After being struck by the God Destroying Sword, Li and Shi Tao's faces changed dramatically, and they were stunned motionless as if they had been frozen in place.

Inside their bodies, the two God Destroying Swords directly slashed towards their demon souls!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A moment later, two black demon souls flew out from the brows of Li and Shi Tao, looking very flustered and seemingly heavily injured!

At the same time, having lost the control of the demon souls, the corpses of Li and Shi Tao immediately fell downward.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, Zhao Letian suddenly waved the brush in his hand, unleashing an Invincible Sword Light that struck the corpses of Li and Shi Tao.

"Boom! Boom!"

In the next moment, the corpses of Li and Shi Tao were completely obliterated to ash!

Zhao Letian destroyed the bodies of Li and Shi Tao for two reasons: one was because he couldn't bear to see the bodies of two old acquaintances being occupied by the Demon Clan, and the second was that, by destroying these two physical bodies, the demon souls would have their strength greatly diminished, making it much easier to deal with them.

"Damn it! How dare you destroy the physical vessel of this lord!"

"Damnation! Kill him!"

The two demon souls that were forced out yelled angrily.

Although Zhao Letian's God Destroying Sword wounded them, killing them wasn't so easy. After all, the life force of the Demon Clan is extremely stubborn, and both individuals were among the kings of the Demon Clan, powerful beings at the Demon King Level, certainly not someone in the True Martial Realm could easily annihilate!

"Hmph! Without physical bodies, you still dare to be rampant, truly seeking death!"

At this moment, the Golden Flood Dragon coldly huffed, and with a wave of its hand, unleashed a massive illusory dragon claw, violently smashing towards the four demon souls!

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, Zhao Letian once again unleashed an Invincible Sword Light, heading straight for the two demon souls that had lost their physical bodies!

If Zhao Letian were to rely solely on his own strength, indeed, it would be difficult to annihilate the Demon King Souls, but if he were to utilize the Martial Emperor Power, it would be a different story. With the Martial Emperor Power in the brush and the mighty force of the Invincible Sword, he could threaten the lives of those two demon souls!

"Damn it! Let's go!"

Seeing the overwhelming attacks from Zhao Letian and the Golden Flood Dragon, which were difficult to withstand, the four demon souls, frowning, exchanged glances and immediately scattered and fled.

They could sense that apart from Zhao Letian's group of four, there were other Martial Artists within this small world; there was no need to waste time on Zhao Letian and his group specifically.

Especially for the two demon souls that had lost their bodies, the urgent matter at hand was not to deal with Zhao Letian's group, but to quickly find new bodies; otherwise, the power that they had so hardly accumulated would rapidly dissipate.

Seeing the four demon souls fleeing, Zhao Letian and his group did not pursue but allowed them to escape.

Because Zhao Letian was very aware that although it was possible for them to suppress the four demon souls with their power, killing them would be rather difficult, and certainly not achievable in a short amount of time. Thus, continuing to fight would be a waste of time for them, with no need to give chase.

Even worse, if they continued to entangle and ended up drawing the Demon Lord from Supreme Heaven, then they would be in danger.

"Let's go, let's also leave the Imperial City and find a safe place to wait to be transported out," Zhao Letian said in a deep voice.

"Mm!"

The Golden Flood Dragon and the others nodded.

Subsequently, they headed straight for the outside of the Imperial City.

Along the way, they would directly attack and kill any unrecognizable Martial Artists they encountered, regardless of their kingdom of origin, and loot their storage rings.

...

Time quietly slipped away, with less than an hour remaining until the official end of the Imperial Secret Realm expedition.

Outside the Secret Realm, by the side of a wilderness lake.

The Floating Cloud Monarch was patiently waiting with a group of Letian's enemies.

"What on earth is going on? Why is that inexplicable sense of crisis getting stronger and stronger?"

The Floating Cloud Monarch knitted his brows tightly, looking around him vigilantly. His vast Divine Thought Power covered hundreds of miles.

Yet even so, he still couldn't detect any abnormalities.

As for the other people present, due to their insufficient cultivation, they didn't even perceive an inkling of the crisis.

At this moment, impatientness was evident in their eyes; they were just waiting for Letian to be transmitted out, and they would immediately act to eliminate this common enemy!

"Hum!"

Before long, the sky above the surface of the lake suddenly emitted a strange tremor, as if the entire space was shaking.

"The time has come! But those two guys still haven't shown up... If that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Floating Cloud Monarch's gaze sharpened as he said this.

The fact that both the War Monarch of the Golden Knight Dynasty and the Sea Lord of the Haiya Dynasty hadn't appeared on time was very abnormal.

The Floating Cloud Monarch could even be certain that this definitely had something to do with the inexplicable crisis he felt!

But now, he couldn't worry about that anymore!

Once the True Martial Realm geniuses from the various countries are transmitted out, he would directly strike, slaughtering all the Martial Artists from the other two major nations, then take the people from the Sky Dome Dynasty and immediately leave this place!

He refused to believe that, as a Monarch Level Expert, if he wanted to leave, there could be any crisis that could detain him!

Unless, Emperor Wu personally took action!

However, the mutual checks and balances between the three Emperor Wus were the cornerstone of the Four Symbols Domain's peace and stability. Unless facing the danger of national destruction, the three Emperor Wus would absolutely not take action lightly!

And as long as no Emperor-level powers intervened, the Floating Cloud Monarch was confident that nothing could stop him!

Meanwhile, within the Imperial Secret Realm, atop a mountain not far from the Imperial City, Letian and his three companions stood together, looking up into the endless sky.

Not long before, this piece of sky had also trembled suddenly, letting them realize that they were about to be transported out.

"Golden Flood Dragon, are you sure that method is workable?"

While waiting, Letian suddenly transmitted his voice to ask.

Not long ago, he and the Golden Flood Dragon had come up with a plan to keep a portion of the collected Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures hidden!

Or to be more precise, he planned to keep the vast majority of mission items hidden, only handing over a small part!

After all, during this Imperial Secret Realm mission, he had killed too many top talents, and it is estimated that at least ninety percent of the mission items collected by the three major nations were in his hands!

So many items amounted to an unimaginably huge fortune; simply handing them over would indeed be very painful!

Furthermore, if he handed over all these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it would be tantamount to indirectly admitting that the others were killed by him!

Therefore, no matter what, he had to find a way to keep some of the mission items hidden.

However, with his current means, he simply couldn't deceive the eyes and ears of a Monarch Level Expert.

Luckily, the Golden Flood Dragon had provided him with a method, but he was unsure whether this method was really reliable or not.
