Chapter 2082: Chapter 1772: Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s Conditions

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader was motivated to join forces with other realms to divide the Southern Domain after witnessing Xiyue Immortal Emperor make a move.

Relying solely on their Barbaric forces, they could seize the entire Southern Domain, but it would require a huge sacrifice, and they’re most concerned that the Southern Domain might act desperately and destroy the seals in the Sunset Mountain Range again.

This time, the Southern Domain has been cautious, only breaking seals in a few Forbidden Lands. If, by chance, they break all the seals in the Forbidden Lands next time, it would be beyond the Barbaric realm’s ability to handle.

Although the likelihood of this is very small, it must be guarded against.

Of course, sharing the Southern Domain with other realms would reduce the resources and Qi Fortune they gain, but with the help of other realms, it would be much easier to completely annihilate the Southern Domain.

Most importantly, if the Southern Domain destroys the seals in the Sunset Mountain Range again, it will be much easier for the Barbaric forces to deal with it with the support of other realms.

Moreover, with more people, they can station Immortal Venerates to guard the Sunset Mountain Range to prevent such incidents from happening again.

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader continued, “I believe Xiyue Immortal Emperor is also outraged by the Southern Domain’s actions, so I plan to send someone to the Eastern Domain to discuss the matter with Xiyue Immortal Emperor.”

At this point, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader looked at Lu Chen and continued, “Lu Chen, I recall you have a clone in the Eastern Domain, why not let your clone inform Xiyue Immortal Emperor in advance and see what she thinks?”

Lu Chen replied indifferently, “Alright.”

…

Tianxi Palace.

Xiyue Immortal Emperor lay lazily on a couch, her belly growing larger by the day, sometimes visibly protruding. Clearly, the child in her womb had already developed consciousness and was interacting with its mother.

Lu Chen’s clone sat beside her, continuously massaging Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s shoulders, looking like her genuine male companion, and Xiyue Immortal Emperor now quite enjoyed such a life.

If not for the concern that Xuan Qingyun’s cultivation state might outstrip her own, making her unable to match Xuan Qingyun in the future, she would actually prefer to live quietly like this always.

Perhaps due to the calming effect of destiny, her heart is increasingly tranquil, her demonic power has not been stirred in a long time.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly asked, “Are you interested in the Southern Domain?”

Upon hearing the question, Xiyue Immortal Emperor immediately guessed what Lu Chen was going to say next. She gently raised a jade finger, grasped in the air, causing a bunch of grapes to fly into her hand, then she opened her mouth, gently biting off a grape and slowly chewing.

After finishing the entire bunch, Xiyue Immortal Emperor leisurely commented, “Did the Hidden Moon Sect Leader prompt you to ask?”

Lu Chen did not hide it, responding directly, “Yes, he may be worried about the Southern Domain acting desperately and repeating their actions.”

Given the Barbaric realm’s strength, if the Blood Ancestor did not intervene, they could seize the entire Southern Domain, but the Sunset Mountain Range remains a constant threat to them.

Xiyue Immortal Emperor fell into contemplation. It is not impossible for her to have an interest in the Southern Domain; however, she now carries a child, and her power has somewhat diminished. She fears that if the Blood Ancestor intervenes, she might not be able to match him.

It could even endanger the child in her womb. The child has already developed consciousness, even if weak, but she believes it will be less than a hundred years before it is born.

In these hundred years, she doesn’t want to act arbitrarily. She only wishes to lay quietly, awaiting the child’s birth.

Seeing Xiyue Immortal Emperor remain silent, Lu Chen continued, “If you’re not interested, I’ll inform the Hidden Moon Sect Leader.”

Xiyue Immortal Emperor came to her senses and replied indifferently, “Such a sizable piece of meat like the Southern Domain, how could I not be interested? It’s just unfortunate that I’m pregnant, and my strength has significantly decreased. If I were to engage with the Blood Ancestor, it could affect the child, which would be a loss.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen’s gaze fell on Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s rounded belly. Indeed, being pregnant, she is not suited for battle.

At this time, Xiyue Immortal Emperor, thinking of something, then said, “You can tell the Hidden Moon Sect Leader that I can send Immortal Venerates to assist Barbaric forces in guarding the Sunset Mountain Range, but regarding the Southern Domain’s war, I will not intervene personally.”

“Once the war ends, I want forty percent of the Southern Domain’s Qi Fortune.”

Xiyue Immortal Emperor was not overly demanding; she knows if she asks too much, Barbaric forces wouldn’t agree, considering that in the absence of Blood Ancestor’s intervention, Barbaric forces alone could capture the entire Southern Domain.

Of course, the main concern now is whether the Blood Ancestor will intervene.

Yet, even if the Blood Ancestor is strong, should Barbaric forces fail to seize the Southern Domain, the Eastern Domain’s losses wouldn’t be substantial.

Originally, the Eastern Domain had dispatched several Immortal Venerates to patrol the Sunset Mountain Range, and if Barbaric forces agree to the Eastern Domain’s terms, it will simply send more Immortal Venerates to guard the Sunset Mountain Range, preventing people from the Southern Domain from damaging the seals.

Upon hearing Xiyue Immortal Emperor, Lu Chen responded, “I’ll relay this to him.”

Lu Chen also deemed Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s decision as the best; he too worried about his child, and with Xiyue Immortal Emperor carrying his child, it isn’t suitable for her to act directly.

…

High above White Rainbow Immortal City, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader was already planning the next moves.

At that moment, Lu Chen spoke to the Hidden Moon Sect Leader, “Sect Hierarch, Xiyue Immortal Emperor has responded.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader hesitated; had Lu Chen met Xiyue Immortal Emperor so quickly after being told to convey the message?

Although Lu Chen has a clone in the Eastern Domain, encountering Xiyue Immortal Emperor isn’t something that happens just by chance.

Not overly concerned, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader asked, “What was Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s response?”

Lu Chen replied, “She’s not going to act personally, but she can send the Eastern Domain’s Immortal Venerates to guard the Sunset Mountain Range, preventing further destruction. After the war, she wants forty percent of the Southern Domain’s Qi Fortune.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader’s expression darkened.

Wanting forty percent of the Qi Fortune without doing anything, Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s appetite is indeed vast.

But if the rear remains unstable, then concentrating all Barbaric forces against the Southern Domain is challenging.

If the Eastern Domain does dispatch many Immortal Venerates to guard the Sunset Mountain Range, with those Immortal Venerates, Barbaric forces could focus their energy on launching a full-scale offensive against the Southern Domain.

However, at the thought of the Eastern Domain not contributing much effort, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader felt unhappy, as did other leaders of Barbaric forces upon hearing this.

They exert full effort, and the Eastern Domain just guards the Sunset Mountain Range, yet after the conflict, they receive forty percent of the Qi Fortune. What’s more, if the Blood Ancestor intervenes, Barbaric forces might not be able to resist, and the Eastern Domain suffers no loss.
