Chapter 1290: I don't believe that as an Immortal Monarch, I still can't kill you
In the following month, Lu Chen cultivated his relationship with Xiao Xueying while sharing stories of his experiences in the Chaotic Sea.
Of course, he didn't tell Xiao Xueying about the system; he only told her how he encountered his past life's wives and concubines and how he found them one by one.
Each time Xiao Xueying heard about Lu Chen finding a wife or concubine, a small emotion would rise within her, causing her to lose control over her body.
This made Lu Chen find it very intriguing; he never expected Xiao Xueying to get feelings from just listening to stories.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
After spending this month together, Xiao Xueying had gradually opened up, no longer as shy as she was at the start. After all, she's lived for billions of years, so she adapts quickly, especially since Lu Chen is the man she admires.
At this moment, Xiao Xueying was sitting on Lu Chen, curiously asking, "Hmm… Since Junior Brother cultivates the Creation Dao, I suppose you're particularly… oh… good at creating life..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and asked, "Which kind of life is Senior Sister referring to?"
The fairy replied shamelessly, "Naturally… the Human Race."
Lu Chen said, "Right now, the Path of Reproduction in the Tianyan Immortal Domain seems to be restrained by some force. Even if I cultivate the Creation Dao, creating children is very difficult."
At this point, Lu Chen gazed into Xiao Xueying's misty eyes, "But immortals have long lives, so there's no rush with such matters."
Xiao Xueying raised her jade-like neck, like a proud swan, taking a long breath and said, "Junior Brother… is saying..."
At this very moment.
Inside a certain inn room in Sky Wolf City.
A woman dressed in red sat upright on the bed, extending her Divine Sense outward, listening to various discussions in the streets, taverns, and brothels.
"I've long disliked that Ding fellow. Daring to betray the Mysterious Moon Palace, he deserved to be captured by the special envoy."
"Do you think Ding Qingfeng's spirit has been shattered by now?"
"Not yet; he and those noble families that sided with the Chiyan Sect were all captured by the special envoy."
"Ding Qingfeng and those noble families betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace; logically, they should've been executed, right? Why are they still imprisoned after a month?"
"Who knows? Maybe the special envoy needs them as witnesses since this involves the Chiyan Sect."
"I heard that this special envoy isn't an ordinary envoy, but the direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master."
"Really?"
...
Upon hearing discussions from kilometers around, a hint of confusion appeared on Xu Jingshu's cold face.
The Ghostly Evil Immortal King told her that the Chiyan Sect and the Mysterious Moon Palace were about to go to war; but from the situation in Sky Wolf City, it doesn't seem like war is imminent at all.
If the two Great Immortal Sects were truly on the brink of war, the atmosphere in Sky Wolf City would be quite different. What exactly is happening?
Xu Jingshu immediately took out a sheet of talisman paper and communicated with the Ghostly Evil Immortal King, reporting the current situation in Sky Wolf City.
A day later.
Blood Eagle Hall, certain Corpse Peak.
The Ghostly Evil Immortal King stood atop Corpse Peak, gazing into the distant blood sea, when a light dot appeared before him. With a casual lift of his hand, the message from the light dot entered his mind.
After listening to Xu Jingshu's report, the Ghostly Evil Immortal King's brow furrowed.
The direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master is still alive?
How is that possible?
Didn't Sikong Youpeng say he went to kill him? Sikong Youpeng also said that Chen Lu is only at the Earth Immortal Realm and the two female disciples protecting Chen Lu are only at the Heavenly Immortal Cultivation State.
A Golden Immortal like Sikong Youpeng shouldn't have any problem killing two Heavenly Immortals and one Earth Immortal.
Moreover, their Immortal Aura has a terrifying suppressive effect on normal immortals.
How is Chen Lu still alive?
And there's no sign of the two Great Immortal Sects going to war.
The Ghostly Evil Immortal King's figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared in a cavern illuminated by countless blood lamps. He looked towards Sikong Youpeng's blood lamp and found it extinguished.
An extinguished blood lamp signifies that its owner has already perished.
This…
Sikong Youpeng, a Golden Immortal, ambushed an Earth Immortal and two Heavenly Immortals, yet failed and was killed instead?
The Ghostly Evil Immortal King snorted coldly, "What a waste!"
He then communicated with Xu Jingshu, instructing her not to act rashly.
Xu Jingshu is the Saintess of the Blood Eagle Hall; she cannot afford any mishaps. As for Chen Lu, he must die!
However, Xu Jingshu doesn't need to take action herself.
If a Golden Immortal can't kill Chen Lu, then send an Immortal Monarch.
But once an Immortal Monarch reaches Sky Wolf City, it may attract the attention of the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master or the Chiyan Sect Sect Master.
The Ghostly Evil Immortal King then communicated with someone, "Tian Xiao, come to me."
With those words, a bloodied man appeared before the Ghostly Evil Immortal King, "Hall Master, what do you need from me?"
The Ghostly Evil Immortal King said, "The direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master is in Sky Wolf City; go kill him and frame the Chiyan Sect to provoke a war between the Mysterious Moon Palace and Chiyan Sect."
Upon hearing this, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao's lips slightly curled up, "I'll go right now!"
Immortal Monarch Tianxiao didn't even ask about Lu Chen's strength. In his view, since the Ghostly Evil Immortal King instructed him to kill the target, the target must be weaker than him; asking about the target's strength would be redundant.
With those words, Immortal Monarch Tianxiao turned into a light dot and flew towards Sky Wolf City.
Watching the blood-red light point in the distance, the Ghostly Evil Immortal King said, "I don't believe even an Immortal Monarch can't kill you."
...
At this very moment, Lu Chen and Xiao Xueying were still unaware that the Ghostly Evil Immortal King had dispatched an Immortal Monarch. They continued to explore the Creation Dao.
Meanwhile, back at the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Upon returning, Cao Shiyun immediately reported the events of Sky Wolf City to Ye Chuyao, who hurriedly gathered all the Inner Sect Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace to discuss the situation.
The Elders were puzzled by Ye Chuyao's urgent summon of all Inner Sect Elders. Ordinarily, the sect wouldn't gather all Inner Sect Elders unless there was an enemy attack on the Mysterious Moon Palace.
However, they hadn't detected any enemy attacks on the Mysterious Moon Palace.
The Inner Sect Elders, all at the Immortal Monarch Level, were highly attuned to events within the Mysterious Moon Palace's territory. If there was an attack, they'd surely be aware of it.
Ye Chuyao, seated on the Hall Master's Ice Crystal Chair, glanced over the Inner Sect Elders below, "Since everyone is here, Junior Sister Cao, please explain what happened in Sky Wolf City."
At the mention of "Sky Wolf City," some Inner Sect Elders immediately had foreboding thoughts.
Cao Shiyun then said, "I accompanied Junior Brother Chen to Sky Wolf City to train, and as soon as we arrived, we discovered that the City Lord of Sky Wolf City and the major noble families were colluding with the Chiyan Sect..."
At this point, an Elder suddenly interrupted, "Shiyun, why have you returned alone? What happened to Chen Lu?"
