The Growth-Type Supreme Treasure: Myriad Souls Banner!

However, most eyes were on Lu Chen.

He was once an uninspired prince, almost forgotten, but in a short period, he gained the Azure Emperor's favor, receiving repeated rewards and being showered with affection.

The reason for this was Lu Chen's astonishing cultivation talent.

This was because when Lu Chen's talent was tested, representatives from four major sects and two academies were present.

Furthermore, the Azure Emperor didn't deliberately conceal it.

As a result, almost all the higher-ups in Great Qian knew about Lu Chen's situation.

The Supreme Sword Body, the Nine-Colored Spirit Root, and terrifying comprehension.

Such talent guaranteed that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Lu Chen's future would at least reach the Land Immortal Realm.

Some even said that the Land Immortal Realm was merely a starting point.

Everyone looked at Lu Chen with complex expressions.

At this moment, the Azure Emperor, the Empress, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Duchess of Zhenguo entered.

Instantly, the venue fell silent.

Following the entry of the Azure Emperor and others, the master of ceremonies entered, and the ceremony officially began.

Despite being called an engagement, the ceremony was actually very simple, not quite a formal engagement.

It was merely an announcement to the world of Luo Li and Lu Chen's engagement.

In the Azure Emperor's words, Luo Li was now his imperial family's, Lu Chen's person.

Those with ill intentions should stop fixating on young Luo Li.

Otherwise, "I will let you know if my fist is hard enough."

Lu Chen and Luo Li bowed to heaven and earth, then to their parents. In between, Lu Chen and Luo Li exchanged tokens, and the ceremony concluded.

Afterward, everyone proceeded to the Tianyuan Hall.

In the Tianyuan Hall, tables laden with luxurious delicacies were already set.

Led by the Azure Emperor, guests were seated according to their faction and strength.

The Azure Emperor spoke a few words, and then everyone began the feast.

However, while it appeared to be a feast, everyone present harbored their own schemes.

Ling Xuntian of the Ling Family attended the feast with his fifth son, Ling Baijian. However, Ling Baijian was trembling.

Because today, the mysterious Underworld organization had made a move, and it was highly likely that he, Ling Baijian, would be their target.

Therefore, Ling Baijian was trembling all over.

At this moment, Ling Xuntian picked up his wine cup and stood, heading to the main table in front of the Azure Emperor.

Ling Xuntian's standing up immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty, congratulations to the Eleventh Prince on his joyous occasion. Ling Xuntian toasts Your Majesty!"

Facing the Azure Emperor, whose expression was full of meaning, Ling Xuntian tilted his head and drank the wine in his cup clean.

Not far from the Azure Emperor, Spirit Consort saw her father stepping forward first, and her eyes revealed a worried expression.

"Your Majesty, by rights, on the Eleventh Prince's joyous day, I should not speak, but there are some things I must say!"

"Heh heh, Lord Taishan, you are too polite. You are my Lord Taishan. We are all family, what can't be said?"

The Azure Emperor said with a light laugh.

"Your Majesty, do you know of a mysterious and terrifying assassin organization, the Underworld? The day before yesterday and yesterday, both my seventh and sixth sons died at the hands of the Underworld organization. I am heartbroken."

Ling Xuntian, being shamelessly bold, began to wail loudly in front of so many people.

To the left of the Azure Emperor, Lu Chen, who was enjoying his meal, paused his action of holding a chicken drumstick, then continued to eat with his head down.

Yes, he ate even more heartily this time.

"The culprit is the mysterious Underworld organization. I dare to assert that the Underworld organization has experts at the Land Immortal Realm level."

However, Ling Xuntian's next sentence plunged the entire venue into silence.

Disbelief spread across everyone's faces.

An expert at the Land Immortal Realm?

When did such a terrifying assassin organization appear, with an expert at the Land Immortal Realm, someone at the same level as the Azure Emperor?

Even the Azure Emperor, who had been nonchalant, had his eyes flash with sharpness, and he sat up straighter, narrowing his eyes.

"Are you certain it was the Land Immortal Realm?"

"Your Majesty, I am certain. I am at the ninth heaven of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, but I was no match for that assassin. That assassin killed my sixth son right before my eyes. How could I speak falsely?"

Ling Xuntian said with grief.

Hearing this, the Azure Emperor frowned slightly, his face showing a solemn expression.

Below, the top powers and experts from various factions of Great Qian, and even envoys from other countries, began to discuss amongst themselves.

At this moment, the assassin organization, the Underworld, had directly entered the high-level circles of the entire Eastern Cang Region.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen, who was diligently eating with Luo Li, showed a slight smile.

"Honestly, Ling Xuntian is quite a good guy."

He had been wondering how to increase the notoriety of the Underworld organization and attract business.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xuntian had directly seized the opportunity to promote him for free.

With this thought, Lu Chen ate his chicken leg with even greater relish.

However, just then. A semi-transparent panel reappeared before Lu Chen's eyes.

The Reversal Mission had appeared again.

[To complete the main quest, subjugating or eliminating the Four Great Families is a rather arduous task. Before that, you can also test the strength of the Four Great Families and understand them better. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.]

[Reversal Mission Issued: Publicly kill or assassinate a core member from any of the Four Great Families, letting them witness your might.]

[Mission Reward: A Heaven Tier top-grade, special, growth-type Supreme Treasure: Myriad Souls Banner!]

"Uh... Myriad Souls Banner?"

A Heaven Tier top-grade, growth-type special Supreme Treasure, the Myriad Souls Banner?

Seeing the reward for this Reversal Mission, Lu Chen was extremely tempted.

However, killing a core member of any of the Four Great Families, and doing so in broad daylight.

Wouldn't that inevitably expose his strength?

Lu Chen felt a headache coming on.

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles."

System, you're really something. You're not helping me understand the Four Great Families better.

You're clearly letting the Four Great Families understand me better!

Don't you understand the concept of developing stealthily?

Lu Chen felt helpless. Which side was this Reversal System on, anyway?

He sighed.

But still, the Myriad Souls Banner, a growth-type, Heaven Tier top-grade spiritual treasure...

Lu Chen's fingers twitched with anticipation.

It seemed he had to find an opportunity to openly deal with someone from the Four Great Families.

"Your Majesty. According to the Underworld assassin, that assassin also intended to take my fifth son, Ling Baijian's, life today. I implore Your Majesty to save him."

Here, Ling Xuntian wailed tearfully.

The Azure Emperor frowned slightly, his gaze towards Ling Xuntian filled with a hint of coldness and a trace of confusion.

The confusion stemmed from when a killer organization called the Underworld had appeared, even boasting experts at the Land Immortal Realm.

The coldness was directed at Ling Xuntian.

Ling Xuntian had directly brought his five sons to the imperial palace, clearly believing that the Azure Emperor would not stand idly by when he saw Ling Xuntian's son being assassinated in such a setting.

This feeling of being passively manipulated made the Azure Emperor extremely displeased.

The Azure Emperor merely sat in place, watching Ling Xuntian's performance blankly.

Seeing the Azure Emperor's indifference to her father's plea, Spirit Consort's face showed a resentful expression. The next moment, Spirit Consort also stood up and knelt directly before the Azure Emperor with a thump.

Upon seeing this, the Azure Emperor's expression turned furious.
