Chapter 623 - 371: Impossible, How Could You Possibly Be the North Prince!!!_1
```
North Country actually has a Celestial!!!
How is this possible?
The Master of Divine Communication’s entire mind went blank; he had never considered the possibility of a Celestial appearing in the North Country.
When he snapped back to reality, the Master of Divine Communication suddenly thought of something.
Mysterious Moon Palace...
It must be Mysterious Moon Palace!
The Palace Master of Mysterious Moon Palace stayed at North Prince Mansion for quite a long time, didn’t she? This proves that the North Prince has a very good relationship with Mysterious Moon Palace, so this Celestial must have been sent by them!
An idea to escape flashed through the Master of Divine Communication’s mind instantaneously.
He was already struggling to deal with Zhuge Zhongguang, and now, not only was there a Pseudo Celestial, but also a genuine Celestial. There was no way he could be their match.
At this moment, the Master of Divine Communication gripped the knife in his hand and swung it fiercely.
Heavenly Destruction Eighteen Slash!!!
In the next instant, eighteen purple streaks of blade energy flew towards Lu Chen and the others. Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately raised his hand and struck out with his palm, dispersing the eighteen blade energies instantaneously.
But when the dust settled, the Master of Divine Communication had vanished without a trace.
Seeing that the Master of Divine Communication was fleeing, Xuanyuan Chaoge was about to take action when Lu Chen said at his side, "Don’t rush, let’s wait until he leaves the city."
The self-destruction of Eternally Mysterious Taoist just now was enough to destroy a city. If it weren’t for its distance from New City, the New City would surely have been affected.
If they were to attack the Master of Divine Communication now and push him into a corner, he might just detonate his Dantian just like Eternally Mysterious Taoist did. If it happened within the city, the common people would certainly not survive, so it would be best to take action outside the city.
Hearing Lu Chen’s reminder, Xuanyuan Chaoge instantly understood and promptly said, "This old servant understands."
Xuanyuan Chaoge then released his spiritual power, sensing the exact location of the Master of Divine Communication, but he did not pursue him immediately.
After a short while, the Master of Divine Communication left the old city. With the speed of a Pseudo Celestial, it would take only the blink of an eye for him to cover several thousand meters.
Feeling that the Master of Divine Communication was sufficiently far from the old city, Xuanyuan Chaoge spoke to Lu Chen, "Great King, the Master of Divine Communication has left the old city. Even if he detonates his Dantian now, it will no longer affect the old city."
Lu Chen immediately said, "Good, let’s set off then, and take me with you."
"Yes, Great King."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Xuanyuan Chaoge placed his hand on Lu Chen’s shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan Chaoge had brought Lu Chen to the Master of Divine Communication’s front.
At this moment, the Master of Divine Communication, thinking that no one was pursuing him, felt extremely exhilarated, believing he had escaped. Little did he know that Xuanyuan Chaoge and Lu Chen were already waiting for him ahead.
The Master of Divine Communication then cursed, "What a damn Celestial! Still couldn’t catch up with me!"
"Lucky I ran fast enough, otherwise I would have ended up like Eternally Mysterious, that fellow!"
"It’s all Sum Emperor’s fault. This is surely all a trap set by Sum Emperor. He wants to use the North Country Celestial to get rid of us. Once I make it back alive, I will definitely lead Four Directions Mountain to attack Great Sum!"
As the Master of Divine Communication was muttering to himself, a voice came from afar, "To lead Four Directions Mountain to attack Great Sum, I’m afraid you no longer have that chance."
Hearing this voice, the Master of Divine Communication froze, halting in his tracks instantly. And that’s when he violently realized that the young Pseudo Celestial and the Celestial were waiting for him up ahead.
How could this be...
He had fled at full speed, using all his power, and he had not sensed anyone catching up to him just before. How could these two appear in front of him!
The Master of Divine Communication immediately tightened his grip on the large knife, "Who exactly are you?"
```
Hearing this question, Lu Chen chuckled, it seemed The Master of Divine Communication was just as clueless as Eternally Mysterious Taoist about his own appearance.
But that wasn’t surprising, after all, he had always stayed in the North Prince Mansion and seldom came out.
