Jiang Wuyuan controlled the gap to keep up with Sethmond's pace.
There's a reason why space and time are considered two of the most unique forces.
Just like now, even if others' cultivation levels are much higher than his, as long as Jiang Wuyuan is willing to hide, no one can discover his existence.
It just consumes a lot of qi and blood.
However, it's not a big problem; he still has the Qiankun Technique to barely keep going.
Sethmond, being on his own turf, certainly wouldn't have imagined that someone could create space to follow him. Even while maintaining royal elegance, he still strode swiftly to Lina's lounge in the command center.
That was a place he had specially prepared for Lina.
Not only is there a small array for cultivation, but there are also many blood crystals to supply, creating an excellent cultivation environment for people. He personally arranged it.
—He was afraid that his father would think he was mistreating Lina and then wouldn't let Lina come to play with him.
As they approached the room, the maid opened the door and gestured for Sethmond to enter.
Before Sethmond could even step through the door, he was caught red-handed by Lina, who was waiting for him behind the door.
Jiang Wuyuan concealed himself in the gap, then passed through the wall and entered the room.
"Brother Seth! You're finally here!" Lina said anxiously. "Come in quickly, I have something to tell you."
"Alright, alright." Sethmond patted Lina's head. "Don't rush, let's go inside and talk slowly."
Inside the room, spiritual energy filled the air, and the spirit-gathering array was still operating, but no one paid any attention.
Lina nervously pinched the hem of her skirt, then quickly explained what she had done: "...That's it, Seth."
"I...I only wanted to kill that student, I didn't intend to harm the Dragon Kingdom's army. Now the Dragon Kingdom has discovered it, what should I do..."
Sethmond listened to the whole thing in almost disbelief.
He fell silent for a moment.
His genuine affection for Lina prevented him from pointing fingers at her and calling her actions foolish.
However, this plan was indeed extremely clumsy.
The Dragon Kingdom is an existence that the Heistan Empire would never dare to provoke. If the people of the Dragon Kingdom knew that this matter was orchestrated by Lina, then the King would probably have no choice but to compromise.
After all, it was indeed Lina who made the mistake first.
When competing for supplies in the wild, no one can accuse anyone of being right or wrong; everyone is simply relying on their own abilities.
It's not wrong to hold a grudge and want to kill someone to silence them if you can't get what you want.
The mistake was using the wrong method and scheming against someone you couldn't afford to offend.
Sethmond, whose mind had been influenced by William for so long, finally got to work. He definitely wanted to protect Lina, and the only way to do so was—
Let Bastian take the blame himself.
"Nana, don't panic." Sethmond touched the delicate little princess whose eyes were red from crying because of nervousness, and sighed, "I have a plan."
"What method?!"
Sethmond's eyes flashed: "Let Bastian say that he did it all himself."
"But he was also used by me..."
Before Lina could finish speaking, Sethmond interrupted her: "Nana, if we don't exchange his life for yours, it will be very difficult for my father and me to save you from the Dragon Kingdom."
Lina fell silent.
Of course she didn't want to die.
And now she knows that even with the protection of her father and brothers, she cannot do whatever she wants in this world.
It just seems a bit late.
Jiang Wuyuan looked at the delicate woman with a bitter expression through the space, his gaze unchanged.
"Stay here and don't be afraid."
"General Cheng from the Dragon Kingdom hasn't left yet; I need to go back and tell her about Bastian's punishment." Sethmond sighed slightly. "If possible, I will try my best to save his life."
Although the possibility is very small, it is, after all, a matter of principle and great importance, such as falsely transmitting military secrets.
Lina nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Seth."
After Sethmond left, Lina remained sitting blankly in the chair.
After a while, Jiang Wuyuan no longer hesitated, approached, and swung his sword.
invisible!
Sword Drawing Technique!
With a flash of sword light, the defensive item Lina wore around her neck shattered.
Jiang Wuyuan deliberately controlled his attack range, so he did not damage anything else in the room.
It was also something he had expected that Lina would be carrying valuable items.
After all, he absolutely did not believe that such a pampered princess would not have a few life-saving items on her.
"Who!" Lina, protected by the prop, turned around instantly, and a staff appeared in her hand.
The next second, her eyes widened: "Nobody's here?!"
Jiang Wuyuan, who had concealed his body invisibly, had no intention of paying attention to Lina's question. Taking advantage of the moment when she was stunned, he swung his long sword again.
He held nothing back this time.
War Cry!
Wind, Splendor!
The golden phantom of the deity stood tall and dazzling.
However, only Jiang Wuyuan could see the attack.
Lina felt a chill run through her hands and feet. She instinctively waved her staff, conjuring a cyan light shield in front of her.
Unfortunately, she misjudged Jiang Wuyuan's strength and lacked sufficient combat experience and talent.
The light shield shattered in the blink of an eye, and an invisible sword light grazed the delicate little princess's fragile neck, leaving only a clearly visible bloodstain.
"Heh...heh..." Lina tried to raise her hand to cover her neck, her eyes filled with surprise and despair, as if she wanted to say something.
