Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Lu Chen really couldn’t understand why someone would spread this news and what was the purpose of it?
He didn't think this was groundless. After all, such a long time had passed, and if someone suddenly brought up his matter, there must be some purpose behind it.

Seeing that Lu Chen was distracted, Xiao Xueying said at this time: "Could it be that because the leader of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty is about to pass away, the kings of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty are spreading this news in order to accuse King Guangren of colluding with external forces in order to compete for the throne?"

Lu Chen thought about it for a moment, then said, "Not likely."

"Inside the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, anyone who has lived from more than a billion years ago to today basically knows that the events of that year were related to Lu Jingfu. Whether there is such a rumor or not has no impact on Lu Jingfu."

The fight for the throne in the Immortal Dynasty is slightly different from that in ordinary secular dynasties. Perhaps in the eyes of secular dynasties, colluding with external forces is a shame, but in the Immortal Dynasty, if a king can establish relationships with many top forces, it is actually a plus.

Therefore, Lu Jingfu's ability to establish connections with those top forces not only had no negative impact on him, but was beneficial to his fight for the throne.

The bigwigs within the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, including the royal family's servants, valued Lu Jingfu even more when they saw that he had such a wide network of contacts.

At this time, Lu Chen couldn't help but think, could it be that Lu Jingfu took the initiative to release this news and regarded this incident as his achievement?
You know what, this is really possible.

If it was Lu Jingfu who released this news, then he was most likely trying to remind some people within the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty that he had dealings with many top forces in order to get rid of King Chen, so when choosing a side, these people had better think carefully about who to choose.

After thinking of this possibility, Lu Chen no longer took it to heart. He smiled and said to Xiao Xueying: "Let's ignore this matter for now. But you, Senior Sister Cao, have already reached the True Immortal Realm. You have to work hard too."

"Let me help you cultivate, and I hope you can break through to the True Immortal Realm within a hundred years."

Xiao Xueying blushed and said, "You just helped Senior Sister Cao, and it was very tiring. Your health is more important. You should rest for a while."

Lu Chen stroked Xiao Xueying's jade cheek, looked into her beautiful eyes and said, "For me, this is just a kind of practice. I don't need to rest."

Xiao Xueying curled her lips and then said, "Okay."

Then Lu Chen and Xiao Xueying went to the room next to Cao Shiyun to practice.

White Feather City.

Lu Zhengze looked at the crying woman in front of him and fell into deep thought. Then he asked, "Are you sure Lu Yao hasn't been home for half a year?"

The woman said, "Wow... He really hasn't been back for half a year. At first we thought you had assigned him some kind of job, so he hadn't come back. Later, when I saw that he hadn't come back, I took the initiative to ask Commander Wang of the City Lord's Mansion about it, but Commander Wang didn't know where he had gone."

Lu Zhengze then said to the soldier beside him: "Go and call Wang Xiujie."

After he finished speaking, Lu Zhengze said to the woman in front of him: "Don't worry, we will definitely find Lu Yao."

Although Lu Yao is just a small soldier in the City Lord's Mansion's personal guard, he is the descendant of those who followed King Chen to Baiyu City.

There are not many descendants of those people left. Now that King Chen has returned, these people may be used in the future. Even if he is just a small soldier, his whereabouts must be found out.

Not long after, a strong man in golden armor came to Lu Zhengze and said, "Greetings to the City Lord!" Lu Zhengze asked directly, "You didn't arrange for Lu Yao to perform other tasks?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiujie was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, Lu Yao's wife came to ask me about his whereabouts, and I thought you, the city lord, had arranged for him to carry out a special mission."

Lu Zhengze frowned. The personal guards of the City Lord's Mansion had been missing for half a year, and they had no idea about it at all. He had been so busy recently, busy with the expansion of Baiyu City, that he didn't notice what was happening around him at all.

Lu Zhengze immediately said, "Immediately send someone to find Lu Yao's whereabouts. If he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body."

At this time, Lu Zhengze felt vaguely uneasy. Lu Yao was the personal guard of the City Lord's Mansion. Lu Yao also saw Lu Chen when he came back.

Although Lu Yao did not know Lu Chen, Lu Chen was in his memory. If his memory was read by someone, someone who knew Lu Chen would be able to immediately recognize Lu Chen through Lu Yao's memory. This was no trivial matter.

Although such a coincidence may not happen, it is a serious matter and should be treated with caution.

In the next few days, the soldiers of Baiyu City were looking for Lu Yao, but no matter how hard they looked, they could not find Lu Yao's whereabouts. Instead, they found that many people had suddenly disappeared recently.

After learning that it was not just Lu Yao who disappeared, Lu Zhengze's sense of crisis became even stronger. He had realized that someone was capturing soldiers from Baiyu City to find out the situation. Perhaps many things about Baiyu City had been leaked.

If it was just to gather intelligence about Baiyu City, it would not be surprising. After all, Baiyu City had never expanded in the past. The population of Baiyu City had become increasingly sparse over the years. He, as the city lord, had always been very negative. Now he suddenly cheered up, vigorously rectified Baiyu City, and actively expanded it. This would definitely make the surrounding cities curious about what happened in Baiyu City, and thus send people to gather information.

But if the purpose is just to gather intelligence, there is no need for the other party to take the person away. After all, this may expose their whereabouts. In cases like this, if someone is taken away, the person is basically dead.

Lu Zhengze thought to himself that the person was able to be taken away right under his nose, which proved that the person who captured him was at least an immortal and had the ability to hide his aura.

If it was done by an immortal, it would probably not be easy for him to find out who did it.

But no matter what, this proves that someone has set their sights on Baiyu City, and they must be more cautious in their next actions.

City Lord's Mansion.

In the meeting hall, Lu Zhengze sat in the main seat and listened to the reports from the soldiers in the hall.

At this time, Wang Xiujie, the commander of the City Lord's Palace guards, said, "City Lord, I have issued an order that from now on, the City Lord's Palace guards must gather at the City Lord's Palace every morning for roll call. If any soldier disappears, we will be able to find it immediately."

In the past, the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion did not need to assemble every day. The on-duty personnel were written in the duty roster. If there were some soldiers who were not on duty for a long time, they would disappear for a few days without being discovered.

Although some people have gone missing, no one can tell whether someone will attack the City Lord's guards again, so it's better to be careful.

At this time, a soldier entered the hall, "Your Majesty, there have been many rumors about King Chen in Tianxia Immortal Dynasty recently." (End of this chapter)
