But just as Lei Tianxiong turned his head, he found that there was nothing behind him except a large shadow of darkness.
"Brother Lei, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Bai couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"I felt as if someone was staring at me earlier, and I felt uncomfortable all over," Lei Tianxiong looked around and frowned.
Zhang Bai also looked carefully and said, "You're just being paranoid. There's no one here."
Lei Tianxiong felt strange. He clearly felt a chill on his back, as if there were eyes watching him in the darkness, but suddenly there was nothing.
"Maybe," he said.
"Let's go."
After Lei Tianxiong confirmed that there was indeed no one, he relaxed a little.
The two of them set off again towards the depths of the palace.
At this time, inside a side hall of the palace.
Dongfang Yuan sat in his seat, and a shadow guard below reported, "Master, two Law Manifestation Realm peak experts have infiltrated the palace late at night with malicious intent. Should we suppress them immediately?"
The eyes that Lei Tianxiong felt just now belonged to this shadow guard.
The shadow guard's concealment technique was extremely strong, especially hiding in the darkness at night. If he didn't want to be exposed, even someone at the same level would find it difficult to detect him.
"Oh?"
"Two Law Manifestation Realm peak experts?"
Dongfang Yuan heard this and a hint of amusement appeared on his face.
He immediately spread his spiritual power. Now that he had reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Venerable Realm, his spiritual power instantly enveloped every corner of the palace.
Sure enough, in a corner of the palace, he discovered Zhang Bai and Lei Tianxiong.
"Hmm?"
"There's another aura."
"It's actually at the level of the Heavenly Venerable Realm. It seems that a big rat has come in."
"Hehe."
At this moment, Dongfang Yuan also discovered the aura of a Heavenly Venerable Realm in another part of the palace.
Although he concealed himself well, he couldn't escape Dongfang Yuan's perception.
"Don't kill them for now."
"Let them come in. Also, inform General Fei Peng. Leave that Heavenly Venerable Realm rat to him."
"Remember, don't kill him all at once. I want him alive!" Dongfang Yuan spoke to the people below.
"Yes, Master!"
For a while, the entire side hall echoed with four or five voices, all of them shadow guards hidden in the surrounding corners.
These ten shadow guards were Dongfang Yuan's surveillance eyes. Unless their cultivation level far surpassed theirs, it would be difficult for anyone to detect their presence.
...
After Dongfang Yuan gave the order, the other shadow guards also cleared the way, allowing Lei Tianxiong and Zhang Bai to successfully reach the front of the hall.
The two of them leaned against the window and saw Dongfang Yuan alone, reviewing documents inside.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. It seems that there really isn't a Heavenly Venerable Realm expert in the Heavenly Evolution Dynasty," Zhang Bai said with a relaxed expression.
"Otherwise, we would have been discovered and caused a huge commotion when we came all the way to the deep palace," Lei Tianxiong said, his face also relaxed.
They encountered no obstacles along the way and successfully arrived at this palace. Obviously, no one noticed them, otherwise how could they have exposed Dongfang Yuan to danger?
"Since that's the case, let's make our move."
"Kill Dongfang Yuan, then immediately retreat and leave the imperial city!" Zhang Bai said with a light smile.
"Good!"
"Let's do it!"
Lei Tianxiong made a decisive decision and, together with Zhang Bai, broke open the window and rushed into the hall.
The aura of the Law Manifestation Realm peak spread out, their hands emitting a spiritual glow, containing a force that could move mountains and seas, directly grabbing towards Dongfang Yuan's neck.
"Die!"
Lei Tianxiong sneered.
Killing a useless prince was as easy as crushing an ant, and he didn't need to exert much effort.
Zhang Bai stood still with confidence, blocking the way. He didn't even bother to make a move against Dongfang Yuan.
Pound!
And at this moment, Thunder Tianxiong's palm was only three inches away from Dongfang Yuan's neck, but no matter what, he couldn't grab it.
