Lin Yuran's charming cheeks were filled with smiles as she tightly held Ji Binyu's hand. "Alright, if Lin Country betrays me, then they have no one to blame. Let the entire Xuanzhou Continent be buried with them! Everyone, die!"
Ji Binyu glanced at the man in black, then suddenly took out a small bead and smashed it hard on the ground!
Countless white mists immediately rose from the ground, obscuring vision.
The man in black quickly stepped forward. He could only see white mist, not a single white shadow.
"Damn it!"
"These two escaped again!"
The man in black couldn't help but curse in a low voice, raising his hand and unleashing spiritual energy towards the white mist.
In a few breaths, the white mist disappeared.
Ji Binyu and Lin Yuran clasped hands and slipped into a crevice.
The man in black wanted to follow. As his gaze swept towards the black hole, he forcibly stopped his steps and retreated a few paces.
A colossal being fell from the black hole, smashing hard onto the ground.
*Clang!*
The colossal being hit the ground, shaking it violently and even creating a huge pit.
The black hole was quite a distance from the ground.
Logically, falling from such a height, even a cultivator would be in trouble without any protective measures.
The colossal being twisted its body, seemingly unfazed by pain, and slowly crawled out of the pit.
The creature was dark green all over, with a pair of sharp red eyes that instilled terror. Its skin was covered in dense, small lumps, emitting a foul stench. It was enormous and strong, even reaching two *zhang* in height.
"This..."
The man in black retreated step by step, his gaze locked onto the colossal being before him. "What is this thing?"
The colossal being noticed the man in black, and its pair of cold, terrifying red eyes instantly fell upon him.
*Whoosh!*
The colossal being moved, its massive body charging towards him!
Its speed was astonishing.
Even the man in black was surprised. "This thing's cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
The man in black hurriedly dodged, not forgetting to glance back at the black hole.
Countless hands were clawing at the black hole.
The black hole grew larger and larger.
More colossal beings continued to fall from the black hole, landing heavily on the ground.
As if unfazed by pain, they twisted their massive arms and legs, slowly crawling out of the pits.
"Hehehehe!"
They let out chilling laughter, as if summoning something.
More laughter echoed from within the black hole. One could imagine countless colossal beings inside...
In just a moment, over a dozen colossal beings had fallen from the black hole.
The man in black frantically dodged the attacks of the colossal beings.
He raised his long sword and fiercely stabbed at a colossal being!
The sword grazed the colossal being's arm, and a green, foul-smelling fluid oozed from the wound.
"Ugh!"
The stench made the man in black gag.
The stench was like that of a thousand-year-old rotting corpse. The man in black quickly blocked his sense of smell, managing to suppress his nausea.
The colossal being, as if feeling no pain, swung its massive hand towards his head.
The colossal being's speed was incredible. Even with its body covered in wounds, it seemed unfazed by pain.
This sent a chill down the man in black's spine.
He had no idea how many more of these strange creatures there were. He could still handle a dozen, but if there were hundreds or thousands, he would simply become food for them!
At this moment, he finally understood the intention behind Ji Binyu and Lin Yuran's words.
If an endless stream of monsters continued to fall from the black hole, these monsters could indeed destroy the Lin Country, and even the entire Xuanzhou Continent...
The man in black knew he couldn't let these things leave the forest, otherwise, the Lin Country would face utter annihilation!
While fending off the monsters, he urged the spiritual energy within his body and quickly cast a formation to trap them.
As the formation descended, a dense mass of monsters was confined within it.
*Bang bang!*
The monsters repeatedly slammed their massive bodies against the formation.
The formation swayed precariously, on the verge of breaking.
The man in black looked up at the forest.
More monsters surged towards the formation. In a short while, hundreds of them appeared in the woods.
Monsters were still continuously falling from the black hole.
"What exactly are these things!"
The man in black took a deep breath, the scene before him making his scalp tingle.
At this moment, two words flashed in his mind: Ren Kui.
The legendary Ren Kui were tall and mighty, like living dead. Even if an arm was severed or injured, they could heal within a short time, just like the monsters before him.
The Ren Kui, which had disappeared for a thousand years, had reappeared...
The formation could only trap the Ren Kui for a while, perhaps not for long.
The man in black dared not delay and bolted, rushing out of the forest...
Lin Country Imperial Palace.
The carriage sped along, heading rapidly towards the palace.
Inside the carriage.
Feng Ninghe closed her eyes, meditating and cultivating.
*Peng!*
The carriage shook violently.
She also opened her eyes at that moment, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.
"What happened?"
She casually lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.
The coachman hastily offered an obsequious smile. "Your Majesty, a child suddenly rushed out from up ahead."
The guards quickly shooed the child away, picking him up and placing him to the side.
The child clutched a letter in his small hand, constantly babbling, "I want to see the Empress. Someone told me to give this letter to the Empress!"
The guard glanced at the child dismissively, a hint of contempt in his expression. "You want to see the Empress? Not everyone has the chance to see Her Majesty."
The child's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the carriage. "I have a letter for the Empress!"
The guards hastily tried to drive the child away.
However, Feng Ninghe ordered the coachman to stop the carriage. Her cool, clear voice slowly spoke, "Let the child come over."
At her command, the guards stopped pushing him away and brought the child to the carriage.
Feng Ninghe's gaze fell upon the child. "You have a letter for me?"
Facing the question, the child did not hesitate and quickly handed over a letter. "Someone gave me a hundred spirit stones and told me to give this letter to you."
"Oh?"
Feng Ninghe, slightly curious, took the letter. "Who asked you to give me the letter?"
The child pondered, his eyes darting around before explaining, "A young master and a young lady gave it to me. The young lady also said she doesn't want the position of Empress anymore and told you to sit on the throne peacefully."
Feng Ninghe opened the letter at that moment.
Bai Niannian stretched her neck to peek, her gaze falling on the letter. "If you are fortunate enough to survive, we will be waiting for you in Dragon Domain."
Mentioning Dragon Domain, Si Jianye's eyes narrowed, and he looked up at the letter.
"Dragon Domain?"
The familiar words caused Su Hongxiu to instinctively look at Si Jianye.
This was the second time she had heard the name Dragon Domain.
The first time was from Si Jianye himself.
Feng Ninghe stared at the letter, her expression not changing much. Her clear, cool voice slowly said, "This is Lin Yuran's handwriting."
She was very familiar with the characters on the letter.
When she had entrusted Lin Yuran with managing state affairs back then, she had seen Lin Yuran write.
