Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chapter 934: Chapter 624: My Word is as Weighty as Nine Tripods, You May Leave Now

Upon hearing someone’s voice, Lei Wende immediately looked in the direction from which it came.

Seeing the comer dressed in a black and gold dragon robe, he instantly deduced Lu Chen’s identity and asked with a sneer, “So you are the Emperor of Great Sum?”

“Just a lowly commoner of an inferior world, what makes you worthy of being the Emperor of the entire Tianchen Continent? The Tianchen Continent is not something you lowly commoners can possess. Release me at once, and if you pledge allegiance to the Linghu Sect, perhaps they will allow you to remain as Emperor.”

Lei Wende was so arrogantly confident, naturally, he had his reasons; though he was indeed trapped here, in his view, the Daxia Dynasty was already teetering on the brink of collapse.@@novelbin@@

At this point, Lu Chen watched Lei Wende with interest and asked with a smile, “I am very curious, what exactly has given you the courage to be so presumptuous on someone else’s territory? Are you not afraid that I might just kill you right now?”

Lei Wende let out a snort and said, “It won’t be long before the Misty World’s prohibitions disappear. Once they do, all the powers of the Misty World will come to vie for the lands of the Tianchen Continent. How long do you think you can remain Emperor?”

“Now, the Misty Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Immortal Sect have already joined forces, dreaming of splitting the entire Tianchen Continent in two and making it their own territory. They certainly do not require a mundane dynasty, and you will inevitably be destroyed by them.”

“Only by joining the Linghu Sect and relying on their protection can your position as Emperor possibly continue.”

Seeing Lei Wende so confident that he would be released, Lu Chen directly said, “I am curious, what would you think if I told you that the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect is my Sect?”

With these words, Lei Wende was stunned, and when he regained his senses, panic spread across his face as he said, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a lowly commoner from a lower world be the master of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect? At most, you are nothing but a pawn of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.”

Although he said this, Lei Wende still felt a strong sense of crisis. Even if the Emperor of Great Sum were a pawn of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, wouldn’t that leave him with no way out?

Lu Chen responded indifferently, “Whether I am a master or a pawn, it doesn’t much concern you. After all, Great Sum has a very close relationship with Ten Thousand Immortal Sect. So, what do you think are the chances of survival for a disciple of the Linghu Sect who has fallen into the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect?”

Lu Chen’s words instantly quenched Lei Wende’s arrogant demeanor. His expression filled with panic, his face pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down from his face.

Continuing like this on the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect meant he probably had no other path but death. No wonder the woman who captured him was so powerful; it turned out the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect had long been laying their plans.

The Tianchen Continent had already become the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect’s. That meant even the Misty Immortal Sect had been played by the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.

Of course, none of that mattered now; what mattered was how he could stay alive.

Lei Wende quickly begged for mercy, “Your Majesty, I am the leader sent by the Linghu Sect to invade the Tianchen Continent. I know many secrets about the Linghu Sect. If you promise me a way out of this, I will tell you everything I know about the Linghu Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen did not ask any questions and directly said to a Jinyiwei Guard beside him, “Take him down, then give him paper and pen, and let him write at his leisure.”

After receiving Lu Chen’s order, the Jinyiwei Guard acted promptly, and in a moment, Lei Wende was released from the rack, and paper and pen were placed before him.

Upon picking up the pen, Lei Wende did not immediately start writing but suddenly thought of something and then said, “You wouldn’t be pretending to be from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect to get information out of me, would you?”

Lei Wende felt confused. The Linghu Sect was the first to discover the spatial rift, so how could people from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect have occupied the entire Tianchen Continent ahead of them? Could it be that a spatial rift had appeared much earlier?

Could such a thing be true?

In terms of possibility, it indeed could be; however, there was also another possibility, that the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect hadn’t occupied this world at all, and the Daxia Emperor wasn’t a disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, but it was all a lie made up by the Daxia Emperor to extract information from him.

Hearing Lei Wende’s words, Lu Chen smiled and said, “Since you do not believe, then I shall prove it to you.”

Lu Chen then instructed the Jinyiwei Guard, “Go invite the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect over.”

Lei Wende was stunned by Lu Chen’s words. He frowned and looked at Lu Chen, who appeared calm and composed. Lei Wende felt a jolt deep within. Could it be that the Daxia Emperor was truly from the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect?

After a moment, You Wenguang and others arrived in front of Lu Chen. Seeing him, they immediately saluted and said, “We pay our respects to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for ten thousand, ten thousand, ten-thousand-fold years!”

Seeing that it was indeed the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, and that they were saluting Lu Chen, Lei Wende felt completely hopeless.

Lei Wende recognized You Wenguang. You Wenguang and the other disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect had come to this world together, but You Wenguang had vanished soon after, his whereabouts unknown. Afterwards, there was the attack on the Linghu Sect by the disciples of the two sects.

Normally, disciples of great sects would not easily kneel in worship to emperors from the mundane world. Only if the emperor held an especially exalted status, such as those of the cultivation empires, could he prompt sect forces to bow their heads.

Despite being an emperor from a lower realm, Lei Wende struggled to comprehend why the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect had shown such great reverence to Lu Chen. Could it be true, as claimed by this Daxia Emperor, that the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect belonged to him?

If that was the case, the origins of this Daxia Emperor might be even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Lei Wende did not indulge in further idle talk and picked up the pen, writing down everything he knew about the Linghu Sect, with great detail. He certainly did not want to die here.

Although he worried that Lu Chen might go back on his word, he knew that if he chose not to write, his death would be even more miserable.

By writing, at least there was a glimmer of hope.

About an hour later, Lei Wende finished writing all he knew. Once the papers concerning the Linghu Sect were laid out in front of Lu Chen, he seriously read through all the content.

The Linghu Sect did not have many great secrets, or perhaps it was that Lei Wende and the other disciples of the sect did not know much.

It was not surprising; the disciples sent to invade the Tianchen Continent by the Linghu Sect were those of the Unity Realm. Even though Unity Realm disciples were Pseudo Celestials and held considerable strength in this world, they were akin to ordinary people in the Misty World and the Cultivation World, where they were dime a dozen.

How could such disciples possibly be privy to the core secrets of the sect?

At this time, Lei Wende watched Lu Chen nervously, fearing a betrayal.

After all, Lu Chen was an emperor now, and he was expected to keep his word.

Afterwards, Lu Chen said, “My word is as good as gold; you may leave now.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Lei Wende was overjoyed and hastily expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!”

As for Lu Chen, Lei Wende, now devoid of skill and merely a commoner, was inconsequential, whether dead or alive.

Moreover, letting him go, who knows what other uses he might serve.
