Sengoku, conference hall.
Generally speaking, most of the things that needed to be reported to the Divine Master or handled by the Divine Master would be done in the Divine Master's courtyard. Only very important or serious matters would be handled in the conference hall. At this moment, the Divine Master and Divine Empress were sitting in the conference hall, including the four Immortal Lords, Yao, and Lu An.
There were only eight of them, and no one else. Everyone sat down, and with Yuan's comfort, Jun's emotions were quickly controlled. She knew that as the Divine Empress, she had to maintain her composure and not embarrass herself at all times, so she suppressed the pain and despair in her heart.
The four Immortal Lords looked at the Divine Master and Divine Empress, and no one dared to speak. The two of them were too emotional, and it was up to them to decide what to do in the end. However, according to the immortal rules … Chen would definitely die.
However, when it came to one's own flesh and blood, many things could not be judged rationally. This was human instinct. Many things had to be overcome by emotional instincts, and it was up to the Divine Master to deal with things according to the immortal rules.
If … the Divine Master really gave them a way out, the four Immortal Lords would not agree. Although they were subordinates, they would definitely advise with all their might, and this was also the responsibility of the four Immortal Lords. Everything had to be considered from Sengoku's point of view, and not from an individual's point of view.
Yuan looked at Jun who had finally calmed down, took a deep breath, turned to Sheng, and said, "We have to make a decision about Chen and Qi."
"…"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Even Lu An looked at Yuan, wondering what kind of decision he would make.
Sheng immediately nodded and said, "What do you think, Divine Master?"
"The clan has its rules." Yuan's voice was very heavy, and he said forcefully, "I can't bend the law for personal gain, and I can't let the Deathkins have a handle on me. If one day they use this to make a big fuss, and Chen and Qi are still alive, Sengoku's reputation and status will be greatly damaged, or even completely destroyed. Everything will be done according to the immortal rules, and they will be executed! "
"…"
Everyone was shocked, and the tears that Jun had just held back flowed down uncontrollably. She raised her hand to cover her face, trying hard not to cry out loud, but she could not hide her sadness.
Not only was Jun sad, Yao was also sad, and tears fell down her face.
Lu An looked at Yao and was a little silent. He reached out and held his wife's hand. This kind of thing could only be slowly accepted by oneself. Saying anything would be superfluous.
After hearing the Immortal Master's decision, the four Immortal Monarchs heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Immortal Master did not need them to worry and had made the correct choice.
In fact, how could Sheng not be in pain? Even if he knew that Qi had betrayed him, how could he not be sad when his son was executed? Moreover, even after Chen died, the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress still had a son and a daughter, but he really had nothing. He also had no intention of marrying again, which meant that he would have no more descendants.
Looking at the Immortal Empress, Sheng was hesitant to speak. After some consideration, he decided to speak up. Rather than letting the Immortal Empress lose control again after she calmed down, he might as well finish the discussion in one go. This way, he would be able to reduce the number of ups and downs.
"When will it be carried out?" Sheng asked. "Also, should we announce this to the public? Especially the reason why the two of them were sentenced to death. Is there a need to tell others? "
"…"
The Immortal Master frowned. This was indeed an extremely important matter. The news of the two of them being executed naturally had to be announced. Otherwise, if Chen disappeared for too long, it would definitely arouse suspicion. In order to warn others, the news of their deaths had to be announced. However, as for the cause of death … the Immortal Master did not want to announce it.
It was not for his own dignity, but for Sengoku's dignity.
As long as the Deathkin did not announce this matter to the public, this matter could be hidden forever, and outsiders would never know of the two's crimes. Even if the Deathkin announced it to the public, Sengoku would have already executed the two of them. There would be no problem with the execution, but there would be some concealment. However, in comparison, the latter seemed to be better.
"Let's not announce their crimes for the time being." The Immortal Master thought about it seriously, then said, "Announcing their crimes now will affect the Commander's future. In any case, let's settle the other matters first.
As for the execution date … let's do it as soon as possible. " The Immortal Master took a deep breath, and his voice instantly became hoarse. Even he could not bear the pain of losing a son.
As he spoke, Yuan turned to look at Jun, trying to calm his tone as much as possible, and asked softly, "It's better to end the pain quickly than to prolong the pain. We'll just treat it as if he died on the battlefield … What do you think?"
