Qinghui Hall.
Ling Muxue's attack was swift and fierce, and she killed the assassin leader with her sword.
With all the assassins dead, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ling Muxue did not relax at all. Instead, she held her sword horizontally in front of her, her posture even more solemn than before, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Until her voice rang out urgently:
"Be careful, they are two second-grade cultivators!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyue felt a chill run down her spine. What the hell?
Instinctively, she lowered her voice and said quickly, "Maybe... let's run!"
Although she could simulate that kind of "untouchable" speed, the enemy's strength had increased far too quickly and ridiculously!
Not long after he reached the Qi Martial Realm, he was assassinated by a third-grade sorcerer.
Now that he has finally broken through to the third rank, and just after showing off and going on a killing spree, he is about to face a powerful enemy at the second rank.
Two at once! Who can handle that?
Given Qin Zhaoyue's current speed, it would be extremely difficult for her to escape with everyone involved.
In a flash, a thought even crossed her mind:
Or should we just take Xiao Jiu with us to break through? At least we can leave some bloodline for the Empress...
However, just as her thoughts were racing, two figures appeared in the dilapidated courtyard outside Qinghui Palace.
The two were none other than Jiang Wuyai and Chu Xinglan, who had rushed over at breakneck speed.
Ling Muxue narrowed her eyes, her gaze instantly fixing on Chu Xinglan's face, full of scrutiny and vigilance, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Does the magistrate's presence here at this moment indicate that he too intends to rebel?"
Chu Xinglan's gaze swept over the fragments of assassins scattered inside and outside the hall, along with the corpses in various gruesome ways, and her expression changed slightly.
"Miss Ling has misunderstood. Xinglan was on official business outside the palace when she sensed something unusual and rushed back immediately."
However, Ling Muxue remained on guard, her gaze coldly sweeping over Jiang Wuyai beside her.
"His Majesty's order is for the official to bring this person back to the palace?"
The palace is now fraught with danger, and His Majesty is extremely wary of Jiang Wuyai of the Tianyan Sect. How could he possibly order someone to bring him into the palace at such a time?
Chu Xinglan was speechless for a moment and could not answer immediately.
Jiang Wuyai, however, paid no attention to the witty exchange between the two. He craned his neck and peered intently into the hall.
My gaze passed over Ling Muxue's shoulder and finally caught a glimpse of half of Qin Zhaoyue's profile.
In an instant, her face blossomed like a radiant chrysanthemum, her smile so wide that her eyes disappeared from her grin.
"Junior Sister! I've finally found you! I've been looking for you for so long!"
His voice was filled with indescribable surprise and excitement, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Huh? What junior sister?
Qin Zhaoyue had a huge question mark on her head.
Why did she feel that the old man opposite her was staring intently at her with such burning gaze?
Because Ling Muxue's figure was blocking his view, the old man even tilted his upper body to the side to precisely lock onto her direction.
Qin Zhaoyue silently took a small step to the right.
Old Deng's gaze immediately followed.
She tentatively moved back one step to the left.
Old Deng's gaze followed closely once again, without missing a beat.
Qin Zhaoyue sighed silently.
Okay, it's confirmed. That so-called "junior sister" they were talking about is definitely me.
Qin Zhaoyue was completely stunned.
No, is this old man crazy?
Who is his junior sister? He's never even met her.
Who are you?
Jiang Wuyai's surprise only increased; he waved his hand confidently, his tone absolutely certain.
"Junior sister, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you."
There's absolutely no mistake, I can smell it clearly!
As he spoke, he reached out to pull Chu Xinglan aside, seemingly wanting her to testify, but Chu Xinglan dodged him expressionlessly.
"Speak up, Junior Sister Chu!" he urged impatiently.
Chu Xinglan's gaze also passed through Ling Muxue, who was blocking her way, and landed on Qin Zhaoyue's face.
That gaze was extremely complex, a mixture of scrutiny, inquiry, and a hint of disbelief.
She spoke slowly, her voice clear and cool, yet possessing a strange, penetrating power.
"Sixth Prince, the Heavenly Disc, the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, should be on your person right now, and it should have already recognized you as its master."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyue immediately waved her hand and denied it without even thinking.
"Nonsense! What 'heavenly compass'? I've never even heard of it."
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I, the princess, will sue you for defamation!"
Chu Xinglan said no more, and with a slight thought, she directly activated the Human Plate Sacred Artifact within her body.
Jiang Wuyai, who was standing to the side, suddenly slapped his forehead, his face showing an extremely annoyed expression.
I was so excited that I forgot the simplest and most direct method.
He immediately composed himself and, without hesitation, activated the territory he controlled.
Buzz...
Just as their energies were surging, Qin Zhaoyue suddenly felt a strange tremor within her body.
The Book of Merit, dormant deep within her mind, suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, uncontrollably responding to the two summons that originated from the same source.
Three mysterious and vast auras instantly crossed space and violently connected together.
They echo each other, forming a stable and wondrous triangular domain.
Ling Muxue, who was right in the middle of the three, suddenly sensed an indescribable rhythm flowing through her body.
For the first time, his expression showed obvious surprise and astonishment.
This is... the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Plates of the Tianyan Sect?
The scene fell into an extremely subtle state of stagnation.
Qin Zhaoyue screamed in her mind, trying to stop the restless Book of Merit from flashing.
