Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the warships outside Donghuang Immortal City, East Splendor Immortal King knew there must be an Immortal Venerable on those ships.

He was merely an Immortal King. Although Donghuang Immortal City had a formation for protection, if the Immortal Venerable made a move, the city's defense formation probably wouldn't last long.

Could it be that surrendering is the only option?

He could surrender, but the other party might not accept.

The resources within the Tianyan Immortal Domain were limited, and in the early stages of any war, the attackers needed to kill some people; partly to intimidate the resisting forces, and partly to reduce the population and, thus, the competition.

Moreover, if he truly betrayed the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, he might be dealt with by the upper echelons of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect before he could turn to the invaders.

Just when the East Splendor Immortal King was anxious and uneasy, the aura of an Immortal Venerable appeared within Donghuang Immortal City.

The East Splendor Immortal King was momentarily stunned, as this Immortal Venerable's aura appeared directly within the Immortal City, indicating that someone from the Immortal Sect had arrived.

The East Splendor Immortal King was immediately overjoyed and said to the present City Guard Army leaders, "A distinguished guest has arrived, follow me to pay respects immediately."

Right after speaking, the East Splendor Immortal King led the leaders from the City Lord's Mansion to the Transmission Array.

Upon arriving at the plaza where the Transmission Array was located, they discovered that the visitor was not a special envoy from the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, nor an ordinary Elder, but the Sect Master himself.

Seeing that Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao had personally come, the East Splendor Immortal King hurriedly approached Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao said calmly, "You've worked hard, leave everything to me next."

Saying this, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao looked at Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, what does the banner of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty look like?"

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao's words, the leaders of Donghuang Immortal City were all stunned.

Your Majesty???

What Your Majesty?

Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao was the Sect Master of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect; how could he address someone else as Your Majesty? Even if it were an Immortal Emperor from some Immortal Dynasty, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao would only address them as "so-and-so Immortal Emperor" in his presence.

Addressing someone as Your Majesty actively implied that Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao's status was lower than that of the person before him.

The people of Donghuang Immortal City cast a glance at Lu Chen, noticing that he was only at the Immortal Monarch Realm.

An Immortal Monarch, whose cultivation state was not even as high as the City Lord of Donghuang Immortal City, how could he bear such a title from Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao?

Even though they were puzzled, the East Splendor Immortal King didn't inquire directly, believing that their Sect Master had his reasons for acting so.

At this moment, Lu Chen raised his hand, and a celestial force was released from his fingertips. In the next second, a massive banner appeared in the sky above Donghuang Immortal City, with the word "Qin" in the center.

The anomaly in the sky above Donghuang Immortal City immediately caught the attention of Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable on the warships of Azure Dragon Hall. Seeing the word "Qin," Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable frowned, having an ominous premonition.

He didn't know that it was the banner of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty, but seeing a banner representing another force in the territory of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect indicated that the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect might have already changed hands.

They were preparing to attack the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, and the sect changed hands at the same time, and moreover, to a force unknown to them; something suspicious was afoot.

Just as Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable was about to send someone to investigate, a familiar voice came from above, "Dragon Soaring Hall Master, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Did you know the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has already belonged to the Daqin Immortal Dynasty, and you came to ask for passage?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable was instantly furious.

He had a bad feeling when he saw the "Qin" character; it turned out this "Qin" was the "Qin" of the Daqin.

The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect had already been snapped up by the Daqin Immortal Dynasty?

How did Lu Chen accomplish this?

The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect's strength was even greater than that of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty; how could it willingly become a subordinate power of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty?

Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable coldly said, "Lu, your tactics are indeed brilliant; the great army of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty hasn't even entered the Southern Domain, and you have seized an immortal sect without shedding a drop of blood!"

Lu Chen's voice then came, "Not at all, it's purely good luck."

At this point, the Immortal Venerables of the Azure Dragon Hall could no longer stay silent. An Immortal Venerable stood in front of Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable and said, "Hall Master, are we simply going to hand over the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect?"

"The Daqin Immortal Dynasty's army has not arrived yet, and the other Barbaric Powers are still on their way; maybe we should..."

The Immortal Venerable hesitated, believing that Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable understood his meaning.

Hearing the Immortal Venerable's words, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable fell silent for a moment. To give up the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect just like that really made him somewhat unwilling.

But considering Lu Chen's special nature, he might play a significant role in the final battle between Barbaric and the Southern Domain; offending Lu Chen wouldn't necessarily benefit the Azure Dragon Hall.

They still didn't know the Blood Ancestor's true strength. Although they suspected the Blood Ancestor was merely an Immortal Emperor nearing the end of his lifespan with significantly weakened power, an Immortal Emperor is, after all, an Immortal Emperor. Barbaric might need to rely on Lu Chen's Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array to defeat the Blood Ancestor.

Lu Chen's importance was undeniable.

Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable coldly said, "Immortal Emperor Qin, the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is stronger than your Daqin Immortal Dynasty; be careful not to bite off more than you can chew."

Although he knew he couldn't completely offend Lu Chen, being outmaneuvered twice by him left Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable fuming. He wouldn't feel right without throwing some sarcasm Lu Chen's way.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Thank you for the warning, Dragon Soaring Hall Master, I will certainly be mindful."

Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable coldly snorted again and said, "Since the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has already belonged to the Daqin Immortal Dynasty, as Barbaric powers, I presume Immortal Emperor Qin would allow us to pass through?"

The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect controlled many Immortal Cities, and their territory was vast. Detouring would waste a lot of time.

Since now the Daqin Immortal Dynasty is nominally a subordinate power of the Hidden Moon Sect, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable didn't believe Lu Chen would refuse their passage request.

Lu Chen said, "Of course, but I hope Dragon Soaring Hall Master can manage the people of Azure Dragon Hall well, so as not to perform actions detrimental to harmony."

Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable no longer bothered to waste words with Lu Chen, and directly commanded his many Immortal Venerables, "Press on! Also, instruct everyone, the people of Azure Dragon Hall are not to cause trouble in the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect!"

Although the Immortal Venerables of Azure Dragon Hall were full of resentment, since Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable gave the orders, they couldn't say much more.

Besides, they understood why their Hall Master didn't want to completely offend Lu Chen at this point.

Thus, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable continued onwards with Azure Dragon Hall's warships, heading east towards the Southern Domain.

Seeing the warships that blotted out the sky distancing themselves from Donghuang Immortal City, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao let out a slight sigh of relief; in this way, this calamity for the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect seemed to have passed.
