Seeing that the Immortal Venerates in the hall were no longer speaking, Taihua Immortal Venerable continued, "Given the current situation in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, which power do you think can shelter us after offending an Immortal Emperor?"
"We once participated in besieging the Demon Emperor; going to the Northern Domain is courting death. The Barbaric lands are sparse, and besides, I have heard that the Hidden Moon Sect Leader is not a true Immortal Emperor; he merely refined a Divine Corpse, so his strength is definitely not equal to a real Immortal Emperor."
"Xiyue Immortal Emperor is a true Immortal Emperor. Most importantly, Heavenly Splendor Hall did not have many conflicts with the Beast Alliance in the past, and Xiyue Immortal Emperor does not hold much hostility towards the Human Race. Therefore, as long as we are willing to pay some price, Xiyue Immortal Emperor is the most likely to shelter us."
"Of course, this is all if we are defeated; it's not a given that we will certainly fail."
The fact that the Blood Ancestor has not emerged to erase Heavenly Splendor Hall after so many years suggests that the Blood Ancestor is likely under sealing. If they can reinforce the Blood Ancestor's sealing with Lu Chen, then naturally, they would not need to pay a hefty price for Xiyue Immortal Emperor's protection.
Upon hearing Taihua Immortal Venerable's words, the Immortal Venerates of Heavenly Splendor Hall couldn't help but sigh.
Heavenly Splendor Hall, after all, is an Overlord Level influence in the Southern Domain; when did they ever imagine falling to the point of needing others' protection?
Everyone present was also well aware that even if they were truly defeated and fled to the Eastern Domain, Heavenly Splendor Hall would inevitably decline in the end.
Tianxi Palace would never permit an Overlord Level influence to take root in the Eastern Domain, and by that time, Heavenly Splendor Hall might be divided or even directly dissolved.
Seeing the Immortal Venerates present looking heavy-hearted, Lu Chen sneered inwardly. When Heavenly Splendor Hall led numerous forces from the Southern Domain to besiege him, they never expected a day like this, did they?
If not for the fact that the Blood Ancestor was also his enemy, he would not help Heavenly Splendor Hall.
Taihua Immortal Venerable then said, "It's decided; everyone go prepare. In half a year, concentrate all forces of Heavenly Splendor Hall to attack Blood Eagle Hall."
The Elders present immediately declared in unison, "We obey the Hall Master's command!"
As the words landed, the Immortal Venerates dispersed one after another.
Lu Chen also prepared to leave. Just as he was about to exit, Taihua Immortal Venerable suddenly called out, "Lu Chen, wait a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Lu Chen paused, turning his head to look in confusion at Taihua Immortal Venerable.
Something?
What could it be?
Soon, only the two remained in the Meeting Hall, and Taihua Immortal Venerable asked, "Your clone in Tianxi Palace should be receiving some attention, correct?"
Lu Chen asked in puzzlement, "Why does Taihua Hall Master ask this?"
Taihua Immortal Venerable replied, "I want you to inquire on my behalf whether Xiyue Immortal Emperor is willing to accept Heavenly Splendor Hall."
Should Heavenly Splendor Hall really be defeated, they couldn't simply head to the Eastern Domain without prior notice, as that would constitute an act of war, and they might rather be dealt with by Xiyue Immortal Emperor instead.
Taihua Immortal Venerable knew Lu Chen had a clone in the Eastern Domain, and Lu Chen had some status in Tianxi Palace due to his ability to inscribe the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array.
Lu Chen might very well meet Xiyue Immortal Emperor, which could allow Lu Chen's clone to mediate between them and Heavenly Splendor Hall.
Hearing this, Lu Chen fell into silence.
To be honest, whether Xiyue Immortal Emperor would shelter Heavenly Splendor Hall was merely a matter of his one word, after all, he was currently riding on Xiyue Immortal Emperor's coattails.
But did he really have to let Xiyue Immortal Emperor protect the people of Heavenly Splendor Hall?
