Chapter 2469 - 2159: What Danger Could the Border Wilderness Hold?

Lu Chen slightly moved his index finger and felt it becoming difficult to bend flexibly, as if it were cramping, but he wasn’t too concerned.

If there were no restrictions on using the power of the Undying Bone, he wouldn’t only be invincible in the King Realm; even above the King Realm, at the Emperor Realm, Saint Realm, and Emperor Realm, he wouldn’t be afraid. That would be too exaggerated.

It seems the Undying Bone can only be used as a trump card in the future.

If he encounters an enemy he cannot defeat, he would then utilize the power of the Undying Bone.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Border Wilderness.

In a certain valley, a luxurious flying boat slowly descended from the sky, landing between the valley.

Zhao Xuange leapt down from the flying boat and asked the person beside him, "Where is the new rift?"

A soldier of Great Yan, clad in armor, quickly said to Zhao Xuange, "General Zhao, please follow me."

After speaking, he led Zhao Xuange to a black rift deep in the valley.

Looking at the black rift before him, Zhao Xuange turned his head and asked, "Have you tried? What realm of Spirit Martial Artists can enter this rift?"

The soldier beside Zhao Xuange replied, "General, Spirit Martial Artists at the early-stage King Realm and below can enter."

Upon hearing the soldier’s response, Zhao Xuange felt joyful; his realm happened to be early-stage King Realm, meaning he could also enter the Border Wilderness.

Finally able to meet Wu Junwan.

Immediately, he ordered, "Seal off the information, do not let anyone approach this valley."

"Furthermore, this General is to enter the Border Wilderness."

So far, most of the Central State Power has found restricted rifts that only allow Spirit Martial Artists at the early Heavenly Realm to enter.

But now they’ve found a rift that allows King Realm martial artists to pass through, which is unquestionably great news for Great Yan.

In Zhao Xuange’s opinion, Spirit Martial Artists at the Heavenly Realm are already invincible in the Border Wilderness; if he, a King Realm martial artist, enters, wouldn’t the Border Wilderness be his domain?

Once they find the Ancient Ruins, no one can compete with them for the Ancient Inheritance, not even those powers from the Central State.

Upon hearing Zhao Xuange’s words, an elder beside him quickly said, "Young Master must not, we still don’t know if there are any dangers in the Border Wilderness. If you rashly enter, the old servant won’t be beside you, and there’ll be no one to protect you."

The elder beside Zhao Xuange was sent by the Zhao family to protect him, serving as his protector.

Disciples from aristocratic families like him have a noble identity; whenever leaving the family, they are accompanied by protectors.

The elder’s realm exceeds the King Realm, so he cannot enter the Border Wilderness now. Thus, he worries if Zhao Xuange encounters danger inside and he cannot appear by Zhao Xuange’s side in time, causing harm to him, he would be unable to escape responsibility.

After hearing the elder’s words, Zhao Xuange’s face sank, then he said, "What danger could there be in the Border Wilderness? Currently, the powers of various factions cannot enter yet. Do you, Elder Wang, think my strength is inferior to those Heavenly Realm Spirit Martial Artists?"

Even after hearing Zhao Xuange’s words, Wang Jun still advised, "Young Master, perhaps the people inside aren’t as strong as you, but the Great Power must have set many restrictions in the Border Wilderness when leaving the Ancient Ruins there. If you accidentally touch those restrictions after entering..."

Upon hearing Wang Jun’s words, Zhao Xuange’s face turned even darker.

What is Wang Jun talking about?

Is he cursing me?

Zhao Xuange immediately interrupted, "Elder Wang, there’s no need to say more. I’ve made up my mind. Should anything really happen, it has nothing to do with you."

"Besides, I have enough life-saving cards. If I truly encounter danger, I’ll use them immediately."

Seeing Zhao Xuange speak so decisively, Wang Jun had no choice but to remain silent and say no more.

So, Zhao Xuange led a few Heavenly Realm martial artists and dozens of Great Yan soldiers to that black rift, and upon entering the rift, they were plunged into darkness, unable to see anything.

Yet, in just moments, light appeared before their eyes.

In the distance was an endless desert, yellow sand rolling, dust filling the sky.

Upon stepping into the Border Wilderness, everyone felt their bodies relax.

Spiritual evil differs from Spiritual Energy; the denser the spiritual evil, the greater the burden on the body.

Thus, areas with sparse spiritual evil, although not conducive to cultivation, make people feel very relaxed.

Upon entering the Border Wilderness, Zhao Xuange immediately said to the crowd, "Use the Deceitful Sound Stone to find Sun Bai and the others."

The Deceitful Sound Stone possesses the ability to transmit sound.

In Central State, the Deceitful Sound Stone is usually used for communication between Spirit Martial Artists, but it’s very precious, and average people cannot afford to use it. Also, using it consumes a large amount of spiritual evil.

After Zhao Xuange issued the command, a soldier beside him took out the Deceitful Sound Stone and began to infuse it with spiritual evil.

Soon, fragmented voices emerged from the Deceitful Sound Stone.

Meanwhile, in a certain city within the Border Wilderness, Sun Bai was drinking to pass the time.

The sparse spiritual evil in the Border Wilderness is unsuitable for martial arts practice.

Therefore, ever since entering the Border Wilderness, he has spent most days drinking, as there’s little else he can do.

With Lu Chen around, he dared not create any trouble and could only waste away the time, waiting for the restrictions on the Border Wilderness to be lifted.

Suddenly, he noticed the Deceitful Sound Stone in his pocket begin to vibrate.

Sun Bai quickly extracted the Deceitful Sound Stone from his clothes.

In the next moment, a voice emanated from the Deceitful Sound Stone: "Commander Sun, can you hear me? Where are you all now?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Bai was taken aback, not expecting someone to enter the Border Wilderness so quickly again?

Could Zhao Xuange and the others have found another rift?

Sun Bai calmed himself, then infused the Deceitful Sound Stone with spiritual evil, responding, "I can hear you. I’m currently in Desert Stone City. Let’s talk once we meet."

Transmitting sound with the Deceitful Sound Stone consumes a substantial amount of spiritual evil; just that sentence nearly depleted half of Sun Bai’s spiritual evil within.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Sun Bai’s words, Zhao Xuange led his people to randomly find a native of the Border Wilderness to inquire about the direction to Desert Stone City and immediately headed there.

At this moment, Sun Bai was unaware Zhao Xuange had personally entered the Border Wilderness, still contemplating how to help Wu Junwan conceal her loss of chastity when meeting the newcomers.

Although the truth would soon come out, it’s better to keep it hidden until they recruit Lu Chen, mainly to keep it from Zhao Xuange.

As for the Royal Family, whether they know or not doesn’t matter, as Great Yan Royal Family Princesses are seldom pure, and the Royal Family doesn’t care if they lose their chastity. Furthermore, Wu Junwan lost it to such a talented man, which if the Emperor knew, he might even be pleased.

However, Zhao Xuange’s identity and position differ from the Royal Family’s.

Zhao Xuange desires Wu Junwan as a woman, and even if Lu Chen is highly talented, it’s irrelevant to the Zhao family; they would instead view Lu Chen as a threat.

Just as Sun Bai was considering what excuse to use to prevent newcomers from approaching the Great Zhou Dynasty, suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Desert Stone City.
