A quarter past midnight.
More and more dark clouds gathered in the sky, dyeing the entire land darker and darker.
The Sengoku people were currently in a luxurious inn in the imperial capital. This was the meeting point they had decided on before the expedition. Once they were separated, they would gather here.
At this moment, in one of the best rooms in the inn, the Sengoku people were still gathered together. Those who were heavily injured had already fallen asleep, but there were still many who could not sleep and were still groaning in pain. As for those who were not injured or had minor injuries, they were not asleep either.
Princess Yao had not returned yet.
It had been six hours since the incident happened, but Princess Yao still had not returned. This was enough to prove that something had happened. If Princess Yao fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, everyone turned to look at Qing, who had been standing by the window. Ever since he returned from the palace, Qing had been standing by the window, looking outside with a serious expression, as if he was waiting for someone to return.
No one dared to speak to him at this moment, and no one even dared to comfort him.
Qing wanted to go into the forest to save people, but he knew that there was a level six mystical beast in the forest, which meant that there was at least a level six Heavenly Master. If he went, he would undoubtedly be throwing his life away.
The True God Religion's strength was far beyond his imagination. With such strength, they could definitely establish a sect in such a country, or even create their own country. They had to request for support from Sengoku, so he had already sent people to the Gate of the Divine Realm.
However, it would take a long time to go from the imperial capital to the Gate of the Divine Realm, and even longer to go back and forth. Every minute of delay would increase the danger for Yao. He was struggling in his heart, not knowing whether he should go or not.
If he went, there would be three outcomes. The first was that he could defeat his opponent, but the possibility of this was too low, because he had already fought with one of the level six mystical beasts today. The second was that he could not defeat his opponent, but he could hold his opponent back. This way, he might be able to hold his opponent back temporarily and not let them harm Yao. The third was that he would be caught.
No matter how he thought about it, the possibility of the last was the highest. So he was struggling in his heart, not knowing whether he should go or not.
At this moment, his eyes, which had been staring outside the window, suddenly froze, and he immediately turned to look to the east!
What he saw was a familiar figure flying back from the rooftop!
"Little Yao?!" Qing was shocked in his heart, followed by ecstasy! As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room trembled in shock!
Everyone turned their heads to look at the window. Not even two breaths after Qing's voice fell, a figure flashed past the window and directly entered the house!
Hula -----
Long white clothes were spread on the ground. That peerlessly beautiful figure that landed on the ground, if it wasn't Yao, who else could it be?
"Little Yao, you're actually fine!" Qing was so excited that he did not know what to say. He immediately came in front of his younger sister and said, "How are you? Are you hurt? "
Yao, who was squatting on the ground, quickly stood up. She did not look at anyone, but immediately turned to look at Qing. Her beautiful face was filled with anxiety as she said, "Brother, quickly go and save Lu An!"
Lu An?
Qing was startled when he heard this. Only then did he notice that Lu An, who was with Yao, had not returned. However, he did not care about Lu An at all and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent people back to Sengoku to get reinforcements. When my family comes, the True God Religion will definitely be destroyed! "
"But, Lu An has already fallen into their hands!" Yao was extremely anxious. Her voice even sounded like she was about to cry as she said, "He was captured because of me. Brother, go and save him right now …"
Looking at Yao's expression, Qing frowned. His face darkened as he said, "Nonsense! Little Yao, you have to look at how injured our team is. Now that they have taken precautions, going in again is undoubtedly courting death! Don't tell me that in order to save an outsider, we have to sacrifice the lives of so many people, including your brother's life? "
"But …" Yao was anxious. Just as she was about to say something, she was directly interrupted by Qing.
"No buts!" Qing directly said, "Little Yao, it's enough that you're back. I'm very happy. But now, we must wait for reinforcements. As long as they arrive, we will immediately flatten the True God Religion! As for taking action now, don't even think about it! "
Looking at Qing's resolute expression, Yao's heart was filled with pain. She immediately turned around and was about to go around Qing and leave through the window again. When Qing saw this scene, she was shocked.
