Chapter 1353: Chapter 1043: I Am Not Wrong!!!

Pei Tianlu has now pledged his loyalty to Lu Chen. The Chiyue Dynasty and the Daxia Dynasty are currently in an adversarial state, and how Pei Wenfu handles it is not his decision to make.

As Lu Chen noticed Pei Tianlu looking at him, he understood that Pei Tianlu was seeking his opinion, so he said, “Pei Wenfu is your descendant. How to proceed is up to you.”

Pei Tianlu quickly bowed and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

With Lu Chen’s words, it was as if Pei Wenfu had been granted a reprieve from death.

…

After Pei Tianlu reunited with the Pei Family, they immediately began to prepare to spread the news of Pei Tianlu’s return.

The best way to gain the Dynast Qi Fortune of the Chiyue Dynasty was to announce Pei Tianlu’s return to the Chiyue Dynasty and then let Pei Tianlu take control of the Chiyue Dynasty once again.

In the presence of the Chiyue Dynasty’s commoners, Pei Tianlu publicly declared his loyalty to Lu Chen, integrating the Chiyue Dynasty into the Daxia Dynasty. In this way, the Qi Fortune of the Chiyue Dynasty would merge into that of the Daxia Dynasty.

Pei Wenfu was completely unaware of what was about to happen. He had already led the court ministers to the Tianluo Star Domain, planning to negotiate with the Daxia Dynasty.

Upon learning that Pei Wenfu had personally come to the Tianluo Star Domain, Lu Chen decided not to let the Daxia Army advance further. He waited in the Tianluo Star Domain for Pei Wenfu’s arrival for negotiations.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Pei Wenfu finally led the Chiyue Dynasty’s ministers to the Tianluo Star Domain.

As soon as Pei Wenfu’s Immortal Boat reached the Tianluo Star Domain, he perceived the presence of Starships within it.

He exited his cabin on the Immortal Boat and came to the deck, looking far into the distance. On the other side of the Tianluo Star Domain, hundreds of Starships emitting a metallic sheen were arranged in a line.

In front of these Starships was a golden, dazzling, luxurious Immortal Boat, adorned with array patterns emitting blue light, indicating its high grade.

At this moment, Pei Wenfu asked the guard beside him, “How are the negotiations between the delegation and the Daxia Dynasty going?”

The guard replied, “There has been no result yet. They haven’t met the ruler of Daxia. Some members of the delegation have already returned.”

Upon hearing the guard’s response, Pei Wenfu became increasingly worried.

At this moment, a member of the delegation came excitedly to Pei Wenfu’s Immortal Boat. “Your Majesty, wonderful news, great news!”

Upon hearing the minister’s words, Pei Wenfu curiously asked, “Minister Liu, what wonderful news do you speak of?”

The minister replied, “The Daxia Dynasty has agreed to negotiate. They will send a delegation tomorrow, and we can decide the location for the negotiations.”

A wave of joy washed over Pei Wenfu as he quickly asked, “Is this true?”

The minister nodded and said, “It’s true, it’s true. This was personally stated by the ruler of Daxia.”

Pei Wenfu breathed a sigh of relief. Since the ruler of Daxia had agreed to negotiate, his imperial throne was most likely secured.

He then said, “Immediately prepare to welcome the Daxia envoy tomorrow!”

Following Pei Wenfu’s orders, the ministers of Daxia quickly took action and soon decided on the location for the negotiations.

The negotiations would take place at the Domain Lord Mansion in the Tianluo Star Domain, with Pei Wenfu and the ministers of the Chiyue Dynasty attending.

Early the next morning.

Pei Wenfu changed into a new set of clothes, preparing early to wait for the Daxia delegation at the Domain Lord Mansion in the Tianluo Star Domain.

The scorching sunlight poured onto the earth, making it difficult to open one’s eyes. By noon, the Daxia delegation had not yet arrived.

Pei Wenfu looked up at the sky, feeling increasingly anxious and fearing something might go wrong.

At that moment, Pei Wenfu suddenly recalled that since Pei Nian’s group arrived in the Tianluo Star Domain, they had disappeared.

