C575 Contact
Gongyan had received Dung Tianzuo's order to go to the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace to retrieve an item. As for what this item was, Dung Tianzuo did not tell him clearly. Instead, he told him that their people would contact him in the Imperial Palace. As long as he could find the people on the streets and take out the item, it would be fine.
When Gongyan, who had become a mutant a long time ago, heard the three words of the person who had contacted him, he had already understood that there were still companions in the Imperial Palace. This caused his heart to tremble slightly, because he could not imagine that other than him, there was another person who had also become a mutant in the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace.
"Let's get to the place of the agreement first. As for who it is, we'll know when we see him." A red light flashed across Gongyan's eyes as he continued to walk through the palace.
Because Gongyan was an Earth Rushing Realm Expert and Marquis Ling Wu's aide, he had many privileges in the palace. There were many places that ordinary people could not go to, but he could go, and the guards of the palace would not stop him.
Gongyan walked through a palace complex and came to a side chamber that was guarded by guards. As if he were about to enter the side chamber, he glanced at the guards, straightened his posture, and strutted forward.
In front of everyone, he was still the same Gongyan of the Earth Surge. No one would have thought that he was no longer who he was.
The sharp-eyed guards noticed Gongyan's arrival. They were all cultivators of the Astral Realm. Compared to Gongyan, they were far inferior.
"Master Yan." The guards cupped their hands towards Gongyan who was walking over.
To these people, it was their duty to guard this town because there was an important person living inside, but if Gongyan wanted to enter, he naturally didn't need to inform the person inside.
"Okay." Gongyan walked straight to the side seat, nodding slightly at the guards as he walked.
Just like that, Gongyan openly walked past the guards and his figure disappeared into the corner.
After Gongyan entered the side courtyard, the guards still continued to do their jobs and continued to guard outside to prevent any outsiders from entering.
In a dark place slightly far away from the remote area, after Gongyan entered the remote area, a figure moved slightly.
"Just now, I saw him sneaking around like a ghost. Why did he suddenly enter this cave? Strange." Lee Zhuohua, who had been following behind Gongyan while concealing his aura, felt strange when he saw Gongyan enter the side chamber in front of him.
At the beginning, Lee Zhuohua did not notice that this person was Gongyan. Because he was far away, and the other party had been hiding his aura, only then did he see that it was Gongyan.
"Why did he target me last time in the Righteous Hall? Moreover, the red light that flashed in his eyes was somewhat familiar. No, I have to follow him in and take a look. " Lee Zhuohua thought of what had happened in the Righteous Hall and felt that there was something strange about this Gongyan. Furthermore, he had also noticed the red light that flashed across his eyes.
Lee Zhuohua wanted to continue following Gongyan in, but here there were imperial guards guarding the entrance, so it was not convenient for him to sneak in. He had to think of a way.
Lee Zhuohua was hiding in the darkness, his eyes constantly rolling, as if he was thinking of a way to sneak in safely under the guards' guards.
Not long after.
"Got it." Lee Zhuohua's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of an idea.
He turned his head and looked at the guards, revealing a cunning smile on his face. Judging from his appearance, he definitely did not have a good idea.
...
The guards were guarding the place dutifully, and under their watch, no one except Gongyan had entered, and they would not let a fly in.
And right at this moment.
"An assassin..."
A cry of alarm suddenly sounded out from afar. This voice was extremely shrill, and immediately attracted the attention of the guards.
"Mm? What's going on?" One of the guards who seemed to be the leader looked toward the source of the voice.
Their primary task was to guard this mountain, but they were also responsible for the safety of the Imperial Palace. Now that an assassin had suddenly appeared, they naturally had to investigate the situation.
"You guys, follow me. The rest of you, continue to guard this place and don't allow anyone else to enter," the leader ordered.
"Yes."
The leader led the guards toward the source of the voice. Three other people stayed behind.
Lee Zhuohua, who had been hiding in the dark, saw that the noise he had made had attracted a large group of people, but there were still three people left behind, which made him secretly praise them in his heart. The caution of these people.
"There are still three people left, but it doesn't matter. Lee Zhuohua looked at the three guards and thought to himself.
If there were only so many people like Fang Cai, Lee Zhuohua would not be able to enter. But with only three people, it would not affect him much. After all, those people were only in the Astral Realm.
Thinking of this, Lee Zhuohua no longer hesitated.
"First Sword."
Lee Zhuohua shouted in his heart. A pure white sword Qi immediately appeared. The moment the sword Qi appeared, it pierced towards the gap between the three of them. Lee Zhuohua also grabbed the tail of the sword Qi and flashed past at an extremely fast speed.
The three guards, too, had been curious about what had happened, and were whispering to each other after the chief and the others had left.
"Where do you think the assassin came from?"
"I don't know, but there are many experts in the palace, and I think the assassin will be caught very soon."
"Let's guard this place properly. The commander has already brought his men. We don't have to worry."
While the three of them were talking.
"Whoosh!"
A strong wind suddenly passed through the three of them. It was so strong that they couldn't even open their eyes.
"What's going on? Why is there a wind? "
"It is so strange. Let's guard this place."
The three of them felt that the wind was a bit sudden, but none of them felt suspicious. They didn't even notice that a figure had already passed through them along with the wind.
"Done." Lee Zhuohua's figure passed through the trio and immediately hid in a corner of the alley. He turned his head around and looked at the three of them who were still unaware, and a proud smile appeared on his face.
Just now, Gongyan had entered this side chamber. Although Lee Zhuohua had lost track of him, Gongyan still had some aura left. Lee Zhuohua followed the aura left behind by the other party and chased after him step by step.
Not long later, Lee Zhuohua arrived at the backyard. He saw Gongyan's figure standing there from afar, as if he was waiting for something. Lee Zhuohua thought for a moment, then went into hiding, wanting to see what Gongyan was doing.
......
Gongyan had followed Dung Tianzuo's instructions and arrived at the corner, but he had been waiting for a long time and there was no sign of the contact, which made him slightly suspicious.
"The Lord said that the other party would be waiting here. Why is there no one here? Could it be that the Lord's information is wrong?" Gongyan began to wonder.
Just as he was suspicious.
"Thump..."
A wave of slow but steady footsteps came from afar, as if someone was walking over.
When Gongyan and Lee Zhuohua, who was hiding in the dark, heard the footsteps, they looked over.
Under their gazes, a handsome figure walked out. This person was dressed in a yellow robe and had a jade crown on his head. His actions revealed a noble aura of the royal family.
When Gongyan and Lee Zhuohua saw the person's face clearly, they were shocked in their hearts.
"It's him?" Gongyan's eyes widened in disbelief. He never would have thought that his contact would be this person in front of him. How did this person also become an Inhuman?
"Why is it him?" Lee Zhuohua, who was hiding in the dark, did not know that Gongyan had already become an Inhuman, but when he looked at the person's face, he was also a little puzzled, because this person had also interacted with him before.
