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

Seeing Lu Chen dressed in brocade white robes with a white jade belt around his waist, and with the ethereal aura he exuded, Xu Weifeng, the caravan's head guard, knew that Lu Chen was no ordinary person.

Lu Chen poured a bowl of wine for Xu Weifeng and the other two, then sat down to the side. "I'm planning to go to Tianlang City. I overheard you discussing it earlier, so I wanted to ask you about the current situation there."

Upon hearing this, Xu Weifeng immediately said, "Young Master, take my advice, you should not go to Tianlang City recently."

"Only a very small number of people can enter Sirius City now. We just came back from Sirius City."

Lu Chen asked, "Because of that special envoy from the Xuan Yue Palace?"

Xu Weifeng said, "Yes, I heard that the special envoy's identity is very unusual. The city lord of Tianlang City is afraid that the special envoy will encounter some danger, so he has put on martial law."

Lu Chen said, "Since he's a special envoy from the Xuan Yue Palace, surely no one would dare to attack him on Xuan Yue Palace territory? What's there to be wary of?"

Xu Weifeng picked up his wine bowl and drank a bowl of wine. Lu Chen immediately filled it up for him again. Xu Weifeng continued, "Who knows? When the special envoys of the Xuan Yue Palace came to Tianlang City before, there was no martial law. I even met the immortal special envoy of the Xuan Yue Palace twenty years ago."

At this moment, the guard next to Xu Weifeng said, "I feel that something big is about to happen in Tianlang City. We mortals can't possibly pose any threat to immortals, yet they won't even let mortals in. Perhaps the major families of Tianlang City are going to make a move against the special envoy of Xuan Yue Palace."

Upon hearing this, Xu Weifeng quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense, or the immortals might hear you."

The man said, "I'm not making this up. Many of those aristocratic families have produced immortals these days. I don't believe they have no dealings with the Crimson Flame Sect."

Lu Chen said, "It's not surprising that those aristocratic families have immortals, is it?"

Xu Weifeng said, "It's not surprising. Although the Xuan Yue Palace only recruits female disciples, male members of aristocratic families can also join the Xuan Yue Palace's affiliated forces."

"but……"

"The family businesses of those powerful clans in Sirius City have basically not expanded southward. There aren't even any caravans of major families on our trade route. Meanwhile, the north is the territory of the Crimson Flame Sect. It's a bit unreasonable that their caravans only go north."

Tianlang City is within the territory ruled by Xuan Yue Palace. Logically, when doing business, they should prioritize other cities within Xuan Yue Palace, because only within Xuan Yue Palace can their industries and various interests be protected. However, instead of developing southward, they develop northward.

The north is the territory of the Crimson Flame Sect, and families from Sky Wolf City cannot be protected when developing within the Crimson Flame Sect's territory.

Those powerful families couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Knowing full well that their industries and interests wouldn't be protected, they still wanted to expand into the territory of the Crimson Flame Sect. This was truly unreasonable.

Xu Weifeng then added, "Those major families in Tianlang City seem to be ready to break away from Xuan Yue Palace at any moment."

After hearing Xu Weifeng's words, Lu Chen thought about it. So it seemed that the powerful families in Tianlang City were really planning to join the Crimson Flame Sect. If he entered Tianlang City today, he might really be facing a life-or-death situation.

This really stumped him. Although he had regained all his memories from the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, his cultivation level was still at the Earth Immortal Realm. With his current strength, he couldn't possibly contend with the Golden Immortal he had encountered before. Could it be that they really had to go back?

Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, a system notification suddenly sounded.

"Yun Qingshu gave birth to twins for the host, and as a reward, the host is given the Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword, the Immortal Slayer Sword, and the Immortal King's Last Curse."

Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback. Yun Qingshu had given birth? And twins at that?

The baby was finally born. He had been waiting for this reward for a long time, but he didn't know if these two rewards would be enough to get him out of his current predicament.

Lu Chen then glanced at the Immortal Slaying Sword. Even when he was in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, he had never possessed a Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword. He had never even seen one. Immortal artifacts of this level were usually the treasures of certain immortal sects and could not be taken out casually.

This immortal sword is naturally useful to him, but relying solely on a Heaven-rank immortal sword is probably not enough for him to kill a Golden Immortal.

There is a three-realm difference between a Golden Immortal and an Earth Immortal. He wields a Heaven-rank Immortal Sword, which at most allows him to possess the strength of someone two realms higher.

Lu Chen then turned his gaze to the Immortal King's Legacy Curse.

He had never heard of this before, but since it was associated with the "Immortal King," it didn't seem like an ordinary treasure at all.

Lu Chen then clicked on the introduction to the Immortal King's Legacy Curse.

[The Immortal King's Last Curse: A curse left behind by an Immortal King before his death. Activating the curse grants the host temporary Immortal King power, and the curse can regenerate its power on its own, allowing for multiple uses.]

After seeing the effects of the Immortal King's curse, Lu Chen fell silent.

Just when you're about to fall asleep, this is perfect; the system is as considerate as ever...

Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, Xu Weifeng continued, "Young master, the situation in Tianlang City is unclear right now, so it is not the time to go there."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "You're right. I plan to stay in Jianning City for a few more days and see how things go."

"Thank you for telling me all this. This bottle of wine is a gift for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen turned and left.

With the Immortal King's curse, what is there to fear from Golden Immortals?

He'd just go for it; he wanted to see what the major families of Tianlang City were really up to.

Lu Chen then left the tavern with Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun. Watching Lu Chen and the others leave, Xu Weifeng's eyes flickered slightly.

At this moment, a guard from the caravan said, "This young master doesn't seem like an ordinary person. Could he be a scion of some powerful family? We were just saying bad things about those families, and he overheard us. What if...?"

The guard hesitated, but upon hearing this, another guard broke out in a cold sweat.

Xu Weifeng picked up the wine jar that Lu Chen had placed on the table, poured himself a bowl of wine, and then said indifferently, "His status is much more noble than those young masters from aristocratic families."

Upon hearing Xu Weifeng's words, the guards were taken aback. Xu Weifeng then said, "There's going to be a good show now."

Although Xu Weifeng was just a mortal, he often led caravans to travel all over the country and had seen all kinds of people, including many immortals.

The man immediately inquired about news from Tianlang City, and given his otherworldly demeanor, Xu Weifeng had already guessed his identity. He realized that the man's many words were a deliberate warning that something had happened in Tianlang City and that it was best not to go.

Just then, Xu Weifeng suddenly felt a warm current flow through his body, and his mind became unusually clear. The next moment, he felt the blue spiritual energy flowing in the air.

Xu Weifeng was overjoyed and excitedly stood up. He was about to kneel down, but ultimately restrained himself and did not kowtow in the direction Lu Chen had left. (End of Chapter)
