Chapter 148 - 45: The Descent of the Divine Fire
Lie Rou finally managed to keep up with the pace of the soldiers and arrived at the Youlian Palace, but Yue Chen was nowhere to be found.
Hongling followed closely after Lie Rou, reaching the front of the Youlian Palace. At this moment, the Youlian Palace was eerily strange.
The eaves of the Luli Palace and the Lotus Water Pavilion were all shrouded in a dark haze, completely obscuring the appearance of the palatial halls within.
The several acres of Blood Lotus in the water pavilion, their petals resembling engorged blood. The palace was enveloped by a persistent Black Cloud, with black and red Evil Qi tumbling incessantly.
The Feise Empress Dowager walked to the side of the Water Pavilion, her beautiful eyes looking in a certain direction, her lips curving into a faint, barely-there smile.
Fa Xiaoyi’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, he glanced at the Female Official with slight anger, clearly blaming her for acting too recklessly just now. Fortunately, he had volunteered just before and proactively dispersed the crowd. Accompanying him to the Youlian Palace were over a hundred of his trusted aides from the Fa Xiaoyi’s personal guards.
Upon seeing Lie Rou and Hongling, who followed closely behind, Fa Xiaoyi’s face showed displeasure, but he did not explode in anger immediately.
"Lady Yue, this place is dangerous, please step back," Fa Xiaoyi had taken the lead in bringing the palace’s Divine Crossbow Team here for a reason, with a purpose in mind. The hidden secrets of the Youlian Palace, if they got out, especially to the ears of people like the Empress Dowager, would be quite unfavorable to the Consort.
