"Saint-level warriors are hidden from outsiders. I wonder if there are other masters of the Yuling Realm in the palace?"
"So what? Eunuch Huang has already joined us. The Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fifth Elder, and I are all at the peak of the Spirit Control Realm. With the cooperation of the Grand Elder, what in the world can't we rule?"
Dugu Xin pondered.
No one would have thought that this prime minister who was busy in the court was actually a peak-level Spirit Control Realm cultivator.

"Yes! No one would have thought we would launch a surprise attack at this time."

"Your Majesty, last night many eunuchs and maids in the palace packed up their belongings and prepared to leave during the chaos. What should we do with them?"
