Chapter 1786: Chapter 1476: Changes in the Mysterious Moon Palace
Seeing Lu Chen staring at her, a trace of displeasure flashed across Yun Yudie’s beautiful eyes.
At this time, Lu Chen said, "Honored Master, I helped you get rid of the crisis of Mysterious Moon Palace, but you exposed my identity. Isn’t that inappropriate?"
Yun Yudie said expressionlessly, "She is my disciple; I don’t want her to go astray."
Lu Chen then glanced at Yun Yudie from head to toe. Today, Yun Yudie wore simple white clothes, her cloud-like hair tied high, with fewer ornaments than usual, yet still appearing cold and noble.
Seeing Lu Chen’s gaze suddenly fixed on her, and his eyes seemed somewhat fervent, Yun Yudie’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, she suddenly remembered her transaction with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said, "Now that the crisis of Mysterious Moon Palace has been resolved, shouldn’t Honored Master fulfill the promise?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yudie’s face showed no change in expression. She indifferently said "Okay," then voluntarily walked over to her soft couch.
Regarding such a transaction, she was not going to go back on it; regardless of who Lu Chen was, after all, Lu Chen did save the entire Mysterious Moon Palace.
Seeing that Yun Yudie did not renege, however, surprised Lu Chen a bit. He smiled and said, "No need to rush, since the Concealing Array of Mysterious Moon Palace has been destroyed, if it’s repaired, people below won’t see the sun."
"Honored Master should repair the array first, after it’s fixed, I’ll come find Honored Master."
Hearing Lu Chen addressing her as Honored Master repeatedly, Yun Yudie felt extremely awkward inside, but she didn’t say more, only uttered two words, "Can do."
Soon, Yun Yudie’s figure transformed into ice crystals and vanished on the spot.
After Yun Yudie left the sleeping palace, Lu Chen showed a smile. Yun Yudie only agreed to the transaction twice, without specifying for how long.
Once a day is also once, and once a decade is also once. For them, Immortals, not eating or drinking while secluded in cultivation for millennia is normal. After Yun Yudie handles the matters of Mysterious Moon Palace, he will practice Dual Cultivation with Yun Yudie, allowing him to cultivate for as long as he wishes.
Twice, perhaps each lasting a century wouldn’t be unacceptable.
Yun Yudie did not know Lu Chen’s thoughts; what she meant by twice was about the same duration as mortals do that kind of thing.
After Yun Yudie left the sleeping palace, she immediately led the Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace to repair the various formations of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
This time, repairing the formations consumed a large amount of Immortal Crystals of Mysterious Moon Palace. However, fortunately, the Mysterious Moon Palace was still wealthy enough, not yet lacking Immortal Crystals.
After the formations were repaired, Yun Yudie summoned all the Elders to the Meeting Hall; although Mysterious Moon Palace had temporarily overcome the crisis, there were still more things to do.
Firstly, they had left the territory they had been running for billions of years. Although they were not short of Immortal Crystals now, if things continued like this, Mysterious Moon Palace would eventually exhaust its resources.
Therefore, the Mysterious Moon Palace must expand its territory again, but to expand the territory, it would inevitably conflict with some forces in the Barbaric areas.
Tianyan Immortal Domain is vast, but most places where Immortal Aura is dense have already been occupied. There are almost no areas in Tianyan Immortal Domain that have not been touched.
To gain more territory, it must be taken from others, and taking territory will naturally lead to war.
Tianyan Immortal Domain is cruel, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.
Eventually, after discussions by the Elders, they decided to first explore the surroundings, to see if there were any other Immortal Sects or powerful entities nearby. If there were none, then they’d establish this area as the sphere of influence of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Mysterious Moon Palace had just experienced war, so the Elders present planned to subdue those sects through peaceful means as much as possible, avoiding war if possible.
After finishing the discussion about expanding territory, Ling Yin Immortal King then asked, "Hall Master, what should be done with those people of the Immortal City?"
Before teleportation, Mysterious Moon Palace took all Immortals from the Immortal City below to Mysterious Moon Palace, numbering in the millions. These millions of people followed Mysterious Moon Palace to this Barbaric place, Mysterious Moon Palace must settle them properly.
Yun Yudie was silent for a moment, she glanced at the Elders present, most of whom had partners, and those partners had followed to Mysterious Moon Palace, such as the partner of Weixue Immortal Monarch.
These Elders’ partners were either Sect Masters or Elders from some affiliated forces of Mysterious Moon Palace. They had stayed loyal to Mysterious Moon Palace until the last moment, even when their affiliated forces were wiped out by Blood Eagle Hall and its allies, they continued to assist Mysterious Moon Palace to resist those forces.
Now their own forces were gone, if they were not provided with a good place, it would be unreasonable.
Very quickly, a plan emerged in Yun Yudie’s mind, although she felt some reluctance about it.
Due to the matter between Lu Chen and her sister, she had been quite repulsed by romance between men and women, and disliked men to some extent. That’s why Mysterious Moon Palace prohibits any men from joining.
However, now that Lu Chen has come to Mysterious Moon Palace, and she herself will soon practice Dual Cultivation with that scoundrel, there’s no point in holding onto her old views.
At this moment, Yun Yudie directly announced, "Next, I’ll conduct disciple selection. Regardless of gender, anyone who passes the test can become a disciple of Mysterious Moon Palace."
Upon hearing Yun Yudie’s words, the Elders present were stunned, clearly not expecting her to be willing to recruit male disciples.
Oh no, hadn’t your Hall Master already recruited male disciples...
Only that male disciple seemed not to be just a simple male disciple.
When they were in the cultivation space, they all heard Yun Yudie’s words, and learned that Chen Lu is actually Lu Chen.
Nonetheless, this is a significant change for the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Ling Yin Immortal King then continued to ask, "And... what about those Sect Masters or Elders from the affiliated forces, how should they be arranged?"
Ling Yin Immortal King thought, those Sect Masters and Elders from affiliated forces lost everything for Mysterious Moon Palace, naturally, they shouldn’t be let down. Since Mysterious Moon Palace is now recruiting male disciples, those Sect Masters and Elders from affiliated sects should be recruited as well.
Yun Yudie said, "Those at Immortal Monarch Cultivation State should go to Lu Chen, let him examine them to see if they have betrayed Mysterious Moon Palace. If they haven’t, they can become Outer Hall Elders, if they perform well, they will be promoted to Inner Hall Elders."
Yun Yudie thought deep down, regardless of whether Lu Chen has the means to check their loyalty to Mysterious Moon Palace, as long as this news is spread, those who have indeed betrayed will surely become restless and reveal themselves.
If Lu Chen has a method to discern their loyalty, it would be even more convenient, just identify the traitors and deal with them accordingly.
She wasn’t concerned about Lu Chen causing trouble in this matter, considering that half of Mysterious Moon Palace was already under Lu Chen’s control. Adding that Lu Chen was her sister’s man, and that scoundrel had an interest in her, he shouldn’t do harm now.
Upon Yun Yudie mentioning Lu Chen’s name directly, the Elders present fell into silence.
Yun Yudie then realized and added, "From now on, you shall continue to address him as Chen Lu."
