All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

So for now, she can only run deeper into the area and lure these monsters back again.

She gritted her teeth, "Hai Lingruo, you better remember this: as long as I'm alive, I'll definitely take your dog's life."

It was definitely Hai Lingruo who did it!

After saying that, she didn't linger and ran straight into the depths.

At the entrance to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, the royal guards stationed at the gate were blocking the crowd from entering.

The monsters inside are rampaging; going in now would be suicide.

No matter whose family or friends are inside, they cannot go in.

It wasn't until the Emperor of the Holy Feather Kingdom came out to take charge that things calmed down a bit outside.

After some discussion, it was decided to send people from each family who were at least at the Nascent Soul stage to search.

With so many demonic beasts inside, perhaps only those in the Nascent Soul stage who go in together will be safe from danger, with the possibility of adding some late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

Old Master Hai was naturally the first one who wanted to rush in.

He was absolutely filled with regret!

Why make this girl participate in some ridiculous family competition?

He finally managed to find the child, but he hasn't had time to add her to the family genealogy yet.

It's just gone like that!

He should have stopped her and absolutely not let her participate. As for Hai Lingruo and her daughter, he should have known long ago that those two had impure intentions.

That shameless Xia family member!

It's bad enough that they raised Ling'er to be like that, but now they even dare to harm Feng Ning!

They absolutely deserved to die.

Previously, they had considered the feelings of Hai Xingwei and Hai Lingruo, but now it seems that this woman is simply ungrateful and courting death.

Things have come to this point, and he absolutely cannot let it go unchecked.

No matter what dangers lie inside, he must bring Feng Ning back.

Subsequently, a group of Nascent Soul level family heads led their people and rushed in.

Not long after I went in, I saw that the people who had originally gone in to participate were already running out in batches.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these children weren't stupid and knew to run outside.

As they walked, they would occasionally encounter groups of people.

After finding them, they sent someone to take them back, and then continued their search.

The more Grandpa Hai searched, the more alarmed he became.

We've almost left the outer perimeter, so why haven't we seen anyone from the Hai family yet?

Just as he was getting anxious, he suddenly saw Hai Lingruo leading people running this way.

He was overjoyed and rushed over to them. Thank goodness, Ling'er was still alive.

But when he scanned the crowd, he couldn't find Feng Ning.

At this moment, the joy of finding his granddaughter was almost entirely dispelled.

"Grandfather! We're here."

As soon as Hai Lingruo arrived, she hugged Grandpa Hai and cried uncontrollably.

"Grandfather scared Ling'er to death. Ling'er thought she would never see you again."

Grandpa Hai patted her on the back to comfort her.

Then he asked, "Ling'er, have you seen your sister?"

Hai Lingruo's expression froze. Feng Ning! It's Feng Ning again!

He's just a bastard child we just found, how can he compare to her?

When her grandfather arrived, instead of caring whether she was injured or frightened, he immediately called her Feng Ning!

That old man! He's so biased!

She lowered her head, suppressing her anger, biting her lip, and it took her a long time to find her voice again.

"I don't know either. As soon as I realized something was wrong, I took the people and ran outside. We didn't find our way and wandered around for a while before we finally found her, but we didn't see her."

Grandpa Hai looked into the distance, his heart filled with endless worry.

"Weren't you with her before the unrest? Weren't you together when you were running away?"

Hai Lingruo's expression froze as she suddenly remembered the water curtain outside.

But she quickly calmed down.

That was done very discreetly; no one will find out.

She continued to shake her head, "When I sensed danger, I could only run with the others. I thought she would follow, I really didn't expect that..."

As she spoke, two tears fell from her eyes.

Grandpa Hai patted her shoulder, "Don't cry, go out first, it's still dangerous inside. I'll go find your sister."

As he spoke, he ordered someone to send her away.

Hai Lingruo grabbed Grandpa Hai's arm, "Grandfather, Ling'er is scared, could you please take Ling'er out?"

Seeing her face covered in tears, Grandpa Han couldn't bear it in the end.

Both of them were his granddaughters. He felt sorry for Feng Ning, but he couldn't ignore Hai Lingruo either.

After all, this was his granddaughter whom he had cherished for over a decade, and he couldn't let her continue to stay in such a dangerous place.

Then he looked at the others in the group and said, "You guys keep looking, I'll take Ling'er back first."

Hai Lingruo's expression softened somewhat.

Grandpa Hai then led everyone out.

As Hai Lingruo walked along, she was still thinking about how to keep Grandpa Hai here and prevent him from continuing to participate in the rescue.

When no one was looking, she secretly took out a pill from her spatial storage and swallowed it.

This was a poison pill that I obtained by chance, and its symptoms were no different from those of a scorpion venom.

Originally intended for use against enemies, it ended up being used on itself.

This poison is lethal, but its effects are not rapid. Grandfather will surely find a way to cure her.

I've been feeling unwell lately.

But she ate it without hesitation.

As long as Feng Ning dies in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, what does suffering matter?

Sure enough, when she came out, her lips were purplish, her face had darkened, and large drops of sweat were dripping from her forehead.

He coughed up blood as soon as he went outside and collapsed to the ground.

Grandpa Hai was startled and quickly pulled the person back.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Hai Lingruo was already severely poisoned.

Now that things had come to this, he dared not think any further and quickly sent someone to invite an alchemist.

Fortunately, this place is not far from the garrison, and there are also alchemists here.

Hai Lingruo managed to save her life, but she also slowed down Old Master Hai's progress.

It was already the next day when Hai Lingruo was found to be unharmed.

In the end, there were almost no living people left inside.

Those who were alive were all brought out; there were about three hundred people.

The others either died at the hands of the monsters or ran out of spiritual energy and did not receive any rescue.

In the end, only a little over three hundred people came out.

This also caused great sorrow to everyone.

Meanwhile, after something went wrong, Feng Ning led the group of demonic beasts directly into the inner edge of the forest.

The more I ran, the more terrified I became.

"Damn it, how long will this take?"

What's worse, she led the monsters behind her toward the inner perimeter, but countless monsters were still rushing toward her from the front.

She was almost caught in a pincer movement, and could only run around aimlessly.

Fortunately, she had learned the Illusion Technique, so she could rely on her speed to hold out for a while.

Otherwise, she would only be destined to die.
