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

After passing on the Rejuvenation Technique to his wives and concubines, Lu Chen no longer worried that they would experience difficult childbirth again.

Even when he was not present, his other wives and concubines could work together to help his women give birth.

Once you've mastered the basics of the "Rejuvenating Hands" technique, assisting pregnant women with childbirth shouldn't be a major problem.

Now that things in Yancheng have been mostly arranged, it's time for him to set off on his campaign.

Six days later.

Lu Chen led an army of 500,000 southwards, heading straight for the Great Qian Dynasty.

In an instant, the entire Great Xia Dynasty was abuzz with excitement, while Yancheng became rather dull.

Wu Mansion.

Wu Ming's courtyard.

Wu Ming stood by the lotus pond, looking at the newspaper in his hand. His face, though fierce, couldn't hide his excitement. He laughed loudly and said, "They're gone! They're gone! They're finally gone! Our chance has come!"

"I've finally been able to ascend to that throne! Hahahaha!"

"When Lu Chen returns and sees Yancheng occupied and his wives, concubines, and children imprisoned, I wonder what kind of expression he'll have!"

Just then, a servant beside Wu Ming said, "Your Highness, I've heard that Emperor Xia's concubines are all very beautiful. If we take over the palace, we can have them serve you. What do you think?"

Upon hearing the servant's words, Wu Ming continued to laugh heartily, "Everyone says that Lu Chen is a lecherous man, and every woman in his harem is a beauty. If I conquer the palace, I will definitely enjoy myself and see what makes those women so special."

At this moment, Wu Ming had already begun to fantasize about his decadent life after conquering the palace.

He wanted to repay all the humiliation Lu Chen had caused him through Lu Chen's women.

At this moment.

In the old city of Yancheng, at a certain restaurant.

The restaurant was still packed with people, but the doors were tightly closed, and there were no other customers except for representatives from various sects.

At this moment, Yuan Tian, ​​who was on the second floor, stood up, glanced at the people on the second floor, then looked down at the people on the first floor, and said, "The tyrant has gone to war, our opportunity will come soon!"

Upon hearing this, all the martial artists in the restaurant became excited. In the past, most disciples of sects were restricted by sect rules, and they rarely had the opportunity to kill or do bad things.

But this time is different. This time, no major sects or forces have restricted their disciples. As long as they rush into Yan City, they can burn, kill, loot, and commit all sorts of evil deeds.

This was their first time having such an opportunity, and they were extremely excited and thrilled.

Some members of certain sects, like Wu Ming, have even set their sights on Lu Chen's wives and concubines.

At this moment, Si Yuhua, the sect leader of Yunlang Sect, asked, "Sect Leader Yuan, when do you plan to make your move?"

Yuan Tian replied, "Five days later."

"Given the marching speed of the Great Xia, they won't be able to return in time in five days."

"Once we kill the celestial being guarding Yan City, the tyrant will have no chance of winning."

Upon hearing Yuan Tian's words, Zou Yangping, the sect leader of the Golden Feather Sect, sneered and said, "This tyrant really underestimates us. He actually thinks we'll obediently listen and disband the sect on his own."

Si Yuhua said, "If Heaven wants someone to perish, it first makes them arrogant. It's only natural that such a tyrant would be destroyed."

"In that case, let's wait a little longer."

At this moment, Zou Yangping thought of something and asked, "By the way, how is things going with Emperor Yue?"

Yuan Tian said, "Empress Yue said that as soon as we launch an attack on the city, she will immediately take control of the palace and send people to open the city gates for us, helping us to occupy the entire Yan City."

"As for the celestial being guarding Yancheng, she can also lend a hand if we cannot deal with her."

Zou Yangping said, "That would be best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Yangping picked up his wine bowl, raised it, and said, "Then let's wish each other smooth sailing and immediate success!"

After Zou Yangping picked up his bowl, everyone in the restaurant picked up their bowls, and then they all drank the wine in their bowls together.

Seeing this, Yuan Tian's smile grew wider and wider, as if he was thinking about something happy.

Time flew by, and news of Lu Chen's southern expedition soon reached the Great Qian Dynasty.

Upon hearing that the tyrant Emperor Xia was personally leading troops to attack the Great Qian Dynasty, some prefects in the Great Qian Dynasty quickly prepared their surrender documents.

The Great Qian Dynasty is now ravaged by plague, the people are suffering, and the army has little fighting power. They have no way to resist the elite troops of the Great Xia Dynasty. Rather than die, they might as well surrender.

Surrender might save their lives. To rule such a vast empire, the Xia Emperor needed countless talented individuals. In the eyes of the officials of the Great Qian Dynasty, they still had a chance to remain in office.

It's just a matter of changing clothes.

at the same time.

The Great Qian Dynasty, the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, in the Imperial Garden, Liu Qingqiu was dressed in a light green palace dress. The green dress hugged her voluptuous figure, and her skin seemed to be faintly visible underneath. Her hair was styled in a bun and adorned with golden hair ornaments. She looked mature, dignified, and elegant.

Liu Qingqiu was talking to Mu Yunxi when a soldier suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Garden. "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Great Xia has sent troops!"

The soldier knelt on the ground and held up the intelligence report in his hand.

Liu Qingqiu raised her hand and clenched it, and the intelligence report in the soldier's hand flew into Liu Qingqiu's hand. Liu Qingqiu immediately opened the intelligence report and glanced at it. After seeing the contents of the intelligence report, Liu Qingqiu's face instantly became even colder.

"Hmph, the Xia Emperor is really confident, thinking he can destroy the Great Qian with an army of 500,000."

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi said from the side, "Don't look down on him. He not only destroyed Da Wu, but also Da Yue. He's no ordinary person."

Liu Qingqiu said calmly, "If he dares to come, I will make sure he never leaves."

At this point, Liu Qingqiu asked, "You also have a spiritual weapon. If he makes a move, you should hold him off for me, and I will find the right opportunity to eliminate him."

Hearing Liu Qingqiu's words, Mu Yunxi said with a smile, "Okay, I just hope you won't be so scared by the Xia Emperor that you hide away."

How could Mu Yunxi not know Liu Qingqiu's little scheme? Liu Qingqiu was planning to make her and Lu Chen fight to the death, so that they would both be injured and then Liu Qingqiu would reap the benefits.

However, Mu Yunxi did not choose to expose Liu Qingqiu's little scheme. If things went wrong, she would flee the scene immediately, leaving Liu Qingqiu and Lu Chen behind.

For a powerful cultivator at the Creation Realm, escaping would be no problem at all.

She couldn't possibly risk her life against Lu Chen for Liu Qingqiu's sake. Lu Chen possessed a weapon capable of killing Celestials. If she were hit by that weapon even once, she would be severely injured, if not killed.

Liu Qingqiu then said, "I must remind you that once Lu Chen is destroyed, our alliance will be immediately null and void."

Upon hearing Liu Qingqiu's reminder, Mu Yunxi chuckled and then asked, "The Empress wouldn't be planning to attack me on the battlefield, would she?"

Liu Qingqiu said expressionlessly, "I wouldn't stoop to such a despicable level." (End of Chapter)
