Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1289 - 979: Luo Yuan’s Defection

Chapter 1289 -979: Luo Yuan’s Defection

Hearing the words of the Jinyiwei Guard, Lu Chen paused for a moment.

A cultivator from the Shenyue Dynasty?

Could it be that his own affairs had already been known by Emperor Shenwu?

If that was the case, then he might be facing a major trouble next.

Emperor Shenwu sent his children out for trials primarily to select the best Reincarnation candidate, and now that he himself had advanced to the Saint Realm, Emperor Shenwu would definitely have designs on his body.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen said to the Jinyiwei Guard, “Did the other party say what they wanted to see me for?”

The Jinyiwei Guard answered, “That person said they have important information to report to Your Majesty.”

Lu Chen thought for a while, then decided to see what the other party wanted with him, and then said, “Where is that person now?”

The Jinyiwei Guard replied, “In the Skyfire World.”

Lu Chen turned his head to look at Lu Huanhuan with a smile, “Huanhuan, your father has other matters and must leave first.”

Lu Huanhuan said, “Mhm, I bid farewell to father emperor.”

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen waved his hand and arrived in front of the transmission gate; shortly after, he and Bai Qingqing passed through the gate and headed to the Skyfire World.

Skyfire World.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Within the Hundred Flowers Garden, Mu Zhengqing sat in a pavilion, his eyes fixated on Luo Yuan, who was sitting opposite him.

This individual had intercepted a patrol starship of the Daxia Dynasty a few days ago, claiming to have important matters to inform the Heavenly Emperor.

Initially, the War Dragon Army did not take it seriously; in this day and age, even the War Dragon Army seldom had the opportunity to meet the Heavenly Emperor. A person coming out of nowhere, having intercepted a patrol starship of the War Dragon Army wishing to meet the Heavenly Emperor—it’s not that easy.

Later, seeing that the soldiers of the War Dragon Army were indifferent, the man voluntarily stated another identity of the Heavenly Emperor and said he had news from the Shenyue Dynasty to relay to the Heavenly Emperor, warning that if the news was delayed, the responsibility would be on them should the Heavenly Emperor cast blame.

As it happened, there were individuals from the Black Dragon Holy Land on that patrol starship, and the person from the Black Dragon Holy Land had some understanding of Lu Chen’s past life identity. Once this man revealed Lu Chen’s past life identity, the Holy Land’s individual took the matter seriously and immediately reported the information to the Jinyiwei.

Ultimately, he got his wish and arrived at the Imperial Palace of the Imperial City.

At this moment, Mu Zhengqing spoke, “I’m quite curious, who exactly are you?”

Luo Yuan calmly responded, “Before the Heavenly Emperor arrives, I will not answer any of your questions.”

Seeing that Luo Yuan was unwilling to speak, Mu Zhengqing no longer bothered to ask; after all, this involved matters pertaining to the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor would be arriving soon, and before that, he just needed to watch this person and prevent any shenanigans.

A moment later, two figures appeared in the Hundred Flowers Garden, and at the moment Lu Chen appeared, Luo Yuan immediately felt the Saint pressure emanating from Lu Chen.

Luo Yuan’s mind was startled, Lu Chen had actually become a Saint. In this case, the position of the Crown Prince was almost guaranteed for Lu Chen. Indeed, his choice was wise; if he had continued to stay by Lu Yanghua’s side, his end would have been much like that of Kuang Yan.

What followed would depend on Lu Chen’s attitude.

After Lu Chen entered the Hundred Flowers Garden, he glanced at Luo Yuan, recalling the memories of his past life and recognized Luo Yuan instantly.

In his past life in the Shenyue Dynasty, he had met Luo Yuan several times and knew that Luo Yuan was from Lu Yanghua’s entourage.

Lu Chen directly asked, “Commander Luo, if my memory serves me correctly, you should be someone from my Fifth Imperial Brother’s side, right?”

Hearing this question, Luo Yuan hurriedly stood up and knelt on one knee on the ground, paying his respects to Lu Chen and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Luo Yuan did not directly address Lu Chen’s identity from the Shenyue Dynasty. Lu Chen had already established an empire in this remote land, and if Luo Yuan directly addressed Lu Chen’s previous identity, it might very well displease Lu Chen.

