Ji Tianxing followed the guards and slowly climbed the iceberg.
On the huge iceberg 10,000 meters high, a narrow ice crystal staircase was dug from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain.
Ji Tianxing followed the others onto the ice steps and climbed halfway up the mountain step by step.
During this process, he silently observed the defense situation on the iceberg.
He discovered that many magic caves were hollowed out inside this huge iceberg.
At the foot of the mountain and deep underground, there are dozens of criss-crossing passages, and more than thirty magic caves.
There are countless demon warriors and elite guards hiding in those demon caves.
All passages on the iceberg are heavily guarded and the defenses are very tight.
Originally, Ji Tianxing could use the power of his soul to quietly explore the situation inside the iceberg.
But this is the Demon Emperor's lair. Not only is the Ancient Demon Emperor entrenched here, but there are also several great demon commanders and countless powerful demons.
Ji Tianxing must be extremely cautious, not daring to use a trace of his soul power, let alone reveal the slightest bit of human aura.
He could only observe the situation of the iceberg with his naked eyes, and silently speculate and analyze.
Once his identity is exposed, or is suspected by the Demon Commander and Demon Emperor, he will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
He even had to keep a low profile and never attract the attention of the Demon Commander and Demon Emperor.
Half an hour later, he followed the guards over tens of thousands of steps, passed through six checkpoints, and finally climbed halfway up the mountain.
Ahead is an open space facing a cliff, and the entire ground is made of light blue ice.
There are more than a dozen ice crystal statues standing in the open space, all of which are carved with ancient demon gods or ferocious evil beasts.
Under the cliff is a straight and steep ice wall, more than 4,000 meters high.
The ice wall is hung with dense ice ridges, like rows of spears, which looks particularly spectacular.
Behind the clearing, on the mountain wall leaning against the iceberg, there is a huge ice crystal palace.
This palace was carved out of an iceberg. It was a hundred feet in diameter and had three floors.
The palace gate faces the open space, and there are eight guards in black armor guarding both sides of the wide gate.
On the lintel of the gate, three large black characters are carved.
Sainte's Palace.
The two guard commanders took Ji Tianxing and others and stood in the open space outside the gate.
Ji Tianxing looked up at the Saintess' Palace, his eyes a little complicated, and secretly murmured in his heart: "Saintess, I will see you soon... Are you my Yaoyao?"
At this time, the middle-aged commander at the head said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, this is the palace of Her Majesty the Saint, the Palace of the Saint.
Everyone who comes here will become Her Majesty's personal bodyguards from now on.
My last name is Hu. You can call me Hu Commander. From now on, I will be your commander.
You must abide by the rules of the Holy Lady's Palace and never disobey Her Royal Highness the Holy Lady's wishes and orders.
In addition, the top of the mountain is the palace of His Majesty the Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Demon Palace.
That is the sacred and forbidden land of our clan. You must not approach it without reason. Once discovered, you will be executed immediately!
Later, I will take you into the Palace of the Holy Lady and arrange for you to stay on the first floor of the palace.
If you have nothing to do, just stay in your room and practice, and wait for my orders at any time, and you must not wander in at will..."
Commander Hu explained the rules of the Holy Lady's Palace to everyone, and after giving some instructions in a majestic tone, he led everyone into the Holy Lady's Palace.
The first floor of the palace is the residence of the guards and personal guards. There are more than a hundred rooms, all of which are ice crystal chambers and protected by Tianyuan-level formations.
After Hutong settled everyone down, he asked everyone to stay in the room, recharge their batteries, and memorize the rules of the Holy Lady's Palace.
In the past few days, the saint has been doing some cleaning in the room on the third floor of the palace.
As long as the saint does not leave the palace, the bodyguards will have nothing to do and can rest peacefully.
Night fell quickly.
In the dark and cold Saintess' Palace, there was not a trace of firelight, but moonstone lamps were lit in various passages.
Under the night, the Palace of Saints is shining with silvery stars, making it look particularly quiet and peaceful.
Except for Ji Tianxing, more than 90 personal guards had been on the road for 18 consecutive days. They were already exhausted and their strength was very weak.
After nightfall, many of the guards stayed in their rooms, either sleeping soundly or meditating to regain their strength.
Only Ji Tianxing neither slept nor meditated.
He sat on the ice bed, frowning in thought, thinking about his next plan.
"This is the Demon Emperor's lair. I pretended to be an intruder and sneaked in. I cannot stay for long, otherwise I will be discovered by the Demon Commander and the Demon Emperor sooner or later.
Moreover, I killed General Greed and his son, which may arouse the suspicion of the Lord of Baishan City.
Even if I leave no clues or evidence, I still have to guard against the Lord of Baishan City tipping off the Demon Commander Tianman...
Therefore, I cannot delay time, I must find the Saint as soon as possible and find out who she is!"
After making up his mind, Ji Tianxing quietly left the room, walked through the dimly lit passage, and headed towards the third floor of the palace.
However, the defense and rules within the Holy Lady's Palace are very strict.
Members of the Guards could only move around on the first floor of the palace, not even on the second floor.
Moreover, there are four guards guarding the stairs on the second floor of the palace.
The strength of each guard has reached around the second level of Tianyuan Realm.
They were as motionless as statues, guarding the entrance to the stairs.
It was impossible for Ji Tianxing to pass under their noses, let alone fly directly to the third floor of the palace.
After all, the entire Saint Lady's Palace is protected by a large formation, and many traps and mechanisms are set up.
In desperation, he could only take out an invisibility charm from the space ring and use it.
When he left Zhongzhou, Long Yunxiao, Kun Wu and others gave him many cultivation resources and treasures.
Among them are not only spiritual stones, elixirs and magic weapons, but also many spells with mysterious effects.
This Tianyuan-level invisibility talisman allows him to hide his body and breath for a quarter of an hour.
"A quarter of an hour is enough!"
Ji Tianxing hid in a corner and cast an invisibility charm. His whole body immediately became transparent and disappeared out of thin air.
He quietly crossed the stairs, passed in front of the four guards, and quietly reached the second floor of the palace.
The second floor of the palace was very deserted and quiet, with only about twenty people living there, including the two guard commanders and the maids from the Holy Lady's Palace.
Similarly, the stairs leading to the third floor of the palace are also guarded by several elite guards.
The six black-armored guards, all of whom were at the fourth level of the Tianyuan Realm, stood motionless at the entrance of the stairs, always vigilant.
Ji Tianxing became more cautious and tiptoed across the stairs, finally reaching the third floor of the palace.
There are not many rooms on the third floor of the palace, only a dozen or so, and most of them are idle.
This is the residence of the saint, and usually only the saint lives alone.
It was late at night, and the dozen or so rooms were as dark as ink. Only the largest room had a light on.
