“Still not enough?” Qing Shihua was genuinely frightened as she looked at Ye Wushuang. “What else do you plan to do?”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Wang Xing beside him.
“No way…” Wang Xing was truly terrified.
“You’re not thinking of storming into the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace and causing more chaos, are you?”
Wang Xing immediately shook his head vigorously, denying the idea. “No, no, absolutely not! I can get into the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace, but the guards there are all at the initial level of the Yuanfu Realm, and there are at least ten of them.”
“Even if the Ningmai-level guards are lured away, ten Yuanfu-level guards are far too many for just the four of us,” he continued.
“Master Ye, I think we should find a place to hide and wait for the Yuanfu-level guards at the Heaven-Numbered Secret Palace to leave. Then we can rush in, and if we find nothing, we retreat immediately. Let’s not do anything rash now…”
Wang Xing’s words were cut short as he looked at Ye Wushuang’s calm expression and realized it was futile to argue. Ye Wushuang had made up his mind to cause a major disturbance here.
“Follow me!” Ye Wushuang said resolutely.
Wang Xing was extremely familiar with the underground palace complex, and as a Tianji Mansion disciple of no small standing, he encountered no significant obstacles along the way. With dozens of Ningmai-level and more than a dozen Yuanfu-level disciples from various great families on the run, the guards of the Tianji Mansion were already overwhelmed.
Gradually, they moved from the eastern side of the town to the southern side. There, against the mountain wall, stood nine palaces connected together, exuding an air of grandeur and majesty.
“This is the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace,” Wang Xing announced.
Outside the main gate of the palace, two figures stood guard, both at the first level of the Yuanfu Realm. This alone indicated that the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace was more heavily guarded than the Human-Numbered Secret Palace.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang nodded and raised his sword, preparing to move forward.
“No, no, no…” Wang Xing quickly stopped him. “If you kill these two now, the other Yuanfu-level guards inside will immediately notice.”
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Xing smiled and said, “Watch this!”
Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu, the sisters, exchanged puzzled glances. Although Wang Xing was under Ye Wushuang’s control, his current demeanor seemed almost… gleeful at the prospect of undermining the Tianji Mansion.
Wang Xing straightened his clothes and led Qing Shihua, Qing Shiyu, and Ye Wushuang to the front of the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace.
“Prince Wang Xing!” the two guards at the gate greeted him.
One of them said, “We heard that the disciples captured in the Human-Numbered Secret Palace have escaped and that Wang Yunjie was killed?”
Wang Xing feigned a look of distress and said, “Yes, but that’s none of your concern. You two must guard the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace and not leave your posts!”
The other guard leaned in with a sly grin, “Wang Xing, I know you and Wang Yunjie never got along. Now that he’s dead, no one can hold you back. You must be thrilled, right?”
Wang Xing glanced around furtively before leaning in closer to the two guards and said with a smirk, “You have no idea. When I saw Wang Yunjie’s body cut into pieces, I was overjoyed…”
The two guards laughed heartily. The Tianji Mansion was vast and powerful, and internal strife was no secret.
Although they were not aligned with Wang Xing, they had long been annoyed by Wang Yunjie, who had always acted arrogantly, relying on his status as the nephew of Elder Wang Jianmu.
With a sly smile, Wang Xing pulled out two talismans and, without warning, slapped them onto the guards. The two Yuanfu-level guards immediately stiffened, standing stock-still, unable to move or speak. Their eyes, wide with disbelief, stared at Wang Xing as if to ask, “What are you doing?”
