Inside the Shen Yuan Immortal Mansion, the discussion among the four top Daoist masters continued without interruption due to Lu Chen's unexpected appearance.
"Brother Yi, your Shen Yuan Immortal Mansion is known for being the most secretive sect, yet I just saw someone who doesn't seem to be one of your disciples. His behavior was rather suspicious. If this gets out, it could have negative repercussions," said Shen Taiyi, the first to express his dissatisfaction about someone eavesdropping on their discussion.
Other sect leaders also showed signs of unease, not out of fear of their secrets being exposed, but because if Yin Yang Gate couldn't even handle this matter properly, how could they expect to be the leaders among the major Taoist sects?
At that moment, Essence looked up with a disdainful expression, his gaze deep and bright before returning to normal. He spoke in a calm tone, "This matter is not worth worrying about. Divine Dragon Brother's avatar has already gone to pursue him. Let us remain calm for now and allow Divine Dragon Brother to take action."
With that, everyone turned their attention to Divine Dragon's Hideout, who sat straight and appeared relaxed as if nothing was amiss.
However, beneath this calm exterior, Divine Dragon's Hideout had already sent his avatar to pursue Lu Chen and would soon receive updates on the situation.
Given Divine Dragon's Hideout's state, it was clear that his cultivation level was at least Void Immortal level two or higher, capable of communicating with his true self through his avatar.
As the master of Eastern Overseas Yuanrong Immortal Island, having lived in seclusion overseas for many years, his cultivation level was likely much higher than just Void Immortal level two; it could be three or even four.
The so-called avatar disembodiment he had just performed would not significantly affect him; it was merely a minor skill.
Afterward, the Four Ancestors of the Daoist Sect continued their discussion as if nothing had happened. Lu Chen's arrival was already being dealt with by Divine Dragon's avatar and was deemed unimportant.
Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast had wandered around Shen Yuan Immortal Mansion for a while before unexpectedly exiting.
The two exchanged glances in the sky, reflecting on their narrow escape and feeling grateful for their good fortune.
A powerful aura descended from above, making it feel as if a colossal mountain was hovering over them, rapidly pressing down.
Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast both sensed it, turning their heads simultaneously toward the previously empty space, where a crack suddenly appeared.
The overwhelming aura emanated from that crack. Lu Chen's heart tightened as he vaguely realized that this powerful presence was identical to that of the Divine Dragon's Hideout's avatar.
Sure enough, in that moment of distraction, a massive dragon figure soared out from the rift in the void, its enormous body swaying with the wind, slicing through the air and emitting a series of dragon roars.
"Run!" Lu Chen shouted, immediately jumping onto the back of the Treasure Guardian Beast. They disregarded everything and swiftly flew eastward.
Lu Chen was forced to flee due to the difference in cultivation levels against the avatar of Divine Dragon's Hideout, while the Treasure Guardian Beast inherently submitted to it.
The Treasure Guardian Beast possessed an ancient True Dragon Bloodline, and Divine Dragon's Hideout also belonged to the ancient Divine Dragon lineage. However, the original Divine Dragon's power was much stronger and purer than that of the Treasure Guardian Beast, which instilled a deep-rooted fear in it.
Even though Divine Dragon's Hideout had only released an avatar, it was enough to make the Treasure Guardian Beast tremble, stripping it of its will to fight.
Lu Chen considered this point, which is why he chose to escape at once. They had no chance against Divine Dragon's Hideout.
Moreover, other disciples from Yin Yang Gate could arrive at any moment to hunt them down. Would they easily let those who intruded into Shen Yuan Immortal Mansion go?
Riding on the back of the Treasure Guardian Beast, they dashed forward recklessly. The howling winds behind them and the intense dragon roars nearly tore at their eardrums, causing their heads to throb.
"What should we do, Lu Chen? Although Divine Dragon's Hideout is currently just an avatar, it is even closer to the ancient Divine Dragon bloodline than I am. Out of my reverence for the ancient Divine Dragon, I dare not confront this being. If I cross Thunder Pool, I fear that the ancient Divine Dragon will punish me. We cannot defeat him; what should we do?"
The Treasure Guardian Beast swiftly moved its limbs, quickly fleeing in the sky, and then spoke to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen furrowed his brows; he didn't need the Treasure Guardian Beast to ask him. His mind was already formulating a strategy.
There was simply no way around it. Even if the Divine Dragon's Hideout was just a clone, its power was so immense that it surpassed ten Bone-less Sorcerers combined.
No matter where Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast fled, the Divine Dragon's Hideout would cling to them like a leech, relentless and terrifying.
"Let's return to Yushan Kingdom's Naval Base. No matter how powerful the Divine Dragon's Hideout is, it's still just a clone, a manifestation of a Spell. It can't withstand the Yang Fire of hundreds of thousands of troops; we will burn it to death. Let's go."
