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

Chapter 742 Nangong Qingya

Upon hearing her subordinate's reply, Nangong Qingya, the head of the Blood Rainbow Workshop, was slightly taken aback. The demonic tide had actually been blocked by a rogue cultivator.

She didn't want the demonic tide to spread, but she had recently heard that, according to the calculations of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the demonic tide was likely to erupt on a large scale in the near future, and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion hoped that all forces could focus on the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land.

If the demonic tide spreads, this world will surely be plunged into chaos and devastation.

Although Blood Rainbow Workshop wasn't exactly a righteous force, it wouldn't benefit them if the demonic tide really spread. So, Nangong Qingya sent her subordinates to investigate the situation in Black Moon City to see if there was anything unusual about the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land.

Nangong Qingya continued, "A rogue cultivator? What realm is that rogue cultivator at?"

The old man replied, "Your Excellency, that rogue cultivator only possesses the cultivation level of the Creation Realm."

Nangong Qingya could hardly believe that a Creation Realm cultivator could stop a large-scale outbreak of demonic tide.

Nangong Qingya continued, "If a cultivator at the Creation Realm can withstand a demonic tide, then his presence or absence makes no difference."

If even a cultivator at the Creation Realm can stop the demonic tide, then it proves that this demonic tide is not that big at all. It doesn't require a cultivator at the Creation Realm; the soldiers of Black Moon City with their black gold weapons are enough to stop this demonic tide.

The old man continued, "Your Excellency misunderstands. The scale of the previous demonic tide was indeed the largest in a thousand years. According to my investigation, this rogue cultivator seems to have practiced some kind of demon-exorcising sword technique. His sword technique has a strong repulsion against demonic energy and is very effective in suppressing it. Because of his existence, the demons in the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land dare not attack Black Moon City and can only continue to stay in the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land."

"If it weren't for this rogue cultivator, the entire Black Moon City would probably have fallen, and even a large part of the Great Chu Dynasty's territory would have been occupied by demons."

This……

A hint of doubt flashed in Nangong Qingya's beautiful eyes.

A sword technique that can suppress demonic energy?

She had never heard of such swordsmanship before.

Nangong Qingya said, "If such a sword technique exists here, then we must obtain it."

Upon hearing Nangong Qingya's words, the old man fell silent. Seeing that he remained silent, Nangong Qingya asked coldly, "What is it?"

The old man quickly said, "A few days ago, Blood Rainbow Workshop received a job that the head of the Great Chu Dynasty accepted without a second thought. As it turned out, the person they assassinated was that rogue cultivator."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a thick burst of blood energy was released from Nangong Qingya's body, and the old man was blasted away by this blood energy.

In this world, the Heavenly Demon has always been a sword of death hanging over the heads of cultivators, and no one knows when the Heavenly Demon in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land will be able to break the seal.

Countless people died trying to seal the Heavenly Demon back then. Once the Heavenly Demon breaks the seal, this world will surely be plunged into chaos once again.

If there exists a sword technique that can suppress demonic energy, obtaining that technique would be like possessing a life-saving talisman.

And those idiots actually went to assassinate someone who possessed the exorcism sword technique!

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the old man quickly said, "Your Excellency, please calm down. Although the mission was reported as successful, we received new information that a few days ago, a person who looked exactly like that rogue cultivator reappeared in Black Moon City. We suspect that he is not dead at all, and the assassination mission actually failed."

Nangong Qingya snorted coldly and said, "Since the mission failed, you know what to do, right?"

The old man quickly replied, "Your Excellency, rest assured, I have already sent men to capture the head of the Great Chu Dynasty."

Nangong Qingya then said, "I need to go to Black Moon City in person. During my absence, please keep a close eye on the Purple Cloud Dynasty."

"Yes, Your Excellency." As soon as the old man finished speaking, Nangong Qingya's body disappeared from the spot.

The old man addressed the air, saying, "Respectfully bidding farewell to Your Excellency!"

……

at the same time.

On Bai Wenbin's flying boat.

Bai Wenbin was planning to go to Black Moon City to see if Lu Chen was really still alive when a guard suddenly burst into his room.

"Commander, something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing the guard's words, Bai Wenbin frowned. "If you continue to curse me like this, do you believe I won't kick you off the flying boat!"

The guard realized he had misspoke and quickly said, "Your subordinate is guilty."

Bai Wenbin then asked, "What happened this time?"

The guard replied, "The people from Blood Rainbow Workshop not only refused our mission, but also killed all the people we sent. Blood Rainbow Workshop also sent people to warn us that if we ever attack Lu Chen again, they will..."

The guard trembled and did not continue speaking.

Bai Wenbin's face darkened. "Tell me what I've done to you, Commander!"

The guard quickly said, "We'll kill you and throw you into the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land to feed...feed the demons."

Bai Wenbin was furious. Wasn't it said that Blood Rainbow Workshop would take on any murder as long as they saw money?

Why not accept his mission!

Instead, he was warned not to lay a hand on Lu Chen!

Just who is this Lu Chen?

The guard continued, "I've also heard that the leader of the Blood Rainbow Pavilion has been dealt with by the Blood Rainbow Pavilion, supposedly because he accepted our mission."

Bai Wenbin's face turned deathly pale. He had dealt with a hall master because of a rogue cultivator.

The hall masters of Blood Rainbow Pavilion are at least experts at the sixth level of the Yin-Yang Realm. Lu Chen is just a rogue cultivator. Why would he want to eliminate an expert from his own faction for the sake of a rogue cultivator?

What exactly happened?

The guard then reminded him, "Commander, news has spread that Lu Chen possesses the Exorcism Sword Technique. I'm afraid more and more forces will approach Lu Chen for the sake of the Exorcism Sword Technique, and we will have even fewer opportunities to attack him in the future."

Upon hearing the guard's words, Bai Wenbin instantly snapped back to reality. How could he have forgotten about this?

The Exorcism Sword Technique is extremely attractive to any faction; possessing it is equivalent to possessing a talisman.

It seems that Blood Rainbow Workshop has also taken a liking to Lu Chen's exorcising sword technique, which is why their attitude towards Lu Chen has suddenly changed so drastically. In that case, wouldn't I no longer have a chance to get rid of Lu Chen?

Given how important Lu Chen is, there will inevitably be forces that will send people to protect him in the future.

Thinking of this, Bai Wenbin clenched his fist in resentment and slammed it into the table next to him, smashing it to pieces.

Bai Wenbin muttered to himself, "No, we can't let this go! Lu Chen must die!"

Although he said that, Bai Wenbin knew that getting rid of Lu Chen was no longer an easy task, and he needed to plan carefully.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the palace, where purple curtains fluttered, a woman's voice echoed softly. Blushing maids bustled about, changing the things in the room, pretending not to hear the voice.

For them, being a maid in the palace meant learning to endure.

The maids in each palace are fixed. When the emperor doesn't come, they have an easier time, but once the emperor comes, they won't have a good time for ten days or half a month.

Of course, they weren't particularly physically tired, since they just had a little more work to do than usual. Even though Su Hanyan wasn't in the palace, they still had to change and wash the blankets as usual. The main fatigue was mental.

Sunlight streamed into the room, reflecting a blinding white light, making people's bodies seem to radiate a holy glow.
