"Why should I persuade you?" Master Qi rolled his eyes when he heard that.

"You unfilial son, I am your father." Grandpa Qi was completely panicked when he saw that the defensive power of the protective formation was only a thin layer left.

"Huh... I feel relieved to see that everyone is safe. You just take care." After saying this, Mr. Qi stood up and left.

In the palace.

Yan Li and the others entered the palace and found that unlike the dead and gloomy place in Qi's house, the palace was brightly lit and very lively.

Yan Li and the others looked at the people walking around in the palace and found that there was not a single familiar face.

At this time, a cheer came from the east.

"Isn't that the place where the banquet was held before?" Yan Li looked in the direction where the cheers came from.

"Let's go and take a look." After saying this, Ancestor Qi walked towards the east.

Yan Li and the others arrived at the place where the cheers came from and found that a banquet was being held there.

However, the people attending the banquet were not members of the royal family, officials, or people from aristocratic families, but a group of people in black.

Yan Li looked towards the center of the banquet and saw the royal family members tied there, with dull eyes and ragged clothes.

Some were chained, some were sprawled on the ground, and some lay motionless on the ground covered in blood...

This scene looks like a Shura battlefield!

Seeing this, Yan Li couldn't help but wonder if this man in black had a grudge against the royal family, otherwise why would he treat the entire royal family so badly?

"Master, let me out and I will kill them." Bei Su, who has the royal blood of Beifeng, couldn't help but see this.

"Bei Su, don't be impulsive. Let's first investigate the origins of these men in black." Yan Li sent a message to Bei Su.

"I didn't expect that the entire Beifeng Empire was still fine before we left, but it became like this in such a short period of time." Bei Su said gritting his teeth.

Although he was once unwilling to become the emperor and had some hatred towards the Beifeng Empire.

But he also couldn't bear to see the Beifeng royal family being bullied like this.

Yan Li did not see the emperor among these royal family members, so he guessed that the emperor had either met with an accident or was imprisoned.

"Master, let me go out. Don't worry, I will never act impulsively without your order. I can find the emperor, whether he is alive or dead." Bei Su said again.

"Okay." Yan Li nodded and let Bei Su out.

Since Bei Su is a ghost cultivator, he is invisible when he comes out.

"Master, the emperor is in the palace where I used to stay." Bei Su said and took Yan Li and the others towards the palace where he had hidden before.

As long as we find the emperor, we should be able to find out the origins of these men in black.

Yan Li followed Bei Su into the palace and came directly to a dilapidated room.

"Bei Su, are you saying that the emperor is in here?" Bei Su beside Yan Li.

"Yes, master, he probably hid himself. Can you see if there is any hidden barrier or secret room here?" Although Bei Su could sense that the emperor was here, he had no way to find him.

Upon hearing this, Yan Li looked around and indeed saw a hidden barrier.

The emperor was huddled in a hidden barrier, his body covered in blood, and he looked like he was dying.

Yan Li quickly led a few people into the hidden barrier.

The emperor was shocked at first when he discovered someone had entered the hidden barrier, but when he saw that it was Yan Li and the others, his eyes flashed with ecstasy.

Seeing this, Yan Li quickly took out a healing pill and gave it to him.

The emperor's originally pale face finally turned rosy.

"Your Majesty, what is going on?" Seeing that the emperor had recovered his breath, Ancestor Qi asked.

"Your Majesty, why is Grandpa Lu not here? Where is he?" Yan Li was a little worried about the Imperial Preceptor.

"The Imperial Master said before that he would go to find out about the situation of those men in black, but he never came back. Oh, this is what the Imperial Master left behind before he left. He told me to find a chance to give it to Venerable Gu Cang if he didn't come back." He also took out a jade pendant with a sound recording function and handed it to Venerable Gu Cang.

Venerable Gu Cang took it and looked at it, confirming that it was something left by the National Master. He then used his mental power to read the contents inside.

After reading it, Venerable Gu Cang's face turned completely dark.

"Master, what message did Grandpa Lu leave behind?" Yan Li looked at her master and asked.

"Those men in black are coming for us, especially you. The Beifeng Empire is just a toy for them to pick up." Venerable Gu Cang replied.

"What real power do they belong to?" Yan Li's aura turned cold when he heard that.

Since the target was him and his master, the Beifeng Empire was just a byproduct and was destroyed by them.

This shows how evil those people are.

"The specific force is unknown, and this is also something that Old Man Lu needs to investigate." Venerable Gu Cang shook his head.

"It seems that the Beifeng Empire was implicated by us." Yan Li felt a little guilty.

"Not entirely. They will set their sights on the Beifeng Empire in order to seize the Beifeng Empire's national treasures." Upon seeing this, Venerable Gu Cang hurriedly explained.

In other words, although these people's target is their master and disciple, even if they do not come to Beifeng Empire, those people will not let Beifeng Empire go.

"Master, Grandpa Lu must be in danger now. Let's find him first." Yan Li looked at Venerable Gu Cang.

"Okay." Venerable Gu Cang nodded.

"Venerable Gu Cang, then our royal family..." The emperor looked at Venerable Gu Cang with pleading eyes.

"Has your national treasure been taken away by them?" Venerable Gu Cang looked at the emperor.

"No, our empire's national treasure cannot be taken away by anyone. It's not because it is so powerful, but if you want to get the national treasure, you must become the emperor of the Beifeng Empire, and you can never leave the Beifeng Empire." The emperor looked at Yan Li and the others and decided to tell them about the national treasure.

"What kind of national treasure is so domineering?" Yan Li was curious when he heard it.

I own countless treasures, but this is the first time I have heard of such a powerful treasure.

Upon hearing this, the emperor opened his mouth and slowly spit out a bright yellow bead.

"It is the national treasure of my Beifeng Empire. It can hold down the foundation of my Beifeng Empire, but for me it is a bondage that I can never get rid of." The emperor explained, looking at the beads in his hand.

"What do those men in black want to do with it?" Yan Li looked at the bead in the emperor's hand with great curiosity.

"That's not clear." The emperor shook his head.

"Your Majesty, please quickly put this bead back into your body and don't let its aura leak out." Ancestor Qi said to the emperor.

After all, this bead is of vital importance to the Beifeng Empire.

"Okay." The emperor nodded and put the bead in his hand back into his body.

"Looking at the situation, it's not safe for Your Majesty to stay here. It's better for you to enter my space first. After we kill those men in black, you can come out." After Yan Li said this, she put the emperor into the space without waiting for his reaction.
