Chapter 1463: Chapter 1153: Lu Yanghua Assassinating the King to Seize the Throne?

Thinking of the Realm improvement brought to her by the Dynast Qi Fortune, Empress Tianhong’s resentment towards Lu Chen had diminished somewhat.

Her scarlet eyes focused on Lu Chen, she said coldly, “What is your current Realm, your main body?”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “Why do you ask? Do you intend to spar with me again?”

Empress Tianhong didn’t say anything, she just continued to stare directly at Lu Chen.

Empress Tianhong’s eyes, as crystal clear as rubies, combined with her breathtaking beauty, made Lu Chen feel somewhat restless.

No matter how many times he confronted Empress Tianhong, the desires in his heart were always stirred by her.

Lu Chen then said, “Still at the Fourth Layer of the Great Emperor Realm, I haven’t made a breakthrough.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s reply, Empress Tianhong felt a trace of joy inside. Although she still couldn’t shake off Lu Chen’s control, as long as she could strengthen her power faster than Lu Chen, there was still hope.

Maybe one day she would become stronger than Lu Chen, strong enough to break the contract between them willingly.

By then, she would return all the humiliation Lu Chen had brought her.

As for how to return it, she didn’t need to think that far right now.

At that moment, Lu Chen came to sit beside Empress Tianhong, his body closely against Empress Tianhong’s waist. Seeing Lu Chen approaching voluntarily, Empress Tianhong’s eyebrows furrowed and she unconsciously shifted to the side a bit.

Lu Chen said, “Just after the breakthrough, why do you seem so unfamiliar with me as your husband, you cultivate the Slaughter Path, not the Heartless Tao.”

Empress Tianhong ignored Lu Chen’s words and continued to calm the turbulent Power of Slaughter inside her.

Lu Chen was about to lay hands on Empress Tianhong when suddenly his hands stopped in mid-air, and he was clearly in a daze.

Empress Tianhong thought Lu Chen might forcefully attack, and she was prepared to take him on, planned to exhaust Lu Chen’s clone, but found him suddenly motionless.

Although she was puzzled why Lu Chen wasn’t moving abruptly, she didn’t open her mouth to ask.

After a while, Lu Chen came back to his senses and, smiling at Empress Tianhong, said, “An even stronger enemy has come, do you think I’ll let you out this time?”

Empress Tianhong was startled inside, an enemy had arrived?

She quickly calmed her turbulent heart and said coldly, “You won’t let me out.”

She still had Lu Chen’s child inside her, and as long as the child was not born, Lu Chen would never let her out to fight enemies, at least that’s what Empress Tianhong thought.

Previously, Lu Chen had tricked her several times, causing her to already distrust Lu Chen, a man’s mouth, a deceiver’s lie, each time saying he’d let her out, but always ending up bickering inside the Immortal Boat.

She no longer held any hope for this; now she only wished the child inside her belly would quickly be born.

Once the child is born, Lu Chen would no longer limit her like this.

Upon hearing Empress Tianhong’s words, Lu Chen grabbed her jade hand and placed it on his thigh, looking into her eyes, he said, “As long as you can ensure your own safety, I surely will let you out.”

“For me, your life safety ranks first.”

Empress Tianhong let out a cold laugh, “You are just afraid something might happen to the child inside my belly.”

She didn’t believe Lu Chen harbored any deep feelings for her, Lu Chen harbored only desires for her; if he truly felt for her, he wouldn’t fool her each time.

Lu Chen didn’t deny, “I’m indeed worried something might happen to the child, but I’m equally worried about you, which doesn’t conflict.”

As Lu Chen’s words fell, he wrapped Empress Tianhong in his arms completely and then softly said into her ear, “You and the child are both my treasures, neither can be hurt.”

Hearing this, Empress Tianhong immediately raised her hand to push away Lu Chen, “I am different from those women, your words are useless with me.”

After all, she was an Empress who had proven her path with slaughter, how could she be swayed by a man’s sweet talk? What she valued was always just interest, emotions were a dispensable thing to her.

Lu Chen smiled faintly, didn’t continue speaking, at this moment, one of his clones had already arrived at the edge of the Haifeng Star Domain.

When his clone reached the Haifeng Star Domain, Thunderbolt Emperor and Emperor Zi Ji were already waiting in the void.

Not only Lu Chen, but both of them also had sensed another dense Power of Slaughter coming from beyond the White Rock Star Domain Group, which wasn’t coming from within the Feihong Immortal Boat.

Since the other Power of Slaughter wasn’t from the White Rock Star Domain Group, it must mean Shenyue Emperor had arrived.

Emperor Zi Ji and Thunderbolt Emperor were the first to go to the Haifeng Star Domain, and as soon as they arrived, they indeed found Lu Yanghua had arrived.

Lu Yanghua stood on the land of a flying palace, staring intensely at the blue barrier in front of him.

Before Thunderbolt Emperor and Emperor Zi Ji arrived, he had already tried to damage the barrier, but his attack had no effect on it, even using the Power of Slaughter made no impact.

Lu Yanghua said coldly, “What the hell is this, why can it withstand my Power of Slaughter?”

Ever since Lu Yanghua had backstabbed Emperor Shenwu, he had become arrogant, thinking that possessed with the Power of Slaughter, he had become invincible.

Now unable to even break a barrier, it was a humiliation to him.

He thought being a Slaughter Emperor meant being like Emperor Shenwu, able to go wherever he wanted, kill whoever he wished, and nobody could stop his steps.

Yet he couldn’t even break a barrier.

Just then, Lu Yanghua noticed the presence of Thunderbolt Emperor and Emperor Zi Ji, seeing them inside the barrier, he became even angrier and was about to speak when he saw another figure appear in the distance.

Seeing it was Lu Chen, Lu Yanghua exclaimed without hesitation, “Ninth brother, you truly are surprising!”

Lu Chen laughed and said, “Surprising? What surprised you?”

Lu Yanghua said, “I’m very curious, how did you persuade those two to betray the Shenyue Dynasty?”

Lu Chen said, “Betrayal? No, no, no, they haven’t betrayed the Shenyue Dynasty; the real traitor to the Dynasty is you, the one who murdered the monarch for the throne.”

“They simply saw through your facade, so they chose to side with me, the proper heir of the Shenyue Dynasty.”

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperors around Lu Yanghua were momentarily stunned.

Murdering the monarch for the throne?

What did they hear?

Lu Yanghua murdered the monarch for the throne?

Suddenly, seeds of doubt began to sprout in the minds of various Great Emperors of the Shenyue Dynasty; at the time of Emperor Shenwu’s demise, they felt something was off.

Though Emperor Shenwu had been injured in earlier years, it wasn’t to the extent of perishing so soon, plus he had rested for many years, his health surely recovered somewhat, how could he perish.

Now hearing Lu Chen’s words, some Great Emperors of the Shenyue Dynasty immediately realized that Lu Yanghua was likely colluding with the Tianji Pavilion to murder Emperor Shenwu.
