Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

"Return to the Alliance?" Qingshuang repeated, with a hint of doubt in her tone, "Do you think the Alliance will know the situation in Sunset Forest? They can't even find out the power behind the Blood Vampire Sect."

Luo Chen sighed, he knew that what Qingshuang said was true. Although the alliance was powerful, it was indeed powerless when it came to some deeply hidden secrets.

"I'm not sure either, but we don't have any better solution now." Luo Chen said helplessly, "We can't just wait here forever, can we? Besides, the changes in Sunset Forest must not be without reason. Maybe there are relevant records in the alliance."

Mo Han nodded, agreeing with Luo Chen's opinion. "Luo Chen is right. We can only go back to the alliance and see what happens. Besides, we can't stay outside forever. If we encounter any danger again, it will be troublesome."

"Okay." Although Qingshuang felt that there was little hope, she also knew that there was really no better choice at the moment, so she could only agree to Luo Chen's proposal.

The three of them briefly discussed and decided to return to the Loose Cultivator Alliance. They did not stay there for too long, but quickly rushed towards the alliance.

Along the way, the three of them remained highly alert, fearing that they would encounter any danger again. As they hurried on their way, they exchanged their views on the Sunset Forest.

"What do you think that black-scaled monster is?" Luo Chen asked with a frown. He still couldn't forget the horrifying appearance of that monster.

"I don't know either. I've never seen that kind of monster." Mo Han shook his head. It was also the first time he saw such a powerful creature.

"Judging from its scales and horns, it should not be an ordinary monster." Qingshuang analyzed. She had looked through the alliance's books, but did not find any records about this kind of monster.

"Could it be that the Blood Demon Sect created it?" Luo Chen suddenly thought of the Blood Demon Sect's evil magic. He felt that this monster was most likely a product of some experiment by the Blood Demon Sect.

"It's possible." Qingshuang nodded. She also felt that the Blood Ghost Sect had this possibility. "But the Blood Ghost Sect has been destroyed by us. They should not be able to create such a monster."

"Perhaps, there is an even more powerful force behind the Blood Demon Sect." Mo Han said. He remembered what the mysterious master said in the Tianyuan Empire Palace. The ultimate secret of the Blood Demon Sect might be far more complicated than they imagined.

"No matter what, we have to be careful." Luo Chen said. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He felt that they might have been involved in a huge conspiracy.

The three of them fell silent. They all realized that the enemy they were facing was much more powerful than they had imagined, and they had to be more careful in order to survive in this crisis-ridden world.

After several days of traveling, the three finally returned to the Loose Cultivator Alliance. The atmosphere in the alliance remained the same as usual, and there was no change because they had been away for a few days.

They went directly to the meeting hall where the leader was and reported to him what had happened in the Sunset Forest.

After listening to the reports of the three people, the leader's face became solemn. He pondered for a moment, then said: "The unusual movement in Sunset Forest is indeed a bit strange, and there is no record of such a monster in the alliance."

"Alliance leader, we suspect that this monster may be related to the Blood Vampire Sect." Luo Chen said, and he told the alliance leader his guess.

"Blood Demon Sect?" The leader frowned. "Hasn't the Blood Demon Sect been destroyed by you?"

"We only destroyed the Blood Vampire Sect's visible forces. We suspect there are even more powerful forces behind them." Qingshuang explained.

"Well, your suspicion is not without reason." The leader nodded, "I will send someone to investigate this matter. You can go back and rest first."

"Yes." The three responded and then left the meeting hall.

After returning to their residence, none of the three spoke and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.

"Do you think the leader will believe us?" Luo Chen broke the silence. He was a little worried that the leader would not take their report seriously.

"The leader should believe us. He is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong." Qingshuang said. She still trusted the leader quite a bit.

"I hope so." Luo Chen sighed. He knew that they could only wait for the results of the alliance's investigation and there was nothing they could do themselves.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Mo Han suddenly said, "We should take the initiative and investigate the forces behind the Blood Vampire Sect."

"How do we take the initiative?" Luo Chen asked. He felt that they didn't have any clues now and had no idea where to start.

"We can start with the Tianyuan Empire." Mo Han said, "When we were in the Tianyuan Empire Palace, we found some clues about the ultimate secret of the Blood Ghost Sect. Maybe we can find a breakthrough from there."

"You mean, we should go to the Tianyuan Empire again?" Qingshuang asked. She felt that this idea was a bit risky.

"Well, we don't have any other clues now, so we can only take a risk." Mo Han said, "Also, we can't let the forces behind the Blood Vampire Sect get away with it. We must avenge our dead uncle and those innocent people."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew Mo Han’s determination and also knew that they really had no better choice now.

"Okay, let's go to the Tianyuan Empire again." Luo Chen said. He knew that this action would definitely be full of dangers, but he still decided to take the risk with Mo Han.

"Well, let's go together." Qingshuang also said. She knew that they must unite as one to defeat the powerful enemy.

The three of them discussed and decided to go to the Tianyuan Empire again to investigate the forces behind the Blood Demon Sect.

The next morning, the three of them left the Loose Cultivator Alliance and set out again on the road to the Tianyuan Empire.

Along the way, they kept a high level of vigilance, fearing that they would encounter any danger again. As they hurried on their way, they discussed the next plan.

"Where should we start our investigation when we go to the Tianyuan Empire this time?" Luo Chen asked. He felt that they needed a clear goal in order to conduct the investigation more effectively.

"We can start from the Imperial Palace." Mo Han said, "When we were in the Imperial Palace, we found some clues about the ultimate secret of the Blood Vampire Sect. Maybe we can find a breakthrough from there."

