Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Just as Lu Chen was about to enter the inner palace, a quasi-emperor guard suddenly blocked his way.

"Your Highness, this is a forbidden area of ​​the inner palace. No one is allowed to enter without His Majesty's order!"

This……

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then prepared to make a move. However, to avoid alerting the enemy, he refrained from acting and instead said seriously, "Didn't you see that the enemy has already stormed the palace?"

"If an enemy were to enter the palace and kill all of my father's women, who would take responsibility if he blamed me?"

At this point, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something and continued, "I've heard that my father, the Emperor, has been particularly fond of the Empress lately. The remnants of the Bai Cang Dynasty attacked the palace, clearly targeting the Empress. If anything happens to her, even ten of your clans wouldn't be enough to wipe out!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the quasi-emperor's guard broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly realized that what Lu Chen said made a lot of sense.

Apart from the Empress, the Divine Moon Dynasty didn't have any important figures. If the remnants of the White Cang Dynasty were attacking the palace at this time, it could only be because they were targeting the Empress.

Furthermore, there are rumors that Emperor Shenwu dotes on Empress Shenwu, and even entrusted the entire Shenyue Dynasty to her management during his seclusion. This alone is enough to show Emperor Shenwu's love and trust for Empress Shenwu.

If Empress Shenwu were killed by the remnants of the Bai Cang Dynasty, Emperor Shenwu would surely be furious, and all the guards watching over the harem would be doomed.

Thinking of this, the quasi-emperor guard quickly stepped aside to let Lu Chen pass.

Lu Chen did not immediately enter the inner palace, but instead asked, "Where is the Empress? Take me there quickly!"

The emperor's guard quickly said, "Your Highness, please follow me!"

Led by the quasi-emperor's guards, Lu Chen quickly arrived at the palace where Chu Yunzhi was imprisoned.

Seeing the spirit-suppressing array outside the palace, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. The array didn't seem easy to break, and if he tried to break it now, it would definitely attract the attention of the palace guards.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen said to the guards, "There's something wrong with this spirit-suppressing array. I'm afraid something has happened to the Empress."

Upon hearing this, the guards' expressions changed drastically. They had been guarding the inner palace and hadn't gone anywhere. How could there be a problem with the spirit-suppressing array?

The quasi-emperor's guard who had just left said, "Your Highness, you can't be mistaken, can you?"

Lu Chen didn't say anything. He walked to the edge of the Spirit-Suppressing Array and pretended to inspect it. After a while, Lu Chen said again, "There is indeed a problem."

"If you don't believe me, open it and see if the Empress is still inside. I suspect she left long ago."

At this point, Lu Chen made a gesture as if he was about to leave. Seeing Lu Chen's back, the guards present looked at each other.

At this moment, a guard cautiously asked, "Is what Your Highness said true?"

"But we didn't go anywhere, so how could this spirit-suppressing array malfunction?"

At this moment, a quasi-emperor guard said, "If we join forces to open the spirit-suppressing array, we'll know what's inside."

"If the Empress is still inside, she will be able to escape when the enemy attacks later."

"Vice Commander Wang is right. Putting aside whether the Empress is still inside or not, if she is, and this spirit-sealing array remains in place, what will we do if the enemy attacks and we can't protect her?"

Without hesitation, the palace guards immediately went to the spirit-suppressing array and joined forces to break it.

Although the Spirit-Suppressing Array was personally set up by the Divine Martial Emperor, it is easy to break from the outside. As long as you find the various positions of the array, you can break it.

Lu Chen hadn't expected the Spirit-Suppressing Array to be broken so easily. He sensed that the array's power was extremely strong and thought it would be very difficult to break.

The moment the spirit-suppressing array was broken, before the palace guards could react, Lu Chen transformed into a streak of light and entered the palace.

When Lu Chen entered the palace, he saw a woman with an exceptionally beautiful appearance and an air of elegance and nobility sitting on a soft couch with a swaying expression.

The woman wore a white robe that clung tightly to her full figure, giving her a mature and alluring charm.

The woman's heart trembled when she saw Lu Chen; she couldn't believe it was all real.

"Lu...Lu Chen..."

"It really is you..."

Chu Yunzhi wept with joy. She had never imagined that her original body would one day be able to see Lu Chen with her own eyes.

Sensing the increasingly intense battle outside, Lu Chen knew this was not the time for reminiscing. He leaped out and went straight to the soft couch, picking Chu Yunzhi up in a princess carry.

Chu Yunzhi was stunned for a moment and didn't react. The next moment, Lu Chen used the teleportation technique to return to his residence.

He had set up a Saint-level teleportation array in a secret room of his mansion a few days ago, just for today.

As Lu Chen was leaving, he didn't forget to send a telepathic message to the Thunder Emperor: "I'm leaving, Thunder Emperor. Take care of yourself. If you have nowhere to go, you can come and seek refuge with me."

The Thunder Emperor, who was fighting against the remnants of the White Cang Dynasty, was stunned when he heard Lu Chen's words.

What does Your Highness mean by this?

go?

Where to go?

Isn't he about to become the crown prince? Where is he running off to at this time?

He doesn't want the position of crown prince anymore?

Before Emperor Thunder could react, a near-emperor guard rushed to him in a panic, "General, something terrible has happened! His Highness the Ninth Prince has taken the Empress away!"

Upon hearing the guard's words, the Thunder Emperor felt his mind go blank.

He finally understood why Lu Chen had told him to take care of himself.

So it turns out that Lu Chen ran back not for the position of Crown Prince, but simply to abduct Empress Shenwu.

The Thunder Emperor had heard about the past between Empress Shenwu and Lu Chen, after all, he was an emperor from Lu Chen's faction.

However, he always thought that Lu Chen wasn't very interested in women, so even if the Divine Martial Emperor forcibly married the Divine Martial Empress, Lu Chen shouldn't care too much.

However, the first thing Lu Chen did upon returning was to try and recruit people...

The Thunder Emperor was somewhat helpless.

He brought Lu Chen back himself, but Lu Chen has now eloped with Empress Shenwu, and Emperor Shenwu will definitely cause him trouble.

but……

Even so, he could not betray the Divine Martial Emperor. He knew what kind of person the Divine Martial Emperor was, and if he betrayed him, he would not have a good end.

The Thunder Emperor then said, "Immediately send people to find the Ninth Prince and the Empress, and bring them back at all costs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Thunder Emperor turned his gaze back to the remnants of the White Cang Dynasty, and he realized that something was wrong.

The cultivation methods used by these three emperors were completely different from those used by the royal family of the Bai Cang Dynasty, and they did not seem to be remnants of the Bai Cang Dynasty at all.

The Thunder Emperor charged at one of the Great Emperors again, unleashing a bolt of lightning, and then demanded, "You are not from the White Cang Dynasty. Which faction do you come from?"

"Dare to attack the Divine Moon Imperial Palace? Have you thought about the consequences?!"
