Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Found Qin Yaotiao, But Was Knocked Out!

Lu Chen arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace and, seeing only two martial artists guarding, pretended to just pass by.

After figuring out their routine, he restrained his aura and leaped over the wall with his own strength.

He was extremely careful, relying on his extraordinary memory to make his way towards the Eastern Palace.

In such a situation, Xu Qianqian couldn’t possibly be lying to him, but it was still wise to remain cautious.

Inside the palace, there seemed to be a silence of sorts, save for the guards on duty; no one else was around.

It seemed that everyone else had gone to participate in the selection event of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion.

Being on duty within the palace might have meant a life free of worries about food and clothing.

But what mortal doesn’t yearn for the path to immortality?

Lu Chen had also deliberately chosen this time, so he could enter more easily.

But he still didn’t dare to be negligent.

His experiences over the years had made him exceedingly cautious.

Sometimes, a slight carelessness could lead to a dead end.

Not to mention, there were four Core Formation Stage cultivators from the Hehuan Sect within the palace!

Even as composed as Lu Chen was, as he gradually neared the Eastern Palace, he couldn’t help but become nervous.

Fortunately, he had pupils in his eyes which, even without using spiritual power, allowed his sight to far exceed that of an ordinary person thanks to the abilities of the pupils themselves. He could always spot a guard before being noticed.

"When the selection at the Heavenly Pill Pavilion begins, that’s when I’ll make a dash for the Eastern Palace!"

Although there was still some distance to cover, he could hear the hubbub from there, indicating it was bustling with activity.

As soon as the cultivators from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion announce the start, there will certainly be cheers. Once they reach this place, it will be his moment to move!

Lu Chen lay in a bush, not daring to blink, peering through the gaps in the foliage at the situation in front of him.

In not too long, the sun was high above his head, and the time had come!

From the city center, there came a sudden burst of rowdy noise.

The commotion was so intense that it shook the whole palace, and even the ground trembled.

Lu Chen didn’t have time to be surprised; his body shot out like an arrow!

The Eastern Palace was just over fifty yards away.

Without using spiritual power, it would take him dozens of breaths to reach it.

He hoped the noise would last a little longer, and that he wouldn’t be detected by the guards here!

If he encountered anyone...

He would have no choice but to silence them!

A flash came from Lu Chen’s hand, and suddenly, he held the Mysterious Iron Spear!

Clutching it in one hand and crouching low, he moved as stealthily as possible, using the surrounding rockery and shrubs for cover.

But just as he was about to dash into the garden of the Eastern Palace, four figures suddenly rose into the air not far away!

They weren’t using Artifact Control, so they must be at the Core Formation Stage!

And with four of them, these were clearly the four Core Formation elders of the Hehuan Sect, who had come for Chen Gaoshang’s death along with Yan Zhiyi!

Lu Chen was shocked at the sight, and, seeing a pond in front of him, he didn’t hesitate to plunge into it with a leap!

Weren’t those at the Core Formation Stage supposed to start their challenge tomorrow?

Why were they emerging now?

And all four at the same time?

Hiding underwater, Lu Chen didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

Especially when those four figures lingered in the sky for a moment, his heart was in his throat!

Only after they departed toward the city center did Lu Chen dare not relax. He leaped from the water and rushed into the Eastern Palace!

"Where are you, Yaotiao? Where are you?"

Lu Chen called out silently in his heart, looking around until he finally saw a closed room, a figure flashing past the door and windows!

"There!"

With a surge of happiness in his heart, without a second thought, he ran over, pushed the door open, and entered!

But unexpectedly, a palm imbued with spiritual power swung towards his face!

Lu Chen, being only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and meeting the palm head-on without using Artifact Control, was immediately sent flying by the blow!

Suffering an injury to his chest, Lu Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, coughing out blood and his head spinning in dizziness!

But before passing out, he saw a blurry figure—it was Qin Yaotiao!

"Young Master!"

The cry of surprise followed suit.

With a joyful smile on his face, Lu Chen’s head tilted as he fell into unconsciousness!
