The Truth Revealed! Emperor Jing Xuan's Ambition!

Deep within the palace, it was exceptionally desolate.

Palace maids and eunuchs were almost nowhere to be seen.

Ordinarily, only Li Yuanfu was permitted to enter and leave this inner palace.

Not even the imperial consorts were allowed in, much less officials such as Cao Xuan.

Jiang Bei's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued darting toward the depths of the inner palace, yet he still saw no one.

Its concealment had truly been taken to the extreme.

"Hmm?"

At last, a moment later, Jiang Bei suddenly sensed something. He looked up to see more than a dozen imposing figures in armor rushing toward them from ahead!

"Who goes there?!"

"This is the forbidden inner palace! How dare you trespass? Take them down!!"

At once, the dozen armored soldiers charged toward Jiang Bei and the others with murderous intent.

"They're the palace's Imperial Guard. Their numbers are said to be small, and they are responsible for protecting Emperor Jing Xuan at close quarters!"

Duan Qingcang's expression changed as he hurriedly spoke.

Jiang Bei sensed them out. The strength of these dozen men was indeed extraordinary; nearly every one of them was a Martial Saint!

He immediately let out a thunderous roar—

"Get lost—!!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

At once, all those Martial Saints of the Imperial Guard spat blood and flew backward. They crashed down in the distance and fell unconscious on the spot!

Seeing this, Duan Qingcang and the others could not help drawing sharp breaths.

With one shout, more than a dozen Martial Saints had been knocked unconscious?

This strength... was simply too terrifying!

Jiang Bei hesitated no longer and swept directly toward the depths of the inner palace.

Very soon, the group searched nearly every corner of the inner palace, inside and out.

They found nothing at all!
