Chu Liuyue originally thought he was going to walk straight over, but in the next moment, she saw something spill from his hand as he moved.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, the substance emitted a faint, silvery glow.
A subtle fragrance began to diffuse through the air.
Chu Liuyue was startled.
It was Phosphorus Incense Powder!
With only a tiny amount, this substance could ignite a sea of fire!
Was this man planning to burn down the Youhe Hall!?
But this area could only be considered the periphery of the Youhe Hall; scattering Phosphorus Incense Powder here wouldn't cause the interior to burn immediately.
What was his goal?
Suddenly, the side door of the Youhe Hall opened.
Chu Liuyue immediately raised her eyes to look!
A figure stepped out from within!
Chu Liuyue’s gaze tightened!
It was indeed Emperor Jiawen!
Thinking it over, he was the only person in the palace capable of mobilizing such a massive operation!
Because of the distance and the fact that most of his face was hidden in the darkness, Chu Liuyue could not clearly discern his expression at this moment.
Emperor Jiawen raised a hand to make a small gesture, glanced back once, and then turned to leave.
As his figure disappeared, two of the several obscure auras disappeared along with him.
Clearly, the remaining people were still responsible for guarding this place.
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes.
There were not many people capable of making Emperor Jiawen expend such great effort to cautiously confine them within the palace.
Recalling the extremely unsightly expression on Situ Yan's face when she saw him earlier...
The one confined here should be Situ Xingchen!
Emperor Jiawen was clearly trying to extract something from her mouth, but judging by his manner just now, there had likely been no progress.
Chu Liuyue looked toward the mysterious man in front of her.
He must know that Situ Xingchen was trapped here, which is why he deliberately lured her here!
But why was he doing this?
Before Chu Liuyue could ask, the man walked silently toward another direction!
His steps appeared slow, but his actual speed was very fast, and he perfectly concealed his tracks.
Had Chu Liuyue not been watching him intently, she might not have been able to fully identify his movements!
Somehow, she seemed to be able to guess the man's intentions; thus, as he gradually approached the Youhe Hall, she remained obediently in her original position.
At her current realm, going out would only make her a target! Furthermore, it would inevitably attract the attention of those experts lurking in the shadows!
Therefore, it was better to do nothing and wait for the situation to change!
Soon, the man's figure disappeared behind a corridor pillar at the outermost edge of the Youhe Hall.
Chu Liuyue held her breath.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure surged rapidly from the air above!
She immediately looked up!
She saw a man in gray walking through the air!
He wore a veiled hat that obscured his face, making his features invisible.
However, judging by his slightly hunched shoulders and back, he seemed to be of some age.
The moment he appeared, three figures instantly materialized around the Youhe Hall, surrounding the gray-clad elder in the middle!
"Who goes there!? How dare you trespass into the Yaochen Imperial Palace!"
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes.
Those three were clearly the guards dispatched by Emperor Jiawen to watch over this place.
Moreover, the cultivation realms of these three were all Fifth-Stage Martial Artists!
Fifth-Stage Martial Artists were few and far between in the entire Yaochen Kingdom; the fact that Emperor Jiawen had left three here showed just how strictly Situ Xingchen was being guarded!
This lineup was enough to deter the vast majority of intruders!
But—that gray-clad elder was exactly one full stage higher than them!
The higher the level, the greater the gap between individuals.
Even if these three joined forces, they might not necessarily be a match for this elder!
"I have come here today merely to take someone away. As long as you are sensible, I will not make things difficult for you," the gray-robed elder said indifferently.
His voice was low and raspy, and his tone was calm, yet it carried a high-and-mighty majesty, as if he were issuing a command!
He was clearly the one coming to snatch someone, yet he claimed he wouldn't make things difficult for the others—it was truly arrogant!
Chu Liuyue's mind raced.
This man was clearly targeting Situ Xingchen, but as for his identity... it was somewhat difficult to guess.
"Presumptuous! Do you think this is some place where you can come and go as you please!?"
The three were clearly enraged by the elder's words! After exchanging glances, they charged forward simultaneously!
"Today, we shall teach you a lesson!"
Facing the simultaneous attacks of the three, the gray-robed elder seemed completely unconcerned.
He let out a low chuckle, filled with undisguised disdain.
"With just you?"
As the three drew closer and closer to him, he remained motionless.
"Kill!"
Three bursts of Origin Power flew out instantly!
Seeing that he was about to be hit, the elder finally raised his hand.
His palm was exceptionally broad, like a large palm-leaf fan, as it descended silently!
A massive silver palm print appeared above him!
"Mountain River Seal!" the elder bellowed!
The silver palm print pressed down instantly!
In the next moment, the three bursts of Origin Power actually disintegrated instantly, completely dissipating!
Violent energy spread out in all directions!
However, at that exact moment, the elder's palm curled slightly, and he actually silently absorbed all the chaotic energy turbulence!
Everything happened silently, yet it immediately caused the three men's expressions to change!
A Sixth-Stage Martial Artist was actually this powerful!?
"Go!"
The gray-robed elder gave a light wave of his hand!
Terrifying power surged wildly from his palm!
The massive palm print gradually dissipated, eventually transforming into a silver ring that continuously expanded outward!
"Retreat, quickly!"
Sensing something was wrong, the three immediately tried to flee!
However, it was too late!
The powerful pressure contained within the silver ring almost made them unable to breathe! Each of them was frozen in place!
No matter how desperately they struggled, they could not escape even half a step, forced to let the silver ring crush over them!
*Pfft!*
One of them could not withstand the pressure and spat out a mouthful of blood!
The other two were not faring any better; their faces were deathly pale, and they could not utter a single word.
"Overestimating your strength."
The gray-robed elder sneered, and his hand moved slightly.
"You! You aren't—ah!"
Before the struggling man could finish his sentence, a strange flash of light streaked across the ring, piercing through his chest!
With a muffled thud, his body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ground!
Chu Liuyue controlled her aura with increasing caution, while many speculations flashed through her mind.
To dare to come so ostentatiously showed just how arrogant this person was!
To fight three against one and do so so easily!
The gray-clad elder clearly held those men in no regard; after dealing with them, he headed straight for the main gates of the Youhe Hall!
However, just as he was about to approach, a massive Mystic Array suddenly appeared in the sky above the Youhe Hall, completely enveloping it!
The gray-robed elder finally stopped.
Because this Mystic Array... was actually quite troublesome!
Yet, hiding in the shadows, Chu Liuyue's eyes suddenly lit up!
She could use that Mystic Array to enter the Youhe Hall!
