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

Sensing the faint, eerie power within the aura released by Xuan Qingyun, the Blood Ancestor instantly became incredibly excited.

The Demon Emperor has finally taken some action!
She wants the Nine Heavens Courtyard, probably to release those sealed-up strange creatures!

In that case, Lu Chen would definitely make a move against her; there was absolutely no way Lu Chen would allow the Demon Emperor to release the strange creature.

He doesn't need to find a way to provoke conflict between them; he can simply sit back and watch them fight, then reap the benefits.

Blood Ancestor muttered to himself, "After waiting for so long, there's finally some movement."

……

Xuan Qingyun's voice spread throughout the entire Tianyan Immortal Realm, immediately causing concern among various forces within the realm.

What does the Nine Heavens Academy want with the Sunset Mountains?
It's impossible that the Nine Heavens Academy didn't know what was sealed inside the Sunset Mountains.
If they take over Sunset Mountain Range, doesn't that mean they'll also be responsible for guarding those strange creatures?

Why is the Demon Emperor suddenly being so kind?
Could it be that she's planning to release all those strange creatures?

Eastern Region.

Tianxi Palace.

Lu Chen sat upright on the beautiful woman's soft couch, his face full of worry and distress.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor Xiyue lay lazily to one side, her cool and charming eyes fixed on Lu Chen. "Could it be that the Demon Emperor is trying to release all those strange creatures by suddenly doing this?"

Lu Chen said, "She's not a strange creature, so why would she release those strange creatures?"

"She grows stronger by relying on negative emotions. If the strange creatures are released and destroy the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, she will lose her source of power, which would be tantamount to draining the pond to catch all the fish."

Although the release of the strange creatures will bring great disaster to the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, which will cause Xuan Qingyun to gain more fear power and negative emotions in a short period of time, once the strange creatures destroy the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, Xuan Qingyun will have nowhere to gain negative emotions.

Moreover, if she were to actually do that, the Nine Heavens Academy she founded would most likely be destroyed by the strange creatures in the end, which would be like shooting herself in the foot.

At this moment, Immortal Emperor Xiyue guessed, "Could it be that she has realized the importance of the Sunset Mountains and intends to personally guard them?"

Upon hearing Xiyue Immortal Emperor's conjecture, Lu Chen remained silent. To be honest, he found it hard to believe that Xuan Qingyun was so responsible.

If she were truly so responsible, she might have personally taken action when reinforcing the seal of the Sunset Mountains. Moreover, Xuan Qingyun didn't personally intervene when the Southern Region destroyed the seals of those forbidden areas in the Sunset Mountains later.

Let alone her personal intervention, she didn't even send any immortals from the Nine Heavens Academy to help seal those forbidden areas. Now she suddenly says she'll help guard against the strange creatures. Is that even possible?
She did this more likely because she felt it was profitable.

As for what she's after, only she herself probably knows.

Just then, Immortal Emperor Xiyue frowned slightly as she sensed a terrifying divine thought descending upon Sunset Mountain Range.

Lu Chen, who was in Baihong Immortal City, immediately came out of the courtyard. When he came out, the immortals from the Eastern Region who were responsible for guarding the Sunset Mountains had already arrived in the sky.

High in the sky, a woman wearing a purple veil and a long purple fairy dress exuded a strong demonic power.

Although she did not release any pressure, the faces of all the immortals in the sky showed expressions of fear.

The immortals of the Eastern Region had all cultivated the Divine Illumination Thousand Lamps Scripture, and their immortal power had a certain degree of restraint over the power of the Heavenly Demon. However, after the immortals present sensed the power of the Heavenly Demon on that woman, they felt as if their immortal power was frozen, and a nameless fear rose in their hearts.

The immortals immediately guessed the woman's identity. With such strong demonic power, and the ability to intimidate all the immortals in the Eastern Region without releasing any pressure, there was probably only the Demon Emperor.

To be precise, it was the Demon Emperor's divine consciousness clone. At this moment, Xuan Qingyun, who was standing in mid-air, glanced at the immortals present. With just this one glance, the immortals present felt as if their souls were being pricked by needles.

At this moment, Lu Chen flew to the edge of the Sunset Mountains and used his immortal power to amplify his voice high in the sky, saying, "Heavenly Mystery Maiden, it's been a long time!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, all the immortals were stunned.

The Heavenly Secret Woman? Who is that?
Isn't this the Demon Emperor?

Does Lu Chen know the Demon Emperor?

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, Xuan Qingyun's gaze instantly locked onto Lu Chen's location. Seeing the overwhelming aura emanating from Lu Chen, Xuan Qingyun couldn't help but clench her jade fist.

If it weren't for Lu Chen, she might have already refined the Heavenly Dao.

She was already close to refining the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao actually dissipated all her luck and distributed it to the entire Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm. Fortunately, she was not so dependent on the luck of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm; what she needed was the power of fear and negative emotions.

If she became an Immortal Emperor through normal means, and the Heavenly Dao dissipated all her fortune, then her strength would inevitably fall below that of an Immortal Emperor.

Xuan Qingyun quickly stabilized the restless demonic power within her body. She was somewhat surprised, as she hadn't experienced any emotional fluctuations for many years.

She had just seen Lu Chen and actually felt angry towards him.

It must be said that Lu Chen truly deserves to be the one chosen by the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm.

Xuan Qingyun then said, "Heavenly Mystery Woman, that's such an ancient title. I prefer the title Demon Emperor."

Lu Chen said, "Is it a long time? For an Immortal Emperor, a hundred million years is just a blink of an eye, let alone how many years it has been since we last met."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Xuan Qingyun's cold voice, neither sad nor happy, came, "From today onwards, Sunset Mountain Range belongs to Nine Heavens Academy, and you no longer need to watch over it."

Lu Chen said with a serious expression, "I'm curious, what do you want with the Sunset Mountains?"

"The Sunset Mountains contain a monster capable of destroying the entire Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm."

Xuan Qingyun said indifferently, "I have no comment."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Qingyun slowly raised her jade hand. The moment she raised her hand, the array patterns of the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array appeared at her fingertips.

The next moment, the array patterns of the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array expanded instantly, directly covering the entire Sunset Mountain Range.

The immortals present were stunned by this scene.

Is this the power of the Celestial Emperor?

With a wave of his hand, a Saint-level formation was formed.

Moreover, the power emanating from the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array was even more terrifying than the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array jointly activated by dozens of Immortal Venerables. They now felt as if countless mountains were pressing down on their souls.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Qingyun's voice rang in the ears of everyone in the Southern Region.

"town!"

As soon as the words fell, the Chaotic Spirit Ruins Sealing Array descended from the sky, sealing off the Sunset Mountains. Not only were the Sunset Mountains sealed, but the area where they originally stood turned into a black mist. The entire Sunset Mountains were shrouded in the power of the Heavenly Demon, becoming a forbidden zone. (End of Chapter)
