Chapter 2522 - 2212: Did You Meet Lu Chen?

Just as Song Hong was expecting Chu Yuqin to forcibly take Lu Chen away, Chu Yuqin spoke up, "Fine, everything will be as you say. We will wait until you break through to the Saint Realm before going with us to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

Seeing Chu Yuqin agree to let Lu Chen continue staying in the Border Wilderness, Song Hong was puzzled.

Given that Chu Yuqin is the Great Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, she should understand how important Lu Chen is to the Sacred Land. Whether it’s the possible ancient inheritance Lu Chen carries or his talent, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land should bring Lu Chen back as soon as possible. Why is Great Elder Chu Yuqin allowing Lu Chen to remain in the Border Wilderness?

If Lu Chen continues to stay in the Border Wilderness, it might attract covetous eyes from other factions, and the three of them in the Saint Realm might not be able to protect him.

At this moment, Lu Chen said to Chu Yuqin, "Madam Chu, please help me check the Border Wilderness again to see if there are any other Saint Realm individuals from other factions. I’m going back to bring the people out."

With those words, Lu Chen returned to the ruins once more.

Hearing Lu Chen call Chu Yuqin "Madam Chu," Song Hong and another Holy Realm Elder looked at Chu Yuqin stupefied.

Madam Chu?

Why does Lu Chen refer to Chu Yuqin as Madam Chu?

Is there some other relationship between them?

But they hadn’t heard of Chu Yuqin having a nephew out in the Border Wilderness.

After Lu Chen left, Song Hong cautiously asked, "Great Elder, may I ask what your relationship with Lu Chen is?"

For a moment, Chu Yuqin didn’t know how to respond. She couldn’t possibly tell them that Lu Chen had connections with her in a past life, could she?

The things Lu Chen had said hadn’t been proven and might not necessarily be true.

Chu Yuqin said coldly, "This is none of your concern."

With that, Chu Yuqin flew towards the Great Zhou Capital.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin was unwilling to reveal more about her relationship with Lu Chen, Song Hong didn’t ask further.

A few days later, Lu Chen led tens of thousands from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor out of the Small World and returned to the Great Zhou, relieved to find the Great Zhou Capital still intact.

Although the Sky Demon Sect had slaughtered many cities to arrange their formations, they didn’t destroy the Great Zhou Capital. Perhaps it was to continue their debauchery, as the disciples of the Sky Demon Sect were also human and needed some entertainment.

Upon returning to the capital, Ji Yunmeng continued her role as the Great Zhou Empress.

Lu Chen remained obsessed with creating offspring, as if life had returned to what it was before they entered the Small World.

The news of Lu Chen slaying a Saint Realm expert quickly spread back to Central State.

When this news spread throughout Central State, various factions were incredibly shocked.

To slay a Saint Realm in one blow, only someone at the Emperor Realm could achieve that.

Doesn’t this indicate that Lu Chen already possesses the strength of the Emperor Realm?

The inheritance indeed resides with Lu Chen!

However, even if the various factions know the inheritance is with Lu Chen, they would not act recklessly.

The Emperor Realm hadn’t acted for many years; they couldn’t possibly awaken the slumbering Emperor Realm experts just to seize the ancient inheritance from Lu Chen.

Until they ascertain Lu Chen’s true strength, they would not send more Saint Realm experts to deal with him.

If by chance Lu Chen still has the strength to slay a Saint Realm expert, that would be troublesome. Losing a Saint Realm is an unbearable cost for any faction.

But they wouldn’t just let it go.

Lu Chen, with Emperor Realm cultivation, being able to slay a Saint Realm expert, is proof enough of how extraordinary the ancient inheritance he received is. Certainly, if they could win Lu Chen over to their faction, that would be ideal.

So, each faction dispatched emissaries to the Border Wilderness to make contact with Lu Chen, hoping to win him over while probing his true strength.

Tianji Pavilion.

Atop the pavilion, Xuan Qingyun, dressed in a black-and-white robe, sat on the Observatory with closed eyes.

At this moment, a purple flying boat approached the Tianji Pavilion from afar.

Xuan Qingyun opened his eyes immediately. In the next moment, Chen Wanrong landed on the Observatory and respectfully greeted Xuan Qingyun, "Disciple greets Pavilion Master."

Xuan Qingyun asked, "Did you see Lu Chen?"

Chen Wanrong replied, "I did."

As she spoke, Chen Wanrong promptly took out the Red Flower Sedan from the space ring.

The moment the Red Flower Sedan was taken out, red light scattered instantly, and the crimson halo made Xuan Qingyun feel dizzy.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Qingyun’s face turned pale with icy frost.

The power of the oath from the Red Flower Sedan still remained!

Unexpectedly, the oath power from the Red Flower Sedan still works in this world. Wasn’t their vow with Lu Chen already fulfilled long ago?

Why is there still oath power inside the Red Flower Sedan?

What on earth is happening?

If the oath power of the Red Flower Sedan remains, it means that they, as Ancestors of the Strange, still cannot harm Lu Chen.

This means Lu Chen can continue to indulge with them as he did in the Burial Furnace, making them bear children for him.

Seeing Xuan Qingyun’s unfriendly expression and the thick mysterious power emanating from him, Chen Wanrong felt a shiver in her heart. She had never seen their Pavilion Master so angry before.

After a while, Xuan Qingyun regained his composure. He looked at Chen Wanrong and said, "You may leave now."

Chen Wanrong bowed and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master."

With those words, Chen Wanrong immediately left the Observatory.

After Chen Wanrong left, Xuan Qingyun looked gloomily in the direction of the Border Wilderness, lost in thought.

Lu Chen possessed boundless vitality, and in the absence of the Spirit Realm, he was crucial to the Ancestor of the Strange.

Therefore, even though Lu Chen violated their bodies, she couldn’t bring herself to kill him outright.

However, as a noble Ancestor of the Strange, it’s impossible to allow Lu Chen to continue such acts against them.

But Xuan Qingyun was also contemplating a question. Although Lu Chen’s behavior was indeed detestable, if Lu Chen genuinely fell for them, these Ancestors of the Strange, wouldn’t it mean they could stay by Lu Chen’s side indefinitely and devour his vitality without resorting to other means?

When they came to the Spirit Realm looking for Lu Chen, they were considering how to control him. After all, given Lu Chen’s formidable strength, fully controlling him was no easy task.

If Lu Chen felt his dignity was trampled and chose mutual destruction, aiming to self-destruct, it would be a great loss.

Now it seems that using human emotions to bind Lu Chen might be an excellent choice.

However, asking these Ancestors of the Strange to engage in love affairs with a human was something they were having difficulty accepting for the moment.

Even Xuan Qingyun herself couldn’t make up her mind, and ultimately, she decided not to dwell on it.

For now, she was the only Ancestor of the Strange retaining original memories, and she couldn’t determine the relationship mode between the Ancestors of the Strange and Lu Chen.

Once all Ancestors of the Strange recover their memories, she would then discuss it with them slowly.

The most important thing now was to help the Ancestors of the Strange recover their memories, and not to allow Lu Chen to wantonly play with their bodies any longer.

...

Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

Imperial Palace.

In the resplendent bedroom, Li Shuo was reporting the happenings in the Border Wilderness to the Great Yan Immortal Emperor seated high upon the Dragon Throne.

Wu Zhan sat sideways on the Dragon Throne, leaning back against it, with one hand gently tapping the throne’s armrest, appearing to be in deep thought.

Once Li Shuo finished speaking, Wu Zhan asked, "Do you think Junwan can win over Lu Chen?"
