Beauty Yang was startled when she heard this and her expression turned serious.
She did not expect Lu An to call her over for such a matter. Moreover, Lu An's expression was very firm. It did not seem like he wanted to discuss something with her. Instead, he wanted to announce something.
"Master, please speak." Beauty Yang did not say anything. She knew that she did not need to say anything. She only needed to accept the next order.
Lu An took a light breath and frowned slightly. He said softly, "I want you to bring them to Purple Lake City. Then, you will stay in Purple Lake City and no longer follow me."
"What?" Beauty Yang was shocked when she heard this and looked at Lu An in astonishment.
Lu An looked at Beauty Yang and guessed that she might have such a reaction. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at her quietly.
Recently, he had been thinking about what happened recently.
Not only did he think about what happened after returning to the Midnight Kingdom, but also when he left the Great Success Sky Mountain and followed Beauty Yang from Purple Lake City to the Medicine God Empire.
Although his alchemy skills had improved greatly during this period of time, and he was now able to refine all Grade 4 pills, and could even try refining Grade 5 pills, and his strength had also increased to the mid-stage of Grade 3, he still felt that he was missing something.
This feeling had existed since he was in the Medicine God Empire. He had been thinking about it for a very long time. Only when he returned here and saw the chaos did he understand.
He lacked a sense of danger and a sense of helplessness.
After leaving Purple Lake City, Beauty Yang, as a Tier 7 Heavenly Master, had been by his side. Although he deliberately did not think about Beauty Yang's strength, he knew very well that as long as Beauty Yang was around, he would be absolutely safe.
Beauty Yang said that with her strength, she could do whatever she wanted in all the countries except the Five Great Empires. Outside of the Five Great Empires, it was rare to see a Tier 7 Heavenly Master. In small countries like the Tian Cheng Kingdom and Midnight Kingdom, the highest cultivation level was a Tier 6 Heavenly Master. Outside of the Five Great Empires, the highest cultivation level was a Tier 7 Heavenly Master.
There were not many medium sized countries, unlike the countless small countries like the Tian Cheng Kingdom. Tier 7 Heavenly Masters would not easily make a move, especially against someone of the same level. It was hard to say who would win. After cultivating to this level, no one wanted to die so easily.
Therefore, with Beauty Yang by his side, Lu An always had a tacit assurance in his heart that he would not experience the sense of crisis that he once had.
In the beginning, when he was only a Celestial, he had faced two Steel Arm Apes alone in the forest. He had felt that his life was hanging by a thread. This included many things that happened later on, such as facing the giant snake on the island, being eaten by a strange beast in the sea, and even fighting with a level four Celestial Master in order to save Han Ya, including fighting with a level four Celestial Master in Meteor Trail City, cultivating on the Cliff of Reflection, and so on. All of these made him feel a sense of crisis, and it was this constant sense of crisis that forged his calmness in the face of danger, which also allowed him to make rapid breakthroughs in his strength.
But in the past few months, this sense of crisis had completely disappeared without a trace. In order to regain this sense of crisis, he could only let Beauty Yang leave and move forward alone.
"You are much stronger than me. You should know why I am doing this." Lu An looked at Beauty Yang and said softly, "It just so happens that you have been away from Purple Lake City for a long time. Yang Mu is probably having a hard time in Purple Lake City and misses you a lot."
Hearing this, Beauty Yang frowned slightly. Indeed, she could understand the reason with just a little thought. Although she also felt that it would be better for Lu An to leave alone, if that was the case, true danger would follow.
"But, if something really happens to Master, I won't be able to make it in time. What should I do?" Beauty Yang frowned and asked.
"Then consider me unlucky." Lu An smiled and said softly, "Moreover, you are also free."
Hearing this, Beauty Yang's heart tightened. She frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say it.
"Then … Where is Master going?" Beauty Yang asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but the Sacred Fire Door is everywhere, so it won't be difficult for me to go anywhere." Lu An smiled and said, "But I can't tell you, otherwise you will definitely think of a way to follow me."
"…"
"It's decided then." Lu An smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will go with you to Purple Lake City and leave through the Sacred Fire Door there."
"…"
Seeing how relaxed Lu An was, Beauty Yang did not know why she felt a little sad. However, she just nodded and left without saying anything.

The next morning.
Lu An went to the Liu Mansion to pick up Madam Liu and Shuang 'er, who were already waiting at home. As expected, Madam Liu listened to Lu An and did not bring anything.
