Chapter 762: Xuanming Imprisoned Silk
Jiang Bai frowned: "Is it simply because the Empress possesses demonic blood that the Holy Church wants to exterminate her?"
Li Yuan paused for a few seconds, then said coldly, "Her mother, Tang Jiangxun, was also hunted down by the Holy Sect. Moreover, the mother and daughter look alike, which is why the Holy Sect wants to exterminate the Empress."
Jiang Bai pursed his lips and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, although the fire poison in your body is currently suppressed, once the demon-slaying operation begins, war will be unavoidable. I'm afraid you won't be able to spare the time to protect the Empress..."
Li Yuan didn't speak, but clenched his fists, his face looking rather grim.
This was the first time he had ever felt such an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
Because of this damned poison, he can't even protect the people he loves...
A dense killing intent emanated from Li Yuan, startling Jiang Bai, who quickly supported him: "Your Excellency! You mustn't get angry right now!"
Li Yuan closed his eyes briefly, trying to calm the surging killing intent within him.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and the murderous aura around him had calmed down.
Li Yuan glanced at Jiang Bai and said, "Don't tell the Empress about the Demon-Slaying Operation for now."
Bai bowed and said, "Your subordinate understands."

late at night.
Ye Fei took out a box from her storage ring. Inside the box was the Xuanming Prison Silk that she had previously commissioned Song Yu to forge.
Upon opening the box, Ye Fei saw two nearly transparent silk threads lying quietly inside, along with two rings used to secure the threads.
First, fix one end of the thread to the ring buckle, then put the ring buckle on your finger joint.
The seemingly soft silk thread was instantly taut by the subtle infusion of spiritual energy!
Ye Fei walked out of the palace and strolled around outside before finally finding a tree.
With a wave of her hand, the silk threads between her fingers flew into the air and pierced the trunk of the big tree at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
Only a faint sound filled the air, and upon closer inspection, the silk thread had pierced directly through the tree trunk—
Ye Fei stepped forward to observe more closely, raising her other hand and gently touching the silk thread with her fingertips.
"hiss……!"
The moment her skin touched the silk thread, Ye Fei felt a stinging pain in her finger. She looked at her finger and saw a deep cut on her fingertip, from which bright red blood was oozing.
Ignoring the injury to her fingertip, Ye Fei looked at the thread with delight. It was done!
This is the hidden weapon forged from the white mulberry silk, which is known as the toughest silk thread in the world—the Xuanming Prison Silk!
Once spiritual energy is injected, the silk threads are released instantly, unstoppable and piercing. A human body not protected by protective gear is simply unable to resist this extremely terrifying piercing force.
"Fei'er?"
Li Yuan's voice came from behind. Ye Fei turned around, smiled at the man in black robes in front of her, and then eagerly walked over and held her hand up in front of him: "Look! Another hidden weapon is finished!"
Li Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the two transparent threads tucked between her slender, fair fingers. His eyes flickered. "Is this the Xuanming Prison Thread you mentioned?"
“That’s right.” Ye Fei nodded, removed the ring from her finger, and smiled slightly: “It’s similar to your Soul-Locking Silk, but my Xuanming Prison Silk can’t extract souls. However, it can be used to coat poisons. When activated instantly, it can take a person’s life without a doubt…”
As she was speaking to Li Yuan, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that he had raised her other hand and was looking at her bloodied fingertips.
Li Yuan frowned: "What happened?"
