Chapter 2442 - 2132: We’ll Make Our Move Tonight

Lu Chen’s flying speed was incredibly fast, taking less than a quarter of an hour to arrive at the Dazhou army’s camp.

Lu Chen descended from the sky, heading straight towards Ji Yunmeng’s tent.

At that moment, Ji Yunmeng, clad in armor, was sitting at a desk in the tent, perusing some intelligence gathered by soldiers who entered Anhe County.

Upon sensing Lu Chen’s presence, Ji Yunmeng immediately put down the intelligence papers in her hand, looked up at Lu Chen, and coldly asked, "Why does the busiest man have time to visit?"

Before the army set out, Ji Yunmeng specifically sent people to Zhen Nan Prince Manor to call for Lu Chen. However, the returnees informed him that Lu Chen was engaged in dual cultivation with his partners and instructed no one to disturb them.

This angered Ji Yunmeng greatly, as Lu Chen had promised to help her deal with those from the Outer Domain, yet at this critical juncture, he went off to cavort with women.

Sensing the sarcasm in Ji Yunmeng’s tone, Lu Chen smiled and replied, "Did I offend Your Majesty? Why is there a barb in your words?"

Ji Yunmeng couldn’t be bothered to argue with Lu Chen about this, so she changed the topic: "Did you notice anything?"

Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng’s question, Lu Chen asked back, "Notice what?"

Ji Yunmeng said, "There’s something in Anhe County that could threaten us."

Hearing this, Lu Chen replied, "Your intuition is indeed sharp."

"Anhe County truly has something that poses a threat to the Heavenly Realm; the Outer Domain Forces have set up a formation there, just waiting for you to enter."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Yunmeng felt relieved for having been cautious about entering Anhe County immediately.

Ji Yunmeng asked, "What should be done next?"

Lu Chen chuckled, "You are the Emperor; you should come up with your own strategy."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunmeng frowned slightly. Was this dogman mocking her incompetence as an Emperor?

At this moment, Lu Chen glanced over Ji Yunmeng.

Ji Yunmeng was draped in platinum armor, her hair elegantly styled, exuding a valiant and unique charm.

Lu Chen took a few steps to Ji Yunmeng’s side, reached out to encircle her waist, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it’s been hard on you these days. Want me to give you a massage?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunmeng’s expression turned colder. She immediately pushed Lu Chen’s hand away and said, "This is a military camp; don’t even think about misbehaving."

This beast is always hormonal, thinking about violating in such a place.

Lu Chen wasn’t angered by Ji Yunmeng’s rejection; he merely smiled lightly and then once again placed his hand around her waist.

Ji Yunmeng continued, "The spies I sent reported a significant number of Outer Domain people in Anhe County. If we keep ignoring them, they will undoubtedly slaughter more Dazhou citizens."

"If you have a way to deal with them, speak up. Once the matter is settled, you can do whatever you want. Right now, keep your hands to yourself."

She was accustomed to Lu Chen’s lecherousness, but even if something were to happen, it must be in a proper place. No matter what, not in the military camp.

Then Lu Chen said, "I have already sent people into Anhe County to investigate. Once we understand the situation there, we’ll proceed."

"Didn’t you say the Outer Domain people have set up an array in Anhe County? If we enter, isn’t there a risk of being trapped in the great array?"

Lu Chen calmly replied, "No matter how strong the formation, it has flaws. As long as we can find the array hub, we can break it."

Ji Yunmeng said, "Since they set up the formation, it’s impossible to easily find the array hub."

Lu Chen said, "It may be difficult for ordinary people to find the array hub, but I sent people who excel in concealing their aura and they might locate the hub."

Seeing Lu Chen so confident, Ji Yunmeng didn’t ask further questions. Now, it’s up to Lu Chen’s people to prove their worth.

If they can indeed find the hub, they can charge straight in.

Even if they fail to find the hub, they will still send soldiers to eliminate the Outer Domain people.

In the following days, Lu Chen stayed in the military camp and went nowhere.

Meanwhile, Yun Yudie dispatched numerous mysterious evil spirits into Anhe County to probe its situation.

The Outer Domain people noticed the increasing presence of mysterious evil spirits in Anhe County but did not associate them with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

To them, it seemed that due to the decline in Great Zhou’s Qi Fortune, these strange and evil beings grew increasingly rampant.

Mysterious evil spirits stood opposed to the Great Zhou Dynasty; they never considered that evil spirits would work for Great Zhou. So, even if Anhe County’s interior was chaotic with mysterious evil spirits, they didn’t intervene and let the spirits run free.

A few days later, at a courtyard in Anhe County, Chen Min and others gathered again.

Chen Min glanced at the people in the courtyard, noticing Wu Junwan’s absence; a man from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was present instead.

Chen Min immediately asked, "Where’s Your Majesty? Why isn’t she here today?"

The man replied, "Princess Junwan is currently trapped in the Capital city and cannot leave."

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong’s mocking voice came from the Red Flower Sedan, "At such a critical time, she dared to run to the Great Zhou Capital. She’s truly a brainless woman with big ambitions."

Upon hearing this, the man from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty immediately reprimanded, "Demoness, our Princess is not yours to insult."

Saying this, he showed signs of hostility.

Chen Min immediately said, "Enough. Now is not the time for quarrels. Since she isn’t here, you will replace your Majesty."

The man from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was also an Earth Realm Spirit Warrior, so Wu Junwan’s absence didn’t matter much. Their formation was already set, waiting for Ji Yunmeng to walk into it.

Yelv Nanyan spoke up at this moment, "Ji Yunmeng seems to have noticed danger in Anhe County."

When Ji Yunmeng led the army to Anhe County’s perimeter, they remained stationed there without entering the county.

She never entered Anhe County, only sending people to gather intel, clearly indicating she found something.

This made Yelv Nanyan a bit worried. If Ji Yunmeng never falls for it and never enters Anhe County, how are they going to seal her?

At this moment, Xue Linglong lazily said from the Red Flower Sedan, "The Blood Refining Seal Array is already complete. Even if she doesn’t enter Anhe County, we can take the initiative."

Upon hearing this, Chen Min asked, "Can this array seal someone outside its bounds?"

Xue Linglong said, "This formation is mobile. As long as the array hub is in my possession, the array can be activated at any time."

Upon hearing Xue Linglong’s words, everyone was delighted. If that’s the case, they no longer needed to waste time here.

Immediately, Chen Min said, "In that case, let’s act tonight and test this Blood Refining Seal Array’s power."

...

Night descended, and the blood moon was high.

Ji Yunmeng sat crossed-legged at the desk, reviewing the intelligence sent today.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen sat beside her, staring at her.

With Lu Chen constantly staring like this, Ji Yunmeng felt uneasy.

Though Lu Chen had behaved quite well in recent days and didn’t act violently in the tent, she couldn’t shake the feeling he was eager to act with her.

His eyes were too predatory, and whenever he stared like that, she felt Lu Chen might pounce at any moment.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng put down the intelligence in her hand, turned her head, and said to Lu Chen, "Why are you glued here? It’s late; you should return to your tent to rest."
