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

Chapter 752 I'll Give You Two Choices

Ji Qiuyu also noticed that Nangong Yuehua's emotions were a bit off. Seeing the faint aura emanating from Nangong Yuehua, Ji Qiuyu was about to say something, but Lu Chen interrupted her.

"Your Majesty, I am the rogue cultivator who helped Black Moon City withstand the demonic tide."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Ji Qiuyu quickly added, "Your Majesty, ever since Lu Chen helped Black Moon City resist the demonic tide, the Great Chu Dynasty has appointed him as the deputy city lord of Black Moon City."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuehua was unconvinced. She naturally understood what Ji Qiuyu meant. Ji Qiuyu meant that Lu Chen was now a member of the Great Chu Dynasty and could not be taken away casually.

But for her, if Lu Chen really had the ability to suppress demonic energy, she would snatch him away, no matter if he was from the Great Chu Dynasty or the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Nangong Yuehua glanced at Lu Chen lying on the bed and asked, "I'm very curious, where did you get your so-called exorcism sword technique?"

Lu Chen replied, "Your Majesty, there is no such thing as an exorcising sword technique."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Nangong Yuehua's red pupils seemed to turn even more crimson, and she exuded a murderous aura.

An invisible pressure emanated from Nangong Yuehua's body, making the entire room incredibly stuffy, and Ji Qiuyu even found it difficult to breathe.

However, Lu Chen was unaffected. He calmly continued, "I can suppress demonic energy simply because of my special physique."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, a surge of spiritual energy lifted him up from the bed. Then, a stream of spiritual energy entered Lu Chen's body to examine him.

Upon examination, Nangong Yuehua's expression grew even colder. This man was like a dead object, devoid of any life force, not even a beating heart. However, his spiritual energy was incredibly abundant, and he possessed no demonic energy whatsoever, nor was he a demonic cultivator.

Lu Chen's puppetry is a Saint-level puppetry technique. It is not easy to see through his puppetry technique. Without special means, one must at least have the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm to see that his body is a puppet.

After examining Lu Chen's body, Nangong Yuehua confirmed that the man's physique was indeed special, but she was unsure whether Lu Chen's ability to suppress demonic energy was due to his physique or because he had practiced the Exorcism Sword Technique.

But that doesn't matter.

As long as it's confirmed that this man can control demonic energy, that's fine.

Then Nangong Yuehua said, "Come with me to the Zixiao Dynasty. I can let you enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life, and the Zixiao Dynasty can provide you with countless cultivation resources to help you become stronger."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "His Majesty's sister also wanted to take me away, but after considering my important role in Black Moon City, she ultimately chose to leave."

"Even His Majesty's sister knows how to consider the bigger picture. I believe that His Majesty, as the emperor of the Zixiao Dynasty, should also know what to do."

Nangong Yuehua's face darkened instantly, and waves of killing intent emanated from her body.

younger sister?

Few people know that she has a younger sister. Although she is the eldest princess and has many sisters, she only has one full sister.

That is Nangong Qingya.

Nangong Qingya was born bloodthirsty. In order to cover up her existence, the emperor sent her out of the palace at a young age. Later, she gradually grew into a wicked cultivator and became the master of the Blood Rainbow Sect, the number one wicked sect in the Ziyang World. However, almost no one knew that she was a princess of the Zixiao Dynasty.

Those who knew about this back then were basically all eliminated by Nangong Yuehua's father.

This man actually knew!

Nangong Yuehua immediately raised her hand, and a force pulled Lu Chen's body directly in front of her, and that force tightly gripped his neck.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen was in a puppet body, so no matter how much she pinched him, he was completely unharmed.

"Who do you think you are?!"

Nangong Yuehua's tone was extremely cold, as if it were an order, leaving no room for doubt.

Lu Chen said calmly, "Why is Your Majesty so violent, just like your sister? You resort to violence at the drop of a hat. If you accidentally kill me, there will be no one to restrain the power of the Heavenly Demon. Once the Heavenly Demon breaks the seal, the cultivators of this world will probably be devoured by the Heavenly Demon very quickly."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Nangong Yuehua quickly composed herself.

She continued, "Since you know she is my sister, you should know very well that anyone who knows this will only have one fate."

Blood Rainbow Cult is the largest evil cultivation force in the Purple Sun World. If people were to find out that the owner of Blood Rainbow Cult is the sister of the Empress of the Purple Cloud Dynasty, wouldn't they think that the Purple Cloud Dynasty and Blood Rainbow Cult are in cahoots and are both evil forces?

Moreover, she had only recently ascended the throne. If the old guard of the Zixiao Dynasty found out about this, they would surely use it as an excuse to propose abolishing her imperial position.

Nangong Yuehua continued, "I'm giving you two choices: either come back to the Zixiao Dynasty with me, or die!"

Since this man knows she has a younger sister, she can't let him stay in Black Moon City any longer. If this news gets out, it will cause her a lot of trouble.

Just then, Lu Chen took out the identity token that Nangong Qingya had given him and said, "Master Nangong asked me to guard Black Moon City here to prevent the demonic tide from spreading. She told me that if anyone tries to take me away, I should activate the token immediately, and she will appear in front of me soon."

"If Your Majesty insists on taking me away, then I will have no choice but to activate this token. Your Majesty must not have seen your sister for many years, has he?"

Upon seeing the token in Lu Chen's hand, Nangong Yuehua frowned. It was indeed the token of the Blood Rainbow Workshop's master. Lu Chen could activate the token by simply infusing it with a little spiritual energy.

Nangong Yuehua didn't want to see her younger sister at all, after all, she was an evil cultivator, while she was the empress of the Zixiao Dynasty.

One is righteous, the other is villainous; the two sisters are destined to be enemies in this life.

Nangong Yuehua thought for a moment. Even Nangong Qingya hadn't taken Lu Chen away. If she took Lu Chen away, Xuehongfang would definitely come knocking on her door.

Moreover, other forces also covet Lu Chen, and more and more forces will compete for him in the future. In that case, it would be better to leave Lu Chen in Black Moon City and let him guard the city to prevent the spread of the demonic tide and thus slow down the speed at which the Heavenly Demon breaks through the seal.

As long as the Zixiao Dynasty and Xuehongfang both express their support and allow Lu Chen to guard Black Moon City, other forces will naturally stop targeting Lu Chen. After all, anyone who tries to take Lu Chen away might be labeled a demonic cultivator.

Only those who want the demonic tide to spread and release the Heavenly Demons would not want Lu Chen to guard Black Moon City.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yuehua released Lu Chen directly. Then she took out a jade pendant and used her spiritual power to send it directly to Lu Chen.

"If I find out that you have revealed my relationship with that person, no matter how important you are to the Ziyang World, I will still take your life with my own hands."

"There is a teleportation array inside the token. If you encounter danger, activate the array and I will send someone to rescue you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yuehua's body disappeared from the spot. She had no mind to ask Lu Chen how he knew Nangong Qingya's identity.

In Nangong Yuehua's view at this moment, since Nangong Qingya had handed over the guild master's token to Lu Chen, it proved that she valued Lu Chen very much. Perhaps Nangong Qingya had already realized that her older sister was coming, so she took the initiative to tell Lu Chen about their relationship.
