Chapter 1490 A Shocking Reversal

As Xu Yuehuai entered Beiwei's palace, she felt the atmosphere around her freeze.

Bei Wei spoke first: "Long time no see."

Her gaze was somewhat complicated, and Xu Yuehuai couldn't figure it out.

"Yes, it has indeed been a long time since we last met," Xu Yuehuai replied casually.

Bei Wei suddenly took a step closer, her sharp gaze fixed on Xu Yuehuai.

"I'm curious, how much of your supernatural power do you have left?"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly grabbed Xu Yuehuai's wrist, attempting to absorb the remaining power within her body.

Xu Yuehuai could only grit her teeth and try to resist Bei Wei's onslaught.

But unexpectedly, Bei Wei's attempt did not go as she wished!

Bei Wei looked surprised. "You... how could you possibly possess so much magical power?"

Xu Yuehuai sneered, "It's Heaven's favor that prevents me from being persecuted by people like you."

"Heh, this is really a bargain for me!" Bei Wei laughed heartily, continuing to absorb her magical power.

But not long after, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse!

Bei Wei's expression changed drastically. She exclaimed weakly, "You! You dare to absorb my power! If you don't want to die, stop now! Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble once I'm free!"

Xu Yuehuai sneered repeatedly: "This is a golden opportunity, why should I stop?"

Only a fool would pass up such a good opportunity!

Immediately, the power within Bei Wei surged into Xu Yuehuai's body like a tidal wave.

"So this is how you feel, huh? It's really amazing."

"They don't cultivate themselves, but instead monopolize the cultivation of others."

"How do you feel about this robbery that has now come back to haunt you?"

Xu Yuehuai gripped Bei Wei's hand tightly, leaving her no way to resist.

Bei Wei glared at her coldly, "Xu Yuehuai! You just wait!"

"Your life is in my hands now, yet you're still so arrogant." Xu Yuehuai was not afraid of Bei Wei's threat at all.

Xu Yuehuai's power has been enhanced to an unprecedented degree, so powerful that it seems ready to burst out of her body at any moment.

"Very good!"

"With this powerful force, I'm sure I can break free from the cage of the Eastern Sang Palace," Xu Yuehuai thought to himself with delight.

Bei Wei suddenly collapsed to the ground due to the loss of her power.

Bei Wei stared intently at Xu Yuehuai, and said unwillingly, "You won't just leave like this!"

Do you think you can stop me in your current state?

Xu Yuehuai pressed close to Bei Wei and struck her dantian, destroying all her cultivation!

"Without your cultivation, you can no longer harm people."

"I'll come back and settle the score with you after I escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yuehuai made a swift move, knocking Bei Wei unconscious with a single palm strike.

After carefully placing Bei Wei's body on the bed and hiding it, Xu Yuehuai hurriedly left the palace as if nothing had happened.

The stars twinkled, and the night was gloomy.

Xu Yuehuai walked along the path and encountered a palace servant. She quickly knocked the servant unconscious and changed into the servant's clothes.

Then, under the cover of night, she continued along secluded paths, constantly dodging patrolling guards, and finally got further and further away from the palace.

As she was about to leave, Xu Yuehuai's heart suddenly started racing, as if something dangerous was about to happen.

After all, no aliens had stopped her along the way, and she still found it hard to believe that she could escape so easily.

"Aze, have you been secretly helping him all along?" Xu Yuehuai wondered to herself.

After all, the backlash was quite strange; it not only allowed her to turn the tide but also gave her Beiwei's power for nothing.

Once she has the chance, she will find out who helped her and make sure to thank them properly.

Suddenly, as Xu Yuehuai approached the palace gate, a faint sound caught her attention, and she quickly hid in the shadows.

Soon after, several masked men dressed in black arrived at the palace gate.

"Could they be pursuers from Beiwei?" Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened.

But Xu Yuehuai quickly dismissed the idea. If they were really from Beiwei, why would they act so furtively?

She decided to wait and see what the other party was really like.

Those masked men loitered around outside the palace gates and eventually set up a strange formation.

The array flickered continuously, and the surrounding space seemed to distort.

Xu Yuehuai sensed that the formation seemed to have some inexplicable connection with the power within her body, and it appeared to have been affected.

She tried to mobilize her magical power to sense the formation, but at first it had no effect at all.

But a little while later, a miracle really happened!

Xu Yuehuai's magical power and the array formation were connected in a mysterious space, and then a warm power communicated with her body.

"This is very effective for me. I must learn how to draw it when the time comes." Xu Yuehuai quickly felt that his senses had been cut off. It must be that the other party used some special magic artifact.

She immediately hid in the shadows and quickly escaped from the palace gates while the other party was not paying attention.

Xu Yuehuai then walked along the path.

However, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe suddenly appeared in front of her, his eyes filled with majesty and murderous intent.

"Xu Yuehuai, you did manage to escape." The other person's voice was cold.

Xu Yuehuai stared at the other party warily. The other party's aura was exceptionally strong, indicating that he was no ordinary person.

Why are you blocking my way?

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, his smile filled with murderous intent. "I am one of Beiwei's protectors, ordered to arrest you and bring you to justice."

"The power within you is quite unique, posing a significant threat to us. How could we possibly let you go?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai felt a chill run down her spine. Although her strength was unstable at the moment and she might not be a match for the other party, she would definitely not surrender without a fight.

"Hmph! You want to capture me? Then come and try!"

In an instant, Xu Yuehuai sprang up like a cheetah and pounced on the middle-aged man!

The two sides instantly engaged in fierce combat!

"Give me a refund!"

With her unwavering will and the added boost of immense magical power, Xu Yuehuai suddenly gained the upper hand.

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. "So, Xu Yuehuai! I'll let you go for now! But don't think you can escape our pursuit forever!"

Leaving behind a harsh remark, the middle-aged man vanished into the night in a flash.

Xu Yuehuai knew that this escape had only just begun, but she was not afraid at all.

Once she digests the power within her body and uses it successfully, she will definitely be able to resist those alien races!

On the streets of Dongsang, Xu Yuehuai's steps were light yet slightly hurried.

Suddenly, a figure entered her field of vision.

The man was dressed simply; it was none other than Wang Mang, whom we hadn’t seen in a long time!

"Young lady?" Wang Mang couldn't hide his surprise and uncertainty, and quickly stepped forward.
