Wang Xing chuckled and said, “These are Binding Talismans. Those at the initial level of the Yuanfu Realm absolutely cannot withstand the power of these talismans.”
“Kindly stay here and guard the entrance properly while I go in and take a look,” he continued, moving the two statue-like figures to the sides. From a distance, they appeared to be diligent guards, standing motionless.
At that very moment, a group of people arrived abruptly. Ten late-stage Ningmai-level warriors, clad in black robes and exuding an imposing aura, approached. The leader, a young man, immediately bowed upon seeing Wang Xing and asked, “Prince Wang Xing, why are you here?”
“Rubbish!” Wang Xing retorted without any sign of panic. “With the Human-Numbered Secret Palace being raided, of course I need to check if the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace is safe. Why are you here?”
The leading captain quickly explained, “We were ordered here by Elder Li Cun to enhance the security of the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace.”
Li Cun!
Upon hearing this name, Wang Xing’s expression turned slightly astonished.
“Is Elder Li Cun in the Heaven-Numbered Secret Palace?” he inquired.
The leading captain replied, “We don’t know about that. We were just ordered by several Stewards, saying it was on Elder Li Cun’s command.”
“Alright, I got it,” Wang Xing said. “Since that’s the case, you ten stay here and guard the entrance. Kill anyone suspicious who approaches without mercy. I’ll take these few and guard inside the palace.”
“Yes, sir!”
The ten men quickly split into two rows, standing on either side of the palace gate, their eyes scanning the surrounding streets.
Wang Xing hurriedly signaled Ye Wushuang to bring the two immobilized Yuanfu-level guards with them. Pushing open the main hall’s door, they entered and placed the two figures to the side. Wang Xing then carefully closed the door.
Looking at the two, Wang Xing couldn’t help but say, “I’ve wasted so much effort to immobilize these two.”
With that, he didn’t hesitate and snapped their necks. He had initially planned to use the two immobilized Yuanfu-level guards as statues to guard the entrance of the main hall. However, he hadn’t expected that the Heaven-Numbered Secret Palace would react so quickly and send people to check on the Earth-Numbered Secret Palace.
After disposing of the two bodies, Wang Xing turned to Ye Wushuang and said, “Let’s not go to the Heaven-Numbered Secret Palace, shall we?”
“Hm?”
“That Elder Li Cun is the right-hand man of Elder Wang Jianmu and possesses the strength of the Tiangang Realm. He must be in the Heaven-Numbered Secret Palace. If we go there, we’ll surely die.”
Ye Wushuang nodded silently and looked at the scene inside the main hall. At this point, Wang Xing was completely out of ideas. It seemed that Ye Wushuang didn’t care at all, even knowing that someone of the Tiangang Realm was there.
“Go check how many initial Yuanfu-level people are in here,” Ye Wushuang said directly.
“Sure,” Wang Xing replied, entering the main hall.
Ye Wushuang then turned to Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu and said, “You two check if there are any other passages besides this main hall that can lead us out of here.”
“Okay,” they nodded.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang stood in front of the main hall’s door, with spiritual patterns emerging from his palm. He wasn’t setting up any killing arrays; he was merely creating containment arrays and shielding spells to prevent the noise inside from arousing suspicion from outside.
Then, Ye Wushuang moved to the center of the main hall and set up more spiritual arrays, with the patterns hidden within the pillars of the hall.
After a while, Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu returned and said, “There are no other passages. The Earth-Numbered Secret Palace is connected to the mountain wall at the back, and there are no exits on either side.”
A little later, Wang Xing came back with a rather grim expression.
“How is it?” Ye Wushuang asked.
“There are twelve Yuanfu-level individuals and twenty-four late-stage Ningmai-level individuals. Among the twelve Yuanfu-level ones, ten are at the first to third levels, and two are at the fourth level of the Yuanfu Realm,” Wang Xing reported.
Upon hearing this, Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu’s faces also turned pale. With such a formidable guarding force, it would be suicidal for just the four of them to take action.
Ye Wushuang pondered for a moment and then said, “Let’s move.”
Huh?
This time, not only was Wang Xing stunned, but Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu were also taken aback. Twelve Yuanfu-level individuals. Twenty-four Ningmai-level individuals. Were they really going to take action against such odds?
