"How dare you!"
Quan Zhan roared, his voice echoing throughout the entire imperial palace. He even drew the imperial sword from his waist and pointed it at his rebellious eldest daughter.
The human body in this world contains various energies, and the average lifespan is two to three hundred years. Some powerful superhumans can even live for more than five hundred years.
Similarly, it is difficult for this world to give birth to new life; many people only have one child every few decades.
Quan Zhan is the third ruler of the Holy Glory Empire. He is only a little over a hundred years old and in his prime, yet Quan Ji has begun to covet his throne. What is this if not utter treason?!
This wretched child—!
Quan Ji's eyes were cold as she stared at the sword's edge, yet she remained calm and composed: "Do you dare to lay a hand on me?"
Quan Zhan wouldn't dare, at least not today.
Tomorrow is the investiture ceremony.
The Holy Conferment takes place every five hundred years. The gods who protect a nation will choose their holy servants from those who have received divine blessings, and have these servants convey their will and lead the empire to glory.
This concerns the fate of the nation, as well as the power and life of the emperor; Quan Zhan would never dare to joke about such a thing.
That year, only two people were blessed by the gods: the two princesses of the Holy Glory Empire.
Before the sacred investiture ceremony, if anything were to happen to either of them, it would incur the wrath of the gods.
No matter how crazy and arrogant Quan Zhan was, he dared not disobey the gods.
He could only express his overwhelming rage by making the sword tip vibrate with the trembling of his body.
"Quan Ji, don't think the gods can protect you for much longer. Tomorrow, at the Holy Conferment Ceremony, you will understand just how ridiculous your life has been all these years!"
Ultimately, only Quan Yao can become a Holy Servant!
Only someone as perfect and flawless as Quan Yao deserves to be a holy servant!
Quan Ji remained composed, raising her chin. "Then we'll wait and see."
After saying that, she put her hands in her pockets and turned to leave.
Her repeated disobedience and willful behavior enraged Quan Zhan, who roared, "Who let you leave?! Guards...lock her in the dungeon!"
Upon hearing the commotion, the guards at the main hall entrance blocked Princess Quan's path.
Quan Ji glanced at it indifferently, her eyes full of mockery.
Are you sure?
"Your Majesty's orders have offended many people."
Quan Yao's bodyguard captain, Wang Lin, said coldly.
Their anger towards Princess Quan reached its peak.
It was this woman who caused their Princess Quan Yao to suffer such humiliation today!
They pointed their weapons at Kwon Ji.
Quan Ji opened her half-closed eyes, a golden light flashing in them: "Get out!"
She lifted a guard carrying a long spear with one hand, flipped him off, and swept the spear in one direction, striking the guard's body and knocking them all against the wall.
Everything happened so fast that almost no one had time to react before they were swept up in the sweeping.
They were shocked: What was the source of Quan Ji's power? Wasn't she a good-for-nothing? How could she have wiped them out so easily? They were all legitimate martial artists!
Even Quan Zhan was surprised by the scene before him.
Quan Ji...when did she become so strong?
He never gave her any cultivation methods, and strictly forbade anyone to teach her cultivation. This strength... is probably as strong as a thousand catties—wouldn't that make her... a great martial artist?!
He suddenly widened his eyes, feeling resentful.
She truly is that man's daughter...
Princess Quan must die!
However, Princess Quan had already successfully walked out of the main hall.
