It was precisely because of the confidence of the Crimson Lotus Princess and others that they were completely unaware of Lu Chen's ambush, catching them off guard.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Lu Chen and his group quietly moved. Leading the charge, Lu Chen flew directly into Haining County City, killing the Garrison guarding the city gate, then opened the gate to let Princess Zhulan and the others in.
As soon as the gate opened, carts filled with Treasure poured into the city one after another, and Princess Zhulan and her companions immediately began a massacre against the opposing Garrison.
However, this commotion ultimately alerted core figures like the Crimson Lotus Princess. Soon, pairs of soldiers armed with long spears rushed out from various alleys, charging towards Lu Chen and his group.
Following that, the Crimson Lotus Princess and others appeared, including Three Poisons Wanderer, Di Wanren, Mountain Battle, Shan Shaoyang, and other experts who all gathered together.
These individuals wasted no time; they charged into the Caravan with weapons drawn and began their slaughter.
Since Lu Chen's group was prepared, the Qi Masters responsible for guarding the Caravan formed a simple formation, backing against the carts as they advanced slowly, step by step, ensuring they did not reveal any weaknesses.
Lu Chen wielded Dual Blades and was immediately entangled with the Three Great Masters: Crimson Lotus Princess, Di Wanren, and Mountain Battle. A fierce battle ensued between them.
Meanwhile, others faced their own opponents within Haining County City, showcasing their skills in a grand battle.
In an instant, shouts of killing, clashing weapons, and torches illuminating the scene intertwined, turning Haining County City into chaos.
The number of people on Crimson Lotus Princess's side was overwhelming compared to Lu Chen's group—several times greater in number.
However, despite their numerical advantage, they could not stop the advance of the Caravan. Led by Lu Chen, the convoy moved forward like an unstoppable spear through Haining County City. Although slow, they continued to push through step by step.
After a night of fighting, both men and horses were exhausted. Especially on Crimson Lotus Princess's side, even those who had not died lacked the strength to continue fighting.
On Lu Chen's side, however, everyone was a Qi Master with slightly more endurance, allowing them to persist much longer.
The caravan moved directly through Haining County City, struggling to reach the East Gate from the West Gate. Someone opened the city gate, and immediately, the group fought off the attacking soldiers from the Qi Kingdom while streaming out of the city.
Once outside the city gate, the caravan did not stop at all and headed straight northeast. They were just a hundred miles away from reaching the national border.
Princess Zhulan and her companions tightly guarded the group, fighting and retreating. However, the battle within Haining County City was still ongoing.
Princess Zhulan turned her head and saw the towering, dark walls of Haining County City in the night. Flashes of fire erupted from within, accompanied by shouts from both men and women. Without needing to guess, Princess Zhulan knew what was happening inside.
"Lu Chen is still inside; he hasn't come out yet," Princess Zhulan exclaimed sharply.
The caravan continued moving forward without any pause, but a few core members, upon hearing Princess Zhulan's words, were taken aback and stopped to gaze into Haining County City.
"Shouldn't we go back to save him?" Princess Zhulan asked again, as if questioning everyone.
At that moment, everyone was extremely exhausted, holding weapons and covered in dirt, most stained with blood and mud.
Yue Shaoting sighed heavily and said, "Lu Chen knows what he's doing. After we leave the city, we head north without stopping. This is his own plan."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Lu Chen was surrounded by more than ten Qi Gong Masters; could he escape from there? This was a concern for everyone, but they seemed uncertain about what to do.
"Let's go. I trust my lord; otherwise, I would have gone up to fight alongside him already," Old Mu said, turning to leave first.
Following that, Yue Shaoting and the Shark-Slaying Eight Guards also departed, keeping pace with the main group as they headed toward Yushan Kingdom.
After pondering for a moment at the spot, Princess Zhulan and her companions ultimately left as well under Tu Youdong's comforting words.
Inside Haining County City, Lu Chen was alone, besieged by more than ten people, including Crimson Lotus Princess, Di Wanren, Three Poisons Wanderer, He Yingqing, Shan Family Father and Son, and several Masked Warriors.
These individuals, although none have reached the Divine Power Body, are all skilled enough to stand their ground.
A dozen experts formed a large net with their various weapons, descending from above to envelop Lu Chen. Holding Dual Blades, he danced the blades into thin, wheel-like shapes, fighting fiercely against them.
The Crimson Lotus Princess and her companions seemed to have gone mad, determined not to let Lu Chen break free. With over ten people surrounding him, they trapped him in a wheel battle formation.
Among these individuals, almost all had grievances against Lu Chen, so they fought with great fervor, putting immense pressure on him.
The father and son duo from Mountain Battle also wielded Dual Blades, but their swordsmanship was different from the Moon King's Blade; it was another style that was equally mysterious and filled with various strange and overwhelming powers.
