Once the men from imperial royal family broke off the energy shield of the protection array, they
became excited. Their eyes shone with fervor and anticipation. They started rushing towards the
palace gate. They were hungry—like an impoverished man who had just sighted food. They looked
crazy.
The man in the golden robe took the lead. He stamped the long golden spear right beside his foot. All
of a sudden, the spear exploded into a shining golden light and dashed towards the palace gate at
breakneck speed.
The palace gate was made of two giant, formidable rocks. It was tightly shut.
The man in the golden robe drove the golden spear under his foot and rushed to the gate. He didn't
linger. That shining sharp golden spear-light boomed onto those two rocks.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the two rocks turned into tiny pebbles by the sharp golden spear-light, remnants
of the rocks spattering into the air.
The man in the golden robe bolted and disappeared through those crushed stones like a sharp arrow.
He had broken into the palace!
At the same time, the handsome man in the yellow clothes entered immediately after the man in the
golden robe. He stepped inside the palace.
The rest of the members from the imperial royal family also activated their bodily movement skills. In a
moment, all of them broke into the palace.
"Tin, shall we go in too?"
When Dewey saw that everyone from the imperial royal family had entered the three-layer palace, he
asked Austin anxiously.
Maria and others also looked at Austin, eagerly waiting for his reply. In this small team, Austin was
obviously the most authoritative one. It was his word that would be considered as final.
Austin used his spiritual sense power to lock ten shadows at the edge of square. They had a
considerably strong presence. The ten shadows were going to move soon.
Austin knew that these ten people would definitely break into the palace once they realized that the
people from the imperial royal family had entered. They were obviously unwilling to lag behind. Without
doubt, they would enter and fight for the treasure inside.
Austin thought that if his team went in at this moment, there would be too many people in the palace. A
conflict would break out and the casualty rate would skyrocket.
Austin's plan was to let those ten shadows go into the palace first. He would then take his team at the
end. This would help them assess the situation in its entirety.
He wanted the two groups battle it out first. When their scuffle would draw to an end, he would take his
team to swoop in and clean the mess. The survivors would be killed swiftly and the treasure would be
theirs.
Austin knew clearly that there were two strong cultivators of Sky Realm in the imperial royal family. The
ten shadows that were hiding at the edge of square were also powerful.
In his team however, other than his own strong power, Dewey, Maria, Iris and Anna made up the entire
team and they were too weak.
This meant that out of the three groups who arrived at the palace, his team was the weakest in regard
of cultivation.
That was why Austin didn't want to be rash in his decision-making. There was no point being hasty.
"We will take our time. Let us be patient."
Austin said to the other four.
As expected, there was some movement from the square.
They heard a sound which went "haw-haw-haw" coming from the edge of square. It sounded similar to
crying night owls.
In fact, they were laughing. Then, the ten shadows appeared in the square.
In front of the gate of the three-layer palace, they used bodily movement skills and floated through the
gates like ten ghosts.
When Dewey and the others saw the ten shadows popping out from nowhere, they were startled.
Austin of course was not. The four of them hadn't reached Mysterious Realm. Hence, they hadn't
generated their own spiritual sense powers. That was why they were unable to know the existence of
these ten people beforehand.
"Go. Let's go in.
Remember that when we go inside, we must perform no more than our capability. Whenever we have a
chance, we will take the opportunity to seize some treasures.
I have to remind you that the people from the imperial royal family and ten people who just entered all
have powerful cultivation bases. If we get into any conflict with them, our lives would be in great peril.
If the situation is critical, you will withdraw immediately. Do not be reluctant. Life is more precious than
treasure.
My goal this time is to reach the third floor of this palace. I will rush to the third floor and at the same
time, I will try to grab as many treasures as possible. Don't worry, I will obviously give you some later."
In Austin's Soul Sea, there were details about the Emperor Library sent by Angus. With the help of the
details, he had come to know that the most precious treasures were in the third floor of the palace. He
didn't care about the treasures in the first or second floor. He had set his goal.
At the same time, Austin was worried that Dewey and the rest would have a conflict with the other two
groups because of the treasures. With the cultivation bases of Dewey and the rest three, if a conflict
broke out, it would be next to impossible for them to defend themselves.
Austin warned them categorically.
When Dewey, Maria, Iris and Anna saw Austin's solemn face, they knew that they had to follow what he
said and not budge and inch from his orders.
Besides, the four of them were not people who would react impulsively. They knew Austin was being
reasonable. Their cultivation bases were too weak. The most important thing for them was to keep their
lives intact. If they died, it would be pointless for dead people to have tons of treasures.
They nodded their heads in agreement.
"Okay. Let's go inside."
Austin waved his hand and asked four people to activate their bodily movement skills. They darted into
the palace.
Just as they entered, a sense of intimidation prevailed over them. Right in front was a vast hall.
In this hall, there was some awe-inspiring power that was in display. The power was great enough to
make people feel themselves really small and insignificant for unknown reasons.
Fortunately, the power would gradually become weak enough. Otherwise any cultivator would be
suppressed and would be unable to move.
Feeling the power remained everywhere in the hall, Austin also felt the tension. The owner of the
Emperor Library must be horrible. Judging by the power that remained, people were already feeling
insignificant. Austin couldn't imagine how horrible the owner would have been when he was alive.
As they just entered into the hall, Austin and his teammates lifted their heads to see what was inside.
The sight stunned them.
In the hall at this moment, two groups who had entered were now standing opposite to each other. It
seemed that a verbal fight had already transpired.
Austin and his teammates also found another shield in front of them. Above the shield, seven colors
kept rotating and layers of energy ripples oscillated from time to time.
The space that the shield enveloped was massive. In the shield, hundreds of colors were dancing and
it looked like a swirling set of rainbows.
Every color seemed to hide a book. The flashes of colors kept dancing inside the shield.
More than that, above each color, a number was displayed. Some number had the digit five. Some had
six.
Hundreds of colors pirouetted around with those numbers.
"Books about martial arts!"
Every one narrowed their eyes when they saw those dancing colors in the shield. They all gazed in
eagerness. Everyone was sure that those dancing colors were the books about martial arts that were
famed to have been housed in the Emperor Library.
