"There's no time to lose. Let's set off immediately!"
Now that everyone was here, under the threat of Audo and Zerg, it was better for them to take action as soon as possible and go to the Blizzard Palace to look for rune stones.
Qinchuan's proposal was unanimously approved by Ao Feng and Zhao Deng. In fact, they were more enthusiastic than Qinchuan, so the three of them immediately set off for the Blizzard Palace after a short rest.
"The Blizzard Palace is a forbidden area in the Blizzard City. Except for the royal family, no one else is allowed to get close. I guess Audo must have made a lot of arrangements after coming to the Blizzard Palace. If we go there like this, we may fall into the trap set by Audo. So we'd better sneak into the Blizzard Palace."
On the way to the Blizzard Palace, Ao Feng had begun to analyze the current situation. For others, sneaking into the Blizzard Palace might be a difficult task, but for him, it was not difficult at all.
"What Prince Ao Feng said makes sense. We'd better sneak in carefully."
Zhao Deng also agreed with Ao Feng's proposal. He looked at Qinchuan and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you have any objections?"
Qinchuan shook his head and said to the two, "It's my first time here, so I'm not familiar with everything here. You can arrange it. I'll listen to you."
Ao Feng and Zhao Deng had been to the Blizzard Palace many times, and they had royal status, so they could go in and out of the Blizzard Palace unimpeded. As a "layman", he only needed to listen to the arrangements.
Seeing that Qinchuan had no objections, Ao Feng said, "In that case, we'll enter the Blizzard Palace from the side door. Even if Audo arranged people to guard the side door, I think the side door's defense is the weakest, so it's the easiest to break through!"
In Ao Feng's view, it was impossible for them to enter the core of the Blizzard Palace without any obstacles, so he had prepared for two scenarios. If sneaking in did not work, then they would force their way in!
No matter what, they had to get the rune stones before everyone else!
When the flying shuttle came to a place a thousand miles away from the Blizzard Palace, it stopped moving forward, because if they went any further, they would enter the alert range of the Blizzard Palace guards. They were very likely to be discovered, and at that time, the difficulty of entering the Blizzard Palace would increase exponentially.
Qinchuan and the other two left the shuttle under Ao Feng's lead. They stealthily moved towards the direction of the Blizzard Palace. Along the way, they encountered more than one wave of patrolling guards. Ao Feng and Zhao Deng recognized most of them!
"These patrolling guards are basically Audo's personal guards, not the original guards of the Blizzard Palace. I guess he must have controlled the original guards of the Blizzard Palace or even killed them!"
Looking at those familiar faces, Ao Feng couldn't help but reveal a gloomy expression, "It seems that Audo has basically taken complete control of the Blizzard Palace!"
"I can see that Audo is very strict with the access control of the Blizzard Palace."
Zhao Deng glanced at the patrolling guards who had just passed by and whispered, "Their patrol route is very tight. If you are not familiar with the Blizzard Palace, it will be very difficult to avoid them. Even we have to be careful."
Hearing Ao Feng and Zhao Deng's words, Qin Chuan pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Since Audo has set up such a tight defense in the Blizzard Palace, it means that the talisman stone might really be in the Blizzard Palace. However, it seems that Audo has yet to obtain the talisman stone!"
If Audo had already gotten the rune stones, he would have left the Blizzard Palace long ago and gone to a secret place to study the rune stones. There was no reason for him to continue to make such a big fuss here. However, Qinchuan did not rule out the possibility that Audo had deliberately set up a formation here to deceive others. But in Qinchuan's view, the possibility of such a thing was still very small.
"Let's go."
The patrolling team had gone far away. They had to take advantage of the gap before the next wave of patrolling team arrived to move forward and enter the Blizzard Palace as soon as possible.
…
After four hours of moving forward, Qinchuan and the other two finally arrived in front of the side gate of the Blizzard Palace. As Ao Feng had expected, the side gate was indeed guarded by guards, but there were not too many of them. There was only a squad of ten people.
"Leave these ten people to me."
Zhao Deng looked around and took the initiative to take care of this squad of ten people.
While speaking, Zhao Deng had already stepped out, exposing his body in front of the squad of ten people. But before the squad of ten people could react, Zhao Deng's figure had already split into ten and appeared in front of the ten people like lightning. With a raise of his hand, the ten people were all beheaded!
Seeing this scene, Ao Feng explained to Qinchuan, "This is one of General Zhao Deng's famous consummate skills, the Ten Months Technique. General Zhao Deng can split into ten people at the same time. All ten people are his original body, and all of them have the peak strength of his original body. It's very powerful!"
Hearing Ao Feng's words, Qinchuan's eyes moved slightly and asked, "How long can this Doppelganger Technique last?"
Ao Feng chuckled and said to Qinchuan, "You asked the key question. Although this Doppelganger Technique is strong, with General Zhao Deng's strength, it can only last for about three seconds at most. Moreover, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, so General Zhao Deng rarely uses this technique. This time, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to quickly deal with this squad of ten people, I don't think General Zhao Deng would have used this technique."
"Come out, the problem is solved."
At this moment, while Ao Feng and Qinchuan were talking, Zhao Deng had already returned to their side. His tone was somewhat complicated as he said, "In fact, they are innocent, but now, in order to not ruin our plan, I can only kill them."
As the commander of a troop, Zhao Deng was very clear in his heart that these guards were just following orders from above. They were innocent, but sometimes reality was cruel. Innocent people might not have a good ending.
"We all understand you." Ao Feng said to Zhao Deng, "Special times require special treatment."
Qinchuan didn't have any objection to this. He wasn't a kind-hearted Virgin Mary. At this time, being soft-hearted would only leave behind hidden dangers. Killing decisively was the best choice.
Ao Feng walked at the front and came to the side door's identity verification area. He revealed his original appearance and easily passed the verification.
"The Blizzard Palace welcomes the arrival of the First Prince."
After the verification, a gentle female voice came from the side door to welcome Ao Feng. This was the Blizzard Palace's intelligent system, Snowman, responsible for the operation of the entire Blizzard Palace.
"Snowman, where is Second Prince Audo?"
"Reporting to the First Prince, Second Prince Audo is currently in the Emperor's Palace. Do you need me to inform the Second Prince of your arrival?"
"No need. Keep silent and don't mention my arrival to anyone."
