"I'll give you one chance," Yun Lintian said, his voice calm but laced with undeniable authority. "Where is Ouyang Feng?"
The guards exchanged panicked glances. They were no fools; the sheer power emanating from Yun Lintian was beyond anything they had ever encountered.
One of them, trembling, pointed towards the palace. "He… he's inside."
