Lu Chen swiftly took Princess Xiangyi from Ganda Prince, accomplishing the feat in just a few moments.
By the time Ganda Prince and his companions regained their composure from the shock, Lu Chen had already secured Princess Xiangyi and was far away.
At Lu Chen's height, they were unable to pursue him and could only look up in awe. Even if they managed to catch up to Lu Chen, with only two or three hundred men at their disposal and the Bone-less Sorcerer absent, they would have no way to deal with him.
Lu Chen flew quickly and soon arrived at the Main Battlefield. At this moment, there were many troops on the ground; besides the White-Haired Ox Army of Gaochang Ancient Kingdom, there was also a group of soldiers of unknown origin, and their numbers were considerable, their roars echoing.
Lu Chen landed, holding Princess Xiangyi under his arm, and dropped onto a relatively open Dune.
After landing, Princess Xiangyi activated her Qigong and forcefully broke the ropes binding her. Faced with such extraordinary power, she couldn't help but feel moved, her delicate face slightly pale.
"Don't act rashly; these soldiers are not ordinary. Let's observe first," Lu Chen advised Princess Xiangyi.
She nodded quickly. Although she was a princess from the Chu Family, which was a vassal state with thousands of troops at her command, this was not her territory. Thus, she remained cautious and hurriedly agreed to Lu Chen's suggestion.
Just as they landed, countless soldiers surrounded them immediately, pointing their spears and cannons at them, clearly regarding them as enemies.
In the distance, Princess Zhulan and others spotted Lu Chen and began moving toward him, hoping to make contact as soon as possible.
They recognized Lu Chen by his Nether War Armor, so they immediately identified him.
However, at that moment, Lu Chen was in danger himself; the surrounding soldiers had ill intentions and likely aimed to capture him alive.
Just then, a series of flute sounds echoed from afar. The surrounding soldiers seemed to be enchanted as they began to move in circles around Lu Chen, emitting a series of roars that conveyed a very savage atmosphere.
However, Lu Chen could subtly perceive something unusual about these soldiers; they seemed to be following some special command or were controlled by a mysterious medium, which allowed them to maintain such uniformity, appearing as a single entity.
In Lu Chen's view, the area was filled with an army wielding long spears, their formation strict, and they would change positions at specific times without any disorder, showcasing extraordinary military discipline.
From the standards they carried, it was clear that these individuals were part of the Prairie King's army, but it remained uncertain what purpose the Prairie King had in joining the Treasure War.
The soldiers from Gaochang Kingdom were surrounded while transporting treasures on camels, and the situation was not favorable for them.
In an instant, Lu Chen had guessed the general sequence of events, almost accurately.
Amidst the chaos, Lu Chen heard shouts of battle from a distance. He quickly looked up and saw that Princess Zhulan and her companions had already engaged with these soldiers. They struck fiercely, each move capable of knocking down a soldier.
However, it was futile; the Prairie King's soldiers surged forward one after another like an unending tide, with one falling only to be replaced by another.
Seeing this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated. He spread his black wings and flew over to Princess Xiangyi, landing beside Princess Zhulan and her group, and began to slay the Prairie King's army.
With a shake of his arm clad in Nether War Armor, he extended a long black blade. With a sudden flick, he unleashed it outward, instantly killing four or five soldiers clad in leather armor.
Behind him, dozens of soldiers brandishing long spears pointed at Lu Chen and charged forward.
Lu Chen retracted his Nether War Armor, crossed his arms, and suddenly slashed downward. In that moment, accompanied by the roar of an Ancient Giant Elephant, a phantom of the Ancient Giant Elephant appeared on his back.
Lu Chen leaped high into the air; the Ancient Giant Elephant unleashed tremendous power, shaking forward and knocking down dozens of soldiers to the ground.
At that moment, the soldiers of the Prairie King's army shifted their formation again, stepping back several paces to encircle Lu Chen and his companions.
On Lu Chen's side, besides Princess Xiangyi, Princess Zhulan, Tu Youdong, Old Mu, and Lian Dashuang, Jiang Jie and his brothers had all arrived.
They were the first to launch a massacre, which provoked the wrath of the Prairie King's Soldiers. Seeing this, Lu Chen joined the fray; after all, Princess Zhulan and the others were his friends, standing on the same side. Lu Chen could not just watch them being bullied.
However, just as they were in the midst of slaughtering, the Prairie King's Soldiers suddenly halted, as a series of flute sounds came from a distance.
Lu Chen looked up and saw a girl about seven or eight years old standing on a dune, holding a Jade Flute and gently playing it, producing beautiful melodies.
