CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 364:

For a moment, everyone who thought of a certain possibility fell into silence.

Chen Muxue scratched her head, "Good heavens, the result is that the final Boss is the Emperor. Who can deal with that?"

"It’s not impossible that there’s another possibility. For example, the Emperor might be too ill and powerless, but a third-party force is quietly controlling the situation. This is still quite likely," Lin Qing said, nodding proudly.

Such a reasonable train of thought, only Lin Qing could have it; anyone else wouldn’t do!

Chen Muxue sighed, "Listen to yourself, do you think that’s easier to deal with than the Emperor himself?"

Silence, silence grips the Imperial Palace today.

"Bold! How dare you speak so recklessly about the Emperor? Arrest them all!"

Cen Lizhui immediately sensed the spiritual pressure. He leaped in front of Chen Muxue, instantly unfolding the Immortal Spirit Realm.

Chen Muxue looked at his sudden gallant pose, her mouth gaped open forming an "O" shape.

"Boom!"

The Immortal Spirit Realm, which even those in the Divinity Transformation Realm found troublesome, was blasted apart the moment it was hit. Everyone within the barrier was blown away by the residual spiritual power, and Chen Muxue’s tightly gripped iron pot was bombarded to the side.

Cen Lizhui struggled to get up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and muttered, "Void Refinement Realm expert, frightening as—"

"Don’t use such words, my friend," Chen Muxue interrupted Cen Lizhui.

Seeing that Chen Muxue was still in the mood to crack jokes, Cen Lizhui felt somewhat relieved, sensing she wasn’t seriously injured.

"Where’s my pot? Where’s my huge pot?" Chen Muxue reacted and immediately started searching for her treasured iron pot.

As the dust settled, a eunuch with a hooked nose came slowly holding the iron pot. This eunuch was different from typical ones with a gentle androgyny; instead, the lines of his face were quite bold, exuding a certain virile air.

If it weren’t for him wearing eunuch’s clothing, no one would think of him as a eunuch.

"Such a strong figure, to be a eunuch in the palace?" Lin Qing recovered and couldn’t help but speak after seeing who it was.

Yu Yan, who was examining the iron pot, raised an eyebrow when he heard this and looked at Lin Qing. Lin Qing suddenly had a bad premonition, and sure enough, his body was once again sent flying and embedded firmly into a wall in an unknown courtyard behind.

"May I ask who the senior is and why he targets us?" Cen Lizhui’s eyes narrowed slightly. If he were Divinity Transformation Realm, they, a group of Nascent Soul Realm practitioners, might still stand a chance, but each realm beyond Divinity Transformation is a heavenly ladder. The gap between the Void Refinement Realm experts and Divinity Transformation Realm cannot be merely described by a single realm difference."

Indeed, no matter how much people rack their brains, they cannot understand why a Void Refinement Realm expert would be a eunuch in the palace.

There aren’t many Void Refinement Realm experts in the world, barely a hundred or less. Moving up a rank, Integration Realm experts are even fewer, only two hands’ worth. The Sect Leader of the first Immortal Cultivation Sect, Liuyun Sect, is only on the cusp of the Integration Realm.

Above that, Mahayana Realm experts are already in the realm of legends; everyone knows a few names, but no one has truly witnessed one. At this level, ascending further is akin to stepping into immortality; it’s said that this qualifies one to enter the True Immortal Realm of the Immortal Realm, as his master, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect, did to explore its mysteries.

However, it’s rumored that the Sect Leader eventually gave up the chance to enter the Immortal Realm...

Yu Yan first glanced at Cen Lizhui, then smiled, "It’s rare that Immortal Sect disciples actually care about these worldly affairs within the Imperial Palace?"
