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

Upon hearing the news that Lu Chen was leading an army of 150,000 troops southward, the Sum Emperor and the traitors of the Mysterious Moon Palace were all extremely excited and agitated.

After such a long wait, their plan could finally be put into action.

The moment North Prince arrived at the Capital city would be the day North Prince and the former Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace met their demise!

The army of 150,000 that Lu Chen led southward moved incredibly fast, encountering almost no resistance along the way, and arrived in the Capital District in less than half a month.

After reaching the outskirts of the Capital city, Lu Chen did not rush to initiate an attack. Instead, he had the Brocade Guards become active, gathering more intelligence about the Capital city.

The real threat in the Capital city wasn't the soldiers of the court but the experts currently in the Capital city.

After investigations by the Brocade Guards and other sources, Lu Chen had basically figured out the current situation in the Capital city.

There were ten individuals in the Capital city with Grandmaster-level strength or above, including the Grandmaster of the Mysterious Moon Palace. Among these, there were three Pseudo Celestials, meaning the Sum Emperor and the two traitors from the Mysterious Moon Palace were Pseudo Celestials.

There weren't many Grandmasters on Lu Chen's side, but there were two Celestials.

One Celestial could easily match ten Grandmasters, so Lu Chen was not worried about the number of Grandmasters in the Capital city. What concerned him most now was the weapon in the Imperial Palace that could kill a Celestial.

Only after that weapon was destroyed could he attack the Capital city with peace of mind.

However, after about half a month of reconnaissance, the Brocade Guards had still not found the location of that weapon that could kill a Celestial.

Tai'an City.

The mansion of a certain Aristocratic Family.

Tai'an City was already part of the Capital District. After Lu Chen's arrival in Tai'an City, the Aristocratic Families of Tai'an City were so frightened that they had all fled.

Lu Chen simply chose a courtyard of one of these Aristocratic Families as a place to stay.

At this moment, seated on a stone bench in the pavilion, Lu Chen flipped through the intelligence reports brought by the Brocade Guards.

That's when Yun Xianxian and Chen Wanrong entered the courtyard.

Looking at Lu Chen, Yun Xianxian asked directly, "When do you plan to attack the Capital city?"

Putting down the intelligence in his hand, Lu Chen looked up at Yun Xianxian and sighed softly, "I originally planned to launch the attack after we had news of that Divine Weapon, but so much time has passed, and the Brocade Guards still haven't located the Divine Weapon's whereabouts."

Yun Xianxian said indifferently, "How could they take out that Divine Weapon if I haven't made an appearance?"

"The only option now is a direct assault. Once they see me, they'll definitely use that Divine Weapon to ambush me."

After thinking it over, Lu Chen realized that if there was no other way, they would have to do just that.

Just as Lu Chen was about to call for a maid to summon the Military Generals for a military meeting, a guard rushed into the courtyard in a hurry, "Prince, there are many unidentified people outside the mansion. They claim they are from the Sunset Sword Sect and the Tai Chu Divine Hall."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback, Sunset Sword Sect and Tai Chu Divine Hall?

How did they arrive so quickly?

Lu Chen initially thought that it would take at least half a year for people from these two forces to get in contact with him since they were at sea, yet they arrived in less than three months.

He had never expected the Sunset Sword Sect and the Tai Chu Divine Hall to play a role in this war from the start.

But now that they had come, things were different.

He just didn't know how many Pseudo Celestials and Grandmasters were among those who came.

Lu Chen immediately said, "Bring them to the courtyard at once."

"Yes, Prince."

Soon, the guard brought two robust, white-haired, venerable old men into the courtyard.

The moment these two elderly men appeared, Yun Xianxian frowned and instantly became more vigilant.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Chaoge suddenly appeared in the courtyard; although he didn't make a move, he also watched the two old men with a guarded expression.

Just then, Lu Chen quickly used the system to identify their identities.

[Name: Mu Hongguang]

```

[Identity: Hall Master of the Tai Chu Divine Hall]

[Strength: Heavenly Human Realm]

[Loyalty: 100]

...

[Name: Xia Tianyuan]

[Identity: Sect Master of the Sunset Sword Sect]

[Strength: Celestial]

[Loyalty: 100]

This...

Seeing the information of the two people, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

He had only issued them the order to establish contact with himself, but he hadn't expected that the two Sect Masters would personally come to see him.

After regaining his composure, Lu Chen immediately said, "The two of you have come from afar, it must have been tough."

Xia Tianyuan and Mu Hongguang hurriedly performed a salute at the same time, then one after the other said:

"Sect Master Xia Tianyuan of the Sunset Sword Sect, greets the young master!"

"Hall Master Mu Hongguang of the Tai Chu Divine Hall, greets the young master!"

Hearing the two people's words, Xuanyuan Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief, they were his own people after all.

But Yun Xianxian was unsettled.

Although the two elders had concealed their auras, she could feel that both of the elders were Celestial powerhouses.

Though Celestial powerhouses weren't much in the cultivation realm, Celestials in this world were still rather precious. Now, two Celestials had appeared at the same time, and they were even saluting Lu Chen. They seemed to hold Lu Chen in high regard, calling him 'young master,' as if they were Lu Chen's own people.

How was that possible?

Lu Chen already had a Celestial by his side, and now two more had appeared?

Just who exactly was this rebellious disciple?

Why could she form relationships with so many Celestials in this Lower World?

That shouldn't be the case, should it?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Moreover, she had been in this world for many years, but she had never heard of the existence of the Tai Chu Divine Hall and the Sunset Sword Sect. Where had these two powers suddenly come from?

Yun Xianxian suddenly felt as if she might have provoked a noble son from a Cultivation Family that had fallen from the cultivation world.

At this time, Lu Chen said, "I did not expect the two of you to come personally."

Xia Tianyuan said, "We have been waiting in this world for the young master for a thousand years. Now that the young master has finally arrived, it is natural for us to come in person to protect the young master's safety."

Upon hearing Xia Tianyuan's words, Yun Xianxian's eyebrows slightly raised.

Judging by his words, was Lu Chen's arrival in this world already predetermined? That meant it was indeed possible that Lu Chen had been sent to this world for training from the cultivation world.

This kind of thing was very common in the cultivation world. Some families would like to send their younger generation to Lower Worlds to train and only allow them to return to their original world once they had reached a certain level of cultivation.

No wonder Lu Chen had the high-level cultivation technique the Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell; his identity must have been extraordinary from the start.

Suddenly, Yun Xianxian felt like she had picked up a hot potato. She had always been somewhat recluse in the cultivation world and did not wish to interact with any junior members of Cultivation Families.

Just then, Lu Chen thought of Yun Xianxian's presence and said to her, "Master, I have matters to attend to. We will discuss what we talked about earlier tomorrow."

Having said this, Lu Chen then told Xia Tianyuan and Mu Hongguang, "Sect Master Xia, Hall Master Mu, follow me."

Afterward, Lu Chen took Mu Hongguang and Xia Tianyuan to the study. Watching their retreating figures, Yun Xianxian fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering something.