It was as if there was an invisible force emanating from Dongfang Yuan's body, protecting him, preventing Thunder Tianxiong's hand from making any progress.
"How is this possible?!"
Thunder Tianxiong's face was shocked.
What the hell is going on?!
Why can't my hand reach in?
Zhang Bai looked at the sudden change in front of him and was also a little confused.
Thunder Tianxiong can't even kill a useless person?
What a joke!
In the next second, Zhang Bai also immediately rushed forward, gathering strength in his fingertips, aiming at Dongfang Yuan's face.
However, the result was the same as Thunder Tianxiong's, the strength couldn't reach within three feet.
Moreover, their hands seemed to be stuck, unable to break free.
"How is this possible?!"
"You..."
Zhang Bai's heart trembled greatly, immediately realizing that it wasn't their problem, but Dongfang Yuan!
This guy is pretending to be weak and catching people off guard!
Dongfang Yuan had a calm expression on his face, closed the folder in his hand, and looked up at the two of them with a relaxed smile. "You are Zhang Bai, the vice hall master of Evil Moon Palace, and you are Thunder Tianxiong, the elder of Burnt Heaven Island."
"Why did you two come to my Tianyan Imperial Palace so late at night? What do you want to do?"
"Dongfang Yuan, how is it possible for you to have this kind of power?"
Zhang Bai didn't have time to beat around the bush with Dongfang Yuan. At this moment, he was full of shock and confusion. Where did this power on Dongfang Yuan come from?
"Why?"
"Why do you all think that I am weak?"
"Can't you think of me as stronger?"
"You came late at night just to see the strength of my Heavenly Evolution Dynasty, right?"
"Since that's the case, I will satisfy you."
Dongfang Yuan's pupils flashed, and a force shook out, sending Zhang Bai and Thunder Tianxiong flying to the center of the hall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Zhang Bai and Thunder Tianxiong stood still in their original positions, and suddenly many figures appeared around them.
Shadow Guards, Golden Armor Guards, and more than twenty peak Law Manifestation Realm experts surrounded them in the hall.
In addition, Iron Poyun and Tianyu Wang, who had rushed over upon receiving the news, also immediately blocked the entrance of the hall.
The aura emanating from these people was not concealed at all. The aura of more than twenty peak Law Manifestation Realm experts directly made Zhang Bai and Thunder Tianxiong's backs drenched in sweat, and their faces instantly turned extremely pale.
In the middle, the auras of Tianyu Wang and Iron Poyun also spread out.
The aura of the Heavenly Venerable Realm spread out, causing Zhang Bai and Thunder Tianxiong's hearts to surge with shock, their pupils dilated, unable to believe everything in front of them.
"Iron Poyun, Shi Beitian, you both actually broke through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm!"
"And these peak Law Manifestation Realm experts! This... how is this possible?!"
"How can your Heavenly Evolution Dynasty have such a foundation? This is impossible!"
Zhang Bai and Thunder Tianxiong were going crazy.
The strength displayed by the Heavenly Evolution Dynasty at this moment was too terrifying.
With such a lineup in the Northern Domain, apart from the dominant forces, there was probably no other force that dared to confront them head-on.
But what puzzled them was that these peak Law Manifestation Realm experts of the Heavenly Evolution Dynasty had never appeared before, all of them were new faces.
And Tianyu Wang and Iron Poyun actually reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm!
This was even more unbelievable!
The scene in front of them had a great impact on their hearts. Because it was too shocking, their expressions seemed to petrify for a moment.
If they had known that the Heavenly Evolution Dynasty had such a strong foundation, how could they have joined forces with the Great Dream Dynasty and paid attention to them?
Outside the palace at this time, on a rooftop, a masked figure in black clothes hid in a dark corner. Although there was some distance between him and the palace, with his cultivation at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, he could clearly see what was happening in the side hall.
