Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

The originally calm sea surface, because of someone on the large ship, instantly became turbulent, and the large ship was in danger of capsizing; once again, the voice of that man came from the cabin of the large ship.

"Heavenly Demon Lord, this humble one can take you to find him!"

"This humble one knows that the Heavenly Demon Lord has not yet recovered, so I specially prepared a container for you."

As he spoke, the door of the large ship's cabin opened, and inside were hundreds of young men and women bound.

The young men and women who saw the black sea towering over the ship turned pale with fear, and cries of terror filled the dark night for a moment.

At that moment, the black seawater suddenly surged into the cabin and, in an instant, the men and women were swallowed by the sea.

When the black seawater receded, only one man was still standing in the middle of the cabin, his eyes emitting a crimson glow, as he looked towards the attic of the large ship.

At that time, a young man dressed in black bowed respectfully and said, "This humble one greets the Heavenly Demon Lord!"

By then, the man in the middle of the cabin had been possessed by the legendary Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon, in a murky voice, said, "I can feel the demonic qi on you, are you a demon cultivator?"

The Leader of the Taiyin Sect answered, "Yes, my lord."

The Heavenly Demon continued, "How did you find out I was here?"

The Leader of the Taiyin Sect said, "When the Great Qian Dynasty was hit by a plague, this humble one sensed your presence, but at that time your qi was very weak, and I could not determine your location."

The Heavenly Demon did not continue on this subject, but instead said, "Recently, my feeding ground has been disrupted, do you know who is messing with it?"

Upon hearing this, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect instantly smiled and quickly said, "Heavenly Demon Lord, this humble one knows who has disrupted your feeding ground."

"Not long ago, the Daxia Emperor led his troops to attack the Great Qian, and wherever he went, he dispersed the plague, he must be a cultivator from the high-level cultivation realm."

At the words "cultivator," the Heavenly Demon's eyes instantly emitted a dazzling red light. What he lacked most now was power; if he could devour that cultivator, his power should recover significantly.

Eventually, he could leave this place devoid of spiritual energy. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

In such a low-level world, not to mention cultivators, even a Heavenly Demon could not bear to remain.

Ever since he fell into this world, he had been sleeping at the bottom of the ocean, and it wasn't easy to awaken; it took countless years to encounter humans and begin spreading the plague in the Great Qian.

But restoring power in this way was always too slow; it was quicker to directly devour a cultivator.

The Heavenly Demon promptly said, "Take me to find the cultivator you mentioned immediately!"

The Leader of the Taiyin Sect smiled, bowed, and said, "Yes, this humble one will take the Heavenly Demon Lord there right away!"

In his mind, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect thought, this was finally the chance to get rid of that freak.

Ever since they went into hiding, they had been constantly hunted by Lu Chen's people. Initially, they thought that from the shadows, they could continuously create all sorts of trouble for Lu Chen. What they hadn't expected was that Lu Chen's people, having learned some kind of cultivation technique, were actually able to sense the demonic qi on them in advance.

Many strongholds of the Taiyin Sect had been uprooted by the Daxia Dynasty, and the members of the Taiyin Sect, upon encountering the disciples from the Sunset Sword Sect and Tai Chu Divine Hall, mostly had no option but to flee. The cultivation techniques practiced by these two sects were particularly effective against demon cultivators, forcing the Taiyin Sect to take refuge in Great Qian.

However, it wasn't long before Daxia launched another military assault on Great Qian. Fortunately, at this time, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect detected an area over the sea that was filled with dense demonic qi.

As a demonic cultivator, he immediately guessed what had caused this concentration of demonic qi. Coupled with the ongoing plague in Great Qian, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect concluded that a Heavenly Demon had also appeared in this world.

Since Heavenly Demons are the natural enemies of cultivators, by simply telling the Heavenly Demon that there were cultivators in this world to consume, the Heavenly Demon would certainly follow him.

Efforts paid off for those who persevered; they finally located the Heavenly Demon and even succeeded in gaining its allegiance.

Next, they only needed to bring the Heavenly Demon to where Lu Chen was. With the Heavenly Demon on their side, even if Lu Chen had the support of many Celestials behind him, they wouldn't stand a chance against them.

Thinking of this, the smile on the Leader of the Taiyin Sect's face grew more and more fervent.

…

After the battle at Danxin City, Lu Chen, along with Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi, headed towards the capital of Great Qian. During their journey, he had not done anything to the two fairies, as he had just conquered Great Qian and had many tasks to attend to.

Even on the road to the capital of Great Qian, Lu Chen was busy with various state affairs inside the carriage, which made Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi realize that Lu Chen was not just lecherous, he was an ambitious emperor.

After more than ten days of arduous travel, they finally arrived at the capital of Great Qian. When the commonfolk of the capital heard of the arrival of the Daxia Emperor, they spontaneously came out of the city or waited on the streets.

During his journey to Great Qian, Lu Chen had introduced many policies beneficial to the commonfolk and used the Demon-Expelling Banner at each stop to dispel the plague there.

This deed had already spread to the capital, and Lu Chen's popularity in Great Qian had far surpassed that of the former Qian Emperor.

Mu Yunxi, sitting in the carriage, saw the sea of people outside the city welcoming Lu Chen. She turned to Liu Qingqiu with a smile and said, "Seeing this scene, what do you feel?"

"You've been struggling in Great Qian for so many years, yet you never gained the approval of the people of Great Qian. They even called you Demon Queen, while Lu Chen gained the hearts of the people of Great Qian in just a few months."

Liu Qingqiu did not respond, her expression cold. Naturally, she felt uncomfortable, but she didn't care anymore, since all of this was only temporary. Once she dealt with Lu Chen, she would ascend the throne and declare emperorship. By then, she would enact policies beneficial to the people, and the hearts of the people of Great Qian would return to her once again.

Lu Chen did not stay in the carriage the entire time. When he arrived outside the capital of Great Qian, he stepped out from the carriage and mounted a horse, allowing the commonfolk to see what their emperor looked like.

Usually, the emperors of Great Qian rode inside a carriage, and most commoners never knew what their emperor looked like in their lifetimes.

When the people of Great Qian saw Lu Chen, they were very excited. They had not expected the Daxia Emperor to appear so approachable.

When Lu Chen arrived at the gates of the capital, the ministers of Great Qian had already prepared the documents of surrender and brought the Jade Seal.

At this moment, Liu Qingqiu stepped out of the carriage and walked up to the assembled officials.

Upon seeing Liu Qingqiu, the Demon Queen, some who had seen her before immediately started cursing.

"Demon Queen, it's all because of this Demon Queen that Great Qian has suffered so much!"

"This Demon Queen is still not dead!"

"Execute her! Execute her!"
