Chapter 1308: King Guangren Lu Jingfu's Confusion
After gaining the support of Blood Eagle Hall, Lu Jingfu no longer felt threatened by any rumors.
The subordinate said at this time, "The rumors say that the King colluded with various major powers back then to kill the Chen King."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingfu was momentarily taken aback.
It's been over a billion years, how could someone be spreading this news? It didn't seem like a threat to him, right?
Although he indeed was the one who originally framed Lu Chen, saying that Lu Chen wanted to rebel, because even back then Lu Chen was already at the Immortal King Realm, while their father was only at the Immortal King Realm, all he did was say a few words to his father, and his father believed that the Chen King wanted to rebel.
He was indeed the one who did it, but he couldn't understand why bringing up old matters had no effect on him at all, let alone that the Chen King was already dead. Why would the person fueling this rumor bring it up?
At this crucial moment of the royal succession, he couldn't believe that the other party would spread rumors that had no impact on him. Could it be that they wanted to suggest he colluded with external forces to harm his own family, trying to use this method to alienate him from those Immortal King powerhouses in the royal family?
Don't be ridiculous, those old guys in the royal family aren't unaware of what happened back then, even though he did say some bad things about Lu Chen in front of their father, it was actually their father who wanted to destroy Lu Chen.
With Lu Chen's talents, breaking through to the Immortal King Realm was only a matter of time. Back then, their father showed no signs of a breakthrough. When a son's power surpasses the father's, especially in the royal family, it's uncertain what might happen, so it was their father who truly wanted Lu Chen dead.
After gathering his thoughts, Lu Jingfu said, "Send someone immediately to investigate who exactly is spreading this news and what their purpose is."
"Yes, my King!"
After the subordinate left, Lu Jingfu once again fell into deep thought.
He thought for a long time but still couldn't understand the real purpose of the other party's actions.
After all, Lu Chen had been dead for over a billion years. If this news spread, people would just treat it as a joke.
Meanwhile.
An immortal ship was rapidly moving away from Shangsha City, below was an endless Desert Sea.
Cao Shiyun stood on the deck of the immortal ship, gazing at the distant Desert Sea.
In a room inside the immortal ship, Xiao Xueying was embracing Lu Chen, her face flushed with shyness as she said, "Junior Brother, Senior Sister is still outside."
Xiao Xueying had just entered the room intending to ask Lu Chen where they were headed next, but Lu Chen pulled her into his arms, kissing and touching her, and she naturally understood what Lu Chen was trying to do.
Although she was already used to such things, if Lu Chen wanted it, she would naturally agree, but since Cao Shiyun was outside, if something really happened between the two of them, Cao Shiyun would definitely hear.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Senior Sister Cao already knows about us, it's fine."
Since they had already been discovered, they might as well be bold.
Xiao Xueying hesitated and said, "You're right, but..."
Doing such a thing was no issue, but she was afraid she couldn't control herself, and if the sounds reached Cao Shiyun's ears, it would be too embarrassing.
At this moment, Lu Chen, holding Xiao Xueying's body, moved to the bed, gently laying her down and then pressed against her lightly.
"Senior Sister, leaving the Desert Sea will take some time, the spiritual energy in the Desert Sea is thin, unsuitable for cultivation, there's nothing else to do."
Swayed by Lu Chen's words, Xiao Xueying eventually agreed, after all, this was the man she loved dearly, she really couldn't refuse him.
Xiao Xueying said, "Alright, then."
Seeing Xiao Xueying agree, Lu Chen leaned down and captured her lips.
Meanwhile, on the deck of the immortal ship, Cao Shiyun stood for a while and then prepared to return to the cabin to cultivate.
Although there's not much spiritual energy in the Desert Sea, she had a lot of spirit stones with her, enough to maintain her cultivation for a while.
Moreover, she wasn't cultivating to break through but to stabilize that feeling of breakthrough, so that once she reached a place rich in spiritual energy, she could directly break through.
However, just as Cao Shiyun reentered the cabin, she heard Xiao Xueying's voice coming from one of the rooms. From the tone, it was clear Xiao Xueying was trying her best to keep her voice down, but their rooms on the immortal ship didn't have a sound insulation array, so no matter how much she tried, it was still clearly audible in the hallway.

"Ah... Junior Brother... I can't..."
"Junior Brother... Senior Sister is still outside..."
"Uh uh..."
...
Cao Shiyun was slightly stunned.
Her heart rippled once again, from the voice of Xiao Xueying, she could tell Xiao Xueying was extremely happy right now.
For a moment, Cao Shiyun's heart was also affected, a hint of longing surged in her, but she quickly suppressed this thought.
Cao Shiyun then used her immortal power to plug her ears, went back to her room, and continued cultivating.
A month later.
Frost City.
Frost City is situated atop a glacier, with an underground spirit vein containing the power of ice and snow, leaving the area around Frost City enveloped in snow all year round.
However, despite this, Frost City remained prosperous. Although it was impossible to grow crops, the thick spiritual energy attracted cultivators who favored the place, and some immortals would also make a stop in Frost City, turning it into a city predominantly inhabited by cultivators.
Outside Frost City were parked over a dozen immortal ships, and when Lu Chen and his group approached Frost City, they immediately sensed the aura of immortals emanating from those ships. However, most of those immortals were merely mortal immortals.
At this moment, two immortals approached Lu Chen's immortal ship, "Greetings to the Upper Sect envoys!"
"May we know the purpose of the Upper Sect envoys' visit here?"
Lu Chen and Xiao Xueying were still in the middle of their business; after hearing the voices from outside the immortal ship, they paused in surprise.
Fortunately, Cao Shiyun had completed her cultivation and came to the deck of the immortal ship.
Cao Shiyun glanced at the immortals before her and said, "We're just here for a temporary stay."
Hearing Cao Shiyun's words, He Shuwen, the City Lord of Frost City, said, "I will arrange accommodations for the envoys."
Places like Frost City frequently had immortal visitors, and envoys from Mysterious Moon Palace occasionally came to inspect, so He Shuwen had long been adept at hosting envoys.
Unlike in Sky Wolf City and Shangsha City, Lu Chen and his companions didn't encounter any issues this time. They smoothly entered Frost City and settled into a spiritually abundant courtyard arranged by City Lord He Shuwen.
This courtyard had a well directly linked to the underground spirit vein, making the spiritual energy in this courtyard denser than in other places, enhancing cultivation efficiency compared to elsewhere.
Cao Shiyun chose a room, set up a formation, and began her closed-door cultivation, preparing for a breakthrough.
Upon arriving in Frost City, Lu Chen and Xiao Xueying didn't continue their activities further because, during the breakthrough of an immortal, potentially dangerous situations could occur, so they both stayed in the courtyard to guard and support Cao Shiyun.
