Chapter 1756: Chapter 1446: A Test from the Mysterious Moon Palace
Upon hearing Guihai Immortal Monarch’s words, Chiyan Immortal King was suddenly taken aback.
Indeed, just as Guihai Immortal Monarch said, although they turned back, they had allied with the Mysterious Moon Palace. Most importantly, their Chiyan Sect helped the Mysterious Moon Palace hold back the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, disrupting the Heavenly Splendor Hall’s plan to destroy the Mysterious Moon Palace.
For a Super Force like the Heavenly Splendor Hall, extinguishing a small Immortal Sect like theirs would be effortless. When the day comes that Heavenly Splendor Hall destroys the Mysterious Moon Palace, perhaps the Immortal Venerate of Heavenly Splendor Hall might suddenly remember that it was the Chiyan Sect that foiled their initial plan and casually wipe out their Chiyan Sect.
Seeing Chiyan Immortal King in a daze, Guihai Immortal Monarch immediately said, "If your Chiyan Sect wants to earn forgiveness from the Heavenly Splendor Hall, cutting ties with the Mysterious Moon Palace is only the beginning."
Upon hearing this, Chiyan Immortal King immediately asked, "I wonder if the envoy has any suggestions? Please teach me, and our Chiyan Sect will reward you generously."
Guihai Immortal Monarch replied indifferently: "You just need to join the campaign against the Mysterious Moon Palace. At that time, I will put in a good word for you and tell the upper management that you were bewitched by the Mysterious Moon Palace, and all your previous actions will naturally be written off."
This...
Chiyan Immortal King was momentarily stunned. To be honest, he was somewhat reluctant to betray an ally so quickly.
It’s not because he is highly moral, but mainly because they had just allied with the Mysterious Moon Palace not long ago, and then they would immediately betray an ally. If word of this got out, their Chiyan Sect would definitely be pointed at by some Immortal Sects.
If the Chiyan Sect ever faces another crisis that could lead to their destruction, no one would be willing to ally with their Chiyan Sect again.
However, on the other hand, if they don’t show a clear stance, the Heavenly Splendor Hall might not let them pass.
Betraying an ally is indeed immoral, and it might affect Chiyan Sect’s reputation, but it’s better than being destroyed by the Heavenly Splendor Hall.
After thinking deeply, Chiyan Immortal King finally said: "Thank you, envoy. Our Chiyan Sect is also willing to join the crusade, together with others, against the Mysterious Moon Palace!"
Seeing Chiyan Immortal King agree, Guihai Immortal Monarch’s lips slightly curled up, having recruited another Immortal Sect. Once the Blood Eagle Hall is settled, with three forces attacking the Mysterious Moon Palace simultaneously, it won’t be long before the Mysterious Moon Palace is destroyed.
...
Mysterious Moon Palace.
Heavenly Language Peak.
Lu Chen was meditating in cultivation when he suddenly sensed several presences outside his courtyard. He wondered in his heart if more assassins had come to kill him.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately opened his eyes and walked straight toward the courtyard entrance. Upon reaching the entrance, he found a group of women standing there.
At this moment, a woman stepped forward and said to Lu Chen: "Junior Brother, these women are the maids awarded to you by the Immortal Sect."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback. Why would the Immortal Sect award him so many maids?
Lu Chen glanced at the fairies before him; each of them was as beautiful as a flower, with stunning appearances.
Of course, there are hardly any ugly fairies, but the beauty of these fairies surpassed that of most ordinary fairies.
At this moment, Lu Chen used the system to identify the identities of these fairies. Most of them were from the main peak, but there was one person who was not a fairy from the main peak.
Lu Chen’s gaze lingered on the woman in red.
[Name: Liu Cai]
[Identity: Sky Eagle Peak]
[Strength: Golden Immortal]
[Loyalty: 0]
Seeing Liu Cai was not a fairy from the main peak, Lu Chen became instantly wary.
Since everyone else was sent from the main peak, and she alone was not, it indicated that this Liu Cai was likely inserted by Sky Eagle Peak with a deliberate arrangement to be here.
At this moment, the Qingyi woman standing in front of Lu Chen continued, "Junior Brother, I’ll be heading back now."
Lu Chen said: "Alright, take care, Senior Sister."
After the Qingyi woman left, these fairies uniformly addressed Lu Chen, saying, "Greetings, Young Master."
Lu Chen did not correct their form of address and said lightly, "I don’t need so many maids here. If you wish to regain your freedom, you may leave now."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, these women remained standing, showing no intention of leaving.
Lu Chen thought within his heart, could it be that the Mysterious Moon Palace sent so many fairies to him because they thought he was not worthy of Xu Jingshu? To make Xu Jingshu give up on him, they purposely selected these women to seduce him?
If he indulged with them on Heavenly Language Peak night after night, someone could report these happenings to Xu Jingshu, letting her see the true face of her partner, making her give up on him.
Of course, this scenario was based on a normal couple’s relationship with Xu Jingshu. If they were a normal couple, indeed, indulging in such behavior could lead to Xu Jingshu’s disappointment.
But Lu Chen and Xu Jingshu were not a normal couple. Xu Jingshu was indeed his woman, but in this relationship, Lu Chen was in a dominant position, and Xu Jingshu was his captive. Even if he indulged night after night, even if Xu Jingshu knew he had many women, it wouldn’t change Xu Jingshu’s view of him.
On the contrary, if Xu Jingshu knew he had many women, she might be quite pleased because it would mean his attention was diverted and he wouldn’t be as focused on confronting her as before.
Lu Chen then said: "Since you are unwilling to leave, you may come in."
With those words, Lu Chen proceeded towards his room, continuing as he walked: "There are a few rooms in the courtyard. You can pick any one you want to stay in. From now on, don’t disturb me in my cultivation if there’s nothing important."
Although these fairies were quite beautiful, compared to his other women, their looks were still far inferior, so he had no interest in them.
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the women all said in unison: "Yes, Young Master."
Lu Chen then entered his room and resumed his meditation.
After these women picked their rooms, they gathered into one, setting up a formation to isolate any detection.
One fairy spoke: "What do we do now? The Steward wants us to seduce him, but judging by his demeanor, he doesn’t seem interested in beauty at all."
"Perhaps he’s just pretending. After all, we’ve just arrived today. Give it a few days, and his true nature might emerge."
"Hopefully so. If we can complete the task, we can become official disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace."
...
Listening to these women’s discussions, Liu Cai remained silent. Her purpose was different from these women. Their goal was merely to entangle Chen Lu with beauty, while her aim was to make Chen Lu leave Heavenly Language Peak and then kill him.
The immediate task was to make Chen Lu interested in her. Earlier, she clearly felt Chen Lu’s gaze linger on her for a moment, so surely Chen Lu was already interested in her. She just needed to be a little proactive, and Chen Lu might take the bait.
