Chapter 594: Infiltrating the royal palace (1/2)

The palace itself seemed to have been coated by a bright silver metal, while countless protective formations that could be activated in an instant if someone was bold enough to attack it were engraved on its walls.

As for the hundreds of guards that were situated around the palace gate and were vigilantly staring at their surroundings, they were there to make sure that no one would even think of sneaking inside the palace.

Surprisingly, every single guard had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and even without approaching too close to them, Shun Long could feel that most of them were actively using their soul sense every now and then, making sure that no one was sneaking past them to enter the palace.

Naturally, even for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, using their soul sense too often was extremely draining and it would quickly exhaust them mentally as well.

At that moment, Shun Long noticed the look in Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly turning serious, as Jiang Chen looked at him and spoke in a low, almost inaudible voice

''Infiltrating this palace and killing the crown prince isn't going to be easy for us.

Unlike the 'Polar star continent' that I was living in with my father which is jointly governed by 2 peak powers, the 'Blue star continent' is one of the continents that only has one peak power controlling the entire continent fully!

The royal family of the Tang dynasty is precisely the power that controls this continent.

After all, my father once told me that the continents around the central region all need to have at least one Dao Emperor realm expert governing them, so it is likely that the Tang dynasty will also have such an expert!

Since the crown prince of the Tang dynasty is going to become the next king of the Tang dynasty in the future while he is also protected by a Dao King according to the mission, it's very likely that he is related to that Dao Emperor one way or another.''

Shun Long's eyes flashed with a bright light, as he nodded his head barely a moment later, agreeing with Jiang's Chen's words before he actually fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Liu Mei, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian all nodded with serious looks on their faces the moment they heard that.

Liu Mei already knew about the matter of a Dao Emperor needing to control every continent since Jin Wenling had mentioned this to Shun Long in the 'Alchemist's Guild' in Heaven's Dome city.

As for Bai Longtian and Xie Xingyi, as the 'young white lord' and the granddaughter of the old chief of the Xie family, they both knew about this matter already even though the Night star continent didn't actually have a Dao Emperor expert overlooking it.

Naturally, Shun Long already knew from Little Black that a Dao Emperor was hidden inside Tang city the moment that he stepped foot inside the city itself.

This was why he wasn't in a hurry to enter the palace and assassinate the crown prince.

Besides, with a Dao King protecting the prince in secret at all times the C-rank faction mission only became even more difficult.

After thinking seriously for a while, Shun Long turned his gaze towards Xie Xingyi and asked
