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

Wu Ming was overjoyed; he had never imagined that he would one day receive the support of a celestial being.

With the support of the celestial beings, it became even easier for him to ascend to that position.

Upon hearing Wu Ming's words, Yuan Tian said, "Your Highness, the disciples of Tianwu Sect have already arrived near Yan City. As soon as the Tyrant leaves Yan City, I will immediately gather my disciples to attack Yan City. At that time, Yan City will surely become ours."

Wu Ming asked, "Sect Leader Yuan, I'm curious, how many sects have you allied with?"

Yuan Tian replied, "Fifteen sects."

Wu Ming thought for a moment and continued, "Sect Leader Yuan, these sects and forces must also have their own ideas. They may not be willing to choose me as the new emperor."

Yuan Tian said with a smile, "Your Highness, you don't need to worry about that. We've already made an agreement that these sects and forces will support the Tianwu Sect."

Hearing Yuan Tian's answer, Wu Ming was relieved. His biggest worry was that if the ideal monarch of those sects and forces was someone else, such as the royal family of Dayue or someone from another force, wouldn't he be very likely to be eliminated in the end?

Wu Ming then said, "Sect Leader Yuan, I promise you that if we truly destroy the Tyrannical Xia, I will ascend the throne and become emperor. From then on, I will rule the world together with your Tianwu Sect!"

Yuan Tian smiled and said, "Your Highness, what are you saying? Our sect has little interest in worldly affairs. The disciples of our Tianwu Sect only wish to attain immortality."

"If the tyrant hadn't gone too far and wanted to disband all the sects in the world, we probably wouldn't have been born."

"Your Highness, please rest assured, once we have eliminated the tyrant and destroyed the Great Xia, our Heavenly Martial Sect will return to where we belong."

Hearing Yuan Tian's guarantee, Wu Ming was overjoyed. If that were true, all the better.

At this moment, Wu Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. He thought to himself, "Lu Chen brought this upon himself; he deserves to die."

Of all people to mess with, they dare to declare war on all the sects in the world; they're truly courting death.

Now karma has come knocking.

He wanted to see how long Lu Chen could live.

Afterwards, Yuan Tian and Wu Ming discussed their plan: when to take action and how to control Yancheng. They already had a complete plan for all of this.

Now all that's left is for Lu Chen to leave Yancheng.

……

in the afternoon.

The scorching sun beat down on the earth. Lu Chen stood at the door of the Imperial Study, his hands behind his back, seemingly deep in thought.

At this moment, the icy beauty guard beside him spoke up, "Your Majesty, it's quite sunny outside. Shall I have someone prepare a parasol for you?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "No need, I just wanted to soak up some sun."

"I've been staying in my room every day lately, I feel like I'm going to get moldy."

Seeing Lu Chen say this, Bai Qingqing didn't say anything more.

After a while, a female guard came to Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, Dean Xia requests an audience."

Now that the Luoyang Sword Sect and the Taichu Holy Temple have been disbanded, the Great Xia has established two martial arts academies, and Xia Tianyuan is the dean of one of them.

Lu Chen said, "Let him come over."

Soon, Xia Tianyuan arrived before Lu Chen, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen hummed in agreement and said, "No need for formalities."

"Dean Xia, how's the matter going?"

Xia Tianyuan immediately replied, "The Yin-Yang Mirror Your Majesty gave me is extremely useful. No matter which sect or force it was, none of them could discern my identity."

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "The gift I've prepared for them will surely be a big surprise."

Lu Chen continued, "How many Celestial Realm experts are there in those sects?"

Xia Tianyuan replied, "Besides this humble servant, there are only two Celestial Realm experts."

Lu Chen thought to himself that if there were only two Celestial Realm experts, once Yun Xianxian arrived, they would probably be able to eliminate those sect forces without even needing to use the great formation of Yan City.

It's unclear whether Yun Xianxian will come. Anyway, he has already sent a letter to Xuan Yue Palace, and Yun Xianxian has probably seen it. Now it depends on Yun Xianxian's attitude.

To be honest, Lu Chen felt that Yun Xianxian was unlikely to come, because Xuan Yue Palace was also a sect, and if Lu Chen wanted to disband all the sects in the world, wouldn't that mean that Lu Chen would also disband Xuan Yue Palace?

As the founder of Xuan Yue Palace, how could Yun Xianxian allow Lu Chen to disband it? In fact, Lu Chen had no intention of touching Xuan Yue Palace. If he did, he would definitely offend Yun Xianxian, and Lu Chen did not want to offend his master.

Just as Lu Chen was wondering if Yun Xianxian would come, a female guard came up to him and said, "Your Majesty, Consort Chen and Lady Yun have arrived in Yancheng."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback, then a slight smile appeared on his lips. It seemed that what Chen Wanrong had said last time was true. Chen Wanrong had said that Xuan Yue Palace would fully support him, which must be Yun Xianxian's attitude.

Lu Chen then said to Xia Tianyuan, "Continue to win over those sects and forces, and try your best not to let them notice anything amiss."

Xia Tianyuan immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will certainly act with caution."

"Okay, nothing else, you can go ahead and get busy," Lu Chen said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave." With that, Xia Tianyuan turned and left.

After Xia Tianyuan left, Lu Chen headed straight for Yunrong Palace, intending to wait for Yun Xianxian and Chen Wanrong to arrive.

However, as soon as Lu Chen arrived at Yunrong Palace, he noticed that the maids were busy going back and forth, and he could also vaguely hear several women's voices talking.

"That unfilial disciple is getting better and better at bossing people around!"

"You want to disband all the sects in the world? You dare to invite me here? Aren't you afraid I'll pull you off the throne first?"

The cold voice, accompanied by a chilling aura, was clearly Yun Xianxian's voice. Lu Chen then walked into the courtyard. "Master, I believe you would never do such a thing."

Yun Xianxian was, after all, a celestial being. How could she not sense that Lu Chen had arrived at the courtyard gate? Clearly, what Yun Xianxian said just now was meant for Lu Chen to hear.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, the girl in the courtyard turned to look at the courtyard gate. Yun Xianxian coldly said, "Oh, are you so sure that your master won't pull you down from the throne?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "This disciple has no intention of disbanding the Xuan Yue Palace, so Master has no reason to do so."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Yun Xianxian asked expressionlessly, "You intend to disband all the sects in the world, but not the Xuan Yue Palace. How will those disbanded sects view you then?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "Xuan Yue Palace has been on my side from the very beginning. Their stance is clear. Even if I don't disband Xuan Yue Palace, no one will say anything."

"Besides, I am the Holy Son of Xuan Yue Palace, and the Palace Mistress of Xuan Yue Palace is also my Imperial Concubine. With these two identities, who dares to say anything?" (End of Chapter)
