Li Dai made her decision and acted with swift efficiency. Unseen and undetected, she entered the imperial palace and reached the secluded quarters where the Emperor of Qi was being detained. Looking at the figure sitting inside the dilapidated hall, Li Dai couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In a mere three days, this man had fallen from a lofty Son of Heaven to a prisoner in chains. Truly, the affairs of the world were unpredictable.
Stepping into the overgrown courtyard, Li Dai withdrew her soul-concealing technique, revealing her form. Hearing the sound, the Emperor of Qi turned his head. Seeing that it was Li Dai, his numb expression abruptly shifted in color. It was no wonder he reacted this way; Li Dai's methods that day had been altogether too unfathomable. She had done nothing at all, yet countless illusory, needle-like objects had suddenly materialized around her, spinning, before shooting in unison toward the ferocious mob that had come to smash things. Though they hadn't died, they had screamed in endless agony. It was precisely for this reason that the onlookers surrounding Wu Juechen had lost all desire to watch the spectacle and had scattered in panic.
Clearly, she had come for that person. He had no idea what relationship the man he had tied up shared with her, but there was no doubt the two were accomplices.
