Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!! Chapter 390 Infiltrating the Royal Palace

*Bang!*

Dust rose in the air as the explosion from the attack caught the attention of the onlookers.

"What's happening? Did soone attack the Royal Palace?" Seeing the guards suddenly stab a place where no one was standing, everyone around the castle panicked.

"Don't be absurd, no one is that much of a fool to do sothing like that."

"But…"

"Even if nothing is happening, we should stay away from this place. Who knows what's happening here." People started to run away from the palace, seeking a safe place.

"Sir, what was that?" Not just the people around the castle, but the guards who made their move were puzzled themselves.

As the dust settled, they realized that no one was standing on the spot they had just attacked.

"I swear that I heard soone stepping there." One by one, the guards nodded solemnly.

"It's not just you alone." A stern-looking man ca forward and pointed at the small footprint on the ground. "Tell the guards that soone infiltrated the castle. Tell them only to find this person and not to engage. Soone else will deal with him."

"Soone else?" The soldiers were shocked to hear the words of their superiors.

"Why do you think we never noticed that person until the mont the sound ca?" The superior guard asked the other guards present around him. His question made the guards think about what he had just said.

"Maybe he ssed up?"

"Like he slipped while walking and made a sound?"

"Maybe it was his movent technique that made that noise." Everyone randomly threw in their guesses without even thinking, just hoping that it would please their superior. It wasn't until one of the guards, who had been thinking from the start, spoke up.

"Could it be that he wanted to let us know about his presence?" Hearing the response of the last guard, a ridiculing expression appeared on the faces of the rest of the guards.

They all thought that he was spouting nonsense, but the smile on the face of their superior told them otherwise.

"That person had the opportunity to sneak around, but he deliberately let us notice it." The smile on his face vanished as soon as it ca.

"Is he after sothing, sir?"

"I don't know! But it is clear to us that he or she wants to play with us and has the confidence to walk out of this place alive." Turning around, he continued to explain, "He could be watching us right now for all we know."

"So what should we do, sir?"

"Alert all the guards! Have them search for the intruder. I will send information to all the high-ranking officers about this person!" Facing the guards once more, he ordered all the guards in an authoritative tone. "Go!"

The man watched as all the guards ran from their posts to look for the criminal. The man also did not stay still and slowly turned towards the pathway in front of him, leading him towards the depths of the palace.

As he walked deeper inside the palace, he ca across a path decorated with well-trimd trees and bushes. Straight in front of him was a grand fountain.

The man walked past it, continuing his steps straight ahead.

"What are you doing here? This is not your area~" The man's steps ca to a halt hearing a lazy voice whispering in his ears. Despite the serious look on his face, the man flinched on the spot.

Turning around, the man looked at the person who stopped him. Upon seeing him, the first thing he did was to perform a military salute.

"Captain Black Sword! There is a breach in security. I have inford the guards to look for the intruder, but that person seems to be playing with us."

"What do you an?!" Dressed in loose white robes and a straw hat, a man walked out from under the shade of a tree.

He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him lazily. The man held his sword by the strap around its sheath with the sa laziness he was walking. To others, it would look like he would drop the sword at any mont from his hands.

"Captain, it was like this." The guard from the gate started to explain all the things that happened at the entrance of the Royal Palace.

"Good work, you can return to your post at the front gate." The man nad Black Sword waved his hand without any interest. He even yawned while speaking his words.

The man saluted without saying anything and accepted orders from his superior. As he walked past the lazy captain, he could see the man waving at him.

*Splash!* Stay tuned for updates on empire

"Cough! Arghh!" Just as the man took a step forward in the direction of the main gate, he suddenly stopped and coughed a mouthful of blood.

Looking down, he saw a black blade piercing his stomach. Looking over his shoulder, his eyes t with the sa lazy eyes, but this ti there was a sharp glint in them. "Why… captain…"

***

At the sa ti,

Deep inside the Royal Palace, in one of the several rooms, a eting was being held. The people attending this eting could be counted on a single hand.

Seated on the main seat in the room was the emperor of the Feng Empire, Wuhan. He looked down at the three subordinates standing in front of him.

Two of them were dressed in the robes of scholars while the last one was dressed in the robes of an official. He also had the elegance and the deanor of a wise person.

"Greetings, Emperor! Long Live the Emperor!" They all greeted Wuhan with their hands cupped.

"You all know why you are here, I assu?" Wuhan nodded before asking.

The minister was the first one to nod his head, followed by the two scholars.

"Forgive my insolence, but Your Majesty, why do we have to do this without the mbers of the council?" The head minister ca forward and bowed deeply to Wuhan before asking.

"You know why. I don't trust them. That's why I asked you to bring your most trusted subordinates." The solemnity in Wuhan's tone shifted the air of the room. The three of them nodded seriously hearing Wuhan's words.

"With that, let's start the eting!" Wuhan declared with authority. His eyes, brimming with determination and ambition, shone in the bright daylight.
