316: Chapter 316: The Moon

After the two of them had been intimate for a while.

Chen Hu held Saintess Luoyan and asked: "Saintess Luoyan, are you willing to leave the Holy Moon Sect?"

"Mm, I will listen to Brother Hu!" Saintess Luoyan said obediently.

"Then leave it!"

Chen Hu said: "How could my woman be controlled by a mere evil sect? By the way, has anyone in the Holy Moon Sect given you a hard time? Tell me, and I will vent your anger for you!"

Hearing Chen Hu say this, a chill flashed in Saintess Luoyan's eyes: "Brother Hu, someone has indeed bullied me. This person is the Holy Moon Sect's person in charge in the Royal Capital. He has repeatedly made things difficult for me and coerced me, wanting me to submit to him. If it weren't for the fact that my Revered Master is the Sect Leader, I fear he would have already used forceful means to compel my submission!"

"Oh, who is he? Tell me, and I will help you vent this bad breath right now!"

Chen Hu said coldly. Daring to harbor designs on his woman was a path to death.

Saintess Luoyan said: "His disguised identity is a wealthy merchant in the Royal Capital named He Nanshan. His residence is at...!"

After Saintess Luoyan revealed the location where the other party was hiding.

Chen Hu's Divine Sense immediately extended outward, finding that mansion.

In the He residence, inside a spacious secret room.

Ever since the Holy Moon Sect connected with the Second Prince, He Nanshan had been the one leading this mission.

His status was one of the Bright Moon Envoys of the Holy Moon Sect, and his cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Blood Refining.

In the Holy Moon Sect, his position was second only to the Sect Leader, the Ten Elders, and the Four Protectors.

As for why he dared to covet Saintess Luoyan, the Saintess.

The reason was simple: there was more than one Saint and Saintess in the Holy Moon Sect, and their status was only equivalent to that of an ordinary Elder.

Not to mention him, a Bright Moon Envoy, they were not even as high-ranking as a Star Envoy.

Emperor Jingren abdicating to Chen Hu caught He Nanshan off guard.

Originally, they wanted to support the Second Prince in ascending the throne and then use the Second Prince to strike at the Zhenwu Division.

During this time, they had sent beauties, gold, silver, jewelry, and resources to Cultivate.

Who knew that after paying so much, it would all be in vain.

"Lord Moon Envoy, now that the Second Prince has no possibility of ascending the throne, should we still remain in the Royal Capital?"

A Star Envoy asked He Nanshan respectfully.

In order to assist He Nanshan in his actions, the Holy Moon Sect had also dispatched four Star Envoys to aid him.

Besides this, there were hundreds of Disciples in the Bone Refining and Marrow Refining realms lurking throughout the Royal Capital.

"Orders have not yet come from above, so we will remain in the Royal Capital and await orders. Remember, do not stir up trouble during this time. Before we have figured out Chen Hu's true strength, we should not move rashly!" He Nanshan said in a low voice.

Although it was rumored that Chen Hu's cultivation had reached the Hunyuan Martial Saint, He Nanshan was still quite skeptical about this.

After all, there hadn't been a Hunyuan Martial Saint born in over five hundred years; how could a mere young man in his twenties suddenly become a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

"Yes!"

The four Star Envoys responded in unison and then prepared to leave through the secret passage of the secret room.

Just at this moment.

A figure flashed, and a man holding a woman appeared out of thin air in the secret room.

When they saw the faces of this pair, He Nanshan and the four Star Envoys all changed color drastically.

Because the man before them was none other than Chen Hu, who had accepted the abdication of Emperor Jingren yesterday.

Because he had been on the hidden dragon ranking, Chen Hu's appearance was not a secret.

Chen Hu ignored the four Star Envoys and looked at He Nanshan with icy eyes, then said to Saintess Luoyan: "Saintess Luoyan, do you want to kill him yourself, or shall I do it?"

"I would like to slaughter this guy myself, but my cultivation is not enough to look at!"

Saintess Luoyan said coquettishly, but when her gaze swept over He Nanshan, a flash of chill and killing intent appeared.

"Saintess Luoyan, are you going to betray the Holy Sect?"

He Nanshan shouted sternly, while also feeling somewhat dazed inside. How could Saintess Luoyan have hooked up with Chen Hu?

