Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Hearing Xiao Xueying's words, Lu Chen came to his senses, "Hmm, there is indeed something strange."

Cao Shiyun said, "Junior Brother, did you perform a soul search on that person just now?"

After feeling the fear brought by that power, Cao Shiyun speculated whether Yang Yan could be a spy planted by the Blood Eagle Hall.

Lu Chen replied, "No, I was just about to use the Soul Searching Technique on him, but his Divine Soul directly self-destructed."

Cao Shiyun said somewhat regretfully, "It seems like his Divine Soul was restricted by someone."

"He was likely another undercover from the Blood Eagle Hall."

Xiao Xueying said, "This person shouldn't be a spy planted by the Blood Eagle Hall, right? With the Spirit Vein of Shangsha City exhausted and Spiritual Energy scarce, it's of no value. If the Blood Eagle Hall were to plant spies, they wouldn't put them in this place."

Lu Chen said, "He is not necessarily a spy for the Blood Eagle Hall."

Although Yang Yan also emitted Evil Qi, his memory stopped being readable after seeing the giant coffin, indicating that the Evil Qi on him likely came from that coffin.

Of course, it's also possible that Yang Yan has already joined the Blood Eagle Hall, after all, both Yang Yan and those Immortals from the Blood Eagle Hall are Evil Immortals.

But Xiao Xueying was right, if Yang Yan really were an undercover agent, why would he come to a place like Shangsha City to be a spy?

Lu Chen said, "The person is already dead, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion. Maybe we can find something related to his identity there."

After saying this, Lu Chen took the two women straight to the City Lord's Mansion of Shangsha City. Enjoying the story? Find more at MV-LEMPYR.

The cultivators of Shangsha City had all sensed the battle just now. The terrifying power made them very fearful, yet at the same time, they hoped that Yang Yan could be defeated by the outsider Immortals.

After returning to Shangsha City, Lu Chen transmitted his voice to everyone in the city.

"The Evil Immortal Yang Yan is dead, the Family Heads of all aristocratic families in Shangsha City, come to the City Lord's Mansion immediately."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the cultivators felt both happy and worried. They were happy that the Evil Immortal Yang Yan was finally dead, but worried that the arriving Immortals might be of the same ilk as Yang Yan.

Despite their concerns, the Aristocratic Family Heads of Shangsha City immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion. The new Immortal, capable of killing Yang Yan in such a short time, must be much stronger than Yang Yan. Whatever he planned to do, these cultivation families could not resist.

Lu Chen used Divine Thought to carefully search the entire City Lord's Mansion and soon discovered a secret chamber.

Upon entering the secret chamber, one could see the bones of cultivators everywhere, along with some wailing spirits.

Lu Chen searched the chamber, and apart from bones and spirits, he found nothing else.

These things alone couldn't prove any connection between Yang Yan and the Blood Eagle Hall.

Lu Chen thought that Yang Yan came to a place like Shangsha City, with its exhausted Spirit Vein, probably to avoid attracting attention.

After all, he was an Evil Immortal. If righteous Immortals discovered him using the essence blood of cultivators to sustain his life, they would certainly take action against him.

Such a place as Shangsha City, almost devoid of Immortals, and where ordinary cultivators found it difficult to escape from, was very suitable for him to hide.

The Desert Sea outside Shangsha City was even larger than the surface area of Jupiter; stretching as far as the eye could see was just yellow sand. Cultivators entering it were likely to lose their way, and there were other dangers within the Desert Sea. Many cultivators had attempted to escape, only to die in the Desert Sea.

After searching the City Lord's Mansion of Shangsha City, Lu Chen arrived at the City Lord's Hall, where the Family Heads of the major aristocratic families were already waiting.

Amidst the anxieties of the crowd, Lu Chen entered the hall and glanced around at everyone. Most of these Family Heads present were Tribulation Crossing Cultivators, just a step away from becoming Mortal Immortals.

Sweeping a glance at everyone present, Lu Chen said, "The Evil Immortal has been eliminated. I will stay in Shangsha City for a while, during which I will select someone to be the new City Lord of Shangsha City."

Upon hearing this, the Family Head of the Zhang Family asked, "Master, after becoming the City Lord, can we leave Shangsha City and go to other cities?"

In response to this question, Lu Chen asked back, "What you want to know is whether you can leave Shangsha City, right?"

When Yang Yan was the City Lord, he feared the cultivators of Shangsha City would leak his information, so he neither allowed outsiders to enter Shangsha City nor Shangsha City's cultivators to leave.

That's why the family head of the Zhang Family wanted to know if the City Lord had the privilege of leaving Shangsha City.

"From now on, even if you are not the City Lord, no one will stop you from leaving Shangsha City if you wish."

The Spirit Vein of Shangsha City was already exhausted, if these Tribulation Crossing Cultivators wanted to break through to become Mortal Immortals, they would have to leave Shangsha City for a place rich with Spiritual Energy.

Lu Chen continued, "Moreover, I will help the new City Lord directly become an Immortal."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the eyes of everyone present lit up with excitement.

Some of them had poor talents and had been stuck at the Tribulation Crossing Stage for countless years, with some nearing the end of their lifespan. Even if they could leave Shangsha City, there was no guarantee they could breakthrough, or even if they could make it out of the Desert Sea surrounding Shangsha City.

Becoming the City Lord would eliminate the need to take risks and leave Shangsha City, which naturally stirred their excitement.

One after another, the Family Heads of various aristocratic families stepped forward.

"Master, I am willing to become the City Lord of Shangsha City!"

"Master, I too am willing to be the City Lord of Shangsha City."

"Master, our Sha Family has the longest history in Shangsha City, and our ancestors have served as City Lords here before."

...

Lu Chen said, "Since everyone wants to become the City Lord, why not follow the rules of the Cultivation World, where strength prevails."

"In a few days, I will set up an arena in the Desert Sea outside the city. Any cultivator above the Mahayana realm can participate, and whoever wins will be the new City Lord."

"That's all for today. You may return and prepare."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen's body disappeared from the spot.

After all the Family Heads of Shangsha City had departed,

Lu Chen, together with Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun, came to a courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Cao Shiyun asked, "Junior Brother Chen, how long do you plan to stay in Shangsha City?"

If it were at the beginning, Cao Shiyun would have thought that Lu Chen could stay as long as he liked. But after arriving at Shangsha City and seeing the depleted Spirit Vein, she felt continuing to stay wouldn't benefit Lu Chen's cultivation.

Lu Chen said, "A few years."

Hearing Lu Chen's response, Cao Shiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a few years wasn't too long.

For them Immortals, a few years pass in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chen then said, "Senior Sister Cao, Senior Sister Xiao, I will go and cultivate first."

The two women spoke in unison, "Alright."

After Lu Chen went to the room he chose, Cao Shiyun said to Xiao Xueying, "Junior Sister Xiao, I plan to go into seclusion for a few years. During that time, please look after Junior Brother Chen. If anything happens, wake me immediately."

Hearing Cao Shiyun's words, she was slightly taken aback.
