In a side hall among the eastern palace buildings of the Imperial Palace.
"This, this is..."
Ancestor Yan Yun held his breath and focused, feeling Venerable Hun Yan's spiritual sense sweep over his head again and again. Shock and fear filled his heart.
He lowered his head and looked at the yellow robe of a royal family member that he wore close to his chest.
Beneath the yellow robe was a piece of cloth armor glowing with a faint radiance!
To be precise, it was only a fragment of cloth armor.
The fragment was only palm-sized, yet its radiance enveloped Ancestor Yan Yun completely.
Ancestor Yan Yun was both shocked and terrified.
After all, he had used his remnant soul to seize this young man's body. Although his comprehension of laws remained, his cultivation was entirely gone!
He had inherited only the young man's cultivation—the peak of the Meridian Opening Fourth Layer!
As for this young man...
Ancestor Yan Yun did not even know his name. After all, the Northern Yan Dynasty had stood for nearly a thousand years, and its royal family had countless members. Why would he pay attention to one insignificant young man?
He only vaguely knew that the young man was born to a concubine. Otherwise, he would not have lived in these remote eastern palace buildings.
Under these circumstances, Ancestor Yan Yun had no confidence whatsoever that he could evade Venerable Hun Yan's probing spiritual sense.
He could only hope that Venerable Hun Yan would make a cursory search, allowing him to slip across the sea beneath heaven's gaze!
Yet just now, Venerable Hun Yan's spiritual sense had already swept past several times!
And he still had not discovered Ancestor Yan Yun!
"This cloth armor is no ordinary thing!"
Ancestor Yan Yun was utterly astonished.
