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

Chapter 721 Ji Qiuyu

The news that half of the forces in Black Dragon County had been wiped out quickly spread throughout the entire county. When they heard that Li Xinghuai and those forces that had attempted to rebel had been eliminated by the Xia Emperor, the remaining cultivators from those sects felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, they did not believe the rumors and actually believed that the Xia Emperor was seriously injured. They were even more fortunate that they did not accept Li Xinghuai's invitation to participate in the rebellion.

The cultivators now suspect that Emperor Xia deliberately went into seclusion and then had the news of his injury released, with the aim of finding out and eliminating all those unruly forces.

After dealing with the rebellious forces, the remaining forces became extremely obedient, and Lu Chen's prestige reached a new height once again. More and more cultivators chose to join the army of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After everything settled down, Lu Chen returned to the place where the Tianchen World and the Ziyang World collided. Now that he had cultivated the Saint-level Puppet Technique to the second level, he could control the puppets to go to farther places, and the puppets' range of movement should no longer be restricted.

Upon arriving at the shattered spatial rift, Lu Chen immediately sent the puppet to the Purple Sun World. After entering the Purple Sun World, the puppet reappeared in the same place as before.

Lu Chen then used the puppet to probe the surroundings. This time, the puppet's detection ability was greatly improved. Lu Chen instantly detected the presence of demonic energy through the puppet, and the concentration of demonic energy was also very high.

There's a high probability that a celestial demon is indeed sealed beneath that mountain in the Ziyang world.

Of course, all of this is speculation at the moment. Only when his true form enters that world can we determine whether he is a true Heavenly Demon or not. It is also possible that a great demon who has been assimilated by the Heavenly Demon is sealed inside.

However, whether it's a Heavenly Demon or a Demonic Cultivator, this is beneficial to the Tianchen World. Because of the existence of that place, people from the Ziyang World dare not easily enter that mountain. As a result, people from the Ziyang World have no way to come to this world through the crack.

Of course, the thing sealed under the mountain may release some demonic energy into the Tianchen World from time to time, turning some cultivators in the Tianchen World into demonic cultivators. This is something that needs to be paid close attention to.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen controlled the puppet to fly towards the other side of the mountain.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the mountains, there lies a magnificent palace.

Deep within the palace, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared from a cloud of black mist.

Sensing something flying overhead, the Heavenly Demon burst into laughter, "A thousand years! Finally, food has been delivered to my door. I can finally have a good meal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Demon released his demonic energy, intending to pull down the thing flying above the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land. However, when his demonic energy came into contact with the puppet in the sky, it dissipated on its own, and he was unable to grab it at all.

The Heavenly Demon was stunned.

What's going on?

Why can't we catch it?

Through its observation, it could be seen that the one in the sky was a cultivator. Logically speaking, once a cultivator touched its demonic energy, he would be corroded by the demonic energy, and the cultivator's body would fall down without the cultivator exerting any effort.

As a result, the cultivator did not fall down; instead, he continued to fly towards the outer edge of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land as if nothing had happened.

That won't do. At that human cultivator's flying speed, it probably won't be long before he's able to fly out of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Zone.

The Heavenly Demon released its demonic energy once more, this time using even more, in an attempt to bring Lu Chen's puppet down from the sky.

However, the result was the same this time; it was still useless, and the "human cultivator" continued to fly away into the distance.

At this moment, Lu Chen in the Tianchen World also sensed the approach of a large amount of demonic energy through the puppet. Lu Chen then glanced at the mountain below the puppet through the puppet's vision.

At this moment, a lot of black mist rose from the forest in the mountains. It was obviously the power of the Heavenly Demon. The black mist condensed into human hands, trying to pull the puppet down.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that the thing sealed under the mountain thought that the one flying in the sky was a cultivator, so it wanted to pull him down.

Unfortunately, the puppet also inherited half of the power of the Demon Burial Technique. Even without the Demon Exorcism Banner, the demonic energy could not get close to his puppet by relying solely on the Demon Burial Technique.

Lu Chen ignored the giant hands formed by demonic energy and continued flying towards the outside of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land.

Seeing that the cultivators in the sky were completely unharmed, the Heavenly Demon became enraged.

Why?!

"Why can't my demonic energy affect that human cultivator?!"

After the demon went berserk, the entire mountain began to tremble, and humans outside the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land were also affected.

Soon, Lu Chen flew out of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land. Outside the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land was a human city. This human city was not large, but the city wall was built along the mountain, just like the Great Wall built on Earth.

Clearly, the people of the Purple Sun World knew that something related to demons existed within the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land, so they built this defensive wall.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the cultivators of this world, Lu Chen descended from the sky to the ground and then walked towards the city.

As soon as Lu Chen arrived at the city gate, a woman suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

The woman wore a pink cloud-like dress, her figure graceful, like a delicate flower swaying gently in the breeze.

The woman's face was like the moon, and her eyes exuded a cool and aloof air, like the ice and snow on a high mountain, pure and inviolable.

Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, glossy black, each strand seemingly brimming with vitality.

Her eyes were deep and bright, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, sparkling with wisdom.

Her lips were rosy red, slightly upturned, and full of allure.

Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and delicate, as if it were the most perfect masterpiece of nature.

At this moment, "Puppet Lu Chen" glanced at the spirit sword in the woman's hand.

Clearly, this woman is a nun.

Lu Chen then used the system to identify the woman's identity.

Name: Ji Qiuyu

[Identity: City Lord of Black Moon City, Great Chu Dynasty, Ziyang World; 900 years old this year; strength at the Creation Realm. She is very curious about your identity and wants to know why you dare to come to Black Moon City at this time.]

Ji Qiuyu asked expressionlessly, "Who are you?"

Lu Chen answered calmly, "Men."

Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu glanced at Lu Chen speechlessly. Wasn't that obvious?

Lu Chen was still unfamiliar with the situation in this world and was afraid of exposing his identity, so he said, "I sensed that the demonic energy deep in the mountains was getting stronger and stronger, so I came to see how things were here."

"If the situation here is not optimistic, I will have to consider whether I should leave the Great Chu Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qiuyu realized that they had come to inquire about the situation of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land.

Ji Qiuyu then sneered and said, "Another coward who's afraid of death."
