man of the Great Chu Dynasty and couldn't just be taken away.
But for her, if Lu Chen truly possessed the capability to suppress Demonic Qi, it didn't matter whether he belonged to the Great Chu Dynasty or Tianji Pavilion, she would make a move to snatch him.
At that mont, Nangong Yuehua glanced at Lu Chen, who was lying on the bed, and then asked, "I am curious, where did your so-called Demon-Exorcising Sword Technique co from?"
Lu Chen replied, "Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a Demon-Exorcising Sword Technique."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Nangong Yuehua's red pupils seed to beco even more blood-red, and a murderous intent radiated from her.
An invisible pressure emanated from Nangong Yuehua's body, making the entire room oppressively heavy, to the point where Ji Qiuyu found it difficult to breathe.
However, Lu Chen seed unaffected; he continued with a calm expression, "I can suppress Demonic Qi simply because my physical constitution is special."
After Lu Chen's words, a burst of Spiritual Power lifted him from the bed, and then a stream of Spiritual Power entered his body, checking his condition.
This examination caused Nangong Yuehua's expression to turn even colder. This man seed like an inanimate object, devoid of any signs of life, his heart not even beating, yet the Spiritual Power within him was incredibly abundant. Moreover, there was no trace of Demonic Qi in him, nor was he a Demon Cultivator.
Lu Chen's technique was Saint-level Puppetry, not easily seen through. Without special ans, at least soone at the Divinity Transformation Realm would be required to realize that his body was a puppet.
After examining Lu Chen's body, Nangong Yuehua was sure that this man's constitution was indeed special, but she was uncertain whether his ability to suppress Demonic Qi was due to his constitution or if he had practiced a Demon-Exorcising Sword Technique.
But that didn't really matter.
As long as it was confird that this man could suppress Demonic Qi.
Nangong Yuehua then said, "Co with to the Zixiao Dynasty, I can ensure you live the rest of your life in glory and riches, and the Zixiao Dynasty can provide you with endless resources for cultivation to beco stronger."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Previously, Your Majesty's sister from the sa mother also wanted to take away, but considering my important role in Black Moon City, she ultimately chose to leave."
"Even Your Majesty's sister knows to consider the bigger picture. I believe Your Majesty, as the Emperor of the Zixiao Dynasty, would know the right course of action."
Nangong Yuehua's face darkened instantly, and a burst of lethal fury spread from her body.
Sister?
Very few people were aware that she had a sister. Although she was Princess Junwan, she had many sisters, but only one was from the sa mother.
That was Nangong Qingya.
Nangong Qingya was naturally bloodthirsty. To conceal her existence, the Emperor had sent her away from the Imperial Palace early on. Over ti, she beca a Demonic Cultivator and even the Sect Master of Blood Rainbow Pavilion, the leading Cult of the Demonic Qi-infested Ziyang World, but almost no one knew she was a princess of the Zixiao Dynasty.
Those who had known about this were mostly eliminated by Nangong Yuehua's father.
This man actually knew!
Nangong Yuehua promptly raised her hand, and a force directly pulled Lu Chen's body to her, gripping his neck tightly.
Unfortunately, Lu Chen had a puppet body, so no matter how hard she squeezed, he was unhard.
"Who are you!"
Nangong Yuehua's tone was extrely cold, as if issuing a command, unmistakable.
Lu Chen calmly said, "Your Majesty, why are you and your sister alike, so violent, always resorting to physical actions? If you accidentally killed , with no one to restrain the Heavenly Demon Power, once the Heavenly Demon breaks its seal, the cultivators in this world will likely soon be devoured."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Nangong Yuehua quickly stabilized her emotions.
She continued to ask, "Since you know she is my sister, then you should be very clear, there is only one outco for those who know."
The Blood Rainbow Pavilion was the largest Demonic Cultivator force in the Ziyang World, and if people knew that the owner of the Blood Rainbow Pavilion was the sister of the Empress of the Zixiao Dynasty, wouldn't that make people think that the Zixiao Dynasty and the Blood Rainbow Pavilion were colluding as evil forces?
Moreover, she had just ascended the throne not long ago, and if the old officials of the Zixiao Dynasty knew about this, they would certainly use this as an excuse to propose deposing her.
Nangong Yuehua continued, "I give you two choices, either co back to the Zixiao Dynasty with or die!"
Since this man knew she had a sister, he could not be allowed to remain in Black Moon City any longer; if the news got out, it would bring her great trouble.
At that mont, Lu Chen pulled out an identity token given to him by Nangong Qingya and imdiately said, "The Nangong Sect Master instructed to guard Black Moon City here, preventing the spread of the Demonic Tide. She told that if soone wanted to take away, to imdiately activate the token, and she would soon appear before ."
"If Your Majesty insists on taking away, then I have no choice but to activate this token. It has probably been many years since Your Majesty has seen your sister, hasn't it?"
Seeing the token in Lu Chen's hand, Nangong Yuehua frowned, for it was indeed the Pavilion Master's Token of the Blood Rainbow Pavilion, which Lu Chen could activate by channeling a bit of Spiritual Energy.
Concerning her sister, Nangong Yuehua had no desire to see her, for after all, she was a Demonic Cultivator, while she was the Empress of the Zixiao Dynasty.
One righteous, one villainous, the two sisters were destined to be enemies in this life.
After thinking for a mont, Nangong Yuehua knew that even Nangong Qingya had not taken Lu Chen away. If she took Lu Chen away now, the Blood Rainbow Pavilion would surely co knocking.
Moreover, other forces were also eyeing Lu Chen, and in the future, more and more forces would contend for him. Given that, she might as well leave Lu Chen in Black Moon City to guard it, preventing the spread of the Demonic Tide and thus slowing down the Heavenly Demon's breaking of the seal.
As long as the Zixiao Dynasty and the Blood Rainbow Pavilion both declared for Lu Chen to guard Black Moon City, other forces naturally wouldn't target Lu Chen anymore, as anyone who tried to take Lu Chen might be labeled a Demon Cultivator.
Because only those who want the Demonic Tide to spread and release the Heavenly Demon wouldn't want Lu Chen to guard Black Moon City.
Thinking this, Nangong Yuehua let go of Lu Chen and then took out a jade amulet, sending it directly to his face with Spiritual Power.
"If I find out you have divulged the relationship between and that person, no matter how important you are to the Ziyang World, I will personally take your life."
"There is a Transmission Array within the token, should you encounter danger, just activate the array, and I will send soone to rescue you."
As her words fell, Nangong Yuehua vanished from where she stood, no longer in the mood to ask how Lu Chen found out about Nangong Qingya's identity.
In her eyes at that mont, since Nangong Qingya had even handed over the Pavilion Master's Token to Lu Chen, it proved that she valued him highly, perhaps foreseeing that her sister would co, so she took the initiative to inform Lu Chen of their relationship.
