Spirit Vessel

The imperial chambers were deeper in the city, serving the emperor and his harem. No one could enter without an official summon.

Heavenbattler, the leader of the marquises, nearly got flayed as a punishment for rushing into the harem.

Feiyun felt a strange, austere atmosphere after reaching this place, seemingly hiding a trace of bloodthirst.

The gates towering at several dozen meters were wide open. These armored guards stood in front, their armor plates covered everything about them, including their eyes and mouth. These were four monsters of steel.

This was the heaviest metal on the world - Black Tortoise. Moreover, they were empowered by battle talismans. Once activated, these armors would be unbreakable, capable of withstanding the strongest attacks.

“Stop, this is a forbidden area. No trespassing.” One of them with a great spear shouted. The voice carried an imposing aura from within the armor.

Though their eyes were blocked, their divine intents could sense even a fly.

Feiyun has been here before and was familiar with the forbidden guards. The aura of these four wasn’t the common draconic one; it carried a chilling sensation instead. They clearly weren’t the original ones.

He sniffed the air and could sense a faint hint of blood. There were marks of a battle on the ground too. A formation master has tried to conceal it but this was useless against the phoenix gaze.

There was indeed a problem!

A hawk-faced eunuch saw this and ran deeper inside the harem.

Feiyun shouted: “How impudent! Do you not see that I am the Divine King?!”
