Then he spent the next half hour thoroughly searching the study.
Besides the book "The Great Art of Soul Travel," he only found a book as thick as a brick called "The Complete Book of Basic Supernatural Abilities."
This book records the most widespread and basic attack, defense, and support supernatural abilities and techniques circulating in the Iron Dimension.
Although Xiu had taught him almost everything, Lan Tianyu still kept it.
The reason he stayed was to leave it to Tian Xin and the others, since they had only learned one freezing technique so far.
Having acquired two books, Lan Tianyu no longer lingered.
He quietly left the study and closed the door again.
Guided by his intuition, he walked deeper into the palace.
After passing through several winding corridors, the view suddenly opened up ahead.
But Lan Tianyu stopped in his tracks.
A group of high-level demonized ability users, clad in specially made black armor, exuded an aura far more ferocious than the guards outside, their eyes like those of hungry wolves ready to devour their prey.
Just like a rock, it stands guard before a much heavier gate, made entirely of an unknown black metal, its surface engraved with intricate magical runes.
They weren't on patrol; instead, they were rooted to the spot, their dozen or so sharp, knife-like eyes scanning every inch of the surrounding space.
Lan Tianyu smiled wryly upon seeing this, feeling that it was somewhat like trying to hide something obvious.
It's obvious without even guessing that something extremely important must be hidden behind that door; otherwise, there would be no need to go to such lengths to send so many experts to guard it.
Although his invisibility cloak is powerful, it cannot pass directly through a human body or a metal door.
To get in, you have to take care of the guards at the entrance.
He quietly walked to a stop a few meters in front of the guard.
A dozen pairs of vigilant eyes were watching his direction, but they were completely unaware.
Lan Tianyu's eyes were playful. He suddenly raised his right hand, his palm facing the group of guards at the door who stood like statues.
"Voris, woorabaha!"
【Coagulation Technique】
hum!
More than a dozen beams of white light shot out from his palm like arrows released from a bow.
Although several guards sensed something amiss the moment Lan Tianyu raised his hand, their muscles instinctively tensed as they tried to dodge or defend themselves.
But the distance was too close, and the attack came without warning.
More than a dozen beams of white light hit the target with perfect accuracy.
In an instant, the elite guards at the gate didn't even have time to utter a muffled groan.
His body was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost that emitted a chilling aura.
They remained frozen in place, frozen in shock, anger, and a posture ready to retaliate, turning into more than a dozen lifelike ice sculptures.
Only the eyeballs could still move in terror beneath the ice.
Lan Tianyu still did not reveal his figure.
He stepped forward like a ghost, pushed aside the two ice sculptures blocking the massive metal door, and placed his hand on the cold door.
This door is unusually heavy, clearly containing mechanisms or restrictions.
But he didn't care. A powerful force erupted, combined with his internal energy, vibrating the door lock structure.
A few extremely faint cracking sounds came from inside, and he silently pushed open the heavy metal door a crack.
He slipped inside and gently closed the door behind him.
The guards outside the door, frozen in place, had eyes filled with utter horror.
They watched helplessly as the heavily guarded gate was pushed open and then closed again by an invisible force, without even seeing a trace of the intruder.
This bizarre scene sent chills down their spines, colder than the frost on their bodies.
The space behind the door wasn't particularly large, but it was unusually cold and damp.
The air was filled with a dense, almost impenetrable, and chilling pure demonic energy.
As soon as Lan Tianyu entered, his gaze was immediately drawn to the scene in the center of the room.
In the center of the room stood thirty-six black stone pillars, each about half a person's height.
At the top of each stone pillar rests a stone the size of a watermelon.
These stones are entirely black, yet their surfaces shimmer with a deep, living black light.
They lay quietly on the stone pillars, their pulse beating slightly like a heart.
With each pulse, it exudes an even richer and purer demonic energy.
The concentration of demonic energy in the entire room was almost liquefied.
"what is this?"
Lan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, a slight doubt creeping into his mind.
Through the spell "Six Eyes," he could see clearly.
Inside those unassuming black stones, unimaginably pure demonic energy was compressed.
This is extremely poisonous to ordinary righteous supernatural beings, and they should avoid it at all costs.
But for Lan Tianyu, who possesses the Reversal Technique, this is a priceless treasure, enough to elevate his strength to a new level.
