Chapter 576: Chapter 578 Familiar Monster, Golden Daoist Talisman!

Yang Yan entered the room, not specifically to observe the demon.

He came here to find the person secretly manipulating the Dark Night Blood Bats.

The secret manipulator!

“The person wanting to control so many Dark Night Blood Bats couldn’t possibly be too far from here,” he thought to himself.

“Unless he was incredibly powerful!”

*But if this person was incredibly powerful, he wouldn’t rely on controlling Dark Night Blood Bats to kill others!*

*He would show up himself!*

Now that the person hadn’t shown up, it proved that the person’s power wasn’t very strong.

*Their power might be average, but it lied in being strange and mysterious!*

And when he opened the window to see the demon’s situation, he felt something was amiss!

“If the Dark Night Blood Bats are here to deal with the Holy Dynasty’s Royal Heir, then what about the demon?”

With the manifested sacred image, the demon couldn’t get in.

If the demon had left, or left partially,

Yang Yan wouldn’t have felt that something would happen next!

On the contrary, the demon hadn’t left, which aroused his suspicion.

“They haven’t moved, yet gathered more demons!

This proves they have a motive too!

It must have something to do with the Holy Dynasty’s Royal Heir!”

*There was no reason for the demon not to leave, and if it didn’t leave, there must be a reason!*

While thinking of this, the shadowy image of the sacred manifestation suddenly disappeared.

Outside the Imperial Palace, there was no longer any light shining down to stop the gathering demons.

“As expected, they were waiting for this moment!”

As the sacred image’s shadow disappeared, the demons roared and charged into the Imperial Palace.

They ignored anyone and anything, rushing directly towards this side hall.

“Their purpose is the same as the Dark Night Blood Bats, to kill the Holy Dynasty’s Royal Heir,” Yang Yan thoroughly understood.

Someone intended to target the Holy Dynasty’s Royal Heir, and the arrival of these eight people might all be within the plans of the secret manipulator.

“The plan is meticulous and the aim is clear!”

As the demons entered, even more shadows surrounded the side hall.

Dark Night Blood Bats!

The Dark Night Blood Bats present at the side hall were not all there were.

Many more were on their way!

Especially because the blood-tinged air lingering here likely didn’t need any control; they would go straight to the Holy Dynasty’s Royal Heir!

“The shadow of the sacred manifestation vanished, someone, someone must have destroyed the sacred image!”

“It’s over, it’s over, the demons are in!”

“Run, hurry, run!”

The King of Fengmo’s children and concubines looked at the demons filling the sky and were panic-stricken.

They were terrified!

“Brother Yang, what should we do?” Murong asked, her voice trembling slightly.

If it weren’t for having Yang Yan by her side, she would feel like she was doomed!

Yet even with Yang Yan there, she was scared seeing so many demons!

“Don’t worry, they’re not coming for us,” Yang Yan said calmly.

Once the Holy Dynasty’s Royal Heir dies, the demons and the Dark Night Blood Bats might retreat.

But it was also possible they wouldn’t retreat!

Yang Yan was fearless; if they intended to act against him, he wouldn’t mind taking action!

“Mm.” Qian Rong and Murong leaned closer to Yang Yan.

They trusted Yang Yan!

While the King of Fengmo’s children and concubines were already running around in confusion, crazily escaping outside.

Some didn’t run; they sat weakly on the ground, their legs giving out from fear.

Others, seeing that Yang Yan hadn’t left, gathered around him.

“Sir, should we run? If we don’t run, will we die? Can you protect us?” a concubine from Fengmo Country asked Yang Yan.

She was very worried!

Yang Yan didn’t answer!

“Sir, could you answer me?” another concubine got closer and pleaded.

Most of the people around Yang Yan were concubines of the King of Fengmo or their daughters.

As one spoke, others began to speak, asking Yang Yan.

“Don’t worry, as long as you stick with Young Master Yang, you’ll be safe,” Qian Rong comforted them, seeing how scared they were.

The concubines nodded vigorously.

“Thank you, thank you!”

Yang Yan didn’t care about them; his eyes were still searching for the location of the secret manipulator.

And looking for another being!

“Where is that creature?”

With so many Dark Night Blood Bats appearing, and considering they’re flying Exotic Beasts that don’t go near water, they were obviously not the rumored creature!

They were merely Exotic Beasts let in by someone!

*There must be a creature still lurking in the shadows!*

“No, I didn’t see it in the Imperial Palace!”

Yang Yan didn’t see the secret manipulator, nor did he see that creature.

“Could I be wrong? Is the creature just the Dark Night Blood Bats?

*Was only one let in at first to secretly harm people?*

If that were the case, what about the rumors?

*Were they fake, meant to deceive the Holy Dynasty’s Royal Heir?*

Yang Yan’s gaze shifted to the Imperial Kitchen’s location.

There was a dry well and a pond there.

His eyes lit up, looking into the pond’s depths.

“Hmm?”

In the pond, there was a spring.

The water in the spring was swirling, and besides bubbling up, there was a black presence like an eyeball!

Gurgle gurgle!

The water in the spring suddenly roiled violently, and then that eyeball-like presence disappeared.

“There’s a creature, hiding in the pond!

*It’s very cautious!*

*It noticed my spying and hid!*

*But that eye, why does it feel like I’ve seen it before!*”

He suddenly remembered, in the Western Desert he, Tang Bo, and others experienced before encountering the miles-long sandstorm.

The scene of encountering a moving oasis!

“The Exotic Beast in the oasis, it came here?” Yang Yan remembered where he had seen this creature before!

Rumble!

Suddenly, the entire side hall began to shake, and a golden light burst forth.

The light pierced through the side hall, splitting it in two.

Seeing the side hall about to collapse, Yang Yan waved his hand to smash down the wall along with its window in front of him, leading everyone out of the side hall.

As they escaped, the beams of the side hall came crashing down.

The entire side hall collapsed with a massive crash, dust swirling in the air.

“Whoever wants to kill me, come out now!” At this moment, Yang Yan saw a young man dressed in white holding a golden talisman, shouting around.

The other seven people by his side were all injured, and each had a pale face.

Three among them were women, surrounded by five young men in the middle.

They sat cross-legged, having no more power to fight.

“Hiding and skulking around, what kind of hero is that!

You, hiding your head and showing your tail, aren’t even worthy to inherit father’s great achievements!” the young man in white continued speaking.

The demons and Dark Night Blood Bats by his side had been injured or killed by the strike he made just now.

Now regrouped, they roared as they pounced at the young man in white again.

“Still afraid to come out? Ha, truly cowardly!” He raised the golden talisman in his hand, ready to strike again!

*On the surface he appeared strong, but his heart had sunk to the bottom!*

*Because his last trump card, the Golden Daoist Talisman, had already been taken out.*

*Two more uses, and the golden talisman would have no power left!*

*Yet the demons and Dark Night Blood Bats here clearly couldn’t be wiped out in just two strikes.*

*Not to mention the hidden manipulator behind the scenes!*

*If the manipulator couldn’t be forced out, he was too cunning!* The young man in white thought to himself.

*His reason for speaking out was to provoke the opponent to reveal himself.*

*Then deliver a fatal blow with the Golden Daoist Talisman, to secure victory!*

*However, with the opponent remaining hidden, where would he have the chance to claim victory?!*

“I want that talisman of yours,” a voice resounded in his ear.

The young man dressed in white was taken aback!

Ss!

A sudden burst of Profound Qi appeared, slicing down.

The arm of the young man in white holding the Golden Daoist Talisman was severed, blood trailing through the air.

A hand reached out and caught this severed arm.

“You can continue!”
