Deep into the night, like stillness itself, the grand Imperial Palace lay like a colossal beast, prostrate at the heart of the Capital, feigning sleep while spying on the nation and its people.
Before the Big Front Gate, eight Silver Armored Guards stood in two rows, guarding the first gateway to the Forbidden Area inside the Imperial Palace.
Even these gatekeepers possessed True Realm cultivation.
In fact, since ancient times the Imperial Palace has been deemed a Forbidden Area, not only because it is the dwelling of the Emperor but also due to the hidden Dragons and concealed Tigers within, whose mysterious powers are far more terrifying than those of the Imperial Spirit Palace or the Black Prison.
Bathed in moonlight, which was like gauze, an indistinct figure slowly approached through the evening haze.
