Chapter 1772: Chapter 1462: No Need to Pretend, She Knows My Identity
As Yun Yudie and Ling Yin Immortal King stepped into the courtyard, they immediately noticed Lu Chen sitting on a stone bench.
At this moment, Lu Chen held a teacup, leisurely sipping his tea.
Seeing Lu Chen so relaxed, as if nothing had happened, Yun Yudie’s internal rage burned even brighter.
The next moment, a burst of cold energy erupted from Yun Yudie’s body. Instantly, the flowing water in the courtyard, the pond, and even the tea in Lu Chen’s hand froze into ice.
Lu Chen set down the teacup and looked up at Yun Yudie in the courtyard, smiling as he said, “Honored Master, you’re here.”
Yun Yudie coldly stared at Lu Chen, then said to Ling Yin Immortal King, “Lock him up!”
However, upon hearing Yun Yudie’s words, Ling Yin Immortal King did not move. She tentatively asked, “Hall Master, is there some misunderstanding between you and Chen Lu?”
Yun Yudie’s expression remained indifferent as she said, “No misunderstanding.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Yin Immortal King’s gaze turned toward Lu Chen, as if seeking his opinion.
Lu Chen directly said, “No need to act anymore, she knows my identity.”
Hearing this, Yun Yudie was momentarily stunned where she stood.
Lu Chen’s words were obviously not directed at her, and standing next to her was only Ling Yin Immortal King, so he was speaking to Ling Yin Immortal King?
Yun Yudie quickly turned her head, looking warily at Ling Yin Immortal King.
Seeing Lu Chen speak so openly, Ling Yin Immortal King showed a hint of an embarrassed smile and then said to Yun Yudie, “Hall Master, I’m sorry, but I’m part of the King’s faction.”
Upon hearing Ling Yin Immortal King’s words, the ice power within Yun Yudie exploded once again, sealing the entire Mysterious Moon Palace in ice, even causing a blizzard to fall.
Yun Yudie was truly infuriated. She never imagined that after following her for so many years, Ling Yin Immortal King would actually be a part of that scoundrel Lu Chen’s side.
In a cold voice, Yun Yudie asked, “Since when?”
She very much wanted to know when Ling Yin Immortal King had allied with this scoundrel, and why she would betray the Mysterious Moon Palace. She believed she had never mistreated her, even promoting her to the second Hall Master after she became an Immortal King. Yet, she was betrayed.
Ling Yin Immortal King responded, “I have been the King’s maid from the very beginning, watching him grow up.”
Upon hearing Ling Yin Immortal King’s reply, Yun Yudie felt somewhat relieved. It appeared that Ling Yin Immortal King was originally one of that scoundrel’s people, which meant there was no betrayal involved.
But quickly, Yun Yudie realized something. Since Ling Yin Immortal King was Lu Chen’s person from the start, had she infiltrated the Mysterious Moon Palace with the intent to spy on her, thus indicating that the scoundrel had been targeting her from the very beginning?
Thinking of this possibility, Yun Yudie’s expression became even colder.
The realization that she had sworn an oath not to harm this scoundrel, and that the only remaining Immortal King in the Mysterious Moon Palace was Lu Chen’s person, filled Yun Yudie with unbearable frustration.
She had been humiliated by this scoundrel in such a manner, yet now found herself powerless against him. Naturally, Lu Chen could see that Yun Yudie was extremely aggrieved, but he did not care in the slightest. He smiled as he reminded her, “Honored Master, don’t forget, your sister is still in my hands.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Yudie’s mind went blank, then she coldly replied, “Don’t let me find out you’re deceiving me.”
Lu Chen continued, “Instead of focusing on that, Honored Master should consider how to deal with the three great powers. Now that your cultivation state has fallen to the Immortal Monarch Realm, and with the Immortal Sect’s qi fortune greatly weakened, even with the Mysterious Moon Palace’s Immortal Sect Great Array, it might not withstand the siege of the three forces.”
Yun Yudie remained silent, overwhelmed by anger moments ago, but now, after calming down and considering the situation, she realized it was not the time to trouble Lu Chen.
If she wanted to flee, it wouldn’t be a problem, but the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace might fall into the hands of those Evil Immortals.
Many of the disciples were ones she had personally brought from the Mysterious Moon Palace. If she left them to escape alone, the matter might become her heart demon in the future.
At this moment, Yun Yudie recalled Lu Chen’s words from a dream, suggesting he might have a way to help the Mysterious Moon Palace escape the current predicament.
With her eyes coldly locked onto Lu Chen, she finally said expressionlessly, “Do you have a way?”
Lu Chen replied, “I do have a way, but surely Honored Master won’t expect me to work for nothing?”
“After all, saving everyone requires a significant cost from me.”
Yun Yudie’s brows furrowed slightly, then she asked, “What do you want?”
Lu Chen’s fiery gaze traveled over Yun Yudie’s long jade legs before settling on her cool and elegant face, “Honored Master should know what I want.”
Yun Yudie said nothing, tightening her jade fists, now truly wanting to cut down this rebellious disciple.
After a moment, Yun Yudie coldly said, “Once!”
She couldn’t become his plaything, always at his mercy, but once, she could treat it as being bitten by a dog.
Purity meant little to her; she simply didn’t want to be tormented by this scoundrel. She had the pride of an Immortal King, and the thought of doing humiliating things with Lu Chen in dreams filled her with indignation.
After all, she was an Immortal King; how could she be like those animals?
Lu Chen immediately understood what Yun Yudie meant and shook his head, “Not enough.”
Yun Yudie expressionlessly replied, “Twice!”
At this point, Yun Yudie could barely suppress the ice power within her body, teetering on the edge of eruption.
Lu Chen intended to push his luck, but Yun Yudie suddenly turned away, appearing ready to leave. An Immortal King has their pride; twice was her limit. If Lu Chen didn’t agree, she’d find her own way, even if it meant perishing alongside those three factions’ Immortal Kings. She wouldn’t become a man’s complete plaything, especially not Lu Chen’s. Moreover, his intentions weren’t just for amusement, but to use her as a breeding tool.
Lu Chen knew Yun Yudie still had her pride, much like Yun Qingshu, and that pushing too hard could backfire.
He promptly said, “Alright, I agree.”
Seeing Lu Chen agree, Yun Yudie stopped in her tracks, turning to look at him, “What do you plan to do?”
Lu Chen said, “I obtained an ancient transmission array in the Chaotic Sea, which doesn’t require a corresponding space transmission array. It can transport anything to any place in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, ignoring space locks.”
“However, the transmission requires a great deal of immortal aura. To transport the entire Mysterious Moon Palace, the current immortal aura might not suffice, but it’s worth a try.”
“And if we can’t transport the entire Mysterious Moon Palace, we can still transport all of its people.”
Yun Yudie’s frosty jade cheeks showed a hint of skepticism; this was the first she’d heard of such a transmission array existing in the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
