Lu Chen's move to eradicate the root of the problem directly reduced the Bone-less Sorcerer to ashes, eliminating any possibility of Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation, meaning that this individual could never be revived again. From now on, there would be no trace of this person left in the world.
If he did not take decisive action, there was a chance that a fragment of the Yin Spirit could escape and return to the Gaochang Ancient Kingdom's lair, allowing for the possibility of rebirth.
Dealing with such a cunning old monster required ruthlessness and leaving no room for mercy.
Lu Chen's true form slowly descended from In the Sky, landing on the ground, with the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron already in his hands.
At this moment, the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron was no longer just a simple cauldron; it contained a Treasure Guardian Beast that had lost its fighting spirit. The cauldron fluctuated in size, making it difficult to control.
The Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron originally belonged to the Former Han Dynasty and was used to suppress the imperial palace. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, its whereabouts became unknown.
Later, the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron unexpectedly fell into the hands of the Bone-less Sorcerer, who devoted great effort to refining it and activated its Imperial Gold Energy for personal use.
Now that the Bone-less Sorcerer was dead and turned to dust, the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron lost its master and became uncontrollable. It was more accurate to say that it was in a state of being ownerless.
At this moment, Lu Chen needed to expend tremendous energy to forcibly suppress it and prevent it from slipping out of his grasp. Such a precious treasure had come into his possession; how could Lu Chen allow it to escape easily?
Moreover, it was undoubtedly a supreme treasure, possessing an internal space like the Jun Bell; it was just that the Bone-less Sorcerer had not utilized it properly.
"Human, you have won!"
A voice emerged from within the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, filled with a sense of lament; it was none other than the Treasure Guardian Beast.
Although the Treasure Guardian Beast was cultivated from an imperial seal made of Ancient Jade, it possessed intelligence and could communicate with humans.
Earlier, during Lu Chen's confrontation with the Bone-less Sorcerer, there were not only battles of strength but also various schemes and plots that filled it with disgust while simultaneously leaving it deeply astonished.
The schemes of deceit and treachery are fraught with danger; a moment's carelessness could lead to falling into the enemy's hands, resulting in death and eternal damnation, with no hope of ever rising again.
Lu Chen smiled coldly. Now, both the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron and the Treasure Guardian Beast were under his control, making him the ultimate victor.
To conserve energy, Lu Chen used the Jun Bell to absorb the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron. The interior of the Jun Bell was vast, allowing it to wreak havoc inside without concern.
The Jun Bell opened wide, and with a slight application of Spell, the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron flew inside, flitting about restlessly.
However, Lu Chen was not worried. He did not yet understand how to manipulate the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, which would require some time for research.
He casually cast a Rift Spell, opening an entrance to the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron and releasing the Treasure Guardian Beast.
As soon as the Treasure Guardian Beast emerged from the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, it looked up and found itself in complete darkness, with only a faint light shining through a hole. Clearly, it had fallen into another pit and was still imprisoned.
The Treasure Guardian Beast's eyes widened in surprise and disappointment; regardless of the circumstances, it was still captive—only the captor had changed.
In the distance, a fireball flew toward it, about the size of a fist, heading straight for the Treasure Guardian Beast.
The Treasure Guardian Beast opened its mouth and swallowed the fireball whole. This fireball was its Divine Beast Inner Dan, containing the most potent essence of blood and fire in existence.
The Divine Beast Inner Dan possessed intelligence and communicated with the Treasure Guardian Beast's Intentions, creating a close bond between them. Thus, as soon as the Treasure Guardian Beast appeared in the Jun Bell's chamber, its inner dan sensed it and immediately flew over to be consumed by the Treasure Guardian Beast.
Just then, as the Treasure Guardian Beast was feeling downcast, its surroundings suddenly brightened up; dazzling sunlight made it difficult for it to open its eyes.
"What is happening?" The Treasure Guardian Beast was astonished at being transported from one place to another.
It found itself in an environment of vast blue seas and fresh air—a perfectly normal world.
"Human, what are you trying to do? Let me go," the Treasure Guardian Beast asked.
Lu Chen smiled lightly, placing his hands behind his back as he took a few steps on the beach. "Yes, you can leave. I have no intention of imprisoning you, nor have I ever thought of using you as a tool. Your pursuit of peace and freedom, your dedication to the path, is exactly the life I envy. However, given the current turbulent situation and the impending chaos, I cannot remain uninvolved. This is a very chaotic game, just as you despise—everyone is deceitful and filled with betrayal and deception."
With a sigh, Lu Chen took a couple more steps, his tone contemplative as he looked into the distance. "And you are not suited for such a world. You should go; this continent is not where you belong. You should seek a place in the Cosmic Starry Sky to cultivate in peace. It is vast and quiet, the most suitable place for you."
