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

"Although I have recovered to the Celestial Realm, if Emperor Xia truly possesses a weapon capable of killing a Celestial, then I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to help you."

Yun Xianxian wasn't stupid. If it wouldn't threaten her life, she would certainly have no problem taking action.

But if the enemy possessed a weapon capable of killing her, she certainly wouldn't be willing to charge forward.

She still dreamed of one day leaving this world and returning to the world of cultivation where she lived. If she died in this world, how could she go back?

Hearing Yun Xianxian's words, Lu Chen chuckled inwardly, not expecting that his fairy master was so afraid of death.

However, it's normal to be afraid of death; it's human nature.

But then, how can we get rid of that weapon that can kill the Celestials?

With a weapon that threatens the Celestials, those Celestials certainly can't appear casually anymore. If a Celestial is killed as soon as it appears, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Seeing Lu Chen fall silent, Yun Xianxian continued, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Generally, weapons like this cannot be used multiple times. If a pseudo-celestial being uses this weapon, it can probably only be used once at most."

Hearing Yun Xianxian's words, Lu Chen felt somewhat helpless. Apart from Yun Xianxian, the Northern Kingdom only had one Celestial Being. Even if that weapon could be used once, it would be a huge loss for the Northern Kingdom if it hit Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Could it be that he went and summoned that celestial being from the Black Dragon Kingdom as well?

The main task of the Black Dragon Kingdom now is to monitor the Misty World and put pressure on the Dayue Dynasty. The Celestial Being of the Black Dragon Kingdom cannot be transferred away casually.

Even if they summoned the Celestials from the Black Dragon Kingdom, they still wouldn't dare to act rashly until they found the weapon in the Great Xia Imperial Palace that could kill the Celestials. After all, the Celestials are currently the highest known combat force in the world, and losing even one would be a loss.

However, heading south is inevitable. They cannot simply abandon their southward journey just because the Great Xia possesses weapons capable of killing celestial beings.

At this moment, Lu Chen thought to himself that Yelü Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao should be about to give birth, and perhaps the system would reward him with something that could help him deal with that mysterious weapon.

However, he couldn't place all his hopes on the system. It would be best if the system offered rewards, but what if Yelü Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao had a child and the system didn't offer any rewards? He would also have to figure out how to deal with that mysterious weapon that could threaten the Celestials.

The system is indeed powerful; everything he has now is thanks to it. However, Lu Chen is gradually realizing some problems. He can't just rely on the system all the time.

Just then, Yun Xianxian suddenly thought of something and said, "I do have a way to solve that problem."

Lu Chen asked curiously, "What method?"

"The two elders of Xuan Yue Palace are colluding with your father, so their target is most likely your master. Therefore, as long as your master shows his face, they will definitely use that weapon to deal with you."

"In that case, I will take the initiative to appear in front of them and entice them to use that weapon. Once they use that weapon, with your strength as a Celestial Protector, dealing with those minions should not be a problem."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was a little puzzled. Wasn't Yun Xianxian afraid of death?

Would she dare to go and act as bait?

Lu Chen said, "But what if you get hurt by that weapon, Master..."

Lu Chen hesitated, wanting to see what Yun Xianxian was going to say next. He felt that Yun Xianxian wouldn't take risks for him willingly, and that this woman was definitely thinking something.

Just as Lu Chen had expected, Yun Xianxian then spoke up, "A few months ago, I heard that you gave each of your wives and concubines a puppet. The puppets you made could not only move, but also talk."

Lu Chen frowned, as if he had guessed what Yun Xianxian was about to say.

Yun Xianxian continued, "This kind of puppetry technique should be a technique from the advanced cultivation world. If you can teach me the puppetry technique, once I learn it, I might be able to create a puppet that has the same aura as me."

Lu Chen chuckled inwardly; this woman was indeed after his puppetry skills.

Lu Chen said, "Master, the puppetry technique I possess is merely a puppet-manipulation technique. Even if I master it, I may not be able to achieve the effect you just mentioned."

Yun Xianxian looked at Lu Chen with suspicion. She wondered if her unfilial disciple was deliberately saying this because he didn't want to teach her puppetry.

Yun Xianxian said expressionlessly, "Whether it works or not, teach it to me first. Once I've learned it, I'll naturally know whether it's possible to do it that way or not."

