Although Tang Wuqing is also a master of the Manifestation of the Dharma Body, his cultivation level is simply not on the same level as Lu Chen.
No matter how powerful his Fruit Offering Hand is, it is futile. Especially after Lu Chen received the gift from Ye Nanzhai, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, making him even more incomparable to Tang Wuqing.
Thus, when the two engaged in battle, it took only a few exchanges for Tang Wuqing to be utterly defeated. His Yin Spirit was struck by Lu Chen using the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture, sustaining injuries and rolling helplessly into the grass.
Lu Chen delivered a casual strike that forced Tang Wuqing back. Immediately, Sang Tuling stood on the hillside, controlling a five-finger-wide Flying Sword with his techniques, launching a fierce attack.
With a swing of his arm, Lu Chen unleashed an Imperial Aura. In an instant, the momentum surged like a wild vine enveloping everything.
The two forces collided in mid-air, creating a frenzied clash filled with dazzling golden light and the sharp sounds of metal striking metal.
Sang Tuling did not ride on the Flying Sword but engaged Lu Chen in close combat. However, he found himself at a disadvantage and had no choice but to control the Flying Sword from a distance to attack.
At this moment, Sang Tuling's Flying Sword was entangled by Lu Chen's Imperial Aura and could not break free for the time being.
Currently, Tang Wuqing was injured; after his Yin Spirit manifested and fell into the grass, his life or death remained uncertain. Sang Tuling's Flying Sword was suppressed, and he could gain no advantage in close combat. Li Yifeng was even more powerless, merely standing on the ground watching helplessly.
The Three Great Masters sent by Yin Boqing had engaged Lu Chen for less than half a night before they were all rendered ineffective.
After Lu Chen achieved Spirit-Body Unity, he gained significant advantages whether in close combat or ranged attacks. Coupled with the overwhelming power of the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture and Three Aspects Return to One Scripture, he was practically unmatched and dominated the battlefield.
Lu Chen hovered in mid-air, waving his large sleeves as he unleashed another Imperial Aura. This aura was thicker and larger than those previously released, curving like an ox's horn—transparent and ethereal, truly beautiful.
However, no one dared to underestimate its power. The ox-horn-like Imperial Aura sliced through the void with a buzzing sound, directly striking Sang Tuling's Flying Sword.
In an instant, their collision created an explosive shockwave. The violent force of the Imperial Aura sent the Flying Sword plummeting straight down into the hillside, deeply embedding itself into the soil.
Lu Chen relied on Spirit-Body Unity. Although he held an absolute advantage, dealing with Sang Tuling and the other two would still take some effort. The longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him.
Moreover, if he directly killed these three, the enmity with the Five Element Sect would not be so simple to resolve. Lu Chen was not afraid of the Five Element Sect; he just felt that there was no need to create too many enemies at this time.
He did not want his momentary bloodlust to hinder his future path, as it could directly affect Sun Zizhao.
Additionally, dawn had broken, and today marked the fifth day after Competing True Inheritor Disciple, with only fifteen hours left until Summer Heat. The matter of heading to the Gobi Desert was urgent and could not be delayed.
With various calculations in mind, he was clear about his next steps.
Lu Chen snorted coldly at Sang Tuling and Li Yifeng on the ground, saying, "I have things to do. For now, I will spare your lives. If you dare to cling on again, don't blame me for being ruthless and disregarding our sect ties. I will kill without mercy."
At this moment, Tang Wuqing was still nowhere to be found. There was no movement in the grass; he had likely already quietly returned to his Yin Spirit form and went somewhere to recuperate.
His Yin Spirit had been injured and could not recover quickly.
Sang Tuling and Li Yifeng were unwilling but had no choice but to watch Lu Chen leave.
If Lu Chen dared to engage them in close combat, he would undoubtedly lose. However, Lu Chen was not foolish; killing enemies could not follow conventional logic. He would only choose the fastest and most ruthless way to resolve a battle.
Having intimidated Sang Tuling and Li Yifeng, Lu Chen then waved his sleeve, transforming into a Thunderous Python that soared into the air and flew northwest.
After Lu Chen flew away, Sang Tuling and Li Yifeng exchanged glances. Then both drew their swords and chased after the direction Lu Chen had left.
They were not Lu Chen's opponents, but they could still keep him in sight; naturally, someone would come to deal with him later.
Lu Chen left the battlefield and transformed into Electric Python, swiftly moving through the clouds. In just a moment, he passed through the primitive forest and entered the hilly area.
The primitive forest changed into hills, with tall trees disappearing and being replaced by low shrubs, the terrain rising and falling.
After another half moment, the land gradually became flat, covered in lush green grass that stretched endlessly. From above, one could see no boundaries.
