Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Perhaps the person spreading this message was not intending to convey information to him but to other forces, yet the intelligence was likely true.

If there really was a weapon capable of killing Celestials, then they must be more cautious on their southern journey.

At that moment, Lu Chen said, "Find a way to figure out what that weapon is and how to guard against it."

Liang Zong replied, "Yes, Prince."

Then Liang Zong continued, "Prince, there is another piece of intelligence."

Lu Chen asked, "What intelligence?"

Usually, important intelligence is documented in written reports. Any intelligence without a written report isn't generally considered significant.

As such, Lu Chen was merely asking casually, not taking Liang Zong's words to heart. At that moment, Liang Zong answered, "The Taiyin Divine Sect slaughtered an entire city in the south to use for a blood sacrifice."

Lu Chen's expression instantly turned grim.

Although he knew the Taiyin Divine Sect was a Demon Sect, he had not anticipated that they would be so heartlessly vile as to commit a massacre.

Liang Zong then said, "The Taiyin Divine Sect has become increasingly active in the southern region. Several Seigniors there have been wiped out by the Zhao King, and now that Zhao King is marching his army northward, the south is left defenseless with little military presence, allowing the Taiyin Divine Sect the opportunity to create chaos."

After a short silence, Lu Chen asked, "Where is the Crown Princess Consort now?"

Lu Chen needed to ascertain if this was the work of the enchantress Xue Linglong. Even though Xue Linglong was already his woman, he could not tolerate her committing atrocities like massacring cities for blood sacrifices in his heart.

Liang Zong responded, "Since leaving the North Country, she has been staying in Anping City."

Hearing this, Lu Chen let out a slight sigh of relief. As long as it was unrelated to Xue Linglong, that was fine.

Nevertheless, that enchantress really had great patience, he thought. She had been gone for months, and she still hadn't returned.

He had originally thought Xue Linglong would return within two months at most.

It seemed he had somewhat underestimated her.

No wonder she was able to become the Saintess of the Taiyin Divine Sect.

At this point, Liang Zong tentatively asked, "Prince, do we need to bring the Crown Princess Consort back?"

Lu Chen replied indifferently, "No need, she knows how to return on her own."

Even though Xue Linglong had run off for several months, Lu Chen still firmly believed she would return on her own one day.

Lu Chen then inquired, "Is there anything else?"

Bowing with his hands folded in front of him, Liang Zong said, "That's all."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, that will be all for today."

Subsequently, Liang Zong announced, "This subordinate takes his leave!"

After Liang Zong's departure, Lu Chen did not immediately leave his study. He sat down at the desk, reopening the intelligence report Liang Zong had brought, and read it over several times.

He pondered if there really was a weapon in the Imperial Palace capable of killing Celestials, how he should respond. He certainly couldn't let Xuanyuan Chaoge face certain death.

He had to think of a way to steal or destroy the weapon.

But such a weapon would undoubtedly be heavily guarded and not so easily stolen.

Having no solution, he stood up and headed towards the Yunrong Courtyard.

As soon as Lu Chen entered Yunrong Courtyard, Yun Xianxian sensed his presence. Over the past few months, her relationship with Lu Chen had become relatively smoother.

Yun Xianxian rarely carried an aloof attitude in front of Lu Chen anymore, especially since she suspected that Lu Chen, like her, came from the High-ranking Cultivation World.

Moreover, Yun Xianxian had imparted several Cultivation Techniques to Lu Chen. Although he didn't frequent battlefields much, these techniques were very effective for self-defense.

Sensing Lu Chen's arrival at Yunrong Courtyard, Yun Xianxian wondered if she had not sought dual cultivation with Lu Chen for quite a while and whether she should ask Chen Wanrong to lend Lu Chen to her again today.

Whenever Lu Chen came to Yunrong Courtyard, it was inevitably to seek pleasure with either Chen Wanrong or Lin Wanyun.

Over the past few months, Yun Xianxian had borrowed Lu Chen from Chen Wanrong many times to practice the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill. Although she still hadn't touched Lu Chen's body, her attitude towards their practice sessions had improved compared to before, and she never again made Lu Chen stand as she had the first time.

Now when she and Lu Chen practiced the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill, it involved Lu Chen moving around while sitting, and then the two of them facing each other, which gave the appearance of a very serious cultivation session.

Just as Yun Xianxian was preparing to go to Chen Wanrong's room to borrow someone, she suddenly discovered that Lu Chen was not heading towards Chen Wanrong's room; instead, he was walking directly towards her own room.

Yun Xianxian was startled for a moment.

She couldn't help but wonder if her disciple was intending to commit the heinous act of betraying his master and ancestors.

While Yun Xianxian was lost in thought, a knock on the door sounded.

"Master, your disciple has urgent matters to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xianxian thought for a moment, then waved her hand and opened the door.

"Come in!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Lu Chen then entered the bedroom.

Upon entering the room, a fragrant scent filled Lu Chen's nostrils, instantly sweeping away his fatigue and making him restless.

At this moment, Yun Xianxian was dressed in a white gauzy garment, cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by an aura of divinity, cool and pure, like a fairy who had descended to mortal realms.

Upon seeing Lu Chen come in and stare intently at her body, Yun Xianxian snorted lightly, "You rascal, how much longer do you intend to gaze upon your master's body?"

Lu Chen came back to his senses and smiled, "Master is indeed a fairy, becoming younger and more beautiful as time goes by."

Yun Xianxian asked, "Did you come today just to tell your master this?"

Lu Chen replied, "Of course not."

"I've just received some intelligence that someone in the Capital City is spreading a rumor that there is a Divine Weapon in the Imperial Palace capable of killing a Celestial."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xianxian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the cold aura around her intensified, forming a layer of frost on the bed.

Lu Chen continued, "Your disciple doesn't know whether this news is true or false, after all, I am not a Celestial and do not know if there is indeed a weapon in this world that can kill a Celestial."

"So your disciple wishes to ask you, Master, does this world allow for the existence of weapons that can kill Celestials?"

Yun Xianxian replied, "Your master happens to have such a weapon."

Upon hearing Yun Xianxian's response, Lu Chen was startled and immediately thought of what Chu Xiong had once told him.

His mother had once carried a Divine Artifact out of the Mysterious Moon Palace, and at that time the Chu Family had also wanted to keep that Divine Artifact.

It seemed that what Yun Xianxian was referring to was indeed the Divine Artifact his mother had taken from the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Yun Xianxian continued, "No wonder those two traitors ran off to collude with the Sum Emperor, they must be thinking that with the Emperor's weapon, they could kill me."

Upon hearing Yun Xianxian's words, Lu Chen felt as if he had stumbled upon some crucial intelligence.

At that moment, Yun Xianxian said, "While it's true that this world possesses weapons that can kill a Celestial, the conditions for using such weapons are certainly very strict, and they cannot be used whenever one wishes."

"Take the weapon your master has, for instance, using it once might consume half of the Spiritual Power in your master's body."

Lu Chen was taken aback, such a great consumption?

Lu Chen immediately thought about the case of the missing Martial Artists in Great Sum over the past year and said, "Throughout this year, many Martial Artists of the fifth rank and above have gone missing in Great Sum. Their disappearance is related to my father, perhaps they were providing energy for that weapon."

Hearing this, Yun Xianxian spoke doubtfully, "Providing energy?"

Lu Chen explained, "It means creating the conditions needed for using that weapon."

Yun Xianxian said, "That is indeed possible."

At this point, Yun Xianxian fell into deep thought.

Lu Chen asked, "Master, how well has your strength been restored now?"

Yun Xianxian answered, "It has basically recovered to the level of a Celestial."
