Upon seeing this, Su Jinyun was extremely anxious, her eyes instantly filled with fear and worry, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment.
She instinctively reached out, trying her best to grab Yu Ji; her outstretched hand seemed to carry all her hopes and fears.
It was as if as long as Yu Ji could be pulled back on track, everything could be brought back to normal.
However, fate cruelly revealed its hideous face, and it was ultimately too late.
She watched helplessly as Yu Ji fell, feeling as if a thousand steel needles were piercing her heart at the same time, filled with worry and self-blame.
At this moment, the officials behind them finally snapped out of their shock and fear, as if waking from a dream.
They were stunned by the sudden, nightmarish turn of events, as if their souls had been temporarily detached from their bodies by the terrifying scene.
Only now did he snap out of his daze, as if waking from a deep dream. He hurriedly took hurried, staggering steps and rushed towards Yu Ji in a flustered manner.
They carefully helped the Imperial Advisor up, their faces full of concern and anxiety, as if in this chaos they were grasping not only at Yu Ji, but also at that shaky hope.
Ning Chenyi witnessed all of this, and his originally deep and calm eyes instantly turned as cold as frost.
Like a bottomless, frozen pool in the cold night, it exudes a chilling aura.
He stared intently at the lingering smoke that seemed to conceal endless evil and conspiracy, his eyes surging with murderous intent like a raging tide.
It was as if only by tearing the instigator of all this to pieces and scattering his bones to ashes could he quell the raging fire burning in his heart.
Just as the ministers were in a panic, and the entire court was in chaos, like a disturbed anthill, with everyone as bewildered and running around like ants on a hot pan.
Ning Chenxing's chilling voice echoed again.
The sound seemed to traverse endless time and darkness, originating from a distant and unknown void, passing through layers of mist, carrying a sense of ethereal beauty and dreamlike illusion.
It was as if the speaker did not exist in this real world, but came from another unknown world full of evil and mystery.
However, within this illusion and etherealness lies a chilling, bone-deep, sinister coldness.
It was as if a cold and deadly venomous snake was slowly and stealthily slithering through everyone's hearts, each inch of its movement bringing a chilling sensation.
It was chilling: "You dog emperor, your methods have made me look at you in a new light. Even if you've been exposed, so what? You might not be able to predict who I'll be next."
Remember to wipe that dragon throne clean; the Daoist master will ascend it soon. As for you, you mere brat, even your master addresses the Daoist master as "Uncle-Master," how dare you lay a hand on him?
When the Taoist priest returns next time, he will personally discipline you on behalf of your master.
The sound was like a lingering wail of a resentful soul rising from the depths of the deepest hell, before slowly falling back down.
With a chilling coldness and a creepy eeriness, it seemed to instantly drain away every trace of warmth and vitality from the court.
It swirled and echoed wildly in the air, each syllable like a sharp blade coated with deadly poison.
It mercilessly pierced through everyone's already taut nerves, sending chills down their spines.
As the sound gradually faded away like a ghost, the thick, almost tangible smoke that had filled the entire court, filled with a strong and eerie atmosphere, disappeared.
It was as if we were being driven away by a mysterious and powerful force, or as if we were being gently brushed by an invisible yet fierce and incomparable gale.
It started as thick as ink, gradually became thin as smoke, and finally slowly dissipated under everyone's watchful eyes.
Only a somewhat empty courtroom remained, shrouded in a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
The ministers in the hall looked at each other, their expressions a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.
Some ministers looked terrified, their eyes wide open, as if they were still trapped in the nightmarish scene they had just witnessed, their bodies trembling slightly.
Some ministers, however, had furrowed brows and looked as if they were carrying a heavy burden, their eyes revealing deep worry.
He was racking his brains trying to figure out the complex reasons behind this series of changes.
Some ministers looked bewildered and had blank stares.
Clearly, he was stunned by this sudden and swift change, leaving his mind blank and his whole being in a state of brief confusion.
This sudden turn of events was so unexpected, like a powerful bomb that exploded in everyone's hearts without warning, leaving them utterly shaken.
The secrets and complexities involved in those words were like a surging, turbulent torrent.
It overwhelmed them mercilessly in an instant, leaving them overwhelmed and their minds feeling as if they had been stuffed with a tangled mess of hemp threads.
Various thoughts were intertwined like a tangled mess, yet no matter what I did, I couldn't make sense of them at all.
The emperor's face was so gloomy, like the dark, oppressive sky before a storm, so black it seemed to drip ink, utterly unsightly.
He slumped heavily onto the dragon throne, his teeth clenched, the muscles in his cheeks twitching slightly with rage.
His eyes seemed to burn with two raging flames, filled with endless resentment and murderous intent.
He stared intently at the spot where Ning Chenxing had disappeared, as if he wanted to scorch the air with his gaze.
That person's words and actions were so arrogant and domineering that it was outrageous. He dared to openly provoke the emperor so brazenly in the imperial court, which symbolized the supreme majesty of the royal family.
This is a blatant trampling on imperial power, an unforgivable crime, and utterly hateful!
