Three Days Later
After the quick and strange incident of the dark walls descending upon the imperial palace, the entire imperial capital had returned to an eerie calm.
Strangely, there wasn't a single casualty during that terrifying event.
And following the chaotic night of the invasion, the mysterious cloaked assailant's sudden retreat, and Li Feng's overwhelming display of power, the palace had been thrown into high alert.
The grand protective formations were strengthened overnight, and elite guards along with high-level experts were deployed everywhere, searching desperately for any trace of the culprit.
But despite three days of intense efforts, true peace had suddenly returned.
...It was as if the mastermind behind the attack had abruptly pulled back all forces, leaving only silence in their wake.
Of course, that was only the surface.
Beneath the peaceful atmosphere, a swirl of unease lingered inside the palace.
