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

Outside Sirius City, an elderly man with gray hair floated in the air. He wore a deep red robe and his body was radiating raging flames.

Lingyin Immortal Lord then appeared outside Tianlang City with Lu Chen.

Upon seeing Lingyin Immortal Lord, Heiyun Immortal Lord was somewhat puzzled, wondering why she had sought him out.

Although the Crimson Flame Sect and the Profound Moon Palace are located next to each other, their high-ranking officials rarely interact.

Lingyin Immortal Lord then threw everyone out of the spirit clothing space and said to Heiyun Immortal Lord, "Heiyun Immortal Lord, search their souls first."

This……

Black Cloud Immortal Lord glanced at the people present, then released his immortal energy, directly conducting a soul search on Ding Qingfeng and the group of aristocratic families.

When he saw the conversation between Ding Qingfeng and Sikong Youpeng through the soul search, he was stunned.

He never expected that Sikong Youpeng, an inner sect elder, would take it upon himself to assassinate the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master.

If the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master really dies, the two great immortal sects will probably be locked in a life-or-death struggle from now on.

The higher-ups of the Crimson Flame Sect were aware of Sirius City's desire to join them. The reason they hadn't yet brought Sirius City under their rule was because the Crimson Flame Sect didn't want to clash with the Profound Moon Palace.

As an inner sect elder, Sikong Youpeng couldn't possibly be unaware of the intentions of the Crimson Flame Sect's higher-ups.

After searching the soul, Immortal Lord Heiyun hurriedly said, "Immortal Lord Lingyin, the assassination of your sect's master's personal disciple was not our sect's intention. It was all done by Sikong Youpeng on his own initiative."

At this point, Immortal Lord Black Cloud's gaze fell on Lu Chen, and he said, "This young friend must be the personal disciple of Immortal King Profound Moon. On behalf of the Crimson Flame Sect, I apologize to you for what happened this time. The Crimson Flame Sect is willing to offer a Earth-rank Immortal weapon as compensation."

"I hope you can forgive the Crimson Flame Sect's oversight."

Lingyin Immortal Lord said, "Isn't Heiyun Immortal Lord curious as to why your inner sect elders would attack the personal disciple of my Xuan Yue Palace Master?"

Hearing Lingyin Immortal Lord's words, Heiyun Immortal Lord was slightly taken aback. He was indeed somewhat puzzled by what Sikong Youpeng had done.

Black Cloud Immortal Lord said, "Could it be that this young friend and Sikong Youpeng have some misunderstanding?"

Lingyin Immortal Lord said, "Of course not."

"That's because your elder is a spy for the Blood Eagle Hall. His attack on Chen Lu was an attempt to provoke a war between the two great immortal sects, and then take advantage of their weakened state to destroy both of us."

Upon hearing Lingyin Immortal Lord's words, Heiyun Immortal Lord was completely stunned.

After regaining his senses, he asked incredulously, "Does Immortal Lord Lingyin have any evidence for what you said?"

Lingyin Immortal Lord said, "Chen Lu knows some divination techniques and can deduce a person's true identity. When he saw Sikong Youpeng, he deduced that he came from the Blood Eagle Palace."

Although Lu Chen claimed that he identified Sikong Youpeng's identity using a magic weapon, Lingyin Immortal Lord was worried that if he said it was a magic weapon, Heiyun Immortal Lord would ask Lu Chen to take out the magic weapon to verify it.

Lingyin Immortal Lord was unsure whether Lu Chen actually possessed such a magical treasure, so he simply said it was a Heavenly Secret Technique, since the Heavenly Secret Technique could deduce a person's identity.

Most immortals possess some divination skills, but they all have the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven. Immortals of low strength cannot deduce the affairs of most immortals, but there are also immortals who are particularly skilled in the art of divination.

For someone skilled in divination, deducing a person's true identity is a very simple matter.

Upon hearing Lingyin Immortal Lord's words, Heiyun Immortal Lord had no doubts. He glanced at Lu Chen and then said, "Young friend, you truly deserve to be the personal disciple of Xuan Yue Immortal King, even proficient in the art of celestial secrets."

"After I return, I will report this matter to our sect leader."

The reason why Immortal Lord Heiyun did not doubt Immortal Lord Lingyin's words was because Sikong Youpeng's behavior was indeed too abnormal. Sikong Youpeng, an inner disciple, actually went to assassinate the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master without the sect's orders.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xuan Yue Palace Master's personal disciple had some special abilities, the two major immortal sects would probably already be at war by now.

In an era when the Great Dao of Procreation was closed, the population dwindled, and countless lives were lost in the great wars between immortal sects. The dead could not be replaced in time, so for the vast majority of immortal sects, peaceful coexistence was the best option.

Occasionally annexing small mortal cities belonging to other immortal sects is nothing unusual, but there is absolutely no intention of a full-scale war between two equally powerful immortal sects.

Immortal Lord Black Cloud said, "We hope Immortal Lord Lingyin will wait a few more days in Sirius City. Our Crimson Flame Sect will definitely give your esteemed hall an explanation and give our young friend an explanation."

Lingyin Immortal Lord said, "Alright."

Without saying anything more, Immortal Lord Black Cloud turned around and left Sirius City.

In a short while, Immortal Lord Black Cloud returned to the Crimson Flame Sect. As soon as he returned, a man dressed in a red Taoist robe appeared beside him.

"What happened?"

Sirius City is very close to the Crimson Flame Sect. As a Celestial King, Wei Fusheng immediately sensed that Immortal Lord Black Cloud was heading to Sirius City, and also sensed the aura of another Celestial Lord in Sirius City.

Sirius City is the territory of the Profound Moon Palace. Immortal Lord Black Cloud could not have gone to Sirius City without a reason. He had already told Immortal Lord Black Cloud and the elders of the Crimson Flame Sect that no matter how much the people of Sirius City wanted to join the Crimson Flame Sect, in order to avoid conflict with the Profound Moon Palace, Sirius City could not be brought under the rule of the Crimson Flame Sect.

Upon seeing that it was Wei Fusheng, Immortal Lord Heiyun quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."

"Sect Master, it was Immortal Lord Lingyin from the Xuan Yue Palace who was looking for me."

"The inner sect elder of the Crimson Flame Sect, Sikong Youpeng, took it upon himself to go to Tianlang City to assassinate the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Immortal King. Fortunately, the Xuan Yue Immortal King's personal disciple had some skills and survived."

Upon hearing this, Wei Fusheng frowned. He didn't even dare to annex Tianlang City, yet Sikong Youpeng dared to assassinate the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master.

Wei Fusheng flew into a rage and roared, "Who gave Sikong Youpeng this audacity?!"

"Where is Sikong Youpeng? Where is he now?"

Black Cloud Immortal Lord said, "He should have already been dealt with by Lingyin Immortal Lord."

Wei Fusheng asked, "What did the Xuan Yue Palace say?"

Regardless of the circumstances, Sikong Youpeng was an inner elder of the Crimson Flame Sect, and the identity of the assassin was not simple. Therefore, in Wei Fusheng's view, the Xuan Yue Palace would definitely not let the matter rest.

To settle this matter, the Crimson Flame Sect will likely have to bleed heavily.

Just as Wei Fusheng was thinking this, Immortal Lord Heiyun spoke up: "Sect Master, according to Immortal Lord Lingyin, Immortal King Xuanyue's personal disciple is skilled in the art of divination and can deduce a person's identity. He deduced that Sikong Youpeng is not a member of the Crimson Flame Sect, but rather a spy for the Blood Eagle Palace." (End of Chapter)
