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

Lu Chen had no intention of intervening in the attack of Emperor Yanyue. With the Immortal Spirit Umbrella, an attack from an emperor would have no effect on the Great Xia Dynasty at present.

Just as Emperor Yanyue's palm strike was about to crash into the entire Fengyang Starfield, suddenly, a barrier emitting a pale blue light appeared in the void.

The Emperor of the Hidden Moon's palm strike landed on the pale blue barrier without causing a ripple.

Emperor Yanyue stared at this scene in disbelief.

What the hell is this thing?

How could he so easily block her attack from a fifth-level Emperor?

Emperor Yanyue was unwilling to give up, so he made another move.

The Hundred Spirits Seal!!!

Countless Dao patterns appeared around the Emperor's Dharma Image, and the next moment, all of these Dao patterns crashed into the light blue barrier.

However, the pale blue barrier remained completely still.

The Moon-Covering Emperor panicked. As Lie Hongyun's protector, if anything happened to Lie Hongyun, the Life-Saving Empress would surely punish her.

This time is different from the Lu Chen incident. After all, Lu Chen only took away the former Holy Maiden, who had already been deposed, while Lie Hongyun is the current Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden on whom Empress Dusheng places high hopes.

If anything were to happen to the current Holy Maiden under her protection, Empress Dusheng would surely be furious.

Emperor Yanyue then continued to attack the protective barrier of the Immortal Umbrella, but it still had no effect.

After Lie Hongyun discovered that Emperor Yanyue had been expelled from the Great Xia Dynasty by the Great Xia's fortune, he became vigilant.

When she first met Lu Chen, she could clearly see the desire in his eyes. In addition, there was a predestined connection between them. Now that she had walked into his trap, it was probably unnecessary to think about what Lu Chen would do to her next.

Lu Chen let her go last time because their strengths were roughly equal. This time, Lu Chen has become a Great Emperor, and he can no longer let her leave.

While Lie Hongyun was distracted, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Lie Hongyun was on high alert, and his murderous aura was released.

Lu Chen was somewhat surprised to sense the murderous aura emanating from Lie Hongyun. He hadn't expected to find another person resembling the Heavenly Rainbow Empress.

Lu Chen asked with a smile, "It hasn't been that long since we last met, why are you being so wary of me?"

Lie Hongyun said, "Congratulations on recovering your Great Emperor cultivation in such a short time."

Lu Chen said, "Congratulations to you too."

At this point, Lu Chen glanced at Lie Hongyun's status.

[The reincarnation of the Empress, the Holy Maiden of Yunhua Palace, and the personal disciple of the Empress of Salvation, at the first level of the Saint Realm. Due to the influence of the karmic bond, her cultivation is unlikely to improve further. She plans to return to the Chaotic Star Sea to find a host and sever the karmic bond.]

Seeing Lie Hongyun's identity status, Lu Chen thought to himself, "The Line of Fate? She can also see the Line of Fate?"

Lu Chen then calmed down, released his divine sense, and sensed the cause and effect between the two.

Sure enough, a red marriage thread was found wrapped around Lie Hongyun's body, and the other end of the marriage thread was himself.

Lu Chen then glanced at Lie Hongyun. Lie Hongyun was dressed in a red cloud-patterned dress, holding a long sword in her hand. She had her hair tied in a single ponytail, revealing her fair forehead, and exuded a cold, chivalrous aura.

"You've come to see me this time to sever ties with this cause and effect?"

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Lie Hongyun was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Lu Chen to guess her purpose.

Lie Hongyun quickly realized that Lu Chen was an emperor, so it wasn't surprising that he could see the marriage line between them.

Now that he had seen the thread of fate connecting them, he could naturally guess what her purpose was in returning this time.

As the reincarnation of an empress, she would never want to be controlled by others, so her purpose is obvious.

Lu Chen continued, "Since there's a predestined connection between us, it proves we were meant to be together. Why try to sever it? Wouldn't it be better to let things take their natural course?"

Lie Hongyun said expressionlessly, "I am the reincarnation of the Great Emperor."

Upon hearing Lie Hongyun's reply, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Are you trying to say that the Emperor cannot be insulted?"

"Putting aside the fact that you are no longer an emperor and cannot sever the karmic ties between us, even if you were an emperor, so what? You are an emperor and I am an emperor. Our relationship is equal, and this is not an insult to you."

Lie Hongyun's face remained cold. Although that's what she said, as a Great Emperor, how could she possibly submit to someone else?

Lie Hongyun released his murderous aura and continued, "I walk the path of killing."

Lie Hongyun's meaning is very simple: the way of killing and the way of ruthlessness are very similar. People with too much killing power cannot have emotions, otherwise they will easily suffer the backlash of emotions.

Lu Chen said calmly, "Come with me, I'll take you to see someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen waved his hand and used the Spatial Teleportation technique to bring Lie Hongyun to a magnificent palace.

Red curtains hung everywhere in the palace, and the red cloth was embroidered with phoenixes in gold thread, making the whole palace look very grand and luxurious.

In the middle of the bedroom, there was a large bed, and sitting in the center of the bed was a woman dressed in a phoenix robe.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not have an empress, but every one of Lu Chen's wives and concubines could wear phoenix robes, so it could be said that all his wives and concubines were empresses.

However, Lie Hongyun was unaware of this. When she saw the woman in front of her, her heart trembled, and she thought to herself, "Is this the Empress of Great Xia?"

Why does she exude such a murderous aura?

Just as Lie Hongyun was lost in thought, Empress Tianhong opened her beautiful eyes. After glancing at Lie Hongyun, her red eyes fell on Lu Chen.

"who is she?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "My woman, I brought her to see you. You both walk the path of killing, so you must have some common ground."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Empress Tianhong instantly understood what he meant. This guy was using her as a role model, and he brought this woman here to tell her something.

Look, even this woman who wields the power of killing is my woman, and you can become my woman too.

After guessing Lu Chen's purpose, Empress Tianhong felt extremely displeased. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her killing power instantly filled the entire palace.

Empress Tianhong coldly stated, "I am not your property; we are merely partners."

Lu Chen ignored Empress Tianhong's words and instead turned to look at Lie Hongyun, saying, "Can you feel the killing power emanating from her? She is a Great Emperor who has attained enlightenment through killing. Not only do we often cultivate together, but she is also pregnant with my child."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lie Hongyun found it hard to believe.

How could a great emperor who wields the power of killing actually submit to another woman and even become pregnant with her child?

This……

How is that possible?

However, after seeing the marriage lines wrapped around the empress in front of her, she had no choice but to believe Lu Chen's words.

The empress's marriage line is thicker than hers, clearly indicating that her relationship with Lu Chen is extraordinary.

Although she doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Lu Chen, the marriage line shows that she and Lu Chen are clearly bound together.

This is an emperor who attained enlightenment through slaughter! How did this man manage to do it? (End of Chapter)
