My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 542: I’m Here to Help You
"That's right, it's me!" Chen Feng smiled confidently after hearing her words. "I didn't expect my reputation to be so widespread, even Cloudy Sky City Lord knows my name. Could it be that you've taken a liking to me?" Luo Ying was undeniably beautiful, but her demeanor was far too cold for his tastes.
Moreover, having just received guidance from Gu Lan and learned the Immortal Execution sword array, his mind was entirely focused on cultivation. He had no room for distractions like love.
"City Lord Luo Ying, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm already dedicated to the Dao. I can't afford to get involved in matters of the heart," Chen Feng politely declined.
As soon as he said that, several male cultivators in the room looked furious. They had seen shameless people before, but none like this. If they weren't unsure of Chen Feng's strength, they might have attacked him on the spot.
"Chen Feng, born in the Earthly Realm, trained under Gu Lan, head of Lanyan Royal School, and later ascended to the Immortal Realm to become the chosen one of the Temple of Destiny. Elder Nightfall holds you in high regard," Luo Ying remarked, cutting to the chase. "Despite being only at the fourth stage of the Imperial Realm, Elder Nightfall still entrusted you with the Temple's greatest treasure, the Libra of Fate. It seems the rumors are true."
Luo Ying's analysis of Chen Feng's methods left him momentarily stunned. He glanced at the war-armored beauty before him and realized that she was no ordinary person. This sensation was one he'd only ever experienced in the presence of his martial master's wife and Miss Shangguan—a woman destined for greatness.

"The Libra of Fate allows one to traverse the river of time, making it a priceless tool for temporal travel. But given your cultivation, you can probably only use it for accelerated training and simple teleportation," Luo Ying continued. "If I were to seal the space here, how confident are you that you could escape?"
The moment her words fell, Chen Feng felt a powerful restriction tighten around him. Yet he remained calm. He patted the sword case on his back, and a surge of sword energy shot into the sky, shattering the space around him.
"Impressive sword!" Luo Ying exclaimed. "This sword case doesn't come from the Temple of Destiny, does it? I suppose it must be the work of the head of Lanyan Royal School?"
Luo Ying's admiration didn't surprise Chen Feng. "City Lord Luo Ying has sharp eyes—this was indeed a gift from my master!"
"With this sword case in hand, even though your cultivation is far below ours, it would still be difficult to stop you," Chen Feng said confidently. The treasure from Gu Lan was a lifesaver. The case housed 9,990 divine-grade flying swords, each imbued with spatial attributes, making it a perfect tool for breaking through barriers and fleeing. Not only did it ensure quick escapes, but it also looked cool on his back. What more could he ask for?
After receiving such a magnificent gift, Chen Feng had eagerly accepted the task of aiding Cloudy Sky City. "Oh right! I'm here to help Cloudy Sky City!" Chen Feng suddenly remembered his mission. He quickly retracted his sword case and spoke more seriously. "I've come to help you all overcome this crisis!"
"You? Help us?" one of the cultivators laughed. "You revealed your cultivation when you broke the restriction earlier. You're only at the fifth stage of the Imperial Realm. You wouldn't last a second against me—what makes you think you can help?"
The mocking voice was interrupted by Luo Ying, who suddenly turned serious. "Temple of Destiny and Lanyan Royal School—are they truly prepared to declare war on the Bright Clan?" she asked, her expression grave.
"Declare war?" Chen Feng was startled. "My master didn't say anything about that." He recalled that Gu Lan had instructed him to assist Cloudy Sky City and advised that if they couldn't defeat the Bright Clan, they should retreat to Sky Admiration World, where Lanyan Royal School would welcome them. Chen Feng explained the mission in full, causing the room to fall silent.
Many of the generals in Cloudy Sky City could barely contain their anger. Though they knew they had no chance of victory, they had still resolved to fight. Now, hearing someone suggest they flee without a fight bruised their pride.
"City Lord, allow me to teach this boy a lesson! Let him know that even if he has the backing of the Temple of Destiny and Elder Nightfall, he should not be acting so arrogant!" one of the generals demanded.
"Wait!" Luo Ying stopped him. She wasn't upset by Chen Feng's words. "I've heard what you've had to say. But Cloudy Sky City does not need your help. When you return, pass along a message to Miss Shangguan. Tell her that I appreciate her offer of assistance, but Cloudy Sky City must walk its own path."
With that, Luo Ying waved her hand, sending Chen Feng flying out of the city. The attack had come so quickly that Chen Feng didn't even have time to react. Fortunately, the protective aura from his enchanted robe activated, shielding him from harm. Nonetheless, he was flung out of Cloudy Sky City with remarkable speed.
In the presence of a Main God Realm expert, his cultivation level was still far too low. Even with his treasures, he stood no chance.
Chen Feng crashed into a large boulder, creating a massive crater. As he brushed himself off, his hand landed on a sizable piece of jade—an emperor-tier weapon crafting material. Expertly, he tucked it away into his storage ring.
"Shangguan... Could City Lord Luo Ying have been referring to Miss Shangguan?" Chen Feng muttered to himself. "Was Miss Shangguan the one who asked my master to send me here to help Cloudy Sky City?"
Though puzzled, Chen Feng knew one thing for certain: his master's words were always correct. If Gu Lan had sent him to help Cloudy Sky City, then he would see the task through. And if the city didn't welcome him, he would simply help in his own way.
"The Bright Clan has been up to no good, colluding with extraterrestrial entities. It's time I teach them a lesson!" Chen Feng's face grew stern. "My master didn't give me the sword case just for running away. The Immortal Execution sword array can slay immortals and gods alike!"
Determined, Chen Feng flew in the opposite direction of Cloudy Sky City. He decided to use the Bright Clan's angel army as his training ground. Having just mastered the Immortal Execution sword array, he was eager to test it in battle.
As rumors spread of a sword cultivator openly challenging the Bright Clan, Chen Feng's name began to echo throughout the Chengtian World.
