The Amethyst Palace was the peak of power in the Glorious Amethyst Star. It was also the palace where Princess Zi Yao lived. She always controlled it, and it was also her cultivating place.
However, today, it was different. Two rows of guards stood on the purple crystal stairs in front of the Amethyst Palace.
Behind the guards, a Third Sky of King God Realm warrior was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. His aura was long and deep.
That warrior was Ao Gera's retinue. He had come back with Shi Yan from the outside world. Shi Yan had seen him before.
Frowning discreetly, Shi Yan walked to the Amethyst Palace with his normal visage. All of a sudden, the two rows of guards standing on the stairs blocked his way. They didn't look friendly. One of them pitched his voice. "Stop!"
The two rows of guards had fourteen people in total, seven on each side. All of them were holding silver spears, which emitted a sharp, cold light.
Fourteen pairs of eyes gazed at Shi Yan. Their vigilance was clear at first glance. Their long spears shivered slightly, releasing a flow of extraordinary energy.
All of them had the True God Realm cultivation base. Half of them had reached the Peak of True God Realm. Their auras were much thicker than Shi Yan's.
ShiYan's face changed. He coldly harrumphed and took out the jade token from his waist. "The Princess gave me this jade token personally, allowing me to come and go freely in the Amethyst Palace. Has the Amethyst Palace changed its master after I left for a few days?"
When the guard saw the jade token, his face was a little strange. He didn't answer but looked at the man behind him.
The old man with his eyes closed suddenly opened his mouth, his voice cold and indifferent. "The Princess has gone to the Dark Firmament Star to ask for justice from His Majesty. Before she left, she told us that Ao Gera would be in charge of the Glorious Amethyst Star when she wasn't here. At this moment, Ao Gera is cultivating in the Amethyst Palace. No one is allowed to disturb him. Before he got here, he told us that no one is allowed to intrude the Amethyst Palace before he woke up. "
"Even with the jade token from the Princess, we can't get in?" Shi Yan snorted with a cold face. "Isn't the Princess the one who rules the Glorious Amethyst Star?"
"Impudent!" The old man shouted, releasing a sharp aura like a sharp sword. His closed eyes opened, gazing at the old man. "Of course, the Princess is the leader of the Glorious Amethyst Star. This will never change. However, the Princess isn't here. She told me that when she's not here, Ao Gera will take care of things for her. Right now, Ao Gera is cultivating in the Amethyst Palace. He is not to be disturbed. Whether you have the jade plate or not, you are not allowed to enter. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! "
When this person spoke, his voice was very loud. Many martial artists in the square heard him and could not help but gather around to watch.
Many cultivators from the other palaces also frowned and came out to see what was happening.
Not long after that, a muscular man of the Demon Clan, whom ShiYan had met before, also came out of a palace with his upper body bare.
As soon as he stuck his head out, he snorted and came to Shi Yan's side in an instant. He sneered at the old man who had shouted, "Ewen, although His Highness isn't here, it's not your place to interfere, is it? If you care about everything, why do you need me, the chief steward? "
The old man's face was solemn as he said seriously, "I'm protecting the Amethyst Palace for Ao Gera. I don't want low-realm warriors to get in and be torn into pieces by his God Domain while he's cultivating."
Then, the old man closed his eyes again, as if he didn't want to talk more with the Demon man.
The chief steward stood outside the Amethyst Palace, looking inside with a dark face. He seemed to release his energy to sense. After a while, he frowned, asking Shi Yan standing next to him. "Did you leave anything in there?"
"No." Shi Yan shook his head, his cold eyes paused on Ewen for a while, and said indifferently.
"Follow me. Her Highness has arranged something for you before she left." The beefy man of the Demon Clan turned around and walked toward the square. Shi Yan followed him.
"What's going on?" Behind the burly man, he asked in a probing manner.
"After Ao Gera returned, he said that he found the corpses of Bergh and Ante. But he didn't find Prince Du Feng." The Demon man hesitated for a while, then turned around. "The Princess was worried that Prince Du Feng was murdered. She went to the Dark Firmament Star to ask for an explanation. Before she left, she told Ao Gera to manage the Glorious Amethyst Star temporarily. In the past … it was the same. "
Shi Yan nodded, showing that he understood.
"You're not familiar with the Glorious Amethyst Star. Even if the Princess trusts you a lot, she won't let you manage the Glorious Amethyst Star. You'll mess it up, "explained the Demon man." The Princess favors you a lot. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given you the jade token. "
Shi Yan nodded again.
"This is the Purgatory Token that the Princess gave you. It's the certificate to go to the Extreme Purgatory Field." The Demon man was holding a token that wasn't made of gold or jade. He carefully handed it to Shi Yan, his face respectful.
His respect wasn't to Shi Yan, but to the Purgatory Token itself.
