Rise of the Demon God

ndows.

He landed on the entrance of the Palace as there was no other way to enter.

There was one guard standing right in front of the massive doors of the Palace, separately from the other guards.
The guard seemed to be wearing Steel Armor.
Long Chen couldn ’t feel any Cultivation from the guard, which made him believe that the guard was a Spirit Warrior.

He landed ten meters away from the guards.
His Heavenly Demon Wings disappeared, but his Shadow Transformation was still active.

He wondered if he should simply kill the guard to enter since he didn ’t otherwise.
To open the door, he needed to have the guard move away but killing a guard wasn ’t something he wanted to do here since that would make the Royal Tutor increase his Security or go into hiding.

After thinking for a few seconds, he did come up with a good idea.

He walked behind the guard and stood between him and the door.
He didn ’t open the door as the sound of the door opening would alert the guards that were just in front of him.
Instead, he looked at the back of the guard.

”What the heck! Intruder! ” The guard suddenly called out as he started running away from Long Chen and from the palace.
A smile appeared on Long Chen ’s face as he watched the man get farther and farther from him.

Only when he thought the man was sufficient distance away from him, he turned back with a sneaky smile.

The guard who was running away from Long Chen wasn ’t actually running away from him, but he was running towards a man that was running away from him.
He didn ’t know that the man he was following wasn ’t real but just an illusion that Long Chen had created using his Law of Illusion.

As Long Chen turned back, the illusion was broken.
The guard saw the man he was chasing disappear.
While Long Chen opened the door of the Palace and stepped inside, he stood there confused, looking blankly in the direction the man had disappeared.

By the time he turned back, Long Chen had already closed the door of the palace.

The guard didn ’t find anything suspicious as he turned back.
He walked over to the fellow guard who were standing in the circle some distance away from him to ask if they saw a man running towards them.

Long Chen entered the palace that seemed as empty as it could.
It was pitch black inside the Palace.
No speck of light could be seen here, but Long Chen didn ’t have any difficulty seeing inside since his Law specialized in darkness.

He also canceled his Shadow Transformation.
The Palace was already dark enough where no one would be able to see anything, so he didn ’t see any benefit in keeping himself invisible.
Also, as far as his eyes could see, this place was empty.

He also used his Divine Sense to see if there was anyone, but the place was completely empty.
There was no one on the ground floor.

He walked up the stairs onto the first floor and walked around, using his Divine Sense.
Soon, he was done with the entire palace.
He found not a single person inside.

”The Royal Tutor is not inside.
Where did he go this late at night? ” He muttered as he frowned.

’Whatever.
I have this palace to myself, at least.
I can search without having to worry about anything.
Hopefully, he didn ’t take the Phoenix Blood Robe when he left, ’ Long Chen thought as he entered one of the palace rooms that he thought to belong to the Royal Tutor.
He started his search.

He searched the entire room, but he didn ’t find anything.
Nothing of value was inside the room.
There at only some clothes in this room.
He thought that maybe it was not the Royal Tutor ’s room and moved over to the next room to search, but the result was the same.
The next room didn ’t have the Artifact he was looking for either.
