The caravan responsible for transporting the Treasure slowly set off on the official road, and by noon, they had truly arrived at the border.
Before them lay two paths. The right path was extremely wide and covered in lush green grass, indicating that few people had traveled this way. This path led to the Yushan Kingdom, and further ahead, one could reach Heishuiguan.
The left path was similarly situated; it led to the renowned Five Element Sect, one of the top sects.
The group did not linger and directly took the right path toward Heishuiguan.
Lu Chen had rejoined the team, alongside several core members, preparing to enter Yushan Kingdom with the caravan.
On the surface, Lu Chen appeared calm, but internally he remained highly vigilant, feeling a mix of sadness and fear—a complex blend of emotions.
Since entering the territory of Five Element Sect, he had not relaxed his thoughts, with a hint of worry etched on his brow that others had yet to notice.
It wasn't until someone blocked their path, causing the entire caravan to come to a halt, that everyone became alert.
Blocking their way was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a white face and no beard, dressed in black. He stood with his back to them, completely motionless.
In an instant, those who had previously been disciples of Five Element Sect recognized him. He was Yin Boqing, a talented elder of Five Element Sect and the current Vice Master Supreme Young Sovereign.
A gentle breeze blew, causing Yin Boqing's hair to flutter in the wind as he stood with his hands behind his back. If not for everyone seeing him there with their own eyes, many might have mistaken him for an ordinary person.
Yin Boqing's cultivation was above Void Immortal; once released, his oppressive aura could be felt within a radius of two or three miles.
The only explanation for this was that he intentionally concealed his presence and stood in the middle of the road for all to see. His figure resembled that of a ghost—light and ethereal—leading many who were unaware of the situation to perceive him as just an ordinary person.
Seeing Yin Boqing standing in the middle of the road, Lu Chen closed his eyes momentarily, revealing a pained expression. The person he least wanted to confront and feared most had finally appeared.
If Lu Chen is not mistaken, this matter must have been leaked by someone, perhaps those who have been following him, the elite disciples of the Five Element Sect. But what use is it to investigate these things now?
Yin Boqing came alone; Lu Chen had already checked and confirmed that there were no other presences within a five-mile radius.
Yin Boqing coming alone might mean he is capable enough to handle this group by himself, which is an undeniable fact.
"Lu Chen, my good disciple, where are you going?" Yin Boqing slowly turned around and looked at Lu Chen among the crowd, speaking in a calm tone.
His tone was indeed very flat, devoid of any anger. His words sounded somewhat like a question, yet they also seemed not to be, leaving people puzzled.
"Master," Lu Chen softly called out, stepping out from the crowd and standing there in a daze with his head lowered.
Everyone stared at Lu Chen; at this moment, they all fell silent, no one daring to speak. The scene was so quiet that even the faint sound of the northern wind could be heard.
"Why aren't you answering my question?" Yin Boqing continued to ask.
Lu Chen remained silent. This situation had played out in his mind countless times before, but when the moment truly arrived and he felt Yin Boqing's presence, he found himself unable to respond.
He didn't dare to make a move either because he felt as insignificant as an ant in front of Yin Boqing. If Yin Boqing wanted to crush him, it would be as easy as dealing with a bug.
Yin Boqing concealed his Immortal Aura; the more he did so, the more terrifying he appeared, especially to Lu Chen. Lu Chen understood Yin Boqing quite well.
His Void Immortal aura was tangible yet intangible, which was what made him so frightening and caused others to tremble.
"I have one more question. I asked Sect Master to send disciple Sang Tuling to inform you that if you return to the Five Element Sect, it would be as if nothing had happened. Did he not tell you?" Yin Boqing said slowly.
Lu Chen pressed his lips together and replied softly, "Senior Brother Sang has already delivered the message."
Sang Tuling has already been accepted as a disciple by Supreme Master Taihuang. This young man possesses extraordinary talent and has mastered swordsmanship thoroughly, so it is only fitting that he be taken in as a disciple.
"Since the topic has come up, why don't you listen? Are you going to defy my orders?" Yin Boqing's tone remained calm, but to Lu Chen, it sounded like thunder, shaking his eardrums.
"What have I done to you? I've warned you time and again, yet why do you refuse to listen? Do you treat my words as mere background noise? Do you feel any guilt calling me Master?" Yin Boqing continued to scold him.
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but sneer coldly inside. He called Yin Boqing Master with genuine sincerity, but Yin Boqing had never treated him like a disciple. He had never taught him a single move; all he did was scold and admonish him, as if he were just waiting to hit him.