"If you are unwilling to hand it over to your master, then you will have to find a way to deal with that weapon yourself."

Lu Chen thought for a moment. Anyway, he was going to become a disciple of the evil master sooner or later. This woman would eventually fall into his hands. So it wouldn't matter if he gave her the puppetry technique.

What if the puppetry technique, once in her hands, could truly achieve the same effect as Chu's? Wouldn't that mean they wouldn't be afraid of the Great Xia's mysterious weapon anymore?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said, "Alright then, this disciple will now teach the puppetry technique to Master."

The next moment, a golden ray of light emanated from Lu Chen's forehead, which entered Yun Xianxian's forehead directly. Yun Xianxian instantly absorbed all the contents of the Elementary Puppet Technique.

Yun Xianxian instantly grasped all the uses of puppetry. She then said, "It seems that puppetry can indeed create a puppet with the same aura as your master. It's just a pity that your puppetry is only at the beginner level. The puppet you create can only replicate your master's aura, but it cannot bear your master's power."

"If it's intermediate or advanced puppetry, the puppets I create might even possess the strength of a pseudo-celestial being, and then my puppets could participate in battles."

At this point, Yun Xianxian's icy gaze fixed directly into Lu Chen's eyes.

Lu Chen chuckled inwardly, wondering why he hadn't understood what Yun Xianxian meant.

Yun Xianxian thought that I was hiding my true abilities and deliberately only taught her the basic puppetry technique. She wanted to test me and then get the intermediate and advanced puppetry techniques from me as well.

Lu Chen sighed and said, "Alas, the immortal I encountered back then was too stingy; he only taught me the basic puppetry technique."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Xianxian's face showed a suspicious expression.

As Yun Xianxian gazed at him with her purple eyes, Lu Chen suddenly felt as if she could see right through his thoughts.

For a moment, the room became incredibly quiet, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy. Yun Xianxian thought for a moment, and then said, "Fine, a beginner puppet technique it is. As long as we can lure them into taking out that weapon, your Celestial Protector can instantly take it away."

What they feared most was not that the other side would use the weapon capable of killing celestial beings, but that the Great Xia royal family would secretly use it behind their backs, in a place unknown to them.

But if we can pinpoint the location of that weapon, with the abilities of a Celestial, it would be a simple matter to snatch something from a non-Celestial.

At this moment, Yun Xianxian glanced at Lu Chen's body and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's nothing, this disciple will head back now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen prepared to turn around and leave to go to Chen Wanrong's room next door to get closer to her.

As soon as he turned around, he found that his body was bound by a powerful force.

Yun Xianxian said calmly, "Since you're already here, then help your master cultivate for one night."

Lu Chen was speechless; he had already guessed that this woman wouldn't let him leave.

However, he didn't think much of it and said, "Disciple understands."

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed somewhat unwilling, Yun Xianxian made a promise: "Even in the advanced cultivation world, I am a person of high status and power in a major sect. If one day I am able to leave this world, I guarantee that I will provide you with enough cultivation resources so that you can become a true immortal."

"So don't feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

Lu Chen said, "This disciple has no such thoughts. This disciple is happy to cultivate with Master."

Yun Xianxian said, "That would be best."

"Come on up."

As soon as Yun Xianxian finished speaking, Lu Chen was able to move again. He then took off his clothes and walked towards the bed.

Once on the bed, Lu Chen sat cross-legged, facing Yun Xianxian.

The next moment, Lu Chen felt his body becoming increasingly restless, and Yun Xianxian's purple eyes becoming increasingly eerie.

After several training sessions with Yun Xianxian, Lu Chen understood what Yun Xianxian was doing.

Yun Xianxian used some kind of seductive technique to arouse his inner desires, so that the two of them could cultivate the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique without physical contact.

Lu Chen thought to himself that this seductive skill was very different from Xue Linglong's seductive skill, and he wondered if he could use mind control to counterattack at this moment.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately circulated the spiritual power in his body, and then looked into Yun Xianxian's eyes and used the Mind Control Technique. However, Lu Chen soon discovered that his Mind Control Technique had no effect on Yun Xianxian at all.

His mind control technique was like a drop of water falling into the ocean.

At this moment, Yun Xianxian had actually noticed that Lu Chen was using mental techniques on her, but she didn't say anything and acted as if it didn't exist at all.

