The cultivators of the royal family knew that the energy shield in the palace contained less energy than
that in the square. So, when the first group of the royal family arrived at the palace, they had
immediately launched an attack on the energy shield with their strong vital energy force. With more
than twenty cultivators attacking the energy shield, it began to tremble violently.
If they continued with it, in no time, the shield would completely break.
The force was already enough to break the energy shield in time, thus, the golden-robed young man
and the handsome youngster in yellow no longer contributed. Instead, they positioned near the door to
stop the ten intruders.
Meanwhile, the tall young man leading the ten cultivators to rush towards the door of the palace was on
his early twenties. He was wearing a red hooded cloak. Despite being covered from head to toe, his
exuding strong demonic aura was undeniable.
There was an eye-catching scorpion tattoo on his forehead emitting a hideous aura. The pattern was
so realistic that it looked real and frightening.
The nine cultivators lined up behind the young man in a red hooded cloak. Each of the nine cultivators
gave off a negative aura of fury, hatred, resentment, and evil.
Austin sensed the diabolical auras the ten were exuding through his power of spiritual sense. With a
grim expression on his face, he wrinkled his eyebrows as he felt the enormous force from the group.
The face of the young man in a red hooded cloak rang a bell in Austin's mind. He knew that he had
seen this young man somewhere before. Austin focused on the young man's face and after a while, his
face lit up as he had finally recognized him.
The strange young man had participated in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games on behalf of the
Ninth Prince.
He had an unusual way of defeating his opponents. If his opponents were weak, he would put them
under an illusion by looking into their eyes, then they would eventually surrender on their own will.
With his bizarre technique, this young man had made it into the top fifty. But somehow, he didn't sign up
for the finals.
Even though he didn't push through to the finals, this man had left a deep impression on those who
witnessed his strength and fighting technique. Since then, Austin had paid attention to him.
Austin never thought that he would meet someone like that young man in his life ever again. But when
Austin got into the Emperor Library, he was surprised to see another nine young cultivators who gave
off the same evil aura as that young man did.
Austin was curious which sect these ten mysterious cultivators were from.
Aside from Austin, the golden-robed young man and the youngster in yellow also furrowed their brows
at the sight of the ten cultivators who were trying to break in into the palace.
"Hello! I'm Graham Pang from the royal family. This is Bruce Pang.
This palace is a property of the royal family and only members from the royal family can get inside.
Anyone who dared to defy the rule would be sentenced to death!"
Graham Pang, the golden-robed young man, announced coldly with a grim expression.
"You can turn around and leave. We will let this pass and save you from any punishment," Bruce Pang,
the young man in yellow, chimed in.
Unlike Graham Pang, Bruce had no intention of getting into a fight with the ten wicked cultivators. After
all, he was only after the treasures, so he didn't want to waste time dealing with unimportant people.
But despite his friendly tone, a threat could be sensed in his choice of words.
As Graham Pang and Bruce Pang spoke, they each released an overwhelming vital energy force
aiming at the ten young cultivators.
From the amount of vital energy they displayed, the two were indeed masters at the Sky Realm.
Releasing an overwhelming vital energy force was a subtle way of telling their opponents that they
were members of the royal family and masters at the Sky Realm.
The royal family had become a symbol of power being which was more influential than any other sects
in the Violet Orchid Empire. If a member of the royal family was disrespected or bullied by a disciple
from a sect, they would retaliate and destroy the whole sect without remorse. Thus, no sect ever dared
to go against any member of the royal family.
Besides, most of the members of the royal family were cultivators at the Sky Realm.
None of the sects had a cultivator who had reached the level of the Sky Realm. Thus, it was only
natural that these sects fear and respect the royal family.
Graham Pang and Bruce Pang considered themselves the best among the hundreds of cultivators.
With this, they believed that no one would be brave enough to provoke them in the Mysterious Nether
World.
The two members of the royal family thought that the ten wicked cultivators would get flustered and run
away after they displayed their vital energy force fluctuations. But things didn't go as they planned.
The wicked young man with a scorpion tattoo on his forehead suddenly laughed hysterically. His
creepy voice echoed like a ghost's wails and a wolf's howls.
As he laughed, a powerful vital energy force emerged from his body and formed a shield in front of him
which fended off the vital energy force of Sky Realm Graham and Bruce had unleashed.
Graham Pang and Bruce narrowed their eyes in disbelief. 'Who could this person be in front of us?' the
two wondered.
It turned out the wicked young man with a scorpion tattoo was also a cultivator at the Sky Realm based
on the power he had unleashed.
Meanwhile, Austin could feel the tremendous force released by the man with a scorpion tattoo. Even
from afar, he could feel the aura of the man.
'How is it possible?' he wondered to himself.
"Is this a joke? I have never thought that the royal family would really think highly of themselves.
You could have succeeded if we were different. But today is not your lucky day. You chose the wrong
person to threaten with your nonsense!
Forgive me, but I don't give a damn about your so-called law.
From now on, everything in this palace belongs to us. I would just walk away if I were you. I won't
hesitate to kill you even if you are members of the royal family!" the wicked young man with a scorpion
tattoo said menacingly.
The rest of his companions stared at the two cultivators of the royal family indifferently. The
expressionless look on their faces gave off a lifeless and creepy ambiance.
"You're daydreaming! Don't think highly of yourself, you peasant! How dare you!"
The faces of Graham and Bruce turned dimmed and their eyes fuming in rage as they talked back to
the young man with a scorpion tattoo.
The faces of Graham and Bruce turned dimmed and their eyes fuming in rage as they talked back to
the young man with a scorpion tattoo. Since they were members of the royal family and masters at the
Sky Realm, they had not met any person who dared to defy their orders. That was why they were so
furious at the humiliation they received.
"Enough of this nonsense! Time to deliver you to your Creator!
Don't worry! I'll be quick so you won't feel any pain!" Graham declared grimly.
He took a stride forward and immense vital energy gushed out of his body. The power from Graham's
body was so intense that it created a loud static sound as it collided with the air.
