In the dark night, the sound came abruptly.

The sound arrived first, but no shadow was seen.

Captain Yang heard the sound and couldn’t help but rejoice, quickly kneeling in the direction of the sound.

"Lord Anying."

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared.

The figure came unexpectedly, Tu Suxia and Mo Wu and the others did not notice at all.

"Go. Don’t let him discover us."

At this time, from within Xin Lin, Gui Hu’s voice came through.

Without Gui Hu’s prompting, Xin Lin already sensed something was off, she saw the ghostly figure and knew something was wrong, pulling Zhao Xiaohu and started running.

If they delayed any longer, they might be discovered by that figure. Fortunately, the plan was nearly complete; with the appearance of this figure, Tu Suxia and his group could only consider themselves unlucky.

"Little Boss, haven’t..." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zhao Xiaohu still wanted to say something but was dragged away by Xin Lin.

"Who are you?"

Tu Suxia looked at the figure before him... Or perhaps, it was more accurate to call him a shadow.

The figure was a mass of darkness, only a vague shadow could be seen.

"The people in the Imperial Palace are all shadows. I am the guardian of the Imperial Palace."

The shadow replied lightly.

The guardian of Longteng Palace?

What kind of bizarre thing was that?

Tu Suxia and Mo Wu and the others were all filled with surprise.

They had never heard of such an existence in Longteng?

The shadow before them had an unstable aura, its strength hard to gauge.

"You have violated Longteng’s ban and must accept punishment. Those who sell or purchase forbidden medicine without permission, confinement for one month,"

The shadow said.

"Confinement for one month? What kind of joke is this, we’re supposed to participate in the Little Eagle Chick Conference, a month later the conference will begin!"

Chang Yan and the others murmured.

Tu Suxia’s face was equally grim.

He was ordered to trace the whereabouts of the Dragon Vein, he could not afford to waste a month.

"For killing an Imperial Army member, fifty lashes."

The shadow continued as if it hadn’t heard them.

"President Tu Su, let’s attack together."

Mo Wu and the others looked at the sky, it was about to dawn, yet that little doctor named Xin Lin hadn’t showed up.

Their shadows had already guessed that the one who set them up was likely Xin Lin.

As soon as they returned to Qingtian Academy, they would make her pay.

"Attack together!"

The moment Tu Suxia’s voice fell, five people struck together.

Their cultivation was exceptional, and when they struck, it was overwhelmingly powerful, five people with five different types of True Qi and Spiritual Energy.

Yet in an instant, the shadow in front of them vanished.

"Two crimes in one, confinement for one month, fifty lashes."

As the shadow disappeared.

A mist immediately spread around them.

"Why is it foggy again?"

Mo Wu and the others were surprised.

But slowly, their sounds vanished.

"Lord Anying?"

Captain Yang was filled with panic.

The mist gradually dispersed.

When the scene before him became clear, Captain Yang’s pupils shrunk intensely, he couldn’t utter half a word.

The four members of Star Academy, including that President Tu Su, had already turned into five stone statues, petrified, standing there motionless.

That fog?

Although he had long heard of Lord Anying’s formidable skills, this was Captain Yang’s first time witnessing Lord Anying’s true power, so frightened he dared not make a peep.

"Take all of them back, imprison them in the Heavenly Prison, wait until their petrified state resolves after 24 hours, then fifty lashes for each."

After speaking, the shadow vanished from sight.

It took Captain Yang a long while to regain his composure.

Shortly after the shadow disappeared, it quickly appeared at the place Xin Lin had earlier been hiding.
