Qinglian was naturally unwilling to let her master take risks for her; she didn't need to rely on any Dao-Merging Flower.

Hearing Qinglian's words, Lu Chuan was clearly not surprised at all, as he had already anticipated that Qinglian would do so.

"The Dao-Merging Flower was just a side thing. I naturally believe that you will soon break through to the Dao-Merging realm. I need something for you." Lu Chuan replied.

Before Qinglian could speak again, Lu Chuan continued in an irrefutable tone, "Alright, it's settled then! Listen to your master."

Qinglian: "..."

She knew very well that her master was saying this on purpose. Although the Heavenly Spring Forbidden Zone was dangerous, it was only the last of the eighteen forbidden zones. The things inside were useless to her master, who was already at the Great Dao Realm. Her master was only going there for the Dao-Merging Flower.

Qinglian didn't try to persuade her further; once her master had made a decision, her words were useless.

soon,

Lu Chuan and Qing Lian have arrived outside the Tianquan Forbidden Zone. Outside the zone, there are heavy troops guarding it, and powerful experts are hidden in the shadows to prevent the alien races inside from coming out. Even so, some will inevitably slip through the net.

As Lu Chuan and Qing Lian approached, they were stopped by a general clad in silver armor and helmet.

"Forbidden Zone! Stop! Are you two aware of the dangers of the Forbidden Zone?" the white-armored general asked.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "Of course I know, it's alright, I'll just go get something and come right back."

"I advise you not to go in. If you are in danger in the restricted area, we will not help you," said the white-armored general.

Lu Chuan insisted on going in, and the white-armored general did not stop him anymore.

They guarded the restricted area to prevent the alien race from escaping. If anyone tried to enter, they would try to dissuade them, but if they didn't listen, they wouldn't interfere.

"Good advice is useless against a damned ghost!" said the white-armored general.

Having guarded the area for many years, countless people have tried to enter the restricted area, but most have died inside. In his opinion, Lu Chuan and Qing Lian are unlikely to come out either.
