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

Whether the deceased Chen Lu was real or fake, the Soul-Severing Immortal Lord no longer cared. Whether he was real or fake, the Xuan Yue Palace had already assembled a large army to attack the Jade Dragon Sect.

Once they arrive, the Xuan Yue Palace will fall into their trap.

The Xuan Yue Palace advanced very quickly; in less than two months, its warships arrived within five days' distance of the Jade Dragon Sect.

However, Xuan Yue Palace did not launch an attack immediately. Before launching an attack, Xuan Yue Palace would have its affiliated sects launch probing attacks against Yu Long Sect.

In this attack on the Jade Dragon Sect, the Profound Moon Palace sent a total of four Immortal Lords, but including the affiliated sects of the Profound Moon Palace, the Profound Moon Palace had a total of ten Immortal Lords on its side. In terms of scale, this was no small matter.

The affiliated sects of the Xuan Yue Palace have already surrounded the Jade Dragon Sect. Unless the Jade Dragon Sect uses a teleportation array, they will not be able to leave the territory of the Xuan Yue Palace.

However, teleportation arrays also have their limits. Only high-level teleportation arrays have the ability to teleport on a large scale, and each teleportation consumes a large amount of immortal crystals.

The reason it took two months for the Xuan Yue Palace's warships to arrive was because the Xuan Yue Palace did not use a teleportation array, but instead flew over at full speed.

Even the Xuan Yue Palace has to consider the consumption of immortal crystals. This kind of evenly matched war requires not only stronger individual strength, but also a deeper understanding of the immortal sects' resources.

Before either side produces a Celestial Venerable, the war will be extremely costly.

After the army of Xuan Yue Palace and its affiliated sects joined forces, Immortal Lord Wei Xue, the leader of Xuan Yue Palace, summoned the immortal lords of the affiliated sects to discuss the matter of besieging and annihilating Yu Long Sect.

Under a clear, cloudless sky, a colossal palace floated high in the air. This palace was a Heavenly Rank Immortal Artifact, one of the few Heavenly Rank Immortal Artifacts in the Xuan Yue Palace, capable of withstanding attacks from Immortal Kings.

Of course, if the Celestial King were to go all out, it wouldn't be long before he could break through the palace's protective array.

At this moment, all the Immortal Lords from the affiliated sects of the Xuan Yue Palace who participated in the siege of the Jade Dragon Sect had arrived at the temporary council hall.

At this moment, Immortal Lord Wei Xue and three other Immortal Lords from the Xuan Yue Palace entered the main hall. Just as Immortal Lord Wei Xue was about to speak, the sect leader of one of the Immortal Lords' affiliated sects asked, "Immortal Lord Wei Xue, we heard that the Xuan Yue Palace Master's personal disciple was killed by the Jade Dragon Sect. Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, the other five Immortal Lords from the affiliated sects in the main hall all turned to look at Immortal Lord Wei Xue.

Immortal Lord Wei Xue said calmly, "What died was only Chen Lu's clone. After he discovered the abnormality of the Jade Dragon Sect, he used his clone to test it out."

Upon hearing this, the immortal lords thought to themselves, "No wonder the Xuan Yue Palace sent Yun Yu Die's personal disciple out to patrol. It turns out they wanted to use this method to determine whether the affiliated sects had submitted to the Blood Eagle Palace. Fortunately, they didn't have any intention of betraying us, otherwise they might have been fooled too."

For a sect that betrayed the Xuan Yue Palace, capturing Yun Yu Die's personal disciple would be an immense achievement, and no traitor could resist the temptation of such a reward.

Among the six Immortal Lords, the sect leader of the Hundred Barbarian Sect, Immortal Lord Hundred Barbarian, frowned slightly. He suddenly felt somewhat fortunate, thinking that it was fortunate that when Ye Chuyao came to inspect their sect, they did not attack her, otherwise their Hundred Barbarian Sect would probably have been besieged.