Shi Yan grabbed the token and focused on it. He found a White Bone Crown on the triangular token. Blood dripped from the crown, supported by some pale bones. Stroking the Purgatory Token, a brutal, bloodthirsty feeling rose in his heart. It seemed like countless resentful souls were screaming inside the token.
"His Majesty forged the Purgatory Token himself. The White Bone Crown is the emblem of the Royal Family of the divine nation," explained the Demon man solemnly.
Shi Yan nodded, closing his eyes and stroking the White Bone Crown on the token. He felt his Blood Qi soar. He couldn't control the desire to kill.
He was frightened. He didn't dare to sense more, hurrying to put the Purgatory Token into his Fantasy Sky Ring. Then, he asked, "What did the Princess tell me before she left?"
"She wants you to go to the Purgatory Star. The Extreme Purgatory Field is there. Also, this amethyst war chariot is given to you by the Princess." The beefy man pointed at a brand new amethyst war chariot in the distance, sparkling with a bright purple light. It was much more advanced than the other war chariots around. "The Extreme Purgatory Field is about to open. You can get in with this Purgatory Token. When you get to the Purgatory Star, you just need to show the token. Someone will receive you and explain the situation to you."
Shi Yan smiled, bending his body slightly. "Thank you, Chief Steward. May I know your name?"
"Ai Fu La." The Demon man hesitated for a while before forcing a smile. He told Shi Yan his name. His eyes moved as he contemplated for a while. All of a sudden, he lowered his voice. "Because of this Purgatory Token, the Princess and Ao Gera had a quarrel. My people accidentally overheard it."
Shi Yan was surprised. He paused for a while, then bowed to the man one more time, looking at him. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. You should be careful. The Princess favors you. Don't let her down. The quota to enter the Extreme Purgatory Field is very precious. The Princess has asked you to go there because she values you a lot. It's the time when the Princess needs help. I hope you can give her a strong support in the future, "said Ai Fu La with a serious face.
Apparently, he was loyal to Princess Zi Yao. He thought about Zi Yao wholeheartedly. If it was good for Zi Yao, as long as Zi Yao asked him to do it, he would do his best.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you again." Shi Yan said with a heavy tone. He got on the amethyst war chariot and found that the barriers and restrictions were all erased. He could use his Soul Consciousness to control the chariot.
He sent his Soul Consciousness to the soul platform of the amethyst war chariot. A star map emerged, which showed the location of the Glorious Amethyst Star. The Purgatory Star was also marked. The route of the chariot was clear.
At first glance, Shi Yan knew that Zi Yao had arranged everything for him before she left. She had even adjusted the star map. He didn't need to worry about anything else.
"You check it carefully. This war chariot has been changed by many people. I've met Ao Gera's men. They have adjusted this war chariot, too." Ai Fu La suddenly said something, as if he meant something.
Shi Yan was surprised. He released his Soul Consciousness to sense the energy fluctuation inside the war chariot. After a while, he smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a problem."
"Many of Her Highness' followers used to pledge their lives to serve the Princess. They wouldn't hesitate to go through water or tread on fire. But some people disappeared mysteriously, and I don't know why … "Afra mumbled in a low voice and turned to look at the direction of the Amethyst Palace.
Shi Yan's eyes changed as he was frightened.
When he had bid farewell to Bloody Slaughterer Cato, Cato had told him to be careful of Zi Yao. He said that many of her followers had disappeared inexplicably. He said that Zi Yao was an extremely dangerous character.
Thinking about what Ai Fu La had said, Shi Yan seemed to understand something as if an electric light had flashed across his mind.
"You should be careful." Ai Fu La didn't say more. He nodded and left.
Waiting until his figure disappeared, Shi Yan used his Soul Consciousness to drive the amethyst war chariot. It turned into a purple lightning strike, soaring up into the sky from the Glorious Amethyst Star.
The amethyst war chariot was made of amethyst, which was also a strange crystal that could carry the power of divine crystals. Each amethyst war chariot had divine crystals to support it. The moment the war chariot shot out energy, soaring up into the sky, Shi Yan, who had been observing the war chariot, suddenly felt something.
Standing on the war chariot, his line of sight fell on the Amethyst Palace. He gazed at a spacious balcony in the center of the palace.
On that balcony, the blonde Ao Gera was sitting cross-legged. A beam of faint energy fluctuated from his soul altar. He lifted his head, glancing at Shi Yan's war chariot.
Shi Yan and his line of sight were ten thousand meters apart, exchanging looks in the void.
Swoosh!
In the void, there seemed to be a spark bursting out. Within the spark, there seemed to be some kind of sharp aura that opposed each other.
ShiYan cracked a smile, his face cold and ruthless.
Ao Gera stood still, closing his eyes. His aura was calm and distant.
