"Nothing personal fatty. Though you were quite an interesting one, I can"t let you live."Shaking his hand which was covered in blood, the Yin Puppet rubbed it clean on the unsullied parts of the eunuch"s clothes.
Looking outside the window to see how long there was before sunrise, Bai Long decided that he could infiltrate the palace right away.
After all, if he waited until tomorrow, it was quite possible that someone might figure out the disappearance of the eunuch he just killed.
Taking out the prepared back robes and masks from the spatial ring on his finger, the Yin Puppet distributed them to all the remaining nine Yin Puppets, who immediately dressed in them.
These black robes weren"t there to hide the appearance of the Yin Puppets, whom Bai Long didn"t care much about. Instead, they were there to be used strategically and disguise themselves as thieves if needed, instead of being discovered as spies.
Once all the ten Yin Puppets had covered themselves from head to toe in pure black, which would also help them blend in the darkness of the night, Bai Long controlled one of them and made him dispose of the eunuch"s body, while the remaining nine ran towards the palace.
Given their cultivation, the Yin Puppets could easily jump over the huge walls around the palace. And that was what Bai Long made them do.
One by one, the nine tin puppets jumped on top of the huge walls, and went over them, while the rest kept a watch over the surroundings to make sure that no one would see them.
Everything proceeded smoothly and the Nine tin puppets had just jumped over the palace walls, when the sound of footsteps approaching them was heard.
Turning alert, Bai Long observed through the Yin Puppets" vision in hopes of finding something to hide them behind.
But, when he was unable to find any such thing, he made all of them lie on the floor in the exact same spot where the wall met the ground, with one next to the other one.
This way, even though all the nine Yin Puppets were hidden in plain sight, as long as no one shone light on them, or knew about where to look, they should be able to get through the next few minutes without being caught.
"What a pain in the a.s.s this job is."
"Tell me about it. Walking around aimlessly in the night? Tsk! Despite being so strong, his Majesty is definitely a scared one."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Hey! Shhh! We just need to walk around, and we obtain a salary. What could you probably have to complain about?"
From the number of voices and footsteps, Bai Long guessed that there were three men coming his way.
Luckily, they all seemed to be zoned out, and weren"t taking their jobs seriously, which increased the chances of his Yin Puppets not being found.
As expected, with no special things such as torches which focused light on a specific spot, the Yin Puppets who didn"t move in the slightest weren"t discovered, and the three guards who were patrolling pa.s.sed by them without stopping.
After the guards left, and their footsteps could no longer be heard, Bai Long the Yin Puppets get to their feet and quickly move, before the next group of patrolling guards arrived.
Moving quickly, while making sure to not make any sound, the Yin Puppets soon approached the main palace.
Unlike the outside boundary which was surrounded in darkness, the palace was brightly lit up both inside and out.
Seeing this, Bai Long who already memorized the map, and where the corridor he was searching for was at, made the Yin Puppets circle around the palace.
Stopping in a certain location, where the structure looked similar to the blueprint, Bai Long frowned and looked at the spot where the corridor he was searching for should be.
There was nothing other than pure darkness there.
In fact, it was too dark...
Narrowing his eyes, Bai Long made changed his eyes sight through the various Yin Puppets, and realized that the darkness he was seeing wasn"t just due to it being night time.
But, because there was some sort of a hole in there which made it looked much darker than the surroundings.
Smiling from how he wouldn"t have found it, if that eunuch hadn"t marked it on the map, Bai Long controlled one of the Yin Puppets to go close and scout.
As expected, the huge rectangular block of darkness he saw was due to there being a corridor.
Once his guess was confirmed, Bai Long looked into the darkness, and due to being a Yin based cultivator, he barely managed to make out the shadows of the two who were sitting deep inside of it.
Thinking for a split second, Bai Long made a second Yin Puppet go near the entrance of the corridor.
Silently counting back from three, upon reaching one, Bai Long made the two Yin Puppets start talking loudly.
"Are you sure about this, brother? What if we get caught?"
"Relax! As long as we are careful, not only can we steal many things, we can even a few women before safely escaping."
"Still... What if the guards catch us?"
"Heheheheheh, what do you know. I heard that the King is a very scared idiot who makes all of his guards patrol the boundary walls. And with all of them patrolling, who"d be there to catch us?"
"Really?"
"Of course! Once we steal some valuable items, we can even visit that scared King"s harem, and enjoy ourselves! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Now move quickly before the patrolling guards see us."
Following this, the two Yin Puppets ran from the front of the corridor which was hidden in darkness.
...
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes."
"What shall we do?"
"Hmmm... We can"t abandon our posts, but if they do manage to lay their hands one of his Majesty"s woman, and he learns that we didn"t do anything to stop them, we"ll definitely be killed."
Nodding his head, the other man said, "It"s not as if anyone has ever stepped inside this corridor, other than that eunuch until now anyway. Also, I"m sure that it won"t take us long to catch those two thieves anyway."
Since the two of them had come to an agreement, Bai Long soon saw two men exiting the corridor and chasing after the Yin Puppets who hadn"t gone too far yet.
