Kuafu looked at the burly man before him with great interest and laughed, "It's you who should kneel down."

An invisible force enveloped the area and suddenly descended upon General Tianlei. His expression changed abruptly, and he suddenly felt his legs go weak, causing him to kneel on the ground uncontrollably.

that's all.

He looked up at the white-robed man before him, his eyes filled with both fear and anger, and said, "You... what kind of evil magic did you use?"

General Tianlei roared and channeled his full power as a Dominator, trying to lift his knees off the ground, but he couldn't.

"Rubbish."

Qin Shan sneered, walked forward, and kicked General Tianlei in the chest. With a crack, the sound of breaking bones rang out.

"ah!"

General Tianlei was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face.

Qin Shan said, "That's it?"

"You think you're worthy to make things difficult for our leader?"

At this moment, Kuafu waved his hand and said calmly, "Stop playing around, just kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shan nodded and struck General Tianlei on the head with a palm. With a loud bang, blood and flesh were mangled, a mixture of red and white...

Seeing this, Kuafu frowned and said, "Next time you kill someone, pay attention to hygiene. This is so dirty!"

Qin Shan, sweat beading on his forehead, said, "Yes, yes, what the sect leader says is true. I will pay attention in the future!"

Kuafu nodded and continued walking up the palace steps ahead, with An Miaomiao and Qin Shan quickly following behind.

Meanwhile.

The imperial guards on all four sides of the temple, each holding a long spear, gathered in a circle in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, firmly sealing off the entrance.

At the front of the vast army stood four men clad in golden armor. They were the four commanders of the Imperial Guards, each of whom was at the first level of the Heaven-Defying Realm.

"We are here by order of the King to protect the palace!"

"Today, some thieves have come here to cause trouble."

"Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony live the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and many other consorts!"

"Even if we die, we will never let those traitors set foot in this hall."

Holding a long sword, Ye Hua, the leader of the four commanders, spoke with a booming voice that resounded throughout the palace, stirring the blood and igniting the fighting spirit in those who heard it.

Another commander in golden armor stepped forward and said, "Commander, this person dared to commit such an evil deed; he must have come prepared."

"The king is not in the palace at this time, and this man has even killed the heavenly lightning. We... are we no match for him?"

"It would be a waste to sacrifice ourselves here in vain."

As the man's voice fell, Ye Hua held his sword to his neck and sneered, "Wang Fu, you eat the king's food, you must be loyal to the king, and you must bear the king's worries!"

Ye Hua shouted, "The king is not here now. We must stop those thieves, whether we can or not!"

"If you dare utter another word, I will kill you!"

Wang Fu's face was covered in cold sweat. He gave an awkward smile and pushed away the sword Ye Hua had placed at his neck, saying, "Brother Ye, let's talk this out. Why is your temper still so explosive?"

"snort."

Ye Hua put down his sword, his gaze solemn and cold as he stared ahead, as if waiting for the arrival of Kuafu and the other two.

A cold glint flashed in Wang Fu's eyes as he thought to himself, "Idiot Ye Hua, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you! Those thieves... those seniors dared to cause trouble in the palace; they must have real skills. If we forcefully stop them, we'll probably lose our lives."

"If I were the Grand Commander, I would lead my brothers away from here. Why should we guard this filthy palace!"

Ye Hua turned his gaze to Wang Fu and said with a faint smile, "Brother Wang, are you perhaps thinking about me?"

Wang Fu cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Commander-in-Chief, you're overthinking it. I've thought about it again and again. We are all the monarch's right-hand men, and we should be loyal to him at this time!"

"Are our brothers going to die again?"

Even after we die, what does it matter if my wife and your wife are both cared for by others?

"As long as we are loyal, we will be great loyal ministers, our names will be recorded in history, and our deeds will be sung by thousands!"

"Brothers, am I right?"

Wang Fu's gaze swept over the soldiers and officers behind him.

All the soldiers remained silent, their minds filled with thoughts of their beloved wives and their obedient children.

Is the mere reward of the title of loyal subject truly enough to make them risk their lives?

A cold glint flashed in Ye Hua's eyes as he once again held his sword above Wang Fu's neck and roared, "Wang Fu, stop disrupting the morale of the army! With a formidable enemy at hand, we, as commanders, should be boosting the morale of our brothers. Yet you mention your wife, children, and elderly parents. What are you up to?"

Wang Fu smiled, gently moved the sword away, and his aura rose. He said, "We are both cultivators at the first level of the Heaven-Defying Realm. Don't bother me!"

"What a show! What a show!"

A slightly amused voice came from behind.

The four commanders and numerous soldiers turned their gazes toward the three figures. The white-clad man at the head of the group was clapping his hands together and walking forward with a meaningful expression.

"I never expected that my arrival would cause you all to feel so threatened."

Kuafu laughed and said, "I'm so sorry to have startled you."

His gaze shifted to Wang Fu, and he said, "You are a smart man, and a smart man knows when to advance and when to retreat, and knows how to be pragmatic, which is to be a dog."

"I admire you."

"If I gave you a chance to be a dog, could you take it?"

That's all.

The overwhelming pressure of the first level of the Venerable Emperor realm suddenly enveloped the entire palace, causing countless living beings to tremble in shock and fear.

This is the gap between different levels of understanding, and it is insurmountable!
