Lu Chen stood before the Palanquin containing the Earth Book, just needing to reach out to take it, akin to plucking something from a pocket.
This time, Lu Chen held nothing back, nearly throwing all his assets into the fray, starting with Jun Bell and the currently usable Demon Emperor Manifestation. Then, Lu Chen unleashed the power of the Five Elements, Five Symbols Great Disk, directly targeting the Yellow Dragon, rushing to the Palanquin that held the Earth Book, eliminating all obstacles. He truly achieved a position of superiority.
At this moment, everyone was astonished by Lu Chen's strength, and all the rumors surrounding him were confirmed. Many around were dumbfounded; after all, compared to Lu Chen's power and wealth, what could the Void Immortal possibly amount to?
"These Dharmakaya and Essence are not human. It seems that the rumors about the Wasteland Continent are indeed true. This child has encountered such good fortune; he must be someone who carries great luck. I had not heard much about him before, but now it seems he is destined to stir up tremendous waves in this world. Now that I have the chance to eliminate him, I must act; such an opportunity is rare."
The Defender of the Realm actively abandoned several opponents who had entangled him and stared blankly at Lu Chen. He now regarded Lu Chen as his greatest enemy; if he wanted to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty, eliminating Lu Chen was essential.
With this person's fortune, previously unknown, now suddenly emerging with such astonishing skills and various fortuitous encounters, he would undoubtedly become a significant threat in the future. Thus, he must be eliminated; this was the Defender of the Realm's foremost thought.
He felt that no one present could compare to Lu Chen; these people were merely insignificant. The only one embodying great fortune was Lu Chen himself. His immense luck even affected the Great Zhou Dynasty, making it imperative that he be killed.
Meanwhile, others had different thoughts. Tang Wuqing and others were naturally very surprised by Lu Chen's abilities.
The key was that at this moment, Lu Chen was right next to the Palanquin. If he took away the Earth Book, wouldn’t he be the one laughing in the end? They had worked so hard for so long and made various efforts only to end up helping someone else?
They absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, at this moment, fighting nearly came to a halt as everyone turned their attention toward Lu Chen. Some had already begun to move because they knew they needed to seize the Earth Book before Lu Chen got his hands on it. Otherwise, once he succeeded and entered Jun Bell, they would not know how to use Rift Spell to open Jun Bell again. At that point, obtaining the Earth Book would be nearly impossible. They had to grab it before Lu Chen did.
Of course, if they could kill Lu Chen after he obtained the Earth Book and then take it for themselves, that would also work.
At this point, everyone's attention on the hill was primarily focused on Lu Chen. Everyone wanted to get closer to him; each had their own intentions—either to snatch something from him or to kill him. Lu Chen had subtly become the target of everyone's siege. His actions were somewhat despicable; he chose this moment to strike when tensions were already at a boiling point instead of acting earlier or later. This approach was indeed quite detestable.
However, Lu Chen was well aware of what others thought of him. Because he understood this clearly and calculated meticulously, he naturally would not give anyone a chance. He reached out and lifted the curtain of the Palanquin when suddenly a dark Fire Thunder cannon aimed directly at him.
In an instant, the cannon fired directly at him. At that critical moment, Lu Chen immediately switched between flesh and spirit forms; his Void Immortal aura manifested itself faintly as Mystic Fire Thunder exploded.
Amidst a thick cloud of gunpowder smell and various acrid scents filling the air with a buzzing sound in his ears, Lu Chen realized something was wrong—his Yin Spirit had sustained injuries.
Earlier he approached the Palanquin in flesh form but upon discovering it contained Fire Thunder, he quickly switched back to his Yin Spirit form and used its ethereal quality to resist Mystic Fire Thunder's power. However, he still could not escape being struck head-on by a cannon blast; no matter how much he switched or changed forms, Mystic Fire Thunder was aimed at him—how could he possibly evade it?
Lu Chen realized he had been set up; he fell into a trap laid by the Defender of the Realm along with all present disciples. There was no Earth Book inside that Palanquin; instead, it concealed a Mystic Fire Thunder Cannon designed for demonstration with mysterious techniques—anyone who dared approach carelessly would be blasted on the spot, left either dead or severely injured.
"Tricked"
In an instant, everyone present realized they had been deceived. The Defender of the Realm was so cunning, knowing that everyone here coveted the Earth Book, and had set up such a scheme, waiting for someone to lift the curtain of the Palanquin, which would lead directly to death. What a sinister plot.
