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

When Ye Chuyao arrived at Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun's courtyard, she hesitated for a moment. In fact, since Lu Chen returned to Xuan Yue Palace, she had not told Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun about Lu Chen's serious injury.

Not only the two of them, but even very few disciples of the Xuan Yue Palace knew about this. Only the elders knew that Lu Chen was crippled.

The reason for not announcing this news was to avoid damaging their morale, since Lu Chen was the Palace Master's personal disciple.

So after Ye Chuyao brought Lu Chen back, she had him recuperate in her room.

Ye Chuyao stood at the entrance of Lu Chen's courtyard, hesitated for a long time, and finally pushed the door open and entered the courtyard.

At this moment, Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun were both in the courtyard, sitting in the pavilion discussing something. When they saw Ye Chuyao appear at the door, Xiao Xueying immediately asked, "Senior Sister, is there something you need?"

Ye Chuyao thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to tell the two of them that Lu Chen was already a cripple. Then she said, "The elders plan to send Junior Brother Chen to the Immortal City as an inspector. He may not return to Xuan Yue Palace for a while."

Hearing this, Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun were stunned. They had just been chatting and laughing with Lu Chen. Why hadn't Lu Chen told them about this?

However, they didn't care much. Anyway, Lu Chen would leave clones around them wherever he went. Moreover, Lu Chen's clones were connected to his main soul, and all the clones shared the same main body. They were not clones in the traditional sense.

In other words, Lu Chen doesn't have any clones; each clone is the main body.

Xiao Xueying smiled slightly and then said, "Thank you for informing me, Senior Sister."

Seeing that the two women didn't seem to care, Ye Chuyao sighed inwardly. She thought to herself how sad they would be when they found out that their junior brother was already a cripple.

I wonder if they will choose to leave her junior brother on their own initiative.

Although the two of them had married him, divorces between Daoist couples were commonplace in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm. Moreover, divorce between Daoist couples was not as complicated as that between mortals; it was just a matter of a word.

Ye Chuyao felt that the reason why Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun chose to marry Lu Chen was probably because Lu Chen was their master's personal disciple. Now that he has become a cripple, perhaps they no longer have any feelings for him.

If that's really the case, it would probably be a heavy blow to him.

The thought that Lu Chen might be abandoned by Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun suddenly gave Ye Chuyao a sense of anticipation.

At this moment, she wanted to tell Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun about Lu Chen, but considering that if the two women abandoned Lu Chen at this time, it would cause him great harm and be detrimental to his recovery, Ye Chuyao finally gave up the idea.

Ye Chuyao didn't linger there for long, and then turned and left Lu Chen's courtyard.

After Ye Chuyao left, Lu Chen's mortal-immortal avatar came out of the room. Xiao Xueying looked at Lu Chen and said, "Junior brother, why didn't you tell us you were going to the Immortal City to be an inspector?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Senior Sister Ye is lying to you."

Hearing this, the two women were slightly taken aback. He was lying to them? Why would he lie to them?

Lu Chen continued, "My clone was severely injured. Senior Sister Ye thought I was crippled and might be expelled from Xuan Yue Palace by Master, so she wanted to take me to the Immortal City to help me fulfill my wish."

Upon hearing the words "fulfilling wishes," the two women looked at Lu Chen with resentment. They weren't stupid; Ye Chuyao had taken Lu Chen away from Xuan Yue Palace and was even going to help him fulfill his wishes—it didn't seem like a proper wish at all.

What wishes could Lu Chen have?

The two of them had been with Lu Chen for a while and knew him quite well. This bad guy seemed to have no interest in anything other than that kind of thing.

Although they knew what Lu Chen and Ye Chuyao were going to do next, the two women didn't say anything. After all, Lu Chen could create as many clones as he wanted, and they wouldn't be jealous no matter how many women Lu Chen had.

……

Crimson Flame Sect.

Council Hall.

The elders stood solemnly silent, seemingly deep in thought.

At this moment, an elder said, "I didn't expect that the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty would actually come to attack us. It seems that they have indeed colluded with the Blood Eagle Palace."

Another elder said, "We are currently dealing with the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, and I'm afraid we don't have the spare capacity to help the Xuan Yue Palace."

"Although the Celestial Emperor of the Tianxia Celestial Dynasty is only a Celestial Lord, the Tianxia Celestial Dynasty has a profound foundation and several Celestial Kings. It will not be an easy task to withstand their attack. I believe the Xuan Yue Palace will understand us."

Another elder said, "I wonder if the Xuan Yue Palace can withstand the Blood Eagle Palace's attack. If the Xuan Yue Palace can't hold out, after the Xuan Yue Palace is destroyed, I'm afraid the next immortal sect to be destroyed will be our Crimson Flame Sect."

Upon hearing the elder's words, the elders present fell silent once again. They understood the principle of mutual dependence, but they simply did not have the resources to assist the Xuan Yue Palace at present.

After a while, an elder said, "Now we'll see if the Xuan Yue Palace can eliminate the Jade Dragon Sect, the Blood Eagle Palace's vanguard stronghold. I have a feeling that the Blood Eagle Palace will send a powerful expert to guard the Jade Dragon Sect."

No sooner had the elder finished speaking than a deacon hurriedly entered the council hall from outside.

"Sect Master, good news!"

Upon hearing the deacon's words, the Crimson Flame Immortal King, who had remained silent until now, asked, "What good news?"

Ever since the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty's army pressed in, the Crimson Flame Immortal King had been in a very depressed mood, with one bad news after another. Now, upon hearing that there was good news, the Crimson Flame Immortal King couldn't help but feel a little curious.

What good news could there be at this time?

As soon as the Crimson Flame Immortal King finished speaking, the steward took out a jade slip containing information about the Xuan Yue Palace's victory over the Jade Dragon Sect's evil immortal.

When the intelligence report mentioned that Immortal King Lingyin had repelled the split soul projection of Immortal King Guisha, the elders in the council hall instantly became extremely excited.

Although it was just a projection of his divided soul, the fact that Immortal King Lingyin was able to repel him despite being suppressed by evil energy proved that Immortal King Lingyin's strength was extraordinary, which gave them hope for victory in this war.

After regaining his senses, the Crimson Flame Immortal King laughed loudly and said, "Good! Good! Good! It seems that our ally has some strength after all; we were worrying for nothing."

When the Crimson Flame Immortal King heard that the Jade Dragon Sect was being used as a vanguard stronghold by the Evil Immortals, he was worried about whether the Xuan Yue Palace could win the siege. Unexpectedly, even with the Ghost Fiend Immortal King's split soul projection, the Blood Eagle Palace still lost.

Crimson Flame Immortal King then said, "With our allies being so supportive, we cannot fall behind. We must not allow the Heavenly Xia Immortal Dynasty's army to pass through, no matter what."

"Issue my order: launch a counterattack immediately!" (End of Chapter)
