Eight Ancient Continent, Ice and Fire Union
It was afternoon, and the Union Conference was running normally. On the other side, Zhu He was in charge of the Union Conference. There was no problem.
At this moment, Liu Yi was sitting in her office, dealing with her work. She had been sitting alone in this position for almost a month. She had gradually matured. She didn't panic when she had to make decisions on her own. At least, she didn't embarrass her sister, Liu Yi.
However, at this moment, a Teleportation Formation suddenly lit up in the room. Liu Lan immediately raised her head to look. Only one person could come out of the blue Teleportation Formation.
That's right. It was Lu An.
Liu Lan was happy. Lu An had just come back two days ago. She didn't expect him to come back so soon. She immediately stood up to greet him. However, she was so happy that she noticed that Lu An didn't look well.
It wasn't that he didn't look well. He even looked a little serious.
Lu An rarely showed his emotions on his face. However, at this moment, his face didn't look good. Especially the aura emitted from his body. Even Liu Lan could feel how weak and unstable he was.
"Husband," Liu Lan was worried. She hurried to ask, "What happened?"
"Nothing," Lu An lifted his head to look at Liu Lan. He smiled and said, "I'm going to see Yao."
Then, Lu An's figure disappeared from the room. In the next instant, he appeared in his private pavilion.
Lu An directly appeared outside Yao's room.
As soon as Lu An's aura appeared, it naturally woke up Yao, who was cultivating in her room. She immediately opened her beautiful eyes and withdrew from her cultivation. She got up and flew to the front of the door and opened it.
Lu An was standing at the door. When Yao saw Lu An's appearance and felt Lu An's aura, her heart tightened and her face turned as pale as paper.
She wasn't Liu Lan. She could clearly feel the fluctuation of Lu An's aura. Lu An's aura was chaotic. Moreover, his body was filled with a large amount of immortal energy. It was obvious that he had taken an immortal pellet. If Lu An had taken an immortal pellet, it would be a fatal situation. Otherwise, with Lu An's character, he would never waste it!
Moreover, he looked at Lu An's face from afar. Even though Lu An had washed his face with water before he appeared, blood was not something that could be easily washed off. In particular, Lu An's blood had a powerful aura seeping out. Even if the blood couldn't be seen, Yao could still clearly see Lu An's appearance from before.
Blood flowed from all seven apertures. Even under the treatment of such a tremendous amount of immortal energy, all of his muscles and flesh still didn't completely recover. There were large amounts of crushing injuries.
"How did he get hurt like this?" Yao's face was completely drained of blood. She immediately released her divine energy and coordinated it with the divine pellet to treat Lu An's injuries. She asked, "Didn't you say that there aren't any eighth rank life forms in the fourth floor?"
"Don't worry, aren't I back?" Looking at his wife's anxious appearance, Lu An smiled lightly, but the serious expression on his face did not disappear. He said, "But … there are indeed powerful strange beasts on the fourth floor."
Hearing this, Yao's face turned even paler.
Lu An did not hide anything from Yao. He told her everything that happened in the underground world, including every single word that the giant beast said to him. When Yao heard these words, she was completely dumbfounded.
Just like Lu An, she didn't understand a single thing.
According to this strange beast, it was very obvious that it had once established a connection with Sengoku, and it was even a special connection. From the analysis of this strange beast's words, it was very likely that Sengoku was the host that allowed them to head to the underground world.
"Have the Divine Master and Divine Empress come out of seclusion?" Lu An looked at Yao and asked.
"Not when I returned four days ago." Yao shook her head lightly and said.
Hearing this, Lu An frowned slightly. After pondering for a while, he still said, "Let's make a trip back to Sengoku."
"Alright." Yao agreed and said, "But husband, it's best to let your injuries heal a little before you go. Otherwise, if you go in this state, I'm afraid that people will gossip, not to mention that there are people from the Hachiko clan."
Lu An nodded. He knew that his current state was too weak, and it was very easy for people to make wild guesses. His actions couldn't be done casually. He had to consider all aspects.
With Yao's help and the powerful energy of the immortal pill, Lu An's body recovered in less than fifteen minutes. After Yao helped Lu An get rid of the hidden bloodstains on his body and let Lu An return to his clean and tidy state, she opened the Celestial World Gate and left the Ice and Fire Union.

Eight Ancient Continents, Sengoku.
The Celestial World Gate opened at the edge of Sengoku, where it was specially used for teleportation. Following that, two figures walked out. It was Lu An And Yao. The two people from the Hachiko clan who were guarding here looked at Lu An And Yao, but didn't speak to their close friend.
