Nanli bestowed upon them amulets of protection, alleviating their worries.
Moreover, this formation only targeted men, leaving women unharmed and secure.
The palace maids' hearts finally settled as Nanli guided them to dig in several locations.
Sure enough, they unearthed numerous jars buried beneath.
A solemn expression fell upon everyone's faces.
Empress Xie, witnessing it with her own eyes, couldn't bear the shock and fainted, her vision turning black.
Ye Chengyan widened his eyes, murmuring, "How… how is this possible? How can this be?!"
As the jars were exposed to sunlight, dark energy dissipated into thin air.
However, the malevolent contents of the central jar remained fierce, undeterred by the sunlight, and surged towards the relatives and ministers in the corridor.
People cried out in alarm, pushing and shoving one another.
Yet, a golden light flashed, a talismanic seal blocking the dark energy.