"…" The Immortal Empress washed her face with tears. She looked up at her husband, but her eyes were completely blurred by tears, and she could not open them at all. She could not bear it any longer, and finally cried out loud.
The four Immortal Masters looked at the Immortal Empress. They had known her for so long, and all the words and actions of the Immortal Empress had always been very appropriate, and she had been imitated as a role model. They had never lost their composure, let alone become like this.
The Immortal Empress had lost control of her emotions, and now was not the time to talk about things. There was no other way, everything was too sudden. The Immortal Master waved his hand at the four Immortal Masters, asking them to leave. After the four Immortal Masters left, the Immortal Master looked at Yao and Lu An, and after thinking about it, he also asked them to leave.
This junior could not do anything to comfort them.
"The two of you come again at noon the day after tomorrow." Yuan looked at the two and said.
Lu An got up, bowed, and said, "Yes."
Then, Lu An looked at Yao, who was also crying, and reached out his hand to pull her up. The two of them crying would only magnify the sadness, and no one could stop. Only by separating could they calm down.
"Let's go." Lu An said softly, and left Sengoku with Yao.

Eight Ancient Continent, Ice Fire Union.
On the top floor of the central pavilion, the six women of the Lu Clan were gathered. Yao suddenly came back and called Lu An away happily, and everyone guessed what had happened. Although they were not sure, the possibility was very high. Otherwise, even Liu Yi could not think of anything that could make them so excited.
If the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress came out of seclusion and really broke through to the Heavenly King Realm, it would be a big deal. It meant that other than the Hachiko clan, there were finally Heavenly King Realm experts in the world. More importantly, after the Hachiko clan retired, the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress would become the strongest experts, and they could easily command humans and beasts. And Lu An was the son-in-law of Sengoku. Even if the Dragons were given the courage, they would not dare to attack Lu An, and so would all the humans and beasts in the world. This was the real reason why Lu An was safe.
Of course, the most important thing was the attitude of the Hachiko clan, especially … the attitude of the God of Heaven Mountain.
The Hachiko clan had people guarding Sengoku. Once the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress came out of seclusion, the Hachiko clan would definitely get the news. The Immortal Master and Immortal Empress who had just broken through to the Heavenly King Realm were definitely not the Hachiko clan's opponents. And the Hachiko clan obeyed the God of Heaven Mountain, and the most important thing was … the attitude of the God of Heaven.
If the God of Heaven wanted Sengoku to participate in the war, he would remove the restriction on Sengoku. If the God of Heaven did not want to, even if the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress broke through, it would be useless.
As for what the God of Heaven would choose, Liu Yi did not guess, because it was useless to guess. It was better to wait for the result.
The six women had been waiting here for a long time. It had been more than an hour since Lu An And Yao left, and they still had not returned. However, if the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress broke through, they would have a lot of things to do. If they held another banquet, it would take longer. However, no one left. They continued to sit here and wait, chatting and laughing with each other to pass the time.
Finally, a Divine Realm Gate suddenly lit up, causing the six women's bodies to tremble, and they immediately stood up.
The person who walked out of the Divine Realm Gate was Lu An And Yao!
Just as the six women who were originally filled with anticipation and joy were about to speak, they suddenly realized that Yao was actually crying! Tears continuously flowed down her cheeks, and her peerlessly beautiful face was extremely pale!
What was going on?!
The six women were instantly stupefied! When Yao called Lu An and left, she was still extremely excited and happy. How did she become like this in just an hour? Just what happened during this period of time?
All of the questions the six women had were immediately stuck in their mouths, and they swallowed them back into their stomachs. The six women hurriedly went forward to comfort Yao, while Liu Yi looked at Yao's crying appearance and quickly pondered. Although Yao was gentle, she rarely cried. She had only seen her bawl for Lu An's safety before. To be able to make Yao cry, and Lu An was fine, the possibility of what was left was pitifully small.
Could it be …
"Husband, just what happened?" Liu Yi hurriedly asked.
Lu An looked at Liu Yi, and also looked at the five women who were looking at him with puzzled gazes. Taking a deep breath, he explained everything that had happened earlier.