He immediately reached out and grabbed onto Yao's shoulder. At the same time, he shouted with a frown, "You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
"No." Yao said firmly, "I can't possibly leave him there alone."
"I said, you're not allowed to go anywhere!" Qing seemed to be a little angry as he said to the surrounding people, "All of you, look after the princess. If the princess is lost, all of you will go and apologize to Immortal Master yourselves!"
When those few people heard it, they were instantly shocked as they hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes!"
Following which, those few people surrounded Little Yao and said with a helpless expression, "Princess, you shouldn't go. There's no meaning in going. We will also suffer a calamity …"
Hearing the words of the surrounding people, Yao's expression turned darker and darker. However, the shocking thing was, she actually turned around and was about to leave through the window again. This caused those few people to panic as they hurriedly blocked the window!
"Princess …"
"Move aside!" Yao said solemnly.
Those few people looked at each other and then shook their heads!
Yao's expression turned even darker. This was an expression that they had never seen on Yao's face before. Yao's eyes turned serious as she moved. She actually wanted to go around the three of them and break the wall in front of her!
Seeing this, Qing frowned. With a flash of his body, he grabbed Yao's wrist!
"Stop fooling around!" Qing shouted. However, looking at Yao's expression, he had no choice but to compromise and said, "If you really want to save Lu An, I can send people to search the outer area of the forest. However, you must not enter the inner area of the forest for the time being! "
Hearing this, Yao looked at Qing. After several breaths, she finally put down her hand.
She knew that she could not escape. However, she must force Qing to do something.

Under the forest, in the underground palace.
The area of the underground palace was very huge and the layout was very complicated. At this very moment, Lu An was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the prison cell. He was not meditating. Instead, he opened his eyes and his expression was very solemn.
Earlier, he was brought here with his head covered. However, to him, there was no difference whether he was covered or not. He used Scorching Sun Nine Suns to sense everything around him. Although the path of this underground palace was complicated, he still remembered how he came here.
This prison cell was not small. However, he was the only one in it. There was nothing in the prison cell. It was airtight, not to mention light. Besides, Lu An, whose Fate Wheel was sealed, could not release flames. He could only stay in the darkness.
It was really silent. There was really no light. If other people were to stay in such a space for 30 minutes, they would probably go crazy. However, Lu An did not.
He had been thinking about the possibility of escape. He had also been guessing what the masked man was thinking.
The reason why the masked man did not let him go and did not kill him was probably to save his own life. The masked man must have believed that there was a big shot behind him. Once he killed him, the masked man would not be able to escape. Moreover, the masked man did not believe that he would not pursue the matter. Therefore, it was better to take him as a hostage.
Lu An did not expect that the information of the Sengoku would be wrong. Perhaps they thought that the True God Religion was not established, so their strength was not high. He did not expect himself to be in such a situation. However, he was glad that he came. Otherwise, Yao would really be in trouble.
He was now thinking about how he could escape. He thought of countless ways, but he rejected all of them. As for why he did not mention the Sengoku, it was not only to protect the Sengoku. More importantly, once he mentioned the existence of the Sengoku, they would definitely not let him go.
Just as Lu An was deep in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the prison cell. The footsteps were not loud. On the contrary, they seemed to be light. Obviously, they were the footsteps of a woman.
Judging from the pace of the footsteps, there was no panic. Obviously, they were from the True God Religion. However, there was only one footstep. Could it be the guard of this prison cell?
However, to Lu An's surprise, the footsteps suddenly stopped when they were at their loudest. He was startled and immediately looked up at the door.
Sure enough, as he expected, the door of the prison cell was gradually opened. The light of the candle in the corridor shone in, illuminating the area.
The face that came into view was one of the men and woman on the left and right of the masked man.
