Chapter 147 - 44 The Evil-absorbing Sword_2
The evil Qi, black as filthy mud, enveloped Yue Jinghua like a rapacious beast opening its gaping maw, ready to devour her should she make the slightest move. Her heart stirred slightly, and the "Lianyun" in her hands crossed in front of her chest. On the broken sword, the Xuan crystal stone that resembled ink jade flickered lively. As her fingertips slid across Lianyun, a cool but not icy sensation spread from her fingers to her heart.
Panic and helplessness, like the morning mist in winter, dissipated upon encountering the clear day.
Yue Jinghua flared her nostrils, taking small breaths, the great sword in her hand silently raised above her head.
In the Jinghua Garden, King Fa Xiaoyun of Shang and the Empress had just arrived, waiting for the elder princess to join them.
Suddenly, Ruo Yun, a female official of the Feise Empress Dowager, rushed in hurriedly, her face deathly pale and her body stained with blood. Upon seeing the people in the garden, she fell to her knees with a thud, "Consort mother, someone has dared to intrude into the Youlian Palace."
Upon hearing this, the Feise Empress Dowager’s expression changed slightly but quickly regained her composure. She stood up, paid her respects to King Fa Xiaoyun and the Empress Dowager, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, those present felt a tremor under their feet, and from the direction of the Youlian Palace, a strange fluctuation emanated, its immense power causing the Feise Empress Dowager and the female official to shift expression.
Fa Xiao stood up abruptly, "There seems to be a disturbance ahead, someone protect the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and everyone, follow me to the Youlian Palace."
