Too many people could not enter the royal palace, otherwise, it would cause the royal family to misunderstand and think that they were here to usurp the throne. After a short discussion, other than Xiao Chen, Hu Sen, and Zhao Yunfei, there were also Zhao Kuo, Zhao Yunlong, Sun Wuneng, and two elders from the Zhao Clan and two elders from the Sun Clan.
Zhao Yunlong, Sun Wuneng, and the four elders were all Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts. Together with Zhao Kuo, who was at the peak of the Dragon Elephant Realm, they thought that it would be no problem for them to kill the Lion King with so many experts. They completely ignored the combat strength of Xiao Chen, who was only at the third level of the Blood Bear Realm.
This was a fatal oversight. Little did they know that Xiao Chen, who possessed the Fengsha Sword, was more than ten times stronger than the Lion King. The combat strength of the Fengsha Sword was equivalent to the combat strength of a peak-level Heavenly Dragon Realm expert. Even if Xiao Chen wanted to assassinate Ouyang Tiande, it would be as easy as flipping his palm, let alone Zhao Kuo and the others.
If they really reached the point where they had to fight, Xiao Chen would be a huge surprise. This surprise was enough to make the entire Fire Spirit City tremble!
The order of the people entering the royal palace was like this. Zhao Kuo, Zhao Yunlong, and Sun Wuneng walked at the front, followed by the four elders, followed by Hu Sen who was carrying Zhao Yunfei, and finally Xiao Chen and the other two.
Thousands of warriors at the entrance of the palace watched as Xiao Chen, Zhao Kuo, and the others passed through the gates of the palace and entered the courtyard of the royal palace. They walked towards the great hall of the royal palace. They all admired Xiao Chen's courage, but they didn't know why Xiao Chen insisted on entering the palace.
After entering the royal courtyard, Xiao Chen realized how magnificent the royal palace was. There were three halls in the front row of the royal palace, one main hall, and two side halls. The main hall was used by the king to face the civil and military officials. As for the two side halls, the left side hall was where the civil officials managed their documents, and the right side hall was where the generals deployed their troops.
Behind the three main halls, there were a few smaller floors for the palace guards and palace experts to live in. In the deepest part of the palace was the King's harem. The harem was where the King, his concubine, the Crown Prince, the Prince, the Princess, and some maids and eunuchs lived.
Xiao Chen held onto Dongfang Qing Wu's waist with his left hand, and held the wooden sword with his right hand, sticking closely to Hu Sen's back. As long as Hu Sen dared to run, Xiao Chen would not hesitate to stab the wooden sword into Hu Sen's heart. Xiao Chen had the ability and awareness to fight, and he was also an excellent ace killer. Assassination was his specialty.
After Da Huang entered the royal palace, his ears were always open and his perception was fully released. He sensed the hidden Dragon Elephant Realm in the royal palace, especially the experts above the Earth Dragon Realm. Soon, Da Huang sensed three experts whose cultivation was at least above the Dragon Elephant Realm. As for whether there were others, Da Huang could not sense them. After all, if experts above the Earth Dragon Realm deliberately restrained their aura, it would be difficult for Da Huang to detect them with his current strength.
"Big brother, there are at least three experts whose cultivation has reached the Dragon Elephant Realm or above in the royal palace." Da Huang transmitted his own discovery to Xiao Chen, reminding Xiao Chen to be careful.
"En."
Xiao Chen nodded to himself. He paused for a while before he added through telepathy, "Big Yellow, if you notice powerhouses from the Zhao family, the Sun family, and the imperial palace attacking us, counterattack at once and kill them without mercy!"
"That goes without saying. Whoever dares to harm us, we will kill them. If the king of the Qilin Kingdom doesn't know what's good for him and helps the Zhao Family to deal with us, we will even destroy the royal palace! Gagaga! "Da Huang transmitted his voice excitedly, as if the world was in chaos.
A group of people passed through a huge square in front of the palace and walked on a long white marble staircase. On both sides of the staircase stood two rows of royal palace guards. Their strength was not very strong, and the highest cultivation was only at the first level of the Blood Bear Realm. Seeing Zhao Kuo personally leading the team, they naturally did not dare to stop or question. They all knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Imperial Advisor Zhao!"
