Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1399 - 1089: Young friend, how about joining our Heavenly Mountain Hall?

Liang Hong now felt as though he had swallowed something extremely unpleasant.

Noticing Liang Hong’s sudden change in expression, Yue Zhengze’s gaze then landed on the disciples behind Liang Hong.

Realizing what was going on, Yue Zhengze smiled and said, "Elder Liang, you are quite fortunate to have recruited so many disciples who broke through to the Returning Ruin Realm within the past five hundred years."

Hearing this, Liang Hong felt even more discomfort.

Damn it, why doesn’t our Heavenly Mountain Hall have such good luck? Why haven’t we encountered an Immortal Seed who broke through to the Returning Ruin Realm at sixteen?

Next, the people from Heart Moon Hall will probably be grinning from ear to ear.

Heart Moon Hall and Heavenly Mountain Hall, both at the bottom of the hierarchy, are in constant competition with each other.

Even more crucially, the relationship between the two Hall Masters is not good, and whenever disciples and elders from the two halls meet, it’s always like a clash of titans.

If it’s not you mocking me, it’s me denigrating you.

However, Heart Moon Hall has been suppressed by Heavenly Mountain Hall for countless years. If Heart Moon Hall were to suddenly rise, and produce a Saint Heir, they would surely wash away all past humiliations.

Thinking of possible retaliation from Heart Moon Hall, Liang Hong felt a chill down his spine.

Coming back to his senses, Liang Hong immediately put on a smile, looking at Lu Chen, and said, "Young friend, may I ask which Star Domain you’re from?"

Seeing Liang Hong smiling at Lu Chen, Yue Zhengze immediately became vigilant, seeing through Liang Hong’s scheme instantly. He then said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, let’s go, the Honored Master is still waiting for us."

Yue Zhengze’s words were a warning to Liang Hong that Lu Chen was favored by Emperor Yanyue, implying that the Heavenly Mountain Hall should not have any thoughts of taking him.

But Liang Hong didn’t seem to mind at all, directly suggesting to Lu Chen, "Young friend, why not come to our Heavenly Mountain Hall? Heart Moon Hall is the weakest hall within the entire Yunhua Palace, and they have the least cultivation resources."

"If you come to our Heavenly Mountain Hall, we guarantee that you’ll break through to the Saint Realm within ten years!"

Seeing Liang Hong’s audacity to openly poach talents in front of him, Yue Zhengze shouted, "Liang Hong, you are going too far!"

"How could Lu Chen, who was brought back by our Hall Master, possibly go to Heavenly Mountain Hall?"

Liang Hong sneered, "If he stays in Heart Moon Hall, it would be a waste of his talent."

"We all belong to Yunhua Palace, and the Palace Master never stipulated that the talents brought back by one hall must stay in that particular hall."

Seeing Liang Hong determined to take Lu Chen, Yue Zhengze’s Quasi-Emperor Realm aura immediately burst forth. Since the other side insisted on snatching the talent, there was no need for any further politeness.

Lu Chen was the hope for Heart Moon Hall’s resurgence; he must not enter Heavenly Mountain Hall.

Seeing that Yue Zhengze was ready for a fight, Liang Hong did not hesitate either and unleashed his own Quasi-Emperor might.

Instantly, the two forces clashed, making the surrounding disciples feel overwhelmingly pressured, as if their internal organs were being squeezed.

With a smile, Liang Hong said, "Elder Yue, do you really intend to fight here? This is Heavenly Mountain Hall’s territory."

Yue Zhengze snorted coldly and said, "Anyone who dares to have their eyes on Lu Chen, no matter who they are, must go through me first."

Seeing Yue Zhengze’s firm stance, Liang Hong withdrew his pressure and turned his gaze back to Lu Chen. "Young friend, if you ever change your mind, you are always welcome at Heavenly Mountain Hall. Our gates are always open for you."

With those words, Liang Hong left with the other disciples of Heavenly Mountain Hall, passing by Yue Zhengze.

Seeing that the confrontation did not escalate into a fight, the onlooking disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Though the Heavenly Dao imposes constraints, a fight between two Quasi-Emperors would still cause substantial destruction, potentially endangering the surrounding disciples’ lives.

As Liang Hong departed, Yue Zhengze also quickly took Lu Chen out of the Heavenly Mountain Hall’s territory.

On the way back, Yue Zhengze continued to caution Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, you must never listen to that man’s words. Although the overall strength of Heavenly Mountain Hall is stronger than Heart Moon Hall, they already have their own Saint Heir candidate."

"It’s impossible for a hall to produce two Saint Heirs. If you go to Heavenly Mountain Hall, not only will you not receive cultivation resources, but you might also face life-threatening dangers."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked in confusion, "They have their own Saint Heir? Isn’t the Saint Heir determined by the Palace Master?"

Yue Zhengze replied, "The Hall Master’s son of Heavenly Mountain Hall broke through to the Returning Ruin Realm in less than a hundred years, being recognized as Yunhua Palace’s most gifted prodigy in millennia."

"The Hall Master of Heavenly Mountain Hall has always hoped for his son to become the Saint Heir, but the previous Saintess broke his son’s record and became the most talented prodigy."

"The previous Saintess was deposed for certain reasons, then the Palace Master chose another Saintess."

"The current Saintess deeply displeased the Hall Master of Heavenly Mountain Hall, and he repeatedly voiced his demand to establish a Saint Heir to the Palace Master, who said she’d consider it before going into seclusion. Now the Hall Master still hopes his son becomes the Saint Heir."

"Your existence isn’t beneficial to the Hall Master of Heavenly Mountain Hall. Do you think they’d give you cultivation resources or recommend you to the Palace Master if you went there?"

"Surviving in Heavenly Mountain Hall would be difficult for you."

Lu Chen then said, "Thank you for the warning, esteemed elder. I won’t go to Heavenly Mountain Hall."

Hearing Lu Chen’s assurance, Yue Zhengze felt relieved.

Yue Zhengze then smiled, "You don’t need to worry, though. As long as you stay in Heart Moon Hall until the Palace Master emerges from her seclusion, no matter how much Heavenly Mountain Hall dislikes the idea of you becoming the Saint Heir, they won’t be able to do anything to you with the Hall Master present."

Listening to Yue Zhengze, Lu Chen smiled. He had no plans to stay in Heart Moon Hall; he wanted to stir things up.

Moreover, the conflict between Heavenly Mountain Hall and Heart Moon Hall was the perfect opportunity for Lu Chen to execute his schemes. He already had a plan in mind.

In the meantime.

Elsewhere.

On the way back, Liang Hong’s face was gloomy, and his body exuded an invisible pressure that made the disciples behind him hold their breaths.

At that moment, a disciple timidly asked, "Honored Master, don’t we already have Senior Brother Su? Why did you still try to recruit that person?"

Without expression, Liang Hong replied, "Heavenly Mountain Hall has always been on top of Heart Moon Hall. If Heart Moon Hall suddenly produces a Saint Heir, their status would rise significantly, and they would certainly seek revenge against Heavenly Mountain Hall."

"Any hall can produce a Saint Heir, but not Heart Moon Hall."

"Besides, who becomes the Saint Heir is up to the Palace Master. If something were to happen to that person before the Palace Master emerges from seclusion, he wouldn’t be a threat to Young Master Su."

Understanding Liang Hong’s intentions, the disciples immediately realized that the plan was to cripple the talent if he ever joined Heavenly Mountain Hall, eliminating any competition for Su Hongxuan’s bid for Saint Heir.
