When Wuya Immortal Venerable returned from the Barbaric lands, Star River Immortal Venerate immediately sensed the strange aura on him that instilled fear, believing that Wuya Immortal Venerable's power now far surpassed his own.
However, under such circumstances, Wuya Immortal Venerable did not return to the Barbaric lands to deal with Lu Chen; instead, he came back to have the Heavenly Splendor Hall attack the Mysterious Moon Palace, which proved he was wary of something.
From Wuya Immortal Venerable's series of reactions, it was evident he considered Lu Chen significant, indicating that the person he was wary of should be Lu Chen.
Of course, at most, Lu Chen was just an Immortal King; Wuya Immortal Venerable couldn't possibly be wary of an Immortal King, so the thing he feared might be something on Lu Chen.
If Lu Chen hadn't acquired any fortuity in the Chaotic Sea, what would make Wuya Immortal Venerable wary of him? One must know that billions of years ago, it was Wuya Immortal Venerable himself who forced Lu Chen into the Chaotic Sea.
Let's not mention that Wuya Immortal Venerable, stained with the Mysterious Power, had grown unfathomably stronger; even if he hadn't been tainted by the Mysterious Power, his strength shouldn't fear Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lu Chen said, "The Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture can restrain evil powers, perhaps even the Mysterious Power, which is why Wuya Immortal Venerable wants to kill me."
Star River Immortal Venerate murmured to himself, "Is it really just because of this Immortal Law…"
At this point, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng asked, "What is the Star River Hall Master's next plan?"
"If the Star River Hall Master wants to eliminate that Immortal Venerate tainted by the Mysterious Power, our Mysterious Moon Palace is willing to lend assistance."
If indeed Wuya Immortal Venerable has been corroded by the Mysterious Power, then this matter must be dealt with, otherwise, with more and more Immortals being tainted by this power, before disaster even strikes, the Tianyan Immortal Domain might turn into a living hell.
Star River Immortal Venerate thought for a moment before saying, "This matter requires further deliberation."
Star River Immortal Venerate remained apprehensive towards the strange aura on Wuya Immortal Venerable. If they were able to resolve Wuya Immortal Venerable together, all would be well. But if they failed to kill Wuya Immortal Venerable, creating another Demon Emperor, the Southern Domain might fall to Wuya Immortal Venerable.
After all, the Demon Emperor was someone from Tianyan Immortal Domain, a familiar existence, whereas the Mysterious Power on Wuya Immortal Venerable is a force they never encountered before, and the more mysterious and unknown it is, the more fearsome it becomes.
Compared to the Demon Emperor, Star River Immortal Venerate feared the Mysterious Power on Wuya Immortal Venerable even more.
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng glanced at Lu Chen in the grand hall, "Didn't the Star River Hall Master say he was very concerned about Lu Chen? Then let Lu Chen be the bait."
Upon hearing Yun Meng Immortal Venerable's words, Lu Chen was a bit confused. What did this have to do with him, that he should be the bait? Though he desired vengeance, his vengeance was aimed at the entire Heavenly Splendor Hall, not merely Wuya Immortal Venerable.
Wuya Immortal Venerable's issues pertained to the Heavenly Splendor Hall's internal affairs, and he had no intention of getting involved.
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng seemed to discern Lu Chen's internal thoughts, and before he could speak, she said again, "The strange power from that person must not spread, as no one knows the harm that force could cause. If it spreads, it might bring disaster to the Tianyan Immortal Domain."
Lu Chen said nothing, as he realized Yun Meng Immortal Venerable was reminding him that this concerned the whole Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Although it was moral coercion, Lu Chen thought about it for a moment and admitted Yun Meng Immortal Venerable had a point.
At that time, in the Northern Domain, when he sensed that Mysterious Power in the sky, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
That power was enough to make someone who might have been a Great Power in a past life feel uneasy, highlighting the significant threat of this Mysterious Power.
Besides, Wuya Immortal Venerable was originally his enemy.
If he could leverage the hands of the Heavenly Splendor Hall and Mysterious Moon Palace to remove this foe, he might consider it.
As for the grievances with the Heavenly Splendor Hall, once he broke through to the Immortal Venerate or restored his cultivation path to normal, he could deal with it then.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen put on a righteous demeanor and said, "This junior is willing to contribute a part for all living beings!"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's willingness to act as bait, a glimmer of light flashed in Star River Immortal Venerate's eyes. If Wuya Immortal Venerable really cared about Lu Chen, then letting Lu Chen be the bait might successfully lure Wuya Immortal Venerable into their pre-set trap.
With this thought, Star River Immortal Venerate smiled and said, "Since the Chen King has such awareness, I cannot let down your good intentions, but where should we lure Wuya Immortal Venerable?"
Immortal Venerable Level battles are tremendously destructive, and the Northern Domain is a prime example. Nearly half of its continent has been devastated, with recovery still needed.
Given the current strength of Wuya Immortal Venerable, likely comparable to the Demon Emperor, if a battle breaks out in the Southern Domain, it could share the Northern Domain's fate, impacting countless people.
Upon Star River Immortal Venerate finishing his speech, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng spoke, "The Barbaric lands."
Hearing Yun Meng Immortal Venerable's suggestion, Star River Immortal Venerate thought for a moment then said, "The Barbaric lands indeed would be a suitable location."
The Barbaric lands are vast and sparsely populated, so even if devastation occurs, they would feel no heartache.
Star River Immortal Venerate continued, "Since that's the case, let it be decided."
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng remarked, "Given the seriousness of this matter, I still need to consult with our ancestor; as for specific actions, we will reconvene in three days. In the meantime, please trouble the Star River Hall Master to stay a few more days at the Mysterious Moon Palace."
Star River Immortal Venerate replied, "Alright, I shall impose then."
Subsequently, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng summoned an Elder to escort Star River Immortal Venerate to reside in the Immortal City beneath the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Though Star River Immortal Venerate was a guest, given that he's the Hall Master of an Overlord Level power, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng couldn't let him remain within the Mysterious Moon Palace. If any of the palace's secrets were revealed, it would be detrimental.
However, the Immortal City under the control of the Mysterious Moon Palace is considered a part of it, and Star River Immortal Venerate, being a leader of an Overlord Level force, naturally understood.
After Star River Immortal Venerate departed the Yun Meng Hall, only Lu Chen and Immortal Venerable Yun Meng remained in the grand hall. At this moment, Lu Chen proactively asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Star River Immortal Venerate might be lying?"
With a calm demeanor, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng inquired, "Are you suggesting the Heavenly Splendor Hall intends to strike against the Mysterious Moon Palace?"
Lu Chen replied, "It's possible that the Heavenly Splendor Hall has been entirely consumed by the Mysterious Power now, and that Star River Immortal Venerate deliberately leaked information about the Mysterious Power to target the Mysterious Moon Palace?"
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng responded, "There's no aura of the Mysterious Power on Star River Immortal Venerate, so he's currently credible. However, your concerns are valid, and I will report to the ancestor before deciding."
"Moreover…"
At this point, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng's gaze fell upon Lu Chen as she continued, "It seems your Memory Pearl was missing quite a bit of memory earlier?"
Lu Chen claimed that the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture was obtained in the Chaotic Sea, yet there wasn't any memory of obtaining this Immortal Law in his Memory Pearl, clearly indicating Lu Chen had hidden many memories.
