be some hidden agenda guon tion found
the discourse tiresome she realized that
this task of guarding the palace was not
akin to preparing for battle but rather
embroiled in a struggle for power a cold
smile crept upon her lips at such a
critical moment when the palace Gates
could be breached at any moment there
were still those who failed to grasp the
gravity of the situation seeking to
exploit the chaos for their own gain
suddenly she felt that the true Menace
was not the creatures from the
underworld but rather the selfish
desires of humanity guon tion abruptly
stood her voice icy I did not come here
to listen to this if you wish to explain
allow me to speak the Rockery conceals a
secret passage leading outside the
palace upon our arrival we found the
area besieged by creatures from the
underworld at her words a minister
gasped what the Crown Prince actually
giu Tintin's gaze sharpened cutting him
off silence the minister cast a glance
at the silent Emperor and then at gu
Tintin's gleaming staff recalling that
it was capable of dispatching him in an
instant and thus he begrudgingly fell
silent the palace was restricted from
aerial access and entry through the
gates was impossible I intended to
return home with my companions yet it
was the Crown Prince who implored me to
stay stating that there exists a secret
passage into the palace now that the
palace is in Dire Straits our assistance
is crucial unable to contact your
majesty for orders he had no choice but
to act first and Report later guon tion
turned her gaze toward the ministers her
eyes filled with evident scorn do you
deem it inappropriate believing our
assistance to be of no value compared to
a mere secret passage she paused looking
towards hang Fu Yin your majesty is

crown Prince's sincere intentions
against him concealing matters would
yield no benefit it was better to lay
everything bear striking at the root of
the problem under the guise of
righteousness silencing their objections
hang Fu Yan's eyes held a smile yet his
tone remained calm certainly not
pouching has acted commendably a secret
passage is merely an Escape Route left
by the first emperor for Our Kind hang
Fu Yin and the empress shared a
childhood Bond their feelings profound
the empress being the apple of his eye
meant that as long as he could find
justification to quell the denters the
outcome was inevitable your majesty this
matter is improper a minister Cried Out
gianan raised an eyebrow regarding the
man what if the creatures from the
underworld breach the palace Gates do
you not intend to escape through the
secret passage will your family not flee
she was certain that the families of
these ministers were already within the
palace indeed the old Minister who had
initially considered refusing to leave
turned Crimson at her words his entire
family numbering in the dozens were not
all cultivators lacking sufficient means
to escape and remaining within the
palace would spell Doom for them at T
last the hall fell into a hushed silence
duun smiled Your Majesty we have come to
slay the enemy please instruct us where
to lend our support finally through gu
Tintin's straightforward approach the
matter was resolved hang fuing became
the guide and the group exited the Hall
of diligent governance heading toward
the White Tiger Gate after walking a
distance Wang Fu hoing deeply bowed to
tontion thank you holy Maiden giu
tontion raised her arm shaking her head
no need for thanks it is merely the
emperor's favoritism toward you
otherwise what reason would there be for
such accusations indeed were it not for
my father's partiality we would have
