Their steps were perfectly synchronized, their eyes scanning every corner like those of hawks, their vigilance was extremely tight.

In the shadows, countless subtle fluctuations of demonic energy intertwine like a spider web, monitoring every slight movement.

However, this was observed by Lan Tianyu after he activated his "Six Eyes".

This seemingly impenetrable defense, however, is as ineffective as the Maginot Line.

The patrol routes, the intervals between shift changes, the positions of the sentries...

He saw everything clearly.

His gaze pierced through the layers of obstacles and landed on the invisible transparent shield that covered the entire manor.

"Tsk, they're really cautious..."

Lan Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This transparent protective shield is essentially a highly concentrated barrier of demonic energy, solidified in some way.

Not only is its defensive capability astonishing, but it also functions like a giant alarm.

Any unauthorized energy touch or physical passage will instantly trigger an alarm and bring about a thunderous attack.

"However, this is no problem for me."

Lan Tianyu's lips curled slightly as he moved like a ghost towards a relatively secluded corner on the outskirts, where a patrol team had just passed by.

This location is about 100 meters away from the nearest hidden sentry post, making it a relatively weak link in the defense network.

He stopped in front of the barrier and extended his fingers, which were covered by the invisibility cloak.

At the fingertip, a point of pure white light quietly condensed.

Reversal technique, activated!

call out!

A thin, white beam of light shot precisely at the transparent barrier of demonic energy.

laugh!

Like a red-hot iron pressed onto thin ice.

The area of ​​the barrier struck by the white light emitted a slight corrosive sound for a moment.

【169】The Soul Travel Technique!

The area struck by the reversal spell emitted a slight corrosive sound for a moment.

The highly condensed demonic energy was forcibly disintegrated and purified, transforming into a wisp of barely perceptible primordial energy.

At the same time, an irregular gap, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, instantly appeared on the transparent shield.

The moment the gap appeared, the shield's powerful self-healing ability began to activate, and the surrounding demonic energy surged wildly in an attempt to fill it.

Now!

Lan Tianyu did not hesitate at all.

Within a mere fraction of a second from the appearance of the gap to its beginning of healing.

His figure, like a spring compressed to its limit, squeezed through that tiny gap in an instant.

The whole process was lightning fast and completely silent.

The moment he entered, the gap in the barrier quickly closed up as if it had never been damaged.

Inside the manor.

Lan Tianyu walked through a bunch of artificial hills and finally arrived at the residential area.

He looked around and saw a typical layout of a classical Eastern garden.

Small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and towers, and artificial hills and strange rocks dot the landscape, creating a tranquil and elegant environment.

If it weren't for the faint, chilling demonic aura permeating the air, barely perceptible to ordinary people, one would almost think this was the residence of some reclusive master.

However, in the center of this group of antique-style buildings...

A magnificent palace, entirely constructed of massive black stones, stood out like a crane among chickens.

Its 197 design is ferocious, with sharp lines, exuding a heavy, oppressive, and chilling demonic aura.

It stands out starkly and conspicuously from the surrounding elegant gardens.

Most importantly, it occupies about one-tenth of the entire estate.

Lan Tianyu's gaze locked onto the black palace, which was clearly the core location of the Yehenara family.

If there are any treasures at all, they are probably hidden there.

Without further delay, he swaggered off towards the black palace.

During this time, they encountered several patrolling guards and the occasional passerby who appeared to be ordinary servants or family members.

But no one saw the invisible Lan Tianyu.

The closer to the center, the higher the density and intensity of the guards.

The phrase "a guard every three steps, a sentry every five steps" is no longer sufficient to describe the situation.

The patrols were more than three times more frequent than those on the outer perimeter, and the members' auras were noticeably stronger, with sharper eyes.

The hidden sentries were so numerous that they almost completely blocked out all possible blind spots.

The entire black palace area was filled with a suffocating and chilling atmosphere.

Lan Tianyu stopped and hid under a huge artificial mountain a hundred meters away from the black palace.

After observing for a moment and confirming that there were no hidden traps ahead, he no longer hesitated.

