Chapter 24 Infiltration

It was a cold night in Flowing River City, the wind blew as the leaves on the trees swayed lightly. If one really tried, they could hear the humming of crickets, and see dazzling of the moonlight on the dew.

Within the Royal Palace, it was also a still and calm night, till suddenly a black cloaked figure appeared within a room. This figure quickly inspected his surroundings before disappearing quietly in a puff of smoke.

After him another black figure appeared which looked identical to the first. Naturally this was Long Lei, and this was the beginning of his Grand Plan, Plan F.P.U.P.T.S.T., which stood for Full Proof Ultimate Plan To Steal Treasure.

'Haha, this is going just as I thought it would.' Long Lei mused before grabbing the box behind him, it was the box he had given the princess at her birthday banquet, but what no one else knew, was that he had place a Flying Thunder God Seal on it.

'Naturally you can come back to your rightful owner now.' He thought before storing the pill away, leaving the box where it was. He then began to make his move. Right now he was in the Princess' bedroom but this wasn't what he was aiming for, what he wanted was their soul training technique.

'All the ones in the system shop cost about 50,000 Rage Points, and there aren't any lower tier ones, so this is my only option at the moment, not to mention its a good face slap along with the other extra treasures.' Long Lei thought before using The Oriole to stealthily and swiftly exit the Princess' room.

Luckily for now he had created no sound, that along with the fact he was practically unsensible at this moment. 'I don't have a concrete layout of this Palace, but seeing as I left the box I can always try again.' He mused as he shot through the corridors.

The Palace was massive, so after about 5 minutes, he finally made it out of the Princess' living area. Once outside he looked around. Where he was right now there were no guards, and from his current position he could see the main Hall, it was dazzling and seemed to have been made out of pure gold.

'Bingo.' Long Lei thought before bolting to the golden Hall. As he dashed through the grass his feet moved in an odd manner, allowing him to move extremely fast but be extremely quiet at the same time. 'This technique is op.' He thought as he arrived at the Hall.

In front of him there were 2 guards, guarding the main entrance, each at the Qi Refinement Realm. Luckily for Long Lei they seemed to be around his level, so they wouldn't be much of an issue, not only that but they also seemed to be half asleep.

"Man, I can't believe we got guard duty again." Guard A said he sat on his chair. "Ya this job is the worst, although its extremely easy, its also extremely boring." Guard B replied as he looked around in the darkness of the night.

Suddenly without warning, a weird object flew through the night and landed next to a tree in front of them. "What the?" Guard B said as he got up and walked towards the tree, once there he gazed at the 3 pronged object which had pierced into the tree.

"Yo, come here." Guard B called Guard A over, as he inspected the object. "Do you have any idea what this could be?" Guard B asked, as Guard A gazed at the object. "I have no idea, but, doesn't this look man made?" Guard A said as he unsheathed his sword in a hurry, but he was too late.

A kunai flew towards the two guards, when suddenly a figure appeared above it, grabbing the kunai before striking the 2 guards on the neck, knocking them out. 'That was, surprisingly easy.' He thought before grabbing the kunai he had thrown earlier and storing it away.

The boy then quickly grabbed the 2 guards, and placed them on their chairs in such a way that they looked like they had fallen asleep.

Long Lei then walked towards the golden door and pushed it open. 'This its so heavy.' He sighed, as he managed to open the door a jar. Once inside, he then closed the door again and inspected his surroundings.

He had currently landed himself inside an empty hall with a red carpet leading straight to a bronze door. 'This doesn't look at all ominous.' He thought as he inspected the hallway in front of him.

After a few seconds, Long Lei threw a stone he had lying in his spatial ring, once it landed on the carpet nothing happened. 'Whew.' He thought before walking down the carpet.

Assuming the mechanism would be activated by stepping on the carpet or by noise, Long Lei threw the stone to set it off, so if it was deadly he'd know about it beforehand.

'Now come to papa, Soul Cultivation Technique!' Long Lei thought happily before reaching the bronze door.
