Xingyi's body instantly stiffened the moment she felt the aura that was coming from the tall man that was carrying the young woman on his shoulder before her gaze instantly turned solemn.

It was obvious that not only was this person a Dao King, but based on the aura coming from his body, he was probably an experienced one at that. At the very least, he wasn't a newly advanced early rank 1 Dao King realm expert, but someone who was at least at the peak of rank 1 in the Dao King realm, if not even higher.

​​

Her heart started to beat faster with every passing second, as the powerful Dao King and the young man in front of him walked closer and closer towards the crown prince's chambers.

She wasn't certain if she and Shun Long would be discovered while they were concealed by Shun Long's 'One with the world' or if it could avoid the detection of a powerful Dao King.

Turning her head to the side, Xingyi turned to look at Shun Long, only to see that he was actually staring at her with a smile on his face, while his hand was still holding on to her waist as he asked

''Xingyi, are you ready?''

Xingyi's worries instantly evaporated by more than half after hearing Shun Long's calm voice, before she nodded her head in response.

At that moment, the look in Shun Long's eyes turned serious as he first circulated his 'Monarch's Hourglass', causing his eyes to instantly turn golden, before he took out his golden-colored token from the 'Stone of Time' and activated the 'Memory recording formation' inside it.

At the same time, he no longer used his energy to maintain his 'One with the world' causing spatial fluctuations to start rippling around his and Xie Xingyi's bodies, before their figures appeared right in front of the crown prince of the Tang dynasty and the tall man behind him barely a moment later.

''Wha-?''

Before the crown prince, Tang Long could even finish his sentence, Shun Long saw the tall Dao King who was still carrying the young woman on his shoulder abruptly take a step forward, closing the distance between himself and Tang Long in a single instant!

Without any hesitation, the tall man whom the crown prince had called 'Commander Peng' earlier, suddenly placed his hand on the prince's robes and instantly took a few steps backward, pulling the crown prince along with him and opening up the distance between himself, Shun Long and Xie Xingyi!

Tang Long's body rolled on the floor of the palace uncontrollably after 'Commander Peng's' forceful pull, but before he could flare up, Commander Peng's serious voice sounded in his ears in the next moment

''Your Highness, step back!''

Hearing the solemn tone in his voice Tang Long didn't turn angry, as he turned his attention towards Shun Long and Xie Xingyi and asked

''Who the hell are you? How did you get inside the royal palace?''

Turning his attention towards Shun Long and Xie Xingyi, Commander Peng's aura exploded from his body as he ignored Tang Long's question and asked in a serious tone

''Who are you? Why are you sneaking around the prince's royal chambers?''

Although Commander Peng was slightly wary of Shun Long and Xie Xingyi since he had actually failed to detect their presence until they finally revealed themselves, after sensing their cultivation that was only at the peak of rank 3 and the middle of rank 5 in the Nascent Soul, he heaved out a sigh of relief.

However, neither Shun Long nor Xie Xingyi looked like they wanted to answer him.

Raising both hands, Shun Long tore the space in front of him open, creating a large space tear, while Xingyi activated her Vanishing Shadows unique physique at the same time, as her body melded into the shadows.

Commander Peng's eyes instantly narrowed upon seeing this scene, as he saw a gorgeous black-robed young woman with long black hair and 2 handsome young men in black robes, all coming out from the space tear, before they took a look at their surroundings.

This was precisely how Shun Long was planning to have Liu Mei and the rest enter the royal palace!

Since it was almost impossible for his energy to sustain hiding everyone with his 'One with the world', he had chosen to simply hide himself along with Xingyi who was going to lead the way to the crown prince's chambers.

As soon as the crown prince arrived, Shun Long had already told Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, that he would create a space tear which would lead them directly inside the royal palace.

Although Shun Long couldn't create 'reverse space tears' in the past that would lead straight to him, after breaking through to the fifth stage of his 'Monarch's Eternal body', it was practically effortless for him to do so.

At the same time that Commander Peng and the crown prince of the Tang dynasty, Tang Long were both looking at Shun Long with eyes filled with disbelief, Shun Long had already turned his attention towards Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian.

Without waiting for Shun Long to say anything, Liu Mei created a pitch-black ball in her hands and allowed it to fall on the floor of the palace barely a moment later, opening up a huge portal.

In just a couple of seconds, 1000 jade-white skeletons and 60 undead knights, along with an enormous, 30 meter(100ft) tall monster had all emerged from the enormous portal, with Liu Mei standing right on top of the enormous monster's back.

Jiang Chen nodded his head before an ever-expanding veil of darkness erupted from his body, slowly expanding towards his surroundings, while a pair of pitch-black wings that were burning with dark red flames had also formed themselves on his back!

The veil of darkness was clearly Jiang Chen's strongest skill from his Eternal Darkness unique physique, the 'Kingdom of Darkness', while the black wings were his 'Demonic Wings'!

Seeing both Jiang Chen and Liu Mei going all-out, Bai Longtian didn't hide his strength any longer, revealing in public his Golden Buddha unique physique for the first time!

His body instantly turned into a 10 meter(30ft) tall giant golden buddha, whose eyes were staring at the shocked crown prince of the Tang dynasty without any emotions.