They emerged from behind the artificial hill, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

He walked straight toward the palace door, made of thick steel and engraved with hideous demonic patterns.

At the gate stood two teams of twelve high-level demonized ability users, each with a fierce aura and sharp eyes like hawks.

They stood on either side like stone sculptures, vigilantly scanning their surroundings for any slight movement.

Lan Tianyu walked confidently through them, under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen people.

Even the tip of one of the guards' noses was less than ten centimeters away from his invisible body.

However, thanks to the absolute invisibility of the invisibility cloak, it did not alert anyone.

He entered the black palace silently, like a true ghost.

The palace was unusually empty.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge council chamber.

Two rows of cold, heavy seats made of obsidian.

They are neatly arranged on both sides of the central passage, extending all the way to the highest platform at the deepest part.

Above the high platform was an even larger throne, carved with dragon patterns, radiating an invisible pressure.

The entire council chamber was empty and somber, filled with a suffocatingly cold atmosphere.

"Wow, this place is huge, where should I even begin?"

Lan Tianyu stopped in his tracks, starting to struggle with the situation.

He looked around the empty palace and the closed side doors, and decided to use the fairest method.

He extended a finger covered by the invisibility cloak, pointing it at several side doors and passageways in different directions, muttering incantations:

"Whoever the little rooster points to, I'll choose!"

The fingertip finally stopped in a room on the right side of the palace.

This was an unremarkable room with its doors tightly shut and a heavy iron lock on it.

"You are the one."

Lan Tianyu smiled slightly and walked in the direction he had chosen.

Upon closer inspection, the heavy iron lock gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.

Lan Tianyu reached out and gently grasped the lock.

To avoid making a noise while unlocking the lock and alerting the guards, he muttered to himself:

"Mute, Ulabhaha!"

[Silence Technique]

An invisible force field instantly enveloped him and a small area around the door lock.

Then, he squeezed the lock slightly with his fingers.

Click!

The seemingly sturdy iron lock snapped in two as easily as rotten wood.

Lan Tianyu gently pushed open the heavy iron door without making a sound.

He slipped inside and closed the door slightly behind him.

Behind the door was a spacious room.

Rows of tall ebony bookshelves are neatly arranged.

The top was densely packed with various thread-bound ancient books, leather scrolls, and modernly bound books.

The air was filled with a faint scent of ink and the unique aroma of old paper.

The room was spotless, clearly indicating that it was regularly cleaned.

"This is actually a study?"

"As expected of the largest demonized family in the Iron Dimension, they do have a lot of books."

"However, I'm afraid not much of it will be useful to me..."

Lan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, then looked somewhat disappointed.

He moved quietly, like a shadow, weaving among the bookshelves.

I quickly scanned the titles and summaries on the spines of the books.

As he expected, most of the books were historical biographies, geographical anecdotes, demonic secrets, family genealogies, and autobiographies about the Iron Dimension and even the twelve dimensions...

It was quite valuable, but for him, who urgently needed to improve his strength, it was like a useless commodity.

He patiently browsed from the bookshelf by the door all the way to the deepest part of the room.

Just when he thought the trip would be fruitless.

My gaze swept over the top shelf of a bookshelf in the far corner.

An ancient book bound with dark purple silk thread, with no words on the cover but emanating a faint spiritual fluctuation, caught his attention.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, silently rising to the top and easily taking the book down.

Untie the threads and open the cover.

The title page prominently displays four large characters written in modern script.

That's the Soul Travel Technique!

Lan Tianyu was slightly surprised, but having read the original work thoroughly, he immediately recognized the manual.

This is a secret ability passed down by the Yehenara family, which allows cultivators to separate their primordial spirit from their body and travel beyond the physical world.

"nice one!"

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and without any hesitation, he directly put the precious manual into his storage ring.

With this book as a safety net, this trip will definitely be worthwhile.

[170] My storage ring is full! Yehenara Sisi!

With the "Soul Travel Technique" as a safety net, this trip will definitely be worthwhile.
