Chapter 2499 - 2189: The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty Is Truly Generous

When Lu Chen’s wives and concubines were mentioned, Chu Qingli suddenly thought of something.

Since they wanted Lu Chen to join the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, they had to guard against other powers trying to win him over.

And right now, the influence within the Zhen Nan Prince Manor was far from limited to their Heavenly Profound Sacred Land alone; this had to be brought to her Honored Master’s attention.

So Chu Qingli immediately said, "Honored Master, there aren’t only people from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was taken aback for a moment.

Not only people from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land—what did that mean?

She immediately asked, "Which other powers are there?"

Chu Qingli answered, "There are also disciples from the Qionghua Holy Land, the Sky Wolf Palace, and the Sky Demon Sect."

Hearing Chu Qingli’s answer, Chu Yuqin was stunned again.

The Qionghua Holy Land and Sky Wolf Palace could still be tolerated, but how could there also be a disciple of the Sky Demon Sect?

The Sky Demon Sect was an evil force.

Chu Yuqin’s Jade Fist tightened slightly, a pressure of the Emperor Realm spread from her body, and a flash of killing intent passed through her eyes: "Where is that disciple of the Sky Demon Sect?"

She could ignore the disciples of the Qionghua Holy Land and the Sky Wolf Palace, but the people of the Sky Demon Sect had to be eliminated; no matter what, Lu Chen must not be allowed to join the Sky Demon Sect.

A prodigy with a terrifying talent like Lu Chen—if he became a cultist of the Sky Demon Sect, it would be an absolute calamity for the righteous powers of Central State!

In the future, Lu Chen was very likely to break through to the Emperor Realm, and the Sky Demon Sect already had more than enough Emperor Realm experts.

Seeing Chu Yuqin trying to find out the whereabouts of the Sky Demon Sect disciple, Chu Qingli immediately guessed what Chu Yuqin intended to do, and hurriedly warned, "Honored Master, that disciple of the Sky Demon Sect is one of Lu Chen’s wives and concubines—you must not touch her."

This...

Chu Yuqin’s expression darkened.

She hadn’t expected Lu Chen to be so desperate that he would even dare to take a disciple of the Sky Demon Sect as a wife or concubine.

That was a disciple of an evil force; the people of the Sky Demon Sect are full of schemes, capable of any wickedness. Keeping such a person at his side—was he not afraid that he would suffer the consequences in the future?

No. Even if that person was one of Lu Chen’s wives and concubines, she still had to be removed.

Chu Yuqin then said, "Qing Li, tell your Master—where is that person?"

"No matter what her identity is, she must die. Even if Lu Chen tries to stop me, as his Master I will still eliminate her. We cannot allow a demon of the Sky Demon Sect to live."

Chu Qingli once more tried to dissuade her: "Honored Master, you absolutely must not. Lu Chen is someone who values affection and righteousness. If you strike at his wives and concubines, you will definitely infuriate him."

Hearing this, the killing intent in Chu Yuqin’s heart gradually dissipated.

Indeed, if that disciple of the Sky Demon Sect had already developed feelings with Lu Chen, and she suddenly killed that disciple, Lu Chen would definitely bear a grudge against her.

Even if she did manage to bring Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, there would be a rift between them. If she wanted to nurture Lu Chen’s sense of belonging toward the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, she had to handle their relationship properly.

The best approach was to make Lu Chen realize that that disciple of the Sky Demon Sect was deceiving his feelings, to let him see that the Sky Demon Sect was plotting something through him. In this way, once Lu Chen no longer harbored feelings for that female disciple of the Sky Demon Sect, she could make her move, and Lu Chen might not care.

This matter could be set aside for now.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin looked at Chu Qingli and continued asking, "Aside from these three powers, are there disciples from any other powers?"

Chu Qingli thought for a moment, then said, "There is one more power—the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin’s expression became even more solemn.

