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

The thought of being deceived by Lu Chen ignited a fire of anger in Sikong Youpeng's heart.

Without hesitation, he turned and headed towards Tianlang City, intending to ambush Lu Chen near the city.

Since the other party went to Tianlang City, he would definitely appear there. He originally wanted to take advantage of Lu Chen's absence from Tianlang City to eliminate him, so that no one would know that he was the one who did it.

He still needs to remain hidden within the Crimson Flame Sect for some time; premature exposure would not be a good thing for him.

However, since he did not know the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master, he could only wait and see.

With this in mind, Sikong Youpeng headed to Tianlang City as quickly as possible.

At this time, Lu Chen had already instructed Xiao Xueying to put away the fairy ship, and they headed to Tianlang City by flying at low altitude on their swords.

Lu Chen had already guessed that Sikong Youpeng would likely realize what was happening, and once Sikong Youpeng came to his senses, he would catch up as quickly as possible.

With their current strength, they are definitely not as fast as Sikong Youpeng, a Golden Immortal. Therefore, they would be better off abandoning the immortal ship, disguising themselves, and heading to Tianlang City.

On the way to Sirius City, Lu Chen asked, puzzled, "Why doesn't Sirius City have a teleportation array?"

The entire Tianyan Immortal Realm is larger than the universe inside the Chaos Beast's belly, and teleportation arrays are used very frequently in this Tianyan Immortal Realm.

Lu Chen was somewhat puzzled. For a city as far away as Tianlang City, if you want to manage it well, you should at least set up a teleportation array so that the people from Xuan Yue Palace can reach Tianlang City in a very short time.

Xiao Xueying said, "There used to be teleportation arrays, but many cities' teleportation arrays have broken down over the past tens of millions of years. They haven't been repaired since. If all the teleportation arrays were repaired, it would cost a lot of spirit crystals. Plus, maintenance also requires spirit crystals, so we simply stopped repairing them."

Lu Chen thought about it and realized that, indeed, there were countless cities under the rule of the Xuan Yue Palace. If teleportation arrays were built in all the cities, the amount of spirit crystals consumed would be considerable.

This is an economic issue; it's not that it can't be fixed, but it's simply unnecessary.

After speaking with Lu Chen, Xiao Xueying still took the initiative to ask the question that had been on her mind, "Junior Brother Chen, are you really from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Shiyun slowed down her pace and turned slightly to the side, wanting to hear Lu Chen's answer.

As Lu Chen flew on his sword, he said, "I just made that up. I've been wandering in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm for tens of millions of years, and I've long forgotten where I came from."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women felt a little disappointed. They had been wondering if Chen Lu might be the reincarnation of Lu Chen.

Thinking about it now, even the souls of immortals would dissipate after entering the Chaos Sea, so how could they possibly be reincarnated?

Chen Lu is Chen Lu, and has nothing to do with Lu Chen.

The two women stopped overthinking.

After several more days of travel, they finally arrived at Sirius City. When they arrived at the city gate, they did not immediately enter Sirius City.

There were many soldiers outside Sirius City, indicating that security had been strengthened.

Sirius City stated publicly that it had strengthened its security to welcome the special envoy and to prevent any malicious individuals from harming him.

However, Lu Chen could tell at a glance that the city lord of Tianlang City was worried that they would blend into the crowd and enter Tianlang City, so he deliberately made up an excuse to say that it was for the safety of the special envoy.

Lu Chen used his divine sense to investigate and found that most of the people at the city gate were ordinary people, but there was a celestial being on the city tower.

Lu Chen withdrew his divine sense to avoid being discovered.

Seeing so many people guarding the city gate, Xiao Xueying asked, "What do we do now?"

Cao Shiyun thought for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "We can't stay hidden forever, so let's just reveal our identities."

Xiao Xueying said, "It's still uncertain whether Tianlang City has been completely controlled by the Crimson Flame Sect. If we expose our identities now, it might be disadvantageous for us."

Lu Chen thought for a moment. They had already arrived in Tianlang City. If they didn't enter Tianlang City, they probably wouldn't know the current situation there.

Lu Chen glanced at the mortals coming and going outside Tianlang City, then found another mortal on the main road and inquired about the recent events in Tianlang City.

They had just inquired about the situation in Tianlang City from ordinary people. Tianlang City is still nominally the territory of Xuan Yue Palace, and the people in the city also believe so.

The main reason Lu Chen and his group dared not go in was that the city lord of Tianlang City and the families of Tianlang City had already betrayed them. If they went in now, it would be like catching turtles in a jar. After all, the people of the Crimson Flame Sect had come to the territory of the Profound Moon Palace to look for them, so there must be someone in Tianlang City who was colluding with the Crimson Flame Sect.

After Lu Chen finished talking with the mortal in front of him, Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun came to Lu Chen. Xiao Xueying said, "Junior Brother Chen, let's go back. The situation is very strange right now."

Lu Chen said, "Since I am a special envoy sent by the Xuan Yue Palace, I must fulfill my duties."

"We can go to nearby cities and inquire about the situation of Sirius City from other cities."

There are other cities near Sirius City. Since the situation in Sirius City is complicated, he decided not to go in for now and instead check out the other cities first. After all, he only came to Sirius City for training and didn't necessarily have to enter it.

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Since he knew that Tianlang City was dangerous, Lu Chen would not rashly enter Tianlang City without a trump card to save his life.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. So they left Tianlang City and came to Jianning City, which was not far from Tianlang City.

Jianning City is just a small city, less than half an hour away from Tianlang City, at least from the perspective of immortals.

For ordinary people, it takes at least two days to travel from Jianning City to Tianlang City. Many caravans of ordinary people traveling to Tianlang City will rest for one night in Jianning City, so there is a lot of information about Tianlang City in Jianning City.

After settling into an inn, Lu Chen took Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun to a tavern frequented by merchants, where they drank and listened to the discussions among the people.

"I don't know why, but Sirius City has suddenly been under martial law these days. Our caravans can't get in, and we can't even pay for things."

"You don't know? It's said that a special envoy from the Xuan Yue Palace is coming. The city lord of Tianlang City is worried that someone might sneak into Tianlang City through a caravan and cause harm to the special envoy, so martial law has been declared."

"We are all just mortals, how could we possibly harm an immortal? Even if someone were to harm that envoy, it would most likely be an immortal."

"That's right. If we're talking about who's most likely to be a threat to the special envoy, it's probably those powerful families in Sirius City."

……

Hearing their conversation, Lu Chen immediately carried a large can of wine to the next table.

Upon seeing Lu Chen's arrival, the group of mortals looked at him with suspicion. The caravan's head guard asked, "Young master, what brings you here?" (End of Chapter)
