Chapter 324. Related to floating on water
Upon hearing that Zhao Luofei was arriving with the Long Xiao Guards, Di Qingying nearly fell off her horse.
"How can they have arrived so quickly?"
She trembled with panic; according to their estimates, the Long Xiao Guards wouldn’t arrive until morning, so how could they possibly be here in the middle of the night?
They arrived a full four hours earlier than expected.
Unbeknownst to her, Zhao Luofei had flown over with the Tiger Talisman given by Qiao Sen, allowing her to swiftly take command of the entire Long Xiao Guards and quickly head out.
What terrified Di Qingying more was Zhao Luofei herself. Despite her young age, she was a major pillar among military generals, courageous in battle and unmatched in her strategic prowess.
Zhao Luofei had been missing for days, so how had she suddenly reappeared?
Instinctively, Di Qingying wanted to flee, but she forced herself to resist the impulse. She had to confront Zhao Luofei head-on in the Capital. If she fled, it would be the end.
Di Qingying could only order her subordinates to lead troops to intercept and ensure Zhao Luofei’s forces were blocked outside the Capital, at least holding out until they breached the Imperial Palace.
She looked up at the palace walls, where several Substitute Messengers and three Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were already engaged in battle, but the situation seemed dire with no signs of victory.
The substitutes of the Substitute Messengers were imperfect, lacking innate abilities, only able to assist in melee combat.
