Chapter 1787: Chapter 1477: Could It Be That She No Longer Hates Lu Chen?
The name Lu Chen is still somewhat sensitive in the Tianyan Immortal Domain. After all, many top-level forces had sent people to besiege Lu Chen back in the days, especially the Heavenly Splendor Hall, which even dispatched an Immortal Venerate to take action against Lu Chen to eliminate him.
If the news of Lu Chen being in the Mysterious Moon Palace gets out, those top-level forces might still send people to the Mysterious Moon Palace to trouble Lu Chen.
Moreover, Lu Chen is one of the only two people known to have survived the Chaotic Sea in the history of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, the other being the Demon Emperor. Thus, these top-level forces are definitely eager to know what exactly is in the Chaotic Sea from Lu Chen.
This left some of the Elders present a bit perplexed. Many of them had followed Yun Yudie out of the Mysterious Moon Palace, so they knew well what kind of grudge Yun Yudie held against Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had eloped with the former Saintess, Yun Yudie’s sister, and even led Yun Qingshu into the Chaotic Sea, which indirectly caused Yun Qingshu’s death.
Logically speaking, Yun Yudie should be very resentful towards Lu Chen, yet now she has actually allowed Lu Chen to stay in the Mysterious Moon Palace and even took him as a nominal disciple.
They were curious, what is Yun Yudie planning?
Could it be that she no longer hates Lu Chen?
At this juncture, Yun Yudie continued, "That’s all for now, you all may leave to prepare for the recruitment of disciples."
The Elders immediately responded, "Yes, Hall Master."
...
When the Mysterious Moon Palace announced the recruitment of male disciples to the outside world, the Immortals in Immortal Cities went into an uproar.
Many had long wanted to join the Mysterious Moon Palace, but due to its policy of recruiting only female disciples, they could only stay in the Immortal Cities of the Mysterious Moon Palace. Now that the Mysterious Moon Palace is recruiting male disciples, they too could become legitimate disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace and be openly together with their couples.
Meanwhile.
Lu Chen’s courtyard.
Lu Chen was discussing something with Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun.
Cao Shiyun said worriedly, "If the Hall Master fully recovers her strength, I’m afraid..."
Lu Chen had directly told Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun about his matters with Yun Yudie, making them both quite worried.
Lu Chen is really daring, wanting to sleep with their Hall Master. Although their Hall Master had agreed, her strength hasn’t fully recovered yet, so she might have temporarily agreed. When her strength recovers, she might consider the previous matters a shame and act against Lu Chen.
Hearing Cao Shiyun’s concern, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don’t worry, even if she regains her strength, she can’t do anything to me. She’s already made a Heavenly Dao Oath not to harm me. If she truly makes a move against me, her cultivation state will no longer advance."
Despite Lu Chen’s words, Cao Shiyun still seemed worried, because in her view, Yun Yudie’s real trump card is not her own strength but her Honored Master behind her.
Although Yun Yudie had fallen out with the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable and left the Mysterious Moon Palace in a fit of anger, who could say for certain whether Yun Yudie might return to the Mysterious Moon Palace someday?
If Yun Yudie returns to the Mysterious Moon Palace to apologize to the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable, even if she can’t continue being the Saintess of the Mysterious Moon Palace, she could still stay at the Heavenly Language Peak as the Young Peak Master.
Should that day come and the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable hears about Yun Yudie’s situation, he would definitely stand up for her. If an Immortal Venerate comes to trouble Lu Chen, Lu Chen would be in real danger.
Lu Chen continued, "Senior Sister, just relax, I..."
Just as Lu Chen was about to continue comforting Cao Shiyun, the Ling Yin Immortal King appeared in the courtyard.
The Ling Yin Immortal King instinctively wanted to call Lu Chen the Great King, but did not expect Lu Chen to speak first, "What brings the Ling Yin Hall Master to me?"
The Ling Yin Immortal King was momentarily stunned and then said, "Young Master, the Hall Master intends to make the Immortal Monarchs from those affiliated forces and Immortal Cities Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace, and she would like you to help identify which among them have already betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace."
Without hesitation, Lu Chen agreed, "Alright."
The Ling Yin Immortal King said, "Then please come with me, Young Master. Those Immortal Monarchs have gathered at the Cultivation Square."
Lu Chen went without another word, following the Ling Yin Immortal King to the Cultivation Square of the outer hall, where over twenty Immortal Monarchs had already gathered.
Seeing so many Immortal Monarchs, Lu Chen wasn’t surprised. After all, the Mysterious Moon Palace has many affiliated forces and Immortal Cities. If some affiliated forces hadn’t betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace, the number of Immortal Monarchs might even double.
When the Ling Yin Immortal King brought Lu Chen over, the previously noisy Cultivation Square instantly fell silent. They naturally heard about Lu Chen’s affairs, and everyone present had witnessed the scene where Lu Chen fought against the three Evil Immortal Kings alone. Although the Mysterious Moon Palace still officially said this Chen Lu was Yun Yudie’s disciple, no one dared to regard Lu Chen merely as a disciple at this moment.
After all, the one who crushed the three Evil Immortal Kings with his own strength could not possibly be just an ordinary disciple, and those present suspected that the males among them who could join the Mysterious Moon Palace and the recruitment of male disciples this time was perhaps related to this Chen Lu.
After glancing at the people present, Lu Chen said straightforwardly, "You should have also heard, I have a Magic Treasure that can identify those who have betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace. So, if any of you have betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace, step forward immediately. Perhaps if you confess the misdeeds you committed, my Honored Master might still spare you."
"But if I find you out, I’m afraid the only road left for you is death."
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Monarchs looked at each other, saying nothing, and no one stepped forward.
Some of the Immortal Monarchs thought that this was obviously a bluff. If he truly had such a Magic Treasure, why would he need to say such nonsense?
Lu Chen sighed and said, "I’ve given you a chance. If you still harbor any illusions, then don’t blame me when you meet your end."
"Alright, let’s begin. Line up and come to me, one by one."
As Lu Chen finished speaking, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch was the first to step up to him. As the couple of the Weixue Immortal Monarch, he had long wanted to join the Mysterious Moon Palace, but unfortunately, he had his own Sect before, and the Mysterious Moon Palace did not take men.
Now that he finally had the chance to join the Mysterious Moon Palace, he naturally had to seize it.
Lu Chen gave the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch a faint glance and simply said, "Next."
Hearing this, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch and the other Immortal Monarchs present were stunned.
Just like that?
Wasn’t there supposed to be some Magic Treasure used to determine whether they had betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace? Where was the Magic Treasure?
The Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch cautiously asked, "Have I passed, or not?"
Lu Chen replied, "If you didn’t pass, my words would not be ’next.’
The Xuan Fox immediately understood Lu Chen’s implication and was overjoyed. He finally joined the Mysterious Moon Palace and became an Elder of the Mysterious Moon Palace, able to be with the Weixue Immortal Monarch for eternity and tread the grand path together.
Immediately, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch said, "Thank you, my Lord!!!"
