Xing Ru Xie obtained the Supply of Yin Yuan. As long as he sits down and meditates for a while to digest the Yin Yuan, the damage he sustained will naturally heal, and within a few hours, he can return to his peak condition, which is incredibly powerful.
Lu Chen controlled Jun Bell to fly forward, exploring the situation below with Su Mo Li. At this moment, many signs of battle had already appeared on the ground below, with various cracked surfaces and large pits, countless in number.
Seeing this situation, both Lu Chen and Su Mo Li frowned, realizing that things were not so simple and were quite serious. The traces on the ground indicated that those who had fought were all experts; otherwise, Xing Ru Xie would not have been injured.
However, at this time, Xing Ru Xie had already entered a meditative state, purely resting and entrusting his safety to Lu Chen and Su Mo Li. He completely trusted that Lu Chen would not harm him and that Lu Chen would not allow anyone else to do so either. This trust allowed him to feel secure in letting Lu Chen protect him.
If Xing Ru Xie were not in meditation, they could have asked him for some useful information about who the experts were. Lu Chen and Su Mo Li shook their heads and smiled wryly, feeling helpless.
Lu Chen was aware that from these traces of battle, it could be inferred that those involved in the struggle for the Earth Book were not ordinary characters.
Including the disciples of various Sects, they could not possibly be of the same caliber as the Yuan Family Twin Heroes. Among them, there were definitely individuals on par with Xing Ru Xie and Su Mo Li, which Lu Chen paid considerable attention to.
After flying for a while on Jun Bell, a situation arose that caught Lu Chen and Su Mo Li's attention.
They saw groups of people moving together in the same direction. Among these individuals were some familiar faces to Lu Chen, such as Kalan Prince from Yushan Kingdom. He was no longer a prince but had followed his master Miao Sheng Maiyi for cultivation. Now, several years had passed in the blink of an eye; he must have made significant progress in his cultivation and represented Luban Temple at the gathering.
There were also disciples from Five Element Sect present, including Sang Tuling, Tang Wuqing, and Li Yifeng.
However, their pace was slow; they seemed wary of what lay ahead and did not dare to approach closely. They could only linger at a distance but were unwilling to leave outright, resulting in this peculiar situation.
Lu Chen furrowed his brow, deep in thought as he increased Jun Bell's speed, quickly surpassing those individuals below.
Before long, Lu Chen and Su Mo Li saw what lay ahead—something that made numerous Sect disciples feel apprehensive and reluctant to approach for fear of provoking danger. This was quite understandable.
However, what lay ahead was not just any object but Defender of the Realm Huangfu Xin. Indeed, it was him; Lu Chen had seen him before and was quite attentive to this person. At this moment, he was surrounded by experts—various fierce warriors from the military, palace eunuchs, inner palace guards, and members of the Gyeonggi Guard Unit were all present. Lu Chen even spotted Monk Soldiers among them.
Previously at Wind Blind Island in the East Sea, Defender of the Realm had called upon Monk Soldiers from Eastern Shaolin to assist him against the Demon King Dynasty's Su Family. These Monk Soldiers had rarely appeared before but had recently gained prominence by assisting the court.
At this time within Defender of the Realm's entourage was a Palanquin. Lu Chen glanced over; there was no one inside the Palanquin—no anger emanated from it—indicating that it must contain only ordinary items rather than anything significant.
This group of people guarded the Palanquin as they swiftly moved over large rocks. They were not there to kill or cause trouble; they simply wanted to avoid being targeted by others. Their sole intention was to leave safely while protecting the Palanquin.
Lu Chen licked his lips; it seemed he was correct. The Palanquin guarded by Defender of the Realm must contain the Earth Book. They did not want trouble that could entangle them; their only desire was to return to the palace safely.
However, this time the team was indeed quite grand. The Defender of the Realm brought back his trusted aides from the battlefield of the Qi Kingdom, including palace eunuchs, those Inner Court Experts, and the Garrison from the capital, as well as Monk Soldiers.
This was undoubtedly a powerful force. Although the Human Book only had two to three hundred members, it was enough to hold back an army of twenty to thirty thousand. The terror of this situation was evident; anyone who saw it would furrow their brows.
Even Lu Chen felt a bit apprehensive. If he charged down now, there would only be one outcome: death. At this point, Lu Chen understood why so many people were hanging back and no one dared to truly pursue; they all had their concerns.
