In the Royal City, Lu An's figure rapidly advanced through the alleys.
Even though Lu An had slowed down his speed enough, it only took him two breaths of time to reach the Royal Palace. Arriving here, Lu An fully mobilized the strength in his body, even preparing to open the Demon Gods Realm at any time to face any possible crisis.
Since he had promised his family that he would return alive, he could not go back on his word. There was another important reason why Lu An dared to come here. Outside the Royal Palace, there was only the aura of a Rank Seven Mystical Beast. According to common sense, there should be an Rank Eight Mystical Beast inside the Royal Palace, not a Rank Nine Mystical Beast. Otherwise, there would be an Rank Eight Mystical Beast outside the Royal Palace.
With Lu An's current strength, it was extremely difficult for a Rank Eight Mystical Beast to detect his existence. Lu An directly sneaked into the Royal Palace. His perception spread out slightly, but his eyes narrowed!
There were people?!
There were still people alive!
Lu An could clearly sense that these people were definitely humans. The aura they exuded was that of living people, not dead people. And from their bearing, they were definitely humans. All the maids and attendants in the Royal Palace were still alive!
How could this be?
Lu An's eyes narrowed. There were so many Mystical Beasts wreaking havoc outside the Royal City, and there were also many Mystical Beasts inside and outside the Royal Palace. How could they not attack the humans in the Royal Palace?
Now that he was inside the Royal Palace, Lu An thought for a moment and felt that he should be more careful, even if the chances of there being a Rank Nine Mystical Beast were pitifully low. He took a step forward, but as if he had walked through an invisible door, he disappeared into thin air.
That's right, Lu An had entered the self-created second layer space. In the second layer space, Lu An could still use his spatial perception to perceive the situation in the real world. Although the range was not very large, it was enough for the Royal Palace. Moreover, the greatest advantage of spatial perception was that it was extremely difficult to detect. Unlike normal perception, which required a large amount of Divine Sense and strength to be released, only a little bit of Divine Sense and Space Force was enough.
Lu An's perception was correct. The people in the Royal Palace were indeed still alive. Other than the maids and attendants, the chefs and musicians were still alive. At this moment, the musicians were performing on a high platform outside a palace. Four 'people' were sitting on the many chairs at the entrance of the palace.
Four 'people' with strange shapes that were obviously different from normal humans.
That's right, they were not real humans, but illusions. Moreover, from the appearance of these four people, it was obvious that they were not land mystical beasts, but marine mystical beasts.
The four Mystical Beasts pretended to be humans as they sat on the chairs, admiring the real humans singing and dancing for them. This was actually a common phenomenon that occurred after the Mystical Beasts conquered the continent. This was especially true for deep-sea monsters. They wouldn't feel comfortable entering the continent. They were more curious about everything about the human world. Therefore, deep-sea monsters were the ones who did most of these things. They tried to read ancient books and poems, learn human musical instruments, and play with human inventions.
Although the intelligence of a Rank 6 Mystical Beast was already the same as that of an ordinary human, the problem was that the number of Rank 6 Mystical Beasts and above was too small. With such a large number of humans, the civilization created was far from what these Mystical Beasts could compare to or even imagine. Human civilization was really too tempting for the Mystical Beasts. They were very obsessed with it.
They even got many civil officials to teach them how to read. Although some of them were literate, being literate didn't mean they could understand ancient books. This gave these bored Mystical Beasts a lot of things to do. It also allowed many humans to survive. Of course, it was only in a captive state.
These Mystical Beasts had already been here for a month. They occupied the palace and even drove away other Mystical Beasts. The women performing on the high platform went from being very timid at the beginning to being very numb. They didn't think about anything and performed like puppets. Even the king and ministers were dead. At least they were still alive. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
In the second space, Lu An sensed this scene and frowned. Now he was very sure that there were no Rank 9 Mystical Beasts here, but he was thinking about whether or not to kill these Mystical Beasts. Because if he killed them, these maids and attendants might not be able to survive. They might live a little longer here.
