Emperor Longteng gathered energy, and as he did, True Qi surged within him, causing the blood vessels in his body to swell. With a thunderous palm strike, he swung toward the window.
The window shattered with a loud crash, turning into dust.
A gust of cold wind blew in through the open window with a chill.
The cold wind made Emperor Longteng shiver involuntarily.
Outside, it was pitch black, as if all the palace lanterns had been extinguished in an instant.
Suddenly, a strange figure flashed by. The figure slowly turned, revealing that his limbs had been chopped off. He was a ghostly figure, with disheveled hair, even his eyeballs had been gouged out, and his old and dignified face was filled with hatred.
Without eyes, only two bloody cavities were left on the face, facing Emperor Longteng.
He wore armor, indicating he was a military general, with bloodstains all over his beard and hair.
"Your Majesty, do you still rember your old minister?"
The ghostly figure spoke, with his voice blurred. Upon closer inspection, his tongue had also been cut out, leaving only a bloody ss.
He grinned at Emperor Longteng, showing a mouthful of bloody teeth.
Emperor Longteng was paralyzed with fear and couldn’t utter a word.
Outside, there was a shriek, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps.
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor! There’s a haunting!"
The eunuch’s sharp voice echoed throughout the entire Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Army rushed into the Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you alright? We arrived late to your protection, please forgive us."
Captain Yang was on duty tonight and rushed over as soon as he heard the commotion in the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Longteng remained silent for a long ti.
"Find... find the Crown Prince."
After a long pause, Emperor Longteng finally exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice.
Little Xinzhuo returned to the palace, his face still full of joy.
Tonight, he sought guidance from his sister on Spirit Art and learned a lot.
He did not expect his sister to make such progress, becoming a Great Spirit Master.
This was only in the realm of spiritual practitioners; in terms of martial artists, his sister had even matched Mo Wu.
The rumors outside said that his sister managed to fight Mo Wu to a draw purely by luck, due to collusion within Qingtian Academy, but Little Xinzhuo knew very well that his sister was truly formidable.
If Spirit Art was also accounted for, Mo Wu was definitely no match for his sister.
This year’s Little Eagle Chick Conference was definitely worth looking forward to.
It seed he needed to be more diligent in cultivation as well, to avoid losing face for his sister.
Little Xinzhuo happily remarked.
He was so excited that he didn’t notice that there were significantly fewer guards at the palace gate than usual when he entered.
As he approached Shanyu Palace, Little Xinzhuo suddenly felt a disturbance.
"Is it ghost soldiers?"
Little Xinzhuo recognized the aura of the ghost soldiers from Shanyu Palace.
"Why are you out here? Didn’t I tell you to be careful and not step outside Shanyu Palace during this ti? The palace is haunted, and if you get discovered, it could be troubleso."
Little Xinzhuo looked around and saw two grey shadowy ghosts,
"Seventh Prince, there’s trouble!"
The urgent voice of the ghost soldiers reached him.
They usually obeyed and followed Little Xinzhuo’s instructions. Unless Shi Fei left the palace, they wouldn’t step outside either.
"The palace is haunted again?"
Little Xinzhuo asked with caution.
"It’s worse than a haunting — the Imperial Study Room has been haunted. Emperor Longteng was quite frightened, and he’s currently leading people to capture the ghosts."
The ghost soldiers sensed the presence of the intruder and ca out to report.
"What! Who is going to capture the ghosts?"
Little Xinzhuo hadn’t expected even the Emperor had encountered a ghost.
But didn’t his sister say that the Emperor was protected by the Emperor’s Fortune and unafraid of ghostly monsters!