She thought to herself that her disciple was really naive. Didn't he know that he had fallen from a very high realm? Although she was only at the Celestial Realm now, her actual realm was several levels higher than that. Her spiritual power was still at the original level. Not to mention Lu Chen, even if a Celestial Realm person used a spiritual attack on her, she would be fine.

Although she didn't say anything or stop Lu Chen, she had some feelings inside.

This guy is indeed a wicked disciple who wants to betray his master and ancestors. He actually used mental techniques on her. He probably wants to control her body and then do beastly things to her.

Thinking of the things she had spied on Lu Chen and Chen Wanrong doing before, a blush appeared on Yun Xianxian's cold face.

Yun Xianxian quickly calmed her agitated heart.

Yun Xianxian complained inwardly, "This Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique is good in every way, but this negative effect is too much of a hindrance to cultivation. If it weren't for this negative effect, I probably would have recovered my strength long ago with the help of Lu Chen."

Under Yun Xianxian's mental guidance, Lu Chen soon felt as if he and Yun Xianxian had become one. It must be said that although they did not have physical contact or do anything in particular, Yun Xianxian's mental magic was able to create a very realistic illusion.

Lu Chen really felt like he was doing *that* kind of thing to Yun Xianxian. He thought to himself, "This woman still has some conscience. The first time she cultivated with him, she didn't even want to create an illusion."

Now that an illusion has been created, at least it will make him feel that time is passing more slowly.

at the same time.

Anping City.

In a room filled with fragrant aroma, a woman dressed in a black silk dress reclines on a chaise lounge. Her dress is parted, revealing her long, fair, and smooth legs.

Xue Linglong was clutching a quilt, her eyes somewhat blurry, and she murmured, "Your Highness..."

"My husband..."

"Your Highness, this concubine..."

Just then, an untimely voice rang out from outside the room.

"Holy Maiden, the Sixth Elder has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong instantly snapped back to reality. Her brows furrowed, and she felt extremely displeased.

However, she still got out of bed, tidied herself up briefly, and then went to the living room.

As soon as Xue Linglong arrived at the entrance of the hall, she saw an old woman with a hunched back and wrinkled skin waiting for her in the middle of the hall.

Xue Linglong stepped into the hall at this moment, "Elder Cao, you've come all the way to the north to see me, is there something important you need?"

This old woman was named Cao Xianya. She was one of the core figures of the Taiyin Divine Sect. Her strength had reached the pseudo-celestial realm, and she rarely left the Taiyin Divine Sect's headquarters.

Cao Xianya then said, "Holy Maiden, I heard Elder Yu say that you believe the Northern King is the chosen one?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong was taken aback.

She instantly understood why Cao Xianya, a core figure of the Taiyin Cult, had come to the Northern Kingdom; it was probably for that scoundrel.

This is troublesome...

Xue Linglong then said, "I only had a suspicion, but seeing his debauchery, I denied my guess."

"Since he is the chosen one, he couldn't possibly be so lecherous as to keep so many women."

"If Elder Cao went there specifically for him, then Elder Cao's trip will have been in vain."

Cao Xianya smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"Holy Maiden, your thinking is too narrow. Who told you that the chosen one must be a person of high moral character? And how do you know that everything the Northern King did wasn't just an act?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong frowned slightly.

She didn't believe Lu Chen was faking it; that guy was a lecherous scoundrel, a dog in the physical sense, who just liked to act like a dog...

Even though she had some feelings for Lu Chen, she didn't want the Taiyin Divine Sect to attack him. In the months she had been away from Yancheng, she gradually realized that she had indeed broken free from the shackles of the Taiyin Divine Sect. Even if she betrayed the Taiyin Divine Sect, she wouldn't end up as a pool of blood.

Moreover, she also discovered that she could no longer leave that scoundrel. When she first left him, she didn't feel any discomfort.

As time went by, her longing for that scoundrel grew stronger every day. She now wished she could return to his side as soon as possible and become his slave.

Xue Linglong was also aware that she might have fallen for some of Lu Chen's tricks, which made her unable to leave him. But even though she knew it in her heart, she still couldn't stop herself from missing that bastard.

As a demonic woman from a demonic sect, Xue Linglong was quite frustrated that she stumbled in her own familiar territory.

She now felt that, compared to herself, that scoundrel was more like a member of a demonic cult. (End of Chapter)
