"This disciple is the Seventh Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Three days ago, a national war broke out between my Great Zhou and the Feather Transformation Dynasty. Originally, my Great Zhou King and the Feather Transformation Dynasty were evenly matched, but unexpectedly, a traitor appeared within the dynasty, wanting to replace him, and shamelessly allied with the Feather Transformation Dynasty. As of today, they have already reached the capital!"
"My Royal Father and Royal Mother, in order to preserve the Great Zhou's heritage, originally intended for two Great Zhou Clan Elders to escort me to the Taichu Holy Land. Unexpectedly, as soon as we left the capital, we were discovered by the Feather Transformation Dynasty, who sent a Dao Palace Realm Ninth Heaven expert to pursue me. The two Great Zhou Clan Elders diverted the Feather Transformation Dynasty's people so that I could escape and reach the Kunlun Sect's gate to meet the Sect Master!"
"Sect Master! That Feather Transformation Dynasty is simply like a beast; they massacre and destroy every city they pass through. The places they've been are utterly horrific; they don't even spare ordinary people! If possible, this disciple will personally annihilate the Feather Transformation Dynasty!"
"Hmph, what a Feather Transformation Dynasty, treating mortals as grass! Ling Xue, don't worry, as long as this Venerable One is here, no one in this world can harm you!" Lu Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze, and he said indifferently.
At this moment, towering rage surged in Lu Chen's heart. He knew that cultivators considered themselves superior and never regarded mortals, but he hadn't expected these cultivators, who fought against fate, to be so brutally murderous towards mortals. The Feather Transformation Dynasty was now on Lu Chen's blacklist, and he was determined to eradicate it!
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ling Xue quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Boom... Boom...
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen and the others heard a loud noise from not far away. Following the sound, two figures were rapidly approaching them from a nearby mountain peak.
Immediately after, a voice came from the two figures.
"Princess, why are you here? Quick, quick, leave!"
An old man in gray robes hurriedly shouted upon seeing Luo Lingxue.
Then, two old men with chaotic auras appeared before everyone.
They were precisely the Great Zhou Clan Elders mentioned by Ling Xue.
Ling Xue immediately became excited upon seeing the two old men and eagerly stepped forward, saying, "Ling Xue greets the two Great Zhou Clan Elders. Where are the Feather Transformation Dynasty's people, Great Zhou Clan Elders?"
The arrivals were precisely the Great Zhou Clan Elders who had escorted Ling Xue out of the capital. At this moment, regret appeared on the aged faces of the two Great Zhou Clan Elders as they saw the woman.
They shouldn't have come to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range. They had originally intended to perish with the Feather Transformation Dynasty's people before they died. But they hadn't expected their Princess not to go to the Taichu Holy Land and still be within Great Zhou territory.
"Princess, quick, leave! That Dao Palace Realm expert from the Feather Transformation Dynasty is about to catch up. Luo Tian and I originally wanted to drag the Feather Transformation Dynasty's people into the Burial Immortal Mountain Range to perish together, but I didn't expect you, Princess, to appear here!"
"We are guilty; we have failed our ancestors! We couldn't even preserve a trace of my Great Zhou's bloodline!"
The two Great Zhou Clan Elders immediately cried out in sorrow.
The two Great Zhou Clan Elders didn't pay attention to Lu Chen and the other three, and they couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from them. Although they didn't know why their Princess was with them, there was no time for them to ponder it now.
No spiritual energy fluctuations meant either minor cultivators below the Dao Palace Realm, as for above Dao Palace, he didn't even consider that possibility.
Because within the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was only one Great Zhou Old Ancestor, a Nascent Divinity Realm expert.
If he had known that Lu Chen and the other two were Nascent Divinity Realm experts, he would probably have been scared out of his wits.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Ling Xue's delicate body trembled. She hadn't expected the Feather Transformation Dynasty to truly pursue them relentlessly, chasing her, a Linghai Realm Princess, all the way just to kill her.
Just then.
Suddenly, a powerful aura appeared, pressing down on everyone, and then a middle-aged man in golden armor appeared in the air.
"Hehe, two ants ran quite fast."
The Golden Armor Man looked at the two Great Zhou Clan Elders mockingly.
"Hmm, the Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty? I didn't expect to find you so easily. You didn't obediently run to the Taichu Holy Land but are still waiting to die within the Great Zhou Dynasty."
At this moment, the Golden Armor Man noticed Ling Xue beside Lu Chen, and his eyes darkened as he spoke.
Luo Lingxue was the Heavenly Chosen Daughter of Great Zhou; she had broken through to the Linghai Realm at only seventeen years old. The Taichu Holy Land naturally saw her potential and intended to admit her.