Lu Chen then asked, “Could it be that my good imperial brother sent you to deliver a message to me?”

Luo Yuan said, “Your Majesty, I have specifically come to pledge allegiance to you.”

Hearing Luo Yuan’s words, Lu Chen was taken aback. Pledge allegiance to him?

Luo Yuan was Lu Yanghua’s trusted aide; to be a trusted aide of Lu Yanghua meant that Luo Yuan’s Lifeblood Essence was surely in Lu Yanghua’s hands. Yet Luo Yuan dared to come and pledge allegiance to him?

Lu Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, he then said, “Commander Luo, do you know what you are saying?”

“You are a trusted aide of my Fifth Imperial Brother, and you run to pledge allegiance to me, do you think I can trust you?”

Just as Luo Yuan was about to say something, Lu Chen spoke again, “Moreover, your Lifeblood Essence should be in his hands as well. You dare to flee and pledge allegiance to me; aren’t you afraid that my Fifth Imperial Brother will find out and just get rid of you?”

Luo Yuan said, “Perhaps Your Majesty is not aware, Emperor Shenwu has already decreed that whoever breaks through to the Saint Realm first will be the Crown Prince of the Shenyue Dynasty.”

“Now that Your Majesty has already broken through and become a Saint, you will be the next ruler of the Shenyue Dynasty. I have been in the Daxia Dynasty for some time; I have heard that by Your Majesty’s side, there is a Protector of Emperor Level. If Your Majesty is willing to accept my allegiance, just your Protector making a move would render my Lifeblood Essence no longer a threat to my life.”

This…

Lu Chen was startled once again. He thought Luo Yuan had lost his mind suddenly coming to pledge allegiance to him, but it seems Luo Yuan believed that Lu Yanghua was out of the running, and thus he wanted to switch allegiances.

Having regained his composure, Lu Chen laughed lightly and said, “To have an Emperor Level Protector make a move for you, do you think you are worth it?”

Luo Yuan said, “Your subordinate holds many secrets of the Fifth Prince, especially the things the Fifth Prince has done against Your Majesty, which I believe Your Majesty would be interested in.”

At the moment, Lu Chen was in the Daxia Dynasty and wasn’t very familiar with the affairs of the Shenyue Dynasty. Although after Chu Yunzhi and Chu Yuqin’s Divine Senses connected, he could get some information about the Shenyue Dynasty through Chu Yuqin.

On one hand, he and Chu Yunzhi had not fully disclosed their positions. He still pretended not to know about the Divine Sense connection between Chu Yunzhi and Chu Yuqin. Moreover, since Chu Yunzhi has always stayed in the Daxia Imperial Palace, she was not particularly aware of what was happening outside the palace. Even if he disclosed everything to Chu Yunzhi, she could not provide much intelligence.

Especially regarding the movements of his several brothers.

Luo Yuan could be a decent chess piece.

Lu Chen then said, “I must say, your words have moved me, so I shall accept your allegiance.”

Seeing Lu Chen agree, Luo Yuan felt joy in his heart.

Just at that moment, before Luo Yuan could continue to say anything, Lu Chen suddenly raised his hand, and a green force was constantly moving on it.

The next moment, this green force directly converged into Luo Yuan’s body. Luo Yuan was startled, thinking that Lu Chen had regretted his decision and wanted to eliminate him, but the next moment he realized that he had misunderstood.

As the green force entered his body, the Lifeblood Essence within him started to recover, which completely astounded Luo Yuan.

What kind of power was this that it could revive his own Lifeblood Essence?

If it were the Emperor who possessed such capabilities, he might not be so surprised. After all, he chose to pledge allegiance to Lu Chen because there was an Emperor Level Protector behind him. Yet Lu Chen had managed to restore the Lifeblood Essence within him without using that Protector.

The Evergreen Longevity Technique of Lu Chen, which could even revive a remnant soul, let alone mere Lifeblood Essence. Since the Lifeblood Essence was lost, why not create another drop? In this way, the previously bound Lifeblood Essence would become ineffective.