Given the current situation, even Lu Chen did not dare to act rashly because the area below was undoubtedly dangerous. The current Defender of the Realm was not to be trifled with. After all, even the heirs of those Sect forces, who were usually arrogant and domineering, had to endure and wait for an opportunity. If it weren't for how terrifying the Defender of the Realm was, Lu Chen would have acted long ago.
“Lu Chen, that Palanquin must contain the Earth Book. It seems that the Earth Book is in the hands of the Defender of the Realm. What should we do?” Suma asked.
Lu Chen blinked and said, “Don't act rashly. Right now, we are afraid that even if we unite with everyone below, we still can't defeat the Defender of the Realm. This situation is very critical; we must not make any mistakes here. If Brother Xie is currently in meditation, it may take a while for him to wake up. Let's wait a bit longer and observe before taking action.”
If the Earth Book fell into the hands of the Defender of the Realm, it would mean falling into the hands of the court. If its governance methods were passed to the Great Zhou Court, wouldn't that mean a change in fate for them? This was definitely not a good omen.
Moreover, according to rumors, besides governance methods, the Earth Book also contained powerful Qigong techniques and methods for cultivating Yin Spirit. These were things many people coveted, wishing they could possess them.
However, at this moment, the Defender of the Realm himself was a master whose cultivation had likely surpassed the Elysium of Longevity. He was undoubtedly a formidable Qi Master, possibly even the Supreme Emperor of the Five Element Sect. If he hadn't cultivated Yin Spirit to achieve Void Immortal, he would merely be a Qi Master who had entered the Elysium of Longevity. His flesh could be used to refine pills that were alive and wriggled like worms when eaten.
At this moment, the Defender of the Realm was such a master. If he could be killed and his flesh used for alchemy, who knows how many Qi Gong Masters could be cultivated? Establishing a sect would certainly be sufficient.
However, wanting to kill the Defender of the Realm was easier said than done. He himself was a master; ordinary people simply couldn't get close. Moreover, at this moment, he was surrounded by countless experts; even a Void Immortal wouldn't dare approach easily.
Just getting close would be difficult enough; obtaining what was inside the Palanquin would be even harder—almost impossible. Even if all four ancestors of the Daoist Sect teamed up to seize it, they would have to weigh their own strength first.
There were at least two or three hundred Qi Gong Masters below, with over fifty having reached the level of Divine Power Body. They were all super experts capable of standing alone; their strength was unimaginable. These forces were all part of the Great Zhou Court, so relying purely on military force to bring down the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost wishful thinking—an impossible task.
Whether or not the Great Zhou Court would perish depended on fate; it was predetermined when it should fall. Various major events—both internal and external—would gradually chip away at it until its demise came about, just like how an ant hole can collapse a thousand-mile dam.
“This situation is indeed very difficult; I don't know what to do. Should we just watch them leave?” Su Mo Li asked anxiously. In any case, it didn't matter whose hands the Earth Book fell into as long as it didn't end up in those of the Great Zhou Court.
Naturally, Lu Chen understood how serious this was. “Don't rush things; everything will work out in time. I'm sure there will be a way.”
At this moment, even Lu Chen felt there wasn't much he could do. A team like that led by the Defender of the Realm, with such overwhelming strength and momentum, could probably only be dealt with by a beast tide from the Wasteland Continent.
He withdrew his Divine Sense from exploring that Palanquin, controlling his Jun Bell to fly forward slowly. After all, they were still hanging back from engaging with the Defender of the Realm. They neither attacked nor retreated; after all, who could easily leave such an important matter behind?
However, before he could react, he had already attracted the attention of those below, alarming the Defender of the Realm.
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he opened Big Shuang's eyes. A sharp light flickered in his pupils as he said, "Hmm? The Defender of the Realm has noticed us. Just now, I released my Divine Sense into the Palanquin to investigate what was inside, but I was discovered."
Lu Chen's tone was somewhat helpless; his actions were a bit reckless, equivalent to directly offending the Defender of the Realm. If it were in the capital, probing the palace would likely trigger a major conflict immediately.
This is why those big shots rarely probe for information in the palace; some families and factions simply resort to bribing spies.
However, the Defender of the Realm suddenly stopped in the crowd and looked up at In the Sky, where a bell was slowly flying. A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes but vanished almost instantly.
Immediately, someone behind the Defender of the Realm noticed something and stepped forward to ask, "My lord, what happened?"
"Someone actually dared to openly investigate what is inside our Palanquin. Hmph." The Defender of the Realm snorted lightly, his tone extremely disdainful.
"Who is it that has such audacity?"
The person wore all black and carried a large machete on his back. He looked up at the sky and spotted a bell.
