Chapter 482: Li Chen, don't blame me for pitting you! (Please subscribe)

Li Xian was not boosting others' morale and destroying his own prestige.

Don't forget, the first time Li Chen revealed his Sage Realm strength, it was to scare Li Xian.

Then Li Chen defeated the outstanding figure among the Sage Realm, Lord Dingtian, and Li Xian was also on the scene.

Li Xian knew better than anyone how terrifying Li Chen's strength was.

But if he said this, wouldn't it be showing weakness to Chete, making Chete feel he had no ability, and wouldn't their future cooperation fall into a disadvantage, as if he were holding onto Chete's thigh?

It is said: when you are out in the world, your identity is given by yourself.

Li Xian sighed and said: "It's because Li Chen doesn't bring guards and walks alone, being cautious, so I have no idea of his whereabouts, thus unable to arrange an action."

This was acting; every movement and detail was very much in place, and Chete couldn't see anything.

After all, Li Xian had packaged himself too well along the way, a person from a mysterious hidden sect, with strong people like clouds around him and many subordinates.

These were things Chete "saw with his own eyes," so he naturally felt Li Xian had strength, just couldn't find an opportunity.

To change the subject, Li Xian pretended to be profound and said: "What are your plans lately? Are you going back to the Yongzhou Empire or staying here?"

Chete shook his wine glass, his expression gloomy: "I heard the Pope has sent the Judgment Knights to catch me back. This time even old friends in the Holy See can't help. I'd better avoid the limelight for now."

He looked up at Li Xian and continued: "What about you? What plans do you have?"

"I'm going to the Falling Xianshan Range." A flash of light crossed Li Xian's eyes.

Chete became interested instantly: "Oh? Is this the training that you May Tian Ce cultivators often talk about?"

As a cultivator who went to the Holy See for further studies, he was very curious about how cultivators of the May Tian Ce Dynasty cultivated.

Li Xian nodded profoundly: "That's right, the Falling Xianshan Range occasionally has rifts of immortal ruins, and many hidden sects will go to hunt for treasures. Our Guixu Wuya Sect naturally has to send people."

To be precise, this place was an "inherent" treasure-farming spot.

Just like the sea clan in the coastal areas of May Tian Ce now, it is a place for cultivators to group up and farm.

Chete's eyes lit up: "Then why don't I go with you? Anyway, I'm bored now."

Li Xian was secretly happy; this was exactly the result he wanted.

He had intended to hint at this when he came here, but who knew Chete would ask actively.

As long as Chete went with him, he could "inadvertently" see how strong his "background" was.

Because Li Xian's level wasn't high enough, he couldn't bring Chete into the place where the sect's hermits were, so he could only use this method.

Although everything went according to plan, Li Xian pretended to be hesitant on the surface: "This, I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

Chete slapped the table and stood up: "What's inconvenient? I can disguise myself as a stranger you met by chance. Besides, I'm also very interested in immortal ruins."

He often heard Li Xian bragging about how awesome his background was; having finally caught an opportunity, why not go and see.

Li Xian pretended to think for a moment, and finally nodded "reluctantly": "Alright. But you must remember, never expose your identity in front of the sect elders."

Meanwhile, in the May Tian Ce Imperial Palace.

Li Chen was flipping through ancient books in the Imperial Study, and Lady Youlan stood respectfully to the side.

"Youlan, have you ever heard of the 'Immortal Token'?" Li Chen asked suddenly.

Lady Youlan was slightly startled: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Immortal Token is a token held only by the Fengxian clan. It is said that in ancient times, these families served real immortals and thus obtained the protection of the immortal clan."

She paused and continued: "As far as this concubine knows, there are four hidden sects that hold Immortal Tokens: the Guixu Wuya Sect in the east, the Bamen Qingtian Hall in the south, the Shiyou Xuanming Palace in the west, and the Xumi Lingxiao Pavilion in the north. These sects all avoid the world, and there are many strong people in the sects."

Li Chen nodded thoughtfully: "It seems I must 'visit' these hidden sects."

