Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 15 The magnificent palace, the Crown Prince's residence!

The night was as dark and still as thick ink, with twinkling stars like dazzling gems, and the full moon hanging in the night sky, casting a soft and bright glow.

In the darkness of the night, Lin Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely aloof. He gazed ahead and walked slowly along the long street with light steps.

Not far from his position, despite the impaired visibility due to the night, he could still clearly see a magnificent and imposing palace standing out in stark contrast to the surrounding buildings.

The palace standing before us, bathed in the moonlight as clear as water, appeared even more clearly before our eyes. Its magnificent grandeur was breathtaking, and its resplendent golden appearance and scale were truly awe-inspiring!

"This is the Crown Prince's residence? It's truly magnificent and imposing! No wonder it's the residence of the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire! Even compared to the Hall of Offerings, it's in no way inferior!"

Lin Xiao stared intently ahead. As the distance drew closer, and the extraordinary palace gradually came into clearer view, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in awe.

The palace standing before them was no less magnificent than the Spirit Hall's main hall, and in some aspects, it even surpassed it!

It's not hard to understand, really. After all, the Heaven Dou Empire controls half of the Douluo Continent, and the residence of the Heaven Dou Crown Prince must be far larger and more spacious than other buildings.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a huge loss of face if the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire lived in a place with a low architectural scale and standard?

In terms of the scale and specifications of the residence of the crown prince, the Star Luo Empire is no exception. It actually controls half of the Douluo Continent and has endless wealth and skilled craftsmen. In terms of architecture, the Star Luo Empire is probably no less impressive than the Heaven Dou Empire.

Lin Xiao continued walking forward and soon arrived at a position about 300 meters away from the palace. From here, he could clearly see the entire view of the extraordinary palace!

In Lin Xiao's eyes, this palace was huge, extremely huge, and incredibly magnificent. Even the main gate was grand and imposing, with a height of over ten meters and a width of five or six meters!

On either side of the palace gate stood two guards clad in sturdy silver armor. A barely noticeable emblem was branded on the left breast of their armor. The guards possessed an extraordinary air about them, with resolute eyes and a silver spear gripped tightly in their hands.

The two men stood tall and straight, like strong and vigorous pine trees, firmly standing on either side of the palace gate. Their resolute eyes were full of vigilance, and they would look around from time to time!

"These are actually two Soul Saints! And they're Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level, with Soul Power levels of 77 and 78! And they're here guarding the gate!"

"Heh, I originally thought only our Spirit Hall, a sacred place for soul masters on the continent, could have the privilege of being guarded by a Soul Saint. I didn't expect that the Heaven Dou Empire would also be so meticulous about security, after all, it's the place where the future emperor will reside!"

Looking at the guards standing on both sides of the palace gate, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh. Although the Heaven Dou Empire was far inferior to their Spirit Hall in terms of high-end Soul Master combat power.

However, in terms of low-level soul master combat power, they are not as good as the Spirit Hall. But compared to some ordinary sects, the number of soul masters controlled by the Heaven Dou Royal Family is not small!

Of course, it's not uncommon for Soul Saint level experts to guard the gates, but not all Heaven Dou royal families have Soul Saint level Soul Masters serving as gatekeepers.

Otherwise, where would the Heaven Dou Empire find so many Soul Saints to provide for the royal family? Moreover, the number of Soul Masters is extremely small, and the more powerful a Soul Master is, the rarer they become!

"Who's there? Who is it!" The two guards instantly became alert when they noticed someone in the distance.

"This is the Crown Prince's Residence, a vital area of ​​Tiandou City. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach this place at night. If you insist on continuing, we will have to use physical means to drive you away!" the two guards said in unison.

As they got closer, it was only a matter of time before he was discovered. Lin Xiao ignored their words, his expression cold, and continued walking forward. He didn't take their threats to heart at all!

Seeing that Lin Xiao ignored their warnings, the two guards turned pale and stiffened. They had already explained the location, but the other party still did not stop. Did he want to die?

There are two major strategic locations in Tiandou City: the Crown Prince's residence and the Imperial Palace, where Emperor Xueye resides. These places are extremely safe, but they are also very vulnerable to assassination attempts.

The security of the imperial palace is even comparable to that of a titled Douluo, and the security of the Crown Prince's residence, the future residence of the Heaven Dou Emperor, is second only to the imperial palace where Emperor Xue Ye resides!

Over the years, countless assassins have come to kill the Crown Prince, but they have all been successfully intercepted and killed. Yet this man has swaggered here through the heavy patrols of Soul Masters.

Unless they were assassins with malicious intent, they would hardly believe it. There were Soul Masters patrolling around the Crown Prince's residence, and anyone who approached the residence would be intercepted.

Those who managed to get to the vicinity of the Crown Prince's residence without being intercepted despite the heavy patrols of Soul Masters were all extremely powerful assassins, and it was their responsibility to deal with them!

"Hmph! Since you're so stubborn, then don't blame us for taking your head!" The guard on the far left sneered coldly, his face grim, and then began to release his martial spirit.

Immediately afterwards, the spirit rings under his feet began to gradually appear, namely, yellow, purple, black, black, seven spirit rings, which is recognized as the best spirit ring configuration on the continent!

He casually tossed the silver spear in his right hand to the side, and instantly a blood-red broadsword with an extremely ferocious appearance appeared in his hand. He swung it around recklessly, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Lin Xiao with a mocking expression.

The rightmost guard was the same; the silver spear he held in his right hand was casually tossed aside at his feet, and then the spirit rings under his feet began to gradually appear, just like the guard on the left, who was recognized as having the best spirit ring configuration on the continent.

His martial spirit is an extremely hard shield, a pure black shield!
