Ji Xiaoxiao dared not risk her life and waited and waited, but the number of guards did not increase, but rather decreased.
"What's wrong with Long Aotian?" Even an emperor would cherish his life, and Long Aotian's actions were undoubtedly putting himself in a dangerous situation.
Ji Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and silently flowed into the central hall.
"My beloved concubine, come here and let me kiss you."
Even though they were miles apart, the stench of alcohol emanating from Long Aotian still made Ji Xiaoxiao want to vomit.
"Waste and garbage."
Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly flicked her right hand, and hundreds of silver needles shot out at once.
"Ta-da..."
Ji Xiaoxiao's all-out attack was easily blocked by Long Aotian.
"Elizabeth, you've arrived." Long Aotian's previous lewd demeanor vanished, replaced by a sharp glint of bloodlust in his eyes.
"He actually knew it was me!" Ji Xiaoxin was in a state of panic. "How did he know it was me? How did he know I was coming at this time?"
Long Aotian unfastened the bracelet from his wrist and casually tossed it on the ground. Ji Xiaoxiao, with her keen senses, immediately recognized the bracelet's true identity—a consciousness-defense bracelet.
"A consciousness defense bracelet, Long Aotian was prepared." Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Oh no, we've fallen for their trap."
Ji Xiaoxiao clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh. The pain kept Ji Xiaoxiao calm and composed as she devised a solution.
"His fondness for wine and women, along with all of Long Aotian's previous actions, were designed to lower my guard. The central hall was poorly guarded, a blatant attempt to lure me into a trap and then trap me. Hmph, someone has betrayed me."
Suddenly, Ji Xiaoxiao remembered the strangeness of the Sinful Star in the original owner's life. All communication possibilities on the Sinful Star had been cut off, so how did Lilith manage to notify Long Aotian to arrive in time? Now, it all seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
“A traitor, a traitor from Sakaridon, is among the entourage.”
Time and circumstances left Ji Xiaoxiao no time to think. Densely packed guards surged into the central hall in unison, while various small detectors dug deep into the ground to probe the hall inside and out.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Your Majesty, we've found it," said the head of the Imperial Guard.
Long Aotian wore a moon-white nightgown, his short, sharp hair styled wildly, giving him the uncanny appearance of a domineering CEO possessing a scholar.
"Seize her, I have much to say to Lady Elizabeth."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Imperial Guard made a gesture, and the men below began to move in an orderly fashion.
Ji Xiaoxiao, perched on the roof beam, watched as the Imperial Guards approached step by step, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed and impatient. Her assassination attempt had failed, and she was now surrounded and attacked; how could Ji Xiaoxiao not be furious and anxious?
"We cannot sit idly by and wait to die."
That being said, it's true that she's highly skilled in martial arts, but Long Aotian's imperial guards are not to be trifled with; they're not people she can come and go as she pleases.
What should we do?
With no foreign aid available, Ji Xiaoxiao will have to rely on brute force to break through.
"Bang bang bang..."
That night, the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the palace.
"Chase her, she must have escaped here."
Ji Xiaoxiao held her breath, her hands tightly covering her wound, as if kneading her flesh and blood like dough, not wanting the sound of blood dripping to attract the enemy.
A thorough search was underway when a soldier approached. "Captain, she's in..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Ji Xiaoxiao used "The Enchanting Path," and the soldier was completely trapped in the illusion created by Ji Xiaoxiao.
"From this day forward, you are my servant."
"Yes, my master."
Ji Xiaoxiao did not kill the soldiers, but instead sent them out to confuse the Imperial Guards outside.
"Commander, we haven't found anything over there."
After a while, the sound gradually faded away.
"Phew." Ji Xiaoxiao let out a breath.
“Ms. Elizabeth, now is not the time to relax.”
A ghostly voice suddenly rang out from the black smoke.
...
After two years of dormancy, Sacramento's overall strength has reached a new level.
The five generals worked day and night to develop military strength. Their soldiers, if not each one could take on a hundred, were at least superior to Long Aotian's Three Flower Legion in all aspects.
"Musen, will the Star Lord and the others be alright?" Shui Miao asked anxiously.
Ji Xiaoxiao and her group have been gone for three months, and in those three months, they have sent back only a handful of messages.
Through the giant screen, Mu Sen gazed at the vast universe, his blank eyes revealing no useful or unusual emotion.
“You know how strong the eldest and fourth brothers are. With the eldest and fourth brothers by his side, what accidents could possibly happen to the Star Lord? Moreover, with John accompanying them, and with John as his strategist, even if the Star Lord and the others are in danger, they will definitely be able to turn the situation around.”
Mu Sen stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight, like an unyielding flag.
"Now is not the time to think about this."
On the screen, one after another, strangely shaped spaceships, moving like mountains, attacked Sacramento.
