Chapter 2470 - 2160: We Shall Now Head to the Great Zhou Dynasty

Feeling this vast, overwhelming pressure, Sun Bai was stunned for a moment.

King Realm?

Could it be that Lu Chen has come?

He hurriedly opened the window, wanting to see which King Realm was in the sky.

But with a single glance, he realized the newcomer wasn’t Lu Chen at all, but Zhao Xuange.

Seeing that it was Zhao Xuange himself, Sun Bai’s face instantly turned deathly pale, and he muttered, "Why did he come?"

This is trouble now...

The first thing Zhao Xuange would do upon coming to the Border Wilderness would definitely be to look for Princess Junwan. Once he found out the Princess had already lost her chastity, he would definitely take it out on him.

Thinking of this, cold sweat streamed down Sun Bai’s forehead.

After Zhao Xuange arrived above the city, he immediately used his spiritual evil to spread his voice throughout the entire city: "Commander Sun, where are you? I’ve arrived."

Hearing Zhao Xuange call his name directly, Sun Bai knew he couldn’t hide any longer, so he forced himself to appear calm, flew out from the window, landed on the roof, and bowed toward Zhao Xuange. "Subordinate pays respects to General Zhao."

Seeing Sun Bai come out of a room in the tavern, Zhao Xuange didn’t say a word and flew straight into the room Sun Bai had just been in.

The next moment, Zhao Xuange’s voice came: "Come in."

Hearing Zhao Xuange’s words, Sun Bai shakily returned to the private room from before.

Zhao Xuange sat down at the table, looked at Sun Bai, and asked, "You’ve been in the Border Wilderness for some time now. Have you found Princess Junwan?"

Sun Bai fell silent.

Seeing Sun Bai not immediately answer, Zhao Xuange’s face darkened in an instant, and he said coldly, "What? You still haven’t found Princess Junwan?"

Sun Bai hurriedly knelt and said, "General Zhao, please forgive me. It’s not that we haven’t found Princess Junwan, but that there’s someone in the Border Wilderness we can’t afford to provoke."

Sun Bai decided to tell Zhao Xuange about certain matters, diverting his attention.

Hearing this, Zhao Xuange asked in confusion, "Someone you can’t afford to provoke? Come, tell me—what kind of existence in a place like this could even a Heavenly Realm like you not afford to provoke?"

The first thing Zhao Xuange thought of was that Sun Bai had run into Heavenly Realm experts from other factions in the Central State, had been defeated by them, and that was why he was saying such things.

It never even crossed his mind that a place like the Border Wilderness could have a powerhouse above the Heavenly Realm.

Just then, Sun Bai stammered, "General, there is a dynasty in the Border Wilderness called Dazhou. Within that dynasty there exists a King Realm powerhouse. His strength is terrifying, and he does not permit any Outer Domain people to enter Dazhou. Any Outer Domain person who enters Dazhou is cut down by him."

"And the Princess is hiding within Dazhou. We don’t dare approach Dazhou, so we simply cannot search for the Princess."

"This..."

Zhao Xuange could hardly believe what he was hearing.

A King Realm powerhouse existing in a place like the Border Wilderness—how was that possible?

Just how thin had the spiritual evil become here?

Could this scant spiritual evil really raise a King Realm?

What a joke.

That person most likely wasn’t from the Border Wilderness at all, but someone like him who had squeezed in through a crack in the barrier.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Xuange’s face turned even darker, and he muttered to himself, "Looks like other factions have also found cracks in the barrier that can accommodate King Realm Spirit Martial Artists entering the Border Wilderness."

Zhao Xuange fell into deep thought, pondering what he should do next.

Seeing Zhao Xuange silent, Sun Bai cautiously probed, "General, what should we do next?"

Zhao Xuange came back to himself and asked, "Have you investigated any information regarding that King Realm? Do you know which faction he belongs to?"

Sun Bai answered, "According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, that King Realm seems to be someone of the Border Wilderness."

The moment Sun Bai finished speaking, Zhao Xuange immediately refuted him: "Impossible! How could a place like this give birth to a King Realm? That person must have come from the Central State."

Zhao Xuange himself was King Realm, so he knew very well what kind of talent it took to step into the King Realm, and how many cultivation resources were required.

In a place like the Border Wilderness, where spiritual evil was so thin, it was simply impossible to give birth to a King Realm Spirit Martial Artist.

Sun Bai didn’t argue with Zhao Xuange, and just kept agreeing: "General is right. Subordinate also suspects he is someone from the Central State."

"However, according to our investigation, he seems to have arrived in the Border Wilderness very early. Before we came, he already existed within the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuange fell silent again.

He existed in the Great Zhou Dynasty before they came?

Could it be that long ago the Border Wilderness barrier already developed cracks large enough to allow King Realm powerhouses to enter?

In any case, even if that man was King Realm, he still couldn’t stop him from seeking Wu Junwan.

Wu Junwan was the woman he had his eye on. If he could marry Wu Junwan, the Zhao family’s status in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty would become even more secure.

Immediately, Zhao Xuange said, "No matter which faction that man hails from, he cannot stop me from searching for Princess Junwan. We will head to the Great Zhou Dynasty at once."

Having said that, Zhao Xuange prepared to leave the room and have Sun Bai lead the way to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing Zhao Xuange so impatient, Sun Bai let out a deep sigh and said nothing more. He knew he couldn’t stop Zhao Xuange.

After that, Sun Bai personally led Zhao Xuange toward the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As soon as they flew into the skies above the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Chen sensed Zhao Xuange’s aura.

At the same time, Zhao Xuange also detected an aura within the Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory that was not weaker than his own.

At this moment Sun Bai reminded Zhao Xuange, "General, we cannot go any farther. If we continue forward, we’ll reach the Capital city of Dazhou. At that point, we may very well enrage Lu Chen."

Zhao Xuange said nothing and proactively released his own aura.

At that moment, a figure came from afar, drawing near and very quickly arriving in front of Zhao Xuange.

Zhao Xuange sized up the newcomer. The man wore a white robe with golden embroidery along the hem, a golden coronet on his head, and exuded an otherworldly bearing, looking just like an Immortal who had descended to the mortal world.

Feeling the pressure on this man that was not weaker than his own, Zhao Xuange knew at once this must be the King Realm Sun Bai had mentioned.

Zhao Xuange immediately asked, "May I ask which Central State faction you belong to?"

Hearing Zhao Xuange’s question, Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Sorry, but I’m not one of the Central State people you speak of."

Zhao Xuange’s brows knit at once. Not from the Central State? What kind of joke was this?

The man was obviously lying to him.

He simply couldn’t figure out what benefit there was in deceiving him.

Why hide his identity?

Could it be he was planning something unspeakable? Or scheming in some way?

For a Central State cultivator to hide his identity when entering the Border Wilderness, there was a high chance he intended to do evil against other factions, such as slaughtering the disciples of other factions.

Things like that were extremely common. Especially when competing over treasures in a Secret Realm: each faction would send disciples into an undeveloped Secret Realm, and many people would die, most of them in fact killed by disciples of other factions rather than by the Secret Realm’s mechanisms and formations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuange instantly became wary; spiritual evil had already gathered in his palm, ready to strike at any moment.

He did not continue to press about identity, but instead asked, "Sir, I intend to enter Dazhou to search for the Princess of my Immortal Dynasty. Might you be willing to grant me this convenience?"