"Come here," Yin Boqing said coldly, commanding Lu Chen to approach him.
Lu Chen took a step back, showing no intention of moving forward.
This action startled everyone behind him. They all understood Yin Boqing's power and had refrained from acting recklessly, each one suppressed and afraid to move.
"Master, I won't come over. I know what you want to do to me, so I won't approach. If you intend to persuade me, it's useless; this is the path I've chosen, and I won't turn back," Lu Chen murmured softly.
Yin Boqing wanted Lu Chen to come before him, but Lu Chen certainly would not agree. He was self-aware enough to know that if he went over, death was certain, and losing all his cultivation was inevitable.
At the same time, Lu Chen made a gesture that caused everyone to step back a little while maintaining a cautious demeanor.
"Hahaha, what a path you've chosen that you won't turn back from."
Yin Boqing laughed eerily upon hearing Lu Chen's words and repeated them. His actions made everyone break out in cold sweat and feel uneasy.
"Master," Lu Chen raised his head to look at the somewhat deranged Yin Boqing. He understood that if he dared to reject Yin Boqing's words now, their master-disciple relationship would be irreparably damaged.
"You scoundrel! How dare you still call me Master? Do you even see me as your Master? You openly defy my orders and treat me as your Master? You've grown wings and your cultivation has improved significantly, so now you dare to confront me openly. I should have killed you directly at Gate Peak instead of letting you go." By the end, Yin Boqing's tone had finally turned harsh.
Lu Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Hehe, yes, I don't know why I listened to Su Wutong and decided to take you as my master. In fact, these days have not been happy for me; instead, I've been under a lot of pressure and have never felt relaxed."
Indeed, ever since he became a disciple of Yin Boqing, Lu Chen felt like he was always in a fog, never daring to speak directly to Yin Boqing, not even raising his voice when talking to him.
At this moment, Lu Chen mustered his courage to express the frustrations he had been holding inside.
Upon hearing this, Yin Boqing's expression gradually turned serious. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Is that so? Since that's the case, how about I help you relieve your suffering?"
Realizing that things were not looking good, Lu Chen quickly took a step back and instructed everyone to enter a state of readiness.
"You all take a detour and don't worry about me," Lu Chen said slowly to Princess Zhulan beside him.
As soon as he said this, everyone drew their weapons, aiming directly at Yin Boqing. Although their momentum was strong, it seemed insignificant in front of Yin Boqing.
"Why are there so many disciples of the Five Element Sect here? Where do you think you're going? Is it that easy?" Yin Boqing mocked.
He noticed that among these people were quite a few disciples of the Five Element Sect whom he had seen once or twice before, so he had some impression of them. Moreover, from Yin Boqing's tone, it was clear that he would not let them leave easily.
"Lu Chen? Let's go together," Princess Zhulan urged from the side, as everyone looked at him, wanting him to leave with them.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen shouted loudly, "Go! Hurry up and leave! I can't resolve this peacefully today."
Lu Chen closed his eyes. Deep down, he understood his situation well; if Yin Boqing did not allow him to leave, there was no way for him to escape. After all, this was not the time to quietly leave the Five Element Sect; there was no opportunity for that now.
At this moment, everyone felt the pressure. Compared to the situation in Haining County City, this was nothing. Naturally, no one dared to act recklessly; they didn't want to leave and didn't dare to move for fear that something would happen to Lu Chen.
"Do not obstruct the operation of Dao Qi Number. Hu Yun is destined to be less than a hundred; it's fate that no one can stop," Lu Chen said to Yin Boqing.
"To dare to use numbers to teach me a lesson, it seems I must stop you."
With that, Yin Boqing raised his arm and flicked it towards Lu Chen, instantly summoning a circular object that appeared out of thin air and rushed towards him at an invisible speed.
Seeing this, Lu Chen also summoned the Five-Colored Ring from the Five Elements Calamity Scripture and clashed with Yin Boqing.
The two collided, resulting in an explosion in the sky, with strong air currents spraying out and even causing nearby stones to shatter.
"Hahaha."
Yin Boqing laughed heartily and then said, "My good disciple, very good! It seems what I heard about your comprehension of the Five Elements Calamity Scripture is true, hahahahaha."
Both Lu Chen and Yin Boqing had gained insights into the Five Elements Calamity Scripture from the Five Element Divine Fist left behind by the Crystal Warrior.
The Crystal Warrior practiced the Five Element Divine Fist, but when his fist technique reached its peak, he could no longer break through due to the inability to transform his spirit and flesh. Ultimately, he perished because he could not overcome his intentions, leaving behind a great regret for eternity.