"En."
Zhao Kuo clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head and chest, and did not even look at the royal palace guards. He only gave a slight 'en' sound. Afterwards, he was too lazy to 'en' and directly walked past them majestically. The royal palace guards did not dare to stand up, and did not even dare to look at Zhao Kuo a second time.
The position of the Imperial Advisor in the royal palace was indeed extraordinary. Even at night, they could walk around the royal palace and have an audience with the king who was already resting. This was the privilege that the king granted to the four Imperial Advisors. This was a kind of trust from the king, and it made the four Imperial Advisors feel that the king was great.
Zhao Kuo and Zhao Yunlong had been secretly paying attention to the situation behind them. Once there was a chance to save Zhao Yunfei, they would not hesitate to make a move. However, they realized that Xiao Chen and Da Huang had been carefully controlling Hu Sen, and there was no flaw to attack. They had no choice but to give up their wishful thinking.
After going up the nine stone steps, Xiao Chen and the others finally arrived at the door of the main palace. There were dozens of royal palace guards standing in front of the main palace, and one of them was the commander of the royal palace. He was the same level as Hu Sen, and his cultivation was at the peak of the second level of the Purple Elephant Realm.
"Who is it!?"
"Imperial Advisor Zhao?!"
When the commander of the imperial guards saw a large group of people appearing in front of the main hall at night, he was slightly startled and subconsciously shouted at them. However, he immediately recognized Zhao Kuo who was in front of him and his expression immediately became incomparably respectful.
Swish! The commander of the royal palace rushed over and knelt on one knee three meters in front of Zhao Kuo. He greeted respectfully, "Cao Pei pays his respects to Imperial Advisor Zhao! Greetings to Lord Zhao and Lord Sun! "
"En, get up." Zhao Kuo nodded his head indifferently and indicated for Cao Pei to stand up. His attitude was much better than when he was facing the ordinary royal palace guards.
"Thank you, Imperial Advisor Zhao!"
Cao Pei thanked him respectfully and quickly stood up. His gaze swept across the strange crowd behind Imperial Advisor Zhao without leaving a trace. When he saw Hu Sen carrying a bloody person in his arms, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Commander Hu! Who is the person you are carrying in your arms? "
"Commander Cao, don't ask so much!" Zhao Kuo berated coldly. He paused for a moment, pointed to a large leather drum that was erected nearby, and ordered with a solemn expression, "Commander Cao! Hit the drum ten times! This Imperial Advisor wants to request an audience with His Majesty immediately! "
"Hit the drum ten times? Have an audience with His Majesty? It's night time now … Yes, Imperial Advisor Zhao, this subordinate will do as you say! "
Hearing Zhao Kuo's order, Cao Pei's expression changed drastically. He was very familiar with the drum in front of the main palace. Hitting the drum ten times meant an urgent request for an audience with His Majesty. Three days ago, when the princess was in trouble, the drum was hit ten times. Now, Imperial Advisor Zhao wanted to hit the drum ten times again. Could something big have happened in Fire Spirit City again?
Seeing that Zhao Kuo wasn't joking, Cao Pei knew that something big must have happened. If he didn't report anything important to the Emperor after hitting the drum, he would be committing the crime of deceiving the Emperor and would be beheaded. Even the Imperial Advisor couldn't play tricks on the Emperor. Therefore, he no longer hesitated and quickly ran to the front of the drum.
"Hu!"
Cao Pei took down the drumstick hanging next to the huge drum and took a deep breath to calm his excited and nervous heart. He held the drumstick with one hand and raised it high above his head, then smashed it down on the drum without hesitation.
"Dong!"
A dull, loud, and drawn-out drum sound came from the huge drum, causing the ears of the people nearby to ring, but their spirits were lifted. The drum sound quickly spread, and almost instantly spread to every corner of the huge palace, and even to the outside of the palace.
"Dong!"
Cao Pei paused for two breaths and raised the drumstick for the second time. Then, the second drum sound appeared and spread out.
"Dong!"
The third drum sound!
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
… …
"Dong!"
The tenth drum sound rang out. This last drum sound was the loudest, and it almost spread throughout the entire Fire Spirit City. The tenth drum sound was finally completed.