Seeing Lu Chen falling silent, Taihua Immortal Venerable asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Lu Chen came back to his senses, revealing a slight smile, and then said directly, "Taihua Hall Master, to be frank, whether Xiyue Immortal Emperor shelters Heavenly Splendor Hall is merely a matter of my one word."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Taihua Immortal Venerable was momentarily stunned.
His one word?
Lu Chen was bold indeed!
Could he actually let Xiyue Immortal Emperor listen to him?
But seeing Lu Chen's demeanor, it didn't seem like he was joking.
Taihua Immortal Venerable asked in confusion, "Are you kidding me?"
Lu Chen continued, "Whether you believe it or not is up to Taihua Hall Master."
"If Heavenly Splendor Hall is defeated, I can ensure Xiyue Immortal Emperor protects you, but I have one condition."
Taihua Immortal Venerable furrowed his brow slightly. If Lu Chen could indeed sway Xiyue Immortal Emperor, then Lu Chen's identity was likely even more terrifying than they had presumed.
Would Lu Chen now demand a hefty price?
Taihua Immortal Venerable then asked, "What's the condition? Since Heavenly Splendor Hall can achieve it, we will try our best to fulfill it."
Lu Chen said straightforwardly, "Disband Heavenly Splendor Hall and tell me which Immortal Venerates advocated for my encirclement."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's conditions, Taihua Immortal Venerable was momentarily stunned, not knowing what to say.
He hadn't expected Lu Chen to propose such a harsh condition; he would have preferred Lu Chen to make an exorbitant demand for something else.
Seeing Taihua Immortal Venerable silent for a long time, Lu Chen continued, "Inform me once Taihua Hall Master has decided."
Saying this, Lu Chen turned to continue walking out of the hall, pausing after a few steps and turning back to look at the contemplative Taihua Immortal Venerable.
"Oh, by the way, I am now the dao couple of Xiyue Immortal Emperor."
With this statement, Taihua Immortal Venerable felt like he was struck by lightning.
Regardless of what special background Lu Chen might have, just the fact that Lu Chen is the dao couple of Xiyue Immortal Emperor is enough to ensure that no one dares touch Lu Chen in the future.
Lu Chen's demands to disband Heavenly Splendor Hall and to find those who advocated his execution was a typical act of revenge against Heavenly Splendor Hall.
If what Lu Chen said was true, that he truly is the dao couple of Xiyue Immortal Emperor, then Lu Chen's single word might indeed decide whether Xiyue Immortal Emperor would shelter Heavenly Splendor Hall.
This was troublesome...
It would be fortunate if Heavenly Splendor Hall could seal the Blood Ancestor, but if Heavenly Splendor Hall were truly defeated...
Taihua Immortal Venerable dared not imagine the consequences.
As the current Hall Master of Heavenly Splendor Hall, naturally, he did not wish to see the hall disbanded.
Now, Taihua Immortal Venerable was worried about another matter; from Lu Chen's intent to disband Heavenly Splendor Hall, it was evident that Lu Chen still harbored strong animosity against them.
If, when Heavenly Splendor Hall launched the attack on Blood Eagle Hall intending to seal the Blood Ancestor, Lu Chen suddenly turned against them, then the defeat of Heavenly Splendor Hall would be a foregone conclusion.
Thinking of this, worry was etched on Taihua Immortal Venerable's face.
Now, all he could do was pray that Heavenly Splendor Hall could seal the Blood Ancestor.
Meanwhile.
Tianxi Palace.
Xiyue Immortal Emperor's bedchamber.
The bedchamber was suffused with the scent of desire, and at this moment, Lu Chen's voice came from the divan, "Heavenly Splendor Hall plans to concentrate all forces to attack Blood Eagle Hall, to engage in a decisive battle."
Hearing Lu Chen's abrupt words, Xiyue Immortal Emperor, who was immersed in passion, paused slightly. Why was this scoundrel talking about this at such a time?
Xiyue Immortal Emperor turned slightly, showing a hint of confusion in her misty, alluring eyes, "Why are you telling me this?"
