There is a Heavenly Rank Transmission Array between the Immortal Cities of Xuanxiao Immortal Sect and White Rainbow Immortal City. In just a moment, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao appeared in White Rainbow Immortal City.
Upon arriving at White Rainbow Immortal City, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao indeed discovered that the city showed no signs of being affected by war. The entire White Rainbow Immortal City was still prosperous, and the aura of several Immortal Venerable tasked with patrolling the Sunset Mountain Range remained unchanged.
Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao's figure then flashed and appeared outside Lu Chen's courtyard.
Just as Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao arrived at the courtyard gate, the figure of White Rainbow Immortal King appeared before him.
Seeing that the visitor was Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao, White Rainbow Immortal King immediately said, "I have seen Master Xuanxiao. I wonder what important matter brings Master Xuanxiao here?"
Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao directly said, "I wish to see Lu, please inform him."
Just as White Rainbow Immortal King was about to speak, Lu Chen's voice came from inside the courtyard, "Come in."
Lu Chen had already vaguely guessed what Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao had come looking for him to do.
Now that the Azure Dragon Hall was heading toward the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, and as the Sect Master, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao was not staying at his own sect to resist the invasion. Instead, he came to him, clearly seeking aid.
As Lu Chen finished speaking, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao quickly stepped into the courtyard.
At this moment, Lu Chen sat in the pavilion in the center of the lake, leisurely sipping tea. Seeing Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao enter, Lu Chen slowly put down the teacup in his hand, "I wonder what brings Master Xuanxiao to find me today?"
Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao directly said, "I heard that you have established an Immortal Dynasty in the Barbaric lands, called the Daqin Immortal Dynasty."
Lu Chen said, "Indeed, that's the case. But why does Master Xuanxiao ask this?"
Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao immediately said, "If the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is willing to join the Daqin Immortal Dynasty as an affiliated power, would you accept?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback. He thought Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao had come to seek aid, perhaps wanting him to use the Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array to deal with the forces from the Barbaric lands.
Or perhaps to request his help as a middleman, asking those Immortal Venerables still in White Rainbow Immortal City to intervene, but he did not expect Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao to bring such a surprise.
The joint army of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty and the Mysterious Moon Palace was still in the Sunset Mountain Range, not yet entering the Barbaric lands. Although he also wanted to seize this opportunity to expand the Daqin Immortal Dynasty and capture territories, the overall strength of Daqin was inferior to those Super Forces of the Barbaric lands, so they certainly couldn't compete with those Super Forces.
For example, the Azure Dragon Hall, which had now sent its warships into the Southern Domain. As a former Overlord-level influence of the Northern Domain, if they wanted to expand their territory, it would be effortless.
Of course, Lu Chen could also directly use the Spirit Realm Crossing Array to transport the joint army of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty and Mysterious Moon Palace directly to the Southern Domain, but there would be no benefit in doing so.
Being in the Southern Domain himself, he knew the current situation there. If he transported the joint army of Daqin and Mysterious Moon Palace to the Southern Domain to lead the first assault, who knows how many people would be lost.
Now is the time when the various forces of the Southern Domain resist most fiercely, and the tougher battles should be left to Super Forces like the Azure Dragon Hall.
When the defeat in the Southern Domain becomes inevitable, it will be much easier to conquer the forces there.
As for an Immortal Sect influence like the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, which is on the frontline of resistance, Lu Chen honestly had little interest. He originally thought the forces of the Southern Domain would support the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, making it the fiercest battlefield at the start.
He then heard White Rainbow Immortal King say that Blood Eagle Hall and the Southern Domain forces had given up on the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, leaving it alone against the initial Barbaric invasion.
Hence, when Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao arrived, Lu Chen thought he had come for help.
Lu Chen was calculating what reward he might ask for, only to find that they came directly seeking allegiance.
As Lu Chen came to his senses, he chuckled lightly, "Is Master Xuanxiao joking with me?"
Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao immediately said, "You must already know that the forces of the Southern Domain have abandoned the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, intending for it to face the first wave of the Barbaric invasion alone, and that the warships of the Azure Dragon Hall have also reached the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect."
"At such a time, do you think I have any other choices, Lu?"
Lu Chen said, "The Daqin Immortal Dynasty is merely a low-level Immortal Dynasty. In terms of overall strength, your Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is much stronger than the Daqin Immortal Dynasty. Are you sure you want to bring the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect to join the Daqin Immortal Dynasty?"
Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao said, "As long as you are willing to accept, I can return and raise the flag of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty."
Lu Chen thought for a moment. He also figured out why the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect was so proactive. It was clear they felt they could not compete with the Azure Dragon Hall, so they wanted to use his name to deter them.
If the Azure Dragon Hall discovered that Xuanxiao Immortal Sect had raised the Daqin Immortal Dynasty's court flag and joined them, even if unwilling, they might choose to steer clear due to his special identity and at most pass through without taking action against Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
As for after the war, whether Xuanxiao Immortal Sect truly serves as a sincere affiliated power to the Daqin Immortal Dynasty remains uncertain.
However, Lu Chen did not care much about these matters. As long as Xuanxiao Immortal Sect joined the Daqin Immortal Dynasty and boarded his "ship," betraying them later wouldn't be easy.
Lu Chen said, "I can provide protection to Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, but let me remind you: don't think yourselves too formidable to dismiss the Daqin Immortal Dynasty."
"Once you join the Daqin Immortal Dynasty, you must henceforth obey its Immortal Orders."
Seeing Lu Chen agree, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao said excitedly, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will comply with Daqin's Immortal Orders. If Your Majesty seeks to expand in the Southern Domain, Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is willing to lead the charge."
Lu Chen said, "Very well, in that case, I will accompany you to Xuanxiao Immortal Sect."
As he spoke, Lu Chen raised his hand to create a clone, which then accompanied Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao to the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.
Meanwhile,
outside an Immortal City of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect,
the sky was covered with warships, hovering not far from the Immortal City. The city's Protective Array was fully activated, and the Immortals within felt immense fear seeing the countless warships.
Although they knew war was imminent, they never expected their city to be the first invaded. Presently, their city had only one Immortal King.
Inside the Meeting Hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the East Splendor Immortal King paced back and forth. Walking to the hall's entrance, he gazed at the distant warships before returning to the center of the hall.
He anxiously asked the generals present in the Immortal City, "Have you reported this to the Immortal Sect?"
A general replied, "City Lord, we reported it as soon as the warships appeared."
Hearing this, the East Splendor Immortal King grew even more uneasy. It had already been quite some time, yet there was no response from the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect's senior figures.
Could it be that the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect had already abandoned Donghuang Immortal City?
