After playing with Chu Yuqin on the soft couch for two days, Lu Chen then headed to Black Dragon County.
He had another woman there in Black Dragon County, whom he hadn’t sought out in a year; she must have missed him dearly.
Moreover, this year she had been of great help to Lu Changfeng at the Cultivators’ Conference. As Lu Changfeng’s father, it was naturally incumbent upon him to properly thank her.
If he was to give thanks, then he must do so with real action.
At this very moment.
Inside the bamboo house on the back hill of the Misty Immortal Sect.
Su Hanyan suddenly felt a chill and couldn’t help but sneeze.
Su Hanyan furrowed her brows instantly. She, a Myriad Laws Realm Cultivator, actually sneezed?
Immediately after, Su Hanyan coldly said to the air, "Come out."
As soon as Su Hanyan’s words fell, a mass of black mist appeared outside her bamboo house, and then a figure walked out of the mist.
"Sect Master Su, truly worthy of being a Myriad Laws Realm Cultivator, detected my presence the moment I arrived."
Su Hanyan glanced at the old man before her and chuckled, "No wonder Sect Leader Li was able to kill the former Sect Leader of the Hundred Changes Sect and take control. It turns out he has become a Demon Cultivator."
Li Xinghuai lightly said, "So what if I have become a Demon Cultivator? Whether righteous or evil, we are all Cultivators, all seeking immortality. Moreover, the deeds of the so-called righteous and demon cultivators are not much different."
Su Hanyan coldly said, "Sect Leader Li, did you come to me today just to say these things?"
Li Xinghuai smiled and said, "Of course not."
"I have brought a piece of good news for Sect Master Su today."
Su Hanyan coldly replied, "I hardly think a Demon Cultivator can bring any good news to me."
Li Xinghuai said, "What if this news could free you from the Sum Emperor’s control?"
At these words, Su Hanyan faltered slightly, and Li Xinghuai caught the expression on her face.
Regaining her composure, Su Hanyan scoffed and said, "Sect Leader Li, you surely know the relationship between me and the Sum Emperor. I am his woman. Are you here to stir up trouble between me and the Sum Emperor?"
Li Xinghuai said, "The reason why Sect Master Su became the Sum Emperor’s woman in the first place was merely because you were not as strong as the Sum Emperor. You were helpless and, coupled with the fact that he possessed the Immortal Boat, only by relying on the Sum Emperor could you leave the Tianchen World."
In Li Xinghuai’s view, Su Hanyan was not truly devoted to Lu Chen and would certainly betray him if given the chance.
After hearing Li Xinghuai’s words, Su Hanyan fell silent; indeed, she had become Lu Chen’s woman out of compulsion.

Seeing that Su Hanyan did not continue speaking, Li Xinghuai knew his guess was right, and continued, "Now that the Sum Emperor has been in seclusion for a long time, he must have been seriously injured."
"Now, if we join forces, we will be able to kill the Sum Emperor and seize the Immortal Boat from him. Then it would be easy to leave the Tianchen World."
Su Hanyan indifferently said, "If you truly think the Sum Emperor is seriously injured, why not go directly to him? Why do you need to recruit me?"
"From the aura you’ve displayed, you should have already broken through to the Myriad Laws Realm, haven’t you? With your strength, are you still afraid of not being able to deal with an injured Sum Emperor?"
Li Xinghuai said, "Although I believe the Sum Emperor has been injured, no one knows what trump card the Sum Emperor holds. If I can pull in Sect Master Su, then even if the Sum Emperor really has some tricks up his sleeve, we should be able to handle them easily."
Hearing Li Xinghuai’s words, Su Hanyan chuckled. Li Xinghuai was indeed playing a clever game.
But speaking of which, if Li Xinghuai had approached her in the past, she might have actually agreed to cooperate with him, considering she also did not want to become that kind of vessel for Lu Chen.
However, things were different now. She was very aware of Lu Chen’s strength; if they really fought, Lu Chen’s methods would surely suppress them easily.
Of course, this was not the main reason, nor even a secondary reason. The true reason she would not betray Lu Chen was that she had fallen in love with him and could no longer leave him.
Although she always felt that Lu Chen might be training her to be someone who would stand in crises, even with such thoughts, she could not leave Lu Chen, especially after not seeing him for a year. Her longing for Lu Chen had become incredibly intense, making her realize her feelings for him.
Her feelings for Lu Chen were of both love and hatred, but even though she hated the terrible way Lu Chen acted, she could not possibly join forces with a demon cultivator to hurt Lu Chen.
Of course, Su Hanyan did not plan to refuse Li Xinghuai right now, she then asked, "Sect Leader Li must not only be trying to recruit me."
Li Xinghuai said, "Naturally, half of Black Dragon County’s forces have already chosen to cooperate with me."
"The Immortal Boat of the Sum Emperor is big enough to accommodate all of us leaving the Tianchen World."
Su Hanyan continued to ask, "When does Sect Leader Li plan to take action?"

Li Xinghuai said, "As long as Sect Master Su is willing to cooperate with me, we can attack Yan County this month."
Su Hanyan said, "Alright, I agree."
Seeing Su Hanyan agree, Li Xinghuai’s lips curved slightly upward as he said with a smile, "I knew Sect Master Su would not submit to others."
At that moment Su Hanyan said, "However, I have one more condition."
Li Xinghuai said, "Please speak, Sect Master Su."
Su Hanyan snorted coldly, "The Sum Emperor has insulted me repeatedly, treating me as his tool for venting. I have long been desperate to tear him to pieces. Thus, the life of the Sum Emperor must be ended by me."
Li Xinghuai said, "Alright, no problem."
"Now that our cooperation has been agreed, I will take my leave. In three days, I will host a meeting at the Hundred Changes Sect, and Sect Master Su must attend."
As soon as Li Xinghuai finished speaking, his body once again transformed into a mass of black fog and left the bamboo house.
After Li Xinghuai left, a look of disdain appeared on Su Hanyan’s face, and she chuckled softly, "Really foolish!"
Just after Su Hanyan finished speaking, a familiar voice echoed behind her, "Who’s foolhardy?"
Su Hanyan’s body shivered, the voice was too familiar, but she had not heard it for a year.
When Su Hanyan came back to her senses, she immediately turned around and indeed found Lu Chen half-lying on the soft couch in her bamboo house.
Su Hanyan then asked, "Did you hear everything?"
Su Hanyan thought that Lu Chen had arrived earlier, so he must have heard her conversation with Li Xinghuai.
At this moment, she was somewhat anxious, afraid that Lu Chen would take her words seriously and truly believe that she had allied with Li Xinghuai.
Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Hear what? I just arrived."
With that, Lu Chen glanced around the entire bamboo house and continued, "The demonic qi in this bamboo house is quite heavy, it seems a major demon has just been here."
"I’ve only been in seclusion for a year, and Sect Master Su can’t stand the loneliness, hooking up with a major demon. It truly chills my heart!"
Su Hanyan hastily said, "Your Majesty misunderstands, I…"
Before Su Hanyan could finish, Lu Chen suddenly raised his hand, used his spiritual power to lift Su Hanyan’s body, and directly pulled her into his embrace.
Su Hanyan wanted to continue explaining something, but Lu Chen did not give her the chance. His expression fierce, he said, "Sect Master Su, are you ready to receive your punishment?"
"Your Majesty, I…mmm mmm mmm…"
Before Su Hanyan could finish, her lips were sealed, followed by a "ripping" sound inside the bamboo house.
"Umm!!!"