"So what if I betray it?" Saintess Luoyan smiled disdainfully: "I am now Brother Hu's person. Could it be that the sect would dare to oppose Brother Hu, this Hunyuan Martial Saint?"

At this moment.

Chen Hu reached out with his hand, and He Nanshan was grabbed and pulled in front of him. Furthermore, his entire cultivation was sealed.

"Saintess Luoyan, you can do it now!"

Chen Hu smiled.

Feeling his cultivation sealed, He Nanshan's expression became extremely panicked, and he immediately said: "Saintess, please spare my life! In the past, it was all because I was blind and offended you. I am willing to apologize and compensate, please give me a chance, Saintess!"

"If you knew today would come, why act as you did in the past!" Saintess Luoyan was not soft-hearted in the face of He Nanshan's begging. A short sword appeared in her hand, and she stabbed directly at the center of his eyebrows.

"Puchi!"

He Nanshan, who possessed a Late Stage of Blood Refining cultivation, had his brow pierced by a single sword strike from Saintess Luoyan, who was only at the Early-stage Bone-Refining Realm.

Seeing this scene.

The four Star Envoys were almost scared out of their wits and immediately knelt on the ground: "Saintess, please spare us! We have not offended the Saintess!"

"Get up, all of you. I am not an unreasonable person; I will not kill you!"

Saintess Luoyan said indifferently.

"Thank you, Saintess! Thank you for sparing our lives, Saintess!"

The four Star Envoys all breathed a sigh of relief.

Swoosh!

A figure flashed, and Chen Hu disappeared from the spot with Saintess Luoyan.

When they appeared again, they had arrived at the Imperial Palace.

"Saintess Luoyan, let me ask you a question: are you willing to enter the palace and become a concubine, or remain in the imperial court as a female official, or perhaps be both a concubine and a female official?" Chen Hu asked dotingly.

"I don't want to be a female official; that's so tiring. I just want to be a concubine who relies on Brother Hu!"

Saintess Luoyan lay in Chen Hu's arms, her charming eyes looking like silk.

"Alright, then I will appoint you as the Moon Noble Consort!" Chen Hu said.

Although an emperor usually only had four noble consorts, that was the rule of the Great Yong Dynasty.

He would not be bound by the rules of the previous dynasty.

Besides, no matter what, Saintess Luoyan was his second woman.

So what if he appointed her as a noble consort?

"This concubine thanks Your Majesty!" Saintess Luoyan said happily immediately.

Afterward, Chen Hu immediately wrote the imperial edict to appoint Saintess Luoyan.

He also personally took her to choose a palace to live in.

At the same time, he transferred dozens of palace maids to serve her.

As for eunuchs, even if they were eunuchs, Chen Hu would not let them serve his women closely; at most, he would let them do some rough work.

Upon learning that Chen Hu had appointed another noble consort.

Except for Luo Ningshuang who was busy with the Brocade Guard, the other women, led by Empress Xiahou Jing, came to visit and offer their greetings.

For now, his harem was relatively harmonious.

There were no instances of infighting.

At first, Saintess Luoyan was a bit nervous, but soon, under the initiative of the other women to show goodwill, she hit it off with them directly.

Laughter and cheerful voices constantly emanated from the palace.

Meanwhile.

The news of He Nanshan being killed by Chen Hu was also transmitted through the Holy Moon Sect's intelligence transmission channel to the hands of the Holy Moon Sect Leader, Sect Leader Tian Yue.

Indeed, although Sect Leader Tian Yue was not in the Royal Capital, she was hiding in the suburbs of the Royal Capital.

When she saw the intelligence sent from the Royal Capital.

A look of astonishment could not help but flash across Sect Leader Tian Yue's beautiful face. Her own Disciple, Saintess Luoyan, had actually hooked up with Chen Hu, who was suspected to be a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

As for He Nanshan's death, she did not take it to heart at all.

He was just a Bright Moon Envoy; if he died, he died.

She would not offend someone suspected to be a Hunyuan Martial Saint just because of a Bright Moon Envoy.

One must know that she had been trapped in the Late Stage of Qi Refining for many years.

If Chen Hu was truly a Hunyuan Martial Saint, could she not use her relationship with her Disciple, Saintess Luoyan, to ask Chen Hu for guidance?
