Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 2120 - 1810: Your Real Enemy Is Not Me
The Blood Ancestor said calmly, "You need not be so tense. I come to the Barbaric lands not to create trouble for the Hidden Moon Sect."
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader looked at the Blood Ancestor with a face full of wariness. He didn’t believe a word of the Blood Ancestor’s statement. After all, the Barbaric lands once came close to destroying the entire Southern Domain, and he couldn’t believe the Blood Ancestor had no intentions of revenge.
The Blood Ancestor, knowing the Hidden Moon Sect Leader’s disbelief, continued, "I must thank you for your invasion of the Southern Domain back then. Without you, how could I have absorbed so much blood energy, thus rapidly restoring my strength."
"This..."
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader asked coldly, "And you came specifically to mock me?"
The Blood Ancestor replied, "I merely came to remind you that disaster is looming over your Hidden Moon Sect, and you are unaware of it. Your true enemy is not me, but someone else."
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader looked at the Blood Ancestor, puzzled, "Not you? Then who?"
The Blood Ancestor answered, "Lu Chen."
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader sneered, "Lu Chen? I acknowledge he has some skills, but he is merely an Immortal King. How could he pose any threat to the Hidden Moon Sect?"
The Blood Ancestor said, "An Immortal King? It seems you have been in seclusion and are unaware of outside matters. Lu Chen has long since broken through to the Immortal Venerable Realm."
Hearing this, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat surprised.
To break through to the Immortal Venerate Realm in such a short period, Lu Chen’s talent is the most terrifying he has ever seen.
Could he indeed possess the Immortal Emperor opportunity?
As the Hidden Moon Sect Leader was lost in thought, the Blood Ancestor continued, "If he is allowed to continue growing, the entire Barbaric lands may fall into his hands."
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader came back to his senses, "Even if he became an Immortal Venerable, he is still not my match."
The Blood Ancestor chuckled, "You think it is difficult for him to become an Immortal Emperor? Within a thousand years, he is bound to become an Immortal Emperor. By then, will your Hidden Moon Sect still have a place in the Barbaric lands?"
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader pondered for a moment, realizing that if Lu Chen continued his cultivation at the current pace, it might not even take five hundred years for him to become an Immortal Emperor. From this perspective, Lu Chen indeed is the greatest future enemy for the Hidden Moon Sect.
But since Lu Chen has not yet grown up, and the Blood Ancestor already possesses Immortal Emperor strength now, Lu Chen is a future threat, while the Blood Ancestor is an immediate threat to the Barbaric lands.
A present enemy appearing on his turf, warning him about a future enemy, seemed suspicious no matter how one looked at it.
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader then inquired, "I’m curious, why did you come to the Barbaric lands specifically to warn me?"
The Blood Ancestor said, "The reason is simple: the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Lu Chen and I are arch-enemies from past lives."
After pondering for a while, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader asked, "Arch-enemies? Then you should eliminate him directly, rather than seeking me out."
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader intended to use a borrowed knife to kill, so the Blood Ancestor’s words immediately made him vigilant. Perhaps the Blood Ancestor was also planning to use a borrowed knife to kill.
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader continued, "Behind Lu Chen is the Xiyue Immortal Emperor, and our Hidden Moon Sect doesn’t dare make a move against Lu Chen."
The Blood Ancestor replied, "The Hidden Moon Sect could also have me supporting you."
Upon hearing this, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader was taken aback and asked seriously, "What do you mean by this? Are you intending to seize the Barbaric lands or the Hidden Moon Sect?"
The Blood Ancestor unhurriedly said, "I’ll be honest with you: when the Barbaric lands invaded the Southern Domain, I didn’t intervene because, contrary to what you Barbaric lands assumed, it wasn’t that my end was near. Instead, I needed to absorb the blood energy of Immortals, so the more intense the war, the happier I was."
"Another reason was that at that time, I was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and couldn’t exert my full strength. If I had exerted my full strength, the Heavenly Dao would have inevitably suppressed me again, and at that time, I couldn’t contend against the Heavenly Dao."
"Now the Heavenly Dao has weakened, and my strength is almost restored to its peak state. The Heavenly Dao can no longer confine me; my power has already far surpassed the ordinary Immortal Emperor."
"Even the Xiyue Immortal Emperor is no longer within my consideration."
Hearing this, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader skeptically asked, "If you are so powerful, why do you need the Hidden Moon Sect to help you eliminate Lu Chen?"
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader felt there was something plotting by the Blood Ancestor. If he were truly so powerful, a minor gesture could destroy the entire Daqin Immortal Dynasty. Why would he come to him for an alliance?
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader strongly suspected that the Blood Ancestor was reluctant to provoke the Xiyue Immortal Emperor and thus sought to use a borrowed knife to kill.
If the Hidden Moon Sect indeed eliminated Lu Chen, the Blood Ancestor might disassociate himself from the Hidden Moon Sect, and the Xiyue Immortal Emperor would surely blame everything on the Hidden Moon Sect, leading to its downfall.
The Blood Ancestor didn’t conceal anything and directly explained, "Although Lu Chen only possesses Immortal Venerable Cultivation, he has a power that restrains me. I was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao back then in large part due to him."
"If not for this, I certainly wouldn’t have come to find you."
Hearing this, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader was shocked inside and somewhat emotionally agitated. If Lu Chen truly possesses the power to restrain the Blood Ancestor, then after they eliminate Lu Chen, could they also control that power, making it much easier to deal with the Blood Ancestor in the future?
His life force is rapidly depleting, and if this continues, his end will soon arrive, yet he hasn’t let go of the idea of controlling the Southern Domain’s Qi Fortune.
Only by fully mastering the Southern Domain’s Qi Fortune can he possibly break through to a higher realm, allowing him to live much longer. And seeking to eliminate the Blood Ancestor with his current power alone is surely insufficient.
If the Blood Ancestor’s words are indeed true, then he faces two options: first, to ally with the Blood Ancestor to remove the scourge of Lu Chen and gain the possible Immortal Emperor opportunity from Lu Chen.
The second option would be to ally with Lu Chen against the Blood Ancestor. Doesn’t Lu Chen possess the power to restrain the Blood Ancestor? If he can team up with Lu Chen to eliminate the Blood Ancestor and control the Southern Domain, he likewise has the chance to become an Immortal Emperor.
However, if he chooses the second option, once Lu Chen matures, he will become a great enemy, and before he becomes an Immortal Emperor, Lu Chen might become one first. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
More importantly, in his quest to become an Immortal Emperor, Lu Chen is likely to have ambitions to control both the Barbaric and Southern lands, prompting a clash between the Daqin Immortal Dynasty and the Hidden Moon Sect.
The Hidden Moon Sect Leader can foresee that if he indeed allies with Lu Chen against the Blood Ancestor, he will undoubtedly utilize the power of the Divine Corpse, which will rapidly drain more of his life force. If they do defeat the Blood Ancestor, both his lifespan and strength will be severely diminished, making it not difficult for Lu Chen to obliterate the Hidden Moon Sect.
He is the pillar of the Hidden Moon Sect. Were it not for his refining of the Divine Corpse, the Barbaric forces wouldn’t heed his command. Once his power declines, the Barbaric forces will undoubtedly betray the Hidden Moon Sect, and when the Daqin Immortal Dynasty moves against the Hidden Moon Sect, those forces might respond in kind.
The Hidden Moon Sect must guard against not only the Daqin Immortal Dynasty but also other Barbaric forces.