"Haha, Ye Xiong Ba, I'll gladly accept these things!"
···Requesting flowers···· ·····
Lan Tianyu laughed inwardly, a smug smile curving his lips.
Without further hesitation, he swung his hand sharply.
The immense internal energy, like an invisible hurricane, instantly swept through the entire room.
call!
All the stones on those thirty-six stone pillars emitted a deep, dark light.
As if grabbed by an invisible hand, they instantly transformed into streaks of black light, rushing into the storage ring on his finger.
When the last stone disappeared into the storage ring's entrance.
The concentration of demonic energy in the entire room suddenly dropped, becoming empty and cold.
Lan Tianyu subconsciously sensed the internal space of the storage ring.
The originally spacious ten cubic meters of space was now completely filled with black stones and various miscellaneous items, leaving almost no gaps!
. ...... ....
"Tsk, what a huge haul! My storage ring is bursting at the seams."
He looked at the empty stone pillar and smiled with satisfaction.
This trip was definitely worth it!
He didn't linger and instantly teleported away along the same route.
Having tasted success, Lan Tianyu naturally wouldn't stop there.
He decided to continue exploring the black palace to see if he could find anything else.
however.
He had only walked a short distance forward.
A series of dense and heavy footsteps came from ahead, mixed with the faint sound of metal armor rubbing against each other.
"Patrol team? Or something else?"
Lan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, reacting extremely quickly.
He looked around, his figure moving like lightning, and silently leaped onto a thick roof beam above his head, which was carved with magical patterns.
Even though he was wearing an invisibility cloak, the person who touched his body would still be able to sense it.
Just in case, let's hide it for a while first.
The sound of footsteps came from far to near.
A group of about twenty well-equipped, ferocious-looking demonized superhumans escorted a figure as they approached.
The person surrounded in the middle was wearing a magnificent brocade robe.
His face was pale, as if he had lived a life of luxury, and his eyebrows bore a striking resemblance to Ye Xiong Ba.
After a moment's thought, Lan Tianyu remembered who this person was.
Ye Xiongba's nephew, Ye Sisi!
He looked down at Ye Sisi, who was under tight protection, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and a plan was forming in his mind.
Although Ye Sisi is Ye Xiongba's nephew, it doesn't mean that the two are on the same page.
【171】I've come to bring you good fortune!
Although Ye Sisi is Ye Xiongba's nephew, it doesn't mean that the two are of one mind.
Using this as a starting point, we might be able to plant a nail.
Even if they can't kill Ye Xiongba by underhanded means, they can at least obtain real-time information about him.
However, with so many people around and so many eyes on the matter, it is clearly not a good time to implement the plan.
He held his breath and moved silently along the roof beams like a real shadow, following the group from a distance.
The group eventually stopped at the end of a relatively quiet corridor in front of a carved wooden door.
Ye Sisi waved her hand expressionlessly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible fatigue and irritation:
"Stay outside. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"Yes, Second Young Master!"
The guards responded in unison, forming an impenetrable barrier around the entrance.
Ye Sisi pushed open the door, went inside alone, and prepared to close the door.
"197" "A great opportunity!"
Lan Tianyu thought to himself.
He slid down from the roof beam like a ghost.
Concealed by the invisibility cloak, the figure clung to the crack in the door, silently slipping into the room at the last moment before the door closed.
He looked around and found it to be a luxuriously furnished but somewhat dull bedroom.
Expensive carpets, mahogany furniture, exquisite decorations, and a faint fragrance in the air, yet it all gives one a sense of oppression.
As soon as Lan Tianyu slipped in, Ye Sisi slammed the door shut and locked it.
He turned around, and the mask of calm he had maintained on his face instantly crumbled, turning him incredibly gloomy, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Humph!"
Ye Sisi slammed her fist on the mahogany cabinet next to her, making a dull thud.
He suppressed his voice, growling through gritted teeth:
"They said they'd make me the acting leader, but instead they used the pretext of sending people to protect me to monitor and imprison me!"
"They treat me like a caged canary, with no freedom whatsoever!"
He became increasingly angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.
"In the end, that old Deng didn't trust me at all!"
"In his eyes, I will always be that useless Muggle good-for-nothing, only fit to be a mascot!"
Lan Tianyu stood hidden in a corner of the room, clearly hearing Ye Sisi's resentful whispers.
