Upon hearing the sounds outside the palace, Lu Chen's figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared in the sky.

Lu Chen glanced at the visitor, who was merely an Immortal Monarch, wearing the core disciple uniform of the Hidden Moon Sect.

Lu Chen asked, "I wonder what matter the Upper Sect seeks with me?"

Nowadays, the Barbaric region was considered under the rule of the Hidden Moon Sect, and all forces within it were deemed as subsidiary, including the Daqin Immortal Dynasty. Hence, the Hidden Moon Sect was regarded as the Upper Sect of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty, at least on the surface.

The disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect looked at Lu Chen without any small talk, directly saying, "Three months later, go to the Hidden Moon Sect to discuss significant matters."

The Barbaric region was immense, and without a Transmission Array, even an Immortal King or Immortal Venerate would need a lot of time to traverse it entirely.

Therefore, when the Hidden Moon Sect summoned leaders from all sides in the Barbaric region, they would typically allow ample time, and naturally, three months would be sufficient for Lu Chen to reach them.

However, Lu Chen was curious about the purpose of this assembly by the Hidden Moon Sect this time.

With a smile on his face, Lu Chen tried to elicit information, "I wonder if the envoy can reveal what's the reason for this assembly by the Upper Sect?"

The disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect replied indifferently, "I don't know either. Once the Immortal Emperor Qin arrives at the Hidden Moon Sect, he will naturally know the matter."

"The message has been delivered, I'll take my leave."

As his words fell, the disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect turned and flew away.

Watching the back of the Hidden Moon Sect disciple, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

He was curious about what the Hidden Moon Sect intended to do next, but after pondering for a long time, he couldn't figure out their purpose. So, he stopped thinking about it further, knowing he would find out once he arrived at the Hidden Moon Sect.

...

Southern Domain, White Rainbow Immortal City.

Lu Chen's clone was in the cultivation chamber, in seclusion and standby, when several powerful auras appeared outside his residence.

This interrupted Lu Chen's fervor, as his Divine Soul was ready to fully engage with the Xiyue Immortal Emperor. Yet, here came another group to seek him.

Although somewhat annoyed, he realized that given the presence of several Immortal Venerates, there was likely a significant matter at hand. Perhaps some strange creatures had breached the sealing at the Sunset Mountain Range, so Lu Chen opened his eyes and exited the cultivation chamber.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, discovering it was Taihua Immortal Venerable and a group of Immortal Venerates from the Heavenly Splendor Hall, Lu Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

He initially thought it was Immortal Venerates tasked with patrolling the Sunset Mountain Range, but unexpectedly it was people from the Heavenly Splendor Hall. Given that so many Immortal Venerates from the Heavenly Splendor Hall came looking for him, it likely wasn't a promising situation.

Lu Chen took the initiative to speak, "Taihua Hall Master, you've mobilized in such numbers to seek me out, I wonder what important matter it is?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable replied with a smile, "I heard that Blood Eagle Hall initially assaulted the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, ultimately forcing you, Lu, to transmit all the citizens of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty elsewhere?"

At Taihua Immortal Venerable's mention of Blood Eagle Hall, Lu Chen immediately guessed the intentions of the Heavenly Splendor Hall, having felt the pressure exerted by the Blood Ancestor and heard the sound of his voice.

Currently, the situation for the Heavenly Splendor Hall was quite tense, given its Overlord-level Influence in the Southern Domain, they wouldn't easily relinquish its position.

Moreover, after surrendering to Blood Eagle Hall, it's likely Blood Eagle Hall still posed a threat to them, leading the Heavenly Splendor Hall to risk a desperate struggle.

However, an Immortal Venerate's strength couldn't match that of an Immortal Emperor, as even all the Immortal Venerates of the Heavenly Splendor Hall combined might not be opponents for the Blood Ancestor.

Unable to win, leaves just one option—to seal the Blood Ancestor.

The Heavenly Splendor Hall, with so many Immortal Venerates, might dare to gamble on sealing the Blood Ancestor.

Taihua Immortal Venerable continued, "The citizens of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty probably haven't found a suitable place yet. Why not let our Heavenly Splendor Hall allocate an area to help Lu settle the citizens of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty."

Upon hearing Taihua Immortal Venerable's words, Lu Chen showed a faint smile and said, "Taihua Hall Master, please get straight to what you want me to do. It won't trouble you at the Heavenly Splendor Hall with the citizens of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty."

Seeing Lu Chen say this, Taihua Immortal Venerable spoke directly, "Blood Eagle Hall is an Evil Immortal force. If allowed to dominate the Southern Domain, it's bound to bring calamity to the beings here. Now that Blood Eagle Hall has birthed an Immortal Emperor, it's indeed a major disaster for the Southern Domain."

"For the sake of the Southern Domain, we plan to resist Blood Eagle Hall. Yet relying solely on the strength of our Immortal Venerates isn't enough against an Immortal Emperor, hence seeking aid from Lu."

"If successfully sealing the Evil Immortal Emperor, from now on, Lu will be the benefactor of the Heavenly Splendor Hall and the savior of the Southern Domain."

"As long as Lu lends a hand, we're willing to agree to any conditions required."

Upon hearing Taihua Immortal Venerable offering conditions, Lu Chen pondered rather than respond immediately.

He held no favorable regard for the Heavenly Splendor Hall, especially when there's still unresolved matters between them.

However, he held grudges against Blood Eagle Hall too, particularly when the Blood Ancestor was keen on his demise. Comparatively, Blood Eagle Hall posed the greatest threat to him.

Since learning about the Blood Ancestor, a thought lingered in his mind, why hasn't the Blood Ancestor's Main Body emerged? Perhaps the Blood Ancestor's body was bound by some constraint, preventing him from coming forth, or he's suffered serious injuries and has yet to recover, hence his continued concealment.

For someone who possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor to hide in a Small World inside Blood Eagle Hall—it seemed rather unusual.

If indeed the Blood Ancestor's strength hadn't restored, or his main body remained sealed, then allying with the Heavenly Splendor Hall to seal the Blood Ancestor was the best choice.

Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, there's great apprehension among the Immortal Venerates of the Heavenly Splendor Hall. Should Lu refuse, their last hope to counter the Immortal Emperor would dissipate.

Furthermore, having opted to resist Blood Eagle Hall, the Evil Immortal Emperor of the Blood Eagle Hall likely knew of their decision.

There's no airtight secrecy, particularly against an Immortal Emperor, and coupled with internal factions within the Heavenly Splendor Hall, chances are someone leaked the intention of hard confrontation with Blood Eagle Hall.

Thus, there's no retreat left for the Heavenly Splendor Hall; if Lu Chen had no intention of assisting them, ultimately they might only choose to leave the Southern Domain.

With a smile, Lu Chen asked, "Are you sure the Heavenly Splendor Hall is willing to agree to any condition?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's query, the Immortal Venerates of the Heavenly Splendor Hall felt slightly relieved—Lu Chen raising conditions suggested potential interest.

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "As long as it's within our capability, the Heavenly Splendor Hall will try its best to meet Lu's requirements."

After a brief thought, presently there seemed little he required from the Heavenly Splendor Hall, being disinterested in their Immortal Law or treasures.

However, the development of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty required abundant Immortal Crystals; Lu Chen said, "Then after the deed is done, the Heavenly Splendor Hall shall provide me with five Immortal Crystal Mine Veins and a hundred billion Immortal Crystals."