However … after thinking about it for a few breaths, Lu An still made his move.
Whoosh!
Lu An's figure appeared out of thin air and directly appeared behind the Four Mystical Beasts. The Four Mystical Beasts naturally sensed it, but they were completely stunned. They were listening to songs and reading books at the same time and didn't react at all. Their minds were still immersed in human civilization.
Then … the flames directly poured into the heads of the three Mystical Beasts like sharp blades. Immediately, with a boom, the heads of the three Mystical Beasts exploded. The flames quickly engulfed the three Mystical Beasts!
Three Rank 8 Mystical Beasts died on the spot!
Lu An didn't kill them all. He left one alive. But he still made his move. His left hand released flames and his right hand released ice. In an instant, he used Deep Ice to freeze this Mystical Beast. Even a Rank 8 Mystical Beast couldn't break free from his Deep Ice. Coupled with the influence of the cold air, this Mystical Beast couldn't resist at all.
The sudden change scared all the women on the high platform so much that they turned pale and screamed. They hurriedly gathered together and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
The reason why Lu An killed these Mystical Beasts was simple. These Mystical Beasts would eventually get bored of new things. After they got bored, these people still had to die.
Lu An directly used his energy to cover the entire palace so that the people outside couldn't sense the situation inside. At the same time, he used his energy to gather all the survivors. There were around eighty people, which wasn't a small number.
Lu An opened a Teleport Formation and said to these people, "I'm a human, not a Mystical Beast. I've found a place for you to hide. You should hide well. Don't let anyone find you. "
Hearing him, these people's eyes lit up. They knelt down to thank Lu An and hurried to enter the Teleport Formation. Lu An had indeed dug a big hole in the mountain. After leaving the tools and seeds, these people could survive even if they didn't leave the mountain.
After sending them away, Lu An opened the Teleport Formation and left with the frozen Mystical Beasts.

Eight Ancient Continents, Endless Desert.
A Teleport Formation opened, and Lu An walked out of it. Of course, he brought a big block of ice with him. That's right. He had returned to the place where he came from. What he needed to do was simple. He needed to interrogate this Mystical Beast.
This Mystical Beast must know more than him, especially about the Endless Desert. When he opened the Deep Ice, he saw that the Mystical Beast's body had turned purple. The terrifying cold energy had seeped into its body, freezing a lot of its blood and Qi. Even its internal organs were frozen. Its life was in danger. If Lu An had come a little later, it would have died.
After the ice disappeared, the Mystical Beast couldn't recover in a short time. Its entire body was stiff, lying motionless on the ground. Even its eyes seemed to be frozen.
Looking at the Mystical Beast breathing out cold energy, Lu An raised his hand. Immediately, a part of the cold energy gushed out of the Mystical Beast's body. Instantly, the Mystical Beast took in a deep breath. It looked like it was about to die. Finally, it came back to life. However, it still couldn't move. It only regained a little bit of consciousness. Finally, it could move its eyes to look at Lu An.
"Whatever I ask, you'll answer." Lu An stood up, looking down at the Mystical Beast. He calmly said, "Otherwise, I'll make you into a dish."
"… …"
If it was said that these deep sea Mystical Beasts didn't have any concept of 'dish', but in this month, they clearly understood the meaning of 'dish'. If they were made into a dish — that would be worse than death.
"First question." Lu An said, "Are there any rank 9 Mystical Beasts around the Endless Desert?"
The Mystical Beast stared at Lu An with its eyes wide open, trying to move its mouth. Finally, it slowly said, "No … … there is … …"
Lu An frowned slightly. Indeed, although there were many countries and people around the Endless Desert, but in reality, there weren't any outstanding resources. A rank 9 Mystical Beast shouldn't be interested in this place.
"Second question." Lu An said again, "Are there any powerful races around here?"
The Mystical Beast took in a deep breath, before it continued to speak. "There is … …"
Lu An's eyes trembled slightly, asking, "What race?"
"Flaming Lion race … …" The Mystical Beast said forcefully, "And … … Sun Flame race … …"