Furthermore, news spread that the Holy Land would recruit disciples in a year, and Luo Lingxue could directly become a Holy Land disciple without needing to pass the test.
It was conceivable that once this news came out, the Great Zhou Dynasty might become a top power in Qingzhou.
The Feather Transformation Dynasty feared that a top genius would emerge from Great Zhou, and then the Feather Transformation Dynasty might be suppressed by Great Zhou. This was something the Feather Transformation Dynasty did not want to see, so they launched a national war to nip Ling Xue in the bud.
"Princess, run, quick, run!" The broken-armed Great Zhou Clan Elder hadn't even finished speaking when he suddenly spat out blood, his aura extremely weak.
Seeing this, Ling Xue looked at Lu Chen and cried out in urgent pleading, "Sect Master, Ling Xue begs you to save the two Great Zhou Clan Elders!"
Although she didn't know how strong Lu Chen was, she noticed that ever since the Golden Armor Man appeared, Lu Chen's expression had remained calm, without a single fluctuation. This indicated that Lu Chen was powerful and fearless of the person in front of him, or perhaps Lu Chen didn't know how powerful the Golden Armor Man in front of him was.
But at the moment, Lu Chen was her only hope!
"Wang Ming, kill the troublesome person in front of us."
Lu Chen looked indifferently at the Golden Armor Man with his hands behind his back and said to Wang Ming.
"Yes, Sect Master."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking.
"Hahaha, a few ants, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to say anything!"
The Golden Armor Man was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Chen's words, then he sneered.
He didn't think anyone among Lu Chen's group was stronger than him. He was a Dao Palace Realm Ninth Heaven expert. Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, if a Nascent Divinity Realm expert didn't appear, who would dare to oppose him? He had already probed the few people and found no spiritual energy fluctuations.
He hadn't expected that a few ants would dare to speak disrespectfully to him and challenge his authority. Immediately, a ruthless expression appeared on his face, and he angrily said,
"Ants, you're courting death!"
The Golden Armor Man stood in the air, raising his hand, and his spiritual power transformed into a massive palm, pressing down on everyone.
He wanted to kill these ants with one palm strike!
Bang...
With a loud bang,
The giant palm was dispersed by Wang Ming with a wave of his hand before it even landed.
"How is that possible?"
The Golden Armor Man's expression suddenly changed.
He was a Dao Palace Realm Ninth Heaven expert. Although that palm strike was just a casual one, even a Dao Palace Realm Eighth Heaven expert would find it extremely difficult to resolve.
One must know that in cultivation, a seemingly small difference in realm is like a chasm.
He hadn't expected his casual palm strike to be resolved by the person in front of him with a wave of his hand.
The Golden Armor Man was stunned for a moment, his expression changed, and he secretly thought, "Not good! I didn't expect this person to hide so deeply!"
Immediately, before he could react,
An incomparably powerful aura, like the sky collapsing, emanated from Wang Ming, instantly pressing the Golden Armor Man down from the air.
"Pfft!"
"Nascent... Nascent Divinity Realm!"
The Golden Armor Man fell from the air and knelt on the ground, spitting blood. He looked at Wang Ming with a terrified expression, his voice trembling as he said, "Se... Senior, I am from the Feather Transformation Dynasty. As long as Senior spares me..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Ming extended a finger and pointed at him. In an instant, it magnified infinitely in his eyes and crashed down.
"Ah! I am from the Feather Transformation Dynasty! If you dare to kill me, our Old Ancestor will never let you go..."
Bang...
Wang Ming's single finger instantly obliterated him.
A moment later.
"Nascent Divinity Realm!"
Hiss—
At this moment, Ling Xue was incredibly excited and couldn't help but gasp in disbelief, although she felt that the Kunlun Sect might be a hidden Sect.
But she hadn't expected the Kunlun Sect to actually have a Nascent Divinity Realm expert!
Her gaze towards Lu Chen now became utterly reverent; even a Nascent Divinity Realm expert obeyed his words.
"Then his strength must be above the Nascent Divinity Realm?"
Thinking of this, she inwardly rejoiced at her choice to join the Kunlun Sect earlier.
Whew...
She took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at Lu Chen, thinking,
"I wonder if the Sect Master will help save my Great Zhou!"
At this moment, the two Great Zhou Clan Elders reacted, their faces filled with terror, and they quickly bowed respectfully to Wang Ming, saying,
"We greet Senior. We were unaware of Senior's heavenly might earlier, please forgive us, Senior!"
They had not even given a proper look at the few people before. It turned out that it wasn't that they had no cultivation, but that they were too weak to sense the other party's aura.
