I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 154 Devastated
"There are assassins!"

"An assassin has infiltrated the palace!"

"It's Pavilion Master Wu from Canglan Pavilion!"

The palace guards were immediately shaken and rushed towards Su Yuan's location without hesitation.

As the royal guards, they were absolutely loyal to the Dayong Dynasty and were ready to die for the emperor at any time.

"That Pavilion Master Wu actually dared to sneak into the palace?" The twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards also received the news.

Several months ago, the twelve commanders joined forces and used military formations to entangle with Su Yuan at the inner city gate at the end of Zhuque Avenue.

"We absolutely cannot allow this Pavilion Master Wu to run rampant in the palace!"

The twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards immediately rushed towards Su Yuan's location.

Not long ago, the previous head of the Canglan Pavilion infiltrated the palace and stole a broken-level martial arts manual.

If Su Yuan were to succeed again, where would the dignity of the Dayong Dynasty be?
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Emperor Dayong's expression turned cold. He never expected that Master Wu of Canglan Pavilion would actually dare to sneak into the palace.

And how could they sneak into the palace without any restraint?

The former head of Canglan Pavilion even knew to have people attack the royal palace to attract attention, while he secretly infiltrated the palace himself.
But Su Yuan?

They didn't make any of these preparations at all!
Is this a sign of disrespect towards the Dayong Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards have already arrived, and tens of thousands of Imperial Guards have surrounded them. That Pavilion Master Wu has no chance of escaping!"

The old eunuch beside him said in a low voice.

"Of course I know that!"

Emperor Dayong's expression was indifferent. With the strength of that Pavilion Master Wu, if he hadn't been on the Red-level wanted list, he could have easily sneaked into the palace without a sound.

He must be scared.

After all, Pavilion Master Wu is widely recognized as a top-ranking expert, no less than his great-uncle.

But now?
Under the red-level wanted order, Su Yuan's location was clearly visible to everyone.

Even someone of the highest rank could not possibly withstand the combined might of tens of thousands of Imperial Guards and twelve peak-rank Imperial Guard commanders.

Moreover, his great-uncle was also in the palace.

Therefore, in Emperor Dayong's eyes, when Su Yuan was discovered to have infiltrated the palace, he was essentially a dead man.

Compared to the orderly atmosphere inside the royal palace.

Outside the royal palace, the capital city was plunged into a brief period of chaos.

The Red-level wanted notice covers the entire capital city, so many experts within the capital city also received news that Pavilion Master Wu of Canglan Pavilion had infiltrated the palace.

"Holy crap, Pavilion Master Wu really infiltrated the palace."

"No wonder my friend in Canglan Pavilion told him that all the members of Canglan Pavilion went to the four city gates."

"That's not right. All the members went to the four city gates. Did Pavilion Master Wu sneak into the palace alone?"

"This shouldn't be considered infiltrating the palace alone, right? They're on a red-level wanted list."

Many citizens and players of the Empire were discussing it.

In recent months, Imperial Citizen players who have entered the Shattered Void World have found it difficult to escape the shadow of Pavilion Master Wu.

One of only two top-grade items in the world?
How could one person single-handedly resist the existence of the Dayong Dynasty?

The master of Canglan Pavilion, the largest player faction?
With so many accolades, no player who is an empire citizen can afford to ignore Su Yuan.

"This is troublesome for Pavilion Master Wu."

"With a red-level wanted notice on him, and in the royal palace no less, Pavilion Master Wu will likely face certain death."

"Pavilion Master Wu has been careless. As the master of Canglan Pavilion, he actually ordered all his subordinates to attack the four major city gates?"

The imperial citizen players were exchanging ideas, and most of them were not optimistic about Su Yuan, after all, that was the royal palace.

So what if it's top-tier?
There are certainly top-tier experts within the royal palace.
Inside the royal palace.

A large number of imperial guards came to surround and kill them.

Su Yuan, wielding a silver spear, swept it horizontally.

A terrifying power erupted, coupled with an invisible spiritual force that enveloped and covered everything.

The large group of imperial guards who had surrounded them suddenly became unsteady, and were then severely wounded and sent flying by a sweeping silver spear.

at this time--

The twelve concealed auras suddenly exploded, quickly merging into one, forming an incomparably terrifying aura that rapidly approached Su Yuan.

The twelve commanders of the Imperial Guard who operate the military formations.

The twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards were all at the peak of the first rank. However, after operating the military formation, they could integrate their minds and power into one, unleashing power that was almost beyond the first rank.

"The commander has arrived!"

The appearance of the twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards revitalized the morale of the surrounding Imperial Guards.

Several months ago, the twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards were entangled with Su Yuan for a long time at the end of the Vermilion Bird Avenue.

"Sect Master Wu, die!"

The twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards appeared from all directions around Su Yuan and immediately launched an attack simultaneously. With the support of the military formation, all the attacks were as one.

"The commanders are stronger than before."

The Imperial Guards, whose strength had reached the first rank, were full of admiration. Clearly, after their last encounter with Su Yuan, the twelve Imperial Guards commanders had learned from their mistakes and further enhanced the power of their General Formation.

"Ah-"

Su Yuan thrust out his spear, piercing the head of one of the Imperial Guard commanders. With one of the twelve Imperial Guard commanders gone, the formation collapsed without a fight, and the remaining eleven Imperial Guard commanders retreated violently.

"what?"

The eleven commanders stared wide-eyed. The twelve commanders operated their military formation, their auras merging into one. Attacking one of them was equivalent to attacking all twelve of them, which was the most powerful aspect of the military formation.

So Su Yuan killed one of their Imperial Guard commanders so easily?
"Why are you so strong?"

After the eleven Imperial Guard commanders realized what was happening, they couldn't help but tremble. Clearly, they had noticed the change in Su Yuan's strength.

A few months ago, they could barely hold their own against Su Yuan?
But now? Su Yuan broke through the army formation with a wave of his hand and killed a commander.

This level of strength is far greater than it was a few months ago.

"too weak."

Su Yuan sheathed his spear and glanced at the fallen Imperial Guard commander.

In his last encounter with the twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards, his combat bonus had just exceeded 180 times, placing him at the level of a newly promoted first-grade warrior.

Although the gray mirror can reveal the weaknesses of a military formation and thus break it, it still takes dozens of moves to do so.

And now? Su Yuan's combat effectiveness has increased by more than 290 times, which is completely different from what it was a few months ago. He can break through the military formation of the twelve Imperial Guards commanders without even needing to ask the gray mirror. He can do it with a wave of his hand.

When there is a huge gap in strength, all skills become meaningless.

Given Su Yuan's current strength, the only tactic the Shattered Void World could use to kill him is a sheer numbers of people.

Only by using sheer numbers to exhaust Su Yuan's physical strength and stamina can they hope to wear him down.

As long as his physical strength and endurance are not exhausted, Su Yuan is invincible.

This is also why Su Yuan ordered all members of the Canglan Pavilion to go to the four city gates to block the millions of troops outside the city from entering.

"Come on, everyone."

The remaining eleven Imperial Guard commanders, steeling themselves, gave the order, and at the same time, the eleven of them formed a military formation once again.

However, compared to the twelve-man formation, the eleven-man formation is clearly weaker.

"Outlast him!"

The eleven commanders of the Imperial Guards dared not confront Su Yuan directly, and could only restrain him from the perimeter, allowing the numerous Imperial Guards to wear down Su Yuan's stamina.

"Noisy!"

Su Yuan took a step forward, his figure like a ghost, and appeared in front of one of the Imperial Guards commanders, then thrust out with his spear.

The second commander of the Imperial Guards is dead!
With the Imperial Guard Commander at their command, all the Imperial Guards seemed to have a backbone, which indeed helped to wear down Su Yuan's physical strength.

Therefore, the commander of the Imperial Guards had to die first.

"How is this possible?" The second Imperial Guard commander looked at the spear that had pierced his chest. He had been careful enough, hiding among the many Imperial Guards, and with the strength of the eleven-man formation, he still had no ability to resist Su Yuan's killing intent.

puff!
Su Yuan drew his spear and continued his attack on the other Imperial Guard commanders.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

The Emperor of Dayong, his gaze cold, said, "I want to leave that Pavilion Master Wu with a whole corpse, skin him alive, stuff his skin with straw, and hang it below the city gate to intimidate all the strange people in the world."

In recent months, the number of superhumans has surged again, and with Su Yuan leading the way, the superhumans seem to have little respect for the Dayong Dynasty.

This time, the Emperor of Dayong decided to use Su Yuan's corpse to show all the extraordinary people in the world what the consequences would be for opposing the Dayong Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Oh no."

Suddenly, a member of the Imperial Guard rushed in, looking flustered, to report.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Dayong frowned.

"Commander Ruan An is dead." The imperial guard's face turned pale.

"Ruan An is dead?" Emperor Dayong's expression changed.

Ruan Anzheng was one of the twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards and was his confidant.

"Ruan An is dead? Didn't he promise me that if he encountered that Pavilion Master Wu again, he would definitely kill him?"

Emperor Dayong looked grim.

But before he could finish speaking...

Another Imperial Guard rushed in.

"Your Majesty, Commander Zhou Xiong is dead."

"Your Majesty, Commander Zhao Qin is dead."

In just a few dozen breaths.

News arrived that twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards had died in succession.

This caused Emperor Dayong's expression to change constantly.

If it were only the death of a commander of the Imperial Guards, the Emperor of Dayong would be furious.