Lu Chen's implication was clear: he intended to let the Treasure Guardian Beast go, wiping everything clean. Upon hearing this, the Treasure Guardian Beast was utterly astonished and found it hard to believe.
Lu Chen suggested that it seek a quiet place in the vast Cosmic Starry Sky to cultivate and comprehend The Path of Yin Immortals.
"Human, you let me go so easily; I can't believe your intentions are genuine or that you have no ulterior motives. Are you trying to gain something from me?"
The Treasure Guardian Beast did not appreciate Lu Chen's words and felt that he was deceiving it, leaving it in doubt.
Lu Chen smiled lightly without defending himself. "Haha, whether you believe it or not doesn't matter; you've never trusted me anyway and always thought I was lying to you. I have important matters to attend to now, so I won't concern myself with you any longer. There are many people outside waiting to capture you; you'll have to handle that yourself."
With that, Lu Chen began to walk away step by step, showing no intention of turning back.
The Treasure Guardian Beast stared with wide eyes as Lu Chen left without looking back, utterly astonished and speechless.
Then, the Treasure Guardian Beast sprang into the air with a powerful leap, moving its limbs freely as it ran in circles.
The thought of Lu Chen's words—that there were many people outside waiting to capture it—frightened it greatly.
No longer lingering, the Treasure Guardian Beast moved swiftly, casting one last glance at the increasingly distant Lu Chen before its massive form vanished into the clouds.
Lu Chen walked quite a distance before stopping and turning back to look at where the Treasure Guardian Beast had disappeared. The space was empty; it seemed that it had indeed left.
With a faint smile, Lu Chen felt quite satisfied at this moment, not feeling any guilt for killing the Bone-less Sorcerer.
He had released the Treasure Guardian Beast, doing a good deed. In the Five Element Sect, this would be considered a merit. For Lu Chen, this act contributed to his state of mind and would provide him with indescribable benefits in future breakthroughs.
Then, Lu Chen took a few quick steps, leaped high into the air, and transformed into the Thunderous Python, soaring into the sky towards the outside world.
Meanwhile, Princess Zhulan and her group, along with the remaining five Camel Drivers and over ten White Dragon Camels, were hastily traveling across the Gobi Desert.
The roads in the Gobi Desert were always difficult to traverse, with hard stones covering the ground and uneven terrain that made it quite challenging.
After walking for quite some time, Princess Zhulan frequently pulled out a sheepskin map to consult with core members like Tu Youdong and Old Mu to correct their direction.
The Three Hottest Days were about to end soon; however, the situation was different now as they were returning along the same route. There was no need to find new paths or worry about going in the wrong direction; as long as they kept a general sense of direction, there would be no issues.
This made their progress much faster. Additionally, Princess Zhulan instructed them to discard all excess supplies and keep only what was necessary. Since they wouldn't need much anyway, it didn't matter if they left some behind; as long as they could make it out of the Gobi Desert and into the open desert, it would be considered half a success.
The group hurried along and finally emerged from the Gobi Desert ahead of schedule, entering the desert.
The climate in the desert remained as harsh as before, with blinding sunlight during the day and howling cold winds at night that could freeze a person to death. The temperature difference between day and night was unimaginable.
Such hardships were unbearable for most people; even Qi Masters found it difficult to cope. Those who could endure this journey were all individuals of great willpower.
Once they entered the desert, their pace quickened significantly compared to when they first arrived. They could cover three to four hundred miles without stopping except for necessary rest at night.
After about ten days, only four or five hundred miles remained from the desert to Tebalzuo Town on the grassland; if they hurried, they could reach it soon.
During these ten days, Princess Zhulan and her companions had endured many hardships, encountering two Desert Storms along the way and frequent attacks from hungry wolves.
Fortunately, there was a tight defense, and neither the personnel nor the Camel suffered any deaths or losses, which can be considered a narrow escape.
Additionally, the rations were completely consumed, with nothing left. In the Gobi Desert, to lighten the load, a large amount of supplies was discarded, and only the current rations were accounted for.
Overall, it was just about right; the distance to Tebalzuo Town was only four hundred miles, which could be covered in no time.
Late at night, the group set up camp on a hillside. The Camel Driver was unloading supplies and setting up tents while twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors patrolled the perimeter.
The exhausting day was coming to an end. Princess Zhulan and others were inside the tent warming themselves by the fire and discussing various matters.
As they got closer to the grasslands, success seemed imminent; however, everyone's mood grew increasingly tense and restless.
This situation led to a rather poor atmosphere within the entire team, with an undercurrent of unease lingering in the air.
Sure enough, not long after, angry shouts came from outside the tent. Without guessing, it was clear that something had gone wrong.
The voices belonged to the twelve Bear Demon Death Warriors.
