"Want to leave? Haha, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this God and Demon Palace..." Emperor Xin shouted, his figure transforming into a golden streak of light, chasing after the crimson streak of light from afar.

The guard who had been following Emperor Yassin on the ground flashed and also turned into a streak of light to give chase.

The three streaks of light moved at incredible speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Sun Fei had a strange feeling that before Emperor Yassin turned to give him a meaningful look, those majestic eyes, as bright as the sun, looked over him. Sun Fei felt as if all his secrets had been seen through, and he felt an unprecedented sense of unease. This terrifying pressure was even more frightening than when the Great Sun-Rank Venerable Domenech turned into Fireball and smashed into him.

A gentle breeze blew by, Sun Fei was covered in sweat. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.

"We're leaving too. Observing the battle of the Great Sun-Rank Venerable just now has truly inspired me. I will take this opportunity to break through to a higher level of strength... Alexander, you're very good. I look forward to seeing you again in the future." Crown Prince Gilano of Saint-Germain nodded to Sun Fei with a look of enlightenment, his expression full of goodwill. Then, holding the Black Crystal Staff Demigod Dou Weapon, he rose into the air as if riding on clouds, stepping on wisps of black and purple mist, and took the four stunning concubines, each with their own unique temperament, in another direction.

They really do seem like a match made in heaven.

"Haha, let's go too. That battle was truly a rare opportunity, an absolute once-in-a-lifetime chance for the four of you. Quickly find a suitable place. The four of you can take advantage of the endless elemental energy of this small world to try and break through your bottlenecks and improve your strength before the Gate of Gods and Demons closes." King Ajax laughed heartily, summoning the Sand of Earth's Wrath, enveloping his two guards, Prince Fairenton, and the eldest disciple of the Great Snow Mountain, Murdoch, within them. With a flash of orange flame, he vanished from the spot.

Indeed, for many martial artists at the lower level of the Moon Class, being able to observe the duel between the strongest beings at such close range amidst the Great Sun Phenomenon, and clearly feel the laws and energy patterns of heaven and earth, is an opportunity that is absolutely rare. If they have enough comprehension, they might even gain a great enlightenment and make rapid progress in their strength. It is also possible that it will be an immeasurable asset for them to advance to the Great Sun-Rank Venerable in the future.

Everyone left one after another, and soon only Sun Fei, the Necromancer master Garcia who was still lying unconscious on the ground, and the divine knight Alan remained. A questioning look appeared in his eyes beyond the black mask.

"You stay here and use the unique advantages of this level 30 difficulty zone's core small world to continue healing and recovering your strength. Try to return to the Great Sun-Rank Venerable position before the Gate of Gods and Demons closes. Also, keep an eye on the final battle between the Imperial Emperor and Domenech. I've found the God and Demon Altar and obtained what I needed. Now I must leave here as soon as possible." Sun Fei thought for a moment and left the Necromancer behind.

After that thrilling battle, His Majesty the King realized that his side was still too weak, like ants before Great Sun-Rank Venerable, utterly powerless. To protect himself in the impending chaos, he needed to quickly cultivate a high-end combat force. His own strength improvement required leveling up by Diablo World, which was fast but impossible to achieve overnight. On the other hand, the Necromancer, before his strength plummeted, was already an extremely prominent Great Sun-Rank Venerable. Now, after using the Undead Death Energy to channel his internal magic channels, he had returned to the Moon Class Great Perfection. If he could break through again, returning to the Great Sun-Rank Venerable position was not impossible.

Once the Necromancer's strength returns to the Great Sun-Rank Venerable, King Chambord and he himself will be safe for the time being.

"Very well, Your Majesty, once you've finished your business, you should return here to reflect and improve your strength. After all, opportunities to observe Great Sun-Rank Venerable's battle up close are rare, especially that Yassin, who was able to defeat Great Sun-Rank Venerable while only at the Moon Class. It's truly astonishing and worth learning from. I hope Your Majesty can gain some insights from the battle just now and further enhance your strength." The Necromancer nodded, earnestly advising the King, fearing he might miss this opportunity. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the two unconscious members of the Church on the ground and frowned, saying, "What should we do with these two?"

"I'll make the arrangements." Sun Fei looked at the unconscious Divine Master Garcia, and a thought flashed through his mind: these two people might be of great use to him.

"Very well." The Necromancer's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, heading in the direction where Emperor Yassin and Domenech had disappeared earlier.

