Li Wangyi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the pervasive aura of evil spirits drifting throughout the underground city. Judging by this, the great, vicious entity suppressed beneath the earth was truly formidable, and it had clearly awakened—making it no easy foe.
Hearing his question, Huo Tingjie nodded. "Indeed. For over a hundred years, that vicious creature remained in a dormant state, so the imperial court simply reinforced the seals each year without provoking it. However, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the celestial energy surged, and several imperial saints—including the late Emperor—departed. With no one left to hold the fort, the beast stirred back to life. Thankfully, Her Highness, Princess Jianing, was here to suppress it in time."
When mentioning Princess Jianing, Huo Tingjie’s face was filled with admiration. After all, the former "Little Eleventh Princess" was not even twenty years old, yet she was already shouldering the most crucial responsibility of the Great Wei dynasty. Li Wangyi, having traveled with Princess Jianing to Bixluo Heaven, also held a favorable impression of her. Without further comment, he gestured for Commander Huo to lead the way.
