Empress Wu’s gaze fell upon Ye Daoyuan and Yin Daoist: “You are the superintendent of the imperial court and the master of the royal Zong Sheng Temple, yet you have teamed up with others to break into the palace city. What is your intention?”
Faced with Empress Wu’s questioning, the two men halted, unsure how to respond.
After all, there were things they could do, but they could not speak outright.
Meanwhile, Pei Xuanjing suddenly smiled, took a big step forward, and said aloud: “Congratulations to the Empress Dowager for ascending to the Realm of Heavenly People. Today, we invite the Empress Dowager to ascend!”
Silence.
Deathly silence filled the entire Palace City. No one dared to utter a word. Even those who were injured at the Heavenly Rank seemed to forget their pain and looked blankly at Pei Xuanjing.
“Invite the Empress Dowager to ascend” sounded good, but in reality, it meant forcing the Empress Dowager to die.
Surprise flashed across Empress Wu’s eyes, as she looked at the swordsman standing before her, a killing intent arose in her heart, making the temperature of the entire Palace City seem to drop instantly, and turn chilly.
Ye Daoyuan and Yin Daoist, both being decisive people, saw Pei Xuanjing speaking out and didn’t hesitate to step forward, saying in unison: “We invite the Empress Dowager to ascend!”
“You, are you planning to rebel?” Empress Wu surveyed them with her cold eyes, she said coldly.
