Chapter 722 I hope you won't regret it tonight

The Demon Sealing Forbidden Land is becoming increasingly unstable, and the Great Chu Dynasty is severely divided, with each faction unwilling to send its own people to guard Black Moon City.

As the city lord of Black Moon City, Ji Qiuyu felt immense pressure.

If the demonic tide continues to expand, there may be more and more demonic cultivators in the future, and the entire Great Chu will become a granary for the Heavenly Demons.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Ji Qiuyu immediately assumed that Lu Chen was a coward who feared death.

At first, she thought this man knew there would be another demonic tide tonight, so he came to help Black Moon City resist it. She was even a little happy about it. But now she has no good feelings towards this man at all.

Ji Qiuyu then turned around and walked towards the city gate, saying as she went, "There will be a demonic tide tonight. If you're so afraid of death, you'd better get lost."

Upon hearing the words "Demonic Tide," Lu Chen asked curiously, "What is the Demonic Tide?"

This……

Lu Chen's question stunned Ji Qiuyu. She turned to look at Lu Chen, her face full of disbelief. How could there be someone in this era who didn't know what the Demon Tide was?

Ji Qiuyu then asked, "You don't even know about the Demon Tide?"

In the world of Ziyang, I doubt anyone is unaware of what the Demon Tide is.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I spend most of my time in seclusion, and decades ago I suffered a cultivation mishap that damaged my soul and caused me to lose many memories, so I've forgotten a lot of things."

Ji Qiuyu didn't doubt Lu Chen's words too much. It's true that some cultivators have suffered from qi deviation during cultivation, resulting in memory loss.

Ji Qiuyu said, "Every so often, the demons in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land will leave the Forbidden Land and invade human cities. This is the Demon Tide."

After explaining the demonic tide, Ji Qiuyu turned around and continued walking towards the city gate.

Lu Chen quickly followed, then asked, "Are there still demons inside the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land?"

Lu Chen had just come out of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land and had not sensed the presence of any demons, so he was curious about where those demons came from.

Ji Qiuyu said somewhat impatiently, "If there are no demons in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land, then where are there demons?"

Lu Chen continued, "So, how strong are these demons?"

Ji Qiuyu said with displeasure, "If you want to know how strong those demons are, stay here tonight and see for yourself."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, I'll stay and keep an eye on things tonight."

When Lu Chen said he wanted to stay, Ji Qiuyu was stunned again. She turned her head and looked at Lu Chen again. Through her perception, the man in front of her had at least the strength of the Creation Realm. If this man could stay and help her resist the demonic tide, then she should be much more relaxed tonight.

Ji Qiuyu then asked, "Are you sure you want to stay? The demonic energy in the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land has surged again today, and tonight's demonic tide will probably be even larger than usual."

Lu Chen said, "Okay, let's stay and see how things go."

Ji Qiuyu turned around again and walked into the city, saying as she went, "I hope you won't regret it tonight."

Anyway, she had already warned the man that if he insisted on staying, it was none of her business if anything happened to him.

The puppet Lu Chen followed Ji Qiuyu into Black Moon City.

Black Moon City was incredibly desolate. There were hardly any people on the streets, and most of them were cultivators, but their strength was only around the Celestial Realm.

As a cultivation world, Ziyang World actually has a cultivator at the Creation Realm as its city lord, which suggests that the cultivators in this world are indeed not very strong.

Upon entering the city, a group of soldiers from the Great Chu Dynasty approached Ji Qiuyu.

"Lord City Lord, everything is ready."

Ji Qiuyu nodded and said, "Immediately report the news of the surge in demonic energy in the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to send more people here."

"Yes, Lord City Lord."

After the group of soldiers left, Ji Qiuyu continued walking towards the inner city, and soon she realized that something was wrong.

It seemed the man followed her wherever she went. She then turned to look at Lu Chen, "Why are you following me?"

Lu Chen said, "I'm not familiar with Black Moon City. If I don't follow you, who else should I follow?"

???

Ji Qiuyu was speechless. Where did this man come from? Why did he always give off the feeling that he was mentally unstable?

She's nobody to him, so why should he follow her?

Besides, whether he's familiar with Black Moon City or not has nothing to do with her.

She was the city lord of Black Moon City, and she didn't have that much time to take this guy around to get familiar with things.

At this moment, Ji Qiuyu suddenly realized that this guy had said he had suffered a qi deviation during cultivation and lost some memories.

Thinking about it this way, he must have suffered damage to his soul, which is why he behaved differently from ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Ji Qiuyu became more lenient with Lu Chen. She then said, "I am the city lord of Black Moon City. I don't have time to take you around Black Moon City. If you are not familiar with Black Moon City, find someone from Black Moon City to show you the way."

Lu Chen said, "I won't wander around. Wherever you go, I'll go."

Ji Qiuyu frowned slightly. Why did she suddenly feel that this man had ulterior motives towards her? Was he trying to take advantage of her?

Just as Ji Qiuyu was about to warn Lu Chen, Lu Chen spoke first, saying, "I've noticed that the cultivators in Black Moon City don't seem to be very strong. I have the strength of the third level of the Creation Realm, which should be of great help to you."

Ji Qiuyu thought for a moment, then said, "If you want to come along, then come along."

Ji Qiuyu was too lazy to waste any more words with Lu Chen, so she went straight back to the city lord's mansion.

When the servants of the city lord's mansion saw their city lord return with a man, they were all stunned.

Everyone in Black Moon City knows that their city lord is a woman who is not interested in men, but now she has actually returned with a man.

After bringing Lu Chen back to the City Lord's Mansion, Ji Qiuyu said to the steward, "Prepare a room for him and have the kitchen prepare some food for him."

Ji Qiuyu thought for a moment. Since this man was planning to help her tonight, it wouldn't hurt to entertain him.

The Great Chu Dynasty may not send anyone tonight, and having one more person to help them will make it easier for them to resist the demonic tide.

Then, led by the steward of the city lord's mansion, the puppet Lu Chen arrived at a bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, Lu Chen's main body stopped controlling the puppet.

Having been following behind Ji Qiuyu and watching her hips sway back and forth, Lu Chen's physical body had even started to feel something.

Lu Chen planned to leave the crack in the boundary wall and return to Yancheng to see if he could still control the puppet.

If he could return to Yancheng and still control the puppets, he could cultivate with his wives and concubines while exploring the Ziyang World with the puppets.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen put away the Flying Rainbow Immortal Boat, and then, with a teleportation, instantly returned to the Yancheng Imperial Palace and arrived at Chu Qingli's room.

Chu Qingli was meditating on the soft couch when she suddenly leaned towards the edge of the bed. Before she could react, Lu Chen kissed her on the lips.

"Mmm..."

Chu Qingli opened her eyes and saw that it was Lu Chen. She immediately rolled her eyes at him.

The next moment, she heard a tearing sound, and then Lu Chen's body sank down.
