Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 427 Do you want to commit assassination in the palace?
Guo Min quickly told Su Lian everything he needed to say.

Then, she slowly stood up, looked around leisurely, and couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Xiao Lian, I have been in this palace for almost twenty years."

"I once considered this place my home and poured all my efforts and years into it."

"Now, it's time to leave forever. Looking back, everything I've experienced here feels like a dream."

"Now, it's time to wake up from the dream. In fact, I should have understood long ago that this dream will eventually end..."

She paused slightly, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and then said:
"Xiao Lian, don't send me any more. I have already received your kindness."

After Guo Min finished speaking, she tightly grasped the ox horn hairpin given by Su Lian and waved gently at Su Lian, as if saying goodbye to the past years.

Then she turned around, took slightly heavy steps, and walked away with Xiao Fuzi.

Su Lian stood quietly there, staring blankly at Guo Min's figure gradually disappearing from her sight.

Suddenly, her mind was like a floodgate opened, and many thoughts that she had never had before came flooding in like a tide.

Guo Min has a home outside the palace and her family is looking forward to her return. Once she leaves the palace, she can return to her warm home and reunite with her family.

But what about Su Lian herself?

She had lost her family long ago and had been trapped in this cold palace since she was old enough to understand.

Although this place carries her youth and memories, it is destined not to be her home.

Moreover, one day in the future, she will leave here forever like Guo Min and step into the unknown world outside the palace.

At that time, Su Lian couldn't help but ask herself, who could she turn to? And where could she go?
Su Lian was completely bewildered and momentarily distraught, as if she were trapped in a thick fog, unable to find her way forward...

…………

the other side.

Liang Jin was still standing guard at his post with an upright posture as usual.

He was worried about Su Lian, so he quietly used the feature of [Thousand Mile Tracking] to carefully check Su Lian's location. He saw that Su Lian was indeed staying near the laundry department.

As long as Su Lian does not deviate from her normal route of activity, there will be no danger.

If she really encountered any accident, Liang Jin would definitely rescue her at all costs.

Today, Liang Jin is no longer as afraid of the palace as he was before.

Although he currently does not have enough strength to confront the power of the entire palace head-on, it is not difficult for him to escape with just one person.

Liang Jin knew very well that there were still masters hidden in this palace.

The kind of top master that he cannot defeat with his current strength!

All these discoveries originated from Liang Jin's insights in [Nine Sky Boundless].

Liang Jin's original body can freely utilize the characteristics of all his clones, and [Nine Sky Boundless] is naturally no exception.

Therefore, Liang Jin cleverly divided the [Nine Skyless Boundaries] into two halves early on. One half was reserved for the use of the clone named Song Jiang in Changzhou, and the other half was under his own control.

Immediately, Liang Jin's mind moved slightly, and he activated [Nine Sky Boundless].

In an instant, he entered another strange and mysterious place.

……

Here, it seems as if time has stopped in the night, and it is an endless night.

No matter how long we stay here, the sky is always shrouded in darkness, without a trace of light.

On the equally inky black ground, a huge city sits quietly.

Under the night sky, the city looks like a huge and precisely arranged chessboard. The buildings in the city are lined up in rows and densely distributed, like chess pieces on the board.

The tall city walls stand majestically, with their eaves raised high, as if to pierce through the endless darkness. The battlements are arranged like sawteeth, exuding an ancient and majestic atmosphere.

In the very center of the city, there is a magnificent palace, which is magnificent and shows the dignity of a king.

This is certainly not a city of unjust death.

All warriors who come here can recognize this city at a glance. It is exactly the same as the real capital!
Every house, every street, even the imperial palace, which symbolizes supreme power, is exactly the same, with no difference at all.

It’s a perfect replica of the capital!
The only difference is that it is dead silent here, with no people, no lights, and no life at all, like an empty city forgotten by time.

Until hundreds of warriors appeared out of nowhere, breaking the silence.

These warriors are all top-notch people in the real capital.

Of course, this was not their first time to come to this mysterious place, and they were already very familiar with everything here.

Therefore, no warrior tried to leave this city that looked like the capital.

Because they already knew that outside the capital, there was an invisible and indestructible barrier, as if this was the end of the world and no one could cross it.

The warriors began to wander aimlessly around the capital, and there was silence all around.

Although their faces were blurry, unlike the warriors in the City of the Dead, they could not communicate with each other because Liang Jin deliberately turned on the silent mode, making it impossible for everyone to communicate verbally.

Without communication, conflicts are likely to arise.

Many warriors started fighting as soon as they met, drawing their swords and starting to fight.

Because everyone understands that as long as they die in this strange place, they can leave here completely.

Liang Jin, on the other hand, was like a God high above, silently watching the every move of these warriors from a perspective overlooking all living beings.

In this [Nine Sky Boundless], he did not apply the game-breaking mode adopted by Song Jiang's clone.

After all, the warriors here are too powerful. If they adopt that mode, they can easily pass the level.

Liang Jin's sight first fell on a warrior in the palace.

