In the middle of the forest.
In this central area, the battle had become extremely grim. Although it was only the second day, this part of the forest was almost completely destroyed.
The people here included almost all the level four Celestial Masters. In fact, there were no level five Celestial Masters participating in this competition. After all, for level five Celestial Masters, there was almost no need to enter the Purple Lake.
However, the level four Celestial Masters were also very powerful. Every attack would destroy a large part of the forest. In this competition, there were less than thirty level two Celestial Masters, but there were nearly two hundred and forty level three Celestial Masters. The remaining thirty or so people were all level four Celestial Masters.
For a team of level four Celestial Masters, encountering a level three Celestial Master was practically a one-sided affair. Before the final day of the competition, very few level four Celestial Masters would fight with other level four Celestial Master teams. Even if they met, they would directly avoid them.
Right now, for all the level four Celestial Master teams, they were looking for low-level prey to quickly replenish their imprints. Those level three Celestial Masters were also very smart. They did not walk openly like the level four Celestial Masters. Instead, they walked while hiding, and could only attack people of the same level.
Among these level four Celestial Master teams, there was a team that only had three imprints so far. No one had snatched them. This group was made up of the guests who lived across from Lu An, and their objective was not the Purple Lake at all.
They were there for another team.
At this moment, the three of them were hiding in a big tree. One of them asked, "How are the two of you? Did you find anyone? "
However, the two of them shook their heads and said, "No."
"Damn it!" The leader gritted his teeth and said, "This time, the mission given to us by the Second Prince must be completed no matter what. This is the best chance to assassinate the First Prince. If we miss this chance, I'm afraid we won't have another chance! "
When the other two heard this, their expressions became serious.
Actually, their mission this time was very simple. It was to assassinate their country's First Prince, who was also the future heir to the throne. And the one who ordered them was naturally the Second Prince. Originally, the First Prince's participation in the competition was a secret, but the Second Prince somehow got the news and sent the three of them.
Furthermore, the Second Prince had also found out the strength of the two guards beside the First Prince. They were both Level Four Heavenly Masters. Furthermore, the First Prince was only a Level 3 Celestial Master. Once they encountered him, they had absolute confidence in assassinating the First Prince!
However, for some reason, the First Prince, who clearly had a Level Four Heavenly Master, was extremely careful in this battle. He had actually not been able to find anyone until now. The three of them split up and encountered many teams of Level Four Heavenly Masters along the way, but there was no sign of the First Prince!
If he could not complete the mission, the Second Prince would be very angry. As for the angry second prince, even the three of them could not escape the blame.
"Continue to split up and search!" The leader said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we have to find him today. Once it's the third day, we can't be sure if they will leave early. Furthermore, there are a total of six exits. We can't possibly take care of all of them! "
"Yes!" The other two immediately replied.

At noon, at the edge of the forest, in a completely inconspicuous tree.
Lu An, Yang Mu, and Xiao Lan sat in a small space. Lu An sat on one side, and the two girls sat on the other side. At this moment, the two girls were very close to each other, and their faces were filled with worry.
"Miss … Do you think we've gone too far …" Xiao Lan's expression was ugly. She turned her head and whispered to Yang Mu, "It's so dangerous here. If something really happens …"
"…"
Hearing Xiao Lan's words, Yang Mu's expression changed again, and her brows deepened. However, no matter how she changed, the stubbornness on her face did not decrease at all. She still had the determination to not turn back.
"I'll accept the danger!" Yang Mu bit her lips and said, "Since we're already here, what's the use of saying so much now?"
"But, as long as we reveal our true identities, the people here shouldn't dare to do anything to us." Xiao Lan said worriedly, "This way, we can leave here safely."
Indeed, Xiao Lan was right. When Yang Mu revealed her identity as the City Lord's daughter, no one would dare to hurt her.
But …
"What about him?" Yang Mu glanced at Lu An, frowned and said to Xiao Lan, "If we leave, what will happen to him? He must have come to participate in the competition for the imprint. If we leave, wouldn't he have no team? "
"Miss! Do you think he can get into the top three? " Xiao Lan was a little anxious, and said softly, "Has there ever been a Level 2 Heavenly Master in the top three?"
