The formation in the palace reacted instantly, countless brightly glowing stars dropping down like an illusory palace hall toward Xin Haichen.
Xin Haichen was an important figure in the army of the imperial court, so he was fully aware of the power of this formation. With a grunt, the soft armor hidden inside his cloth expanded abruptly, turning into a huge puppet to block the illusory palace hall.
Soon, the puppet had crumpled along with innumerable and frequent sounds, but the blocking puppet had gained a window of opportunity for Xin Haichen.
His will of the broadsword, which had already left his hand, was on its way to cut Jing Yao in half.
Standing in the side hall, the Royal Concubine Hu looked at the scene with a pale face. She was so anxious to save her son that she was about to show her true vixen nature with no regard for the consequence of doing so in public; but she was intercepted by a hand.
Crack!!!
