Chapter 536: Chapter 289: 2 Emperor-level
The foreknowledge entered a three-minute countdown.
If nothing goes wrong, he would die in this last side palace.
“What’s in that side palace?”
The memories he had obtained from the Fourth Prince quickly flashed through his mind, as he tried to find related information.
[This side palace is not big, and it is not conspicuous among many buildings. You explore the side palace, and two minutes later, you find that it doesn’t seem to be a mysterious place, just the residence of an ordinary clan elder.] [Feeling puzzled, you were about to continue your search when suddenly, a Spirit-Level old man opened the palace door and entered the side palace. The old man discovered you and immediately questioned how you got in.]
[You recognized the old man from the Fourth Prince’s memory. He is an old man named Zhu Shengyi, one of the many clan elders in the palace, as well as the master of this side palace.]
[You didn’t answer the old man but used the Power of Divine Soul to subdue him, intending to get the secret of this side palace from him.]
[To your surprise, the old man seemed to be at the Spirit Level, but he burst out with King-level strength the moment he realized you were making a move. You instantly knew something was off and wanted to end the fight quickly.] [However, your interaction was immediately noticed by other powerful beings. In the blink of an eye, three ancestors of the Daxuan Royal Family appeared.] [After finding out that the strength you demonstrated was far beyond what the Fourth Prince should have, the several ancestors instantly judged that you were not the Fourth Prince and attacked you together.]
[Three minutes later, you died.]
“An ordinary clan elder actually has King-Level strength!”
Surprised by the information in the foreknowledge, Su Nan found that elder in the Fourth Prince’s memory at this time.
In the Fourth Prince’s memory, there were quite a few clan elders in the palace, who used to hold high positions. However, now they were retired and living in the palace, unconcerned with worldly affairs.
“An old man who is only at Spirit Level on the surface but has King-Level strength – this is obviously a problem!”
Looking at the panel’s information, Su Nan’s eyes flickered.
It was clear that either this old man named Zhu Shengyi was problematic, or the side palace itself was problematic.
Su Nan was more inclined to believe it was the latter.
After all, the demon bloodlines in this world were strictly controlled by various major forces. Without the permission of their respective forces, it would be impossible to cultivate to King-Level in secret.
“Continue foreknowledge.”
There were still foreknowledge opportunities left, so Su Nan didn’t stop.
As expected, this time he only consumed one foreknowledge opportunity.
In this foreknowledge, he didn’t explore other places but went straight to that side palace.
[You wanted to enter the side palace but were stopped by its master, the old man named Zhu Shengyi. You didn’t give up and waited in the dark for the old man to leave.]
[Half an hour later, the old man left, and you came to the side palace again. The door was locked, so you used the Across the Heavens Shift to enter directly.]
[Once inside, you didn’t waste any time and quickly began searching for anything unusual about the side palace. After thirty minutes of searching, you finally discovered the problem.]
[You found that under a cupboard in the side palace, there was a passage extending downward.]
“A passage? I knew something was off!”
“Now that’s interesting.”
Su Nan became intrigued and continued to read.
[It was a carefully constructed passage, paved with bluestone. You quickly entered the passage, following the downward ladder.]
[The passage sloped downward for a kilometer. A minute later, you came to the end of the passage, and a heavy stone door was in front of you.]
[There was no place to open the stone door, and you didn’t know how to open it. In order not to attract attention, you had to use the Across the Heavens Shift again.]
[After passing through the stone door, you appeared in a narrow corridor. Three minutes later, you reached the end of the corridor, and a stone door was in front of you again.]
[Standing before the stone door, you observed it carefully. Suddenly, a withered arm pierced through the door, and before you could react, it grabbed your throat.]
[You died.]
“What’s going on?”
“There’s a Peak King-level existence behind that stone door?”
Su Nan was startled.
To kill him without giving him a chance to react, it would take at least a Peak King-level moethod to do so.
Although there were plenty of King-level beings in the Daxuan Royal Palace, such as those elders from his previous premonition, he hadn’t encountered a Peak King-level being other than the Paper Puppet Demon.
It was no wonder that he was astonished when one suddenly appeared.
“Strange, according to the premonition, that person should be trapped there, but with that person’s strength, it shouldn’t be possible for them to be trapped there.”
It wasn’t easy to trap a Peak King-level being.
Not every place was like the Kun Tian Prison.
Curious, he looked at the last premonition chance and didn’t hesitate to predict again.
[Three minutes later, you came to the end of the corridor, and a stone door appeared before your eyes. Without hesitation, you immediately used Across the Heavens Shift and successfully passed the stone door.]
[You saw that it was a small stone room, and the moment you entered, a withered hand grabbed you.]
[You died.]
[Before you died, you saw a shriveled, unkempt old man with an indescribable appearance standing in the dark stone room. With a suffocating pressure, you sensed that it was definitely not something a King-level martial artist could possess. At the same time, you found that the old man’s breath was strange, like a dead person, devoid of life.]
