Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife
Chapter 1588 - 1278 Yun Qingshu Gives Birth

Seeing Lu Chen dressed in splendid white robes, with a white jade belt around his waist, and exuding a celestial aura, Xu Weifeng, the Guard Commander of the caravan, knew that Lu Chen's identity was extraordinary.

Lu Chen took the initiative to pour a bowl of wine for Xu Weifeng and two others, then sat down beside them, "I'm planning to go to Sky Wolf City. I just heard you discussing Sky Wolf City, so I wanted to find out the current situation there from you."

Hearing this, Xu Weifeng immediately said, "Young master, let me give you a piece of advice: you'd better not go to Sky Wolf City recently."

"Only a handful of people can enter Sky Wolf City now, and we just returned from there."

Lu Chen asked, "Because of that special envoy from the Mysterious Moon Palace?"

Xu Weifeng said, "Yes, I've heard that the envoy's identity is quite extraordinary. The City Lord of Sky Wolf City is afraid the envoy might encounter some danger, so the city is on lockdown."

Lu Chen said, "Since the envoy is from the Mysterious Moon Palace, nobody would dare to harm him within the palace's territory, would they? What is there to guard against?"

Xu Weifeng picked up the bowl of wine and drank a bowl, and Lu Chen immediately refilled it for him. Xu Weifeng continued, "Who knows? When the envoys from the Mysterious Moon Palace came to Sky Wolf City before, they didn't impose a lockdown. I even saw a celestial envoy from the Mysterious Moon Palace twenty years ago."

At this time, a guard beside Xu Weifeng said, "I feel that something major is about to happen in Sky Wolf City. Us mortals can't possibly threaten the celestial beings, yet even mortals are not allowed in. Could it be that the noble families are planning to make a move against the envoy?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Weifeng hastily said, "Don't speak recklessly, or the celestials might hear you."

The man said, "I'm not speaking recklessly. Those noble families have produced quite a few celestials now. I don't believe they have no dealings with the Chiyan Sect."

Lu Chen said, "It's not strange for those noble families to have celestials, is it?"

Xu Weifeng said, "Indeed, it's not strange. Although the Mysterious Moon Palace only accepts female disciples, male clan members from those noble families can join the subsidiary forces of the Mysterious Moon Palace."

"However..."

"The industries of those noble families in Sky Wolf City haven't expanded to the south. On this trade route, there are hardly any caravans from the major families, while to the north lies the territory of the Chiyan Sect, and the caravans from the major families only head north. This doesn't make sense."

Sky Wolf City is under the rule of the Mysterious Moon Palace. Logically, when doing business, they should prioritize other cities within the palace, as within the palace their industries and interests are protected. Yet, they choose not to develop southward but to head north.

The north is under the rule of the Chiyan Sect, and developing in the sect's territory doesn't offer them protection.

Those noble families can't possibly not know this. They are well aware that their industries and interests won't be protected, yet they still insist on developing in the territory of the Chiyan Sect, which indeed doesn't make sense.

Xu Weifeng continued, "The noble families in Sky Wolf City seem to be preparing to break away from the Mysterious Moon Palace at any moment."

Hearing Xu Weifeng's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment. It seems those noble families in Sky Wolf City really plan to turn to the Chiyan Sect. If he enters Sky Wolf City today, it might indeed be a death sentence.

This really puts him in a difficult position. Although he has recovered all his memories from the Tianyan Immortal Domain, his cultivation is still at the Earth Immortal Realm. With his current strength, he can't contend with the Golden Immortal he encountered before. Could it be that they really have to return?

Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, suddenly, a system notification sounded.

"Yun Qingshu has given birth to twins for the host, rewarding the host with the Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword, the Immortal Slaying Sword, and the Immortal King's Remain Curse."

Hearing the system notification, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback. Yun Qingshu gave birth? And twins?

Finally, they were born. He had been waiting a long time for this reward, and he's unsure if these two rewards will be enough to get him out of the current predicament.

Lu Chen then glanced at the Immortal Slaying Sword. Even when he was in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, he never owned a Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword. He had never even seen one. Such level of Immortal Artifacts are usually the Sect Guardian Treasures of some Immortal Sects and are not casually taken out.

This Immortal Sword is useful to him, but relying solely on a Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword may still not be enough to kill a Golden Immortal.

There is a three-realm difference between a Golden Immortal and an Earth Immortal. Holding the Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword at most allows him to leap two realms in power.

Lu Chen then turned his gaze to the Immortal King's Remain Curse.

He had never heard of this thing before, but anything with "Immortal King" attached to it doesn't seem like an ordinary treasure.

Lu Chen immediately opened the description of the Immortal King's Remain Curse.

[Immortal King's Remain Curse: An imprint left by a certain Immortal King before death. Activating the imprint allows the host to temporarily possess the power of an Immortal King, and the imprint can restore its power by itself for multiple uses.]

Seeing the effect of the Immortal King's Remain Curse, Lu Chen fell into silence.

It's like a pillow when you're sleepy; the system is as considerate as always...

While Lu Chen was lost in thought, Xu Weifeng continued, "Young master, the situation in Sky Wolf City is unclear. Now is not the time to go there."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "You're right. I plan to stay a few more days in Jianning City and see how things develop."

"Thank you for sharing this information with me. This jar of wine is my gift to you."

With that, Lu Chen turned and left.

With the Immortal King's Remain Curse, why should he fear any Golden Immortal?

He simply charged ahead, curious about what antics the noble families of Sky Wolf City were up to.

Lu Chen then left the tavern with Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun. Watching Lu Chen and the others leave, Xu Weifeng's eyes flickered slightly.

At this moment, a caravan guard said, "This young master doesn't seem like an ordinary person. Could he be a noble son of some family? If he heard us speaking ill of those families, will he..."

The guard trailed off, and hearing this, another guard immediately broke into a cold sweat.

Xu Weifeng brought over the wine jar that Lu Chen had left on the table, poured himself a bowl of wine, and then said lightly, "His identity is far more prestigious than those noble sons."

Hearing Xu Weifeng's words, the guards were stunned, and Xu Weifeng continued, "There's a good show coming."

Although Xu Weifeng was just a mortal, he often led caravans across the land and had seen all kinds of people; he had even seen plenty of celestials.

This person inquired about the situation in Sky Wolf City right away, coupled with his otherworldly demeanor, Xu Weifeng had already guessed his identity. He said so much just to specifically warn that person of the changes in Sky Wolf City and advise him not to go.

At this moment, Xu Weifeng suddenly realized that a warm current flowed instantly throughout his body, followed by an unusually clear mind. The next moment, he sensed the blue Spiritual Energy flowing in the air.

Xu Weifeng was overjoyed, standing up in excitement. The next moment, he almost knelt down, but finally, he restrained himself and refrained from bowing in the direction Lu Chen had left.
