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

There are celestial beings in the North!

How is that possible?

The leader of the Tongshen Sect was completely blank in his mind; he had never expected that a celestial being would appear in the Northern Kingdom.

After regaining his senses, the leader of the Divine Sect suddenly realized something.

Xuan Yue Palace...

It must be Xuan Yue Palace!

The Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace has lived in the Northern King's Mansion for a long time, which proves that the Northern King and Xuan Yue Palace have a very good relationship. This celestial being must have been sent by Xuan Yue Palace!

The idea of ​​escaping instantly crossed the mind of the leader of the Divine Sect.

He was already struggling enough dealing with Zhuge Chongguang, and now not only has there been a pseudo-celestial being, but there's even a celestial being himself. He can't possibly be their match.

At this moment, the leader of the Divine Sect gripped the knife in his hand and swung it out.

The Eighteen Heavenly Slashes!

The next moment, eighteen purple sword energies flew towards Lu Chen and the others at the same time. Xuan Yuan Chaoge immediately raised his hand and struck out with a palm, and the eighteen sword energies instantly dissipated.

However, after the smoke and dust cleared, the leader of the Tongshen Cult had also disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the leader of the Tongshen Sect had escaped, Xuanyuan Chaoge was about to make a move when Lu Chen said from the side, "Don't rush, let's wait until he leaves the city."

The self-destruction of Hengyou Daoist just now was enough to destroy a city. If it weren't for the fact that it was far from the new city, the new city would definitely have been affected.

If we attack the Master of the Divine Sect now, and push him too far, he might just self-destruct his dantian like the Daoist Hengyou did. If he self-destructs inside the city, the common people will definitely not survive. So it's best to take action outside the city.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's reminder, Xuan Yuan Chaoge immediately understood and said, "This old minister understands."

Xuanyuan Chaoge then released his spiritual power to sense the exact location of the Tongshen Sect Master, but did not immediately chase after him.

A moment later, the Master of the Divine Sect left the old city. With his pseudo-celestial speed, he could run several kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Sensing that the Tongshen Sect Leader was far enough away from the old city, Xuanyuan Chaoge said to Lu Chen, "Your Majesty, the Tongshen Sect Leader is far away from the old city. Even if he self-destructs his dantian, it will not affect the old city."

Lu Chen then said, "Alright, let's set off then. Take me with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Chaoge put her hand on Lu Chen's shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan Chaoge brought Lu Chen to the front of the Tongshen Sect Master.

At this moment, the leader of the Tongshen Sect realized that no one was chasing him. He was extremely excited, thinking that he had escaped. Little did he know that Xuanyuan Chaoge and Lu Chen were already waiting for him ahead.

At this moment, the Master of the Divine Realm cursed, "What kind of bullshit celestial beings are they! They still can't catch up with me!"

"Luckily I ran away fast enough, otherwise I probably would have ended up like that Hengyou guy!"

"It's all Emperor Xia's fault! This must all be a trap set by Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia wants to use the Northern Celestials to get rid of us. Once I return alive, I will definitely lead the Four Directions Mountain to attack Great Xia!"

Just as the Tongshen Sect Leader was talking to himself, a voice came from afar, "If you want to lead the Four Directions Mountain to attack the Great Xia, I'm afraid you no longer have that chance."

Upon hearing this voice, the Master of the Divine Sect was stunned. He stopped in his tracks and suddenly realized that the young pseudo-celestial being and the celestial being were waiting for him in front of him.

How could that be...?

He had used all his strength to escape at top speed, and he hadn't even sensed the other party chasing him. Why were these two people in front of him?

The leader of the Divine Sect immediately gripped his broadsword tightly. "Who exactly are you people?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Chen chuckled. It seemed that the Tongshen Sect Master, like Hengyou Daoist, had no idea what he looked like.

This is not surprising, since he has always stayed in the Northern Prince's Mansion and rarely goes out.

Lu Chen then said, "Didn't the leader of the Divine Sect come to kill me? How come you don't even know who I am? You're not doing a very good job as an assassin."

Upon hearing this, the Tong Shen Sect Master displayed the same expression as Heng You Dao Ren had shown earlier.

He stared wide-eyed at Lu Chen in disbelief.

"North...King of the North..."

"Impossible! How could you possibly be the Northern King? How old is the Northern King this year? How could he possibly become a pseudo-celestial being?!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not is not important. What's important is whether you want to live or die."

The Tongshen Sect Leader quickly realized that his escape was hopeless. If he could escape from a Celestial Being, then Hengyou Daoist should have been able to escape as well, and he wouldn't have had to self-destruct his dantian.

The fact that Hengyou Daoist's self-destruction of his dantian did not cause much damage to Lu Chen and the old man proves that the strength of a Celestial Being far exceeds that of a Pseudo-Celestial Being.

A difference of just one word makes all the difference.

The leader of the Divine Sect immediately said, "I want to live! I want to live!!!"

"Your Highness, whatever you want to know, I will tell you, as long as you are willing to let me leave!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "You must have been sent by my father to assassinate me, right?"

The Master of the Divine Sect immediately said, "Yes, he said that the condition for him to become a celestial being was to kill all the vassal kings. We believed him, so I joined forces with the Daoist Hengyou to prepare to assassinate you."

"I never imagined that all of this was a conspiracy by the Xia Emperor. He wanted to use the Northern Kingdom to eliminate me and Daoist Hengyou!"

At this point, the leader of the Tongshen Sect gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush back to the capital right now and settle accounts with Emperor Xia. If it weren't for Emperor Xia, how could they have ended up in this situation?

They were already pseudo-celestial beings, just one step away from becoming celestial beings, but at this moment they encountered a life-or-death crisis.

Seeing the distorted expression on the face of the Master of the Divine Realm, who looked unwilling, Lu Chen said with a smile, "You've lived for over a hundred years, yet you're still so naive. How can you be so sure that the conditions he described for becoming a Celestial Being are true?"

"The conditions for becoming a Celestial Being are crucial for pseudo-Celestial Beings who have entered the Dao Integration stage. If others find out, they may be deliberately obstructed by some people with ulterior motives."

Generally speaking, becoming a celestial being is certainly difficult. Zhuge Chongguang initially guessed that the condition for the Xia Emperor to become a celestial being was to unify the entire Xia Dynasty. If that was the condition, it would indeed be quite difficult for the Xia Emperor.

However, if the condition for the Xia Emperor to become a celestial being was simply to kill all the vassal kings, that condition would be much easier. Obviously, it couldn't be that condition, and the Xia Emperor was clearly not telling the truth.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Tong Shen Sect Master was stunned for a moment. He realized that they had been tricked, but there was no use thinking about it now. At this point, survival was the most important thing. As long as he survived, he could seek revenge on Emperor Xia after breaking through to the Celestial Realm.

The leader of the Tong Shen Sect immediately said, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. If Your Highness spares me, I will lead the entire Sifang Mountain to submit to Your Highness upon my return!"

Upon hearing Tongshen Jiaozhu's words, Lu Chen glanced at Tongshen Jiaozhu's personal information.

【Name: Master of Divine Intervention】

[Identity: Patriarch of Sifang Mountain]

[Strength: Pseudo-Celestial Being]

Loyalty: -50

Lu Chen chuckled. He had originally been thinking about whether he could subdue the Tongshen Sect Leader and then win over the entire Sifang Mountain, but when he saw that the loyalty was negative.

He could accept zero loyalty, but negative loyalty was unacceptable; negative loyalty proved that he had no intention of siding with the Northern Kingdom.

Lu Chen then said, "That's fine, but you'll need to sign a blood pact with me." (End of Chapter)
