Chapter 1438 - 1128: You mean to hand me over?

Lu Chen had already roughly guessed why the Yangyan Dynasty sent someone here.

At this moment, the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor continued speaking: "The Shenyue Dynasty intends to attack the Daxia Dynasty, and it won't just be the Daxia Dynasty they target. Wherever the Shenyue Army passes, devastation will surely follow—any dynasty in their path will be annihilated by the Shenyue Army."

After saying this, the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor paused for a moment, observing Lu Chen's reaction. Seeing Lu Chen deep in thought, the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor cautiously continued, "So..."

"Our Majesty's intention is that the target of the Shenyue Dynasty is that prince of theirs. If the Daxia Dynasty can hand over that prince..."

At this point, the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor paused again and glanced at Lu Chen's reaction, only to find him smiling broadly.

Deep down, the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor felt something was amiss.

Currently, very few in the universe know that the Ninth Prince of the Shenyue Dynasty is the Emperor of Daxia.

So, to some empires, the so-called Ninth Prince is merely hiding within the Daxia Dynasty, relying on the Daxia Dynasty's shelter.

If the Daxia Dynasty could hand over the Ninth Prince, the Shenyue Army wouldn't have to make a personal trip, sparing the star domains along the way from suffering because of the Shenyue Dynasty's Ninth Prince.

Of course, this is their wishful thinking. Even without Lu Chen in the picture, Lu Yanghua would initiate the war—it's simply a matter of time.

Lu Chen directly stated, "I am the Ninth Prince of the Shenyue Dynasty. Is it your intention to hand me over?"

The Silver Moon Quasi Emperor's heart skipped a beat.

It's over...

They've run into the true master.

The intelligence mentioned that the Ninth Prince of the Shenyue Dynasty merely had the cultivation state of a Saint...

Considering this, the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor glanced at Lu Chen once more. Indeed, the person before him appears to have only a Saint's cultivation state.

However, the individual could become the Emperor of a dynasty—how could he be just a Saint?

The Silver Moon Quasi Emperor promptly said, "I need to report this matter to our Majesty, so I won't disturb you further."

With that, the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor left with the dozen or so immortal boats behind him, departing in a particularly flustered manner, looking for all the world as if they were fleeing for their lives.

Watching their retreating figures, Emperor Danyang commented beside him, "Your Excellency, that person offended you; how about I eliminate them all?"

Lu Chen replied blandly, "No need, let them take the message back."

Lu Chen had already anticipated what the other empires would do next, which was to attack the Daxia Dynasty before the Shenyue Army arrives and hand him over to the Shenyue Dynasty, thereby avoiding the Shenyue Dynasty's military action against them.

An admirable thought—now we will see if they possess the strength to conquer the Daxia Dynasty before the Shenyue Army reaches their realms.

Lu Chen turned to glance at Emperor Danyang, then spoke to Jiang Qingfeng, "Take the Guiyi Sect to the Solitary Lamp Star Domain."

Jiang Qingfeng saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

As his voice faded, Lu Chen disappeared on the spot, and Emperor Danyang, with the members of the Guiyi Sect, saluted towards the void, "Farewell, Your Excellency!"

Immediately after, Jiang Qingfeng led the Guiyi Sect to the Solitary Lamp Star Domain.

Along the way, Emperor Danyang kept probing about Chu Yunzhi, considering she is the ancestor of the Guiyi Sect. The higher her status with Lu Chen, the higher Guiyi Sect's standing in the Daxia Dynasty.

Emperor Danyang smiled and politely asked, "May I know your name?"

Jiang Qingfeng quickly replied, "The junior's name is Jiang Qingfeng; you can call me Xiaojiang, elder."

Although Jiang Qingfeng wasn't particularly familiar with the Guiyi Sect, anything that could warrant a personal reception from Emperor Xia must be of significance.