This is a skinny old man with a white face and no beard. He exudes a chilling aura. He is a very poisonous person.

Every time he entered [Nine Skies Without Bounds], no matter where he landed in the capital, he would always walk alone and silently towards the direction of the imperial palace, and finally sit quietly beside the emperor's dragon throne in the Golden Palace, like a statue guarding the Golden Palace.

At first, some ignorant warriors would come to the Golden Palace when they were exploring the palace. Some even dared to try to sit on the dragon throne that symbolized the supreme imperial power, wanting to experience the feeling of being the only one in the world.

Whenever this happened, the old man would attack without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, those warriors who offend the majesty of the dragon throne will die.

It seemed that even in this strange place, the emperor's majesty represented by the dragon throne would never be allowed to be trampled upon by anyone.

He is the staunch defender of the imperial power!
Liang Jin knew very well that his martial arts skills were unfathomable and he could no longer see through his cultivation, but what was certain was that he was most likely a second-grade warrior!
Because he had been staying in the Golden Palace and ruthlessly killing all those who broke in, over time, all warriors knew that there was a terrifying god of death here.

However, gradually, as time went on, the situation subtly changed.

The skinny old man seemed to have an irrepressible interest in the dragon throne high above the Golden Palace.

In his heart, he seemed to be longing for the experience of sitting on the dragon throne and overlooking the world.

Anyway, this is a strange place that no one can understand. There is no real emperor, and no one can restrain the old man's behavior.

Finally, one day, Liang Jin keenly noticed that after a long inner struggle, the skinny old man could no longer help but slowly walked to the front of the dragon throne.

He stared at the dragon throne, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he was staring into the desires deep in his heart.

He seemed to have gone through countless battles between his conscience and his desires.

Finally, after making sure that there was no one around, he seemed to have made up his mind and slowly sat down on the dragon throne, quietly experiencing the feeling of sitting on the dragon throne and looking down at the Golden Palace from above.

After the first time, it was like opening the floodgates of desire, and it was out of control.

From then on, every time this old man appeared in [Nine Skies Without Bounds], he would rush to the Golden Palace and sit on the dragon throne that symbolized supreme power in a dignified manner.

His sitting posture also changed from being hesitant and cautious at the beginning to becoming more and more calm and composed, as if he was born to sit on this dragon throne.

He thought he could sit there unnoticed, but he didn't know that Liang Jin was secretly observing his every move.

This old man was one of the warriors Liang Jin couldn't defeat in the Nine Sky Boundless Realm. Besides him, there was another even more mysterious master.

As to whether his martial arts skills were better than those of this skinny old man, Liang Jin was not sure.

However, Liang Jin knew clearly that the man's spirit, will and fighting spirit were extremely terrifying!
That was also the only person Liang Jin had ever seen who could take the initiative to leave this [Nine Sky Boundless]!
In this [Nine Skies Without Boundaries], anyone who wants to leave must either die or be forcibly kicked out by Liang Jin to escape from this spiritual space and time.

However, after adapting to the [Nine Boundless Sky], that person was able to rely on his own powerful mental strength to actively break free from the constraints of the [Nine Boundless Sky] and leave on his own.

This only shows that his mental strength is so strong that it is beyond imagination!

What's even more strange is that Liang Jin still has no idea what this person looks like!
It was even unclear whether he was a man or a woman, old or young.

Because every time Liang Jin pulled this person into [Nine Sky Boundless], he showed a completely different appearance.

Sometimes he is a white-haired old man with wrinkles all over his face, showing the vicissitudes of life; sometimes he is a young and beautiful girl with bright eyes, white teeth and a graceful look; and sometimes he is an innocent little baby, lively, cute and naive.

Even if he occasionally stayed in [Nine Sky Boundless] for a long time, his appearance would change unconsciously.

This strange situation really confused Liang Jin.

Liang Jin has two bold guesses about this.

Either this person is proficient in a magical disguise technique like the "Thousand Faces Technique" and can change his appearance at will.

Or maybe he was practicing some extremely evil martial arts, which caused his appearance and bones to change frequently.

Or... it's because his mental strength is too strong!

So powerful that he can control his subconscious mind at will.

In fact, Liang Jin had some speculations about this [Nine Sky Boundless] before.

This is a spiritual space after all, which is illusory but not completely illusory, and it is not a real existence in the traditional sense.

In such a place, mental power is bound to play an extraordinary role.

If a person is obviously an old man, his consciousness and subconscious mind firmly believe that he is a young man full of vigor and vitality.

So in reality, it is naturally impossible for him to really become a young man.

But if in this wonderful spiritual space, is it possible that because of his inner certainty, he can appear as a young man in this spiritual space?
Liang Jin felt that this possibility was very high.

But he needed to verify this guess.

So recently, his clone in the Western Desert has been concentrating on learning some hypnosis and bewitching techniques in the Star Demon Sea, and he will try them out as soon as he has mastered these techniques thoroughly.

If this theory is true, then Liang Jin will have the opportunity to uncover the secret of the master with ever-changing appearance.