"…"
"At most, we'll bring him out, and then give him a generous gift. He definitely won't lose out!" Xiao Lan saw that the Miss was hesitating, and quickly said, "This way, not only will he not be in danger, but he can also get a gift. He'll definitely be very happy!"
Hearing Xiao Lan's words, Yang Mu's heart more or less beat the drum of retreat. That's right, this forest was full of danger, and it was much more complicated and terrifying than she originally imagined. She originally came here to prove to her mother that she was no longer a child, but she didn't expect it to be such a situation.
If it wasn't for Lu An, she might really have died.
Yang Mu turned her head to look at Lu An again. Seeing Lu An leaning against the wall in deep thought, her heart shook.
Then, she finally made up her mind.
No matter what, she couldn't leave!
Seeing Lu An in deep thought, she once again felt a deep sense of maturity and steadiness from this young man. And she, had always been living under her mother's halo. No matter what she did, she couldn't really think independently, because in the end, her mother would help her solve it!
So, even though she was already seventeen years old, she had always been treated as a child in front of her mother. It was also because she couldn't accept this point that she wanted to take the initiative to come to the forest!
This time, she wanted to completely forget about her mother's existence. She wanted to be like Lu An, and rely on her own strength to walk out!
On the other side, Lu An seemed to have felt something. He raised his head to look at Yang Mu, and just happened to meet Yang Mu's eyes. He realized that Yang Mu's eyes seemed to be very firm. Although he didn't know why, he still habitually smiled.
After looking at Lu An, Yang Mu turned her head to Xiao Lan and said softly, "I've decided, no matter what, we can't leave."
"Miss!" Xiao Lan heard and immediately said anxiously, "But what about your safety?"
"I'll rely on myself." Yang Mu said firmly, "Even if I die here, I'll accept it!"
"Miss …" Just when Xiao Lan was anxiously about to say something, Yang Mu had already turned her head and didn't listen at all. Lu An, who was sitting opposite the two girls, naturally didn't know what had happened. He had been deep in thought.
What he did was very simple, and that was to make different plans to face different situations.
Naturally, he had come here to obtain the imprint. The third day was his most important day. In his mind, he thought of countless ways to obtain the imprint, but none of them was to face the enemy head-on. With his strength, he could only wait outside for an opportunity.
However, no matter what, snatching the imprint from a group of Level 3 Heavenly Masters and Level 4 Heavenly Masters to get into the top three was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Lu An would never give up.
Just when Lu An was deep in thought, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Although it was just a feeling, he who had been releasing the Scorching Sun Nine Suns suddenly felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed. The surrounding grass seemed to have suddenly become a lot taller, and the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees seemed to have suddenly become dense.
Could it be that he was imagining things?
Lu An concentrated and focused all his attention on his perception. Soon, he confirmed that his feeling was not wrong!
The surrounding grass was indeed growing rapidly, and the speed of growth was getting faster and faster, faster and faster!
What was going on?
Lu An was shocked. When the two girls opposite him saw the change in Lu An's expression, Yang Mu quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? "
However, just when Lu An was about to explain, the space around the three of them suddenly moved!
In the space of the big tree where the three of them were, the space that was dug out by the three of them actually moved in an instant. The trees were quickly replenished, and the space was rapidly shrinking!
Immediately, the three of them who were leaning on the side were pushed to stand up, and at the same time, they moved closer to the center. The surrounding trees were expanding faster and faster, and the three of them were completely squeezed together!
"We can't stay here any longer!" Lu An frowned and said in a low voice, "Get out!"
After saying that, Lu An immediately mobilized his Fate Wheel, shouted in a low voice, and hit the surrounding trees with all his strength!
Bang!!
There was an explosion, and in an instant, the entire big tree exploded from the middle! The towering tree collapsed, and Lu An and the other two quickly arrived at the grass outside!
At this moment, the grass was already knee-high! However, when Lu An and the other two appeared, the growth of the grass stopped completely!
Lu An was stunned, and he did not know what had happened. There was not even a shadow around. He frowned, and immediately turned to the two girls and said, "Let's go!"
However, when he saw the two girls, he was stunned.
The two girls' expressions became very complicated. Looking at the changes in the surrounding forest, it was obvious that they knew something.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Lu An!
"Have you had enough fun?"