Moreover, the presence of so many immortal boats behind the Guiyi Sect, coupled with the multiple Great Emperor auras he sensed, indicated that the Guiyi Sect's overall strength might be comparable to the Daxia Dynasty. In front of the sect hierarch of the Guiyi Sect, Jiang Qingfeng naturally needed to lower his posture.

Emperor Danyang didn't actually call Jiang Qingfeng Xiaojiang, as it would be somewhat inappropriate given Jiang Qingfeng was already a Quasi-Emperor.

Emperor Danyang then said, "Qingfeng, have you heard of Chu Yunzhi?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingfeng immediately said, "You mean Noble Consort Chu? The junior has definitely heard of her."

Upon hearing the term "Noble Consort," Emperor Danyang was slightly taken aback—just a Noble Consort?

Shouldn't it be Empress?

It seems her ancestor doesn't hold a high status with Lu Chen.

Emperor Danyang continued asking, "What are Your Majesty's feelings toward Noble Consort Chu?"

Jiang Qingfeng skeptically glanced at Emperor Danyang and then countered, "Why is the elder inquiring about this matter?"

Emperor Danyang replied, "Noble Consort Chu is our Guiyi Sect's ancestor, reborn again as our sect's Saintess; naturally I am concerned about her affairs."

Jiang Qingfeng said, "I see."

"Elder, no need to worry; all of His Majesty's women share loving relationships with His Majesty."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has many clones, preventing rivalry among his wives and concubines; the harem is very harmonious."

Emperor Danyang continued to inquire, "What cultivation state does the Daxia Dynasty's Empress possess?"

Jiang Qingfeng answered, "Elder, you should be asking about the Empress Dowager, right?"

Emperor Danyang asked in confusion, "Empress Dowager?"

Jiang Qingfeng explained, "Currently, the Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty is, officially, the eldest son of His Majesty; Emperor Xia is now the Overlord. However, the Heavenly Emperor, as the founder of the Daxia Dynasty, still controls the dynast qi fortune."

Emperor Danyang immediately understood, "I see, then what cultivation state does the Empress Dowager possess?"

Jiang Qingfeng saw through Emperor Danyang's intentions and quickly said, "To avoid power struggles within the harem, the Heavenly Emperor abolished the position of Empress; nowadays, only Noble Concubines and an Imperial Noble Consort exist in His Majesty's harem."

At this point, Jiang Qingfeng advised, "Elder, the Heavenly Emperor strongly dislikes interference with the throne."

Hearing this, Emperor Danyang smiled slightly, "I was just casually asking."

It was not that Emperor Danyang cared about whether Chu Yunzhi was an Empress; what concerned him was whether she might encounter trouble from those managing Lu Chen's harem.

Since Chu Yunzhi held a reasonably high status in Lu Chen's harem, he had nothing to worry about.

...

The opulent and grand hall was silent, the law manifestations of each Great Emperor stood in the center, watching the projection from the Shadowcatch Stone, displaying the scene of Silver Moon Quasi Emperor's conversation with Lu Chen in the void.

Having watched the entire interaction between Lu Chen and the Silver Moon Quasi Emperor, one Great Emperor frowned and said, "This is troublesome; who would have thought the Emperor of Daxia was actually the Ninth Prince of the Shenyue Dynasty."

Their initial plan was to force the Daxia Dynasty to hand over the Ninth Prince of the Shenyue Dynasty, so the Shenyue Dynasty wouldn't attack them.

Handing him over would naturally negate the need for the Shenyue Dynasty to dispatch troops to such marginal places as theirs.

They believed that by banding together, their ten dynasties could easily intimidate the Daxia Dynasty.

However, if the Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty was Lu Chen, that changed everything.

Lu Chen surely knew the Shenyue Dynasty sought to kill him, so he would inevitably resist desperately.

At this moment, the Yangyan Emperor of the Yangyan Dynasty coldly hummed and said, "Since he himself is the emperor, there's nothing to discuss; prepare for war!"
