Chapter 766: Three
Nightfall.
The City of Azure Waves was quiet, with the sea waves gently rocking the small boats.
The Fuyao Palace was located at the northeastern edge of the City of Azure Waves, built against the mountain with its back to the vast sea. This location was where the ancestor of the royal family left marks from cleaving waves and comprehended Dao.
If the city was under attack, this location made it easy to escape. After all, the enemies that could destroy the Fuyao Kingdom would more likely come from the nine provinces in the southwest.
This also provided Chu Liang with a convenient entry point. The front of the palace was heavily guarded, with layers of enchanted formations, making infiltration a laborious task. However, by using Wind Transformation as he advanced from the northern coast, he could bypass the first enchanted formation of the palace walls and enter the palace.
Han Lingshou, the true king, had drawn out the layout of the palace for Chu Liang, allowing him to move through the corridors as if he were strolling through his own home. With his current appearance, he truly was at home. After all, he looked exactly like Han Lingshou right now.
The Mirror of Captured Light, transformed from the Precious Phantom Spirit Embryo, would exist for fifteen minutes. However, any disguise cast during that time would remain intact. As long as Chu Liang didn't deliberately expose himself or get forced into revealing his true form, he could maintain this miserable facade indefinitely.
The king's bedchamber was heavily guarded, with nearly a hundred hidden and visible guards stationed around it, along with multiple layers of enchanted formations.
Whether this was due to the assassination attempt earlier in the day or if it was always this way, Chu Liang didn't care. To him, it wasn't a difficult obstacle. With his seventh-realm Wind Transformation, it wouldn't be difficult to bypass these guards whose cultivation level had yet to reach the Heavenly Gate.
If that seventh-realm palace attendant had been guarding here, things would have been tricker. However, Jing Wuya had already killed that palace attendant, and it would be nearly impossible to find a trusted Eminent One to replace them on such short notice.
Thus, Chu Liang made his way to the bedchamber easily.
