In the forest, darkness gradually descended.
The bright moon hung in the sky, and there were some dark clouds in the sky. Under the bright moon and stars, the forest seemed quiet and tranquil.
In the afternoon, the entire forest fell into an extremely unstable state. The great battle that covered the entire forest lasted for half an hour before it stopped.
In the depths of the forest, in a place that did not seem out of the ordinary, two people were hiding in a cave.
It was Lu An and Yao.
The two of them had been hiding underground ever since they escaped here in the afternoon. Yao was in the cave below, while Lu An had been at the entrance of the cave, carefully listening and sensing the situation outside the cave. However, to his disappointment, no one had passed by this place from beginning to end.
No one had come to the depths of the forest to look for him, which meant that the people of Sengoku had not destroyed the True God Religion, and had not even broken through the Strange Beast stage.
If that was the case, then there was no point in them staying here, and no rescue team would come. Therefore, when it was close to midnight, Lu An entered the cave and said softly to Yao, "Get ready, we're leaving."
"Okay." Yao was startled, but immediately nodded.
At this time, Yao had already rested enough. Other than not being able to use the Blessing Technique on herself, she was completely in peak condition. Lu An was the same. He carefully confirmed that there was no danger in the surrounding environment, and then climbed out of the cave with Yao.
"Caw … Caw …"
In the sky, there seemed to be crows flying. Lu An looked up at the sky and frowned slightly. He carefully moved forward in the forest with Yao.
Naturally, they had to hurry to the west and leave the forest. To get here, they had spent two hours riding on horseback, and some time on the road, plus Yao's rush of three incense sticks' time. Roughly estimating, even if they went all out, it would take at least four and a half hours to get to the outside.
In this forest, danger lurked everywhere, and they might step into the territory of the Strange Beast. Therefore, a journey of four and a half hours would be fraught with danger.
Lu An took a deep breath, and jumped onto a big tree with dense foliage with Yao. Using the leaves to cover their bodies, they quickly fled towards the west.

Outside the forest, in the imperial capital.
Everyone from Sengoku was gathered in a luxurious inn. Everyone was injured. Some of them were still in good condition, and their injuries were not serious. However, some of them were seriously injured, and some were even badly mutilated. They were lying on the bed, receiving treatment.
In the room, everyone's expression was very depressed, and no one spoke. Those who were lightly injured tended to those who were heavily injured, while those who were moderately injured just leaned to the side and watched this scene with heavy eyes.
In the entire room, other than the groans of the heavily injured, there was no other sound. Because before this, no one would have thought that the result of the expedition would be like this.
Everyone thought that this was a very simple expedition, but they didn't expect that so many strange beasts would suddenly appear. Even the weakest of these Mystic Beasts was at the Fourth Stage, and there were even a few Fifth Stage Mystic Beasts. There was even a Sixth Stage Mystic Beast.
That Rank 6 Mystical Beast was extremely powerful, and its strength was not inferior to Qing's. It was also under the leadership of that Rank 6 Mystical Beast that they were forced to retreat step by step until they escaped from the forest.
What made everyone even more depressed was that Princess Yao had gone missing.
When they decided to retreat, Qing returned to the original place alone to look for Yao. However, when he arrived, the place was already in ruins. It was too horrible to look at. Naturally, he could find the footprints of the other Iron Fierce Bear. When he followed the footprints for a long time, he still couldn't find Yao.
He searched in the forest for a long time until those strange beasts almost surrounded him. Only then did he leave the forest.
However, at this moment, Qing wasn't in this house, and he wasn't even in this inn. After he safely sent everyone here, he left alone. No one knew where he went.
The expressions of the people from Sengoku were extremely lonely. No matter what, there was no glory in their expedition. Instead, it was humiliation.
In the imperial palace in the imperial capital.
Although Guangrui Country was a small country, its territory was still very large. As the imperial palace in the imperial capital, it occupied an area of hundreds of hectares. The entire imperial palace was magnificent. If one looked down from the sky, they could feel its majestic aura.
Even though it was already night time, the imperial palace was still brightly lit. Even if the king was asleep, it would still be so. The lights in the imperial palace couldn't be extinguished. That would be an ominous sign.
Night time, night time. It was already late. The king had also gone to the palace of a concubine early in the morning to seek pleasure in the night.
In the afternoon, the imperial guards reported that a group of powerful people in white had appeared in the imperial capital. This group of people in white had killed the followers of the True God Religion and the commander of the imperial guards, which shocked him greatly. Then, there was news that this group of people in white had already left the imperial capital. Only then did he feel relieved.
One must know that people who could easily kill the commander were at least Level 5 Celestial Masters. There was only one Level 5 Celestial Master in the entire imperial capital, and that was the general of the entire country's army. For safety's sake, he had already sent the general into the palace to protect his safety.
After all, that person in white had once said that he would come and find him before night time. Although he didn't think that a group of people in white would have the guts to provoke the royal family, it was still better to be safe than sorry.
With the general and a group of experts brought by him, he wasn't worried about his safety at all. He was completely immersed in the concubine's bed, seeking pleasure.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky above the palace.
This black shadow was extremely fast, and no one could detect it at all. The huge palace was in his eyes. His face was gloomy and filled with a strong murderous aura.
This person was none other than Qing!
He looked down at the entire palace and scanned it quickly with his cold eyes. The palace was indeed too big, and even he couldn't immediately find the king's location. However, the king must be in the palace, and he had many methods at his disposal.
If he wanted to find the king under normal circumstances, he would definitely kidnap a guard secretly and force him to tell him where the king was. However, he was extremely frustrated now and wasn't in the mood to do that. What he wanted to do was to find the king in the simplest and most violent way!
Whoosh!
He suddenly stopped in the sky. At this moment, he happened to be in the center of the palace. On the ground, it was the highest palace where the king discussed matters.
In the sky, Qing's face was extremely cold. His figure overlapped with the bright moon, and some of the maids and guards who were looking up at the moon were curious.
Then, Qing slowly raised his hand.
His two palms were aimed at the palace below. He frowned and took a deep breath.
When he took a deep breath, Qing's eyes darkened, and he suddenly roared!
"Ha!!"
His roar was like a sudden clap of thunder, and it instantly spread throughout the entire palace! Not only that, but a huge amount of immortal energy instantly exploded from Qing's hands and shot toward the palace below like a cannonball!
Boom!!
Almost at the same time as the roar, the huge piece of land under his feet, with the meeting hall as the center, was completely destroyed!
It was an extremely deep pit, as if the ground had collapsed, and it was bottomless!
The huge explosion shook the entire palace. The king, who was still having fun on the bed of his concubines, felt the bed shake violently as if there was an earthquake. He was so scared that he lost his soul and immediately jumped off the bed to hide!
"Protect the king! Protect the king! "The king's voice shouted loudly. He was as timid as a mouse, and he didn't have the calmness that a king should have.
Immediately, the entire palace was in chaos. All the guards in the palace were running toward the meeting hall. The general and the others who had been waiting outside the king's door were also awakened from their dreams.
The general quickly gave orders to his subordinates. Then, he unleashed his strength and jumped onto the roof of the palace, looking toward the meeting hall.
However, just as he jumped onto the roof, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the moon in the sky. He immediately looked up and saw a black shadow floating under the moonlight.
Flying?!
The general trembled and looked at the person in the sky in shock. His heart sank!