Just then, Ye Chuyao and Lu Chen entered the main hall at the same time. Immortal Lord Weixue introduced them, saying, "These two are our hall master's personal disciples."

Everyone immediately bowed to Lu Chen and Ye Chuyao, saying, "Greetings, Young Master Chen, and Miss Ye."

Immortal Lord Wei Xue continued, "Alright, let's start discussing how to attack the Jade Dragon Sect. Since the Jade Dragon Sect dared to release the news of Chen Lu's death so openly, it proves that they must have made preparations. Perhaps there are already quite a few evil immortals within the Jade Dragon Sect."

Immediately afterwards, Immortal Lord Wei Xue and the sect leaders of various sects formulated a battle plan, while Lu Chen and Ye Chuyao simply listened from the side without interrupting.

After discussing the specific search plan, Immortal Lord Wei Xue asked, "Does anyone have any questions? Please feel free to ask now."

At this moment, Immortal Lord Baiman asked, "I heard that someone from the Xuan Yue Palace recently broke through to the Immortal King realm. Isn't that Immortal King participating in this encirclement and suppression operation?"

"After all, the Blood Eagle Palace has an evil immortal at the Immortal Lord level. Even if we ten Immortal Lords are their match, we probably can't stop them. But if an Immortal King were to take action, we could probably easily deal with the Jade Dragon Sect."

Immortal Lord Wei Xue said, "We cannot confirm whether this is a diversionary tactic by the Blood Eagle Palace. Our Palace Master is currently in seclusion and needs someone to protect her, so Palace Master Ling Yin will not participate in this war."

Hearing this, the immortal lords all felt a little regretful. Although the Xuan Yue Palace had gathered so many people this time, and even sent four immortal lords themselves, this was likely to be their first direct confrontation with the Blood Eagle Palace, so they were all more or less worried.

Immortal Lord Wei Xue then asked, "Does anyone else have any questions?"

The group looked at each other, then said, "We will obey the orders of our ancestor."

Immortal Lord Wei Xue said, "Then everyone, go and prepare. We will launch the attack in three days."

After speaking, Bai Man Xianjun and the others left the main hall and returned to their respective encampments to begin war preparations.

Meanwhile, at the Xuan Yue Palace.

Lu Chen's mortal avatar was in the courtyard discussing the true purpose of the Blood Eagle Palace with Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun.

Xiao Xueying said, "I think they're trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, draw Lingyin Immortal King there, and then launch a surprise attack on Xuan Yue Palace."

Cao Shiyun said, "Perhaps they simply want to use the Jade Dragon Sect as bait to gradually weaken the power of the Profound Moon Palace."

Xiao Xueying said, "It's not easy to weaken the power of Xuan Yue Palace. After all, Xuan Yue Palace has so many affiliated forces. Immortal Lord Wei Xue will definitely not send Xuan Yue Palace disciples up right away. She will definitely send other affiliated forces to scout out the situation first."

Cao Shiyun then looked at Lu Chen, who was lying on Xiao Xueying's snow-white lap, and asked, "Junior brother, what are you thinking?"

Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, the figure of Immortal King Lingyin appeared in the courtyard. Upon seeing Immortal King Lingyin, the two women hurriedly said, "Greetings, Palace Master Lingyin."

Lingyin Immortal King immediately said, "We're family, no need to be so polite."

Upon hearing the words "family," the two women immediately understood, and then they gave Lu Chen a resentful look.

Lu Chen asked, "Did Immortal King Lingyin need something from me?"

Lingyin Immortal King said, "I am a little worried that an Immortal King from the Blood Eagle Palace will appear in the Jade Dragon Sect. Although they brought the Wind Control Palace with them, if an Immortal King really appears, the Wind Control Palace will not be able to withstand the full force of the Immortal King for many times."

"I want to know if you have any way to temporarily protect the Xuan Yue Palace. If a Celestial King really appears, I can go to the Jade Dragon Sect to support them."
