Chapter 1844 1845: Infiltrating the Imperial Palace

"So, according to what you're saying, those people are at least at the Dawen Realm level. It seems they won't be easy to deal with."

Ling Zhenfei was also a bit hesitant. If there were really a few at the Dawen Realm, he wouldn't be able to handle them easily himself.

Mao Xuejing said, "Gu Feng has already contacted a few masters, but I don't know what will happen."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I wonder what those people are after in Moergawa."

Mao Xuejing said, "It's something our nation's founding ancestors brought from Huaxia. Only my master and Gu Feng know exactly what it is, I suppose."

Ling Zhenfei said in surprise, "Even you don't know?"

Mao Xuejing nodded, "I asked my brother, but he said there's nothing, just an ancient book, and dismissed me like that."

Ling Zhenfei was very curious, "Since it's so secretive, how did those people know you have this ancient book?"

Mao Xuejing said, "That's also what I'm very curious about. They even infiltrated the Imperial Palace to search for it. If it weren't for the fact that the thing is hidden securely, I'm afraid it would have really been taken by them."

Ling Zhenfei felt something peculiar was amiss, shrouded in mystery.

But this wasn't what he should be concerned about. What he should care about is how to ensure Gu Feng's safety in this matter.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Since those people are here in Moergawa, hasn't Gu Feng tried to find them?"

Mao Xuejing said, "Of course he did, but those people are very powerful, and he simply couldn't find them."

It truly is difficult for ordinary soldiers to capture a master at the Dawen Realm.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It seems we can only wait for those people to come knocking themselves."

Mao Xuejing said, "The entire Imperial Palace is in motion, practically a Heavenly Net, but I don't know if it's effective against those cultivators."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That might not be the case. If those people are strong enough, they might even break in directly."

Mao Xuejing said in surprise, "Then what should we do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's go to the Imperial Palace in a while and see if we can find any clues and check out what kind of masters Gu Feng has found."

After they finished eating, Mao Xuejing found an outfit of her bodyguard for Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei also put on a Human Skin Mask to avoid being recognized.

The two then headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Due to her status, Mao Xuejing had brought quite a few guards with her, and Ling Zhenfei pretended to be one of them.

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat familiar with the Imperial Palace because he had been there for a while, but back then, it was Mao Aru and Mao Xuejing residing there.

After Gu Feng became Emperor, Ling Zhenfei had visited once, but his stay was brief.

This time was like revisiting an old place. Ling Zhenfei was fairly familiar, at least aware of the palace etiquette.

Following behind Mao Xuejing, pretending to be her guard, with the Human Skin Mask on, no one would suspect that the renowned Ling Zhenfei of Moergawa had returned.

In fact, Ling Zhenfei was very famous in Moergawa, the absolute authority of Moergawa Feixue Island, Gu Feng's close brother, the King with Equal Status, and he even married the former Emperor's sister.

The thought of this status was intimidating.

Feixue Island was undergoing great development, something everyone knew.

Though Moergawa had experienced rapid development since Gu Feng took power, no island could compare to Feixue Island.

During the division of territories, Ling Zhenfei's Feixue Island was granted high autonomy.

To some extent, Gu Feng couldn't directly interfere with the affairs of Feixue Island without Ling Zhenfei's consent.

Though at the time, Ling Zhenfei held a very high position because he helped Gu Feng conquer all of Moergawa, if Ling Zhenfei had demanded Feixue Island for himself, Gu Feng would certainly have agreed.

But Ling Zhenfei didn't do that; he didn't become someone who would cause disunity.

Back then, Ling Zhenfei didn't desire any territory because his contributions were too great, and one could say Feixue Island was something Gu Feng insisted on giving to Ling Zhenfei.

But now Gu Feng is gradually making people forget about Ling Zhenfei.

At times, having contributions that outshine the Monarch isn't a good thing; at least Ling Zhenfei understood that.

While freshly crowned, an Emperor might remember your kindness, but who knows what the future holds.

However, Ling Zhenfei still trusted Gu Feng, even though he didn't visit often, he wanted to have a good chat with Gu Feng.

This time, Gu Feng didn't want to trouble Ling Zhenfei due to his family's reputation but knowing about this matter, how could Ling Zhenfei not come?

The Imperial Palace was already bustling with people, and Ling Zhenfei could sense a lot of Northern Spiritual Energy within the palace just with a slight feeling.

Indeed, just as Mao Xuejing said, Gu Feng had indeed found quite a few people.

Not wanting to reveal himself for now, Ling Zhenfei deliberately hid his own aura, ensuring no one noticed him.

Walking inside, Ling Zhenfei discovered a lot of things.

First, it was true that the palace was well-prepared, one could even say it was a Heavenly Net.

But even if a Heavenly Net was laid down, could it surely catch those people?

Ling Zhenfei wasn't very sure. It's not about the number of people, but about how many masters there currently are.

Top masters will determine if this action can succeed or not.

Unfortunately, apart from feeling those auras, Ling Zhenfei didn't perceive any top master auras.

So, it meant Gu Feng had indeed found some masters, but the number was limited.

If the quantity is limited, then we will assess the quality.

Ling Zhenfei followed Mao Xuejing and entered one of the grand halls. This grand hall was Gu Feng's usual place for handling official affairs.

Though Moergawa still operated under a feudal autocracy, it had become significantly different compared to before, resembling a capitalist country where one man calls the shots.

Many functions had been modernized; handling affairs, for instance, was managed by subordinates, only needing Gu Feng's signature.

Soon, Ling Zhenfei saw Gu Feng, who was slightly heavier than before, but overall still maintained a decent figure.

Beside Gu Feng were some people, judging by their attire, not palace members, among whom there indeed were a few masters.

However, among these masters, the strongest had a mid-Dawen strength.

For others, a master at mid-Dawen would indeed be considered very strong.

But the situation is not what it used to be.

Now is the time when the Foreign Land Space is about to open its gates.

As the Foreign Land Space prepares to open, all masters have paused their cultivation, even planning to explore the Foreign Land Space, so finding some masters during this period isn't that difficult.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel a bit worried. He whispered to Mao Xuejing, "The strength of these people isn't quite sufficient. Although I don't know how strong our opponents are.