Lu Chen patted the Treasure Guardian Beast on the neck, conveying his thoughts. Immediately, the Treasure Guardian Beast found its direction and began to fly rapidly toward Yushan Kingdom's Dama Town Naval Base.
Indeed, under Naval Minister Adolf of Yushan Kingdom, there were hundreds of thousands of naval troops. The intense Yang Qi Flame gathered together like a massive formation, making it impossible for ordinary Yin Spirits to approach.
Anyone who dared to come close would be burned alive as soon as the Great Formation activated, unless they were an Yin Immortal.
For this reason, heavy guards were stationed in the military camps; otherwise, national secrets would have been stolen long ago.
Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast flew ahead while the Dragon Clone pursued them from behind, with only two or three miles separating them.
Lu Chen glanced back and saw that the Dragon Clone looked exactly like the True Dragon in legends: antlers, eagle claws, fish scales, and a bull's mouth. Its body stretched fifty zhang long, thick and massive, exuding an aura of terror with its blood-red color and rolling Demonic Energy.
The distance between them continued to shorten. Fortunately, the Treasure Guardian Beast was also fast. As they flew past below, an endless ocean came into view, indicating that Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast had completely left land and were now over the sea.
Now, Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast no longer took any detours; they flew directly over the sea in a straight line. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the Naval Base of Yushan Kingdom.
Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast landed on a nearby mountain. As soon as they touched down, they attracted the attention of patrolling sailors, who quickly surrounded them to check the situation.
Lu Chen had no time to explain to these people and took off running with the Treasure Guardian Beast.
The sailors had not yet understood what was happening when they saw a massive creature descending from above, blocking out the sun and casting their location into darkness as if it were night.
When they looked up, they saw a gigantic Divine Dragon. Its long tail whipped down like a steel whip, instantly severing them in half, leaving their bodies in pieces, dead without question.
The Dragon Clone manifested in human form and landed steadily on the hillside. Upon seeing this person’s appearance, who could it be but Divine Dragon's Hideout?
Divine Dragon's Hideout flicked his sleeve and looked at the scattered remains on the ground, disdainfully saying, "Overestimating themselves, they deserved to die. Hmph."
Then, Divine Dragon's Hideout raised his head to gaze in the direction where Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast had fled, noticing that they had already taken a shortcut into the Naval Base.
Divine Dragon's Hideout tilted his head back and then retreated slightly, muttering to himself, "The yang energy here is too strong; I am not suited to go deeper. Otherwise, I might face dire consequences. But if I just go back like this, it would be hard to explain. I can't lower my face in front of Essence and Supreme Emperor; I would surely be mocked. It seems I can only wait here for now; opportunities will arise eventually. As long as someone is alone, capturing one to take back would suffice."
The Dragon Clone did not want to return empty-handed for fear of losing face. Therefore, he decided to stay nearby and wait. As soon as someone was alone, he would capture them and take them back to Yin Yang Gate to report, avoiding ridicule for having acted rashly due to temporary bravado.
Back at the Naval Base, Lu Chen met with Princess Zhulan and others. He briefly recounted his experiences during this time and what had happened, which drew exclamations from everyone.
Subsequently, Lu Chen learned that during his absence, Chen Qilin's Naval Base had made significant progress; the weaponry and equipment were nearing completion.
The weaponry was fully equipped, and the large ship still needed to undergo final preparations, including loading and unloading supplies. Lu Chen felt extremely pleased upon hearing this news; after so much effort and time spent, he was finally about to see results.
That should be an exhilarating scene, Lu Chen thought to himself.
He then led everyone to the Dock to check on the progress of the ship and discussed some related matters with Chen Qilin.
As night fell, Lu Chen returned to the Naval Base but was stopped by the Treasure Guardian Beast.
In the backyard of the Naval Minister's Residence, there was a special courtyard dedicated to the Treasure Guardian Beast, which had dedicated caretakers. The resources and expenses for this place were far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.
"Lu Chen, I unexpectedly discovered that the avatar of the Divine Dragon's Hideout has not left; it is lurking near the Naval Base. It fears the Yang Qi Flame of the Naval Base and does not dare to approach easily, yet it remains here, secretly observing the Naval Minister's Residence. I suspect its intentions are not pure. My heart is restless; I cannot calm down, as I feel something is about to happen."
The Treasure Guardian Beast expressed its concerns to Lu Chen word by word.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately took it seriously. He might not trust others' words, but since the Treasure Guardian Beast and the Divine Dragon's Hideout were from the same lineage and had a subtle connection, he believed what the Treasure Guardian Beast said was true. He immediately became alert, furrowing his brow.
"You and I together would still not be a match for this person," Lu Chen said to the Treasure Guardian Beast.
