Li Cang Lan only came back to his senses long after Zhang Yang had left.
The way such great cultivators came without a shadow and left without a trace made him feel deeply uneasy.
He was an emperor, not a true cultivator, so he was especially afraid of assassination.
For that reason, many eunuchs in the imperial palace had been arranged to cultivate, and none of their realms were low.
Even so, they still could not guard against it...
Zhang Yang could come here today—what if other assassins came another day?
He drew a deep breath. "Attendants!"
Eunuch Qing, a Peak Dao Integration Realm cultivator, appeared in an instant. With lowered brows and an obedient expression, he asked, "Your Majesty!"
Li Cang Lan looked at Eunuch Qing and said, "Sect Master Daoxuan came here just now."
Eunuch Qing instantly raised his head, glanced at Li Cang Lan, then lowered it again. "This old servant sensed nothing... Your Majesty, Sect Master Daoxuan's Dao arts have long surpassed mortal comprehension. Not to mention that this old servant is merely in the Dao Integration Realm—even those in higher realms likely could not detect him."
"I know," Li Cang Lan said flatly. "This is not your fault."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. There are only a few people like Sect Master Daoxuan in the entire world," Eunuch Qing added.
Li Cang Lan waved his hand, pondered for a moment, then took out four Soul Power Pills and handed them to Eunuch Qing. "One is for you. They are said to be divine pills capable of increasing Divine Soul Power. As for the other three, choose three people and train them.
"I have only one requirement: no one is to appear in my bedchamber so casually ever again!"
"Yes!"
"Go!"
Li Cang Lan waved him away.
