Chapter 598: Infiltrating the royal palace (2) (1/2)

The guard on the right was stunned when he heard his friend's loud shout, before both of them turned their attention towards Xie Xingyi's direction and sent out their soul sense.

After scanning the area around her 3 times without finding anything, the guard on the right looked at his friend and said

''Ha... there is no one there. What's wrong with you? Are you really that tired? Besides, who would dare to enter this place to begin with?''

''Sigh, you are right. Was I really mistaken?''

Shun Long and Xie Xingyi both heaven out a sigh of relief when they saw this, before Xingyi headed past the 2 guards and entered the core region of the palace.

Even with her Vanishing Shadows unique physique, it wasn't that easy for her to sneak past most late-stage Nascent Soul guards. However, as long as there wasn't a Dao King present, Xie Xingyi was confident that she wouldn't be discovered as long as she was careful inside the palace.

A few minutes later, Shun Long saw Xingyi's body that had started to materialize itself in front of him, before Shun Long raised his right hand, once again opening another space tear, as he and Xingyi both stepped inside.

After exiting the space tear, Shun Long found himself standing in front of a pair of large wooden gates with Xie Xingyi standing by his side.

Although there were no guards in front of the wooden gates, from the protective formations that were engraved on them, Shun Long instantly understood that even early-stage Dao Kings wouldn't be able to force their way through and enter inside without permission.

''Is this the crown prince' quarters?''  Shun Long looked at Xingyi and asked for confirmation.

Nodding her head, Xie Xingyi had a serious look in her eyes as she answered

''Brother Long, I heard from the guards that were patrolling the last time, that this is where the crown prince stays. However, I couldn't stay for too long the last time, since there was a Dao King in this area.''

Nodding his head, Shun Long smiled lightly, before he placed his right hand around Xingyi's small waist, causing her body to involuntarily tremble by his sudden touch before he said

''Xingyi, remember to not move under any circumstances.''

As soon as he finished speaking, spatial fluctuations started to ripple around Shun Long's body, slowly expanding and covering Xie Xingyi's body as well, before their bodies both vanished in the next second.

This was the technique that Shun Long had comprehended after breaking through to the early fifth stage in the Monarch's Eternal body back in the Holy city, 'One with the world'!

In terms of concealment abilities alone, Shun Long's 'One with the world' was even better than Xingyi's Vanishing Shadows unique physique.

Although Shun Long wasn't certain if he could avoid detection from the soul sense of powerful Dao Kings while he was concealed itself with 'One with the world', he knew that the chances of doing so successfully were at least 40 to 50 percent.

As for Xingyi's unique physique, although Shun Long knew that she could still avoid the detection from most late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, avoiding the soul sense of Dao Kings was an entirely different matter.

Of course, even though Shun Long's 'One with the world' was much better in terms of concealment, Xingyi's unique physique allowed her to move while she had activated it as well, while also providing her with enhanced combat abilities at the same time.
