855 You Can’t Do Anything About Me! (1/2)

”Wei Zixun, undo this spell immediately! It's an order!”

Jiang Hongyan glared coldly at the white-clad man, her face icy. At that very instant, her indisputable tone and regal verve stumped everyone. Such is the verve of the Empress of no equal of her time – even a single sentence was powerful enough to intimidate the crowd.

However, people were most startled about why the Empress behaved like that. From what they remembered of her, the Empress was always composed; no matter what happened, she would be as calm as still water. There was a sense of distance about her, an unapproachable remoteness, but never had she been this assertive!

Now, she had become thunderous for the first time, all for a young man in the Form Synthesis Stage. To think that she would order around the Young Master of the Saint Palace, her fiance, in such a tone!

Not only was everyone shocked, so was Wei Zixun. He had never seen the Empress like this.

”Holy Senior, you,...” he said in disbelief, seemingly wanting to ask her why.

Swoosh!

Before he could finish, Jiang Hongyan had thrown out a wisp of golden glow. The glow swiftly condensed into a sword in mid-air, its tip pointing directly at Wei Zixun's throat. It was a scene that not anyone had ever expected to see.

Orders aside, did she seriously execute a spell to threaten the Young Master?

Wei Zixun was unsettled and jittery, but he also wanted Xu Que to die in the battle. He answered coolly, ”Holy Senior, don't tell me that you want to kill me? Have you forgotten about our engagement?”

It was evident that he did not believe that Jiang Hongyan would dare to attack him.

However, once he had finished talking, Jiang Hongyan swept her golden sword toward Wei Zixun's throat without hesitation.

Whiz!

Wei Zixun immediately retreated as quick as lightning. Horror and incredulity filled his face! Everyone else, including those from the Saint Palace and the Imperial Palace, stirred in fright. The Empress tried to kill the young master of the Saint Palace?

”What...what's going on?”

Those from the Imperial Palace stood blankly at a loss, as they wondered who they should support later on.

”Holy Senior, pardon me for being direct, but what's the meaning of this?” Wei Zixun asked chillingly as his expression darkened.

Just now, he had felt Jiang Hongyan's sword going in for the kill. If not for his strength and immediate reaction, he would have died there on the spot!

”If he dies, I'll make sure that you'll be next!” Jiang Hongyan answered. Her frosty expression sent many shivers down everyone's spines.

Especially so when she said ”you'll be next”– many knew better than to take that as just a verbal threat and immediately believed that she would walk the walk.

Wei Zixun's handsome face had become somewhat distorted and stormy. Anyone with functioning eyes could see how furious he was. As the young master of the Saint Palace, he was almost on a par with the Empress in terms of status. Moreover, she was his fiancee! However, for another man, the Empress had wanted to kill him without any hesitation. Every man would find that unbearable!

”Well, since the Holy Senior has given an order, why are you guys still standing there stunned? Release the spell!” Eventually, Wei Zixun flung back his sleeves and instructed his men angrily.

The crowd broke into a commotion. Followers of the Saint Palace immediately reacted, ”Young master, Holy Senior, this...this will not do!”

”The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes have all been drawn out. Should we undo the spell, we would have no way to escape in the face of the mosquitoes!”

”Besides, the spell is easy to start but difficult to end. It would take us at least an hour!”

”I'm afraid that by the time we undo the seal, the young man will already be dead. Please, Holy Senior, we implore you to retract your order!”

”Please retract your order” People in the Imperial Palace shouted in unison.

”Crap! Why did you seal the spell so quickly then? That kid had time to escape but fell into your trap. Don't you have any shame? How can you still have the cheek to say such words?” Buttface jumped up and accused angrily.

People's faces turned slightly peculiar. True enough, with Xu Que's speed, it was entirely possible for him to make it out. However, Young Master Wei had ordered them to seal off the formation right away. Who would dare to defy him?

”Forget it, forget it! What's done is done. I've seen through your true colors; all of you are cruel and merciless to the point that it is shameful! Quick, pay me a couple of million best-grade spirit stones as compensation!” Buttface demanded as he held out his paws to the crowd.

The people's eyes all opened wide.

”What are you waiting for? Why are you all staring at me? I am about to lose a good brother. Shouldn't you guys offer some compensation?” Buttface said indignantly.

The crowd's mouths twitched uncomfortably. They were rendered speechless. They had thought that this dog was loyally protecting its master, but it turned out that he was trying to grab the chance to blackmail them! Damn, this is one immoral and shameless dog!

Boom!