Liang Jin had no idea how high this master's martial arts skills were.

He could neither see through it nor had he ever seen this master take action.

Even the time this expert stayed in [Nine Sky Boundless] was extremely short.

Every time he came to [Nine Skies Without Bounds], if he found something interesting, he might stay for a while and take a look; if he found it boring, he would immediately use his powerful mental power and exit [Nine Skies Without Bounds] without hesitation.

But Liang Jin firmly believed that with his current strength, he was definitely no match for this mysterious master.

"In the capital, there are indeed crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and masters as numerous as clouds."

"In this [Nine Skys and Boundless] alone, there are two people I cannot defeat. And among those who failed to enter [Nine Skys and Boundless], who knows how many masters are hiding."

Liang Jin sighed inwardly.

However, Liang Jin was not surprised by this.

After all, this is the capital of Daqian, the emperor's capital, where the world's talents gather. It doesn't seem surprising that there are powerful warriors here.

In addition to these two top masters, there are also some third-grade warriors in [Nine Skies Without Bounds], but Liang Jin does not pay much attention to them.

These third-grade warriors were just Liang Jin's opponents for training and sparring.

There are even more fourth-grade warriors.

You should know that the [Nine Skies Without Bounds] of Song Jiang's clone in Changzhou only had one fourth-grade warrior until Song Jiang entered Yanshan Stronghold, and that man was Lei Zhen.

The contrast in the quality of warriors between Choshu and the capital is evident.

Similarly, there are some people here that Liang Jin knows.

For example, the old man who preached the Taiping Dao, and Ji Fei.

What surprised Liang Jin was that Ji Fei was actually a very cruel person.

What he did after entering [Nine Sky Boundless] was simple and direct: chop people, or be chopped by others.

In reality, Ji Fei seemed to be unable to find a suitable opportunity to fight and compete with others, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Now, there is such a strange place where he can do whatever he wants without any scruples, and he doesn't have to worry about death or pay any price.

For Ji Fei, this was like arriving in heaven.

At the beginning, he was like a reckless young man who attacked anyone he saw. As a result, he easily encountered powerful masters and was killed without any chance to fight back.

Later, he learned from his mistakes and became smarter. He became like a cunning hunter, lurking in the dark and patiently searching for his target.

If he encounters a master whom he cannot defeat, he can only retreat in shame.

If he encounters a warrior who can compete with him, he will rush forward without hesitation like a hungry wolf seeing its prey and start a fierce fight.

Liang Jin could see that after this period of training, Ji Fei had mastered the "Blood Knife Sutra" to perfection and his skills had become more and more sophisticated.

In fact, his realm has improved significantly, and he has successfully broken through from the eighth level to the seventh level.

This speed of progress is truly amazing.

Liang Jin knew that Ji Fei's achievements were due not only to his own outstanding talent in martial arts, but also to his almost crazy determination to practice martial arts.

Liang Jin had never seen anyone else like Ji Fei who was so obsessed with martial arts and so crazy.

Liang Jin had recently seen that he was diligent in training martial arts and had potential and value, so he found him alone and taught him his "Godly Movement and Changes".

After all, Liang Jin also saw that lightness skills had always been Ji Fei's shortcoming, but after acquiring "The Divine Movement and Changes", Ji Fei's lightness skills were already more than sufficient before he entered the fifth level.

Sure enough, with the help of this exquisite light skill, Ji Fei's hunting actions in [Nine Sky Boundless] became more swift and efficient, like a tiger with wings.

At this moment, in this illusory capital city constructed by [Nine Skies Without Boundaries], Ji Fei's eyes were as sharp as torches, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity, searching everywhere for a suitable opponent, ready to start a hearty fight.

Liang Jin's gaze inadvertently turned and slowly cast towards the direction of the imperial palace. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of helpless smile, and he murmured softly:

"Hey, this guy is messing around with the palace stealth again."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes:
"Who is he? Could it be that he is planning to assassinate the emperor in the palace?"

In this palace that looks like a real replica, many warriors are wandering around.

For most warriors, entering the real imperial palace on a normal day is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

So even though the palace here is just an illusory simulation, it still cannot stop their inner curiosity and passion for exploration.

Among this group of warriors, there was one person who stood out from the crowd.

Every time he entered [Nine Skies Without Boundaries] and came to the palace, he would immediately enter a state of high concentration, as if he was undergoing a serious and crucial infiltration training.

He would carefully choose a different route every day. His movements were light yet a bit sneaky, like a black shadow, quietly moving through every corner of the palace.

As he moved forward cautiously, he would occasionally take out a map of the palace he had drawn and make careful revisions on it. His focused expression seemed as if he was looking for the most perfect and flawless infiltration route and plan.

Judging from his unremitting training posture, it seems that he is making comprehensive and meticulous preparations for sneaking into the palace in the real world in the future.

Liang Jin witnessed this scene and could not help but shake his head helplessly, sighing:
"There are many experts in the capital, but there are also quite a few weirdos."
