Chapter 1801 Chapter 1491: We Are Discussing the Founding of the Immortal Dynasty
The emissary from the Thunder Serpent Sect had just visited the Mysterious Moon Palace, and the Mysterious Moon Palace immediately issued an Immortal Order prohibiting further external expansion.
This indicates that the Thunder Serpent Sect's visit to the Mysterious Moon Palace was likely about this matter.
If it was indeed about this, it proves that the Mysterious Moon Palace's subordinate forces have been expanding too aggressively, invading the territory of the Thunder Serpent Sect, prompting the Thunder Serpent Sect to send an emissary to the Mysterious Moon Palace, which, in order to avoid conflict with the Thunder Serpent Sect, issued such an Immortal Order to prevent conflict between its subordinate forces and the Thunder Serpent Sect.
Since the Mysterious Moon Palace issued this Immortal Order for the Thunder Serpent Sect, it shows that the Mysterious Moon Palace actually has some apprehension about the Thunder Serpent Sect; otherwise, they wouldn't care about the Thunder Serpent Sect at all.
However, speaking of it, while the Mysterious Moon Palace is cautious of the Thunder Serpent Sect, the Thunder Serpent Sect is equally wary of the Mysterious Moon Palace, for the Mysterious Moon Palace, after all, has two Immortal Kings, while the Thunder Serpent Sect has only one.
Moreover, the Mysterious Moon Palace has come on strong, having subdued various major forces around it in such a short time, presenting enormous pressure on the Thunder Serpent Sect now.
If the Thunder Serpent Sect had another Immortal King, they would be qualified to contend against the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Thinking of this, the Quicksand Immortal Monarch immediately said to the Elder of the Quicksand Sect, "Elder Zeyang, go to the Thunder Serpent Sect and ask if they're interested in having an additional Immortal King-level Elder." Upon hearing this, the Elders in the hall were stunned. What did their Hall Master mean?
An Immortal King-level Elder?
How could the Thunder Serpent Sect have an extra Immortal King-level Elder? The Quicksand Immortal Monarch continued, "I'm just one step away from breaking through to become an Immortal King. With the Thunder Serpent Sect's help, becoming an Immortal King would be just a matter of time."
Upon hearing this, the Elders immediately realized that their Sect Master intended to betray the Mysterious Moon Palace and join the Thunder Serpent Sect.
However...
Would the Thunder Serpent Sect really help their Sect Master become an Immortal King?
After all, an Immortal King isn't an Immortal Monarch. If the Thunder Serpent Sect gains another Immortal King, it wouldn't be only the Thunder Serpent Immortal King calling the shots.
Would the Thunder Serpent Immortal King be willing to easily let go of his power?
At this time, the Elder Zeyang Immortal Monarch of the Thunder Serpent Sect said, "Sect Master, will the Thunder Serpent Immortal King trust us?"
The Quicksand Immortal Monarch continued, "I believe the Thunder Serpent Sect will agree."
The Thunder Serpent Sect originally intended to establish an Immortal Sect, but then the Mysterious Moon Palace, a force that seemed to have appeared from nowhere, occupied the airspace the Thunder Serpent Sect intended to use for their Immortal Sect, which alone would make the Thunder Serpent Immortal King very resentful of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
The most crucial point is that the Mysterious Moon Palace has two Immortal Kings, making them more powerful than the Thunder Serpent Sect. Although the two forces are quite far apart, in the Barbaric region, places with Immortal Aura are limited. If the Mysterious Moon Palace continues to expand, they're bound to attack the Thunder Serpent Sect eventually.
The current Thunder Serpent Sect is under immense pressure. If they could have one more Immortal King, it would not only make establishing their Immortal Sect easier but also relieve a lot of pressure when facing the Mysterious Moon Palace.
The Thunder Serpent Immortal Monarch continued, "That will be all for today." Upon hearing the Thunder Serpent Immortal Monarch's words, the Elders left the hall one by one. At this time, the Thunder Serpent Immortal Monarch said to the Zeyang Immortal Monarch, "Zeyang, stay behind."
