The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1605 - 1603: The Princess’s Threat

Even so, along the way, Ling Feng and his group indeed encountered no attacks, to the point where Ling Feng wondered if the Great General was being a bit paranoid.

The Abyssal Battlefield is within the territory of Fancheng on the Northern Continent. When Ling Feng entered Fancheng, he immediately felt the atmosphere become extremely heavy as if even the air carried a hint of tension.

"Fancheng is a buffer zone between the Abyssal Court and other different races, where battles often erupt!" Nameless explained to Ling Feng, "The chances of encountering danger and attacks here are much higher than before!"

Ling Feng asked, "Could it be that no one would dare to attack such a magnificent lineup?"

Nameless gave a wry smile, "Although our strength is not weak, don’t forget, we are the Great General’s squad. Many different races would love to tear the Great General to pieces, so they will definitely not miss this opportunity. Wait and see, there is bound to be an intense battle awaiting us!"

Ling Feng’s heart tightened, and he hadn’t thought about this. The Great General’s role in the Abyssal Battlefield was indisputable. If those from the different races knew of the Great General’s whereabouts, how could they possibly pass up this excellent opportunity to ambush?

That is to say, within the territory of Fancheng, they will undoubtedly face an ambush.

"Then why hasn’t any army from the Royal Court come to greet us?" Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask.

Nameless glanced around, then chuckled softly, whispering in Ling Feng’s ear, "If the Royal Court’s army were coming to greet us, how could they lure out those malicious different race spies?"

What the hell! Ling Feng was shocked. Situ Xing was using his life as bait to lure those lurking spies from the different races within Fancheng to ambush him. Such courage, Ling Feng couldn’t help but admire.

At the same time, Ling Feng also understood why, earlier, the Great General specifically reminded him. It turned out he had planned this all along. What concerned Ling Feng, however, was whether he could truly protect the Princess when those capable of ambushing the Great General would likely be Pinnacle Masters of the Azure Sky Realm, equal to the Great General.

Ling Feng had witnessed the combat power of a Pinnacle Master of the Azure Sky Realm before, which was earth-shattering. Just the aftershocks of a battle were not something Ling Feng could withstand at present!

Ling Feng posed this question, to which Nameless laughed, "The enemy definitely wouldn’t deploy a master on the same level as the Great General. With the General’s strength, even an ordinary Azure Sky Realm master wouldn’t be his match. In the entire different races, there is almost no one who can match the General’s strength!"

After a pause, Nameless continued, "Their ambush is more likely to involve using a formation to strangle him, as it’s their only tactic! Or perhaps trap the General while launching a frontal assault on the battlefield?"

Nameless shrugged, "All this depends on what those from the different races decide to do, but I believe it’s impossible to avoid battle. Ling Feng, your task is to protect your wife!"

Seeing the teasing look in Nameless’s eyes, Ling Feng rolled his eyes. "You’re making fun of me too?"

...

To reach the Abyssal Battlefield, one has to pass through the Great Canyon of Fancheng.

Standing at the edge of Fancheng Grand Canyon, the Great General’s face showed a grave expression. "This is their last place to ambush us. If we pass through here, they won’t have another chance. I hope they don’t disappoint me!"

"Order to advance!" the Great General said in a deep voice.

Along the way, Princess Yunxuan felt extremely displeased. She didn’t think it was like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot; she blamed everything on Ling Feng.

If it weren’t for Ling Feng, how could she have been "exiled" here by her father? Looking around at the gray, oppressive atmosphere, Princess Yunxuan’s mood soured along with it.

"Hey, Ling Feng!" Finally, Princess Yunxuan found Ling Feng and said with a displeased face, "Don’t you feel sorry for me?"

Ling Feng was a bit puzzled, "Princess, what’s wrong?"

Princess Yunxuan huffed, "If it weren’t for you, how would I end up at the Abyssal Battlefield?"

Ling Feng was amused and exasperated, "Well... Princess, isn’t this something I’m unable to decide? Even if you put all the blame on me, it won’t change the facts!"

Princess Yunxuan snorted coldly, "How can’t the facts be changed? I have a way to make you compensate me for my loss. It depends on what you do!"

Ling Feng smiled, "Whatever the Princess wants to say, just say it!"

Princess Yunxuan whispered, "I’ve decided to take this opportunity to leave the group, but I need you to cover for me. Otherwise, I’ll definitely be dragged back by Uncle Situ!"

Ling Feng looked at Princess Yunxuan with some surprise, "You want to escape?"

"What do you mean by ’escape’? I’m just taking this opportunity to see the great landscapes of the Abyss Realm!" Princess Yunxuan said, "Besides, I’ve been wanting to travel around for a while now. Father wouldn’t allow it before, but now I finally have the chance!"

Ling Feng frowned, "No, it’s too dangerous here, what if..."

"What if, what if, there are so many ’what ifs’!" Princess Yunxuan frowned and said, "Will you help me or not? I know that once we pass through this canyon, I won’t have another chance to run away. If you don’t help me, I’ll make you pay in the future!"

Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Princess, stop making a fuss. You should know that the closer we get to the Abyssal Battlefield, the more dangerous it becomes. What if you run into danger? Besides, if you really want to leave, you could directly ask General Situ, and have him dispatch someone to escort you away. Wouldn’t that be safer?"

Princess Yunxuan impatiently said, "I’m not some greenhouse flower; do you really think I came only because of the Emperor’s command? I just used this command to escape from the Imperial Capital!"

As she spoke, Princess Yunxuan whispered, "If you don’t cooperate with me, I might go to Uncle Situ and accuse you of assaulting me!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, falling back on this trick again. Doesn’t Princess Yunxuan realize that her status has changed?

Ling Feng said with a half-smile, "Alright then, Princess, go ahead and tell the Great General that I assaulted you. But don’t forget, we’re technically engaged right now. If I really did anything, I don’t think the General would do much, except possibly telling His Majesty. And I think... His Majesty is more likely to expedite our wedding, right?"

"What?" Princess Yunxuan was stupefied. She felt like the script was wrong. This tactic made Ling Feng quite apprehensive before; why wasn’t it working now?

But she forgot, before Ling Feng was just a candidate for the Imperial Son-in-law, while now Ling Feng was the one she had personally chosen as the Imperial Son-in-law. His status was different now, so naturally, the situation was different too.
