Chapter 1687: Chapter 1377: Lu Chen’s Plan
Lu Zhengze arrived outside Lu Chen’s cultivation chamber, anxiously saying, "My King, something major has happened!"
Lu Zhengze feared that Lu Chen might be in seclusion at this moment, and if he was, he probably wouldn’t awaken any time soon.
Now that his identity has been exposed, it won’t be long before someone comes to the Land of Chaos, making this place unsuitable to stay.
As Lu Zhengze’s words fell, seeing no movement inside the cultivation chamber, Lu Zhengze shouted again, "My King, your return has been leaked; now all major forces in the Southern Domain know you are in the Land of Chaos!"
Following Lu Zhengze’s words, Lu Chen inside the cultivation chamber suddenly opened his eyes. He had been focusing all his attention on Xu Jingshu and had neglected the matters of the Land of Chaos.
However, he had just relaxed when his Divine Soul slightly manipulated this clone in the Land of Chaos and heard Lu Zhengze mention that the news of his return had leaked. This instantly triggered a strong sense of crisis in Lu Chen.
He knew that the news of his return would sooner or later be known by other forces, as there are no walls completely without wind, especially in a world where many Immortals possess deduction techniques.
He just didn’t expect that so soon, the news of his return had spread throughout the Southern Domain.
Was it Lu Jing who leaked it?
Probably not, as Lu Jing intended to kill with borrowed knives, hoping he could deal with Lu Jingfu for him, it’s impossible for Lu Jing to leak the news at this moment. If he were to leak it, he would do so after Lu Chen had dealt with Lu Jingfu.
Lu Chen rubbed his temples; now thinking about who spread the news is no longer meaningful. The immediate concern is how to respond.
Since the news of his return is already known by all major forces in the Southern Domain, it won’t be long before some forces come to attack him.
They must know that his cultivation state has not yet recovered, wishing to eliminate a threat like him in its cradle.
Lu Chen immediately stood up and emerged from the secret chamber; seeing Lu Chen come out, Lu Zhengze slightly relaxed, fortunately, the Chen King had not secluded himself.
Lu Zhengze proactively suggested, "My King, should we leave the Land of Chaos now?"
The Land of Chaos is not a good place; not only does it lack Immortal Aura, but it often faces invasions of Chaos Qi, being close to the Chaotic Sea.
For Lu Chen, this place can only serve as a temporary foothold; now that he has been discovered, it is a good opportunity to leave.
Lu Chen did not immediately respond to Lu Zhengze; he began to ponder where he should develop next.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen thought of a perfect plan and said, "I will go directly to King Guangren’s territory next. You don’t need to leave for now; if you encounter any danger, use the transmission array I left to reach Shangsha City of the Mysterious Moon Palace."
Lu Chen had long anticipated this day might come, so he had left transmission arrays in some inconspicuous cities of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Initially, his power was insufficient, and due to the laws of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, the transmission arrays he constructed couldn’t reach such distances. However, if he borrowed the power of the Immortal King’s Remain Curse, the transmission arrays should allow Lu Zhengze and the others to directly transfer to Shangsha City.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengze hurriedly replied, "My King, absolutely not. Many strong ones have gathered around King Guangren. If you go to his territory, there might be danger..."
Before Lu Zhengze could finish, Lu Chen interrupted, "I am just a clone now. I will sacrifice this clone, performing a Golden Cicada Shell move, and no one will pay attention to the Land of Chaos, allowing you to develop there securely."
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Lu Zhengze realized that indeed, if Lu Chen left the Land of Chaos, this place lacking Immortal Aura wouldn’t attract the attention of those top forces in the Southern Domain.
At first, he left so many people in the Land of Chaos, and as he entered the Chaotic Sea, those top forces in the Southern Domain retreated directly, not even clearing out Lu Zhengze and his old subordinates.
To those top forces in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, they only need him—the threat—to die, as they don’t care about minor figures, believing they can’t cause any waves.
Thus, Lu Chen decided to show himself briefly to Lu Jingfu, taking the opportunity to deal with him. Then, a self-detonation would make people think he was dead, ensuring no one cares about the Land of Chaos, and they can continue managing it.
After capturing Yun Yudie in the future, he plans to move the people of the Land of Chaos to the Mysterious Moon Palace’s territory and establish a country there.
Lu Chen then said, "Alright, it’s decided."
With that, Lu Chen used Creation Power again to create a Spirit Immortal Realm body.
Then, he used the power of the Immortal King’s Remain Curse to construct a large transmission array.
Once the transmission array was completed, he controlled the body in the Earth Immortal Realm to travel to Shangsha City via the transmission array. After verifying the transmission array worked, Lu Chen headed directly to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.
Moreover, on the way to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, he actively spread the news that the Chen King vowed revenge and would soon appear in King Guangren’s territory.
This shifted the attention of those forces in the Tianyan Immortal Domain to Lu Jingfu’s domain, no longer focusing on the Land of Chaos.
Initially, he planned to take it slow, seeking revenge on Lu Jingfu once his strength was restored. But with the news of his return leaking so quickly, he had no choice.
The news of the Chen King’s return, spread by Lu Jingfu, immediately alarmed all Immortal King-level forces in the Southern Domain, especially those who had besieged the Chen King’s territory.
They knew Lu Chen’s talent was terrifying; once his strength recovered, an Immortal King possesses nearly Immortal Venerable level power. If not for the intervention of the Immortal Venerate from the Tianyan Immortal Domain, Lu Chen wouldn’t have been forced into the Chaotic Sea.
For a time, people were anxious, and some leaders of Immortal King-level forces went to Heavenly Splendor Hall, seeking the Immortal Venerate’s help to eliminate Lu Chen. However, unexpectedly, Heavenly Splendor Hall issued an Immortal Order, commanding those Immortal King-level forces to round up Lu Chen.
In the view of Heavenly Splendor Hall, even if Lu Chen returned, his strength is basically not much left, much like the Demon Emperor coming out of the Chaotic Sea with his power plummeting to Immortal King Realm, let alone Lu Chen.
The current Lu Chen is not considered a threat, so there is no need for the Immortal Venerate of Heavenly Splendor Hall to act. Besides, their attention is on the Demon Emperor, leaving no time to focus on a weakened Immortal King.
Meanwhile.
Mysterious Moon Palace.
In Yun Yudie’s bedchamber, Yun Yudie looked at the intelligence in her hand, displaying an expression of disbelief. Following this, cold air emanated from Yun Yudie’s body, enveloping the entire Moon Palace.
The Elders of Mysterious Moon Palace thought something was amiss and quickly arrived at Yun Yudie’s bedchamber.
Upon entering Yun Yudie’s abode, they found Yun Yudie standing in the hall, full of murderous intent.
Ling Yin Immortal King proactively asked, "Hall Master, what has happened?"
Yun Yudie didn’t speak, directly throwing the Jade Scroll in her hand before the group, and Ling Yin Immortal King immediately read the intelligence within.
