In Chen Yuan's view, since it was Beiming Xue who went to seek that map, the Heavenly Demon Hall must be aware of something. Of course, he also understands that the secret on the map might have already been deciphered by the Heavenly Demon Hall.

After all, several years have passed since the Primordial Void Realm was opened.

Beiming Xue shook her head:

"Back then, the reason I went to the Primordial Void Realm was because I discovered that within the realm, the Daoist of Transformation had once obtained an Immortal Fate, and he might have secrets about the Immortal Domain."

As for within the hall, after the map was handed over to the Hall Master, there was no feedback. I thought it might not be that significant."

"Immortal Domain....."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat interesting.

But that was all. To an ordinary Martial Artist, they might have heard of the existence of the Immortal Domain by chance, thus harboring aspirations. But to Chen Yuan,

the Immortal Domain was merely an enemy, and not the idyllic place ordinary Martial Artists yearn for.

He casually put down the map. He didn't value it much to begin with, and he certainly wouldn't waste his Spirit on trivial matters. He could always ask Moluo when he had the time.

If even he doesn't recognize it, then it might just be someone's prank.

"Rest now."

Chen Yuan looked at Beiming Xue and said.

Beiming Xue nodded, put down the curtain, and then, without hesitation, removed her clothes, her fragrant shoulders exposed, her skin fairer than snow, and lay step by step on the bed, whispering,

"Your Highness, please be gentle with me...."

...

...

The next morning.

Chen Yuan rose early from the bed, rubbing his sore waist, feeling refreshed and comfortable all over. He greeted the resting Beiming Xue, then entered the secret chamber to cultivate.

And Beiming Xue also got up early to pay respects to Su Ziyue, the King Yan's principal wife.

Previously, she was the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Hall and could act with impunity, but now she was sent by the Heavenly Demon Hall as a tool for alliance to Chen Yuan, so naturally she had to adjust her attitude.

Su Ziyue didn't say much. In fact, she was quite pleased with such matters, gladly accepting Beiming Xue, a new sister to the Prince Mansion.

Since that time nearly encountering danger at Zhen Nan Pass, Chen Yuan didn't allow her to show her face or clash with those various factions but only managed other affairs from the Prince Mansion.

Chen Yuan was disengaged, so the responsibilities naturally fell on her, yet she wasn't too busy. After all, the various Government offices under the Prince Mansion weren't just sitting idle.

She only needed to make some decisions.

Hence, her days were quite leisurely.

She especially loved to mentor the concubines in the Prince Mansion. Nowadays, most of them have been groomed by her, getting along as sisters, which she found somewhat mundane.

Now with someone new, she could spend her time more engagingly.

That day, the Chi Lian Demon Venerable arrived.

Because Chen Yuan was still cultivating, it was Su Ziyue who greeted this infamous Demon Lord. But surprisingly, the Chi Lian Demon Venerable wasn't as fierce as rumored, not exactly docile, but rather amiable.

Su Ziyue was a bit puzzled at first but soon figured out the intricacies. To the ordinary Martial Artist, the Chi Lian Demon Venerable is indeed terrifyingly fierce and brutal.

But facing a force stronger than the Heavenly Demon Hall, her arrogance, unless foolish, must be restrained.

In the contemporary Yan Army, a simple Refining God True Master really is not remarkable.

Chi Lian Demon Venerable seemed aware of her purpose, remaining relatively silent. Yet, she still remained courteous to Su Ziyue, and after exchanging pleasantries, she excused herself, following Beiming Xue into a room.

"Chi Niang, why are you here?"

Beiming Xue was very surprised, finding it odd. The sudden arrival of a Demon Venerable caught her off guard, causing her to suspect Dongfang Sheng's scheming.

Chi Lian Demon Venerable paused for a moment and then narrated her reasons piece by piece.

After listening, Beiming Xue felt unsteady, her mind seemed to explode, as Chen Yuan unexpectedly took a liking to Chi Lian Demon Venerable, specifically requesting her to come to the Prince Mansion.

How absurd it indeed is!

To know, the two of them are as close as mother and daughter, and if... does it not turn into... this... this is simply unacceptable!

"The Hall Master didn't deceive you, did he?"

Beiming Xue asked with some suspicion.

"Oh, you've stopped addressing me as Master?" Chi Lian Demon Venerable looked at Beiming Xue with a half-smile.

And she merely gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"Is there a Master who marries off disciples? From now on.... there's nothing left of the master-disciple bond."

"You need to understand, the Heavenly Demon Hall is still your backing."

"That, I understand."

"The Hall Master probably didn't mean to deceive me. He didn't force me to come, but his implications were clear, which is to use us both to deepen ties with Chen Yuan."

"What do you think, Chi Niang?"

"Does it matter what I think? The Hall Master and Chen Yuan aren't entities we can afford to offend. I'm just a bit disappointed with the Hall Master. I did so much for the Heavenly Demon Hall, and they discard me just like that, even claiming not to compel...."

Chi Lian Demon Venerable let out a cold snort.

"I feel something might be amiss. From my observations, King Yan isn't one driven by lust, likely it's the Hall Master pushing us to be sent away."

Sadness flashed in Beiming Xue's eyes.

"What kind of person is Chen Yuan.... King Yan?" Chi Lian Demon Venerable suddenly asked.

"A decent person, more like a formidable hero."

"How is he treating you?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean, have you... you know.... had that...."
