When light reappeared before Lu Chen's eyes, he found himself inside the Yun ng Hall.
The Yun ng Hall was entirely crafted from colorful Immortal Crystals that emitted radiant hues, making the entire hall seem dreamlike.
At this mont, Immortal Venerable Yun ng was adorned in a multicolored gauzy long dress, standing in the hall with her back to him.
Lu Chen imdiately spoke, "Greetings, Palace Master. I wonder what the Palace Master seeks from ?"
Immortal Venerable Yun ng turned around at this point, cast a glance at Lu Chen, and then said, "Are you getting accustod to the Mysterious Moon Palace?"
Lu Chen froze for a mont; he didn't believe that Immortal Venerable Yun ng sought him out to inquire about his comfort at the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Imdiately, Lu Chen used the system's recognition function to check
Immortal Venerable Yun ng's personal information, which had been updated to display her recent sches against him.
Lu Chen chuckled inwardly, realizing she intended to obtain the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture from him.
Lu Chen then said, "Palace Master, whatever you wish to say, feel free to speak directly."
Knowing Lu Chen was not easily deceived, Immortal Venerable Yun ng directly said, "You must have heard about the recent events in the Northern Domain, right?"
Lu Chen replied, "I've been in secluded cultivation recently and am not well-inford about outside affairs."
Immortal Venerable Yun ng said, "Currently, nearly half of the Northern Domain's land is under the control of the Demon Emperor's army. The various major forces of the Northern Domain can barely resist. The suppression of Immortal Power by the Heavenly Demon Power is very apparent. If the Demon Emperor continues to grow and regain full strength, it would be a disaster for the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain."
Saying this, Immortal Venerable Yun ng glanced at Lu Chen, noticing no change in his expression. She furrowed her brows slightly and continued, "The Heavenly Splendor Hall in the Southern Domain issued a warrant for your arrest, claiming you possess ans to counter Evil Power"
"I don't know if it's a cultivation technique or a magic treasure, but if it can counter Evil Power, perhaps it could be used against the Heavenly Demon, possibly having so effect."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen instantly understood her intent; she wanted to use the Heavenly Splendor Hall to threaten him.
Her implication was that if he didn't hand over the thod to counter Evil Power, she might spread the word about his presence in the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't believe Immortal Venerable Yun ng would actually do that. He was not at all concerned about her threats and imdiately said, "That's just a pretext the Heavenly Splendor Hall is using to find . They think I've obtained many opportunities from the Chaotic Sea and want to get those opportunities from ."
"However, I've escaped to the Central Domain. The Heavenly Splendor Hall likely searched the Southern Domain thoroughly and couldn't find , so they issued this warrant. If there's no benefit in finding , other forces will naturally not assist the Heavenly Splendor Hall in their search. But if finding provides benefits and could help address the current crisis, then all the major forces will send people to search for ."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Yun ng pondered for a mont. Lu Chen's words were not without reason. The letter from the Heavenly Splendor Hall didn't state that Lu Chen definitely had the ans to counter Heavenly Demon Power; it only ntioned suspicions about his ability to counter Evil Power.
If soday other forces helped the Heavenly Splendor Hall capture Lu Chen and then forced him to disclose a thod to counter Heavenly Demon Power, only to find that he knew nothing and that even a Soul Search couldn't uncover related mories, then the Heavenly Splendor Hall could simply say they only suspected it and never claid Lu Chen definitely had such ans.
At this mont, Immortal Venerable Yun ng calmly observed Lu Chen, seemingly trying to discern whether he was lying from his expression.
Lu Chen's expression remained calm, showing no signs of deceit. It seed he wasn't afraid of a Soul Search. Could it really be as Lu Chen said, that the Heavenly Splendor Hall was just using this pretext to find him?
Immortal Venerable Yun ng asked, "Are you truly without a thod to counter Heavenly Demon Power?"
Lu Chen retorted, "Does the Palace Master have a thod to counter Heavenly Demon Power?"
Immortal Venerable Yun ng answered, "No."
Lu Chen said, "Even a super force like the Mysterious Moon Palace doesn't have one, so how could I possibly have one?"
Immortal Venerable Yun ng said, "That remains uncertain, especially since you have ventured into the Chaotic Sea."
Lu Chen replied, "The Chaotic Sea contains only dangers, no opportunities."
"If there truly were opportunities in the Chaotic Sea, the Demon Emperor wouldn't have had his cultivation state drop so much upon erging. Does the Palace Master think a King entering the Chaotic Sea would encounter more opportunities, or an Emperor?"
"If even an Immortal Emperor entering the Chaotic Sea couldn't find opportunities, then how could I, an Immortal King, discover opportunities even
an Immortal Emperor couldn't find?"
At this point, Immortal Venerable Yun ng couldn't ascertain whether Lu Chen was speaking truthfully. She then said, "Whether the Demon Emperor found opportunities or not, only she would know."
Immortal Venerable Yun ng didn't explicitly refer to Lu Chen, but the sa applied to him; only Lu Chen himself truly knew whether he found any
opportunities.
Immortal Venerable Yun ng thought for a mont and finally decided not to continue questioning Lu Chen for the ti being. She planned to send soone to investigate why the Heavenly Splendor Hall was so ostentatiously issuing the
warrant.
Whether the contents of the letter sent by the Heavenly Splendor Hall were true, or if this was just an excuse they used to capture Lu Chen.
Immortal Venerable Yun ng said to Lu Chen, "I believe you're not lying. You
can go."
Lu Chen then said, "Thank you for trusting , Palace Master."
With those words, Lu Chen turned and left.
Watching Lu Chen's departing figure, Immortal Venerable Yun ng still
harbored so suspicions.
Imdiately, she summoned a few individuals to go to the Southern Domain
and investigate what had transpired between Lu Chen and the Heavenly Splendor Hall since his return from the Chaotic Sea.
After leaving the Yun ng Hall, as Lu Chen was about to return to Heavenly Language Peak, he saw a fairy in a red long dress passing by him not far away. At this mont, Xu Jingshu felt sothing and suddenly turned her head towards Lu Chen. Upon seeing him, she montarily beca slightly dazed. It had been a long ti since she last saw Lu Chen, and she missed him greatly. The joyful mories Lu Chen had brought her kept lingering in her mind. Xu Jingshu was considered a significant figure on the main peak, so when she turned to look at Lu Chen, nearly everyone present followed her gaze to Lu Chen. People were curious why the mother of the unborn Saintess would fixate on the Direct Disciple of Heavenly Language Peak.
Realizing her slight loss of composure, Xu Jingshu transmitted a ssage to Lu Chen, asking, "Can I acknowledge you?"
Life without Lu Chen was sowhat unbearable for this Evil Immortal; she wanted to reunite with him but feared that her current identity might bring trouble to Lu Chen.
With a smile, Lu Chen replied via sound transmission, "Of course."
To Lu Chen, this was rely a physical body. Even if sothing did happen, it
wouldn't affect him. Thus, he wasn't worried that reuniting with Xu Jingshu would bring him any trouble.
