Chapter 2465 - 2155: You’ve Been Under a Lot of Stress Lately, Haven’t You?

Facing Wu Qi’s questioning, Lu Chen smiled and said, "What do you mean by ’What have I done to your princess?’ Your princess voluntarily stayed at Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wu Qi fell into contemplation.

Voluntarily stayed at Zhen Nan Prince Manor?

How could their princess possibly stay at such a person’s residence?

Lu Chen must be lying to him.

Wu Qi then warned, "If our princess is harmed in any way, once the Border Wilderness restrictions disappear and the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty’s army descends, you are doomed."

Lu Chen said indifferently, "I look forward to it. Alright, if there’s nothing else, get lost."

Seeing Lu Chen speak to him like this, Wu Qi felt even more enraged in his heart, but sensing the pressure on him, Wu Qi had no choice but to endure.

This Border Desolate native is already in the King Realm; he is not a match. If he acts now, it would be like throwing eggs against a rock.

The best strategy is to first find a way to rescue their princess and wait for the restrictions on the Border Wilderness to disappear, then let Great Yan’s King Realm experts enter this world to settle accounts with this person.

After calming his emotions, Wu Qi struggled to get up from the ground, then flicked his sleeve and walked straight towards the outside of the hall.

Watching Wu Qi’s departing figure, Ji Yunmeng slightly frowned her brows and then asked, "You’re just letting him go?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "How could I? I’m waiting for him to find others, then catch them all in one fell swoop, saving me the trouble of looking for them one by one."

Although Lu Chen’s sensing abilities are now very strong, when people from the Outer Domain hide their auras, he cannot pinpoint their locations. If they want to hide, he cannot find them first.

Rather than wasting energy searching for them, it’s better to let them deliver themselves to his doorstep.

They now know that Wu Junwan is in Zhen Nan Prince Manor, and would certainly try to find a way to rescue her.

In this way, wouldn’t these people be walking into a trap themselves?

Ji Yunmeng wanted to say something else, but suddenly felt her seat was uncomfortable. Ji Yunmeng glanced at Lu Chen with the corner of her eye; this lousy man...

Seeing Ji Yunmeng give him a look, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen wrapped his arm around Ji Yunmeng’s waist and buried his head in her hair, taking a deep breath.

Then he said with a face of intoxication, "You’ve probably been very stressed lately, right? How about I help you relax a bit."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Yunmeng immediately refused, "No need."

She knew all too well what Lu Chen’s idea of relaxation meant.

Though that sort of thing could indeed help her relax, she did not want to be toyed with by Lu Chen, and this lousy man, once he gets playful, it’s endless.

Of course, she knew her refusal was useless.

Sure enough, the next second Lu Chen said to the maids in the hall, "You all go out."

The maids sensibly left the hall immediately, then closed the doors of the Hall of Political Affairs.

In an instant, the entire hall dimmed.

In the next moment, Lu Chen turned her body around and directly covered her red lips.

Ji Yunmeng cursed Lu Chen several times in her heart, then let him have his way.

She felt her role as Emperor was becoming more muddled, doing such things with this lousy man in such a place.

However, it had nothing to do with her; she was forced.

Before long, the hall was filled with Ji Yunmeng’s beautiful and melodious natural song.

...

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Wu Qi immediately headed to the entrance of the Ancient Ruins.

At this time, Sun Bai and others were looking at the entrance of the ruins, discussing how to enter.

A soldier from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty said, "I say, just directly capture the Great Zhou Empress and force her to tell us how to enter the ruins."

Another soldier from Great Yan said, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has at least three Heavenly Realms; if we fight, we won’t walk away unscathed."

"Better to use the name of the Immortal Dynasty to threaten her first, see if she cooperates; if not, it’ll still be time to act then."

In the view of some Great Yan soldiers, the Great Zhou Empress is merely a Border Desolate native; even if she reaches Heavenly Realm, her strength isn’t great, but when Heavenly Realms fight, they will get hurt; they won’t walk away unscathed.

Now that forces from all sides are gathering in the Border Desolate Land, if they get hurt and encounter disciples from other forces, during the scramble for Ancient Inheritance, they would fall behind.

So they fear not the Great Zhou Empress but other forces.

To them, it’s best not to get hurt if possible.

Sun Bai thought the same, which is why he hadn’t gone to Ji Yunmeng directly but sent Wu Qi to the Capital City.

However, some in Great Yan thought there was no need to worry so much and could just act directly.

Just then, a silhouette suddenly appeared in the distant sky; upon seeing the figure, a Great Yan soldier said, "Look, Wu Qi is back."

The soldier had just finished speaking when Wu Qi descended from the sky, quickly walking to Sun Bai’s side.

Sun Bai immediately asked, "Why did you come alone? Where’s the Great Zhou Empress?"

Wu Qi, with a darkened face, said, "Commander Sun, I’m afraid we can’t enter the Ancient Ruins for now."

Sun Bai was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What happened?"

Wu Qi said, "The princely heir of Zhen Nan Prince Manor is King Realm."

Wu Qi’s words had just left his mouth when a Great Yan soldier immediately said, "Impossible, how could there be a King Realm expert in this world?"

It wasn’t strange that they didn’t believe him; even in Central State, breaking through King Realm isn’t easy, not to mention in such a spiritual evil-scarce place.

To break through King Realm requires unknown resources and a corresponding cultivation technique. The Border Wilderness lacks both sufficient resources and cultivation techniques to reach King Realm.

Regardless of whether the others believed him, Wu Qi continued, "Additionally, there’s another piece of news: the princess is in Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Upon hearing Wu Qi’s words, Sun Bai’s heart skipped a beat.

They knew Lu Chen somewhat, knowing he’s a lustful person.

Now that their princess fell into Lu Chen’s hands, she was probably defiled by him.

Thinking of this, Sun Bai clenched his fists, and Heavenly Realm aura erupted from him.

He coldly asked, "Did you see the princess?"

Wu Qi said, "No, that’s what Lu Chen told me."

At this time, a Great Yan soldier nearby said, "Could this be false information to deliberately lure us to Zhen Nan Prince Manor?"

Wu Qi said, "Probably not likely; with his King Realm sensing abilities, it’s not difficult to find us."

Sun Bai, with a darkened face, said nothing further.

He felt the situation was getting troublesome.

Zhao Xuange has always had a crush on Wu Junwan, wanting to marry her.

If Wu Junwan really lost her purity, especially to a Border Desolate native, this would be absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Xuange.

The Zhao family is a noble family and wouldn’t marry impure women.

Among the Royal Family’s princesses, Zhao Xuange only chooses Wu Junwan because her focus is on cultivation, not indulging in carnal pleasures.

The other princesses of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty are individually promiscuous, only Wu Junwan has preserved her purity.

If Wu Junwan loses her purity, especially to a Border Desolate native, once Zhao Xuange learns of this, he will surely be furious, and he might implicate himself.

At that time, Zhao Xuange will certainly blame him for not protecting the princess.

Thinking of potentially facing punishment after leaving the Border Desolate Land, Sun Bai’s face turned increasingly dark, his fists tightening more and more.
