After Star River Immortal Venerate left, Xiyue Immortal Venerate didn't say anything more to Immortal Venerable Wan Jie and directly turned around, flying towards her own warship.

The Beast Alliance and Qingyun Academy were inherently adversaries, having merely set aside their disputes temporarily due to the crisis in the Tianyan Immortal Domain.

With no third-party forces present, Xiyue Immortal Venerate was also uninterested in further pointless chatter with Immortal Venerable Wan Jie.

Although both the Beast Alliance and Qingyun Academy were returning to the Eastern Domain, they chose different routes to avoid conflict.

On the deck of the immortal ship returning to the Eastern Domain, Lu Chen fixed his gaze on Xiyue Immortal Venerate, a teasing smile playing on his lips, "Xiyue Alliance Leader, this time you were the one who invited me to the Beast Alliance."

At these words, Xiyue Immortal Venerate's expression instantly turned as cold as snow. She glanced at Lu Chen from the corner of her eye, a trace of displeasure in her gaze as she said, "I did it for the sake of the Eastern Domain. Didn't you hear that old undying one from Qingyun Academy say that the strange creatures initially invaded the Tianyan Immortal Domain from the Eastern Domain? It's possible there might still be portals for those strange creatures in the Eastern Domain."

"I maintain what I said before. You'd better not have any designs on me."

Lu Chen sighed, "Your attitude when asking for help is rather poor."

"Since it's for the Eastern Domain, I don't necessarily have to go to the Beast Alliance. I have a clone at Qingyun Academy; if strange creatures do appear in the Eastern Domain, the clone at Qingyun Academy will act as well."

Upon hearing this, Xiyue Immortal Venerate's brows immediately furrowed tightly. The Beast Alliance and Qingyun Academy have never gotten along. If the strange creatures appear in the regions controlled by the Qingyun Academy, things might be fine. However, if they show up in the Beast Alliance's territory, the people from Qingyun Academy might deliberately delay, preventing Lu Chen from reaching the Beast Alliance-controlled regions to seal the creatures in time.

Xiyue Immortal Venerate asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Lu Chen replied, "Not much, really. After all, it's for the Tianyan Immortal Domain, and contributing is expected. But since you invited me to stay at the Beast Alliance, you should give me some benefits."

Xiyue Immortal Venerate continued, "What benefits do you want?"

As she spoke, the aura surrounding her continued to rise, and the pressure of the Immortal Venerate was gradually released.

As an Immortal Venerate, it was the first time she had to negotiate like this.

Being a member of the Heavenly Fox Clan, with countless inherited memories, she is of the Imperial Family within the Demon Race, the noblest existence among them. No one had ever dared to demand terms from her as Lu Chen did.

Seeing Xiyue Immortal Venerate already showing hints of anger, Lu Chen's smile widened, "How about you call me 'darling'?"

Xiyue Immortal Venerate sneered, "Is that all? I thought you'd make a more outrageous demand."

This…

Lu Chen was taken aback instead. Xiyue Immortal Venerate is an Immortal Venerate; an Immortal Venerate cannot be insulted, and she is the leader of an Overlord Level Force. Such a person stands high above others.

Having her call him 'darling' should be a kind of humiliation for someone of her stature, right? From her words, it seemed she didn't care?

Xiyue Immortal Venerate then coldly said, "Darling, are you surprised?"

Seeing Lu Chen momentarily speechless, Xiyue Immortal Venerate felt a sense of triumph. This guy thought she didn't recognize that he was trying to tease her.

She wasn't a fool; she could clearly see that Lu Chen was amusing himself, mocking her, wanting to see her extremely angry yet helpless.

Since that was the case, it might as well be better to go along with it. After all, it was just a title, calling him 'darling' to gain a tool to reign in strange creatures wasn't a loss for her.

Hearing Xiyue Immortal Venerate call him 'darling,' Lu Chen's mind went blank once more.

The woman...

She really said it.

As Lu Chen regained his composure, he laughed, "I really didn't expect it. The dignified Alliance Leader of the Beast Alliance actually compromised."

Xiyue Immortal Venerate snorted coldly, "You think I don't know what you're up to, trying to make me your amusement? Wishful thinking."

"It's just a title. Do you really think just because I call you 'darling,' I'd truly be your woman?"

Lu Chen said, "It seems I indeed underestimated you. You are indeed someone who can bend and stretch."

Xiyue Immortal Venerate nonchalantly said, "I've fulfilled your request. I hope you'll keep this clone of yours obediently at the Beast Alliance afterward."

With those words, Xiyue Immortal Venerate said no more to Lu Chen. Her body instantly vanished, leaving the deck of the immortal ship, and entered the cabin.

At this moment, Xiyue Immortal Venerate wasn't worried at all that Lu Chen's clone might leave the Beast Alliance. She had already sensed Lu Chen's possessiveness towards her earlier.

Though it was mildly bothersome, since Lu Chen desired her, she could reverse the situation to use this against him. Lu Chen, wanting to be with her, would naturally have his clone follow her to the Beast Alliance, seeking an opportunity to act against her.

It was nothing to be concerned about, let alone just a clone. Even if Lu Chen's main body came to the Beast Alliance, it would practically be impossible for him to plot against her.

As a member of the Heavenly Fox Clan, her strength was formidable. Although her Divine Soul wasn't as strong as Lu Chen's, Lu Chen's main body currently only had Immortal Venerate Cultivation.

One must recognize that an Immortal's power isn't solely determined by the strength of the Divine Soul but also by physique, Immortal Law, Magic Treasures, or enlightenment of the Great Dao.

She had great confidence in her own strength, so she didn't consider Lu Chen to be a threat.

…

The news that the three Overlord Level forces, leading numerous forces' Immortal Venerates, had reinforced the seal quickly spread throughout the Tianyan Immortal Domain. Since many Immortal Venerates participated in this action, upon returning, they spread what happened in the Sunset Mountain Range. Moreover, with thirteen Immortal Venerates perishing in the Sunset Mountain Range, some previously passive forces now believed in the existence of strange creatures.

At the same time, various forces in the Tianyan Immortal Domain realized the importance of Lu Chen. Many forces dispatched envoys to Mysterious Moon Palace, hoping to meet Lu Chen, and to invite a clone of Lu Chen to guard their forces.

Meanwhile.

In Mysterious Moon Palace, within Yun Meng Hall.

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng sat on the Ice Crystal Chair, looking at the floating invitation letters, feeling a mix of emotions.

She hadn't anticipated that Lu Chen would, in such a short time, become the lauded savior of the Tianyan Immortal Domain's major forces.

She suddenly regretted handing Lu Chen over. She had heard what transpired within the Sunset Mountain Range. It was said that only Lu Chen could lay out the Holy Rank Sealing Array.

Immortal Venerable Yun Meng thought that if she hadn't handed Lu Chen over back then, even if others obtained the Holy Rank Sealing Array from Lu Chen, they likely would be unable to activate the array to reinforce the seal.

Without the Immortal Venerates reinforcing the seal, it wouldn't have taken many years for the strange creatures to descend upon the Tianyan Immortal Domain, and their ancestor might have soon been able to live a second life.

After all, their ancestor had also said that the strange creatures descending upon the Tianyan Immortal Domain would be a good thing for her.
