With a trace of confusion, Jun Bujian followed the other disciples and stepped into the Mountain and River State Painting.

However, he did not sense anything abnormal.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything in this Mountain and River State Painting, right?”

He tried to voice his doubts.

The corners of Yun Lige and the others’ mouths curled up.

“The interior of the Mountain and River State Painting is too big. Not all places here are the same as the outside. Let’s go to the training area.”

If Lu Xiaoran wanted to cover the entire Mountain and River State Painting with the Supreme Profound Dipper, the price would be too high.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran only set up a cultivation area. Only the time flow inside this area would be affected by the Supreme Profound Dipper.

When Jun Bujian arrived at the Mountain and River State Painting, his heart immediately raced.

As a Martial Monarch Realm expert, his perception was extraordinary. He naturally saw through everything in an instant.

The time rules inside had been changed. Circulating his cultivation technique once in here was equivalent to circulating it ten times outside.

“Senior Brothers and Sisters, this…”

“The time flow here has been modified by Master. You can get ten days of cultivation done in just one day’s time.”

“Heavens, Master can even change the power of time. How powerful is Master’s cultivation?”

“It’s actually hard for us to say. Ever since we became Master’s disciples, we’ve never seen Master suffer. According to our initial estimation, Master’s cultivation should at least be at the God Realm!”

Jun Bujian :”…”

At this moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

His master was a Martial God?

Damn!

He had wondered why his master’s combat strength was so high and why he could fight those at a higher level. It seemed that since his master was a God Realm expert, he must have cultivated a God Realm cultivation technique. That was why he could fight those at a higher level.

Moreover, only God Realm experts could understand how powerful those hot shots were.

Only God Realm experts could understand a cultivation technique like the Dragon God Art.

Moreover, only God Realm experts would have so many divine beast eggs and God Realm medicinal pills.

He understood!

This time, he had really come across a fortuitous encounter!

At this moment, even if the Jun Family sent that grand patriarch to bring him back, he would still not return.

With such a powerful master, even a single strand of his Master’s leg hair would still be a hundred times stronger than the Jun family.

This did not mean that he was an ingrate. He would not become enemies with the Jun family. However, from now on, he would only follow Lu Xiaoran.

Of course, if the Jun family had any enemies, he would still help.

Then, he immediately began to cultivate. He ate Martial Monarch Realm pills, divine pills, and divine beast eggs… In short, as long as it could increase his strength, he stuffed it all in.

As a Martial Monarch Realm expert, his body had long been tempered until it surpassed the mortal world. It was so powerful that it could resist the domineering strength of the medicinal pills and mercilessly wear down the strength of these medicinal pills.

Outside the Mountain and River State Painting, Lu Xiaoran kept issuing orders.

First, he got Black Tortoise and the other Martial Monarch Realm demon beasts to bring over all the high-level demon beasts in the Primordial Mountain Range.

They would also be a huge help in the battle.

Then, he ordered Ji Wushang to get the cultivators in the Great Zhou Imperial City to immediately retreat and leave the Imperial City.

As soon as the battle began, the other party would probably attack directly and head to the Great Zhou Imperial City.

With the strength of the Great Zhou Imperial City, they probably could not even resist for ten breaths.

It just so happened that after Lu Xiaoran controlled the demon beasts of the Primordial Mountain Range, he also controlled the territory of the Primordial Mountain Range.

Although the Primordial Mountain Range was located between the Great Zhou Empire and the Great Qin Empire, the Primordial Mountain Range was very long and a large portion of it was connected to other countries.

Lu Xiaoran set up teleportation formations in those places and then got Ji Wushang to set up teleportation formations in the Imperial City.

In this way, in less than a day, he could transfer the huge number of cultivators in the Great Zhou Empire to the areas of the Primordial Mountain Range that bordered the other countries.

After the battle ended, he could build a teleportation formation and let them teleport back.

This plan was rather perfect. Not only could it preserve the strength of the Great Zhou Empire, but it also did not delay the decisive battle with the Great Qin Empire.

After doing all of this, Lu Xiaoran immediately set up an array formation in the Great Zhou Empire and waited for the Su Chen’s army to arrive.

…

At the same time, in the southeast of the Great Zhou Empire.

Boom!

With a violent explosion, a huge hill was blasted into the sky.

A mushroom cloud rose, and countless birds and beasts in the surroundings flew around in fear. Some cultivators who were exploring the surroundings were also frightened and hurriedly ran.

Soon, an extremely sorry figure slowly crawled out of the shattered rocks on the hill.

He smashed the Saint Realm iron ingot in his hand that was specially made to dig tombs and threw it to the side.

“Are the big shots who lived in the Great Zhou 10,000 years ago all a bunch of idiots? All of them set up such good array formations in their tombs, but in the end, there’s nothing at all!”

Han Zhen had never liked to voice his thoughts out loud because he was afraid that the surrounding people would hear him.

