Yun Xiu jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly, “The Fourth Hall Master is too amazing! Defeat this villain!”
Just as the Witch Prince was gradually running out of strength and about to hold out no longer, the Great Elder finally could not hold back.
His figure flashed, and he appeared in the sky in an instant, ready to intervene and help. But at that moment, a majestic voice came from afar, “People from the Evil Dao Hall dare to be so presumptuous in my Divine Hall!”
At this critical juncture, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from deep within the Divine King’s Palace.
That aura was like a surging tide, carrying an irresistible force that left everyone present stunned.
Everyone was startled and turned their gazes towards the depths of the Divine King’s Palace, their eyes filled with doubt and fear.
“This… this could not be the four guardians of the Divine King’s Palace, could it?”
The Third Hall Master’s expression changed, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
He had not expected such a powerful entity to exist in the Divine King’s Palace, which began to shake his original plan.
After all, everyone had only heard of the four guardians, but no one had ever seen them!
The Great Elder also frowned, “I did not expect such a powerful existence in the Divine King’s Palace.”
A hint of wariness appeared in his eyes, clearly realising the complexity of the situation.
Ling Xi’s heart stirred; she knew this must be the awakening of the Divine King’s Palace’s four guardians.
For only the four guardians could unleash such a terrifying aura.
The four guardians were the protective deities of the Divine King’s Palace, their strength unfathomable, always safeguarding the palace’s safety.
This time, the disturbance caused by the Third Hall Master and the others had finally alarmed them.
Sure enough, moments later, a figure slowly walked out from deep within the Divine King’s Palace.
This was a middle-aged man in golden armour, with a stern face and eyes that revealed an inviolable sanctity.
He held a long sword, its blade flickering with cold light, as if containing infinite power.
His entire body emanated a powerful aura, one so tangible that no one dared to look directly at it.
Upon seeing this, Ling Xi immediately forced back the Witch Prince and walked up to the man!
“Greetings, Guardian Lord!”
Ling Xi and the divine guards behind her immediately said respectfully, their eyes filled with reverence and gratitude.
They knew that the appearance of this guardian lord would change the current situation.
The golden-armoured man nodded in acknowledgement of his identity.
His gaze then swept over the Third Hall Master, the Witch Prince, the Great Elder, and the others, and he said coldly, “You bold villains dare to cause trouble at the gates of the Divine King’s Palace; are you tired of living?”
His voice rang out like a great bell, making the ears of those around buzz.
The Third Hall Master’s expression changed, but he quickly composed himself and said, “Who are you to interfere in the affairs of our divine hall?”
He tried to mask his inner fear this way, but his voice trembled slightly, clearly showing some guilt.
The golden-armoured man sneered, “I am one of the four guardians of the Divine King’s Palace, tasked with protecting it. You trespassed into the Divine King’s Palace without permission and even tried to attack the Fourth Hall Master; you are simply courting death!”
His voice was filled with anger and majesty, as if proclaiming the crimes of the Third Hall Master and the others.
The Great Elder stepped forward, a flash of wariness in his eyes, “I did not expect the legendary four guardians of the Divine King’s Palace to truly exist. However, even if all four of you appear, you cannot stop us!”
He tried to bolster his courage this way, but his tone was clearly not as firm as before.
The golden-armoured man smiled disdainfully, “Is that so? Then let me see what you are capable of!”
With that, the aura around the golden-armoured man surged once more, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire area before the gates of the Divine King’s Palace.
That pressure was so tangible that the Third Hall Master, the Witch Prince, the Great Elder, and the others felt a suffocating sensation.
The Third Hall Master’s expression changed again; he had not expected the Divine King’s Palace to truly have a guardian, and one with such formidable strength.
He had originally thought he could easily enter the Divine King’s Palace by relying on numerical superiority and the support of the Evil Dao Hall, but now it seemed the matter was far more complicated than they had imagined.