The Zeyang Immortal Monarch immediately stopped, and after the other Elders left, the Thunder Serpent Immortal Monarch gave some instructions to the Zeyang Immortal Monarch, who then immediately set off for the Thunder Serpent Sect.
Meanwhile, below the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Bihai Immortal City.
This new Bihai Immortal City bears the same name as the former Bihai Immortal City in the Southern Domain, mainly because most of the Immortals who built this city were from the old Bihai Immortal City. After they followed the Mysterious Moon Palace to the Barbaric region, they missed the old Bihai Immortal City greatly, so they named this new Immortal City Bihai Immortal City.
However, the current Bihai Immortal City is not truly under the control of the Mysterious Moon Palace, as most of the city's managers are Lu Chen's people. Today, Bihai Immortal City is more like Lu Chen's private city.
Lu Chen held off the three Immortal Kings from the Blood Eagle Hall alone and later unleashed a heaven-defying formation that transported the entire Mysterious Moon Palace to the Barbaric region. Although he is only an Elder now, in the eyes of many in the Mysterious Moon Palace, his status is practically like that of a Third Hall Master.
This support from many people in the Mysterious Moon Palace allowed Lu Chen to slowly form a faction with him at the forefront, aided further by some maneuvers of the Ling Yin Immortal King, leading many of the outer hall Elders to prefer listening to Lu Chen.
Another even more important reason is that Lu Chen is the only male Elder in the Inner Hall, and when those male outer hall Elders were selected to join the Mysterious Moon Palace, they were inspected by Lu Chen. Although it seemed like just an inspection, for those people, it was Lu Chen who helped them join the Mysterious Moon Palace.
If Lu Chen had fabricated a reason back then to say they betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace, they wouldn't have been able to join. For them, this was a favor owed to Lu Chen.
Furthermore, as the only male Elder in the Inner Hall, if other male Elders aspire to be Inner Hall Elders, with Lu Chen's tactic of identifying traitors, there will ultimately need to be his approval.
Lu Zhengze and his old subordinates seized this opportunity to turn the new Bihai Immortal City into Lu Chen's personal Immortal City and even built a City Lord's Mansion resembling an Imperial Palace in Bihai Immortal City.
This is also why Yun Yudie warned Lu Chen, as she had noticed all the small maneuvers of Lu Zhengze and his group. But considering Lu Chen's contributions, Yun Yudie initially didn't intervene.
However, as Lu Zhengze's influence grew, Yun Yudie became slightly uneasy, because the Ling Yin Immortal King of the Mysterious Moon Palace was already on Lu Chen's side. If Lu Chen continued to garner more support, the Mysterious Moon Palace might soon change its name to the "Lu" Palace. At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion of Bihai Immortal City, Lu Zhengze
was discussing with others in the Meeting Hall about establishing an Immortal
Dynasty.
The warning Yun Yudie gave to Lu Chen was something that had happened over
a decade ago, and after she warned Lu Chen, he and Yun Yudie clashed for over ten years. During this time, Lu Chen paid no attention to the activities of Lu Zhengze and his group, allowing the power of Lu Chen's faction to further expand over those ten years.
At that moment, there were even several outer hall Elders from the Mysterious
Moon Palace in the Meeting Hall. To these outer hall Elders, Lu Zhengze and his group were boldly discussing the establishment of an Immortal Dynasty openly, and the Hall Master had not intervened, which implied that the Hall Master didn't care, giving them boldness to join in.
Just when suddenly a figure appeared in the hall, upon seeing the newcomer was Lu Chen, everyone hurriedly paid their respects.
"Greetings, Great King!"
"Greetings, Young Master!"
"Greetings, Elder Chen!"
Different people in the hall addressed Lu Chen differently. Lu Chen nodded
slightly, then looked at Lu Zhengze and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Zhengze immediately answered, "Great King, we are discussing the establishment of an Immortal Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt somewhat speechless, as his subordinates were
more anxious than he was, but he wasn't surprised.
After all, he had been an Emperor for many years and knew that once he
became the Immortal Emperor, all his subordinates would benefit, the greatest benefit being the Qi Fortune of the Immortal Dynasty.
The closer one is to the Immortal Emperor, the denser the Qi Fortune one would receive, which is extremely beneficial to them.
