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

Outside Sky Wolf City, an elderly man with graying hair hovered in the air, clad in a deep red robe, emitting fierce flames.

Immortal Monarch Lingyin then appeared outside Sky Wolf City with Lu Chen.

Seeing Immortal Monarch Lingyin, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch felt a bit puzzled, wondering why she sought him.

Although the Chiyan Sect and Mysterious Moon Palace were adjacent, interactions between their upper echelons were rare.

At this moment, Immortal Monarch Lingyin threw out everyone from the spiritual clothes space and then said to Black Cloud Immortal Monarch, "Black Cloud Immortal Monarch should first conduct a soul search on them."

This...

Black Cloud Immortal Monarch glanced at the people present and then released immortal aura, directly conducting a soul search on Ding Qingfeng and the group from the Aristocratic Family.

When he saw the conversation between Ding Qingfeng and Sikong Youpeng through the soul search, he was stunned.

He hadn't expected that Sikong Youpeng, an Inner Sect Elder, would act on his own and run off to assassinate the direct disciple of the Hall Master of Mysterious Moon Palace.

If the direct disciple of Mysterious Moon Palace's Hall Master really died, the two Great Immortal Sects would likely be at an eternal impasse.

The upper echelons of the Chiyan Sect had always been aware of Sky Wolf City's desire to join them, and the reason they had not taken Sky Wolf City under their rule was that they didn't want to clash with Mysterious Moon Palace.

As an Inner Sect Elder, Sikong Youpeng couldn't possibly be unaware of the Chiyan Sect leadership's stance.

After completing the soul search, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch hurriedly said, "Immortal Monarch Lingyin, the assassination attempt on your Hall Master's direct disciple was not sanctioned by our Sect; it was Sikong Youpeng acting on his own."

Saying this, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch's gaze fell on Lu Chen, and he immediately said, "This young friend must be the direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Immortal King. On behalf of the Chiyan Sect, I apologize for this incident. The Chiyan Sect is willing to offer an Earth Rank Immortal treasure as compensation."

"I hope the young friend can forgive the Chiyan Sect's negligence."

Immortal Monarch Lingyin said, "Is Black Cloud Immortal Monarch not curious why your Inner Sect Elder attacked my Hall Master's direct disciple?"

Hearing this from Immortal Monarch Lingyin, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch was slightly taken aback, indeed puzzled by Sikong Youpeng's actions.

Black Cloud Immortal Monarch said, "Could it be that this young friend has some misunderstanding with Sikong Youpeng?"

Immortal Monarch Lingyin said, "Naturally not."

"It's because your elder is an undercover from Blood Eagle Hall. His attack on Chen Lu was intended to provoke a war between the two Great Immortal Sects, and then annihilate us both while we're weakened."

Upon hearing Immortal Monarch Lingyin's words, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch was utterly dumbfounded.

Coming to his senses, he asked incredulously, "Immortal Monarch Lingyin, is there evidence for this statement?"

Immortal Monarch Lingyin said, "Chen Lu possesses some Heavenly Mechanism Skills, allowing him to deduce a person's true identity. When he saw Sikong Youpeng, he deduced that he was from Blood Eagle Hall."

Though Lu Chen claimed he identified Sikong Youpeng through a magic treasure, Immortal Monarch Lingyin worried that if they mentioned the magic treasure, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch would insist on Lu Chen proving it by presenting the treasure.

Not being certain of Lu Chen's possession of such a magic treasure, Immortal Monarch Lingyin simply stated it as Heavenly Mechanism Skill since it naturally can deduce a person's identity.

Most Immortals possess some Deduction Technique, but Immortals can usually shield their heavenly secrets from being deduced by weaker Immortals. However, there are those particularly skilled in Heavenly Mechanism Skills.

To someone skilled in Heavenly Mechanism Skills, deducing a person's true identity is a straightforward task.

After hearing Immortal Monarch Lingyin's words, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch did not doubt them, looking at Lu Chen, he then said, "The young friend is indeed worthy of being the Mysterious Moon Immortal King's direct disciple, skilled even in Heavenly Mechanism Skills."

"I will report this matter to our Sect Master upon my return."

The reason Black Cloud Immortal Monarch didn't doubt Immortal Monarch Lingyin's words is that Sikong Youpeng's actions were indeed too abnormal. An Inner Sect Disciple like Sikong Youpeng ran off to assassinate the direct disciple of the Hall Master of Mysterious Moon Palace without any orders from the Sect.

If not for the capabilities of Mysterious Moon Palace's Hall Master's direct disciple, the two Great Immortal Sects might already be at war.

In an era where the Reproduction Path is sealed and the population dwindles, sect wars could lead to countless deaths, with no immediate replenishment for those lost. Most sects prefer peaceful coexistence.

Occasionally annexing mortal villages from other sects is not an issue, but the idea of all-out war between two equally powerful sects is unthinkable.

Black Cloud Immortal Monarch said, "I hope Immortal Monarch Lingyin can wait a few more days in Sky Wolf City. Our Chiyan Sect will certainly give your Palace and this young friend a proper explanation."

Immortal Monarch Lingyin said, "Very well."

Black Cloud Immortal Monarch didn't say anything further and immediately turned to leave Sky Wolf City.

In a brief moment, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch returned to the Chiyan Sect, and upon arrival, a man in a red Taoist robe appeared beside him.

"What happened?"

Sky Wolf City is very close to the Chiyan Sect, and as an Immortal King, Wei Fusheng immediately sensed Black Cloud Immortal Monarch's journey there, alongside the aura of another Immortal Monarch in Sky Wolf City.

Sky Wolf City is the domain of Mysterious Moon Palace; there is no way Black Cloud Immortal Monarch would venture there without cause. Wei Fusheng had long instructed Black Cloud Immortal Monarch and the elders of the Chiyan Sect that, even if the people of Sky Wolf City wished to join, the Chiyan Sect should not annex it to avoid conflict with Mysterious Moon Palace.

Seeing it was Wei Fusheng, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch hastily paid respects and said, "Greetings Sect Master."

"Sect Master, just now Immortal Monarch Lingyin from Mysterious Moon Palace sought me out."

"Inner Sect Elder Sikong Youpeng acted on his own volition and went to Sky Wolf City to assassinate the direct disciple of Mysterious Moon Immortal King. Fortunately, this disciple had some capabilities and survived."

Upon hearing this, Wei Fusheng's eyebrows immediately furrowed. He wouldn't dare annex Sky Wolf City, and Sikong Youpeng dared attempt an assassination on the direct disciple of Mysterious Moon Palace's Hall Master.

Wei Fusheng immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Who gave Sikong Youpeng such audacity!"

"Where is Sikong Youpeng now?"

Black Cloud Immortal Monarch said, "He should have been dealt with by Immortal Monarch Lingyin."

Wei Fusheng asked, "What did Mysterious Moon Palace say?"

No matter what, Sikong Youpeng was an Inner Sect Elder of the Chiyan Sect, and the assassination target's identity was equally complex. To Wei Fusheng, it was clear Mysterious Moon Palace would not let the matter rest.

Resolving this issue would require significant concessions from the Chiyan Sect.

Just as Wei Fusheng was pondering this, Black Cloud Immortal Monarch spoke up, saying, "Sect Master, according to Immortal Monarch Lingyin, the direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Immortal King is skilled in Heavenly Mechanism Skills and deduced that Sikong Youpeng is not from the Chiyan Sect, but an undercover from Blood Eagle Hall."