But all twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards were dead? Emperor Dayong was filled with fear.

what does this mean?
This means that the Imperial Guards in the palace are no match for that Pavilion Master Wu, and with the deaths of the twelve Imperial Guard commanders, Pavilion Master Wu will become even more unscrupulous.

"how come?"

Emperor Dayong found it hard to believe. Just a few months ago, hadn't that Pavilion Master Wu fought back and forth with the twelve commanders of the Imperial Guards?

How come it's only been such a short time, yet the commander of the Imperial Guards is killed so easily?
"Grand Uncle, where is Grand Uncle?"

Emperor Dayong composed himself, barely managing to calm his emotions, and looked at the old eunuch beside him.

"Your Majesty, our ancestor is guarding the ancestral temple."

The old eunuch hurriedly said, admitting that he was also very flustered at that moment.

"Ancestral Temple!"

Emperor Dayong immediately understood his uncle's meaning.

Master Wu of Canglan Pavilion sneaked into the palace alone without making any preparations.

The uncle had reason to suspect that Master Wu might be a decoy, used specifically to lure him over.

Was someone else the one who truly stole the shattered-level martial arts manual?
Was all of this a scheme by Pavilion Master Wu to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Therefore, the great-uncle did not rush to surround and kill Master Wu, but stayed in the ancestral temple.

Ever since the incident where the former head of Canglan Pavilion infiltrated the palace to steal a shattered-level martial arts manual.

The nine shattered-level martial arts manuals in the royal palace were all moved to the ancestral temple and guarded by the grand-uncle, who was of the highest rank.

"Where is Master Wu now?"

Emperor Dayong took a deep breath and asked.

"He's heading towards the ancestral temple."

The Imperial Guard's voice trembled as he gave the final report.

The deaths of twelve Imperial Guard commanders threw the Imperial Guards into disarray, and even with countless lives sacrificed, they could not stop Su Yuan's advance.

"Ancestral Temple."

The Emperor of Dayong looked terrified, "Grand Uncle."

Emperor Dayong looked towards the ancestral temple. If it were before today, he would have had absolute confidence in his great-uncle. With the numerous imperial guards cooperating within the palace, whoever came would die.

But now?

Emperor Dayong was filled with deep doubt.

Could his own top-ranking grand-uncle really stop that Pavilion Master Wu?
Outside the royal palace.

Many Imperial Citizens have already gathered around.

"How long do you think Pavilion Master Wu can hold out?"

"At least half an hour. With Pavilion Master Wu's strength, if he wants to suppress them in a short time, the Dayong Royal Palace will inevitably pay a heavy price. Will several Imperial Guard commanders die? Or will that top-rank expert be seriously injured?"

"Half an hour? Isn't that underestimating Pavilion Master Wu? After all, he's one of only two top-tier cultivators in this world."

"Let's see what Emperor Dayong decides. Anyway, I can't understand that Master Wu's scheme. Does he think he can sneak in unnoticed?"

Many citizens of the empire were watching the show, and it was a fortunate thing to witness the dignified Pavilion Master Wu suffer a setback.

however.

As time goes by.

The expressions of the Imperial Citizens who were watching the show gradually changed.

Su Yuan was placed on the Red-level wanted list, meaning that any powerful figure within the capital could see his exact location.

They even knew whether Su Yuan was dead or alive.

Once a person dies, the Red-level wanted notice will be cancelled.

In the sight of all the Imperial Citizens, the red dot representing Su Yuan's location inside the palace did not disappear.

Instead, they charged towards the depths of the palace at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Although many Imperial Citizens and Players were unaware that all twelve Imperial Guard commanders had died at the hands of Su Yuan.

However, seeing how quickly Su Yuan penetrated the palace, he realized that the imperial guards inside the palace probably couldn't stop Pavilion Master Wu at all.

"Fuck, what happened?"

"Sect Master Wu, Sect Master Wu has gone berserk in the palace?"

The players, who were citizens of the empire, were deeply shocked.

Deep inside the palace.

Blood and dismembered limbs were everywhere.

Su Yuan held a silver spear, and the imperial guards surrounding him trembled with fear, not daring to step forward.

Although the Imperial Guards were absolutely loyal to the Dayong Dynasty and willing to die for it, they were also human beings who knew fear. They were afraid that their own death would lead to their demise along with the enemy.

They did have the courage to do that.

But is it really possible to perish together with Su Yuan?

Along the way, countless Imperial Guards have died at Su Yuan's hands.

But the opponent remained calm and did not slow down their attack at all.

"arrive."

Su Yuan ignored the thoughts of the imperial guards around him and looked into the distance.

A magnificent temple appeared there; it was the ancestral temple of the Dayong Dynasty, enshrining the successive emperors of Dayong.

The shattered-level martial arts manual that Su Yuan wanted was inside.
