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

Seeing that Lu Chen had led them to the study, Mu Yunxi and Liu Qingqiu were both puzzled. What else did this guy want to do?

After entering the study, Lu Chen sat down in the chair behind the desk and began to look at the two stunning beauties.

Liu Qingqiu asked impatiently, "Didn't you say you'd give us freedom? Why did you bring us here?"

Lu Chen replied, "Of course, I have something important to tell you."

Mu Yunxi asked curiously, "What important thing is it?"

Lu Chen countered, "Have you two fairies ever heard of monsters like the Heavenly Demon?"

Upon hearing this question, the two women were taken aback.

Heavenly Demon?

That is the most terrifying existence in the cultivation world. The Heavenly Demon feeds on cultivators and spreads fear everywhere, bringing all kinds of disasters to the cultivation world.

After regaining his senses, Liu Qingqiu said, "The Heavenly Demon is the natural enemy of all cultivators, so we naturally know that."

Lu Chen then said, "Good to know."

"According to my intelligence, the plague in the Great Qian Dynasty is not an ordinary plague, but was caused by a celestial demon."

Upon hearing this, the two women were stunned once again.

How is that possible?

This is just a low-level world. How could a low-level world attract a celestial demon?

Compared to lower worlds, celestial demons prefer places with abundant spiritual energy, so they have no reason to come to lower worlds.

Seeing that Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi didn't seem to believe him, Lu Chen continued, "Haven't you considered why the plague in Daqian keeps recurring and has lasted for over a year without stopping? The Daqian Dynasty has made all sorts of efforts, yet the plague continues to spread?"

Liu Qingqiu said coldly, "It's just that someone is spreading rumors behind the scenes. Great Xia is still the most suspicious."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I am not that inhumane. For me, the human population is the most important resource in this world. I would never intentionally spread a plague."

"In fact, the reason why the plague continues to spread is because there is a demon behind it all. It may need to feed on the fear and despair of the people of Daqian."

"I don't know much about the Heavenly Demons, but I believe you should know why they would actively spread the plague."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, both Mu Yunxi and Liu Qingqiu pondered for a moment.

They all felt that Lu Chen's guess was correct. If there really was a demon behind the scenes, the demon's purpose might indeed be to absorb the negative energy generated by humans due to fear and despair.

In the cultivation world, what the Heavenly Demons like most is to create desperate situations for cultivators, then let them feel fear and despair, and ultimately die in fear and despair.

After a while, Mu Yunxi asked, "How did you know that there is a Heavenly Demon in the Great Qian Dynasty?"

Lu Chen replied, "I cannot tell you that for now. All you need is for the Great Qian to have a Heavenly Demon."

At this moment, Liu Qingqiu said coldly from the side, "If you don't tell us how you know about the Heavenly Demon, how are we supposed to know if you're lying?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I have no need to joke about this. The reason I told you about this is to ask you how to locate the Heavenly Demon. I will deal with the Heavenly Demon myself, and you won't need to help me."

This……

After hearing what Lu Chen said, the two women basically believed what he said. If Lu Chen intended to solve the problem himself, there was indeed no need for him to lie to them. So, there really was a Heavenly Demon in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Mu Yunxi said, "If the plague in Daqian was really caused by the Heavenly Demon, you don't need to go looking for it. When it sees that you have dispelled the plague, it will come to you on its own."

The Heavenly Demon spreads plague with the ultimate goal of instilling fear and despair. Now that someone has dispelled its plague, it will naturally come to cause trouble for that person.

Lu Chen thought to himself, "So it's that easy to find the Heavenly Demon. All I need to do now is keep using the Demon-Exorcising Banner to drive away the plague in all parts of the Great Qian Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Fairy Yunxi."

Lu Chen then continued, "I have already arranged accommodations for the two fairies. Please go there now."

At this point, Lu Chen said to the people outside the study, "Someone, take the two ladies away to rest."

Hearing Lu Chen actually call them both "Madam," the two women snorted inwardly, thinking that they would come after this lecherous man once their strength was restored.

After Mu Yunxi and Liu Qingqiu left, Lu Chen looked at his body and felt something was wrong. He had already destroyed the Great Qian Dynasty, and Liu Qingqiu, the actual controller of the Great Qian Dynasty, was already in his hands. Why hadn't he broken through to become a Celestial Being?

What's going on?

At this moment, a system notification sound rang out.

[The host has neither obtained the letter of surrender from the Great Qian nor completely conquered it, so this world cannot be considered unified for the time being.]

Lu Chen realized that he needed to hurry up and send troops to occupy every place in the Great Qian Dynasty, hoping to break through to the Celestial Realm before the Heavenly Demon came to cause him trouble.

evening.

Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi sat in the room arranged by Lu Chen, neither of them able to sleep.

They looked around at the situation outside their house. There were only a few female guards watching over them, and no powerful figures. If they wanted to escape now, they would most likely be able to get away.

However, they didn't know that they didn't intend to run away. They had finally had a chance to get close to Lu Chen, and if they ran away like this, it would be even more difficult for them to gain Lu Chen's trust in the future.

However, the two women then thought of another problem: if the Heavenly Demon that Lu Chen mentioned really existed, what if Lu Chen failed to eliminate the Heavenly Demon, and the two of them instead eliminated Lu Chen? If the Heavenly Demon came looking for them, how would they fight against it?

For cultivators, celestial demons are their natural enemies. Even a weak celestial demon can cause great trouble for cultivators.

With this in mind, the two women finally decided to leave Lu Chen alone for the time being, and wait until Lu Chen dealt with that Heavenly Demon.

Alternatively, Lu Chen could distract the demon. With Lu Chen around, the demon shouldn't notice them.

at the same time.

In a certain sea area in the south.

Deep in the ocean, there was a black mass. Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared in the black mass.

The next moment, all the creatures in the surrounding sea died; the animals turned into skeletons, and all the plants withered.

The black substance spread rapidly, turning the surrounding sea black as well.

At this very moment, a large ship is sailing calmly across the sea.

Upon seeing the spreading black substance, a man's voice echoed from the ship's attic, "Lord Heavenly Demon, we know who ruined your plans!" (End of Chapter)
