At this moment, those imperial guards outside Nine-Heavens Palace appeared to be frozen. One knight had just left the ground and was going to charge at Zhang Tie; the other had already drawn out his long sword and tilted his body forward as he wanted to block Zhang Tie; however, when Zhang Tie strode in Nine-Heavens Palace, the two knights were both fastened by an invisible force. The knight in the air maintained his gesture when he left the ground; the other knight who wanted to block Zhang Tie was also holding high his long sword still.
A force that was similar to that of one's private realm yet was greater than it had already covered the entire royal palace.
Not only the two imperial guards outside the gate, besides Xuanyuan Changying, everyone else in the Nine-Heavens Palace was being frozen by that great force. They could neither utter any voice nor make any movement besides moving their eyes and head.