After picking up the two of them at the inn, Lu An briefly introduced them and Madam Liu quickly blended in with them. After all, Madam Liu was also very young. She had just turned 30 this year and there was no generation gap.
After tidying up, everyone went to the forest outside Qing Bei City. After all, this inn was too small and there was no place to set up a teleportation array. When Beauty Yang set up the teleportation array, the five women behind Lu An were all shocked. With their strength, it was impossible for them to have seen such a thing.
"Let's go." Lu An looked at the five women and said softly. Under Beauty Yang's protection, the five women entered the teleportation array one after another.
After an incense stick's time.
In the Purple Lake City Lord's Mansion, on the highest floor of a towering building, a purple light pattern suddenly lit up. The light was so bright that the entire empty floor was illuminated. Then, a purple door opened and seven people walked out of the teleportation array.
It was the first time for the five women to go through the teleportation array. Even with Lu An's protection, the strong pressure still made them sit on the ground. Liu Yi was slightly better, but her face was red and she was panting slightly.
Lu An and Beauty Yang stood aside and waited for the five women to recover. The five women were too embarrassed to sit on the ground. They stood up and looked at the empty and dark surroundings.
"We're here." Lu An looked at the five women and said softly, "This is Purple Lake City. You can go to the window and take a look."
Since Lu An did not say anything, they naturally did not dare to move. However, they were already impatient. After hearing Lu An's words, the five women quickly walked to the side of the floor and looked out.
As the scenery entered their eyes, the five women were all dumbfounded and could no longer move.
Shock.
Shock from the soul.
Every building outside had at least fifteen floors. The taller ones even had over a hundred floors. They were like giant beasts standing in the middle of the city. Every building was dark, and most of the buildings were black. It gave off an oppressive and solemn feeling. This huge aura made people hold their breath and even unable to move.
What was even more shocking was that at this moment, these black buildings were all in their eyes, and they were looking down on everything. In other words, they were at the highest point of the entire Purple Lake City!
Lu An looked at the five women's stunned faces and could not help but smile. When he first came to Purple Lake City, he was also in a similar situation. Therefore, he could understand their feelings.
Lu An turned his head and said softly to Beauty Yang, "I'm leaving too."
Beauty Yang was stunned. She looked a little conflicted and asked, "Have you told them?"
"No." Lu An shook his head and said, "Saying goodbye is too sad and troublesome. Let them stay here for a while. You can tell them after I leave. "
Beauty Yang nodded. She looked at Lu An and said, "I'll send you off."
"There's no need for that." Lu An shook his head and said, "It's not like I don't know the way. Moreover, you haven't returned to Purple Lake City for so long. You should go and see your daughter."
"No, I want to send you off." Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and said again.
Lu An was stunned. Seeing Beauty Yang's determined expression, he was a little surprised. However, seeing Beauty Yang's insistence, Lu An could only smile and say, "Okay."
Following which, after giving some simple instructions to the five women and instructing the servants to settle them down, Lu An and Beauty Yang left the City Lord's Mansion. The two of them walked on the streets and passed through the entire Purple Lake City. Finally, they arrived at the forest outside Purple Lake City. At this time, it was already close to evening.
The two of them stood in the depths of the forest. It was empty. There were only dense branches and leaves around them. There was no one else.
"It's here." Lu An stopped and turned to look at Beauty Yang and said, "You've already sent me off for so long. Let's stop here."
Beauty Yang also stopped and quietly looked at Lu An in front of her. Her gaze was a little sluggish and she didn't know what to say.
Lu An opened the Door of Sacred Flame. Soon, a blazing flame appeared in front of them. Lu An turned again and looked at Beauty Yang and said, "I'm leaving. When I become a Level 4 Heavenly Master, I'll come back to see you."
With that, Lu An walked towards the Door of Sacred Flame and prepared to step in.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a soft sound behind him. He turned around curiously and saw Beauty Yang kneeling on the ground.
Beauty Yang knelt at Lu An's feet and raised her head to look at Lu An as she said word by word, "This servant respectfully sends Master off."
Lu An looked at Beauty Yang in surprise. However, in the end, he smiled and said, "I'm leaving."
With that, he strode into the Door of Sacred Flame without looking back.
Whoosh.
After Lu An entered, the Door of Sacred Flame closed. The red light disappeared and the forest returned to normal. Only Beauty Yang was left kneeling on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Beauty Yang lowered her head slightly and muttered softly to herself, "Even if Master really dies … he'll always be my Master."