To prevent Pei Nian from thwarting his plans, Pei Wenfu had sent numerous people to search for Pei Nian’s whereabouts, but found no traces. He thus concluded that Pei Nian’s group had likely been dealt with by the Daxia Army.

However, thinking about it now, it seemed far more likely that Pei Nian’s group was hiding in wait to sabotage the negotiations between the Chiyue Dynasty and the Daxia Dynasty.

Realizing this, Pei Wenfu’s face dramatically changed, and he hurriedly instructed the guard behind him, “Quickly, send someone to check if the Daxia delegation has been ambushed!”

Just as Pei Wenfu’s words fell, a familiar voice echoed, “Moon Emperor, fret not. Who would dare ambush the Daxia delegation at such a time?”

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Pei Wenfu’s face instantly darkened, as he immediately recognized it as Pei Nian’s.

Indeed, the next moment, Pei Nian appeared in the sky with his entourage. Seeing Pei Nian’s group, Pei Wenfu’s Quasi-Emperor-ranked guards immediately surrounded Pei Wenfu.

A Quasi-Emperor shouted angrily, “Pei Nian, what are you doing here? You are not welcome here today!”

Pei Nian promptly ordered his group, “Raise the flag!”

As his words fell, a giant court flag appeared in the sky, clearly the Daxia Dynasty’s court flag.

Pei Nian continued, “Today, I am here as the envoy representing the Daxia Dynasty for the negotiations. There is no need for anyone to be alarmed.”

The ministers of the Chiyue Dynasty were all stunned.

Representing the Daxia Dynasty in the negotiations?

When did Pei Nian pledge allegiance to the Daxia Dynasty?

Weren’t those from the royal family supposed to staunchly refuse to surrender?

How could those in the royal family kneel faster than their own emperor?

Pei Wenfu was equally dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected that while the royal family had been berating him as a traitor, they had secretly pledged allegiance to the Daxia Dynasty.

After some time, Pei Wenfu regained his composure. “Since Envoy Pei is here for negotiations, please proceed.”

Pei Wenfu did not care about who came for the negotiations; as long as his imperial throne could be secured, it made no difference.

Seeing Pei Wenfu’s sycophantic demeanor, Pei Nian let out a laugh, “Moon Emperor, do not be hasty. Before we commence negotiations, I wish to introduce someone to everyone.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled. Introducing someone? Who could it be?

At this moment, there was a ripple in the space, and a figure appeared in the sky.

Seeing the sudden appearance of this person, Pei Wenfu and the ministers of the Chiyue Dynasty felt their minds go blank.

Pei Wenfu muttered, “No… impossible…”

“How could you still be alive…”

Feng Tengfei had once told him that Pei Tianlu was severely injured and nearing his end, unlikely to live much longer.

Yet Pei Tianlu was here now, Pei Wenfu couldn’t believe his own eyes.

If Pei Tianlu had indeed returned, Pei Wenfu’s fate was sealed.

The old ministers of the Chiyue Dynasty were equally shocked, especially those in Pei Wenfu’s faction.

The death Qi surrounding Pei Tianlu had dissipated, indicating he had surpassed his end. Pei Tianlu’s original strength was already formidable, and now having overcome his end, his Cultivation State had further improved. There was no one in the Chiyue Dynasty who could match him.

Not only the Chiyue Dynasty, but even the Great Emperor of the Qingyun Dynasty wouldn’t dare provoke Pei Tianlu at his peak, let alone after his breakthrough.

At this moment, a hobgoblin-like minister suddenly recalled something and promptly knelt on the ground, shouting loudly, “Welcome back, Grand Emperor Ancestor!”

Hearing this, the other ministers of the Chiyue Dynasty snapped back to reality and quickly knelt on the ground, “Welcome back, Grand Emperor Ancestor!”

Seeing his faction all kneeling, anger surged through Pei Wenfu’s heart, “You all…”

Fury intertwined with fear emboldened Pei Wenfu. He stared intently at Pei Tianlu in the sky, “I have done no wrong!!!”