Speaking of the Guixu Wuya Sect, Li Chen thought of a woman as beautiful as a fairy, that was the long-unseen Immortal Shu Yu; it was time to go and build up some favor.

Since he was going, there were two people Li Chen needed to bring, that was Immortal Shu Yu's good friend, Immortal Sister Yunya, and Xuan Ji of the Guixu Wuya Sect. Immortal Sister Yunya had been living in the side hall of the Imperial Palace recently, often nourished by Li Chen, her skin becoming more and more tender and translucent, and she herself becoming much fuller.

At this moment, she was leaning on the soft couch, looking at her charming face in the mirror, a smile unconsciously rising at the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty~" Seeing Li Chen enter, she immediately stood up to welcome him, her eyes flowing with autumn waves, that look of not being fed enough, looking very delicious.

Li Chen naturally had an in-depth exchange first before starting to talk about business.

Immortal Sister Yunya lay in front of Li Chen and lowered her voice: "We have an agreement; before you take Shu Yu, our business cannot let her know."

She knew this kind of thing was absurd; after all, she had a Dao companion.

If Shu Yu knew now, she might tease her to death.

Women, after all, have thin skin.

Li Chen couldn't help but laugh, pinching her tender face: "Rest assured, I promise you."

On the other side, Xuan Ji was organizing her luggage.

This female cultivator of the Guixu Wuya Sect had now fully adapted to life in the Imperial Palace and even began to enjoy the treatment as the Emperor's favorite concubine.

In the past, she was controlled by Li Chen; some time ago, Li Chen had stopped controlling her, but she seemed unable to leave Li Chen.

Subjective consciousness, all very cooperative with Li Chen's actions.

The way to conquer her is only through long-term affection.

At this moment, Xuan Ji's gaze couldn't help but look toward the east, which was the direction where the sect was located.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Chen was already standing behind her at some point.

Xuan Ji trembled slightly: "This concubine hasn't returned to the master sect for a long time."

Li Chen hugged her from behind: "Returning this time, you can just visit."

Xuan Ji showed a satisfied smile, but was a bit worried: what if she saw Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wuhui?

She didn't need to worry about this point; at this moment, Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was still in the dungeon of the Yuxu Immortal Mansion, and Jun Wuhui was also nearby.

Three days later, the court affairs were arranged properly, and Li Chen quietly left the palace with the two women.

Immortal Sister Yunya wore a pale purple gauze dress, while Xuan Ji wore the moon-white Dao robe unique to the Guixu Wuya Sect, which made Li Chen feel that they were very charming; every time they arrived at a suitable place, they would pause for a while to enjoy it.

Meanwhile, deep in the Imperial Palace of the Yongzhou Empire.

Charles stood alone in a dark room, with a figure shrouded in a black robe kneeling in front of him.

That person's voice was hoarse and indistinguishable in gender: "Your Majesty, the Pope has ordered people to start investigating the military documents, and the College of Cardinals will be convened in three days."

Charles clenched his fists: "That old thing!"

The black-robed person whispered: "This subject suggests that Your Majesty endure for now and cooperate with the Pope's actions; the Pope is old, just wait out this period."

His meaning was very clear: he wanted Charles to wait for the Pope to die, and he would find a way to become Pope, then it would be fine.

That's right, this was the mysterious cardinal Charles sent to the Holy See; no one knew his identity.

Charles sneered: "I would like to wait, but he is clearly trying to use this opportunity to depose me!"

The black-robed person was silent for a moment: "If Your Majesty insists on resisting, my inside contact in the Holy See can..."

Charles suddenly interrupted: "It hasn't reached that step yet. You go back first and continue to monitor every move of the Pope; I have my own way."

Recently, the abnormalities on May Tian Ce's side had already attracted Charles's attention.

He judged that it was mostly Li Chen's work; after all, only Li Chen had the ability to make his own army cooperate.

Charles thought: Since that's the case, Li Chen, don't blame me for pitting you!
