The Immortal Venerables in the hall fell silent upon hearing Elder Chenlan's words.

If Lu Chen had really framed Immortal Venerable Tianfeng, creating discord, it wouldn't make sense for Elder Chenlan to come together with Lu Chen to frame Immortal Venerable Tianfeng?

Elder Chenlan and Immortal Venerable Tianfeng had no disputes.

Upon hearing Elder Chenlan's words, Immortal Venerable Tianfeng flew into a rage, thinking, good fellow, not even bothering to argue, just outright framing.

Though it was indeed what he did, he didn't believe Elder Chenlan saw him at Lu Chen's place. He used Space Teleportation directly to Lu Chen's courtyard, and at that time, Elder Chenlan was still in Chenlan Palace, so how could he have seen it?

This was simply lying through his teeth.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng realized it now, clearly, Taihua Immortal Venerable and others understood that revealing Elder Chenlan's attack on Lu Chen would make it difficult to find the culprit and impossible to convince people that he did it. If they doubted he was the culprit later, it wouldn't be convincing.

They might as well directly say it was him, since his suspicion was the greatest, after all, he had sought Elder Chenlan and instigated him to betray the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng quickly said, "Elder Chenlan, you can eat randomly, but not speak randomly. What evidence do you have to prove that I went to Lu Chen's residence?"

"I could also say that I saw you went to Lu Chen's residence. How would you prove your innocence?"

Elder Chenlan calmly said, "But Lu Chen saw you, not me."

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng said, "Ridiculous, don't tell me there's anyone here who couldn't use Disguise Skills?"

"What if someone disguised themselves as me, framing me?"

Lu Chen said, "I forgot to tell you, I excel in an Immortal Law to identify people, no matter how they disguise themselves, I can see their true identity."

"If you don't believe it, the esteemed ones here may try it."

Hearing this, one of the Immortal Venerables immediately stood up and said, "In that case, let's test Lu's ability to identify people. We will leave the hall, return later, and if Lu can recognize us, we'll believe him."

At this moment, the Immortal Venerables present were somewhat on Immortal Venerable Tianfeng's side, because they couldn't ascertain if Lu Chen was framing him, and they worried if someday someone disguised as them attacked Lu Chen, they'd end up like Immortal Venerable Tianfeng.

Soon, except for Immortal Venerable Tianfeng, Elder Chenlan, and Taihua Immortal Venerable, the Immortal Venerables left the hall. In just a short while, they returned, but their appearances had changed to that of another Immortal Venerable.

The Disguise Skills of Immortal Venerables were highly proficient, even without the Transformation Mirror that Immortal Venerable Tianfeng possessed, their outlooks were almost identical to their targets.

Under concealed auras, it's somewhat challenging to distinguish who's who.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people; for Immortal Venerables, they can almost immediately tell who's who.

At this point, an Immortal Venerate said, "Alright, we've all disguised ourselves now. I wonder if Lu can distinguish who we are?"

Without a word, Lu Chen pointed at one Immortal Venerate on the right and said, "You are Qingming Immortal Venerable."

Upon Lu Chen instantly identifying him, Qingming Immortal Venerable awkwardly said, "Is my Disguise Skill really that poor?"

Lu Chen didn't waste words with Qingming Immortal Venerable, he then pointed at several other Immortal Venerable, "Juechen Immortal Venerable, Yun Sheng Immortal Venerable, Xuanyuan Immortal Venerable..."

Seeing Lu Chen instantly discerned everyone's identity, the Immortal Venerable ceased disguising and immediately reverted to their original appearances, afterward, all eyes turned to Immortal Venerable Tianfeng.

Lu Chen already proved his ability to identify people, which required no further commentary.

Elder Chenlan looked at Immortal Venerable Tianfeng and said, "Elder Tianfeng, do you have anything else to say?"

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng clenched his fists, his aura burst forth fiercely; they have revealed this much, there's no need to pretend any longer.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng then said, "Elder Chenlan, do you think you can please Lu Chen and flatter Xiyue Immortal Emperor by doing this?"

Seeing Immortal Venerable Tianfeng no longer continue to argue, the Immortal Venerables present immediately heightened their vigilance.

"Back then, to eliminate Lu Chen, the Heavenly Splendor Hall united major forces in the Southern Domain to besiege Lu Chen, driving him into the Chaotic Sea. Though I don't know what he endured there, his life in the Chaotic Sea must've been difficult, and he alone returned to Tianyan Immortal Domain."

"You've heard that he's someone who deeply cares about his women, those he treasures died in the Chaotic Sea. Do you genuinely think he bears no grudge against the Heavenly Splendor Hall?"

"How laughable, lived countless eras, immortal yet still so naive."

"Once the Heavenly Splendor Hall truly goes to the Eastern Domain, it shall cease to exist, and none present here will escape!"

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Tianfeng's words, the Immortal Venerables fell silent, an uncertain feeling stirred within them.

Indeed, Lu Chen returned, but those he loved perished in the Chaotic Sea, and Heavenly Splendor Hall caused it all; to say Lu Chen bears no resentment towards Heavenly Splendor Hall seems unrealistic.

So, Lu Chen likely might retaliate against Heavenly Splendor Hall.

Right then, Lu Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Immortal Venerable Tianfeng, you are quite good at inciting actions. You're right, I do resent the Heavenly Splendor Hall."

"But for me, Heavenly Splendor Hall joining Eastern Domain maximizes my benefits, and besides, my wives aren't dead."

"Moreover, I've long told Taihua Immortal Venerable that even if I retaliate, I'd only target those who advocated action against me back then."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Qingming Immortal Venerable promptly asked, "Lu, is this true?"

Many Immortal Venerables had intended to recruit Lu Chen, recognizing his unparalleled talent in this era, and being the most likely to become an Immortal Emperor.

Though ultimately, the decision was made by Star River Immortal Venerable, prompted by both Immortal Venerable Tianfeng and Wuya Immortal Venerable; he feared that once someone became Emperor Cheng, the Qi Fortune of Tianyan Immortal Domain wouldn't be enough to give rise to another Immortal Emperor, blocking his path, and thus chose to act against Lu Chen, intending to nip the prodigy in the bud.

However, none expected Lu Chen to venture into the Chaotic Sea with his wives, and unexpectedly, he survived.

Lu Chen said, "Indeed, it's true, Xiyue Immortal Emperor is my Dao partner, your joining will enhance the Qi Fortune of the Eastern Domain, and elevate Xiyue Immortal Emperor's strength."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's explanation, the Immortal Venerables also relaxed a bit, since Xiyue Immortal Emperor is Lu Chen's Dao partner; if she avenged him, none would escape unscathed.

Nonetheless, Lu Chen's reasoning was sound; their joining would boost Eastern Domain's Qi Fortune, and since they weren't the ones who advocated Lu Chen's removal, Lu Chen indeed had no need to eliminate them entirely.
