Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Faced with Wu Qi's questioning, Lu Chen smiled and said, "What do you mean I did something to your princess? Your princess stayed in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion voluntarily."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Qi fell into deep thought.

Willing to stay at the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion?

How could their princess possibly stay in the mansion of such a person?

Lu Chen is definitely lying to himself.

Wu Qi then warned, "If our princess suffers any harm, once the Heavenly Desolation Restriction disappears and the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty's army descends, you will surely die."

Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "I'll wait and see. Alright, if there's nothing else, then get lost."

Seeing that Lu Chen actually spoke to him like that, Wu Qi became even angrier, but feeling the pressure on his body, Wu Qi had no choice but to endure it.

This barbarian is already at the King Realm, and he is no match for him. If he were to make a move now, it would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

The best approach is to find a way to rescue their princess first, then wait for the restrictions on the borderlands to disappear, and for a powerful king-level expert from the Great Yan Dynasty to enter this world before dealing with this person.

After calming himself down, Wu Qi struggled to his feet, then flicked his sleeves and walked directly out of the main hall.

Watching Wu Qi's departing figure, Ji Yunmeng frowned slightly, then asked, "You're just going to release him like that?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "How could that be? I'm waiting for him to find the others so I can catch them all at once, instead of having to search for them one by one."

Although Lu Chen's senses are now very powerful, he cannot pinpoint the location of people from other regions if they conceal their presence. If they choose to hide, he will not be able to find them immediately.

Instead of wasting energy searching for them, let them come to us.

Now that they know Wu Yunwan is in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, they will definitely try to find a way to rescue her.

In this way, wouldn't these people be walking right into a trap?

Ji Yunmeng was about to say something when she suddenly realized her seat was a bit uncomfortable. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Lu Chen—that bastard…

Seeing that Ji Yunmeng seemed to roll her eyes at him, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen embraced Ji Yunmeng's slender waist, then buried his head in her hair and took a deep breath.

Then, with a look of pure delight, he said, "You must be under a lot of pressure lately, right? How about I help you relax?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yunmeng immediately refused, saying, "No need."

She knew all too well what Lu Chen meant by "relaxation".

Although that kind of thing could indeed relax her, she didn't want to be played by Lu Chen, and once that bastard got into a playful mood, he would never stop.

Of course, she knew her refusal was useless.

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

The maids, understanding the situation, immediately left the main hall and then closed the doors of the council hall.

In an instant, the entire hall fell dark.

The next moment, Lu Chen turned her body around and then directly sealed her red lips with his.

After cursing Lu Chen a few times in her heart, Ji Yunmeng let Lu Chen do whatever he wanted.

She felt that she, the emperor, was becoming increasingly muddleheaded, actually doing things with this scoundrel in such a place.

But this has nothing to do with her; she was forced into it.

Before long, Ji Yunmeng's beautiful and melodious natural singing voice filled the main hall.

……

After leaving the palace, Wu Qi immediately went to the entrance of the ancient ruins.

At this moment, Sun Bai and the others were looking at the entrance to the ruins in front of them, discussing how to enter the ruins.

A soldier from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty said, "If you ask me, we should just capture the Empress of the Great Zhou and force her to tell us how to enter the ruins."

At this moment, another soldier from the Great Yan Dynasty said, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has at least three Heavenly Realm experts. If a fight breaks out, we will not be able to emerge unscathed."

"Let's threaten her with the name of the Immortal Dynasty first and see if she knows what's good for her. If she doesn't, then we can take action."

In the eyes of some of the Great Yan soldiers, the Great Zhou Empress was just a barbarian from the frontier. Even if she had become a Heavenly Realm cultivator, her strength was not great. However, when Heavenly Realm cultivators fought, they would inevitably get injured, and it was impossible for them to remain unscathed.

Now that various forces have gathered in the desolate borderlands, if they are injured and encounter disciples from other forces, they will be at a disadvantage when vying for the ancient inheritance.

Therefore, what they fear is not the Empress of Great Zhou, but other forces.

For them, it's best to avoid getting hurt if possible.

Sun Bai thought so too, which is why he didn't take the initiative to find Ji Yunmeng, but instead sent Wu Qi to the capital.

However, some people in the Great Yan Dynasty believed that they didn't need to worry so much and could just take action directly.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Upon seeing the figure, a Great Yan soldier exclaimed, "Look, Wu Qi is back!"

No sooner had the soldier finished speaking than Wu Qi landed from the air and quickly walked up to Sun Bai.

Sun Bai immediately asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where is the Empress of Great Zhou?"

Wu Qi said with a dark face, "Commander Sun, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the ancient ruins for the time being."

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

Wu Qi said, "The heir of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is Wang Jing."

No sooner had Wu Qi finished speaking than a soldier from the Great Yan Dynasty exclaimed, "Impossible! How could a King-level expert be born in this world?"

It's no wonder they didn't believe it; even in Zhongzhou, breaking through to the King Realm is not easy, let alone in a place like this where spiritual energy is scarce.

Breaking through to the King Realm requires an unknown amount of resources, as well as the corresponding cultivation techniques. The borderlands have neither sufficient resources nor the necessary techniques for reaching the King Realm.

Regardless of whether others believed him or not, Wu Qi continued, "There's another piece of news: the eldest princess is at the Zhennan Prince's residence."

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

They knew a bit about Lu Chen, including that he was a womanizer.

Now that their eldest princess has fallen into Lu Chen's hands, she has probably already been defiled by him.

Thinking of this, Sun Bai clenched his fist, and his Heavenly Realm aura suddenly erupted.

He asked coldly, "Have you seen the princess?"

Wu Qi said, "No, Lu Chen told me."

At this moment, a soldier from the Great Yan said, "Could this be a false message spread by that person, deliberately leading us to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

Wu Qi said, "That's unlikely. With his King-level perception, finding us wouldn't be difficult for him."

Sun Bai's face darkened, and he didn't say anything more.

He sensed that things were getting complicated.

Zhao Xuange has always secretly loved Wu Yunwan and wanted to marry her.

If Wu Yunwan had truly lost her virginity, especially to a barbarian from the borderlands, it would be absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Xuange.

The Zhao family is a prominent and influential family, and they would never marry a woman who is not virtuous.

Of all the princesses in the royal family, Zhao Xuange only took a liking to Wu Yunwan because Wu Yunwan focused on cultivation and did not indulge in romantic pleasures.

All the other princesses of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty were dissolute, but only Princess Wu Yunwan remained chaste.

If Wu Yunwan were to lose her virginity, especially to a barbarian in a remote border region, Zhao Xuange would surely be furious upon learning of it, and he himself would likely be implicated.

Zhao Xuange will definitely blame him for not protecting the princess.

The thought of potential punishment after leaving the borderlands made Sun Bai's face grow increasingly grim, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter. (End of Chapter)
