There were indeed more than fifty people, but their condition couldn’t be described as good because they were injured here and there.

Those fifty people were the ones who entered the Forbidden Forest together with Bai Guowei, Wu Shun, and Shao Yaoting, but their goal was to deal with the beasts that escaped from the core. If possible, then they should kill all the beasts, but if the beasts were too strong, then they just needed to lure them to the core so they would be able to create a new barrier to trap them.

Apart from that task, those people also had to protect the participants from Dong Lang and Wu Li who were still in the forest, and the task was certainly not easy for them.

It could be said that those people managed to lure the dangerous beasts back to the core, but it wasn’t as easy as when they were trying to lure a bunch of rats into a trap.

No, beasts were not the same as rats. They were much bigger and stronger than rats, so the men needed more effort to send the beasts back to their core.

Bai Chen could only observe from his hiding spot when those people reported to the two Emperors about the current situation in the forest. They said that the dangerous beasts were heading towards the core right now, and that was why they had to get ready to set up a new barrier around the core.

The brown-haired Prince could guess that those people were the strongest in Dong Lang and Wu Li, but they still couldn’t handle the beasts without getting injured on their bodies. Some even looked like they were dying, and it showed that the battle between those people and the beasts was fierce.

Seeing that, Bai Chen chose to hide his body behind a large tree while gripping Wu Jiang tightly. For some reason, he didn’t want to be noticed by the Emperor and the others, and he could only hide behind the trunk of a big tree.

.....

Wu Jinhai had left him, and the masked man didn’t even tell the others that he was leaving first. Bai Chen didn’t know how Wu Jinhai could leave the forest so easily, and he only knew that he felt lonely now even if his ‘father’ and ‘brother’ were there with him.

He wanted to remain unnoticed, but he almost jumped in surprise when he could feel a sudden ‘earthquake’ in the forest. No, it wasn’t an actual earthquake, but it was just a group of gigantic beasts running together towards the forest core causing the ground to shake as if an earthquake had occurred there.

Bai Chen had to hold his breath as he watched how the dangerous beasts dashed toward the core before several people immediately made some movements with their hands, and the beasts could no longer escape from the core anymore.

The brown-haired prince realized that the men had just finished setting up another barrier to imprison the beasts within the forest core, and after they could see how the beasts growled furiously when they couldn’t escape anymore, the people heaved a sigh of relief before they dropped their bodies to the ground.

It was easy to guess that those people had spent all their energy fighting the beasts as well as trying to lure them to the core, and the people who had just finished setting up the barrier probably felt the same way because setting up a strong barrier required energy too.

Bai Chen was still hiding behind a tree, and in front of him was a group of gigantic beasts that looked angry as they were once again trapped within the barrier.

Bai Chen couldn’t even name the beasts, but he still looked at them with fear in his eyes, knowing that they were extremely deadly. At this time, his position was very close to the beast, but he knew that he was safe because the beast was trapped by an invisible barrier.

Without anyone noticing, Bai Chen also heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t fight the beasts, but he witnessed how ferocious the beasts were, and even his legs were still shaking even though the drama in the Forbidden Forest had finally ended.

He was still hiding behind a tree, but then he heard Emperor Bai Guowei suddenly give an order, “Let’s go back to Dong Lang now. There’s no way we can continue the Beast Hunting Event in this situation.”

Bai Chen wanted to scream to show that he agreed with the Emperor, but he managed to hold himself back when he realized that it was better for him to remain silent in his position.

Of course, there was no way they could continue the Beast Hunting Event after what happened tonight. For unknown reasons, the beasts managed to escape the barrier, and one of them even killed the daughter of the Black Werewolf Clan.

Even Crown Prince Bai Renshu was still angry, and he continued to glare at his father even if he stopped blaming his father verbally after others arrived in the area.

Bai Chen knew that matters between Bai Guowei and Bai Renshu would become more complicated after this, but he knew that it was none of his business as he could only stay where he was.

No one seemed to disagree with Bai Guowei’s suggestion, and the people were getting ready to leave the Forbidden Forest. Bai Chen also wanted to leave the dangerous forest, but before he could even move from his spot, he could hear someone speaking.

“What are you going to do about my daughter’s death, Your Majesty?”

Surprisingly, it was not Bai Renshu who questioned the Emperor of Dong Lang, but it was the head of the Black Werewolf Clan who directly asked about his daughter who had lost her life in the Forbidden Forest.

It seemed that the words uttered by Shao Yaoting sounded like thunder to the ears of others in the area as they immediately turned to the man wearing the black hanfu.

They fought the beasts before luring them to the core, and they were too tired to look at the corpse not far from where the two Emperors were standing side by side.

It seemed that they did not know that Shao Meihui was killed, and now their expressions became even tenser as they realized that it was indeed the daughter of the Black Werewolf Clan who had lost her life during the event.

They all knew of the tension between the White Werewolf and the Black Werewolf Clan all along, and they could guess that the young girl’s death would only worsen their relationship.

The outsiders could only be silent, and Bai Chen didn’t dare to make a sound in this situation either. All he could do was wait for how the Emperor would answer Shao Yaoting’s question.

Bai Guowei looked like he had just received a heavy blow after hearing Shao Yaoting’s question. It was clear that the two men were hostile to each other, but they would definitely not fight to the death in front of that many people from Dong Lang and Wu Li, and that was why the two men tried to hold back.

“You don’t have to worry about that, Lord Shao,” Emperor Bai Guowei finally answered Shao Yaoting’s question. “We will carry out further investigations into what happened in this forest during the event, and we will also find the culprit that caused your daughter’s death. The Dong Lang Imperial Palace will also be in charge of your daughter’s funeral, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Emperor Bai Guowei tried to convince them that he would handle this matter properly, but to his surprise, Shao Yaoting suddenly laughed bitterly after hearing the words of consolation.

“You told me not to worry, didn’t you?” Shao Yaoting asked again, and his tone was a bit full of sarcasm. “You only said that the Dong Lang Imperial Palace would be in charge of my daughter’s funeral, but you dared to tell me not to worry.”

It was clear that Shao Yaoting was mocking Bai Guowei, but Bai Guowei just clenched his fists without saying anything.

Seeing how the Emperor was trying to control his emotions so hard, Shao Yaoting smirked before he spoke again, “Listen to me, Your Majesty. I will only stop worrying if the Imperial Palace will also be responsible for my daughter’s death. I will stop worrying if you admit that you are indeed the one who killed my daughter. Can you do it, Your Majesty?”
