It was approaching the Imperial Study step by step with a stealthy, almost ghostly manner.
The palace, bathed in the afternoon sun, appeared exceptionally peaceful and serene. However, beneath this tranquil surface, undercurrents were surging.
The three figures appeared and disappeared in the scattered shadows of the palace, their footsteps as light as a gentle breeze.
They made almost no sound, as if afraid of disturbing this seemingly peaceful world that actually harbored hidden mysteries.
Yu Ji quickly found a very secluded and inconspicuous corner.
She leaned down slightly, her movements as light as a cat searching for food, her eyes peering carefully and intently into the hall through the polished, mirror-like glass window.
The sight that came into her view filled her with an overwhelming sense of joy.
Like a traveler lost in the long night, finally glimpsing a ray of hope in the endless darkness.
Pei Yanci was standing steadily in the spot she had carefully chosen and marked in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Their expressions were calm and composed, their eyes revealing a sense of control and confidence over the situation, as if everything was proceeding steadily according to their pre-planned trajectory.
Ning Yuancheng, meanwhile, sat calmly at the core of the formation, completely unaware of the immense crisis that was about to befall him.
At this moment, he was still immersed in his selfish thoughts, a calculating smile playing on his lips, which he thought no one would notice.
It was as if the whole world was in his grasp, at his mercy.
Seeing this, Yu Ji knew in her heart that this was the perfect time to activate the formation, like an arrow on a bowstring that had to be released.
Her gaze instantly sharpened like an eagle's, as if she could perceive every subtle change, and a resolute light shone in her bright eyes.
Immediately afterwards, her hands began to move rapidly like a phantom, her ten fingers nimbly changing complex gestures, each movement precise and full of power and rhythm.
She activated the formation swiftly and accurately, her movements skillful and decisive, like a master craftsman meticulously crafting a peerless masterpiece.
Every detail was handled perfectly.
It also resembles a general commanding thousands of troops, issuing crucial orders that determine victory or defeat at a critical moment, full of confidence and authority.
Once the formation was activated, a mysterious and powerful force instantly spread out, causing the air in the entire imperial study to tremble.
Ning Yuancheng, who had been sitting there leisurely with a faint smile on his face, suddenly turned as cold as frost.
The weather changed from gentle to cold and gloomy in an instant, just like a clear summer sky suddenly being covered by dark clouds.
It felt as if we had suddenly fallen from a warm and pleasant spring day into a bitterly cold winter.
Two sharp, ruthless beams of light suddenly shot from his eyes, as fierce, resolute, and filled with rage as a hungry wolf spotting its prey in a desperate situation.
His gaze was fixed on Pei Yanci, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Almost at the same instant, he reached out his hand like a wild beast enraged to the extreme.
That hand was like a sharp and deadly eagle claw, carrying a fierce momentum and unstoppable force, attempting to grab Pei Yanci with lightning speed.
It was as if by capturing Pei Yanci, he could control the situation, turn the tide, and restore everything to the track he desired.
However, his hand was blocked solidly by the suddenly appearing array, making a dull and loud sound.
It was as if we had crashed into an invisible and indestructible wall of steel.
The powerful rebound force, like a surging wave, made his arm go slightly numb.
A sharp pain spread rapidly from his arm throughout his body, but this did nothing to shake the burning anger and resentment in his heart.
Before he could utter the angry roar that had been building up inside him, a series of hurried yet light footsteps came from outside the Imperial Study.
Like a dense and powerful drumbeat, it broke the brief and oppressive silence.
Immediately afterward, Qin Qianluo, Su Jinyun, and Yu Ji walked in with firm steps.
Their figures carried an undeniable majesty and imposing presence, as if they were righteous messengers descending to earth on a mission.
Qin Qianluo turned around and closed the door to the Imperial Study. The loud "bang" of the door closing was particularly loud in the almost frozen silence of the space.
Like a heavy hammer of fate, it sounded the alarm, announcing a complete change in the situation and shattering the last glimmer of hope in Ning Yuancheng's heart.
