Chapter 1587 - 1277: Junior Brother Chen, are you really from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty?

The thought of being deceived by Lu Chen ignited a spark of anger in Sikong Youpeng's heart.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and headed towards Sky Wolf City, planning to ambush and kill Lu Chen near there.

Since the opponent was heading to Sky Wolf City, he was bound to show up there. He initially wanted to take advantage of Lu Chen not having reached Sky Wolf City yet, to deal with him, so that no one would suspect him.

He needed to stay hidden in the Chiyan Sect for a while longer; being exposed prematurely would be disadvantageous for him.

However, since he did not recognize the Hall Master's Direct Disciple from the Mysterious Moon Palace, he could only wait for an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Sikong Youpeng sped towards Sky Wolf City as fast as he could.

At this time, Lu Chen had already asked Xiao Xueying to put away the Immortal Ship, and they proceeded to Sky Wolf City using low-altitude sword flight.

Lu Chen had already guessed that Sikong Youpeng might realize what was happening, and once he did, he would definitely come after them with the fastest speed possible.

With their current power, they were certainly slower than Sikong Youpeng, who was a Golden Immortal, so it was best for them to abandon the Immortal Ship, disguise themselves, and head to Sky Wolf City.

On the way to Sky Wolf City, Lu Chen asked in confusion, "Why isn't there a Teleportation Array in Sky Wolf City?"

The entire Tianyan Immortal Domain is even larger than the universe inside a Chaos Beast's belly, and Teleportation Arrays are used quite frequently within this Tianyan Immortal Domain.

Lu Chen was puzzled. For a relatively distant city like Sky Wolf City, it would make sense to have a Teleportation Array to manage it more effectively. That way, people from the Mysterious Moon Palace could reach Sky Wolf City quickly.

Xiao Xueying said, "There used to be Teleportation Arrays, but over the past few million years, many city arrays broke down, and they weren't repaired. If all Teleportation Arrays were fixed, it would cost a fortune in Spirit Crystals, along with maintenance, so it was easier to simply not repair them."

Lu Chen thought about it and realized that under the rule of the Mysterious Moon Palace, there were countless cities. If each city had a Teleportation Array, the Spirit Crystal expenditure would indeed be enormous.

It's an economic calculation, not really an inability to repair but an unnecessary expense.

After chatting with Lu Chen, Xiao Xueying took the initiative to ask, "Junior Brother Chen, are you really from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Shiyun also slowed down her pace, slightly turning to listen to Lu Chen's response.

Lu Chen replied while continuing his sword flight, "I just made that up. I've been wandering in the Tianyan Immortal Domain for several million years and have long forgotten where I came from."

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women felt a little disappointed. Earlier, they had wondered if this Chen Lu could be the reincarnation of Lu Chen.

Now thinking about it, upon entering the Chaotic Sea, even an Immortal's Divine Soul would dissipate, so how could reincarnation be possible?

Chen Lu is simply Chen Lu and has no connection with Lu Chen.

The two women stopped their wild speculations.

After a few days of travel, they finally arrived at Sky Wolf City, but upon reaching the city's gate, they did not enter immediately.

There were many soldiers outside Sky Wolf City, suggesting that security had been tightened.

Sky Wolf City claimed to be preparing for the arrival of an envoy, worried that some malicious individuals might threaten the envoy, thus the strengthening of the guards.

However, with one glance, Lu Chen could tell that the City Lord of Sky Wolf City was worried they would slip into the city among the crowd, so they made an excuse about ensuring the envoy's safety.

Lu Chen used his Divine Sense to explore and found that the gate area mostly consisted of ordinary people, but there was a Heavenly Immortal on the city wall.

Lu Chen withdrew his Divine Sense to avoid being detected.

Seeing so many people guarding the city gate, Xiao Xueying asked, "What should we do now?"

Cao Shiyun thought for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "We can't possibly stay out forever; we might as well reveal our identities."

Xiao Xueying replied, "We still can't be sure if Sky Wolf City is entirely under the control of the Chiyan Sect. If we expose our identities now, it could be disadvantageous for us."

Lu Chen thought a bit. Since they had already reached Sky Wolf City, not entering meant they couldn't learn about the current situation inside.

Lu Chen glanced at the mortals coming and going outside Sky Wolf City, then approached another mortal on the road to inquire about recent events in Sky Wolf City.

Earlier, they had already asked mortals about Sky Wolf City's situation. Currently, Sky Wolf City was nominally still under the Mysterious Moon Palace, and the citizens believed that too.

The reason Lu Chen and his companions were hesitant to enter was out of concern that the City Lord and some families in Sky Wolf City might have revolted. Entering now would be akin to trapping themselves, as people from the Chiyan Sect had come to the Mysterious Moon Palace territory seeking them, meaning there must be collaborators inside Sky Wolf City.

When Lu Chen finished speaking with the mortal, Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun approached him, and Xiao Xueying said, "Junior Brother Chen, we should go back. The situation feels off."

Lu Chen said, "Since I'm the envoy dispatched by the Mysterious Moon Palace, I must fulfill my duties."

"We could visit nearby cities and inquire about Sky Wolf City's current situation."

Several other cities were near Sky Wolf City. Given the complicated situation there, it would be wiser to check out other cities first, as he had come to Sky Wolf City for training and was not required to enter it.

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall; knowing that Sky Wolf City was risky and without assured safety precautions, Lu Chen wouldn't rashly enter.

After hearing Lu Chen's suggestion, the two women thought it was reasonable and thus left Sky Wolf City, heading to Jianning City, which was not far away.

Jianning City was just a small city, less than an hour's journey from Sky Wolf City, although that's for an Immortal.

For mortals, going from Jianning City to Sky Wolf City would take at least two days, and many mortal merchant caravans traveling to Sky Wolf City would rest in Jianning City for a night, meaning there was plenty of information about Sky Wolf City available there.

After settling in at an inn in Jianning City, Lu Chen, accompanied by Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun, went to a tavern frequented by merchants, drinking while listening to people's chatter.

"I don't know what happened, but recently Sky Wolf City suddenly went into lockdown. Our caravans can't get in, not even with bribes."

"You didn't hear? They say the envoy from the Mysterious Moon Palace is coming. The City Lord of Sky Wolf City is worried that someone might sneak in with a caravan to harm the envoy, so that's why they locked it down."

"We are all just mortals; what power do we have to harm an Immortal? Even if someone did want to harm the envoy, it would likely be an Immortal."

"Exactly! Those most likely to harm the envoy would be the noble families of Sky Wolf City."

…

Hearing the conversation, Lu Chen brought a large jug of wine over to the next table.

Seeing Lu Chen's arrival, the mortals looked at him in confusion, and the Guard Commander of the caravan looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Young sir, what do you want?"
