Currently, for David, a level four Immortal Realm cultivator was as easy as slaughtering a dog
David stood there, night covering his serene face.
The first.
He raised his head and looked towards the city lord’s mansion, which was brightly illuminated, symbolizing the supreme power of Jade Immortal City.
David’s gaze penetrated the darkness of the night, fixed on a relatively separate and heavily guarded building complex on the west side of the City Lord’s Mansion—the Criminal Official’s Residence.
The lighting there seemed sparser, giving off a cold and quiet atmosphere.
According to information from Lianxing, the person on duty at this time should be Tu Gang’s older brother, namely Tu Meng.
finishing off Tu Gang was just the beginning.
Tu Meng must also die.
These two executioner brothers, stained with the blood of their predecessors, Moses and his wife, would not escape.
His figure once again merged with the darkness, moving like a ghost across the roofs and alleys of the Jade Immortal City at incredible speed, yet without causing the slightest spiritual energy fluctuation, or even a ripple in the wind.
His control over his own power had reached a level of perfection.
The closer you are to the core area of the city lord’s mansion, the tighter the guard.
On the surface, a squad of Yuxianfu guards, wearing blue Daoist robes and exuding sharp auras, patrolled the criss-crossing routes.
Behind the shadows, there were also hidden detection barriers and warning arrays, dense as spider webs.
However, in David’s eyes, these things are not without shortcomings.
His divine sense, like invisible mercury, spread out soundlessly, precisely avoiding conventional detection points and penetrating the subtle gaps in the operation of the formation.
The power characteristics of chaos allow him to sense and manipulate energy to an incredible degree.
What he saw was not only the external shape of the formation, but also its energy flow and the points where the laws intertwined.
The Criminal Officer’s Residence was located within the western wall of the City Lord’s Mansion. This place was separated from the core government area inside by several courtyards and gardens, making it a relatively remote functional area, but its defenses should not be underestimated.
The exterior of the dormitory is covered in a light blue membrane, which serves as a basic protective and warning barrier. This membrane can withstand attacks of a certain intensity and detect unauthorized intruders.
David stopped in the shadow of an artificial hill, several dozen feet from the barrier.
He did not carelessly touch the barrier, but observed it carefully.
The energy flow within the barrier followed a fixed pattern, rising and falling like breathing.
At each “breath” transition, there will be a very brief energy “blind spot”, that is, an inevitable momentary delay as the formation adjusts.
This blind spot is so subtle that it is almost invisible, lasting less than one hundredth of a breath. Ordinary cultivators couldn’t detect it with their divine sense, let alone utilize it.
But David can.
He secretly calculated the frequency of the barrier’s energy fluctuations and waited patiently.
The evening breeze rustled in the garden, and a patrol passed by in the distance, their footsteps fading into the distance.
Now!
Just when the energy fluctuation of the barrier reached its peak and was about to enter the lowest point, David’s figure moved.
Without leaving a trace or making a sound, it seemed to turn into a wisp of smoke, passing through the narrow “gap” with perfect precision and entering the barrier.
Throughout the entire process, the thin barrier membrane did not even ripple.
When entering the dormitory area, the sense of oppression became even more pronounced.
The air was filled with the faint smell of blood and an evil aura formed from long-term involvement in killing.
The architecture of this residence was rough and cold, mostly made of black stone, which did not match the heavenly atmosphere of the other areas of Jade Immortal Mansion.
David’s divine sense carefully extended like tentacles.
The dormitory covers a large area with dozens of separate courtyards, most of which are dark, with only a few courtyards being illuminated.
However, the “guard room” in the central location was brightly lit, and two guards with sturdy appearances stood at the door.
Based on the rough layout and aura detection given by Lianxing, David quickly found a small courtyard near the corner, relatively remote, but at this time faintly exuding the unique blood and qi fluctuations of a cultivator of the fourth level of the Upper Immortal Realm.
That aura had the same origin as Tu Gang’s aura, but it was more refined and fierce; it must be Tu Meng.
