It is the imperial palace after all.
The interior space here is quite large.
Even though Xu Yang was constantly releasing his powerful mental power to the surroundings and searching for the road hidden in the darkness, he still almost got lost here.
More importantly, Xu Yang soon discovered that all the original guard sequences inside the palace had been forcibly changed by the disciples of the dark forces.
The last time Xu Yang brought Long Kun and Qing Ya into the Imperial Palace, Xu Yang had quietly used his mental power to engrave the entire area location of the palace in his mind.
As well as the layout of the guard group that once existed here, now it conflicts with everything that was previously imprinted in Xu Yang's memory.
The reason for this situation is that after the fake emperor left the palace and went to the imperial front, all affairs within the imperial palace were under the full control of the high priest alone.
Disrupting the original order of all the warriors and guards inside the palace is also a sacrifice.
After all, he had undertaken such a big project just to create as much trouble as possible for Xu Yang.
Obviously, his goal has been achieved.
If it were before, Xu Yang would have used his supreme power without hesitation to raze the imperial palace to the ground, and all the troubles would have been solved.
But now he has too many concerns and there is no way to cut the Gordian knot so quickly.
Because these disciples of the dark forces and the priests who controlled them behind the scenes used methods that exceeded Xu Yang's assessment of their bottom line.
These people are simply unscrupulous. As long as they can achieve their goals, they will not even hesitate to sacrifice millions of people in the entire imperial capital.
Facing these extremely vicious guys, Xu Yang must slow down his pace, otherwise even if he can eventually kill all of them, he will probably pay a greater price.
He really didn't want those innocent people to be dragged into this war for no reason.
"Um?"
At this moment, Xu Yang was carrying the woman in red and leading Nangong, Xuan Guang, and Lan Ling'er towards the end of the longer path of the imperial palace.
Xu Yang's mental power is so strong that he can often predict the actions of the dark force disciples approaching this side in advance and adjust the direction of movement in time, which reduces a lot of pressure for several people in the team.
Unknowingly, they had arrived at the end of the main road leading to the backyard of the imperial palace. However, from a dark corner ahead, a very powerful martial arts aura suddenly emanated, attracting the special attention of Xu Yang and his companions.
“Take a walk and have a look.
Half-immortal fortune-telling, everything is up to fate.
The donors in front of you, why not ask me to look at your faces and predict your fortunes. "
Suddenly, an experienced voice came from the dark corner.
Xu Yang raised his hand slightly, and a faint flame slowly rose, lighting up the view of the end of the road for the people around him.
Sure enough, they saw an old fellow in Taoist robes, with an immortal look. He was sitting with his legs crossed, stroking his white beard leisurely, with his eyes half closed, as if he had been sitting here waiting for Xu Yang and his companions for a long time.
"Are you kidding me? You're setting up a fortune-telling stall in the Imperial Palace?
Don't tell me this old guy is also a member of your elders council!"
Xu Yang felt a little helpless, wondering why there were so many weirdos in this so-called number one martial arts force in the empire?
Hearing Xu Yang's somewhat unfriendly tone, Nangong and Xuanguang, who were about to respond, instinctively shut their mouths.
The woman in red on Xu Yang's back smiled and whispered in Xu Yang's ear, "You are truly the smartest and most handsome man in the world.
This old man is one of the seven people in our elders' group. You must not regard this old guy as a good person. He is a well-known liar in our group. He is willing to tell fortunes for anyone he catches.
If he happens to be in a good mood, he will definitely tell you a good fortune.
If he encounters something unlucky today, the fortune I tell you will definitely be worse than his own."
Facing the complaints from the woman in red on his back, the old man in the corner chuckled without waiting for Xu Yang to respond.
Before they could even see what movements his body made, the old Taoist had already arrived in front of Xu Yang and his companions with a white whisk in his hand.
Regardless of whether he is an old liar or not, at least the strength of this old guy in front of him has undoubtedly reached the level of a martial god."
"You little girl, you are wrong.
I see you still wearing red clothes in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. There will be a bloody disaster today.
Why don’t you come over and let me calculate your fortune again carefully!
Maybe I can help you get rid of this appearance."
The old guy was still talking shamelessly.
At the same time, he shook the whisk in his hand lightly, inadvertently releasing a very strong special smoke that could confuse people's minds.
Xu Yang sneered, and could see at a glance that this old guy's methods were not worthy of being mentioned in public.
His feet shook violently, releasing an extremely powerful martial arts aura, which directly sent all the eye-catching fog back.
Just this slight movement made the old man in front of him open his eyes wide.
Then he couldn't help but smile towards Xu Yang in front of him.
“I say you guys are really clinging to outsiders. No wonder the priest asked me to wait for you guys here and told me to tell fortunes for each of you in advance!
Because this may be the last fortune-telling in your life."
It can be seen that this old guy's soul is also controlled by the disciples of the dark forces behind the scenes.
However, Xu Yang soon discovered that the strength of the old man in front of him seemed to be stronger than the guys in the elders behind him.
At least there was no blood-red color in his pupils.
This indicates two things. First, the old man's soul world is one level higher than the other martial gods of Changyun Tianzong. Second, the evil thoughts inside the old man's soul world should not be released by a puppet of the golden robe believer's level, but most likely by the priest himself.
If you want to help this old guy find his true self, it may be a bit more difficult than before.
But for Xu Yang, this just increases the difficulty of the game.
He then put down the woman in red behind him.
Soon a serious expression appeared on his face, and he looked into the eyes of the old man in front of him.
