When light reappeared before Lu Chen's eyes, he found himself inside the Yun Meng Hall.

The Yun Meng Hall was entirely crafted from colorful Immortal Crystals that emitted radiant hues, making the entire hall seem dreamlike.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng was adorned in a multicolored gauzy long dress, standing in the hall with her back to him.

Lu Chen immediately spoke, "Greetings, Palace Master. I wonder what the Palace Master seeks from me?"

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng turned around at this point, cast a glance at Lu Chen, and then said, "Are you getting accustomed to the Mysterious Moon Palace?"

Lu Chen froze for a moment; he didn't believe that Immortal Venerable Yun Meng sought him out to inquire about his comfort at the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Immediately, Lu Chen used the system's recognition function to check Immortal Venerable Yun Meng's personal information, which had been updated to display her recent schemes against him.

Lu Chen chuckled inwardly, realizing she intended to obtain the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture from him.

Lu Chen then said, "Palace Master, whatever you wish to say, feel free to speak directly."

Knowing Lu Chen was not easily deceived, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng directly said, "You must have heard about the recent events in the Northern Domain, right?"

Lu Chen replied, "I've been in secluded cultivation recently and am not well-informed about outside affairs."

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng said, "Currently, nearly half of the Northern Domain's land is under the control of the Demon Emperor's army. The various major forces of the Northern Domain can barely resist. The suppression of Immortal Power by the Heavenly Demon Power is very apparent. If the Demon Emperor continues to grow and regain full strength, it would be a disaster for the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain."

Saying this, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng glanced at Lu Chen, noticing no change in his expression. She furrowed her brows slightly and continued, "The Heavenly Splendor Hall in the Southern Domain issued a warrant for your arrest, claiming you possess means to counter Evil Power."

"I don't know if it's a cultivation technique or a magic treasure, but if it can counter Evil Power, perhaps it could be used against the Heavenly Demon, possibly having some effect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen instantly understood her intent; she wanted to use the Heavenly Splendor Hall to threaten him.

Her implication was that if he didn't hand over the method to counter Evil Power, she might spread the word about his presence in the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't believe Immortal Venerable Yun Meng would actually do that. He was not at all concerned about her threats and immediately said, "That's just a pretext the Heavenly Splendor Hall is using to find me. They think I've obtained many opportunities from the Chaotic Sea and want to get those opportunities from me."

"However, I've escaped to the Central Domain. The Heavenly Splendor Hall likely searched the Southern Domain thoroughly and couldn't find me, so they issued this warrant. If there's no benefit in finding me, other forces will naturally not assist the Heavenly Splendor Hall in their search. But if finding me provides benefits and could help address the current crisis, then all the major forces will send people to search for me."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng pondered for a moment. Lu Chen's words were not without reason. The letter from the Heavenly Splendor Hall didn't state that Lu Chen definitely had the means to counter Heavenly Demon Power; it only mentioned suspicions about his ability to counter Evil Power.

If someday other forces helped the Heavenly Splendor Hall capture Lu Chen and then forced him to disclose a method to counter Heavenly Demon Power, only to find that he knew nothing and that even a Soul Search couldn't uncover related memories, then the Heavenly Splendor Hall could simply say they only suspected it and never claimed Lu Chen definitely had such means.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng calmly observed Lu Chen, seemingly trying to discern whether he was lying from his expression.

Lu Chen's expression remained calm, showing no signs of deceit. It seemed he wasn't afraid of a Soul Search. Could it really be as Lu Chen said, that the Heavenly Splendor Hall was just using this pretext to find him?

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng asked, "Are you truly without a method to counter Heavenly Demon Power?"

Lu Chen retorted, "Does the Palace Master have a method to counter Heavenly Demon Power?"

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng answered, "No."

Lu Chen said, "Even a super force like the Mysterious Moon Palace doesn't have one, so how could I possibly have one?"

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng said, "That remains uncertain, especially since you have ventured into the Chaotic Sea."

Lu Chen replied, "The Chaotic Sea contains only dangers, no opportunities."

"If there truly were opportunities in the Chaotic Sea, the Demon Emperor wouldn't have had his cultivation state drop so much upon emerging. Does the Palace Master think a King entering the Chaotic Sea would encounter more opportunities, or an Emperor?"

"If even an Immortal Emperor entering the Chaotic Sea couldn't find opportunities, then how could I, an Immortal King, discover opportunities even an Immortal Emperor couldn't find?"

At this point, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng couldn't ascertain whether Lu Chen was speaking truthfully. She then said, "Whether the Demon Emperor found opportunities or not, only she would know."

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng didn't explicitly refer to Lu Chen, but the same applied to him; only Lu Chen himself truly knew whether he found any opportunities.

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng thought for a moment and finally decided not to continue questioning Lu Chen for the time being. She planned to send someone to investigate why the Heavenly Splendor Hall was so ostentatiously issuing the warrant.

Whether the contents of the letter sent by the Heavenly Splendor Hall were true, or if this was just an excuse they used to capture Lu Chen.

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng said to Lu Chen, "I believe you're not lying. You can go."

Lu Chen then said, "Thank you for trusting me, Palace Master."

With those words, Lu Chen turned and left.

Watching Lu Chen's departing figure, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng still harbored some suspicions.

Immediately, she summoned a few individuals to go to the Southern Domain and investigate what had transpired between Lu Chen and the Heavenly Splendor Hall since his return from the Chaotic Sea.

After leaving the Yun Meng Hall, as Lu Chen was about to return to Heavenly Language Peak, he saw a fairy in a red long dress passing by him not far away.

At this moment, Xu Jingshu felt something and suddenly turned her head towards Lu Chen. Upon seeing him, she momentarily became slightly dazed.

It had been a long time since she last saw Lu Chen, and she missed him greatly. The joyful memories Lu Chen had brought her kept lingering in her mind.

Xu Jingshu was considered a significant figure on the main peak, so when she turned to look at Lu Chen, nearly everyone present followed her gaze to Lu Chen. People were curious why the mother of the unborn Saintess would fixate on the Direct Disciple of Heavenly Language Peak.

Realizing her slight loss of composure, Xu Jingshu transmitted a message to Lu Chen, asking, "Can I acknowledge you?"

Life without Lu Chen was somewhat unbearable for this Evil Immortal; she wanted to reunite with him but feared that her current identity might bring trouble to Lu Chen.

With a smile, Lu Chen replied via sound transmission, "Of course."

To Lu Chen, this was merely a physical body. Even if something did happen, it wouldn't affect him. Thus, he wasn't worried that reuniting with Xu Jingshu would bring him any trouble.