However, at this moment, those disciples felt a sense of relief, thankful it wasn't them who had opened the curtain. With Lu Chen being the unfortunate one to face death, it was simply wonderful. For a moment, they even felt a bit grateful towards Lu Chen.
At this time, Lu Chen's Yin Spirit had already sustained injuries, and under the current circumstances, this was definitely not a good thing.
Lu Chen's first thought was to retreat; otherwise, there were plenty of people who wanted to kill him. If he hesitated even for a moment, he might miss his chance. Lu Chen prepared to fly back into the Jun Bell and escape with Xing Ru Xie and Su Mo Li.
Just then, not far away, the Defender of the Realm narrowed his eyes. A glint of light flashed in his gaze as he saw Lu Chen's movement and realized he wanted to escape. The Defender of the Realm would not let this opportunity slip by.
"Hmph, you think you can leave at this time?" With that, the Defender of the Realm sprang into action. His flesh leaped and fell dramatically, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lu Chen, delivering a powerful punch.
After all, the Defender of the Realm was a Qi Master from Elysium of Longevity. Even a light punch carried the force to shatter gold and split stone; his words were law, and his power was unimaginable.
Lu Chen's eyes widened in shock. If he were hit by this punch from the Defender of the Realm under current circumstances, his Void Immortal Dharmakaya would be shattered instantly. It would be a nightmare for him; the consequences would be dire.
He could either be obliterated on the spot or perhaps manage to escape with fragments of his Yin Spirit and hide in the mountains to undergo Corpse Transformation for rebirth. Such outcomes were beyond Lu Chen's imagination. He still had many important matters left unfinished—his ambitions piled up in his heart waiting to be realized. Yue Shaoting and Sun Zizhao were still waiting for him; thus, Lu Chen could not die.
Without any hesitation, Lu Chen flew into the Jun Bell and immediately closed its entrance. Just as the Defender of the Realm jumped over, his punch struck the Jun Bell directly, causing violent shaking within the entire bell.
Su Mo Li and Xing Ru Xie beside him broke out in cold sweat. Was this truly the terrifying power of a master from Elysium of Longevity?
Fortunately, Lu Chen had dodged quickly; otherwise, if that punch from the Defender of the Realm had landed on him, he would have likely been obliterated instantly—his fate would have been tragic beyond imagination.
"We need to leave immediately; the Earth Book is not here at all. That old fox Defender of the Realm—I will settle accounts with him sooner or later," Lu Chen said as he controlled the Jun Bell to swiftly carry Su Mo Li and Xing Ru Xie away.
As for those below them, with State Axe's protection, there was no need for Lu Chen to worry about them.
During this brief moment of respite, the Defender of the Realm unleashed several punches in succession. Judging by his momentum, it seemed he intended to smash through the Jun Bell with his iron fists.
In just a few breaths, Lu Chen and the other two looked up to see a crack appearing at the top of Jun Bell. The way it was splitting open was indeed caused by immense force, terrifying beyond measure. Even the Demon Emperor Manifestation standing inside the bell was shaking, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Lu Chen swallowed hard and shouted, "We need to go, we can't stay here any longer, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
After saying this, Lu Chen struggled to control Jun Bell, which wobbled as it took off from the ground. He knew that the Defender of the Realm was intent on killing him; otherwise, it wouldn't be fighting so desperately.
The more aggressive the Defender of the Realm became, the more Lu Chen felt he should leave; he absolutely could not linger.
At that moment, the Defender of the Realm jumped again and struck Jun Bell with another punch. This time, it created a hole in Jun Bell, and violent gusts of air began to blow in from outside.
Fortunately, Jun Bell was flying higher and higher, and the Defender of the Realm could no longer jump up. After all, he was a Qi Master and had no means to deal with a flying Jun Bell; he could only watch helplessly as Lu Chen and the others controlled Jun Bell to escape.
After delivering his last punch, the Defender of the Realm landed steadily on the ground. He looked in the direction Lu Chen had fled with reluctance and anger, swinging his sleeves in frustration while clasping his hands behind his back. "Hmph, what a cunning child. This time you ran fast; if not for that, I would have ensured you died on the spot, leaving you hidden cultivators without a burial place. Despicable."
"This time, without ten or half a month, you won't be able to come out to cause trouble. I have meticulously designed this plan, mobilized countless experts, and invested heavily; naturally, I won't let you have it easy. If you want the Earth Book, how could I allow it to be transported openly under such bright daylight?" The Defender of the Realm muttered to himself, his tone filled with boundless confidence.
It turned out that he had already transported the Earth Book through secret channels long ago. By now, it should have arrived in the capital and been delivered into the emperor's hands.
