Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife
Chapter 1586 - 1276: If I run back now, wouldn't it be a joke?

Generally, ordinary Immortal Ships will hang up noticeable Influence Flags, but coincidentally, Lu Chen and their ship didn't have one, as it was Ye Chuyao's personal Immortal Ship.

So when Sikong Youpeng saw this Immortal Ship, he couldn't confirm whether the one on it was the Hall Master's Direct Disciple from the Mysterious Moon Palace, so he proactively inquired about it.

Initially, he thought that the Immortal Ship directly heading to Sky Wolf City was most likely the Hall Master's Direct Disciple from the Mysterious Moon Palace. He didn't expect that the person would turn out to be a young lord from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.

Chen Family?

What the heck, he had never even heard of them.

It's probably a small family in the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty trying to cling to the Mysterious Moon Palace, which is why they're heading there, only to be driven out by the palace.

Sikong Youpeng didn't hesitate and turned to leave immediately.

Seeing Sikong Youpeng leave, Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun turned around, full of confusion as they looked at Lu Chen.

Chen Lu is clearly the Hall Master's Direct Disciple from the Mysterious Moon Palace, so why didn't he just say it outright?

Within the Mysterious Moon Palace's sphere of influence, no one would dare act against the Hall Master's Direct Disciple, right? That person was likely sent by an affiliated force near Sky Wolf City to meet him.

At this moment, Cao Shiyun asked, "Junior Brother, why didn't you reveal your identity?"

Lu Chen didn't answer immediately but glanced at the personal profile in front of him.

[Name: Sikong Youpeng]

[Identity: Inner Sect Elder of the Chiyan Sect, Elder of the Blood Eagle Hall]

[Strength: Golden Immortal]

[Loyalty: 0]

Seeing that Sikong Youpeng had two identities, Lu Chen chuckled, realizing he was a double-dealer.

Lu Chen then told Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun, "That man is from the Chiyan Sect."

Upon hearing this, the two women were stunned again, and immediately their icy faces turned exceptionally solemn.

Without any hesitation, they started controlling the Immortal Ship to lower in altitude, heading towards Sky Wolf City as quickly as possible.

This area is governed by the Mysterious Moon Palace, and for someone from the Chiyan Sect to suddenly appear here and inquire if Lu Chen is the Direct Disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace's Hall Master is already a clear indication of their intentions.

Although they didn't know how Lu Chen discerned that the man was from the Chiyan Sect, they had to be cautious since Lu Chen mentioned it.

Moreover, since Lu Chen is the Hall Master's Direct Disciple, it's possible that the Hall Master had given Lu Chen some special Immortal Artifact that allowed him to identify that the man was from the Chiyan Sect at a glance.

The two women also didn't ask Lu Chen how he discerned it; they completely trusted his words at the moment.

At this point, Xiao Xueying immediately prepared to use the Sound Transmission Talisman to report the earlier events to the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Seeing Xiao Xueying wanting to use the Sound Transmission Talisman, Lu Chen quickly stopped her, saying, "Senior Sister Xiao, wait, absolutely do not use the Sound Transmission Talisman."

Xiao Xueying looked at Lu Chen puzzledly, wondering why such a significant matter—Chiyan Sect publicly entering the Mysterious Moon Palace's territory to search for their Hall Master's Direct Disciple—shouldn't be reported?

Seeing Xiao Xueying's confused expression, Lu Chen felt a bit speechless, realizing that Xiao Xueying had been too well protected by the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Lu Chen directly said, "That man has the strength of a Golden Immortal. If Senior Sister Xiao uses the Sound Transmission Talisman now, he will surely sense the power fluctuations from it. If he realizes this, he will quickly react and know that I tricked him."

Upon hearing that the man was a Golden Immortal, Xiao Xueying instantly understood why Lu Chen said they couldn't use the Sound Transmission Talisman. When an Immortal's strength reaches a certain level, they can detect subtle magical fluctuations.

Once they use the Sound Transmission Talisman at this time, the man will likely become suspicious. Xiao Xueying hurriedly put the Sound Transmission Talisman away, "Junior Brother, sorry, I didn't know he was a Golden Immortal."

That man didn't release any intense aura or pressure of a strong person earlier, so both Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun thought he was just a Heavenly Immortal. They didn't expect he had deliberately hidden his strength.

Sure enough, he was after Chen Lu!

Now this is trouble!

The Chiyan Sect people have intruded looking for someone in the Mysterious Moon Palace's territory, which shows that the situation in Sky Wolf City isn't optimistic. It's possible that Sky Wolf City has already been brought under Chiyan Sect control, and the Chiyan Sect wants to capture Lu Chen to threaten their Hall Master.

At this moment, Cao Shiyun said, "The situation in Sky Wolf City is unclear. Let's return to the Mysterious Moon Palace now."

Cao Shiyun thought to herself that since Chen Lu is the Hall Master's Direct Disciple, he must not come to any harm. If anything happened to him, the Hall Master would surely blame them once she concluded her seclusion.

Lu Chen said, "No need. I was originally sent by the Mysterious Moon Palace to Sky Wolf City as an envoy. The purpose of this trip to Sky Wolf City is both for experience and to prevent any change in Sky Wolf City."

"If I flee back now, it would be a joke. How will the Senior Sisters of the Mysterious Moon Palace view me, and what would they think of my Honored Master?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women reflected and found some sense in them. Lu Chen was originally dispatched as a special envoy to manage Sky Wolf City's affairs. Even if he couldn't prevent the Chiyan Sect from annexing Sky Wolf City, at least he attempted. If Lu Chen fled without even reaching Sky Wolf City, he might be seen as a coward.

Even if Lu Chen's face was lost, the important thing was it would affect their Hall Master too. After all, their Hall Master had only two Direct Disciples, and if one became known as a coward afraid of death, who knows how people would view their Hall Master.

Lu Chen continued, "Let's first conceal our identities and head to Sky Wolf City to assess the situation. If Sky Wolf City has truly been taken over by the Chiyan Sect, we can still leave in time."

Cao Shiyun said, "Alright, let's do as Junior Brother says."

Afterwards, the three of them continued heading towards Sky Wolf City.

Meanwhile.

After passing by Lu Chen and them, Sikong Youpeng continued heading in the direction of the Mysterious Moon Palace, but after searching for a long time, he didn't encounter the Hall Master's Direct Disciple, which made Sikong Youpeng feel that something was off.

Logically, the Mysterious Moon Palace's Immortal Ship should have also reached the vicinity of Sky Wolf City by now; how could it not be encountered?

Wait a moment…

Sikong Youpeng suddenly thought for a moment, was it possible that he had already encountered them but hadn't recognized them?

Initially, he presumed the person he was looking for—being the Hall Master's Direct Disciple—would certainly have a grand presence. As an envoy heading to Sky Wolf City, the ship would naturally be adorned with the Mysterious Moon Palace's Influence Flag and insignia.

But thinking about it now, since the person was visiting Sky Wolf City to check if there were any rebellious sentiments, appearing ostentatiously would likely make those noble families clean up their acts thoroughly. Even if the person arrived, they wouldn't find anything.

So there's a high possibility the person was visiting covertly, planning to reveal their identity after discovering something.

Thinking this, Sikong Youpeng immediately thought of that earlier man. That person had two Heavenly Fairy Maids by his side; anyone taking two Heavenly Fairy Maids out must have a significant identity and status—he could very well be the Hall Master's Direct Disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace!