Sun Fei stood there for a moment, but his previous idea was still vague and hard to grasp. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Commanding Gods Master Garcia and the Divine Knight Alan and unleashed his power. With a clang of metal scraping against metal, a pair of huge silver sword wings spread out on his back. He bent his knees and pushed off, and with a loud bang, he shot into the sky like a cannonball, flying rapidly in the direction he had come from.

He needed to rush back to Twin Flag City immediately to use the Cleansing Worldstone to heal his two confidantes Angela and Elena, who were in a deep sleep.

With a sharp whooshing sound, Sun Fei flew rapidly through the air, and the landscapes he had seen on the way there, such as plains, hills, grasslands, and rivers, kept changing below him.

For some reason, Sun Fei felt a surge of unease, as if he had overlooked something.

"It's truly astonishing that Emperor Yassin, with his Moon Class Great Perfection strength, could head-on and completely crush Domenech, Great Sun-Rank Venerable. It's unbelievable! Such a huge difference in strength level and realm, yet he won so easily. Could it be that the so-called martial arts strength level division in this world isn't as strict as I imagined? Or is it because Emperor Yassin is truly exceptionally talented, able to disregard strength level and challenge those above him?"

Recalling the battle in the Blazing Flames Realm just now, Sun Fei was still filled with lingering emotions.

"The guards accompanying Emperor Yassin and Emperor Ajikexi are all at the Moon Class, with one even at the Mid-Tier Moon Class. Why were such powerful individuals previously unknown? Even the Guardian Martial Saint of various countries are probably not as strong as these guards. Is this the hidden strength of the major empires? Or... is there some other reason?"

"Furthermore, the Zenit Empire and the Ajax Empire have now declared war. I wonder why that Ajax emperor kept speaking up for me before? Moreover, with Emperor Yassin's strength, he could have easily killed those four Ajax experts before pursuing Domenech, but why didn't he even glance at that Ajax emperor once? Although the two haven't exchanged any words, why do I clearly feel that they are more like friends than rivals?"

One by one, questions that had been ignored due to the intensity of the battle began to flash through Sun Fei's mind. His sixth sense, as a level 42 Barbarian with Nightmare Difficulty, was incredibly sharp. Sun Fei felt that the previous battle had come about strangely, and the subtle atmosphere between the King of Eindhoven, the King of Ajax, and Emperor Yassin was equally strange.

Of course, these are nothing.

Because Sun Fei quickly discovered the real reason for his distress and confusion --

"Now that Emperor Yashin has fully recovered, with his strength, he could have easily assisted Zenit Martial Saint Krasic before his death, instantly killing those several Moon-level powerhouses. But why did Emperor Yashin, who was clearly stationed in the palace, wait until after Krasic's death before making his move? Zenit folklore says that Emperor Yashin and Martial Saint Krasic had an extremely close relationship, being the closest of friends. If that's the case, why did he die so soon after? Or... did Emperor Yashin intend for Krasic to die?"

The thought of this problem sent shivers down Sun Fei's spine.

"I hope that's not the reason, otherwise... I really don't want to be on the opposite side of a peerless genius like Emperor Yassin."

Sun Fei's mood grew heavier the more he thought about it.

About half a day later, Sun Fei arrived at the place where he first appeared in the small world. It was a boundless forest, and above the summit of a solitary mountain peak, a three-meter-tall, silver-white gate appeared and disappeared. This was the elemental gate that Teleport everyone into the small world. Sun Fei moved like lightning, without the slightest pause, and directly entered the elemental gate.

Twin Flag City.

Four days have passed.

During these four days, Alexander Great, the first commander of the Ajax war zone and the new spiritual Chambord of Twin Flag City, has not shown up. Apart from a few high-ranking military officers who know that His Majesty the King is not actually in the city, but has gone out to find a way to rescue the future Queen and Elena, the Valkyrie of the army.

During this period, the troops and residents in the city were not particularly tense, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Firstly, the Imperial Army, under the command of King Chambord, had won consecutive victories, easily repelling the Ajax army's attack and demonstrating a clear advantage. Moreover, the Ajax forces, who had retreated to a place ten miles outside the city in the past few days, had not launched an attack. Secondly, Sun Fei had repeatedly emphasized war propaganda and mobilization within the city, skillfully controlling and guiding public opinion to dispel the gloom brought by the brutal war. Regarding this war, the people of Twin Flag City not only showed no fear but also displayed excitement and belligerence, eager to rush to the city walls and fight alongside their respected Lord Alexander.