She hadn’t expected there to also be people from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

Then Chu Qingli added, "I heard that woman is the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, and she is also Lu Chen’s woman, and has even borne him a child."

Chu Yuqin interrupted to ask, "What did you say? The Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty bore a child for Lu Chen?"

Chu Yuqin hadn’t taken the people of the Sky Demon Sect seriously, but the identity of the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was not an ordinary identity. That woman had not only become Lu Chen’s wife, she had even borne him a child. That meant the Great Yan Royal Family already had a direct connection with Lu Chen.

This was troublesome. She had originally thought that taking Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land was already a certainty, only to discover that Lu Chen was even more sought-after than she had imagined, and those powers had obviously prepared long in advance.

Chu Yuqin muttered to herself, "The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty is truly willing!"

That was the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty—such a noble identity, yet she had actually joined with a Border Desolate Native, and even given birth to his child.

To be honest, at such a point she was even more inclined to believe what Lu Chen had said.

Lu Chen could lie to her alone, but he couldn’t have tricked everyone, right?

Someone with an identity as noble as the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty would certainly have life-preserving trump cards.

If she was unwilling to join with Lu Chen, then Lu Chen would have no way to use force to compel her to yield to him. Even the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was willing to bear Lu Chen’s children—this proved that the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty very likely already knew that Lu Chen’s identity was not simple. Could it be that Lu Chen really was the reincarnation of some Great Power?

It was impossible that the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty would have a child with Lu Chen merely for the sake of some Ancient Inheritance, right?

Although an Ancient Inheritance was very important, it was still not enough to make a princess of an Immortal Dynasty sacrifice so much.

As Chu Yuqin pondered inwardly, she felt that she had to keep a close watch on Lu Chen in the coming period, and must not allow him to join any other powers, especially the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

So what if Lu Chen married the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty?

The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was powerful, but their Heavenly Profound Sacred Land was not weak either.

After returning to her senses, Chu Yuqin looked at Chu Qingli and said, "Tell your Master more about the situation in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, especially about his wives and concubines."

At first, she had thought only their Heavenly Profound Sacred Land had its eyes on Lu Chen, but now it seemed that many powers were watching him. Only by knowing both oneself and the enemy could they make preparations ahead of time and prevent Lu Chen from being coaxed away by other powers.

Those powers, in order to rope Lu Chen in, would certainly have promised him many benefits.

If their Heavenly Profound Sacred Land wanted to take Lu Chen away, they would have to show greater sincerity than those powers.

The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty had even brought out someone as noble in identity as the Princess Junwan for a marriage alliance with Lu Chen.

On the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land’s side, for now there was only Chu Qingli, the Direct Disciple of an Elder Yu Changqin, who had married Lu Chen.

This level of sincerity was obviously insufficient.

Chu Qingli’s identity, when compared with that of the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, was completely insignificant.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin was clearly overthinking things, but she couldn’t really be blamed; she had no understanding of the internal situation of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

It was true that Wu Junwan was the Princess Junwan of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, but her princess identity was far from as important as Chu Yuqin imagined.

Chu Yuqin was an outsider, so she did not know these things.

The identity of an Immortal Dynasty’s princess sounded extremely exalted, but to those members of the Royal Family within the Immortal Dynasty, Wu Junwan’s identity was not worth mentioning, and she was nothing more than a tool for marriage alliances.

Otherwise, Wu Junwan would not have come to a place like the Border Wilderness to search for Ancient Inheritances in an attempt to seize control of her own fate, nor would she have submitted herself to a Border Desolate Native like Lu Chen for the sake of an Ancient Inheritance.

It was just that, in Chu Yuqin’s eyes, the nature of all this had changed. For someone with such a precious identity to be willing to marry down to Lu Chen, there had to be a greater scheme. Combined with what Lu Chen had said to her during their first meeting, she could not help suspecting that the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty had long known that Lu Chen was the reincarnation of a Great Power.
