Although the Immortal Venerates in the hall felt extremely angry, they couldn't say much more, as in the current situation, Lu Chen was of greater significance to them.

If they offended Lu Chen and he left, the situation for Heavenly Splendor Hall would become more difficult.

Taihua Immortal Venerable said at this moment, "Lu Chen, if you are willing to inform us about the movements in the Barbaric, I am willing to offer ten billion Immortal Crystals as a reward."

Lu Chen replied directly, "Sure, what do you want to know?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable asked, "How many forces have come from the Barbaric this time?"

Lu Chen replied, "After Hidden Moon Sect unified the Barbaric, all forces in the Barbaric became its affiliates. This invasion of the Southern Domain is at the Hidden Moon Sect Leader's behest. How many forces does Taihua Hall Master think have come from the Barbaric?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerates present were momentarily stunned.

The invasion of the Southern Domain is at the Hidden Moon Sect Leader's behest?

Doesn't that imply all forces in the Barbaric have dispatched representatives? If all the Barbaric forces, especially those from the Northern Domain, are involved, then the Southern Domain stands little chance of victory.

Unless...

Bring in Blood Eagle Hall.

If Blood Eagle Hall's Blood Ancestor hasn't been sealed, and there is an Immortal Emperor present, the Barbaric wouldn't find it easy to occupy the Southern Domain.

But the problem now is that reconciliation with Blood Eagle Hall is nearly impossible.

Even if reconciliation happens, if the Blood Ancestor is indeed still sealed as they speculate, he wouldn't have much impact.

For a while, the hall fell silent again, the atmosphere was indescribably oppressive and heavy.

No one knew how much time had passed before Taihua Immortal Venerable spoke again, "Does the Barbaric not know there is an Evil Immortal Emperor in the Southern Domain?"

Lu Chen replied, "They know, but the Hidden Moon Sect Leader believes the Blood Ancestor's days are numbered and won't exhibit much strength."

Taihua Immortal Venerable sunk back into silence.

He developed thoughts of going to the Eastern Domain again, but he had discussed it with Lu Chen last time; if he wanted to go to the Eastern Domain, he would need to dismantle Heavenly Splendor Hall, which he didn't want.

With the current change in heavenly rules, he wished to use the Qi Fortune of the Immortal Sect to help increase his Cultivation State to a higher level. Without Heavenly Splendor Hall and without the Immortal Sect's Qi Fortune, unknown years would be needed to break through to the First Layer Heaven.

After another while, Taihua Immortal Venerable glanced at the Immortal Venerates in the hall and then said to them, "Return to your own warships for now; I have matters to discuss with Lu Chen."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerates departed one by one. They couldn't come up with a good plan here and would be better off returning to consider if there is any retreat.

When all the Immortal Venerates had left the hall, Taihua Immortal Venerable looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Is what you mentioned last time true?"

Lu Chen asked, "Which matter does Taihua Hall Master refer to?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "You said you are Xiyue Immortal Emperor's couple."

"I sent people to explore the Eastern Domain, and Xiyue Immortal Emperor seems not to have a couple."

After Heavenly Splendor Hall launched a full-scale attack on Blood Eagle Hall, Taihua Immortal Venerable sent people to the Eastern Domain to probe into Xiyue Immortal Emperor's affairs.

Despite extensive investigations by Heavenly Splendor Hall, no trace was found of Xiyue Immortal Emperor having found a couple, causing Taihua Immortal Venerable to suspect Lu Chen might be bluffing.

Lu Chen said, "Does Taihua Hall Master believe anyone would dare to slander an Immortal Emperor?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Taihua Immortal Venerable was silent for a moment.

Indeed, he also felt it unlikely that Lu Chen would disrespect an Immortal Emperor; though unable to find Lu Chen's Main Body, an Immortal Emperor's Divine Thought could cover the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain, locating Lu Chen's Main Body would be all too easy.

If an Immortal Emperor learns someone is spreading rumors about them having a couple, wrath is certain to follow, and Lu Chen's fate would be unknown.

Seeing Taihua Immortal Venerable's lingering doubt, Lu Chen continued, "Is Taihua Hall Master planning to head to the Eastern Domain?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "If you can take the initiative, when push comes to shove, I shall move Heavenly Splendor Hall to the Eastern Domain."

"But I have one condition: Heavenly Splendor Hall cannot be dissolved."

Heavenly Splendor Hall is crucial for gathering Qi Fortune and advancing Cultivation State; he can consider almost any condition, except for this one.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen said, "Does Taihua Hall Master think Xiyue Immortal Emperor would permit an Overlord Level power to exist in her realm?"

"Even if I avoid stating this condition, Xiyue Immortal Emperor would never allow a power of Heavenly Splendor Hall's level to remain in the Eastern Domain."

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "If you can take the initiative, then I would ask you to speak to Xiyue Immortal Emperor. Heavenly Splendor Hall could be divided into several Immortal Sects, and I ask Xiyue Immortal Emperor to show mercy and let Heavenly Splendor Hall retain its legacy."

Taihua Immortal Venerable realized that a power like Heavenly Splendor Hall would be warded off in any other Realm it entered.

Being so, it was better to compromise by splitting Heavenly Splendor Hall into several Immortal Sects, significantly weakening its strength, thereby putting Xiyue Immortal Emperor at ease.

As long as Heavenly Splendor Hall can be preserved, that would suffice.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment; asking Taihua Immortal Venerable to disband Heavenly Splendor Hall was probably indeed difficult, but once Heavenly Splendor Hall reaches the Eastern Domain, any revenge on it would be another matter entirely.

In truth, retaliating against Heavenly Splendor Hall now wouldn't really be a challenge either.

Lu Chen then said to Taihua Immortal Venerable, "I can speak with Xiyue Immortal Emperor; however, regarding the condition I posed last time, has Taihua Immortal Venerable given it thought?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable remained silent, directly gathering a Memory Pearl and sending it before Lu Chen.

"This is the scene of how Heavenly Splendor Hall deliberated on dealing with you when you first rose."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately activated immortal power, browsing through memories within the Memory Pearl.

In Taihua Immortal Venerable's memories, three Immortal Venerates advocated for extinguishing him, fearing his rapid growth would eventually threaten Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Apart from those three Immortal Venerates, the rest suggested recruiting him to join Heavenly Splendor Hall, enhancing its strength.

Ultimately, Star River Immortal Venerate decided on having Wuya Immortal Venerable lead various forces in the Southern Domain to besiege him.

After reviewing Taihua Immortal Venerable's memories, Lu Chen said, "When does Taihua Hall Master plan on moving to the Eastern Domain?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable didn't answer immediately; after pausing in thought, he spoke after a while, "If possible, would you immediately inform Xiyue Immortal Emperor? I plan to migrate to the Eastern Domain before the Barbaric armies arrive."

Taihua Immortal Venerable contemplated; fight tooth and nail to seal the Blood Ancestor, only to tailor a victory robe for the Barbaric, whereas preserving the Blood Ancestor might lead to mutual destruction between Barbaric forces and Blood Eagle Hall.

They in Heavenly Splendor Hall should preserve their strength by heading to the Eastern Domain first; if Blood Eagle Hall and the Barbaric forces annihilate each other, Heavenly Splendor Hall might have a chance to return in the future.

Of course, Taihua Immortal Venerable knew this possibility was minimal, but to ensure Heavenly Splendor Hall's survival, departure from the Southern Domain was the best choice.
