Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

After the banquet ended, Lu Chen moved into the courtyard arranged by Ding Qingfeng, with Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun also staying in the same courtyard.

The two women went directly to Lu Chen's room and set up a sound insulation array.

Xiao Xueying said, "I suppose the Chiyan Sect has already sent people to ambush us in Black Stone Valley. But why wouldn't they attack us directly in Sky Wolf City? Why bother with the extra step?"

Cao Shiyun said, "Black Stone Valley is about a day's journey from Sky Wolf City. Perhaps the Chiyan Sect doesn't want the Mysterious Moon Palace to find out that they are behind the attack on Lu Chen."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Although Black Stone Valley is a day's journey from Sky Wolf City, it's still considered to be next to the Chiyan Sect. If anything happens to me, the Mysterious Moon Palace would still think it was the Chiyan Sect."

"So it makes no difference where they attack me. I suspect that they didn't attack in Sky Wolf City because it's too close to the Chiyan Sect. If they fail to eliminate me immediately, it could attract other members of the Chiyan Sect."

Upon hearing this, Cao Shiyun asked puzzled, "Junior Brother, doesn't the Chiyan Sect want to harm you? Why would the people attacking you worry about other Chiyan Sect members coming?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Those targeting me may not necessarily be from the Chiyan Sect."

This...

The two women were stunned.

Not from the Chiyan Sect?

The Chiyan Sect and the Mysterious Moon Palace are adjacent, and the Chiyan Sect now controls Sky Wolf City. If not the Chiyan Sect targeting Lu Chen, then who else could it be?

Lu Chen thought to himself, if it weren't for his system that could identify others' identities—even those with hidden identities—he might really have thought it was the Chiyan Sect wanting to harm him.

He recalled seeing that person on the way to Sky Wolf City. That Golden Immortal clearly had two identities; evidently, he was sent by the Blood Eagle Hall to infiltrate the Chiyan Sect. He came to kill me, likely to instigate a war between the Mysterious Moon Palace and the Chiyan Sect, and then reap the benefits.

Such schemes are all too common in the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

Lu Chen continued, "Someone wants to kill me and then instigate a war between the Mysterious Moon Palace and the Chiyan Sect."

Xiao Xueying furrowed her brows and asked seriously, "Junior Brother Chen, how do you know this?"

Lu Chen said, "Do you remember the Golden Immortal we encountered on our way to Sky Wolf City?"

Xiao Xueying said, "I remember, you said he was from the Chiyan Sect."

Lu Chen said, "Officially, he is an Elder of the Chiyan Sect, but he has another identity as an Elder of the Blood Eagle Hall."

The two women exclaimed simultaneously, "Blood Eagle Hall!"

Seeing their surprised reactions, Lu Chen curiously asked, "Judging by your reactions, you must be aware of the Blood Eagle Hall."

Lu Chen hadn't returned to the Tianyan Immortal Domain for billions of years, and the power structure had changed significantly, with some new forces emerging and old ones disappearing. He had never heard of the Blood Eagle Hall.

Cao Shiyun was gazing into Lu Chen's eyes, "Junior Brother Chen, is that person really an Elder of the Blood Eagle Hall?"

Lu Chen said, "Yes, I have a magic treasure that can identify a person's true identity."

"Senior Sister Cao, what kind of force is this Blood Eagle Hall that surprises you so much?"

Cao Shiyun said, "The Blood Eagle Hall is a force that has emerged in the last ten thousand years. It's an evil Immortal Sect with eerie Immortal Laws that can suppress the Immortal Aura within us."

"The Blood Eagle Hall has developed very rapidly. Rumor has it that it now has three Immortal Kings, and one is already attempting to break through to the Immortal Venerate Realm."

Upon hearing this, for some reason, Lu Chen thought of demonic cultivators.

He once practiced the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique inside the Chaos Beast's belly, but he wasn't sure if it would be effective against the Evil Immortals of the Blood Eagle Hall.

Lu Chen then asked in his mind, "System, does the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique I've practiced have a suppressive effect on Evil Immortals?"

The system replied, "It has a certain suppressive effect, but compared with the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique, the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture has a stronger suppression on Evil Immortals."

Lu Chen's mind jolted; it turns out the system had long prepared a countermeasure for him. He couldn't help but wonder if the system could foresee the future.

Xiao Xueying said at this time, "Junior Brother, if that person is indeed an Elder of the Blood Eagle Hall, this matter must be reported."

"The Blood Eagle Hall wants to instigate a war between the Mysterious Moon Palace and the Chiyan Sect, surely to eliminate both of our Immortal Sects while we are weakened."

"The Blood Eagle Hall has been expanding for years and cannot be taken lightly."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, you two should report what's happened here to the Mysterious Moon Palace."

Cao Shiyun then removed the sound insulation barrier and, risking being discovered, took out a sound transmission talisman intending to report Lu Chen's findings to the Mysterious Moon Palace.

But the next moment, Cao Shiyun discovered that her sound transmission talisman had lost its function. Her expression changed, and she quickly told Xiao Xueying and Lu Chen, "Something's wrong, the sound transmission talisman has failed!"

The failure of the sound transmission talisman meant that Sikong Youpeng had set up a great array, rendering the talisman ineffective.

Xiao Xueying said, "What do we do now?"

Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun, then said, "Senior Sister Cao, how about you go back and report this matter to the Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace personally?"

Xiao Xueying said, "That person is likely watching us from the shadows. If Junior Sister Cao were to leave now, she'd be in danger. That person won't let her go back to report."

Lu Chen said, "This is simple, tomorrow when we head to Black Stone Valley, we'll lure that person out, and then Senior Sister Cao can return to the Mysterious Moon Palace."

Cao Shiyun said, "What about you two?"

"Since the Blood Eagle Hall wants to instigate a war between the Mysterious Moon Palace and the Chiyan Sect, they surely won't let you off."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Besides the jade scroll, my honored master left me other life-saving treasures, Senior Sister Cao, don't worry."

Cao Shiyun pondered for a moment and said, "Alright then, once I'm outside his formation's range, I'll immediately use a sound transmission talisman to report this matter to the Mysterious Moon Palace."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, let's rest for today."

"Okay." The two women said in unison and then left Lu Chen's room.

Under the cover of night.

A shadowy figure appeared in the City Lord's Mansion study.

Ding Qingfeng respectfully said to Sikong Youpeng, "Immortal, the plan is successful. The emissaries from the Mysterious Moon Palace are preparing to go to Black Stone Valley tomorrow."

Sikong Youpeng said indifferently, "You did well; once the matter is settled, you can join my faction."

Ding Qingfeng, excited, knelt on the ground, continually kowtowing and saying, "Thank you, Immortal!"

Sikong Youpeng then glanced towards the courtyard where Lu Chen was staying, the corners of his mouth rising slightly, revealing a hint of a mysterious smile.

As soon as the direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace's Hall Master is dead, the Mysterious Moon Palace will surely wage war against the Chiyan Sect. It wouldn't be long before these two Immortal Sects disappear.
