Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World-Chapter 362 Handu Arrives
Outside the Imperial Palace,
The guards were looking around. Now was a tense time. Everyone didn't know what the hell was going on.
Some weren't even sure if at this rate, the palace would still be standing at the end of this storm that was coming.
The guards looked at each other, and then back beyond the walls. Nothing was visible to them. They were just Nascent Soul realm and Xiantian realm cultivators after all.
No matter how much they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to detect Soul Evolution Stage cultivators unless those cultivators wanted them to.
Pan De was one of these guards. He was better than average. In the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, he would have been such a powerhouse anywhere outside the capital.
And he certainly would have been something more than a mere guard on the castle walls. But there were benefits of being a guard on the Palace walls. The resources that the Imperial Palace gave out were just way too good for him to pass by.
For anyone who wanted to become a strong cultivator, maybe even have a chance to break through to the Xiantian realm, then they would try to enter the Imperial Palace, which was a haven for wandering cultivators.
And now, he was stuck here, looking beyond the wall for a living.
But as he was doing that, he noticed a small irregularity. Beyond the vast gardens that surrounded the palace, and the few buildings in the horizon, he could see a dust cloud.
It was very far away. The vision of cultivators was far and beyond a mortal's eyes. But so was the speed of cultivators. And this dust cloud was getting bigger and bigger.
"I spotted something! Something is coming here!" Pan De shouted.
He pointed toward the dust cloud, and the guards next to him looked at the dust cloud as well.
Someone appeared next to him. It was a captain, someone in the Xiantian realm. He was strong alright, and he could see further than what Pan De could see. And his face changed.
"Activate the defending array! Everyone that matters is here anyway! Activate the array!" He shouted.
The guards immediately took out a few tokens from their spatial ring. They raised the tokens, and the tokens brightly lit up as they poured Qi into the tokens.
The Imperial Palace was probably the one power in the entire kingdom who had enough people to use Qi to start the opening of an array.
But the Xiantian expert disappeared the next moment. There was much more to be done to raise a defending array.
This expert appeared at the center of the courtyard of the palace and made a few signs.
The fountain that he was in front of suddenly started moving, and an altar raised in front of him. He then proceeded to put a high ranked spirit stone in it.
"What is going on here? Why is the protecting array being raised?" A loud voice shook this captain. It was one of the Imperial Advisors on the crown prince's side.
He looked coldly at the captain. Raising a defending array took a high grade spirit stone, something that was still very expensive, and was a waste to just use.
"Yes, third Imperial Advisor. Enemies have arrived. They are numbered more than we can go against at the moment. Not when our forces are spread so thin trying to go against the enemy within the palace walls." The captain said.
"An enemy?" The imperial advisor frowned as he disappeared, reappearing next to Pan De.
Pan De was shook. This was the first time in his five year stint as a guard here that he was looking at an expert of this caliber so closely.
He was star struck for a moment, but the Imperial Advisor couldn't be bothered in the slightest. He looked forward at the dust cloud that was almost upon them.
Now, the number of people within were visible to Pan De, and his eyes popped out of their eye sockets and went back in.
He could see thousands of people here. And in the skies, previously hidden by the dust, were dozens of experts. They were either in the Soul Formation Stage, or in the Soul Evolution stages, and for some reason, Pan De felt like it was the latter. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
But the Imperial Advisor, the imperial advisor knew. The moment he looked at them, he knew who he was looking at.
He hovered above as the protecting array was being cast, and looked coldly at the approaching army.
"Does the Handu Kingdom really want to die so badly? Do you really want to give up your life and try to attack the Imperial Palace?" He shouted.
The guards were shook. It was the Handu Kingdom that was attacking? That was a KINGDOM? Who would have thought that the first person to attack them at this time would be a freaking KINGDOM?
And the Imperial Advisor's face was frigid, but inside, he was screaming. They just got out of a tough fight with those monsters in Liu Feng and Liu Man.
But now, they had to go against the Handu Kingdom? And right then there were people inside the palace breaking into the prison? Everything was happening in the wrong time.
"I need to tell the sect master." The Imperial Advisor realized as he was about to turn around.
"Imperial Advisor! Is the protecting array going to hold?" Pan De asked. He was genuinely concerned. Were they going to hold until someone was going to come to help them out?
The people on the ground, maybe they could manage against. But the guards knew that when the experts above would make their move, the entire palace would shake, and only destruction was going to prevail.