On the grassland, herds of cattle and sheep grazed leisurely on the green grass. Shepherds waved their whips while singing cheerful songs, their voices echoing across the prairie. Although outsiders could not understand the lyrics, they could feel the rich exotic charm in the melody.
This place is the Northwest Region, a beautiful intersection between the mountains of Central Plains and the Great Desert, known as the Great Plains.
On this prairie lived a king, an alien surname king granted by the Great Zhou Court, holding a status similar to that of the Korean King from the Western Seven States. This king is named Murzaha.
Murzaha's ancestors were among those who broke through the main forces of the Former Han Dynasty. However, they were a different branch from the Steppe People who invaded the capital and plundered the Former Dynasty Treasury. The vast prairie was home to various ethnic groups.
Currently, the rulers of Central Plains are from the Great Zhou Dynasty, whose origins also trace back to the Great Plains, known as Xiongnu.
After Xiongnu took control of Central Plains, Murzaha's ancestors became the most powerful force on the prairie. Due to their contributions in establishing a nation and receiving imperial favor, they eliminated other herding tribes on the grassland, leading to their current dominance.
Lu Chen continued forward as Electric Python drifted through the clouds, flying northward toward the prairie.
After flying for half a day, he reached the edge of the grassland. From above, patches of yellow earth began to appear below, indicating that he was nearing the desert.
Due to its vastness, towns were rare on the prairie; typically, one would have to travel several dozen miles to find one.
Thus, Lu Chen did not spend much effort before locating Tebalzuo Town. This town serves as the last stop before entering the desert from the prairie or even from Central Plains into the desert.
Once entering the desert, one truly finds themselves in a place devoid of human traces; there are no towns, not even a single resident.
However, it seems that Tebalzuo Town, being the last town before the desert from the grasslands, is particularly bustling. The city walls are tall, and the houses are closely packed together, with a large population that gives it the atmosphere of a grand town.
In Tebalzuo Town, there are no farmlands or fields, and the residents do not engage in agriculture. Their economy primarily relies on trade and commerce.
Firstly, it has everything that other grassland towns possess: cattle, sheep, horses, slaves, and grain trading. Additionally, there are some rare trades here that are not found in other grassland towns.
The rare trades refer to wild beasts. Besides selling live wild animal cubs to other places for ornamental purposes, there is also value in them.
Moreover, beasts that cannot be tamed are killed for their meat, and valuable parts of their bodies are sold. For example, beast fangs are believed to ward off evil.
There are also animal skins that can be made into warm coats and beast bones; some beast bones are incredibly hard and durable and can be polished into beautiful jewelry.
Of course, regarding what materials wild beasts possess, no one can say for sure. After all, some beasts can become sentient, and thus their flesh may change and grow peculiar items.
The more unusual the wild beast is when brought to the Tebalzuo trading market for sale, the higher the price it commands. Naturally, one must be able to capture it first.
Some wild beasts come from the grasslands, while others originate from the desert.
Thus, Tebalzuo Town serves as an enormous trading market whose operations directly stimulate the surrounding economy.
For instance, exploration teams and hunters entering the desert will purchase provisions here, forge iron tools, and acquire medicines among other supplies.
Their harvests in the desert usually consist of their favorite items; anything else is typically sold off through the trading market to be distributed elsewhere.
Such people often earn a fortune in Silver and Gold, becoming rich overnight. Most come here, make their money, and then leave. However, there are also some unfortunate souls who lose their lives here.
Only those who run shops and sell goods regularly earn less money but are relatively safer and do not risk their lives.
It is precisely because of their interconnected way of survival that a perfect trading process has formed, resulting in the prosperous Tebalzuo Town, which can be compared to Yuyang City in terms of its prosperity.
Lu Chen flew over Tebalzuo Town, circling in the air for a while, searching for the presence of Princess Zhulan and her companions.
As soon as Lu Chen sent his Divine Sense down, he quickly withdrew it. He discovered that there were quite a few experts inside the city; besides the intense Yang Qi Flame and Qi Masters, there were also many Yin True Masters.
Among them, he noticed a master who was nearly at the Void Immortal level, equivalent to Ye Nanzhai and Huangmei Daoist from Star Gate. He wondered who this person was.
The matter of the Former Dynasty Treasury Treasure quickly spread to the secular world, immediately attracting many people's covetous eyes. Everyone wanted to seize it all at once and then live a carefree life.
Therefore, it is understandable that various experts have gathered in Tebalzuo Town recently.
Lu Chen retracted his Divine Sense, no longer daring to explore the city further, as doing so would make him easily noticeable, leading others to think he was an arrogant person unaware of his own limitations.