"The palace is heavily guarded. It may not be easy for us to enter the palace." Qingshuang said. She was worried that they would be discovered by the palace guards.

"We can find a way to sneak in." Mo Han said. He already had a preliminary plan, but it needed further improvement.

"Okay, let's go to the Tianyuan Empire first." Luo Chen said. He knew that it was useless to say more now, and he could only take it one step at a time. After several days of traveling, the three finally arrived at the Tianyuan Empire again. The Tianyuan Empire was still prosperous, but the three felt that it was full of dangers.

Instead of heading directly to the palace, they first found an inn to stay in so that they could better plan.

"What should we do now?" Luo Chen asked. He felt that they needed a careful plan to enter the palace smoothly.

"Let's go to the vicinity of the palace to investigate the situation first." Mo Han said. He planned to find out the guard situation of the palace first, and then formulate a specific action plan.

"Yes, I agree." Qingshuang nodded. She also felt that it would be safer to investigate the situation first.

After a brief discussion, the three decided to split up and go to the vicinity of the palace to investigate the situation.

Luo Chen was responsible for observing the overall layout and guarding situation of the palace, Qingshuang was responsible for exploring the streets and alleys around the palace, and Mo Han was responsible for collecting intelligence about the palace.

The three of them split up and launched their own investigations.

Luo Chen came to a tall building near the imperial palace. He carefully observed the layout of the palace and found that the guards of the palace were indeed very strict, with almost no blind spots.

Qingshuang shuttled through the streets and alleys around the palace. She found that the residents around the palace seemed to be very secretive about the affairs of the palace and did not dare to talk about it easily.

Mo Han was seeking information in some pubs and teahouses near the palace. He found that some strange things seemed to have happened in the palace recently, but he had not yet found out what they were.

After a day of investigation, the three met again at the inn and shared their findings.

"The guards at the palace are indeed very strict. It may not be an easy task to enter the palace directly." Luo Chen said, and he told Mo Han and Qing Shuang what he had observed.

"The residents around the palace seem to be very secretive about the affairs of the palace and dare not talk about it easily. This means that something unusual must have happened in the palace." Qingshuang said, and she told Luo Chen and Mo Han what she had discovered.

"I've heard that some strange things seem to have happened in the palace recently, but I haven't found out what they are specifically." Mo Han said. He told Luo Chen and Qing Shuang the information he had collected.

The three analyzed their findings and realized that the secrets of the Tianyuan Empire's palace were far more complicated than they had imagined.

"What should we do now?" Luo Chen asked. He felt that they needed a more careful plan to enter the palace smoothly.

"We can't force our way in, we have to find a way to sneak in." Mo Han said. He already had a preliminary plan, but it needed further improvement.

"How do we get in?" Qingshuang asked. She felt that they had no identity now, and it might not be an easy task to sneak into the palace.

"We can disguise ourselves as palace guards." Mo Han said. He felt that this was the only feasible solution for them at the moment.

"Disguised as guards?" Luo Chen frowned. "We don't have guard uniforms or identities. How can we disguise ourselves?"

"We can find a way to get the guards' uniforms and identities." Mo Han said. He already had a preliminary plan, but it needed further improvement.

"Okay, let's first find a way to get the guards' uniforms and identities." Luo Chen said. He knew that they could only take things one step at a time.

The three of them discussed it again and decided to first find a way to get the uniforms and identities of the palace guards, and then formulate a specific action plan.

"Disguise as a guard?" Luo Chen frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, making a "thump thump" sound, which was very similar to his chaotic thoughts at the moment. "This method doesn't sound reliable. We don't have the guards' uniforms or their badges. How can we pretend?"

"There's always a way to get the clothes and badges." Mo Han smiled confidently, with a cunning gleam in his eyes. "I've been in the palace for a while, and I'm familiar with the terrain. I know a place where we might be able to find what we need."

"Oh? Where?" Qingshuang became interested, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Mo Han with burning eyes.

"There is an abandoned warehouse in the southwest corner of the palace. Few people go there." Mo Han lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone could hear him. "There are some old guard uniforms piled there. Although they are a bit damaged, they should still be usable after repair. As for the waist badges..." He paused, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "We can 'borrow' them."

"Borrow?" Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "How do you borrow?"

"That depends on our 'acting skills'." Mo Han blinked and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and saw a bit of helplessness and expectation in each other's eyes. They knew that Mo Han always had some strange ideas in his mind, and although they sometimes sounded unreliable, they often had unexpected effects.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Luo Chen sighed, agreeing with Mo Han's plan. "However, we have to formulate a detailed action plan first to ensure that there are no mistakes."

"Of course." Mo Han nodded. The three of them sat together and began to discuss the specific details of the action.

As night fell, the Tianyuan Empire Palace was shrouded in silence. Three dark shadows appeared silently near the abandoned warehouse in the southwest corner of the palace like ghosts.

"This is it." Mo Han pointed to the dilapidated building not far away and whispered, "I'll go in and take a look first. You wait here for me."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded. They hid behind a big tree and watched the movements around them vigilantly.

Mo Han was agile and arrived at the door of the warehouse in a few jumps. He gently pushed open the half-closed door, and a musty smell hit him. The warehouse was pitch black, with only a few rays of moonlight shining through the broken window, barely able to make out some outlines.

Mo Han carefully searched the warehouse and soon found several sets of worn-out guard uniforms. He carefully checked them and found that although these uniforms were a little damaged, they were still intact and could be worn with a little repair.

"Good luck." Mo Han was secretly happy. He put away the clothes and prepared to leave the warehouse. At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, as if someone was approaching.

Mo Han was startled and quickly hid behind a pile of debris. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door of the warehouse. (End of this chapter)
