After reviewing the profiles of the two people, Lu Chen came back to his senses and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Then Lu Chen looked at Wang Yu and said, "City Lord Wang, the City Lord’s Mansion is so lively today. Is there any happy occasion?"

Wang Yu replied, "Regent King, I am entertaining noble guests from Central State."

Lu Chen expressed his surprise, then looked at Liu Qingyun: "Noble guests from Central State?"

Wang Yu immediately introduced, "Regent King, this is the Family Head of the Liu Family from Central State."

Liu Qingyun also came back to her senses at this moment and took the initiative to say, "I’ve met the Regent King, I am Liu Qingyun, the Family Head of the Liu Family."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "So it’s the Family Head of the Liu Family, a pleasure to meet you."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s remark, Liu Qingyun felt speechless, she doubted Lu Chen, a Border Desolate Native, had ever heard of the Liu Family.

Although the Liu Family had King Realm experts, in Central State, King Realm is not impressive at all; their Liu Family is merely a small family, and they resided in a Mortal City.

Perhaps the Liu Family was somewhat famous in their city, but outside their city, outside Central State, it was almost impossible for anyone to know them.

Lu Chen said he’d long admired them, admired what?

Of course, it was all just pleasantries, Liu Qingyun didn’t take it seriously.

Lu Chen continued, "It’s too dark outside, shall we go inside to discuss our matters?"

Wang Yu regained his senses and quickly said, "Please come in, Regent King."

Then Lu Chen entered the great hall and directly took the main seat.

The members of the Liu Family all stood in the great hall, waiting for Lu Chen to speak.

After scanning the crowd, Lu Chen spoke, "You may all be seated."

The crowd replied in unison, "Thank you, Regent King."

Immediately, they returned to their respective seats and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Lu Chen continued, "Family Head Liu, I wonder what your plans are moving forward?"

Liu Qingyun responded, "We plan to settle in Dazhou and not return to Central State."

Lu Chen said, "The Border Wilderness is not safe, not as many experts as in Central State, not even one Emperor Realm."

"If you encounter a larger Deceit Tide, I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand it, why don’t you choose those powerful Holy Lands or the cities protected by the Immortal Dynasty?"

Liu Qingyun frankly said, "To be honest, Regent King, we initially intended to join a Holy Land in Central State, but those Immortal Cities were unwilling to let us in."

"Food is limited in Central State, and once the Great Array is activated, it won’t be easily shut down."

"Although there are no Emperor Realm Spirit Martial Artists in the Border Wilderness, because experts are scarce here, there’s nothing for the mysterious entities to profit from, so they don’t venture to the Border Wilderness."

"Moreover, I’ve heard there’s a Deceit Saint stationed in the Border Wilderness, the weaker mysterious entities don’t dare come, in my view, the Border Wilderness might actually be safer than Central State."

Lu Chen glanced at the people in the great hall and then asked, "What is the strength of the strongest member of your Liu Family?"

Liu Qingyun replied, "Heavenly Realm."

This time, Liu Qingyun dared not claim it was Profound Realm.

If she continued to say it was Profound Realm, it would be treating people as fools.

Even Wang Yu knew that a leader in the Profound Realm couldn’t safely reach the Border Wilderness, how could Lu Chen, the Regent King, not know?

Upon hearing Liu Qingyun’s answer, Lu Chen looked into Liu Qingyun’s eyes, with a faint smile on his face.

For some reason, seeing Lu Chen with the corner of his mouth slightly raised watching her, Liu Qingyun felt a sense of being seen through.

After a moment, Lu Chen spoke, "Heavenly Realm? But why do I sense the aura of a King Realm in you?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Liu Qingyun’s heart skipped a beat; she was indeed seen through.

Lu Chen continued, "Your Liu Family should be considered a large family in Central State, right? At least it counts as a large family in a Mortal City."

Liu Qingyun was about to deny it when Lu Chen added, "With six King Realm, it’s no wonder you managed to safely reach the Border Wilderness, if it were ordinary people, they would have died in the Eternal Night long ago."

"It seems other people coming from Central State to the Border Wilderness aren’t too weak either."

Originally, Lu Chen really thought those coming to the Border Wilderness were ordinary people, but now upon reflection, if they were truly ordinary people, how did they not die in the Eternal Night?

Now, everywhere is full of mysterious entities, from the Border Wilderness to Central State, there are countless Deceit Tides.

If they were truly ordinary people, they couldn’t possibly have survived to reach the Border Wilderness.

Yet in the intelligence that Ji Yunmeng received, it’s said the people coming were ordinary, but now it seems those so-called ordinary people merely concealed their aura.

It’s estimated that there are already quite a few Spirit Martial Artists above King Realm at the border now, and it’s uncertain whether there are Emperor Realm or even higher realm existences.

This trip was indeed not in vain, if he hadn’t come to investigate, sooner or later these people would start fighting over territory.

Seeing Lu Chen discern their background at a glance, Liu Qingyun stopped hiding.

She proactively said, "Regent King, please forgive us, it’s wrong for us to conceal our realm, we were only worried that revealing our realm would make the Great Zhou Royal Family wary, hoping for your understanding."

Lu Chen replied indifferently, "I can understand, but there’s no need to hide your realm, not to mention King Realm, even if a Saint Realm comes to Dazhou, we wouldn’t mind."

Seeing Lu Chen spoke so lightly about everything, Liu Qingyun thought, it seems the rumors are true, Lu Chen indeed possesses the power or means to instantly kill a Saint Realm, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so unafraid of other Saint Realm experts entering Dazhou.

At this moment, Liu Qingyun tentatively asked, "I have a question I’d like to ask the Regent King, would that be alright?"

Lu Chen said, "Feel free to ask anything, I won’t hold back."

Liu Qingyun then asked, "How did the Regent King persuade those mysterious entities not to attack humans? Especially that Deceit Saint, theoretically, humans are just prey in the eyes of mysterious entities."

Lu Chen answered, "That Deceit Saint is somewhat special, she’s not a pure mysterious entity."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s answer, everyone present was stunned; not a pure mysterious entity?

Is there such a thing?

Lu Chen continued, "No wonder you all hide your realm, it seems you’re worried that Deceit Saint is targeting you."

"But you don’t need to worry about that; she’s not interested in you.

"You don’t have much understanding of mysterious entities, mysterious entities are divided into factions, some propose killing all humans and completely devouring them to enhance their power."

"Some advocate for raising humans, turning the entire world into a pasture."

"And some mysterious entities wish to coexist peacefully with humans, creating a world where humans and mysterious entities live in harmony."

"That Deceit Saint belongs to the third kind."

At this point, Liu Qingqiu couldn’t help but ask, "Is there truly such a mysterious entity?"

They have encountered countless mysterious entities in Central State but have never heard of any wanting to peacefully coexist with humans.

Humans couldn’t peacefully coexist with pigs and cows, right? The so-called peaceful coexistence is probably just to deceive humans.

Lu Chen said, "The world is vast and full of wonders, you haven’t heard about it and that’s normal, it’s indeed a special case amongst mysterious entities."

At this time, Liu Qingyun said, "Even if that Deceit Saint wishes to coexist peacefully with humans, the mysterious entities throughout Dazhou couldn’t completely obey her, right?"

"Isn’t there any mysterious entity secretly devouring humans?"

Lu Chen said, "That Deceit Saint has enough deterrent power, generally, no mysterious entity dares defy her orders."

"Of course, there are some mysterious entities that can’t control their instincts and secretly attack humans, but Dazhou has a dedicated institution to deal with those entities."
