After his etings with the representatives from the Tai Chu Divine Hall and the Sunset Sword Sect, Lu Chen's emotions couldn't settle down for a long ti.
His heart was ablaze with fervor, dreaming of commanding a mighty army to sweep across the great dynasties, unifying the world.
In the afternoon, Lu Chen summoned Xuanyuan Chen and a group of military generals, making arrangents for the following day.
Tomorrow, they would send troops to assault the Capital City, but the main stage wouldn't be the North Country soldiers versus the imperial army.
With the involvent of Pseudo Celestials, even soldiers equipped with firearms would be of little use against them. The main role of the North Country soldiers would be to enter the Capital City and take control of the imperial army and maintain order after Lu Chen and his team had dealt with the most troubleso individuals.
After concluding the military eting, Xuanyuan Chen and the other generals left Lu Chen's temporary study.
It was now evening, and Lu Chen didn't linger in the study, heading straight to the main compound, planning to have dinner and rest early that night.
Just as he entered his room, a cold voice suddenly ca from his bed, "Who are you, really?"
Lu Chen looked toward the source of the voice and saw Yun Xianxian, wearing a pale cyan gauze dress, sitting cross-legged on his bed, her body emanating a faint, yet chilly, immortal aura.
Lu Chen did not respond imdiately; instead, he turned to close the door properly before turning back and saying, "What kind of question is that, Master?"
"Hasn't the Master long known that this disciple is a person who has reincarnated from another world into this world?"
Yun Xianxian spoke with an icy tone, "As your teacher, of course I know that you co from another world, but I don't know your true identity."
"Your ability to rally so many Celestials in such a short ti is enough to prove you're no ordinary person. Soone has paved the way for you in this world."
"To you, all this is just a trial."
"To my knowledge, only certain Cultivation Families from the Immortal world would send their family descendants to Lower Worlds for training."
Hearing Yun Xianxian's words, Lu Chen, with a smile, asked, "So, Master thinks I am a scion of so great family?"
"If you were not from a Cultivation Family, it would be impossible for you to possess high-level cultivation techniques like the Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell."
Lu Chen still did not directly answer Yun Xianxian's question, instead counter-asking, "If the disciple truly is from a Cultivation Family, what does Master plan to do?"
Yun Xianxian replied indifferently, "Then I would have to consider keeping my distance from you after leaving this world."
"I have always been a loner and dislike engaging with people from Cultivation Families."
Lu Chen said, "I see."
"However, Master need not worry; there is no so-called Cultivation Family behind , I am just an ordinary person."
Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Yun Xianxian's purple pupils stared intently at him as if trying to see through him.
For a mont, the air in the room beca even colder, and Lu Chen could feel a distinct chill as the master and disciple looked at each other.
After what seed like a long ti, Yun Xianxian coldly broke the silence, "Do you think I am a fool?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Disciple has never had such a thought."
Yun Xianxian said, "If you have no Cultivation Family behind you, then why would two major forces like the Sunset Sword Sect and the Tai Chu Divine Hall co to your side? Do you an to say those two Celestials are out of their minds?"
Lu Chen said, "There are so things I can't tell Master just yet, but please trust your disciple, I really don't have any Cultivation Family behind , I was just an ordinary person in my past life."
Just as Lu Chen spoke these words, those purple pupils of Yun Xianxian emitted a purple light.
As Lu Chen's words sank in, Yun Xianxian blinked slightly in surprise — could what he said be true?
She had the ability to discern whether soone was lying to so extent, and if Lu Chen was lying, she would have known right away. But upon her judgnt, Lu Chen truly wasn't lying.
Which ans, in his past life, Lu Chen really was just an ordinary person with no backing from a Cultivation Family. Explore more adventures at empire
But if he didn't have a massive force behind him, how could it be possible for the Sunset Sword Sect and the Tai Chu Divine Hall to co to pledge allegiance to Lu Chen willingly?
When Yun Xianxian regained her composure, she asked, "When do you plan to share these secrets with your teacher?"
Lu Chen said, "When the ti is ripe, the disciple will naturally tell Master everything."
Yun Xianxian huffed lightly and said, "Your teacher advises you to stay vigilant and not beco soone else's pawn."
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If indeed there is a power behind Lu Chen, helping him and even able to make enormous forces like the Sunset Sword Sect and Tai Chu Divine Hall submit to him, then it's evident that this power must want sothing from Lu Chen.
As a person from the Immortal world herself, Yun Xianxian understood the ruthlessness of the cultivation world; even she initially approached Lu Chen with the aim of using him for dual cultivation to restore her strength. Therefore, she believed that this power must also want to use Lu Chen for sothing.
Although her initial purpose in approaching Lu Chen was to use him, deep down, Yun Xianxian had developed a sense of possessiveness; in her view, Lu Chen was now her disciple, and she did not want to see anyone else use him for their purposes.
