If Lu Chen wanted to kill the Crimson Lotus Princess, he could directly cast powerful spells such as the Five Elements Calamity Scripture, Four Symbols Thunder Scripture, and Three Aspects Return to One Scripture, along with the Five Element Divine Fist. Di Wanren alone would not be able to stop him.
However, Lu Chen had no intention of killing the Crimson Lotus Princess, as there was no need for it. He never had such thoughts in the past, nor did he have them now.
But in the future, he could not guarantee that.
"Has the Princess not given up on this idea?" Lu Chen said with a bitter smile, surprised by how much the Crimson Lotus Princess admired him.
A soldier would die for someone who understands him. If it were in the past, Lu Chen might have actually agreed, but that was not possible now.
"No, I have never given up. You are a decisive person, brave and resourceful, with impressive skills. I hold you in high regard. If you could join our Qi Kingdom's camp, our chances of success would increase significantly."
The Crimson Lotus Princess gently pushed aside Di Wanren, speaking calmly as if everything was under her control. Her every word revealed her admiration for Lu Chen; after all, it is often said that while it's easy to find a thousand troops, it's hard to find a general.
"I appreciate the Princess's good intentions. You once tried to persuade me about this matter, but I have already made my stance clear and my decision is firm. I hope the Princess can understand me."
Lu Chen slowly spoke, recalling how the Crimson Lotus Princess had come alone to Empty Mountain Cave to try to recruit him into Qi Kingdom's camp. She set an example and was even willing to sacrifice herself for this cause, but ultimately faced rejection from Lu Chen.
The Crimson Lotus Princess's face flushed slightly as she cleared her throat, looking for an opportunity to change the subject.
Just then, Lu Chen waved his hand, and two boxes containing an Iron Sword and Longevity Pill disappeared from the table.
In front of Princess Zhulan and Di Wanren, and under their astonished gazes, he stored the two treasures into Jun Bell and then stood up to leave.
"Brother Lu Chen, where are you going?"
The Crimson Lotus Princess asked in surprise as she saw Lu Chen preparing to leave.
"Of course, it's to leave this place."
Lu Chen had already reached the door. He glanced back and then walked straight out of Empty Mountain Cave.
"Lu Chen, are you going to the desert?" Crimson Lotus Princess and Di Wanren chased after him, calling out loudly.
"With the Princess's wisdom, you should have guessed it long ago," Lu Chen replied. In an instant, his Flesh flickered and transformed into a Thunderous Python, soaring through the air like a Yin Spirit.
Now he had entered Spirit-Body Unity; his Yin Spirit no longer required Disembodiment and could use Spell.
"Lu Chen, you shouldn't be leaving!" Crimson Lotus Princess shouted in protest, standing on the ground and facing the direction Lu Chen had gone.
But Lu Chen could no longer hear her. He invoked the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture, manifesting his Flesh as lightning. In an instant, he covered ten miles with an astonishing speed, arriving at the gate of Five Element Sect in the blink of an eye.
Flying in the sky, he could see the bustling commercial street below. It was the last moment before nightfall; shops on both sides of the street lit their lights, illuminating everything around.
Without any hesitation, Lu Chen moved away. This departure might be a final farewell; he would never return again. The matters concerning Five Element Sect should come to an end.
Even though Supreme Master Taihuang had emerged from seclusion and, after discussions with the elders and higher-ups, decided to restore Lu Chen's True Disciple status, he still did not intend to stay. Everything had come too late.
Yin Boqing's intentional or unintentional suppression left Lu Chen feeling disheartened, which is why he believed staying here was meaningless.
The reason he hadn't left earlier was that Lu Chen was waiting for Five Element Sect to acknowledge his True Disciple status; otherwise, there would always be a knot in his heart that needed to be resolved. Otherwise, it would become an obstacle to his Dao Heart.
Additionally, Lu Chen genuinely liked the Iron Sword and Longevity Pill treasures, which is why he waited until now. Once he became a True Disciple, with the obstacle to his Dao Heart removed, he would rightfully claim the Iron Treasure Sword and Longevity Pill without any guilt.
The only thing Lu Chen couldn't understand was Yin Boqing's attitude towards him. As a master, he was truly incompetent—a purely mediocre teacher and schemer.
What kind of person was behind Yin Boqing's mask? At this moment, Lu Chen knew he could never get an answer from Yin Boqing's lips; he had never expected one either.
He is not yet qualified to make Yin Boqing speak, and Yin Boqing will not voluntarily tell him anything.
If he cannot understand, then so be it; this matter will not create a mental block for him. The only mental block is that Yin Boqing's mask has transformed into the issue of him taking away Lu Chen's True Disciple spot. However, that has already been resolved, and Lu Chen's mental block has been removed.
The fact that things could transform in this way is actually the best outcome.
