The elders and princes present, seeing that the Fire Emperor had agreed to Zhu Chen's request to abdicate, did not voice any further objections, even though they were still unwilling.

They all bowed to Zhu Chen, indicating their obedience to his will.

A few days passed quickly.

On this day, the teleportation array in the capital of the Fire Kingdom suddenly flashed with light.

A familiar figure appeared in the light.

It was Huo Ling'er who rushed back after receiving the message.

After not seeing her for several months, the girl's aura had changed somewhat.

It seems that the other party did not waste time in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and is still diligently cultivating.

However, when Zhu Chen arrived at the teleportation platform and saw that only Huo Ling'er had returned, his brows furrowed slightly.

He walked up to the array platform, looked at Huo Ling'er, and asked, "Ling'er, where is Yunxi? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er's smiling lips curled slightly, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Zhu Chen: "You heartless bastard, you only care about Sister Yunxi. We haven't seen each other for months, why don't you care about me first?"

As she spoke, she turned her head away, crossed her arms, and deliberately struck a pose that said, "I'm very unhappy and need to be coaxed."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

Having seen countless women, he could naturally tell that the girl wasn't truly angry, but rather jealous.

He waved the others away, then stepped forward and familiarly put his arm around Huo Ling'er's shoulder, saying affectionately, "It's not that I don't care about you, it's just that Yunxi's situation is special right now, so I can't help but ask a question. In my heart, you two are equally important, without any bias."

Hearing Zhu Chen's comforting words, Huo Ling'er's feigned temper vanished.

She slowly turned her head back, a bright smile returning to her face, and said coquettishly, "That's more like it. Since you're so sincere in admitting your mistake, I'll tell you about Sister Yunxi."

At this point, Huo Ling'er's expression became slightly more serious: "Actually, Sister Yunxi returned to Tianshen Mountain a few days after you left Butian Pavilion. She said that it was very dangerous for her grandfather Yun Canghai to be alone on Tianshen Mountain, and she had to go back as soon as possible."

“I originally wanted to go to Tianshen Mountain with her so that we could look out for each other, but she refused. She said that if I went with her, it would be more dangerous. She insisted on facing it alone, so I had no choice but to let her go.”

"By the way, Sister Yunxi also said you don't need to worry about her. She is, after all, a Holy Maiden of the Celestial Race. Even if she makes a mistake, the Celestial Race won't do anything to her. At most, she'll just have to go back to the Upper Realm to receive her punishment and be imprisoned for a few hundred years..."

Zhu Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

With his experience, he could naturally tell at a glance that Yunxi was lying.

The claim of 'returning to the upper realm to receive punishment' is probably just a pretext.

Despite being a holy maiden of the Celestial Race, she had a close relationship with him, a "descendant of sinful blood."

Especially now that she's pregnant.

If the Celestial Race in the Upper Realm were to learn of this, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

It's definitely not as simple as just putting someone in solitary confinement.

Yunxi chose to return to Tianshen Mountain alone, probably because she had received some news and did not want to involve him and Huo Ling'er.

"That silly woman..."

Zhu Chen murmured to himself, a sense of responsibility welling up within him.

The child in Yunxi's womb is his flesh and blood. How could he let his woman face the pressure from the clan alone?
Upon realizing this, Zhu Chen immediately said to Huo Ling'er, "Ling'er, you've just returned, so rest well in the capital. Your father will discuss the matter of the succession to the throne with you in detail. You also need to personally participate in the preparations for the coronation ceremony. I need to go to Tian Shen Mountain immediately to make sure Yun Xi is safe and sound."

Although Huo Ling'er could occasionally be a little temperamental, she was extremely sensible when it came to important matters. Knowing the difficulties Yun Xi might face on her journey, and seeing Zhu Chen's solemn expression, she put away her joking mood and nodded seriously, saying, "Go with peace of mind. I'll take care of things in the capital. You must bring Sister Yun Xi back safely."

Zhu Chen nodded and prepared to turn and head towards the Heavenly God Mountain.
However, at that moment, a clear and rapid fluctuation suddenly came from the vast cave world within his body.

That was the second body of Yuechan, who had been suppressed deep within the cave by him, actively calling out to him.

Zhu Chen paused, and with a slight thought, he released a beautiful, ethereal figure, yet with a hint of trepidation, which landed not far away.

It was Yuechan's second body.

At this moment, Yuechan's face no longer showed her usual coolness and composure; instead, it was filled with an unprecedented anxiety.

She didn't even have time to observe her surroundings before her gaze was fixed on Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen looked at her and spoke first: "You're in such a hurry to find me, have you thought it through and are willing to completely leave the Patching Heaven Sect?"

Yuechan's secondary body shook her head vigorously, her voice trembling slightly, and her expression was solemn as she said, "It's not that, Zhu Chen. I don't have time to argue with you about this. My main body... she has already descended to the lower realm, and I can clearly sense that she is heading towards the capital of the Fire Kingdom at an extremely fast speed!"

Upon hearing Yuechan's words, Zhu Chen's brows furrowed instantly.

Why did Yuechan choose to descend to the mortal realm at this particular time of year?

He still had to rush to Tian Shen Mountain to rescue Yun Xi.

"So you're telling me all this now because you want me to get rid of your original body?"

Zhu Chen looked calmly at Yue Chan and asked.

Upon hearing this, Yuechan's secondary body hesitated slightly before speaking, "Don't misunderstand, I just came out to remind you. After all, the main body's cultivation method is quite special. Although she is a Venerable Realm cultivator, she is by no means an ordinary Venerable."

Even if Yuechan didn't say it, Zhu Chen was well aware of this matter.

The rules governing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are more complete than those governing the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Yuechan Dichong and the others are only at the Venerable Realm now; if they really fight...

The Venerable cultivators of the lower realms would be no match for them.

But it's a pity.

He was no ordinary venerable being from the lower realms.

If the main body of Yuechan were to treat him politely this time, it would be fine.

If the other party tries to forcibly seize the secondary body, he wouldn't mind letting Yuechan's main and secondary bodies merge ahead of time.

As for how to help Yuechan's secondary body take over the main body, he has plenty of ways.

If all else fails, just like in the original story, let the main body of Yuechan experience the harsh realities of society.

That will definitely make her behave!
"Don't worry, if your main body tries to make things difficult for you this time, I will help you..."

Zhu Chen looked at Yue Chan and said confidently.

No matter how powerful those Venerable Ones in the Upper Realm are, they are still just Venerable Ones in the end.

He can even kill cultivators at the Divine Fire Realm now, so how could he not be able to deal with a mere Moon Chan Master?
