Chapter 1762: Chapter 1452: Disciple Pays Respects to Honored Master!
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable didn’t pay much attention initially, but upon inspecting closely, she discovered that Chen Lu’s Qi Fortune was exceptionally dense. However, he seemed to have means to shield himself from the Heavenly Mechanism, which obscured his dense Qi Fortune, hence she didn’t notice earlier.
At first, seeing Lu Chen as merely a Heavenly Immortal, she didn’t intend to investigate seriously, which is why she overlooked the enormous Qi Fortune on him.
If Lu Chen hadn’t consecutively defeated Golden Immortals twice, and this time his battle with Liu Cai was personally observed by the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable, she wouldn’t have any serious thoughts of investigating him.
When Lu Chen was initially brought back to the Mysterious Moon Palace by Yun Yudie, he realized his Qi Fortune was too conspicuous, thus he used the Power of Heavenly Mechanism to shield it. However, his current strength is insufficient; if the Immortal Venerable truly wishes to delve deeply, his Power of Heavenly Mechanism cannot shield against the Immortal Venerable’s probing.
Seeing the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable express the desire to accept him as a disciple, Lu Chen immediately realized that his Qi Fortune must have been perceived by the Immortal Venerable, leading to her decision.
Lu Chen did not hesitate to bow to the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable, saying: "Disciple greets Honored Master!"
Seeing Lu Chen perform the disciple’s homage, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable continued, "Now that you have become my disciple, you are qualified to stay by Jingzhu’s side in the future. However, since she is the Saintess’ mother, if you want to be worthy of her, you must become stronger. Otherwise, one day there may be more than just you by her side."
Lu Chen replied, "Thank you, Honored Master, for the reminder."
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable then produced a Space Ring and said, "Inside here are some Immortal Techniques and Cultivation Resources. Take them for cultivation. If the resources are insufficient, tell me. Additionally, from today onwards, move to the Heavenly Language Palace."
The Heavenly Language Palace is very large, with over a thousand courtyards. Of course, most of these courtyards are empty, as she doesn’t have many direct disciples, and there are basically no men within the palace.
Considering the possibility of assassins from other peaks coming to target Lu Chen, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable decided to let Lu Chen move to the Heavenly Language Palace. This way, even if someone wants to kill him, they would be apprehensive.
After all, the Heavenly Language Palace is her residence; she knows every slight move. Anyone acting inside the palace is challenging her authority, and those who intend to harm Lu Chen will consider the consequences before acting.
Of course, it’s uncertain whether those assassins can infiltrate the Heavenly Language Palace. The people within the palace are mostly confidants of the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable, and it is almost impossible to turn her confidants against her.
Lu Chen thanked again and said, "Thank you, Honored Master!"
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable gazed at Lu Chen once more before reminding him, "I don’t care where you come from or what secrets you hold. Now that you have joined the Mysterious Moon Palace and become my direct disciple, you are a part of the palace. From now on, your focus must be on the Mysterious Moon Palace."
To the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable, the thick Qi Fortune surrounding Chen Lu and even the shielding Power of Heavenly Mechanism suggest that Chen Lu’s identity might be extraordinary, possibly a prince of some Immortal Dynasty or from a powerful faction.
But regardless of his identity, now that he is my disciple, I cannot allow him to still be concerned with past affiliations.
After hearing the reminder from the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable, Lu Chen promptly said, "Disciple will remember Master’s words."
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable then said, "Move to the Heavenly Language Palace."
Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and then asked, "Honored Master, what about those maids?"
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable asked coldly, "What, are you reluctant to part with those women?"
Of course, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable knew the main peak sent those women to Lu Chen for a purpose, but she initially didn’t care, as she somewhat hoped Xu Jingshu would become utterly disappointed in Lu Chen.
However, since Lu Chen is now her disciple, she naturally doesn’t want her disciple to be ensnared by beauty.
Lu Chen said, "Disciple has no such intention. I just think they have ulterior motives, sending them back to the main peak is best."
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable said indifferently, "You can see they have a purpose; you’re not too foolish after all."
"But as long as you don’t touch them, you can let them continue to serve you."
Now that Chen Lu is her direct disciple, naturally he requires someone to care for him, and the women sent by the main peak are quite suitable for serving Chen Lu.
However, if Chen Lu fails to resist temptation and acts on those women, he can’t blame her for falling out with Xu Jingshu.
Lu Chen immediately said, "Better send them all back to the main peak. Disciple doesn’t need anyone to attend to me."
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable said, "Alright, I will arrange for them to be sent back later. Follow Qingyi to choose a courtyard and a cave estate."
As soon as the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable finished her words, a woman dressed in green appeared before Lu Chen, respectfully addressing him, "Junior Brother, please follow me."
Lu Chen subsequently followed Qingyi to select a courtyard. Watching Lu Chen’s departing silhouette, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable thought in her heart; with someone possessing such dense Qi Fortune joining the Mysterious Moon Palace, the palace’s immortal sect fortune would surely surge significantly, increasing the likelihood of overcoming their crisis.
At that moment, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable suddenly sensed Liu Cai appearing at Sky Eagle Peak. Her expression turned icy cold; she had intentionally let Liu Cai leave earlier to see from which peak she was sent.
Of course, she could use the Soul Searching Technique on Liu Cai but chose not to, as this was giving face to the other party and also a warning. If they still intend to send people to assassinate Lu Chen, they cannot blame her for turning hostile.
Soon, Liu Cai returned to the Golden Wing Immortal Monarch’s sleeping palace. Seeing Liu Cai return severely injured, the Golden Wing Immortal Monarch sensed trouble and immediately asked, "What happened? How did you get hurt so badly?"
Liu Cai immediately knelt and said, "Forgive me, master; this servant failed to accomplish the master’s task."
Upon hearing this, Liu Cai frowned, his expression turned grim.
Before the Golden Wing Immortal Monarch could speak, Liu Cai continued, "This servant intended to use the Charm Skill on Chen Lu but found him unharmed, and furthermore, Chen Lu directly revealed this servant came from Sky Eagle Peak."
"Identifying as exposed, I initially intended to assassinate him directly, but unexpectedly, he possessed Protective Dharma Treasure given by the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable. Unable to kill him, I had to flee."
The Golden Wing Immortal Monarch’s face turned even darker. He thought, Chen Lu couldn’t have known Liu Cai’s origins; he was always at the Heavenly Language Peak and didn’t know Liu Cai. Liu Cai infiltrated through those women from the main peak.
If Chen Lu could directly deduce Liu Cai’s origins, it must be the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable knew Liu Cai’s identity early and informed him, and the reason Liu Cai managed to return alive was likely because the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable deliberately allowed her to.
After all, Liu Cai attempted to harm Chen Lu, and even Chen Lu activated the Protective Dharma Treasure given by the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable. The Immortal Venerable could have easily killed Liu Cai with a slight effort, yet she did not.
Clearly, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable is warning them at Sky Eagle Peak!
Thinking of this, the Golden Wing Immortal Monarch snorted coldly, raised his hand, and Liu Cai was directly flown into his grasp.