If a mental block arose from not being able to see Yin Boqing's true face, it might never be resolved. Lu Chen would then fall into depression, his Dao Heart collapsing, ultimately leading to his demise within the Five Element Sect.
As for Yin Boqing's true face, Su Wutong should know a thing or two about it. When he meets Su Wutong later, Lu Chen can ask her.
At this moment, Lu Chen transformed into a Thunderous Python, swiftly flying through the dark night sky.
From the ground, one would notice a clear night sky with a bolt of lightning weaving silently through the clouds. If one did not pay close attention, they would hardly see it.
The lightning manifested by Lu Chen is still quite different from real lightning; its size is significantly smaller, less than one percent of actual lightning.
This is because his cultivation of the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture is still insufficient. Once Lu Chen's Yin True Realm improves and his Yin Yuan becomes more substantial, it will naturally come to fruition.
Currently, Lu Chen has been in the stage of Manifestation of the Dharma Body for quite some time. Although he has been cultivating, his realm advancement is still very slow.
Slow progress is normal; cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. It cannot be rushed without substance.
Only by steadily progressing step by step, both physically and mentally, can one achieve genuine improvement. Otherwise, it would be like building castles in the air, which will eventually lead to problems.
At present, Lu Chen's realm is roughly at the early stage of the Law of the Realm. If he advances significantly further, he will reach the level of Void Immortal.
In just half a moment, Lu Chen arrived at the nearest county city to the Five Element Sect, Haining County, which is a hundred miles away.
Haining County is located within Lu Prefecture, belonging to the territory of the Qi Kingdom.
Lu Chen did not descend directly but circled above Haining County City for a while, repeatedly checking the situation in the city.
Haining County City was not large; compared to the provincial capital of Fishing Yang Province, it was less than half its size.
After searching for a while, Lu Chen did not detect any presence of Princess Zhulan and the others. He had previously instructed them that if they waited for a long time without seeing him arrive, they should leave first and meet him in Tebalzuo Town.
It took less than half a day to ride from Five Element Sect to Haining County City. Now, since their departure, a full night had passed, so they should have left ahead of him.
After hovering in the air for a while without finding what he was looking for, Lu Chen prepared to leave. The Thunderous Python twisted its body and shot off in the northwest direction.
Not long after Lu Chen disappeared into the sky, another flash of lightning came flying in, also circling above Haining County City for a while. After several breaths, it too shot off in the northwest direction.
Half an hour later, Lu Chen was already over two hundred miles away from Ninghai County City. He maintained his state and moved forward at a steady pace, pondering matters concerning the Crimson Lotus Princess.
It seemed that Huangfu Xun did not intend to enter the Great Desert. Qi Kingdom had Lu Prefecture as its financial backing; Lu Prefecture was known as Jiangnan and produced an abundant amount of grain each year. From his observations along the way, the fields were vast and the seedlings were lush and vibrant, indicating considerable wealth.
Moreover, with Qi Kingdom having formed an alliance with Giant Barbarian Island, they received support in terms of funds, food, and equipment from overseas. They had no shortage of supplies for military campaigns.
"Eh?"
Lost in thought, Lu Chen slowed down and stood amidst the clouds. Turning his head, he was surprised to see someone chasing after him.
Lu Chen felt puzzled and curious about who would pursue him through the night.
It likely wasn't anything good; however, since they were coming anyway, it wouldn't hurt to meet them. It would be better than dragging a tail along to Tebalzuo Town and potentially bringing danger to Princess Zhulan and the others.
At this moment, the night sky was thick with dark clouds layered like cotton balls; visibility was nearly zero.
Lu Chen practiced Yin Zhen and could see Demon God, but in such an environment, he could see nothing at all. He could only rely on his keen sense of aura to capture any presence.
In such a situation, flying to reach a destination serves as a good cover, but it also makes one susceptible to unforeseen dangers.
Lu Chen's eyes darted around, and then he began to walk through the air. Flesh stepped back a few paces, disappearing into the thick clouds, and in the blink of an eye, there was not even a trace left.
After a while, a flash of golden light appeared, revealing the figure of a young man who was stepping on an ancient bronze sword. The sword gleamed brightly as he slowly entered this misty area.
He sheathed the sword in his hand and continued to walk through the air, taking each step cautiously. He observed his surroundings carefully and listened intently, capturing every suspicious breath.
Just moments ago, he had locked onto Lu Chen and followed him here. However, in such a short time, the other party had suddenly vanished without leaving any trace behind, only the clouds flowing like a river.
The young man cautiously took a few steps forward as if walking on thin ice. He then stopped again, his deep gaze flickering with wisdom as he unconsciously tightened his grip on the sword.
After a moment, seemingly finding nothing amiss, the young man lifted his foot again and continued moving forward. But as he walked, he stopped once more, as if waiting for something.
This back-and-forth continued several times, with his movements identical each time and his expression showing little change. It was evident that the young man was being extremely cautious, advancing step by step with unwavering stability.
