More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Chenlan's words, the immortals in the hall fell silent.

If Lu Chen framed Immortal Venerable Tianfeng and sowed discord, then surely Immortal Venerable Chenlan wouldn't have joined forces with Lu Chen to frame Immortal Venerable Tianfeng?

There was no conflict between Immortal Venerable Chenlan and Immortal Venerable Tianfeng.

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Chenlan's words, Immortal Venerable Tianfeng was furious. Good heavens, he didn't even bother to defend himself and directly framed him, huh?

Although it was indeed him who did it, he didn't believe that Immortal Venerable Chenlan saw him go to Lu Chen's residence. He directly used spatial teleportation to Lu Chen's courtyard. At that time, Immortal Venerable Chenlan was still in Chenlan Palace. How could he have seen it?
This is blatant lying.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng had already realized what was going on. It was clear that Immortal Venerable Taihua and the others knew that if they revealed that Immortal Venerable Chenlan had attacked Lu Chen, it would be difficult to find the culprit and they would not be able to confirm that it was him. If they suspected him, they would not be able to convince the public.

They might as well just say he did it, since he's the prime suspect, after all, he went to see Immortal Venerable Chenlan and even instigated him to betray Tianhua Palace.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng hurriedly said, "Elder Chenlan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What evidence do you have to prove that I went to Lu Chen's residence?"

"I can also say that I personally saw you go to Lu Chen's residence. How can you prove your innocence?"

Immortal Venerable Chenlan calmly said, "But what Lu Chen saw was you, not the real me."

Celestial Venerable Tianfeng said, "How laughable! Is there anyone among you who doesn't know the art of disguise?"

"What if someone disguised themselves as the real person and framed me?"

Lu Chen said, "I forgot to tell you, I am skilled in a kind of immortal technique for recognizing people. No matter how someone disguises themselves, I can see their true identity."

"If you don't believe me, all of you here can try it."

Upon hearing this, a Celestial Venerable immediately stepped forward and said, "In that case, let's test Fellow Daoist Lu's ability to recognize people. Let's leave the main hall first and return later. If Fellow Daoist Lu can recognize who we are, we will believe what Fellow Daoist Lu said."

At this moment, the immortals present still had some support for Immortal Venerable Tianfeng, because they could not be sure whether Lu Chen had framed them. Moreover, they were worried that if someone were to impersonate them and attack Lu Chen, they would suffer the same fate as Immortal Venerable Tianfeng.

Soon, all the immortals except for Tianfeng Immortal Venerable, Chenlan Immortal Venerable, and Taihua Immortal Venerable left the main hall. In just a short while, they returned to the main hall, but their appearances had all changed to that of another immortal venerable.

The Immortal Venerable's disguise technique was extremely skillful. Even without the Transformation Mirror on the Heavenly Wind Immortal Venerable's body, their appearances were almost identical to those of the people they were disguising.

Even when their presence is concealed, it is still somewhat difficult to distinguish who is who.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. If it were immortals, they could tell who was who at a glance.

At this moment, a Celestial Venerable said, "Alright, we've all disguised ourselves now. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu can tell who's who?"

Without saying a word, Lu Chen pointed to a Celestial Venerable on the right and said, "You are Celestial Venerable Qingming."

Seeing that Lu Chen recognized him instantly, Qingming Immortal Venerable said awkwardly, "Is my disguise skill really that bad?"

Lu Chen didn't waste words with Qingming Immortal Venerable. He pointed to the other Immortal Venerables, "Juechen Immortal Venerable, Yunsheng Immortal Venerable, Xuanyuan Immortal Venerable..."

Seeing that Lu Chen could instantly identify everyone's identities, the Immortal Venerables stopped disguising themselves and immediately reverted to their original forms. Then, everyone's gaze turned to Immortal Venerable Tianfeng. Lu Chen had already demonstrated his ability to recognize people, so there was essentially no need for further explanation.

Immortal Venerable Chenlan looked at Immortal Venerable Tianfeng and said, "Elder Tianfeng, is there anything else you want to say?"

Celestial Venerable Tianfeng clenched his fist, and his aura suddenly burst forth. They had already gone this far, so there was no need to continue pretending.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng then said, "Elder Chenlan, do you think that by doing this you can please Lu Chen and Immortal Emperor Xiyue?"

Seeing that Celestial Venerable Tianfeng was no longer making excuses, the other Celestial Venerables present instantly became alert.

"Back then, in order to eliminate Lu Chen, Tianhua Palace joined forces with major forces in the Southern Region to besiege Lu Chen and drove him to the Chaos Sea. Although I don't know what he went through in the Chaos Sea, his days there must have been difficult, and he was the only one who returned to the Tianyan Immortal Domain."

"You've probably heard that he's a man who cares deeply about his women, and that all his women died in the Chaos Sea. Do you really think he harbors no resentment towards the Tianhua Palace?"

"How ridiculous! They are all immortals who have lived for countless years, yet they are still so naive."

"Once the Tianhua Palace truly goes to the Eastern Region, it will cease to exist, and none of you present here will escape!"

After hearing what Celestial Venerable Tianfeng said, all the Celestial Venerables present fell silent, and their hearts began to waver.

Indeed, although Lu Chen has returned, all his women have died in the Chaos Sea, and the cause of all this is Tianhua Palace. To say that Lu Chen has no resentment towards Tianhua Palace would be unrealistic.

Therefore, Lu Chen might indeed retaliate against Tianhua Palace.

Just then, Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Immortal Venerable Tianfeng, you're quite good at stirring people's hearts. You're right, I do indeed resent Tianhua Palace."

"However, for me, Tianhua Palace joining the Eastern Region is the only way to maximize my interests, and besides, my wives and concubines are not dead."

"Furthermore, I told Immortal Venerable Taihua long ago that even if I were to seek revenge, I would only target the few people who advocated attacking me back then."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Qingming immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, is this true?"

Back then, many Immortal Venerables actually wanted to win over Lu Chen, after all, Lu Chen was the most talented genius in the history of this era, and also the most likely to become an Immortal Emperor.

However, the final decision was made by Immortal Venerable Xinghe. Encouraged by Immortal Venerable Tianfeng and Immortal Venerable Wuya, Immortal Venerable Xinghe worried that if someone became an emperor, the fortune of the Tianyan Immortal Domain would not be enough to give birth to the next Immortal Emperor, thus cutting off his path. In the end, he chose to take action against Lu Chen, wanting to nip this prodigy in the bud.

However, no one expected that Lu Chen would actually enter the Chaos Sea with his wives and concubines, and what surprised people even more was that Lu Chen actually came out alive.

Lu Chen said, "It is true, of course. Xi Yue Immortal Emperor is my Daoist partner. Your addition will greatly increase the fortune of the Eastern Region, and Xi Yue Immortal Emperor's strength will also be improved."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, the immortals breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, Lu Chen's Daoist partner was Xi Yue Immortal Emperor. If Lu Chen really asked Xi Yue Immortal Emperor to avenge him, none of them would be able to escape.

However, Lu Chen's words also made a lot of sense. Their joining the Eastern Region could improve the region's fortune, and besides, they weren't the ones who advocated eliminating Lu Chen back then, so Lu Chen really had no reason to go so far as to exterminate them. (End of this chapter)
