SWNOVELXO Chapter 1303: It's Him... He's Back!
Cao Shiyun wants to meditate?
This is a great thing.
Once she goes into meditation, won't Lu Chen and I be able to...
Thinking of the things she and Lu Chen did in Sky Wolf City, a blush appeared on Xiao Xueying's jade-like cheeks.
Seeing Xiao Xueying in a daze, Cao Shiyun asked in confusion, "Junior Sister Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Xueying snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Senior Sister, rest assured and meditate, I will take care of Junior Brother Chen."
Then Cao Shiyun instructed Xiao Xueying on some matters, and she found a secret chamber in the City Lord's Mansion to start her meditation.
Evening.
As soon as Cao Shiyun entered the secret chamber to meditate, Lu Chen's figure appeared in Xiao Xueying's room.
Feeling Lu Chen's presence, Xiao Xueying, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, opened her eyes, and seeing Lu Chen, a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Senior Sister Cao seems to be in meditation?"
Xiao Xueying softly "hmm"ed, as Lu Chen appeared in her room, how could she not know what Lu Chen intended to do next.
Without any hesitation, Lu Chen came to Xiao Xueying's bedside and sat down, then pressed Xiao Xueying under him.
...
White Feather City.
Under the dedicated management of Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang, White Feather City has grown and flourished once again.
The city's development has caught the attention of some nearby cities. This area, close to the Chaotic Sea, doesn't have any Immortal King level powers, so it's relatively chaotic.
For the cities near the Chaotic Sea, population is of utmost importance. Previously, White Feather City was always losing population, making other cities feel that White Feather City posed no threat.
But lately, the expansion of White Feather City has accelerated, and its population has grown. Many mortals who originally intended to go to other cities ended up going to White Feather City instead.
Outside White Feather City, a man dressed in a purple robe stood on the mountaintop, staring intently at White Feather City. Sample from My Virtual Library Empire—read more on M&VLEMPY&R.
At this moment, a servant who had been gathering intelligence came up to the man, "City Lord, the situation has been clarified, Lu Zhengze has not made a breakthrough; he is still just a Heavenly Immortal."
Hearing this, Jia Wenrui, the City Lord of Purple Moon City, snorted coldly, "An old man nearly in his grave, competing with me for people!"
Purple Moon City is not far from White Feather City. Previously, White Feather City's population flowed into Purple Moon City, but recently, inexplicably, White Feather City began welcoming refugees and introduced various policies to benefit the people, even providing mortals with Cultivation Techniques.
This caused refugees and cultivators who originally intended to join Purple Moon City to choose White Feather City instead.
Jia Wenrui couldn't understand what Lu Zhengze intended to do. By all accounts, Lu Zhengze was nearing death, and with no heirs between him and Liao Xiaoshuang, where was the motivation to manage White Feather City coming from?
He knew what White Feather City was like before.
Jia Wenrui suddenly thought, could it be that Lu Zhengze has made a breakthrough, extended his lifespan, broken past his limits, and that's why he has the drive to manage White Feather City and has launched a series of policies?
To clarify what was going on, Jia Wenrui had people disguise themselves as merchants to infiltrate White Feather City and gather intelligence. The result was the intelligence said Lu Zhengze hadn't made a breakthrough.
This old thing, Lu Zhengze, causing a fuss without a breakthrough!
Wait...
Jia Wenrui suddenly thought of something and turned to ask, "Is Liao Xiaoshuang pregnant?"
If they had an heir, it might also explain why Lu Zhengze has begun to run White Feather City again, since they would want to leave some resources for their child.
The spy replied, "Reporting to the lord, we haven't found any signs of Liao Xiaoshuang being pregnant."
Upon hearing the spy's answer, Jia Wenrui fell into contemplation. It's neither due to a breakthrough nor because of a child, so why is Lu Zhengze stirring up trouble?
Jia Wenrui then said, "Bring me a soldier from the City Lord's Mansion."
"Yes, City Lord."
In the next moment, the spy vanished on the spot, and Jia Wenrui's eyes remained fixed on White Feather City.
Jia Wenrui muttered to himself, "A dying person should stay in the cultivation chamber. Maybe they could live a few more years."
...
Not long after, the spy had captured a soldier from the White Feather City Lord's Mansion and brought him to Jia Wenrui, "City Lord, the person has been brought."
Sensing the aura emanating from Jia Wenrui, the White Feather City soldier immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Please spare me, senior!"
Jia Wenrui glanced at the mortal soldier before him and, without any hesitation, used the Soul Searching Technique on the soldier.
Rather than questioning this soldier, it was faster to directly search his soul.
In the next moment, Jia Wenrui saw many things in the soldier's memories.
He saw an Immortal King and a person descending from the sky.
Wait...
That person is...
When Jia Wenrui saw the person who landed at the City Lord's Mansion, his expression suddenly changed.
He seemed to understand why Lu Zhengze has been vigorously developing White Feather City recently.
Jia Wenrui mumbled to himself, "It's him... he's back!"
"How is it possible? Didn't he die? How can he still be alive?"
Jia Wenrui hadn't personally seen the person, but his grandfather and grandmother were once subordinates of the Chen King, and he had seen the appearance of the Chen King through some Projection Crystal Stones.
After waiting in White Feather City for hundreds of millions of years for the Chen King, only to see that he never emerged from the Chaotic Sea, Jia Wenrui's grandparents assumed the Chen King had perished and chose to leave White Feather City.
Leaving White Feather City was considered betrayal to the Chen King, as he had once ordered them to wait for his return in White Feather City. Jia Wenrui's panic stemmed from fears that the Chen King would settle scores with those who left.
After his initial panic, a faint smile appeared on Jia Wenrui's face.
"If it's true that he's back, many will surely be interested in this news!"
He was merely a descendant of the Chen King's old subordinates, and he had no loyalty to the Chen King.
Jia Wenrui thought to himself that if he were to sell the news of the Chen King's revival to a few people, he could obtain many resources, bringing him closer to a breakthrough.
He then said to the spy, "Keep an eye on them."
With those words, Jia Wenrui turned and left, contemplating whom he should sell the news to and how to connect with those interested in it.
In the blink of an eye.
Another two years have passed.
During these two years, under the leadership of Ye Chuyao, the Mysterious Moon Palace signed an alliance treaty with the Chiyan Sect.
The treaty states that if either the Mysterious Moon Palace or Chiyan Sect is attacked by Blood Eagle Hall, they must unconditionally assist the other in resisting Blood Eagle Hall's invasion.
This alliance treaty is merely a defensive agreement. After all, Blood Eagle Hall has three Immortal Kings, and the Immortal King of the Mysterious Moon Palace is still in seclusion. With the strength of Mysterious Moon Palace and Chiyan Sect, attacking Blood Eagle Hall would be suicidal; they would be better off strengthening their defenses, focusing on formations to fend off the Evil Immortals of Blood Eagle Hall.
At this very moment.
Mysterious Moon Palace.
Wearing a suit of blue clothing, Ye Chuyao stood at the cliff's edge, gazing towards the direction of Shangsha City.
In front of her was a blue projection screen, showing a red dot at the location of Shangsha City.