Lu An And Yao didn't speak either. He immediately set off for the Divine Master's courtyard. However, when Lu An And Yao arrived and spread out his perception, he found that the entire courtyard was still empty.
Just like before, the Divine Master and Divine Empress weren't in the courtyard at all. This meant that the two were still cultivating.
This time, the cultivation really took a long time.
Half a year had passed since the beginning, but it still hadn't ended. The entire Sengoku's affairs were temporarily handed over to Sheng Daiwei to manage until the two came out of seclusion.
However, even if Sheng Daiwei was in charge, his identity wasn't the Divine Master. Lu An was never a hothead. The giant beast had specifically asked him to pass the message to the Divine Master. Lu An hoped that he could pass the message to the real Divine Master.
"Father and Mother haven't come out of seclusion yet." Yao looked at Lu An. The reality was no different from what she had guessed. She asked gently, "What should we do?"
Lu An didn't answer immediately. Instead, he frowned and pondered. After a few breaths, he suddenly thought of something. He immediately turned to look at Yao and asked, "Where are Father and Mother in seclusion?"
Yao was obviously startled. Although she didn't know why her husband asked this, she still answered gently, "They're in Sengoku."
"Where's Sengoku?" Lu An asked again.
Yao's gaze became even more blank. However, she still said, "There's a courtyard in the depths of the bamboo forest on the north side. Father and Mother have always been in seclusion there."
At this point, Yao realized something and hurriedly said, "The bamboo forest on the north side is a forbidden area. Apart from the Divine Master and the Divine Empress, no one can go there. Whether it's me, my brother, or even Sheng Daiwei, no one can take a step into the bamboo forest. Moreover, I heard that there's a special immortal art around the courtyard. Even if you enter the bamboo forest, you can't force your way into the courtyard. Everything is done to avoid disturbing the Divine Master's seclusion. "
Lu An's heart tightened. Looking at Yao's anxious expression, he said softly, "Don't worry. Naturally, I won't disturb Father and Mother's cultivation, let alone break into the bamboo forest. I was just curious, so I asked casually. "
Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her husband's words. She knew that her husband wasn't a reckless person. However, those who broke into the bamboo forest would be severely punished. Basically, they would be executed immediately. Even those who weren't executed would be locked up in the Heavenly Ghost Region for punishment.
After some hesitation, Lu An decided not to tell Sheng about this. He said to his wife, "Let's go."
"Okay." Yao nodded lightly.
Lu An raised his hand to open the Gate of the Divine World. However, just as the Gate of the Divine World appeared, before the two of them could enter, a voice was suddenly heard from outside the courtyard.
"Little sister? You're back? "
As soon as this was said, the two of them immediately stopped their intention of leaving. They turned around to look at the source of the voice. The person who said this was none other than the eldest prince of Sengoku, the eldest son of the Divine Master and Divine Empress, Chen.
Chen stood outside the fence with a smile on his face. He walked along the fence until he reached the door.
Seeing Chen, Yao's heart tightened.
Actually, she liked her two elder brothers very much. Since she was young, her two elder brothers had doted on her a lot. They played with her when she was young, even more so than her parents. After she grew up, her two elder brothers became very powerful. They had to go out to carry out missions for a long time, resulting in less time to see each other. Even so, Yao still respected her two elder brothers very much.
However, ever since Lu An told her to be careful of Chen, her feelings towards him changed. If she had to choose between Lu An and Chen, Yao believed that she would choose Lu An without hesitation. It was also because of this that she was wary of Chen now. This conflict with her original feelings made her feel conflicted and unnatural.
However, Lu An naturally would not.
After Chen entered the courtyard, he quickly arrived in front of the two of them. At this moment, Lu An had already closed the Gate of the Divine World. Looking at Chen who stopped in front of him, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chen."
"Brother-in-law is here too. It's been a long time," Chen said with a smile. "I heard from little sister that you've been very busy with your cultivation. Why are you suddenly here today?"
"Nothing much," Lu An smiled and said, "I haven't greeted father and mother for a long time. I just wanted to come and take a look."
"Oh?" Chen said with a smile, "Father and mother have been in seclusion. Brother-in-law, you should wait for little sister to come out of seclusion before coming. Why are you here now?"
"…"
Lu An's smile did not change as he said, "It's more sincere to come and take a look myself."
"Haha! I see! " Chen laughed and said, "Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave. You should take a break from your daily cultivation. Ever since you and little sister got married, we haven't had a good chat. Why don't you sit with me for a while and drink some wine and chat? Sengoku's wine is completely different from the wine outside! "
Hearing Chen's words, Yao was at a loss as she turned to look at her husband beside her. Lu An, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. After pondering for two breaths, he said, "Alright, then I'll rest for a while and have a few drinks with Brother Chen."
