Chapter 1265: This King Will Leave White Feather City Tonight
Upon hearing Lu Zhengze's words, Liao Xiaoshuang seemed to awaken from a dream. She hurriedly got up from the ground, and with equal urgency, said to Lu Chen, "Your majesty, White Feather City is not safe now."
Lu Chen was taken aback by the reminder from Liao Xiaoshuang.
Not safe?
Could it be that Lu Zhengze and his group have provoked someone?
However, in a place like White Feather City, close to the Chaotic Sea, surely no powerful figures would come here, right? Those in the Heavenly Immortal Realm should be enough to handle most crises.
Could there be someone in White Feather City whose power surpasses even the Heavenly Immortal?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Chen quickly followed Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang to the underground chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, where there was a formation.
As soon as they entered the formation, Lu Zhengze activated it, completely isolating the sounds inside the formation from the outside world.
Once the formation was activated, Lu Zhengze finally spoke, "Your majesty, not long ago, a white-haired woman arrived in White Feather City. That woman has at least the power of an Immortal King. She claimed to be from the Mysterious Moon Palace and said you abducted her sister years ago."
"Although she did not kill us, from her tone, it was clear she harbors resentment towards you. If she learns you've returned, she might very well attack you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.
Seriously? Have I been missing for over a billion years and yet someone comes seeking revenge?
Mysterious Moon Palace?
I've never heard of this power, only of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
If it's the Mysterious Moon Palace, then the one I abducted is Yun Qingshu.
Since when did Yun Qingshu have a sister? She never mentioned anything about it.
Unexpectedly, returning to the Tianyan Immortal Domain, I encounter such a major problem. I'm currently only a Spirit Immortal, and there's a vast gap of Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal Monarch to Immortal King.
A full six realms away, even if I burn my Divine Soul, I'm unlikely to be a match for that woman.
No, I must leave White Feather City, this place of trouble. I can't encounter an incident right after arriving here.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked at Lu Zhengze and said, "Tell me in detail the state of the Tianyan Immortal Domain these past years."
Before leaving White Feather City, Lu Chen intends to learn about the changes that have occurred throughout the Tianyan Immortal Domain compared to when he was still an Immortal King.
Lu Zhengze then said, "Yes, your majesty."
Subsequently, Lu Zhengze informed Lu Chen about the changes in powers over the billion years in Tianyan Immortal Domain, as well as some major events that have occurred recently.
After hearing about the situation in the Tianyan Immortal Domain over the years, Lu Chen frowned, realizing the situation was precisely as the System described.
Lu Chen then asked, "Haven't those Immortal Dynasties investigated why procreation has become difficult?"
Lu Zhengze replied, "All major powers have looked into this issue, but none have obtained a definite answer. At present, the solution for all the Immortal Dynasties is to let mortals reproduce, then nurture their children, providing them with more cultivation resources to help those mortals become Immortals, thereby increasing the number of Immortals in the dynasties."
At this point, Lu Zhengze sighed and continued, "Even allowing mortals to reproduce, most mortals are unable to have offspring, and many mortal cities have gradually disappeared due to population decline."
Upon hearing Lu Zhengze's words, Lu Chen thought to himself, if even mortals find it so hard to procreate, wouldn't it be difficult for me to have children?
His system is the System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings, making the difficulty of earning rewards much higher.
Oh well, take it step by step; fortunately, before leaving his wives and consorts, he helped Yun Qingshu become pregnant with a child, earning the Heavenly Rank Immortal Technique, Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture.
He previously had no Heavenly Rank Immortal Technique, yet, with his innate talents, he was able to become an Immortal King. Now he has regained all his memories from when he was an Immortal King; regaining his strength and returning to the Immortal King Realm shouldn't be overly difficult.
However, the immediate matter is to leave this place at once; if that white-haired woman finds out, he might die before becoming an Immortal King.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang, "Prepare yourselves; in a few days, we'll leave White Feather City together."
Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang are his old subordinates; since he's leaving, there's no way he could leave them here alone. They've waited here for billions of years; they must not be left waiting again.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Lu Zhengze hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your majesty, if we all leave now, it might draw that woman's attention."
"You could leave first; after finding a place to settle, send us a letter, and we'll come over then."
The white-haired woman knows they are Chen King's old subordinates. Although within common belief, Chen King and his wives and consorts have perished in the Chaotic Sea, if the white-haired woman believes Chen King is still alive, she will surely focus particularly on the whereabouts of his old subordinates.
If she sees signs of their departure, she might become suspicious. This is, of course, the worst-case scenario.
But for Lu Chen's safety, Lu Zhengze has no choice but to take precautions, even if the chances are minimal; they must consider this possibility.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "That could work; I will leave White Feather City tonight."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengze immediately took out a map from his space ring and said to Lu Chen, "Your majesty, this is the map reflecting the changes in powers over the years in Tianyan Immortal Domain."
Lu Chen took the map from Lu Zhengze, glanced at the distribution of powers on it, and ultimately decided to first head to Qingyun City, the closest city to White Feather City. He plans to elude the white-haired woman, and deal with future matters later.
Lu Chen then put away the map and said, "I'll go to Qingyun City first; you two continue to monitor the white-haired woman. Inform me immediately if she makes any moves."
Lu Zhengze said, "Yes, your majesty."
At this time, Lu Zhengze produced another space ring, "Your majesty, this contains the cultivation resources and Spirit Crystals we've accumulated over billions of years."
Seeing the space ring in Lu Zhengze's hand, Lu Chen hesitated. After all, having kept his subordinates waiting for billions of years, and now asking them for resources, he felt a bit embarrassed.
Yet, ultimately, Lu Chen took the space ring from Lu Zhengze; at present, he lacks cultivation resources, and needs to quickly return to the Immortal King Realm.
Only when he reaches the Immortal King Realm might he be able to help Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang break through and overcome their limits.
Now is not the time to be overly sentimental. After taking the space ring from Lu Zhengze, Lu Zhengze deactivated the formation.
Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang then escorted Lu Chen to the Training Ground within the City Lord's Mansion. Lu Chen said, "Alright, this is it; I'll contact you immediately upon reaching Qingyun City."
He was about to leave when suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended.