Suddenly, Lu Chen understood that these Prairie King soldiers were responding to the girl's flute music, allowing them to swiftly change formations and execute commands for gathering, retreating, and ambushing in the shortest time possible.
That girl was the commander of the entire Prairie King army; she was the key to their operations.
While Lu Chen was still in shock, the girl lightly sprang into the air and quickly flew towards them.
Her figure resembled a graceful butterfly dancing lightly, incredibly soft yet swift like a hunting kingfisher.
Before Lu Chen could react, she had already flown into the battlefield. In an instant, Lu Chen realized that this girl was a Yin God Practitioner with formidable skills that ordinary people could not contend with.
At such a young age to possess such abilities indicated that she must be a super expert who had unlocked the Fetal Mystery and had undergone Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation.
When the girl landed, several tall Prairie King's Soldiers surrounded her protectively, indicating her extraordinary status.
The men who gathered around her were all muscular and looked like Qi Gong Masters who had trained in martial arts. However, they seemed quite cheap in comparison to her; they were merely servants.
At this moment, the girl was less than ten paces away from Lu Chen. She waved her hand, and a long whip appeared in her grasp as she swung it towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was still in a daze, unable to dodge in time, and was caught off guard, feeling a sharp pain all over his body.
"Lu Chen, what did you just do? Hmph, you only come to see me now. Do you know your crime?"
The girl was incredibly willful. She glanced at Princess Xiangyi and then spoke in a childish voice, clearly her age was not as old as she appeared.
She was at most just mentally mature, while Flesh had already grown to look around seven or eight years old. However, her actual age might only be one or two years; it was hard for anyone to believe such an absurd situation if they saw it.
"Wutong, let me explain. It's not what you think." Lu Chen felt a sting from the whip and realized he was in quite a predicament as Flesh rolled on the ground, looking utterly helpless.
After standing up, he wanted to explain to the girl that nothing had actually happened between him and Princess Xiangyi.
The moment he saw the girl, he already knew she must be Su Wutong from Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation, the most beloved daughter of Prairie King Murzaha.
"What did you call me? Is Wutong what you call me? I am Murzaha·Yuan Zheng. Call me Princess Yuanzheng." The girl retracted the whip and hid it in her sleeve.
"Yes, Princess Yuanzheng, I understand." Lu Chen licked his lips; it turned out that after Su Wutong from Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation, her name in this life was Murzaha·Yuan Zheng, and everyone called her Princess Yuanzheng.
Su Wutong had come in this life to repay a debt of gratitude, but why was she being so fierce towards Lu Chen? She must have been very angry after seeing Lu Chen with Princess Xiangyi, which is why she wouldn't allow him to call her by her name and insisted he refer to her as Princess Yuanzheng like everyone else.
Such matters couldn't be rushed; once Su Wutong calmed down, everything would naturally get better.
The most beloved daughter of Prairie King, Princess Yuanzheng raised her hand and struck Lu Chen with a whip. This scene shocked those around them, who were completely unaware of the situation.
Princess Zhulan and Princess Xiangyi's expressions changed immediately upon seeing this; they felt some anger. They thought the girl looked cute but didn't expect her to be so fierce and even whip Lu Chen. They almost couldn't help but rush forward to intervene.
But at this moment, they were already surrounded by the thousands of troops of Prairie King, and the situation was critical. There was no room for them to act recklessly; a slight misstep could lead to being pierced by random spears, with no chance of survival.
Su Wutong stepped forward, coming within two or three steps of Lu Chen, and said with an air of authority, "Are these people the faction you established?"
Su Wutong glanced at Princess Zhulan and the others behind Lu Chen, especially Princess Zhulan and Princess Xiangyi, seemingly taking a moment to look at them longer. It was unclear what her intentions were.
Lu Chen swallowed hard, nodded without speaking, and stared directly at Su Wutong.
At this moment, Su Wutong was undeniably stunning. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes bright, and she exuded an enchanting aura, resembling a delicate porcelain doll—a miniature version of a great beauty.
Seeing this scene made Princess Zhulan and Princess Xiangyi extremely jealous. Although they were not lacking in beauty themselves, time was unforgiving. The vitality and innocence radiating from someone so young were beyond their reach.
They could only think one thing: how could a person be so beautiful? Her looks were not inferior to anyone's, yet she appeared to be only seven or eight years old, with her true age seemingly frozen at one or two years old, untouched by the passage of time. Even the elderly had to feel a twinge of envy.
At this moment, Lu Chen found himself caught in the middle, feeling like he belonged nowhere. His emotions were very complicated as he remained silent. His wisdom and profound cultivation seemed to have vanished in this situation.
