Chapter 1788: Chapter 1478: From Today On, You Are an Inner Hall Elder of the Mysterious Moon Palace
Upon hearing the address of Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch, Lu Chen said, “I’m only a disciple of the Moon Palace, and from now on, you are an elder of the Mysterious Moon Palace. There’s no need to call me ‘lord’.”
Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch replied with a broad smile, “As you say, lord.”
He’s not a fool. Someone who can suppress three Evil Immortal Kings alone can’t possibly be an ordinary disciple.
Although Lu Chen said this, they still needed to show respect where respect was due.
Lu Chen said casually, “After the inspection, stand aside. You might be needed later.”
Upon hearing these words, Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch felt a surge of joy. Needed for something? Could it be true that he could establish merit just after joining the Mysterious Moon Palace?
After saying “Yes,” Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch immediately stood aside.
When Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch stood aside, another Immortal Monarch approached Lu Chen. Lu Chen similarly only gave him a glance, then directed him to stand aside.
In just a moment, there were only five Immortal Monarchs left in the arena, causing the remaining ones to further doubt if the Mysterious Moon Palace was bluffing. How could merely a glance determine whether someone had betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace?
Those Immortals skilled in Deduction Techniques need at least a deduction. If Lu Chen had Magic Treasures, he would surely use them.
Yet Lu Chen merely gave a simple glance, without using Deduction Techniques or any Magic Treasures. Could he really discern who had betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace?
As people were pondering this, an Immortal Monarch in a gray robe approached Lu Chen. After glancing at this Immortal Monarch, Lu Chen plainly said to Ling Yin Immortal King beside him, “The Blood Eagle Hall spy—can be executed.”
The sudden words left everyone stunned. They had always thought Lu Chen was bluffing, believing he lacked any ability to identify traitors, so it was likely everyone would pass the test. But now, someone hadn’t passed?
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the Immortal Monarch intended to stir up trouble, trying to leverage public opinion pressure to make the Mysterious Moon Palace hesitate in taking action against him.
After all, he was here to join the Mysterious Moon Palace, and he wasn’t the only one joining. The Mysterious Moon Palace couldn’t just arrest anyone and say they were part of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
If that were the case, tomorrow they could label anyone as a spy from another faction, making everyone fearful.
However, unexpectedly for that Immortal Monarch, before he could begin speaking, he felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Ling Yin Immortal King.
Ling Yin Immortal King gave him no chance to plead for innocence, immediately drawing an Ancient Zither and plucking the strings a few times. The next moment, a terrifying sound turned into a visible Sword Qi charging towards the Immortal Monarch.
The Immortal Monarch, seeing the Mysterious Moon Palace attacking him without consequence, realized his chance to twist things had vanished. He didn’t hesitate, and his body turned into a fleeting shadow, trying to escape the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Seeing that person try to flee, people were surprised—was that person really a spy from Blood Eagle Hall?
Just as people were still processing this, Ling Yin Immortal King’s body vanished from her spot, directly chasing after the fleeing Immortal Monarch.
After they left, Lu Chen’s gaze fell on the remaining Immortal Monarchs, “Continue.”
Upon hearing this, the remaining Immortal Monarchs were momentarily stunned.
At this point, another Immortal Monarch, anxiously, approached Lu Chen. Lu Chen again said, “A person from Blood Eagle Hall—can be executed.”
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch directly took action. He finally understood why Lu Chen mentioned earlier that he might be needed later.
If he helped the Mysterious Moon Palace kill this traitor, it would count as meritorious service for the palace.
Seeing Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch directly attack, the Immortal Monarch, like the previous fleeing Immortal Monarch, chose not to defend himself. He speculated that perhaps the Mysterious Moon Palace had long known of their betrayal, and this was just a show, using them as an example to warn the Immortal Monarchs joining the palace.
Doing this was to tell them that Chen Lu could truly discern those who betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace.
By now, the remaining Immortal Monarchs realized their betrayal might have been exposed. At this point, no matter what defense they offered, the Mysterious Moon Palace would probably strike them down.
The next moment, without hesitation, the remaining Immortal Monarchs turned into shadows and vanished from the Cultivation Square. Seeing those Immortal Monarchs flee, the Immortal Monarchs who had joined the Outer Hall quickly reacted and chased after them.
Clearly, fleeing now showed a guilty conscience.
Under the joint efforts of Ling Yin Immortal King and the Immortal Monarchs who had just joined the Outer Hall, it didn’t take long to slay those traitors.
After clearing out the traitors, Ling Yin Immortal King and the other Immortal Monarchs returned to Lu Chen. Lu Chen smiled at Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch and the others, saying, “Congratulations, from today you are elders of the Outer Hall of Mysterious Moon Palace. As for when you can become Inner Hall elders, that depends on your contributions.”
“That’s all.”
After speaking, Lu Chen turned and left, while Ling Yin Immortal King stayed behind to tell Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch and the others about the palace rules.
Lu Chen had just returned to the courtyard to find Yun Yudie waiting for him there. Lu Chen couldn’t help but wonder if Yun Yudie was so anxious. With so much work left, even as a man, he’s not in such a rush.
As Lu Chen assumed Yun Yudie was there to claim a promise, Yun Yudie instead said, “From today on, you are an Inner Hall elder of the Mysterious Moon Palace.”
Lu Chen had saved the Mysterious Moon Palace, and with such strength, he couldn’t continue as a mere disciple—it’s time for him to have an identity.
Upon hearing Yun Yudie’s words, Lu Chen was slightly startled, realizing it was about this matter. He had thought Yun Yudie came for the promise.
Lu Chen didn’t refuse. His identity in the Mysterious Moon Palace no longer mattered. Seeing Yun Yudie’s demeanor, she probably wouldn’t act against him, especially considering her sister’s situation, and besides, she had made a Heavenly Dao Oath.
Lu Chen said, “Okay.”
At this moment, Yun Yudie took out a Jade Pendant from the Space Ring and tossed it to Lu Chen, “This is your Identity Token.”
Lu Chen immediately caught the token and glanced at it. The token showed the character “Chen,” indicating Yun Yudie intended to keep him as Chen Lu, not planning to reveal his identity to everyone.
He’s not particularly concerned about his identity being exposed now, considering his numerous clones—it wouldn’t be easy to kill him.
Yun Yudie said nothing further and disappeared after leaving the Jade Pendant.
