Chapter 1650: Chapter 1339: Thank King Guangren for Me
Upon hearing Lu Zhengze’s words, Lu Chen furrowed his brow.
King Guangren?
Lu Jingfu?
Why would he send someone to the Land of Chaos? Could it be that he also knows about my return?
This is troublesome. I haven’t fully matured yet, and my strength hasn’t fully recovered. If Lu Jingfu comes to attack the Land of Chaos at this point, I’ll probably have to leave.
But then again, the Land of Chaos, a place devoid of even Immortal Aura, isn’t too big a loss to abandon.
However, I currently have no other places to develop my power. Leaving the Land of Chaos and finding another secluded place like it won’t be easy.
Returning to his senses, Lu Chen asked, “Did the person say anything?”
Lu Zhengze replied, “He just said he wanted to meet the one behind White Feather City.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen fell into thought. Such a place like the Land of Chaos shouldn’t attract Lu Jingfu’s attention. Could it be he already knows that the one behind White Feather City is me?
If he truly knew, based on Lu Jingfu’s character, he should immediately send someone strong to eliminate me. Why just send an envoy?
Could it be that the envoy is the strong one sent by Lu Jingfu to get rid of me?
Seeing Lu Chen not speaking, Lu Zhengze asked, “My lord, what should we do now?”
Lu Chen said calmly, “I’ll first go and see what the envoy is here for.”
Since Lu Jingfu sent an envoy first and didn’t immediately act against me, there’s something more here that I don’t know.
“Bring the person to the Meeting Hall.”
With those words, Lu Chen instantly teleported to the Meeting Hall.
A moment later, Lu Zhengze brought Wang Chixuan to the Meeting Hall.
Lu Chen now used his Disguise Skills, changing his face completely.
When Wang Chixuan saw Lu Chen, he didn’t recognize him. He was a bit confused; the aura of the person before him seemed weaker than his own, appearing to have only the cultivation state of an Earth Immortal and not resembling an Immortal King at all.
Is he hiding his cultivation state?
But he seems to have no need to hide it, right? What’s there to hide, unless he has some formidable enemy?
As Wang Chixuan entered the hall, he paid respects to the person seated above, “Greetings, venerable senior!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly startled.
Senior?
Lu Chen then asked, “Who are you?”
Wang Chixuan replied, “Young one’s name is Wang Chixuan, from Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, under King Guangren. King Guangren heard that a mighty Immortal King is resting in the Land of Chaos, so he sent me to present some gifts.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen paused again. From Wang Chixuan’s words, it seemed Lu Jingfu wanted to win him over?
Could it be Lu Jingfu didn’t know his true identity, only knowing there’s a powerful Immortal in the Land of Chaos?
Returning to his senses, Lu Chen asked, “What gifts?”
“Gifts” can be of two kinds. Some are genuine gifts, while others are intimidation tactics.
Before seeing the “gifts” Wang Chixuan spoke of, Lu Chen couldn’t determine whether they were genuine.
Without seeing the gifts, Lu Chen couldn’t gauge Lu Jingfu’s attitude towards him.
If the gifts Wang Chixuan brought were indeed genuine, then it’s clear Lu Jingfu didn’t know his identity and was trying to win him over.
But if the “gifts” relate to his past, then it shows Lu Jingfu already recognized him and was intimidating him.
Upon Lu Chen’s words, Wang Chixuan didn’t hesitate to take out the Space Ring containing the gifts.
Lu Chen used his Immortal Aura to draw the Space Ring into his hand, then checked the contents inside.
Inside the Space Ring were over a dozen precious herbs, and even a leaf containing the Power of Laws.
Lu Chen thought internally, it really was to deliver gifts. It seems Lu Jingfu truly didn’t know his identity and was trying to win him over.
Storing away the Space Ring, Lu Chen asked, “I’m a bit curious, how did your lord know of me?”
Wang Chixuan answered truthfully, “Not long ago, someone used a Transmission Array left by our lord to teleport to our king’s Royal Palace. From them, we learned that King Anyuan had sent someone strong to trouble you.”
Lu Chen said, “I see.”
It appears Lu Jingfu discovered Lu Jing also sent people to the Land of Chaos, and those people even clashed with him. So, he deduced there’s enmity between them. Moreover, when he killed Xiao Yunze, Lu Chen displayed strength resembling that of an Immortal King. Observing this through the memory of that person, Lu Jingfu decided to win him over.
Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel amused.
Since Lu Jingfu willingly gave him Cultivation Resources, he couldn’t waste his gesture.
With this in mind, Lu Chen said to Wang Chixuan, “When you return, thank King Guangren on my behalf. These herbs are exactly what I need.”
Upon Lu Chen’s words, Wang Chixuan was delighted internally, though he refrained from immediately asking Lu Chen to assist Lu Jingfu. After all, as an Immortal King, even an injured one, would still be prideful. Simply giving some herbs and asking him to join Tianxia Immortal Dynasty seemed too insulting and could provoke anger.
Wang Chixuan then said, “Venerable senior, our king mentioned that if you ever require assistance, you can send someone to inform him. As long as it’s within his capacity, he will help you.”
Smiling, Lu Chen replied, “Then I thank King Guangren in advance. If King Guangren ever needs my assistance, I’ll do my utmost to help.”
Hearing this, Wang Chixuan was even happier, not expecting their king to win over an Immortal King so easily.
Lu Chen then said, “Alright, I have to cultivate now. You may leave at your convenience.”
Wang Chixuan replied, “Yes, senior. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Then Wang Chixuan voluntarily left the City Lord’s Mansion.
After Wang Chixuan left, Lu Zhengze stood watching the direction of the door with a strange expression.
After a while, Lu Zhengze finally spoke, “My lord, King Guangren probably doesn’t know it’s you.”
Lu Chen, with a smile, said, “He wishes to borrow a knife to kill someone.”
“He knows that after I killed those sent by Lu Jing, he assumes I have a grudge with Lu Jing. Thus, he’s trying to ally with me against Lu Jing.”
Lu Zhengze said, “If King Anyuan learns of our contact with King Guangren, might he suspect we’ve allied with him?”
Lu Chen said, “No, it was Lu Jingfu who caused my downfall. There’s no way I’d reconcile with Lu Jingfu. Lu Jing would never think I’m so magnanimous.”
“However, when Lu Jing learns of this, he’ll likely send someone to inquire.”
“Alright, you and Xiaoshuang go prepare. Once matters here are handed over, leave the Land of Chaos and find a place to break through.”
“Yes, my lord!”
