Chapter 1345: Chapter 1035: Boring

Lu Chen also knew that some conflicts existed between Pei Tianlu and the Qingyun Dynasty. If he accepted Qi Shi’s allegiance, it might displease Pei Tianlu.

But for the future of the Daxia Dynasty and to amass enough power to resist Emperor Shenwu, it was worth absorbing Qi Shi even if it displeased Pei Tianlu.

However, Lu Chen did not immediately respond. He split a strand of his Divine Soul, and soon, a Golden Body Dharma Form of Lu Chen appeared in front of Pei Tianlu and Qi Shi.

Lu Chen looked at Pei Tianlu and asked calmly, “Elder Pei, what do you think?”

Seeing that Lu Chen had personally sent a strand of his Divine Soul and asked for his opinion, Pei Tianlu knew that Lu Chen was tempted.

After all, Qi Shi was a Great Emperor. Having a Great Emperor as a henchman would elevate the overall strength of the Daxia Dynasty to a new level. As the ruler of the dynasty, Lu Chen naturally wanted to accept Qi Shi’s allegiance.

By asking Pei Tianlu’s opinion, Lu Chen was merely giving both sides a way to reconcile.

Pei Tianlu sighed inwardly and said, “Ancestor Qi is dead. The Qi Family has paid the price, and I can let go of my issues with the Qi Family.”

Lu Chen then looked at Qi Shi and said, “Very well, since Elder Pei has said so, I will give you a chance.”

“Open your mind and do not resist.”

Hearing this, Qi Shi was stunned. He didn’t know what Lu Chen intended to do, but he had a faint sense that it was nothing good.

However, to save his own life, Qi Shi had no choice but to comply.

He thought to himself that as long as he could get through today, he would escape as soon as he left this Star Domain. As a Great Emperor, there would be plenty of places for him to go. By then, neither this person before him nor the Empress who wielded the Power of Slaughter could do anything to him.

Just then, Qi Shi suddenly felt an imprint appear deep within his Divine Soul, causing a sharp pain. As he was about to try to expel the imprint, Lu Chen’s voice sounded directly in his mind.

“Do not resist. Resistance means death.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Shi immediately forced himself to endure.

Soon, the Soul Control Seal was planted into Qi Shi’s Divine Soul. Sensing the presence of the Soul Control Seal, Qi Shi’s face instantly turned pale.

He never imagined that Lu Chen possessed means to control even a Great Emperor.

Just what kind of background did this person have?

Did this mean that he would henceforth be bound to follow the orders of the ruler of Daxia, becoming little more than a dog for the ruler of Daxia?

Seeing Qi Shi’s pale face and his expression of disbelief, Pei Tianlu felt a lot better and said sarcastically, “Qi Shi, don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. Now that the Soul Control Seal is in place, you’d best behave and follow His Majesty without any tricks.”

Hearing Pei Tianlu’s taunt, Qi Shi came to his senses. He coldly glared at Pei Tianlu before reluctantly bowing to Lu Chen and saying, “Greetings, Master!”

Lu Chen was about to say something when suddenly, a Sword Qi imbued with the Power of Slaughter came flying in. Qi Shi quickly dodged, barely avoiding having his body cleaved.

As he reacted, Qi Shi saw Empress Tianhong, dressed in a black and red gown and with blood-red pupils, flying towards them from afar.

In the next moment, countless Emperor’s Sword avatars appeared around them. Seeing Empress Tianhong about to use her earlier move again, Lu Chen quickly said, “Honghong, stop! He has already sworn allegiance to me.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Empress Tianhong instantly snapped out of it. The blood-red in her pupils gradually faded to a light red. She looked coldly at the people present before flying straight toward the Feihong Immortal Boat.

Before leaving, Empress Tianhong threw down two words, “Boring.”

Watching Empress Tianhong leave, Qi Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close. He had almost lost his life.

Qi Shi was now extremely grateful that he had surrendered early. If he had delayed even a moment, he might have already been a ghost under that crazy woman’s sword.

A Great Emperor who wielded the Power of Slaughter was truly terrifying!

However, thinking back…

Qi Shi glanced at Empress Tianhong, who was emanating black Evil Qi, and then at Lu Chen’s Dharma Form. A question arose in his mind.

Judging from the situation just now, it seemed that the Daxia ruler could command that crazy woman.

If a Great Emperor with the Power of Slaughter obeyed him, then the identity of the ruler of Daxia must be even more frightening than he had imagined.

Thinking of this, Qi Shi’s hatred for the Ye Family grew even deeper. If not for the Ye Family, he wouldn’t have ended up as someone else’s slave.

At this moment, Qi Shi wished he could tear the Ye Family to pieces.

Just then, Pei Tianlu asked from the side, “Your Majesty, shall we head to the Qingyun Dynasty next?”

Reminded by Pei Tianlu, Qi Shi’s eyes immediately fell on him, filled with hatred, as if he wanted to tear Pei Tianlu apart.

Ignoring Qi Shi’s gaze, Pei Tianlu continued, “The Qingyun Dynasty also has a Great Emperor protecting it. With the Dynast Qi Fortune, it won’t be easy to conquer. However, if we can get the Empress to act, Qi Hongguang won’t be a match even with the Dynast Qi Fortune.”

Qi Shi wanted to say something, but now that he was Lu Chen’s servant, it wasn’t appropriate for him to speak up.

He could clearly see that Pei Tianlu wanted to use someone else’s hand to kill, but being under the Soul Control Seal, he had no choice but to side with Daxia. For Daxia, destroying the Qingyun Dynasty was inevitable.

At that moment, Qi Shi thought of something and said, “Your Majesty, before heading to the Qingyun Dynasty, we will pass by the Chiyue Dynasty. The Chiyue Dynasty is now without a Great Emperor. I believe that with Your Majesty’s means, it would be easy to seize the Chiyue Dynasty’s Qi Fortune.”

“Once the Chiyue Dynasty’s Qi Fortune is captured, the Daxia Dynasty’s Qi Fortune will grow even stronger. It might even elevate Your Majesty’s Realm.”

Pei Tianlu snorted and said, “Qi Shi, do you think Your Majesty can’t see through your little schemes?”

Qi Shi replied, “I have just sworn allegiance to Your Majesty. How would I dare have any schemes? I’m simply speaking the truth.”

Pei Tianlu directly said to Lu Chen, “Your Majesty, since this old man has sworn allegiance to you, the Chiyue Dynasty naturally belongs to you. You can seize the Chiyue Dynasty’s Qi Fortune at any time, I just hope you can spare my descendants’ lives.”

Seeing through their schemes, Lu Chen said calmly, “Alright, let’s take things step by step. First the Chiyue Dynasty, then the Qingyun Dynasty.”

He was determined to bring both dynasties under the rule of Daxia, regardless of Pei Tianlu and Qi Shi’s words.

After speaking, Lu Chen retracted his Dharma Form. Pei Tianlu glanced emotionlessly at Qi Shi before heading to the Feihong Immortal Boat.

Qi Shi originally intended to take this opportunity to send a message to Qi Hongguang to prepare him, but sensing the lingering Power of Slaughter in the void, he quickly abandoned the idea.

Qi Shi didn’t know that even if he hadn’t given up his little schemes, with the Soul Control Seal, he wouldn’t be able to transmit any information from here.