As for the Crimson Lotus Princess and Di Wanren, this was Lu Chen's first encounter with them. The Crimson Lotus Princess had average Qigong cultivation but was extremely fierce, her perspective on the overall situation as sharp as her demeanor.
Di Wanren, as the legitimate son of one of the Seven Great Families of the Demon Lord, not only practiced the Qigong techniques of the Five Element Sect but also utilized a Qigong technique from the Di Family called "Five Hells Divine Blood Wheel."
The Five Hells Divine Blood Wheel could injure someone from a hundred steps away using vital energy. Lu Chen could also channel his vital energy to harm others, but it lacked structure and was more spontaneous.
In contrast, Di Wanren's Five Hells Divine Blood Wheel was systematic; it was one of the top Qigong techniques of the Di Family that could inherently injure from a distance. The higher one's cultivation, the greater its power.
As soon as the Five Hells Divine Blood Wheel was unleashed, several fiery red blood wheels spun and rushed toward Lu Chen.
Seeing this, Lu Chen brought his hands together and calmly began to circulate his energy, astonishing those around him.
When Di Wanren's Five Hells Divine Blood Wheel erupted, it could even slice through walls, yet Lu Chen appeared unfazed.
Just as the Five Hells Divine Blood Wheel was about to reach Lu Chen, he suddenly moved. A powerful aura erupted from within him.
In an instant, blade-like leaves transformed from Imperial Aura burst forth like raindrops, shooting out in all directions.
"Will of the Minister."
Lu Chen shouted loudly as he finally broke through the second form of the Three Aspects Returning to Origin left by Ye Nanzhai, the Will of the Minister.
The Three Aspects Return to One Scripture consists of three levels: the first level, Imperial Aura, represents the strongest self; the second level, Will of the Minister, signifies powerful explosive force; and the third level, Common People Aura, is one that even Ye Nanzhai himself had never entered.
In an unexpected turn of events, Lu Chen had just broken through to the second level, Will of the Minister, unleashing an immense power.
Instantly, he sent everyone flying. The invisible blades were something they could not withstand; once hit, they would face dire consequences, as none of them were Qi Masters of the Divine Power Body.
With a single move to subdue his enemies, Lu Chen gained a brief moment to breathe. He waved his sleeve and said, "Alright, I won't play with you any longer. I may have to deal with even tougher battles ahead. Until we meet again."
Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, Lu Chen flicked his sleeve, and immediately his Yin Spirit manifested as lightning, breaking through the air and departing.
Lu Chen left completely, leaving a dozen people standing there in shock; some cursed loudly while others showed expressions of regret.
The Crimson Lotus Princess shook her head and glanced at Di Wanren. She then slightly closed her delicate eyes, feeling a mix of emotions—love and longing intertwined within her heart.
"This person indeed has some skills. Even with all ten of us working together, we couldn't capture him. It seems only Elder Bai Liao can subdue him. It's just a pity that our ancestor is not here," Mountain Battle remarked as he watched Lu Chen disappear into the distance.
Elder Bai Liao seemed to be a powerful figure within the Mountain Clan on Giant Barbarian Island, an ancient relic of sorts.
But at this moment, who knew where that person was?
Once Lu Chen left, they could not pursue him at all; even if they did catch up, it would yield no results since none of them were a match for Lu Chen.
After bursting out of Haining County City, Lu Chen flew northward and soon caught up with Princess Zhulan and the others within just a few moments.
At this moment, the sky was already dimly bright, and the convoy had traveled about fifty to sixty miles, not far from the national border.
At first, everyone was concerned about the possibility of pursuing soldiers. After all, Qi Kingdom had gone to great lengths only to be outsmarted without gaining anything in return. Anyone in their position would likely feel discontent, especially Qi Kingdom.
However, upon further reflection, it seemed that things were not quite as they appeared.
The main reason was that they were getting closer to the border of Yushan Kingdom. If the soldiers from Qi Kingdom dared to advance there, they would inevitably face suppression from the Heishuiguan Garrison of Yushan Kingdom, which could even lead to a national war—an extremely serious situation.
Moreover, it was even more critical that this area belonged to the superpower Five Element Sect. If a large number of soldiers advanced there, it would undoubtedly alert Five Element Sect, making the situation even harder to manage.
For Qi Kingdom itself, there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices over this matter. This might depend on the grand vision of Crimson Lotus Princess, who understood how to weigh pros and cons; losing significantly was something she would never want to do.
Finally, as dawn broke, Lu Chen and the others completely exited the borders of Qi Kingdom and officially entered Yushan Kingdom.
Of course, this area belonged to both Qi Kingdom and Yushan Kingdom, but it was also part of Five Element Sect, even considered as the entrance to Five Element Sect, which held significant meaning.
Upon arriving here, Lu Chen realized that this was undoubtedly the most perilous moment in the entire treasure-seizing process.
