The royal palace is a very important place, but it is a palace that is only about 100 square meters in size.

The Great Golden Palace is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the royal city, and it is also one of the top places in the entire palace where spiritual energy gathers.

There are 18 meditation cushions here, and on each cushion sits an old man in a golden robe, some wearing a golden dragon robe and others a golden python robe. Abundant spiritual energy emanates from their breath.

"Strange, why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

An old man in a golden dragon robe, at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

Immediately afterwards, many of the elderly men stopped their cultivation.

"Brother Wang, this is the most important place in the Great Jin Palace, and our ancestor is here to oversee it. You are overthinking it."

An old prince in the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm spoke up, saying that he had no such concerns.

The other elders nodded secretly and resumed their cultivation.

The old man in the golden dragon robe frowned, his aged brows furrowing as he released his divine sense. The next instant, he was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat and stood up abruptly.

What did he see?

A handsome young man with blond hair, golden eyes, and a golden robe stood in front of the gate, stroking his chin as he studied their formation.

"Huh~"

Gu Yan exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that someone at the Spirit Sea Realm could sense him; their perception was indeed sharp.

He was unaware that this was none other than the former king, who had held the imperial seal for many years and thus possessed an extremely keen sensitivity to the powerful aura within the palace.

"I originally wanted to see just how powerful your concealment formation was, but since that's the case, I'll have to finish this quickly."

Gu Yan smiled and extended a jade-like finger, all the power of lightning and fire gathering at its tip.

The former king's actions caused the other old princes to open their eyes and probe out with their divine senses.

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

The group of elders all paled. They had all seen the young man gathering power, and the moment their divine senses touched that power, the hairs on their bodies stood on end.

A round, golden ball of light condensed at Gu Yan's fingertip and was flicked out.

The light sphere, which was only the size of an eyeball, magnified countless times and exploded the moment it touched the array.

boom!

Instantly, the aftershocks of the explosion impacted an area of ​​100 meters, destroying all buildings and creating a large crater centered on Gu Yan, with smoke, dust, and the aftershocks of lightning filling the sky.

Whoosh whoosh!

More than a dozen figures flew out, opening another exit the instant the force touched the array and escaping.

The Great Golden King, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his extremely majestic dragon eyes and noticed what was happening over there. His expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

With a wave of his hand, a large golden seal appeared in his palm, and at the same time, he transmitted his voice throughout the entire palace.

"Royal Palace Grand Array, activate."

"The four great mink temples, the two great matrons, and the on-duty commanders, obey orders and lead all cultivators to kill the invaders."

After saying that, the golden seal floated above his head. He let out a long roar and continuously absorbed the power within it. His cultivation, which was originally at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, actually began to break through one after another.

...

Ah~

"How terrifying, what happened?"

"Good heavens, how dare someone act so recklessly in the palace? They must be tired of living."

In the harem, many of the palaces were startled by the sound waves. The incomparably beautiful queen, who was practicing dance, was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her pert buttocks rippled from the shock. She frowned, glanced at the sound, and then continued practicing her dance.

She didn't care what kind of sound waves occurred; no matter who became king, with her beauty, she would be queen.

The beautiful concubines either patted their proudly erect breasts or were slightly startled, but then remained unconcerned.

...

"Hmph, they're courting death. My father and his many ancestors have achieved great feats. I believe it won't be long before these traitors are slain by their swords."

A handsome young man in a golden python robe spoke confidently, while also keeping an eye on the situation over there.

However, they were all outsiders and had no idea how terrifying the attack had just occurred, nor how powerful the person who launched it was.

...

"Your strength isn't that great, but this turtle shell is quite hard. It actually took a while to break it."

Gu Yan walked on air with his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely in their direction, a faint smile always on his handsome face.

Of the 18 figures suspended in the air, only the three elders at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm were unharmed; the rest were either in tattered robes or disheveled, burned by the golden aura.

"Senior, you're not from the Qian Yuan Sect, are you?"

"If that's the case, why attack my Great Jin Royal Palace? Are you taking advantage of the fact that my Great Jin doesn't have any cultivators capable of forging Mirror-level techniques?"

The elderly man in the golden dragon robe asked solemnly, having concluded from the attack just now that the other party was not from the Qian Yuan Sect, which controlled their Great Jin.

“Brother Wang, there’s no need for further words. This thief must be coveting the resources of our Great Jin. We should immediately summon our Ancestor and the King to join forces and kill him.”

An old prince in the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm said with a ferocious expression. He was the last to extend his divine sense to check, and he was also the slowest to react. He was the most seriously injured, and his entire leg was wrapped in that golden power, causing him unbearable pain.

Gu Yan smiled faintly again, extended a finger, gathered the power of thunder and flame, and gently touched it.

A laser beam composed of lightning and flames immediately shot out.

The old man in the golden dragon robe felt his hair stand on end. He immediately took out a black shield and, together with the others, unleashed it, emitting a large amount of dark light.

Bang!

With the combined efforts of many people, the remaining power of that finger was extinguished in just a few breaths.

Seeing this, Gu Yan let out a soft snort, gathered his power, raised his fair and delicate fist, coated it with lightning flames, and threw a punch. With endless lightning flames, it gradually transformed into a fist tens of meters in size.

Bang!

The black shield trembled violently after taking a blast of punches, emitting a cracking sound. The group of old kings were shaken so badly that their faces flushed red, and those with weaker strength even coughed up blood.

"This is too powerful, Brother Wang. Don't delay any longer, summon the Ancestor."

An old prince in the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm urgently transmitted his voice to the old man in the golden dragon robe.

Bang bang bang!

Gu Yan moved like lightning, rushing to the black shield and throwing another punch.

Bang!

With a crack, it finally succumbed to the golden power of lightning and flames. A shattering sound rang out from inside the black shield, and in the next instant, the shield began to crack.

boom!

More than a dozen old Wangs tried to raise their protective shields by circulating their internal energy, but they were still sent flying one after another.

One by one, they rubbed against the ground for tens or hundreds of meters.

At this moment, Diao Si, the nanny, and the commanders, who had been ordered to kill the enemy, arrived at the battlefield. Seeing how badly the old princes were being beaten and had no chance to fight back, their faces changed drastically and they broke out in a cold sweat.

"I have arrived."

A middle-aged man dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a large seal hanging above his head, also arrived here. At this moment, his aura had already surpassed the Spirit Sea Realm, and he could already be called a half-step Foundation Formation Realm cultivator.

As expected of the current King of Gold, he directly stood in front of all the old kings.

Gu Yan smiled faintly; this was the result he wanted to see. Looking down at them from his high position, he extended a finger again, and a golden orb of light slowly formed.

Just then, a sigh suddenly came to mind.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop."
