"Three guardians at the Fifth Daluo Realm!"
With a single assessing glance, Li Yun saw straight through the three men's capabilities.
In this small city, cultivators at the Fifth Daluo Realm were already immensely powerful, and even those at the Sixth Daluo Realm were few and far between.
Yet the Changsun Family had stationed three Fifth Daluo Realm cultivators outside this tower as guards. That alone was enough to demonstrate how special and valuable it was.
"Although I don't know whether the treasury is inside, there's no way I'm leaving now that I'm here!"
"I'd like to see just what they're protecting in there with such an impressive deployment!"
Having made up his mind, Li Yun did not act immediately.
Under the scrutiny of his Heavenly Emperor's Eye, he could see that the entire tower was no ordinary building. Rather, it formed a single entity with the grand formation, the ground, the three men outside, and its own structure.
Ultimately, the entire tower was a divine artifact, and an exceptionally special one at that. With it standing here, sneaking inside was no simple matter.
Li Yun could even clearly see unusual fluctuations within it. Even his Transformation Technique could not guarantee that he would get inside.
"Something's not right."
"A treasure this precious... does the Changsun Family really have such deep reserves?"
Feeling somewhat helpless, Li Yun examined it for a long time without finding any opening to exploit. Even the tower itself felt wrong to him.
"Looks like I can't just force my way in."
"Even though my cultivation is somewhat higher than theirs, the Changsun Family has plenty of people, including someone at the Seventh Daluo Realm. If I force the issue, the losses will probably outweigh the gains."
At that thought, Li Yun swept his gaze around.
