Imperial Palace, within the palace hall.
Here, the atmosphere was distinctly solidified.
Chu Yuan and Tang Emperor both sat motionlessly in their chairs, their minds no longer present.
This was the mode of their sparring.
Dueling with Dharma Aspects was too oppressive of Chu Yuan.
Thus, the Tang Emperor could only choose to spar in the realm of the mind.
Naturally, Chu Yuan agreed.
Both their minds departed to engage in the contest.
With that, the entire palace hall quieted down.
Only Qin Zhen remained seated there, which was quite awkward for him as he looked at his Respected Master and the Tang Emperor.
Feeling that to continue sitting there would be unbearably awkward.
After a moment's hesitation, he stood up and walked out, thinking to get some fresh air.
Qin Zhen left the palace hall.
Several Golden Armored Soldiers standing at the entrance of the hall immediately saluted him.
"Greetings, sir."
The Golden Armored Soldiers showed immense respect.