Then Lu Chen said, "Isn’t The Master of Divine Communication here to kill me? How come you don’t even know who I am? You’re not very competent as an assassin."
Upon hearing this, the same expression that had previously been on Eternally Mysterious Taoist’s face now appeared on The Master of Divine Communication’s.
He widened his eyes, looking at Lu Chen in disbelief.
"North... North Prince..."
"Impossible, how can you be the North Prince? How old is the North Prince this year? How can he possibly become a Pseudo Celestial!!!"
Lu Chen indifferently said, "Whether you believe it or not is unimportant, what matters is whether you want to live or die."
The Master of Divine Communication quickly came to his senses. He knew that escape was hopeless—if he could have fled from a Celestial, then Eternally Mysterious Taoist should have been able to escape too, and he wouldn’t have needed to self-detonate his Dantian.
The fact that even after Eternally Mysterious Taoist’s self-detonation of his Dantian, neither Lu Chen nor the old man were significantly harmed proved that a Celestial’s strength far surpassed that of a Pseudo Celestial.
One character difference, but a world of difference in reality.
Immediately, The Master of Divine Communication said, "I want to live! This old man wants to live!!!"
"Whatever you want to know, my Prince, I will tell you, as long as you are willing to let this old man go!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen gave a slight smile, then spoke, "It must have been my Imperial Father who sent you to assassinate me, am I right?"
The Master of Divine Communication immediately said, "Yes, he said that becoming a Celestial required the death of all the Seigniors. We took it as the truth, so this old man and Eternally Mysterious Taoist joined hands in preparation to assassinate you."
"Little did I know, all this is a plot by the Sum Emperor; he simply wanted to use the North Country’s hand to eliminate this old man and Eternally Mysterious Taoist!"
At this point, The Master of Divine Communication clenched his teeth in rage, wishing he could rush back to the Capital city right now to settle the score with the Sum Emperor. If it wasn’t for the Sum Emperor, how could they have ended up in the situation they faced today?
They had already become Pseudo Celestials, just one step away from becoming true Celestials, and yet at this very moment, they faced a life and death crisis.
Seeing the twisted expression of unwillingness on The Master of Divine Communication’s face, Lu Chen said with a laugh, "You’ve lived for over a hundred years and yet you’re still so naive. How could you be so sure that what he said about becoming a Celestial was true?"
"The conditions for becoming a Celestial are vitally important for a Pseudo Celestial who is entering the Unity Realm. If these conditions were known, they could very well be obstructed by others with ulterior motives."
Generally speaking, to become a Celestial surely involves some difficulty. Zhuge Zhongguang initially speculated that the Sum Emperor’s condition for becoming a Celestial was the unification of the entire Great Xia Dynasty. If that were the condition, it would definitely be a challenging task for the Sum Emperor.
But if the Sum Emperor’s condition to become a Celestial was merely the killing of all the Seigniors, such a condition would be far too easy in comparison, and obviously, couldn’t be true—the Sum Emperor clearly wasn’t telling the truth.
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, The Master of Divine Communication paused for a moment, realizing they had been tricked. But by this point, such thoughts were futile; when it came down to it, surviving was what mattered most. If only he could survive, once he broke through to the Heavenly Human Realm, he would seek revenge against the Sum Emperor.
The Master of Divine Communication then said, "My Prince, this old man knows he was wrong. As long as you spare this old man, upon returning, I will lead the entire Four Directions Mountain to serve you!"
Hearing The Master of Divine Communication’s words, Lu Chen glanced at the personal information of The Master of Divine Communication.
[Name: The Master of Divine Communication]
[Identity: Ancestor of Four Directions Mountain]
[Strength: Pseudo Celestial]

[Loyalty: -50]
Lu Chen chuckled. Originally, he had considered whether he could subdue The Master of Divine Communication and then bring the entire Four Directions Mountain over to his side, but upon seeing a negative loyalty, he dismissed the idea.
If it had been zero, he might have accepted it, but negative meant no chance. Negative loyalty proved he had no intention of pledging allegiance to the North Country.
Lu Chen then said, "Very well, but you will need to sign a Blood Covenant with me."
