Chapter 931: Chapter 621: Oh, isn’t this my Madame Yun Xi?

After Lu Chen slowly rose to his feet, Yun Xianxian felt as if her body had fallen apart. She, a Celestial being, actually couldn’t endure it.

This unfilial disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors was indeed treating her like a toy!

Detestable!

When Lu Chen stood up, he noticed Yun Xianxian’s icy yet blushing cheeks were staring at him furiously, as if she wanted to tear him into pieces.

Seeing this, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Honored Master, what kind of expression is that? Your disciple has been toiling for so long, and it’s fine if you don’t thank me, but why glare at me like this?”

Yun Xianxian didn’t speak; she didn’t want to say something only for this rebellious disciple to push her down on the couch again and torment her further.

Lu Chen gently caressed Yun Xianxian’s jade-like cheek, sliding over it before moving to stroke her silver-white hair. Yun Xianxian did not shy away; having been completely devoured by this rebel, there was nothing left to hide.

Yun Xianxian’s skin was as pale and delicate as snow, with a faint blush within the white, looking irresistibly enticing—a piece of art.

Seeing the fairy beneath him pretending to be indifferent, yet with a face full of blushing, Lu Chen almost couldn’t wait to continue.

But he still controlled himself, for there were guests waiting for him. Soon, he would not only listen to the reports from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect disciples but also meet the wife who had fled their marriage only to return on her own.

At that moment, Lu Chen leaned down gently and kissed Yun Xianxian’s thin lips. She offered no resistance, letting Lu Chen kiss her.

After the kiss, Lu Chen stood up, gazed into Yun Xianxian’s beautiful eyes, and said with a smile:

“Honored Master, wait for me just a moment. After I finish handling my affairs, I’ll come back to accompany you in cultivation.”

With these words, Lu Chen leisurely had the maids in the room dress him.

Before long, Lu Chen arrived at the Imperial Study Room. Outside the room, several people in white clothes were waiting.

Lu Chen had used Shadow Shifting to go directly to the Imperial Study Room, so those people did not know that he had already arrived there; they were still anxiously waiting outside.

When they had set out, Bai Guangyu had specifically instructed them that the Daxia Emperor’s identity was special, and seeing the Daxia Emperor was like seeing the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, so they were all very nervous.

Just as the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect disciples were wondering when they would be able to see Lu Chen, a female guard came out and said, “His Majesty has arrived, please come in!”

Hearing this, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect immediately entered the Imperial Study Room.

When they saw Lu Chen upon entering, they froze on the spot. On their way to Yan County, they had been in a hurry and hadn’t inquired about the Daxia Emperor.

In their minds, the Daxia Emperor was supposed to be an old man; unexpectedly, the Daxia Emperor was so young. This made them very curious as to why Bai Guangyu had said that the Daxia Emperor’s status was higher than that of a Sect Master.

After the group gathered their thoughts, they hurriedly bowed to Lu Chen and said, “Disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect greet Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!”

Lu Chen said indifferently, “Rise.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

After they got up, Lu Chen looked at the leading disciple from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and said, “Tell me, what is the current situation in the Misty World, and where does the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect rank in terms of overall strength there?”

Hearing this question, the leading disciple You Wenguang replied, “Your Majesty, there are eight known major sects in the Misty World at present, among which our Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, the Misty Immortal Sect, and the Linghu Sect are the three strongest.”

“If we are to discuss the strength of forces, the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect are roughly equal, both possessing two experts in the Yin-Yang Realm, but since the two sides have not engaged in large-scale direct conflict, it would be inappropriate for a subordinate like me to arbitrarily conclude which of the two is stronger.”

At this point, You Wenguang continued, “As for the smaller forces, there are quite a number. The Misty World is vast, and its space is unstable, with fragments from other worlds constantly falling into the Misty World, bringing more forces and cultivators to it.”

Lu Chen thought about it and realized that the troubles in the Misty World would not be resolved in a short period of time.

Even if he were to defeat all the presently existing forces in the Misty World, others from different worlds would continue to fall into the Misty World; it was a location of temporal and spatial turbulence.

No one could predict whether an even more powerful force would emerge in the Misty World in the future.

At this moment, You Wenguang and the others looked at Lu Chen, waiting for him to inquire further about the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, assuming that Lu Chen, the Great Sum Emperor, would not know about the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect’s affairs.

However, Lu Chen then spoke, “You have come from afar and must be tired, go rest.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, You Wenguang and the others were stunned. Was that it?

Just that one question?

Despite their confusion, You Wenguang and the others did not continue to speak and immediately bowed, saying, “We shall take our leave!”

Afterward, You Wenguang and the rest turned and left the Imperial Study Room. Lu Chen had wanted to ask about the Misty Immortal Sect, but he reconsidered: these disciples from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect spent all their days in the sect, and if they knew anything, it was likely only the matters that were common knowledge in the Misty World.

Asking them about the Misty Immortal Sect might not yield as much information as Wu Junwan and Li Qianrou would know.

To inquire about the current situation within the Misty Immortal Sect, it would be more appropriate to question its own disciples. He had already instructed the Brocade Guards to send a message to the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect disciples in Black Dragon City. It shouldn’t be long before disciples from the Misty Immortal Sect would be escorted to Yan County, where he could take his time interrogating them.

After the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect disciples left the Imperial Study Room, Lu Chen once again used Shadow Shifting and directly arrived at Mu Yunxi’s palace.

At that moment, Mu Yunxi was standing in the grand hall, looking around. For some reason, a strange sense of crisis had suddenly emerged in her heart. She kept feeling that Lu Chen would suddenly burst forth from somewhere and pin her down.

At this time, Mu Yunxi thought to herself that as long as she clarified what that guy had done to her, she would immediately leave Yan County and then find a way to solve her problem.

What she wanted to know most now was not the location of a pharmacy to treat her ailment but the cause of her illness. She felt that the cause might be related to Lu Chen. If she could just figure out the cause, there would surely be a way to solve it in the vast Cultivation World.

As Mu Yunxi got lost in thought, suddenly a familiar voice came from behind her, “Let’s see, who has come back?”

“Well, if it isn’t my Yunxi wife?”

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi quickly turned around.

Upon seeing Lu Chen again, Mu Yunxi’s mind froze for a moment, and she suddenly felt an urge to get closer to him.

Lu Chen said with a smile, “I thought my Yunxi wife would never come back, I didn’t expect you to return on your own after just a year.”
