Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, the scene once again fell into a deathly silence. The Hidden Moon Sect Leader's brow furrowed, and his eagle-like eyes fixed intently on Lu Chen.

Evil Immortal Emperor?

How could they not know about this matter?

Lu Chen continued, "This news hasn't reached the Barbaric yet. I learned about it because I have a Clone in the Southern Domain."

"Currently, the majority of forces in the Southern Domain have chosen to become affiliated forces of Blood Eagle Hall, which is the Evil Immortal force that birthed an Immortal Emperor."

Seeing Lu Chen speak so earnestly, as if he weren't lying, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader's expression grew even more somber.

He believed Lu Chen shouldn't deceive him, since such a significant event would soon be spread across the Barbaric.

If what Lu Chen said was true, then his plan to vie for the Southern Domain's Qi Fortune would fall apart.

Although he already believed Lu Chen wouldn't lie, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader still opened his mouth to ask, "Lu Chen, is everything you've said true?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "The Hidden Moon Sect Leader only needs to send someone to the Southern Domain to inquire, and they'll find out. Anyway, before attacking the Southern Domain, we need to gather intelligence on it."

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader thought for a moment, then addressed those present, "I will dispatch someone to the Southern Domain to investigate. If what Lu Chen said is true, then we will halt the plan to attack the Southern Domain."

"Everyone, you may return for now. If there is news, I will send someone to notify you at the earliest time."

Upon hearing these words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and believed Lu Chen must be telling the truth. Thus, a war between two Realms was temporarily avoided, eliminating the fear of sustaining injuries that might prematurely hasten their demise.

Soon, the leaders of various forces departed from the Hidden Moon Sect. Just as Lu Chen was about to turn and leave, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader spoke, "Lu Chen, stay for a moment and talk to me about the current situation in the Southern Domain."

Lu Chen had a Clone in the Southern Domain, and it seemed that his Clone was connected with his Main Body through Divine Sense, so Lu Chen should be well aware of the happenings in the Southern Domain.

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader still harbored some reluctance. Without adequate Qi Fortune, he would merely remain an Immortal Venerate, even though he had refined a Divine Corpse and acquired the power of an Immortal Emperor, his limit remained that of an Immortal Venerate.

If one day his limit arrives, he would still die, so his plan was to gather Qi Fortune from the Barbaric and Southern Domain and attempt to break through to become an Immortal Emperor.

But it turned out that the Southern Domain had already birthed an Immortal Emperor, and Lu Chen furthermore said it was an Evil Immortal Emperor. If it truly was an Evil Immortal Emperor, even with control over the Divine Corpse, he might not be a match for them.

Moreover, a war between Immortal Emperors affects the entire Realm, potentially destroying the Seals in the Sunset Mountain Range. Therefore, if it confirms an Immortal Emperor exists in the Southern Domain, he certainly wouldn't attack it.

But in such a case, his dream of becoming an Immortal Emperor would be shattered.

As for the Central Domain, he dared not move yet; the Demon Emperor and Xiyue Immortal Emperor could strike the Central Domain at any time. If he provoked the Nine Heavens Institute and Tianxi Palace by attacking the Central Domain, it could be detrimental to the Hidden Moon Church.

Soon, all the Immortal Venerates from various forces left the Hidden Moon Sect, leaving only Lu Chen and the Hidden Moon Sect's people. Lu Chen then asked, "What does Sect Hierarch wish to know?"

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader asked, "I haven't seemed to sense any Emperor's Mighty from an Immortal Emperor from the Southern Domain. How did that Evil Immortal Emperor break through?"

When an Immortal Emperor breaks through, they will surely emit an overwhelming Emperor's Mighty. From Immortal Venerate breaking through to Immortal Emperor, their power exponentially increases, and an Immortal Emperor needs some time to get accustomed to that power, hence the Emperor's Mighty released in the breakthrough is difficult for an Immortal Emperor to control.

If the Southern Domain really has an Immortal Emperor, people should have felt the Emperor's Mighty emanating from their breakthrough. This is what perplexes the Hidden Moon Sect Leader.

Lu Chen answered, "Because that Evil Immortal Emperor did not break through recently; he's a self-sealed Immortal Emperor, just recently unsealed himself."

This...

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader fell into silence for a moment.

What Lu Chen said is indeed possible, and likely. The Hidden Moon Sect Leader had long suspected that there existed some self-sealed Immortal Emperors in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, which is why after obtaining the Divine Corpse, he chose to hide in a Small World.

He was concerned that the Divine Corpse might be discovered by those Immortal Emperors.

Seeing the Hidden Moon Sect Leader fall into silence, Lu Chen continued to ask, "Is there anything else Sect Hierarch wants to know?"

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader remained silent, seemingly pondering over something.

After a while, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader finally spoke, "If he's a self-sealed Immortal Emperor, then his strength should not yet be fully restored, right?"

Generally, when an Immortal Emperor self-seals, it's because their limit was nearing, choosing to self-seal themselves to live long and await the coming of the next grand era.

Such Immortal Emperors, even if they lift their self-sealing, due to the limit, their strength might significantly decline.

Lu Chen replied, "I wouldn't know about that."

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader continued to ask, "Have all the forces in the Southern Domain committed to that Immortal Emperor?"

Lu Chen said, "Not at all. The Heavenly Splendor Hall intends to fight Blood Eagle Hall to the death."

Upon hearing this, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader immediately became interested. He planned to use this opportunity to gauge the Southern Domain's Immortal Emperor's strength.

If the Immortal Emperor's power isn't impressive, then he too can launch an attack on the Southern Domain, perhaps even gaining an opportunity from them to become an Emperor Cheng.

Thinking this, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader's heart grew fiery.

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader continued, "Keep your Clone focused on the Heavenly Splendor Hall and that Immortal Emperor. If there are any movements, notify me at once."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, Sect Hierarch."

Then the Hidden Moon Sect Leader said, "That's all. You may leave."

Without saying more, Lu Chen turned and left.

Seeing Lu Chen's impudent attitude, an Immortal Venerate from the Hidden Moon Sect grumbled, "Sect Hierarch, isn't Lu Chen a bit too arrogant? The way he speaks implies he hardly respects you."

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader indifferently said, "That's just a Clone; as long as we don't know where his Main Body is, we can't threaten him, so he wouldn't sincerely submit to me."

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader wasn't naive; he'd already discerned that Lu Chen hadn't genuinely pledged allegiance to the Hidden Moon Sect, but he didn't care in the slightest.

Not to mention Lu Chen, there weren't many forces truly loyal to him in the Barbaric now; those shrewd folks probably are just biding their time until his limit expires.

Once his limit arrives, he would no longer control the Divine Corpse. By then, who knows how many forces would rebel? That's why he urgently needs to become a true Immortal Emperor.

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader didn't mind Lu Chen's disrespect now; once he became an Immortal Emperor and found Lu Chen's Main Body, he would settle scores with Lu Chen. For now, Lu Chen remains useful to him.

Especially Lu Chen's Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array; at this moment, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader's mind was already contemplating if he could use Lu Chen's Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array to seal the Immortal Emperor of the Southern Domain.
