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

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the warships outside the Eastern Immortal City, the Eastern Immortal King knew that there must be Immortal Venerables on those warships.

He was just a Celestial King. Although Donghuang Celestial City was protected by an array, if a Celestial Venerable made a move, the city's protective array probably wouldn't last long.

Is surrendering the only option left?
He can surrender, but the other side might not accept it.

The resources of the Celestial Realm are limited. At the beginning of any war, the attacking side must kill some people, partly to deter resistance forces and partly to reduce the population and thus reduce competition.

Moreover, if he really betrayed the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, he would probably be dealt with by the higher-ups of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect before he even had a chance to join the invaders.

Just as the Eastern Emperor Immortal King was filled with fear and unease, the aura of an Immortal Venerable appeared within the Eastern Emperor Immortal City.

The Eastern Emperor Immortal King was taken aback. This aura of an Immortal Venerable appeared directly within the Immortal City, which meant that someone from the Immortal Sect had arrived.

The Eastern Emperor Immortal King was overjoyed and said to the city guards present, "A great man has arrived. Please follow me to pay him a visit immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eastern Emperor Immortal King led a group of generals from the City Lord's Mansion to the teleportation array.

As soon as they arrived at the plaza where the teleportation array was located, they discovered that this time it was not a special envoy from the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, nor an ordinary elder, but the sect leader himself.

Upon seeing that it was Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao who had come in person, Immortal King Donghuang quickly came before Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao and said, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable said calmly, "You have worked hard. Now, leave everything to me."

At this point, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao looked at Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, what does the flag of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty look like?"

Upon hearing Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable's words, all the generals of Donghuang Immortal City were stunned.

His Majesty? ? ?

What, Your Majesty?
Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable is the sect master of Xuanxiao Immortal Sect. How could he address others as "Your Majesty"? Even if it were an Immortal Emperor of a certain Immortal Dynasty, Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable would only address him as "Immortal Emperor So-and-so".

To address someone as "Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor" implies that the Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao is of a lower status than the person before him.

The people of Donghuang Immortal City glanced at Lu Chen, and they could clearly sense that Lu Chen was only at the Immortal Lord level.

How can a mere Immortal Lord, whose cultivation is not even as high as that of the city lord of Donghuang Immortal City, be worthy of being called "Your Majesty" by Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable?
Despite his confusion, the Eastern Emperor Immortal King did not ask directly. He believed that their sect leader was not a fool and must have his reasons for doing so.

At this moment, Lu Chen raised his hand, and a stream of immortal power was released from his fingertips. The next moment, a huge banner appeared in the sky above Donghuang Immortal City, with the character "Qin" in the middle of the banner.

The strange phenomenon above Donghuang Immortal City immediately caught the attention of Immortal Venerable Longteng on the Canglong Palace warship. Upon seeing the character "Qin", Immortal Venerable Longteng frowned, and he had a vague premonition of something bad.

He didn't know that it was the flag of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, but the appearance of a flag representing another force on the territory of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect meant that the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect had likely changed hands.

They were preparing to attack the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect when it changed hands, and to a force they didn't know about, which seemed suspicious.

Just as Immortal Venerable Longteng was about to send someone to investigate and see what was going on, a familiar voice came from high in the sky, "Palace Master Longteng, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Do you know that the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has already belonged to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, so you want to borrow a passage?" Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Longteng was immediately enraged.

He said that seeing the character "Qin" gave him a bad feeling, and it turned out that this "Qin" was the "Qin" of the Great Qin Dynasty!
The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has actually been taken over by the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty?
How did Lu Chen manage to do that?
The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is stronger than the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, so why would it willingly become a subordinate force of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty?

Immortal Venerable Longteng coldly said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, your methods are truly brilliant! The army of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty hasn't even entered the Southern Region yet, and you've already taken down an Immortal Sect without shedding a drop of blood!"

Lu Chen's voice followed immediately, "Not at all, it was just good luck."

At this moment, the immortals of the Azure Dragon Palace could no longer stand still. One of them said to the Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable, "Palace Master, are we really going to hand over the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect to them?"

"Anyway, the army of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty hasn't arrived yet, and other forces in the wilderness are still on their way, so why don't we..."

The immortal venerable hesitated, but he believed that the Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable understood his meaning.

Upon hearing the Immortal Venerable's words, Immortal Venerable Longteng fell silent for a moment. To be honest, he was somewhat unwilling to give up such a lucrative opportunity as the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

However, considering Lu Chen's special status, he is likely to play a significant role in the final battle between the Wilderness and the Southern Region. Offending Lu Chen at this time would not be a good thing for their Azure Dragon Palace.

They don't know the Blood Ancestor's strength yet. Although they all guess that the Blood Ancestor is just an Immortal Emperor whose lifespan is about to end and whose strength has declined drastically, an Immortal Emperor is still an Immortal Emperor. In time, the Wildlands may have to rely on Lu Chen's Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Formation to defeat the Blood Ancestor.

Lu Chen's importance is beyond doubt.

Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable said coldly, "Immortal Emperor Qin, the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is stronger than your Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. Be careful not to be overwhelmed by its power."

Although he knew he couldn't completely offend Lu Chen, he was still furious that Lu Chen had beaten him to it twice in a row. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't mock Lu Chen.

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Longteng. I will pay attention."

Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable snorted coldly again and said, "Since the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has already submitted to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and we are both barbaric forces, surely the Qin Immortal Emperor will allow us to pass through, right?"

The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect controls numerous immortal cities and has a vast territory; taking a detour would waste a lot of time.

In any case, the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty is now nominally an affiliated force of the Hidden Moon Sect. Since the Azure Dragon Palace wants to pass through, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable does not believe that Lu Chen will refuse.

Lu Chen said, "That's natural, but I hope that the Dragon Soaring Palace Master can manage the people of the Azure Dragon Palace well and prevent them from doing anything that is detrimental to harmony."

Immortal Venerable Longteng stopped wasting words with Lu Chen and directly addressed the group of immortals behind him: "Continue forward! Also, give the order that the people of the Azure Dragon Palace are not allowed to cause trouble in the Profound Cloud Immortal Sect!"

Although the immortals of the Azure Dragon Palace were all seething with anger, since the Dragon Soaring Immortal had given the order, they couldn't say much.

Moreover, they also understood why their temple master did not want to offend Si Luchen at this time.

And so, Immortal Venerable Longteng led the warships of the Azure Dragon Palace to continue eastward toward the Southern Region.

Seeing the towering warships disappear from Donghuang Immortal City, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. With that, their Xuanxiao Immortal Sect had passed this calamity. (End of Chapter)
