Chapter 433
The spiritual energy from eleven Grand Elders flowed into Lou Bingxin's dantian one final time.She didn't let it gather for long. The moment she felt herself reach capacity, she released it all at once, every last bit, nothing held back for herself, directed at the Treasury door whose gap was still barely open from the previous strike.The attack had no fixed shape. No dragon silhouette, no clearly visible wave. What left both of Lou Bingxin's palms was raw pressure that compressed the air in front of her into something that felt denser than steel.And all of it hit the door dead center.KRAAK!The Treasury door didn't simply open. Both halves, each two adult arm-lengths thick, were hurled inward, striking the floor with a sound that echoed out through the entire corridor. The door frame cracked at three points. Stone dust scattered from the gaps in the walls that shook from the impact.The corridor went silent for one full second.Then Lou Bingxin shouted. "Five elders join Lu Zongh

Xiao Peng didn't back down.He drew one breath, then let go of everything he had been holding back.A Primordial Realm third level aura exploded out of his body like a wave with no fixed shape but felt across every inch of that corridor. The stone walls shook. The spiritual lanterns on the ceiling swayed. And the pressure expanding from the figure wearing an ordinary servant's face struck everyone within range all at once.Several elders still at the lower edge of Primordial Realm staggered, dropping to one knee by reflex before they even realized what their bodies were doing. The core disciples in the back rows had it worse. Some blacked out instantly, others vomited where they stood, their knees hitting the floor with nothing they could do to stop it.The pressure was too overwhelming for bodies that weren't prepared.Lu Zonghe and Gu Yanhao didn't stop. But both were forced to slow their steps momentarily, adjusting their spiritual energy to keep that pressure from entering their m

Gu Yanhao found his disciple in the crowd and shouted immediately. "You were the one watching Rong Danian. Bring him here now."The young man nodded and ran.The crowd waited.Inside the Treasury, the sound of impacts continued one after another, rhythmic and relentless, like someone who had already decided nothing would stop them before the job was done.BOOM. BOOM.The young man came back less than two minutes later, his breathing unsteady."Elder Gu." His voice dropped. "Rong Danian isn't where he was. I searched every spot he usually passes through. He's nowhere."Gu Yanhao stared at him sharply. "Nowhere?""He's vanished, Elder Gu!"A brief silence fell over the crowd, then all eyes turned to Lou Bingxin.Lou Bingxin felt something run through her chest that she rarely felt. Not just worry. It was more than that.Rong Danian had vanished. Someone wearing her face was inside. And from the sounds still echoing behind that closed door, the protective array was collapsing one layer a

Lou Bingxin took long strides through the northern corridor toward the Treasury.The three guards standing in front of the large spiritually reinforced door bowed the moment the black-robed figure appeared at the end of the hallway."Miss Lou Bingxin."Lou Bingxin walked past them without slowing. "Make sure no one enters. I need to check something.""As you wish, Miss Lou Bingxin."The large door opened, and Lou Bingxin stepped inside. Without looking back, she closed it from within.The three guards exchanged a brief glance.The Treasury door had never been closed from the inside. The unwritten rule had been in place since the previous generation, whoever went in left the door open until they came out. But this was Miss Lou Bingxin. It wasn't their place to question it.They returned to their posts.---Inside the Treasury, Lou Bingxin's skin shifted.The Faceless layer softened and moved, and within a few seconds Lou Bingxin's face was gone, replaced by Kael's, looking calmly at th
Chapter 429
Rong Danian was crouching near the well in the back courtyard, refilling two buckets with movements that had become entirely automatic, the way someone moves when they've done the same thing every day for years without ever thinking about it. His hands worked on their own, his mind somewhere else entirely.Nothing about the scene drew any attention. An ordinary servant filling buckets. Something that happened dozens of times a day in the same courtyard.Kael stood in the corner of the courtyard, one shoulder resting casually against the wall, watching the man with the expression of someone taking in a perfectly ordinary sight.On his shoulder, a mosquito perched in silence.Kael observed for a moment, mapping who was within roughly a hundred meters of the courtyard. A few servants in the corridor near the kitchen. One disciple standing guard at a junction. Three people inside a room on the left side whose voices came through faintly.He then raised two fingers, and the Unawakened Drea

The next morning, Kael's routine ran the same as usual.A short walk, breakfast, then to Wu Shengming's room for the regular checkup. Lou Bingxin stood in her usual spot, watching with an expression that was never quite fully neutral whenever her eyes landed on Kael.Kael didn't make anything of it.He did his job the same way as the day before, methodical and professional, a remedy that was nothing more than paracetamol to ease the pain, a few brief words of explanation to Lou Bingxin about a condition that hadn't changed much, and then he left.Meanwhile, Xiao Peng was making his rounds, not in the form of a small bird, but something far smaller.---A tiny mosquito drifted slowly through the main palace corridor, no different from the mosquitoes that occasionally turned up in the damp rooms on the eastern side.Nobody paid it any attention. Nobody needed to.Inside that small body, Xiao Peng moved in a way different from the night before. As a bird, he still had a shape conspicuous
