Hei Jiao turned to the Eldest Princess and said, "You should leave now, head out of the capital to Guobei County."
The Eldest Princess looked at Hei Jiao with uncertainty. "What is your relationship with Feng Er? Is there some kind of conspiracy?"
Hei Jiao was taken aback, looking at the Eldest Princess with a hint of helplessness. "Let me put it this way: he saved my life. I will only help him, not harm him."
The Eldest Princess stared at Hei Jiao in surprise. "So that's how it is."
"Quickly," Hei Jiao urged, his expression serious. "If you don't hurry, you won't have a chance to leave."
The Eldest Princess stood up decisively. "Alright." She turned around and left swiftly.
Guan Mama shot a strange glance at Hei Jiao before hurriedly following after her.
Hei Jiao was momentarily stunned by their speed.
He then turned to Wei Guo Gong and Xian Guo Gong, saying calmly, "You should leave as well."
"Really? You're letting us go?" Xian Guo Gong asked incredulously, as they had thought their fate was sealed.
Wei Guo Gong grabbed Xian Guo Gong's arm and quickly ran out. "We need to escape! What are you waiting for?"
Pudu Cihang looked at Hei Jiao in surprise. "You're just letting them leave like that?"
Hei Jiao smiled faintly. "I came to eliminate the royal family; I can't leave the capital without a single expert remaining."
Pudu Cihang paused, his eyes flickering. "Just the two of us—can we handle the people from the forbidden area?"
Hei Jiao raised an eyebrow. "You should hurry and face your tribulation; you'll find out soon enough."
Pudu Cihang nodded slightly, realizing that he had no choice but to act now.
A radiant light enveloped him as he soared into the sky, crashing through the roof and sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
Hei Jiao flew out as well, standing a short distance away while squinting at the glowing light.
He sensed that this realm was filled with traces of Buddhism and had an inkling that there was some hidden scheme behind it.
Suddenly, Hei Jiao looked up at the sky as dark clouds rolled in.
He took a step back, distancing himself further.
With a buzz, a massive Golden Centipede appeared in the sky, its body stretching dozens of feet long.
The giant centipede firmly grasped a Golden Dragon beneath it, though it appeared somewhat illusory.
Ang Jinlong let out a painful scream that echoed and then dissipated into the air. Several beams of golden light shot off in different directions, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Hei Jiao noticed one beam heading north. "Ha ha, it worked!" the Golden Centipede exclaimed excitedly.
"Damn it, demon! You killed the Emperor and seized my Destiny Energy! You’re asking for death!" a furious roar came from afar.
In the depths of the palace, several Daoist figures appeared, rushing towards Pudu Cihang with overwhelming momentum.
"Ha ha, you’re too late!" Pudu Cihang laughed triumphantly.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky.
The old men halted in their tracks, alarmed. "This is bad; the demon is about to undergo tribulation!"
"What should we do? We can’t just let this go!" one of them exclaimed.
"Absolutely not! We’ll wait until he’s weakened from the Heavenly Tribulation before we strike."
"Exactly, waiting is fine; we must kill him regardless."
At that moment, Hei Jiao transformed his body into dust, floating in the air as he quietly observed the old men.
Hmm, they are all at the Ren Xian realm, strong enough to have passed through the Heavenly Tribulation—there are not three but four of them.
