Zhang Yifeng and others stood in front of the palace and were about to push the door open and enter.
At the critical moment, a person burst out from the darkness and stopped in front of everyone.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace!"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyes and saw that the man blocking the road was wearing a gorgeous robe and had a heroic look on his face.
Judging from his appearance, he should be a certain prince from the Tianyu Empire royal family.
"Lu Shang, who is this person?"
Zhang Yifeng turned his head and asked Lu Shang beside him in a low voice.
"This person is the second prince of the Tianyu Empire."
Lu Shang naturally recognized this person's identity, even though the other party had never taken him seriously.
But at that time, the most favored students in the Royal Academy were all these members of the royal family.
Lu Shang, who was ostracized by others in the Imperial Academy, still had fresh memories of the second prince, who was known as the future pillar of the empire.
"Wait a minute, are you...that useless land merchant?"
When the second prince heard what Lu Shang said, he couldn't help but stare at him deeply.
After taking a closer look, he discovered that this strange young man in armor was actually a land merchant who was called a loser in the academy.
"Who do I know? It turns out it's you, the traitor, who's back!"
"You are a traitor who doesn't want to serve the country, but now you want to break into the palace. You really have ulterior motives!"
"When I was in the academy, I saw that you were an ambitious person!"
"Today, I, the prince, are here and will never allow you to step into the palace!"
The second prince shouted with an imposing voice and drew his sword directly at Zhang Yifeng and the others.
"A waste of time."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes darkened, he didn't want to waste any more time on this meaningless character.
Just when he was about to take action to deal with it, he suddenly felt several inexplicable murderous auras coming from all directions.
"careful."
Zhang Yifeng gave a deep warning, then raised his hand and easily cut away the flying stream of light with a sword.
"It's you again!"
With a low roar, a familiar figure rushed out from the direction where the stream of light came from.
Zhang Yifeng took a closer look and found that he was indeed an old acquaintance.
This person is clearly the black tower man named Gu Mi who was sent by the eldest prince last time when he tried to destroy the Ji family.
At this moment, Gu Miao was staring at Zhang Yifeng, his muscles all over his body were shaking.
Since the last failure, the eldest prince no longer intends to reuse him. Because of this, Gu Mi has been holding back a bad breath in his heart.
The sound of the palace's main entrance being breached spread in all directions, and Gu Mi, who was practicing hard in his room, rushed over immediately.
"Fellow Taoist Gumi, long time no see."
"The purpose of our coming here today is not for you. I hope all fellow Taoists can make it easier for me."
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly and said quietly to Gu Miao.
"And fellow Taoists around you, stop hiding, it's better to come out together and make a decision."
"Should we fight to the death for the so-called royal family, or should we save our lives and witness the future Tianyu Empire with our own eyes?"
After Zhang Yifeng said that, his eyes swept in all directions.
Suddenly, the royal guards hiding in the dark felt that they had nowhere to hide.
After staring at Zhang Yifeng for a long time with ugly expressions, they also knew that their hiding place had been seen through, so they simply flew out of their hiding place.
All of a sudden, dozens of royal guards surrounded Zhang Yifeng and the three of them.
"I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"Now just sit back and wait for capture. I can spare you a way to survive and wait for the Emperor's judgment!"
"If you insist on forcing your way into the palace, then leave your lives here!"
Among the royal guardians, an old man with a long beard stared at Zhang Yifeng with sharp eyes and shouted.
The same was true for the rest of the royal guardians, and no one was moved by Zhang Yifeng's words.
After all, they knew nothing about Zhang Yifeng's background. On the contrary, the emperor's power in the Tianyu Empire had already planted the seeds of fear in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, it is impossible to give up because of Zhang Yifeng's few words.
"In that case, let's face the edge of the sword."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes condensed, and he took the two swords instantly. Before the movements in his hands could be seen clearly, countless sword energy rushed in all directions.
The pupils of all the royal guardians shrank, and they hurriedly took action to try to resist Zhang Yifeng's sword energy.
However, for those with lower cultivation levels present, the shield and blade in front of them were cut off the moment they came into contact with the sword energy.
Under the impact of the sword energy, it flew backwards and smashed through the high walls in the palace.
The rest of the people weren't necessarily doing much better. Facing Zhang Yifeng's sword energy, they could at best resist it.
But after one blow, the mana shield in front of him was almost broken.
"Damn it, where did you find such a powerful helping hand, you loser!"
The second prince hid behind the protectors in disbelief and asked Lu Shang.
"It's better to stop talking nonsense!"
A fierce look flashed in Lu Shang's eyes, and then he said to Zhang Yifeng in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, you and Senior Fire King enter the palace first, and I will handle these people."
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly when he heard this, but did not reject Lu Shang's kindness.
"Then thank you for your hard work."
After saying this, Zhang Yifeng flew up and rushed towards the gate of the imperial palace together with the Fire King.
"Damn it, stop them!"
The second prince's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he hurriedly gave orders to the guardians.
All the protectors did not dare to let Zhang Yifeng break into the palace, and they all set out to kill him.
However, before anyone could get closer, a figure had already stopped in front of them.
He saw Lu Shang holding a big gun, and the aura of overlord bursting out from his body.
"bring it on!"
As Lu Shang waved the big gun in his hand, the royal guardians who were close to him were swept away one by one.
Only one person just took a few steps back and forcibly stopped Lu Shang's casual shot.
"It seems that I underestimated you before."
Gu Mi slowly raised his head and looked at this young man who had a completely different aura than what he had seen at Ji's house that day.
Among the many protectors, he was the only one who could withstand Lu Shang's shot.
“Interesting!”
Lu Shang narrowed his eyes and immediately brandished his big gun and attacked Gu Miao.
"You! You untouchable, you actually tried to force your way into the palace!"
Just as Zhang Yifeng was about to open the palace door, the second prince on the side suppressed the fear in his heart, pointed at Zhang Yifeng and shouted.
"Um?"
Zhang Yifeng glanced at him and took a deep look at him.
The next moment, a ray of fire flew out from his side and fell on the second prince.
Before he could shout, the two princes turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"In the contract we signed, it didn't say that I couldn't attack anyone outside the Snow Country."
The Fire King put away the ball of fire at his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course, the royal family of the Tianyu Empire also has a grudge against the seniors anyway."
"I just hope that senior will not spread his grievances on the people of Tianyu Empire."
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and said, then immediately pushed open the palace door in front of him.
