This barrier was extremely magical. Whether one was inside the maze trying to teleport out, or outside trying to teleport in, it was impossible. It was like an indestructible shield, completely isolating these few layers of the maze from the outside world.

Hearing Soren's words, the last bit of luck in Rebar's heart vanished without a trace.

He was now certain that Soren's rapid rise and achievements were entirely due to that mysterious and powerful figure from the upper plane.

That figure must have given Soren a lot of help, even revealing key information about this underground maze, allowing Soren to deal with him so fearlessly.

At this moment, Rebar was filled with regret, regretting underestimating Soren, and regretting that his plans seemed to have been foreseen by the other party at every turn. But now that things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and follow his established plan, leading Soren to the palace at the top of the maze.

However, he really had no idea what kind of situation he would face on this trip.

The two of them, one limping and the other with a cane, slowly made their way towards the deepest part of the maze. The injuries on their bodies were truly severe. Every step they took was accompanied by a piercing pain, and their walking posture looked very strange and wretched.

They had completely lost their usual power and demeanor.

The originally solemn and majestic imperial palace's underground maze now had a bit more of a pathetic and desolate feel because of these two figures.

Soren, on the other hand, looked very carefree, as if he didn't care at all that he was in a dangerous situation. While laboriously moving his feet, he asked, "Rebar, I just can't understand. With your ability, plus the assistance of those rare resources from the upper plane, you could have become a supreme figure in the royal family, enjoying unparalleled respect. Why did you have to get involved in these conspiracies and schemes, and end up where you are today?"

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Indeed, in Soren's view, Rebar originally had a bright and glorious path to take, but he didn't know why he chose such a path full of bloodshed and betrayal.

Rebar didn't relax his vigilance at all. He was constantly watching Soren's every move, always keeping a distance from Soren, afraid that the other party would suddenly attack.

Hearing Soren's question, he paused slightly, glanced at Soren, and asked, "You want to know?" There was a hint of hesitation in his tone, as if he was considering whether or not to reveal the reason behind it.

Soren nodded without hesitation. He was indeed very curious about the hidden story behind this, after all, it concerned the entire change in the royal family. Figuring out the reason might have an important effect on stabilizing the royal family's situation in the future.

Seeing this, Rebar sighed slightly and slowly said, "Actually, my goal from the beginning was Empress Maria.

His voice echoed in this somewhat silent maze passage, but it was like dropping a heavy bomb, instantly making Soren's face serious.

Hearing that the target was actually Empress Maria, a cold light flashed in Soren's eyes, and his gaze was like a substantial blade, revealing an icy killing intent.

Empress Maria was of great significance to Soren. She had given Soren endless love, and in that cold and complicated royal family, she was like a warm light, illuminating Soren's life.

"Why? I'm very curious, when I wasn't adopted under Empress Maria's name, she was just a disgraced empress." Soren suppressed the anger in his heart, but his tone still carried an undisguisable coldness and questioning.

He really couldn't understand, what could a disgraced empress have that was worth Rebar going to such lengths, even provoking the royal family's bloody storm to target her. There must be some unknown secrets here.

Rebar's face was full of doubt, he shook his head and said: "I don't know either, the adult from the upper plane specifically asked me to take her body there."

Soren nodded slightly. At this moment, he finally understood the reason for Rebar's betrayal.

It turned out that behind all this, the mysterious powerhouse from the upper plane was secretly manipulating things.

Rebar was in this position, facing the conditions given by the strong from the upper plane, it was indeed difficult to refuse.

After all, the existence of the upper plane, for people like them in this plane, was like a god high above. The power they possessed and the resources they could give were unimaginable to ordinary people. Once they rebelled,

I'm afraid they would face a catastrophe.

Soren thought to himself, if it was before, when Empress Maria was out of favor, if they wanted to attack her, perhaps they could just arrange for an assassin to assassinate her in secret, that would be a relatively simple matter.

But now the situation was very different. Rebar didn't even expect that Empress Maria would have a Saint-level puppet protecting her at some point. That was an extremely powerful combat force, and it wouldn't be easy to break through its defenses.

Moreover, Soren's grandfather had actually broken through to the Saint level, which had caused a huge change in the entire situation.

In addition, Soren himself was established as the crown prince, and his status had risen, and several Saint-level powerhouses had gathered around him to follow him. Whether it was in terms of his own protection power or his influence in the entire empire, he was no longer the same as before.

Rebar was also well aware of this, so this time, if the adult from the upper plane hadn't been pressing him so hard, urging him to act as soon as possible, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to plan this series of conspiracies, and even at the cost of exposing himself, fighting them to the death in this underground maze of the imperial palace.

It's just that he had calculated everything, but he didn't expect to fall into such a dilemma. Not only did he lose many helpers, but he himself was also seriously injured.

The two of them were still limping and hobbling forward in this dim maze passage.

In the ninth layer of the maze, an extremely gorgeous palace stood quietly. The decoration inside the palace was extremely luxurious. Countless glittering gems were inlaid on the walls, emitting a dreamlike light, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

It was a completely different style from the palace built by Serena.

At this time, Serena was sitting opposite another young man, and the atmosphere between the two seemed quite tense,

as if an invisible current was shuttling through the air, ready to explode.

Serena frowned slightly and said unhappily, "James, you are not giving me face."

The young man called James, hearing this, his face was immediately filled with a wry smile, and he said helplessly: "Senior sister, it's not that I'm not giving you face, this empire has something I must get."

There was a firmness in his eyes. He was obviously unusually persistent about the so-called "must-have" thing. Even if he was facing Serena's dissatisfaction at this moment, he didn't mean to back down at all.
