Yun Fan's soul and mental strength had been forged through countless trials and tribulations. His foundation was unimaginably sturdy. In terms of willpower, how could these imperial guards compare to him?
Just the Spiritual Impact from earlier had nearly caused these people's souls to scatter.
And this was the result of Yun Fan intentionally holding back. Otherwise, they would already be a dozen or so cold corpses by now.
"You're about to die, yet you're still boasting. Guards, hurry up and kill him!"
Only Yun Fan and the guards were able to sense the confrontation just now. Naturally, Xiao Li was unable to sense it at all. She was still clamoring at this moment.
She did not mind blowing the matter up. The bigger the matter, the better. After all, it had nothing to do with her. She would be happy if Yun Fan was directly slaughtered by the guards.
However, the guards acted as if they were facing a great enemy. In that instant earlier, they had already sensed Yun Fan's terror.
The square-faced guard signalled to one of the guards behind him to send a signal for help as he said to Yun Fan, "May I ask for your name?"
He knew that if Yun Fan wanted to kill them, it would only take an instant for all of them to lose their lives!
This made him feel extremely uneasy. The imperial palace might be under serious threat, which was why he had ordered his subordinates to send a signal for help.
As long as they had ten breaths of time, the imperial commander in the central palace, an expert of the Great Void Ancient Realm, would rush over to save them.
"Yun Fan."
Yun Fan replied indifferently before adding, "There's no need to send a signal. I've only come here to see the third prince. I don't have any ill intentions."
The square-faced guard was startled once more. He never thought that their every move would be able to escape Yun Fan's eyes.
He had a strong feeling that even if the imperial commander they worshipped personally came, he would not be Yun Fan's opponent.
"Do you have the third prince's token?"
The square-faced guard asked in a deep voice. Even so, he still decided to stall for time and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Yun Fan shook his head helplessly. Thinking about it, Ling Xing seemed to have given him a jade pendant before he left, but he didn't know if it was useful.
Upon having this thought, Yun Fan took out the jade pendant from his Sumeru Ring and said, "This is a gift from your Third Prince. Do you recognize it?"
As he spoke, he tossed the jade pendant over.
The guard took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully. His face instantly changed.
"Tsk, you casually took out an ordinary jade pendant to deceive people. Do you think everyone in the world is as stupid as you?"
Xiao Li couldn't help but mock.
Unexpectedly, after the square-faced guard finished reading, he knelt down on one knee in front of Yun Fan and said solemnly, "I didn't know that the Third Prince's distinguished guest was coming. I deserve to die. Please forgive me!"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head.
Behind him, the remaining dozen guards also knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully to Yun Fan.
This jade pendant was the third prince's personal item. When the third prince achieved great success in his cultivation, he took it from the depths of the Nine Underworlds in the northernmost part of the continent. He loved it so much that he couldn't bear to part with it. They didn't expect him to give it to this young man.
This young man must be someone that the third prince thought highly of. Naturally, they didn't dare to disrespect him.
When Wei Xin and Xiao Li saw this, they were completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, all the palace guards were actually kneeling down in front of Yun Fan. This was simply too shocking.
These palace guards were all arrogant people. Other than the ruler of the Desolate Star and a few princes and princesses, they didn't bow to the rest of the royal family.
Now, they were kneeling down in front of Yun Fan. It was simply unbelievable!
"That, that is really the third prince's token? You, you didn't see wrongly, did you? "
Xiao Li was completely dumbfounded. She had been constantly mocking Yun Fan. She didn't expect Yun Fan to be a friend of the third prince, Ling Xing.
After a moment of silence, she still didn't give up and said, "Maybe he found this jade pendant somewhere!"
No one answered his question. The square-faced guard looked at Xiao Li as if he was looking at an idiot. What kind of person was the Third Prince? How could he have really picked up the jade pendant and let Yun Fan pick it up?
Her incessant slandering from the side almost caused them to offend an important person.
He had already secretly decided that after he made arrangements for Yun Fan, he would capture this b * tch and let her have a taste of torture!
Xiao Li trembled from head to toe when she felt their icy cold gaze. She could not help but feel terrified. She did not know how she had offended these guards but she knew that as long as she had fallen into their hands, she could forget about leaving this place alive!
At this moment, a pleasant-sounding male voice rang out from within the Imperial Palace. It was filled with pleasant surprise.
"Yun Fan?"
When Yun Fan heard this voice, he also found it familiar. Immediately, he looked in the direction of the voice. It was the third prince, Ling Xing.
"Greetings to the third prince."
"Greetings to the third prince!"
Seeing the third prince arrive, everyone in the surroundings knelt down in unison.
However, the third prince, Ling Xing, ignored the crowd and quickly walked in front of Yun Fan. With a look of surprise in his eyes, he said, "Yun Fan, I really didn't expect you to come so quickly!"
"Why, am I not welcome?"
Yun Fan replied with a smile.
"What are you saying!"
The third prince, Ling Xing, pretended to be angry and put on a straight face. Immediately after, he covered Yun Fan's hands with both hands and smiled sincerely, "Brother Yun Fan's heroism that day really left a deep impression on me. I am truly honored that you have come to find me!
Come to my palace first and we can talk slowly. "
As he spoke, he extended his hand toward the palace and gestured for Yun Fan to enter.
However, Yun Fan did not move. He merely glanced at his surroundings indifferently.
Ling Xing frowned and looked at the palace guards who were kneeling on the ground. In a deep voice, he said, "You have mistreated my friend?"
Feeling the coldness in the third prince's words, the palace guards trembled.
The square-faced guard trembled as he raised his head. He cupped his fists and said, "This lowly one had eyes but failed to see. Earlier, we used our killing intent to attack Lord Yun Fan but was blocked by Lord Yun Fan. This lowly one deserves to die!"
Ling Xing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He naturally knew how powerful this group of guards were. However, Yun Fan was actually able to remain unscathed under the killing intent of these guards. Moreover, he was even able to injure everyone. This caused Ling Xing to be involuntarily shocked.
In his heart, he looked at Yun Fan in a new light.
Yun Fan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it to heart. Then, he turned his head and looked at the dumbstruck Wei Xin. He pointed at the latter and said, "Let me introduce you. This is a new friend of mine. He has a good character and would like to meet you."
Wei Xin reacted and looked gratefully at Yun Fan. Then, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "I am the eldest grandson of the Barren Cloud City's Wei Clan. I have specially come to visit Your Highness!"
Hearing this, Ling Xing knew the purpose of Wei Xin's visit. He smiled faintly and said, "Since my friend Yun Fan is acting as a guarantor, let's go in and have a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wei Xin was overjoyed. With the third prince's words, his position as the young master of the clan was secured.
"This is …" Ling Xing noticed Xiao Li at the side. "Is she your friend as well?"
Yun Fan didn't even look at her. He shook his head slightly and replied, "She is just a shrew."
