Chapter 1283: Who are you, how could you possibly know about this?
Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.
King Guangren's fief.
In a pavilion, King Guangren Lu Jingfu sat on a stone bench, playing Go with a man dressed in a red robe.
At this time, the man in the red robe spoke, "I heard that King Guangren is recently planning to ally with the Hall Master of Mysterious Moon Palace, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem interested in you, not even receiving your visiting card."
Hearing this, Lu Jingfu replied indifferently, "After all, she is an Immortal King, a bit of arrogance is normal."
The man in the red robe laughed and said, "King Guangren is good at comforting himself."
"It's clear that Mysterious Moon Palace has no intention of supporting you, so why warm up to a cold reception?"
Lu Jingfu said, "Did you come today just to mock me?"
The man in the red robe said, "Of course not."
"I just wanted to remind King Guangren, with so many Immortal Kings in Tianyan Immortal Domain, why fixate on just one tree?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingfu sneered, "Do you really think I'm only seeking the support of one Immortal King?"
Indeed, there are many Immortal Kings in Tianyan Immortal Domain, but he wanted to ally with Mysterious Moon Palace not just for its support, but also to get close to Yun Yudie.
The man in the red robe said, "I see, no wonder King Guangren has sent people to Mysterious Moon Palace repeatedly."
"However, winning the heart of an Immortal King is not easy."
"King Guangren is merely a Golden Immortal at present, and not the Immortal Emperor of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty. How could Yun Yudie, an Immortal King, possibly fancy you?"
King Guangren narrowed his eyes, looking coldly at the man in the red robe in front of him, "Are you truly not here to mock me?"
The man in the red robe then said, "When you reach the Immortal King Realm and become the Immortal Emperor of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, you'll have any woman you want; why dwell on Yun Yudie?"
"If you really want that position, our Blood Eagle Hall can help you."
Hearing this, King Guangren was taken aback.
"Blood Eagle Hall? You're from Blood Eagle Hall?"
The man in the red robe answered, "Yes."
"Our Blood Eagle Hall has three Immortal Kings. With the support of these three Immortal Kings, attaining that position becomes much easier."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingfu was momentarily shocked, then he laughed and said, "What does Blood Eagle Hall want in return for supporting me?"
The man in the red robe said, "We need the Qi Fortune of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty. Once you ascend to that position, establish Blood Eagle Hall as the National Religion."
The man in the red robe was very straightforward, directly proposing the conditions. Although these conditions seemed detrimental to Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, he knew Lu Jingfu's personality well — as long as he could become the Immortal Emperor, Lu Jingfu would surely agree to these terms.
Lu Jingfu frowned, his expression becoming extremely solemn. He began weighing the benefits and costs of such a decision.
After a moment, Lu Jingfu finally spoke, "Alright, I can agree."
Seeing Lu Jingfu agree, the man in the red robe smiled and said, "You've made the right choice."
"Alright, that's it for today. I must return and report. If you need anything, contact me through the jade pendant I gave you."
With that said, the man's figure vanished. After the man left, Lu Jingfu's face darkened.
Blood Eagle Hall is a force he knows all too well; Blood Eagle Hall is an evil Immortal Sect, cultivating through slaughter and blood energy.
Blood Eagle Hall wants to become the National Religion of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, likely not just for the dynasty's Qi Fortune, but also for its mortals.
Though aware of Blood Eagle Hall's malicious intent, he had no choice but to agree. The other party could choose him or his siblings; if he refused, Blood Eagle Hall would certainly collaborate with others.
Blood Eagle Hall has three Immortal Kings. With their help, any Prince of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty wouldn't be far from reaching that position.
...
Early morning.
After breakfast, Lu Chen and his company headed to Black Stone Valley.
At this time, Sikong Youpeng was already waiting in Black Stone Valley; as soon as Lu Chen and his group arrived, he could easily deal with them.
He had already scouted Lu Chen and his companions' strength last night: two Heavenly Immortals, one Earth Immortal.
For him, a Golden Immortal, killing the three was easy.
A day later, Lu Chen and his companions arrived at Black Stone Valley, a place full of open-air black stones everywhere. Of course, as someone from Earth, Lu Chen knew these stones were coal, but the people of Tianyan Immortal Domain called them black stones.
Upon arriving at Black Stone Valley, Lu Chen used Divine Sense to survey the area and found no other Immortals.
Lu Chen knew the other party was concealing their aura and wasted no time, directly leading Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun into the valley.
Just as they entered Black Stone Valley, a formation appeared beneath their feet, and they were trapped inside a blood-red barrier.
In the next moment, a figure appeared in Black Stone Valley.
"Young Master Chen, long time no see!"
Lu Chen turned to look at Sikong Youpeng, indeed finding it was Sikong Youpeng.
Upon seeing Sikong Youpeng, Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun immediately drew their swords, watching him cautiously while Lu Chen remained calm and said, "May I know what this senior wants from me?"
Sikong Youpeng snorted coldly, "Didn't you claim to be from Tianxia Immortal Dynasty?"
Lu Chen said, "I lived in Tianxia Immortal Dynasty for a while, so I'm considered one of its people."
Sikong Youpeng scoffed, "Should I say you are brave or foolish. Despite knowing that Sky Wolf City is controlled by my Chiyan Sect, you dared to come."
"Since you're determined to die, I'll fulfill your wish."
Saying this, Sikong Youpeng prepared to attack Lu Chen and his companions, yet Lu Chen unhurriedly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, you are not truly from Chiyan Sect, are you?"
Sikong Youpeng hesitated, he thought his identity was secret, and yet this person, who had met him twice, could immediately discern he wasn't from Chiyan Sect?
Sikong Youpeng said, "Ridiculous! I am an Inner Sect Elder of Chiyan Sect."
"I am a Direct Disciple of the Hall Master of Mysterious Moon Palace. If you were truly an Elder of Chiyan Sect, even capturing me would not end in death."
"If I die, it will certainly trigger an all-out war between the two great Immortal Sects."
"In my view, you are from Blood Eagle Hall, seeking to incite conflict between the two Immortal Sects. Once they are both weakened, Blood Eagle Hall would then annihilate Chiyan Sect and Mysterious Moon Palace."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Sikong Youpeng was stunned. He never expected the conspiracy of Blood Eagle Hall to be easily identified by this person.
How is this possible?
He was sent as a spy in Chiyan Sect by their Hall Master, a secret only known to them. How could someone immediately see through it?
Sikong Youpeng warily watched Lu Chen, "Who are you! How could you know this!"
He now found Lu Chen's identity as the Direct Disciple of the Hall Master of Mysterious Moon Palace not so simple.