However, this time, he really could not help it.

Damn, did these idiots spend all their wealth on array formations?

Ever since he escaped from Jun Bujian and the others yesterday, he had almost never stopped. He had been using his treasures to find the ancient tomb.

Among them were 120 King Realm tombs, 73 Emperor Realm tombs, 26 Supreme Realm tombs, and 7 Saint Realm tombs.

However, he had only gathered 15 low-grade spirit stones!

15 low-grade spirit stones!

Who would dare to think of this?

Damn it!

This was not just poor. This was simply shameless!

It was ridiculous!

It was shameless!

It was too much!

The most hateful thing was that in order to deal with these array formations, he had spent a lot of effort and even consumed several Saint Realm pills.

Han Zhen had gritted his teeth and saved every cent he had. He was not like those rich second-generation heirs. They had the support of their families and could eat medicinal pills like candy.

Most importantly, it would be easier if he could dig out some spirit stones or equipment.

However, he had only obtained 15 low-grade spirit stones.

He, Han Zhen, had never made such a loss in his life.

No, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He could not take it anymore. Han Zhen felt that his intelligence had been insulted, and he could not stand this.

He could not bear it!

A cold glint flashed in Han Zhen’s eyes.

He wanted to be rash.

This was the first time in his life that he had such thoughts.

In the past, no matter what, he had always been cowardly.

However, today, he did not want to endure it. He wanted to do what a man should do!

He wanted to go to the Great Zhou Imperial City and snatch a sum of spirit stones.

He had no choice. He was really furious.

As the saying went, a leopard never changes its spots.

However, when one was angered to the extreme, it was possible for them to really change their character.

After taking a deep breath, Han Zhen emboldened himself and flew towards the Great Zhou Imperial City with a firm gaze.

In the deep night, the entire Great Zhou Imperial City was in darkness.

Han Zhen could not help but frown slightly.

Did the Great Zhou Imperial City not even have any places with lights at night?

This was the Imperial City.

In the Imperial City, cultivators were counted in billions. Among so many people, even if only a tenth of them did not sleep, the number would still be terrifying.

The lights would spread throughout the entire city like stars in the sky.

However, today, this place was actually pitch-black.

Could it be that the Great Zhou Imperial City was also very poor?

Below the Great Zhou Imperial City, Lu Xiaoran had just set up the array formation when he suddenly could not help but look up at the sky.

Strange, why was there a Martial Monarch Realm expert in the sky?

Moreover, this aura seemed to be very unfamiliar? It had never appeared before!

Was it a spy from the Hall of Gods?

Or… Han Zhen?

If the other party was a spy from the Hall of Gods, he definitely could not let the other party off. Otherwise, if the other party returned and told Su Chen about this, wouldn’t it be a waste to set up so many array formations here? Although it wouldn’t cause Lu Xiaoran any trouble, he still didn’t want to waste the formations.

If it was Han Zhen… that guy was a cowardly and ignoble guy. In fact, he and Lu Xiaoran were so similar that he could even be Lu Xiaoran’s sworn brother.

If Lu Xiaoran wanted to kill the other party, he probably wouldn’t succeed.

If the other party escaped, it would also be very dangerous and he would easily alert the enemy.

Lu Xiaoran knew that this guy had a God Realm movement technique and definitely had many other killing moves.

If Han Zhen wanted to escape, he might not be able to catch him.

Of course, Lu Xiaoran also had a way to prevent him from escaping.

He could activate all the array formations here. In this way, even if the other party used a God Realm cultivation technique, he would not be able to escape. At the very least, he would not be able to escape for a second or two.

And one or two seconds was enough for him to cause a lot of damage.

Han Zhen probably would not be able to handle this damage.

However, in that case, his array formation would not be able to deal with the Hall of Gods.

At that time, it would really cause a huge loss.

Giving up the formations he needed to resolve another bigger problem just to deal with Han Zhen was clearly not very cost-effective.

However, just as Lu Xiaoran was thinking, three more Martial Monarch Realm auras suddenly attacked from afar.

Lu Xiaoran immediately narrowed his eyes.

Did this aura come from the Primordial Mountain Range? Did it come from the Great Qin Empire?

Han Zhen also sensed the other party’s aura immediately and moved to the Imperial City.

Three Martial Monarch Realm experts had actually arrived. Could they be the pursuers from the Jun family? Were they waiting for him here?

Wasn’t that unlikely?

How did they know that he was here?

At the same time, the air in the sky distorted as three Martial Monarch Realm experts stepped out of the void.

“Is this the Great Zhou Imperial City?”

“Hmph! Looking at this small place, it’s even inferior to a corner of the Great Qin Imperial City. You actually have the guts to resist the Hall of Gods. You’re really courting death.”

“Alright, stop talking for now. Go and punish the Great Zhou Imperial Family. Otherwise, the Hall Master will be displeased.”
