Just his dark aura alone was enough to make one’s heart quiver, even more so than the raging storm outside.
Thunder rumbled continuously outside. Every step that Xie Limo walked out felt like him stepping upon the hearts of those in his way.
The torrential rain came down upon everyone, including Xie Limo, but it didn’t affect his murderous intent and aura.
He had only one direction, and that was leaving the palace and going home.
Because of the attack, the guards sent out an emergency order, summoning countless guards to stop Xie Limo.
They were carrying out orders, and their mission tonight was to stop him.
But Xie Limo had never feared anyone. He ferociously tossed out the whip as he continued to walk forward, as though there wasn’t anyone in his path.
Even as he walked like this, he gave off an intimidating presence. Although he was but one person, he was unstoppable.
Under the rumbling of thunder and flashing of lightning, everyone stared at Xie Limo, suddenly unable to move their legs.
There’s a kind of person in this world that even if he were to merely stand or walk, he would strike fear and awe in the hearts of everyone around him, causing them to involuntarily shiver.
Moreover, Xie Limo was born with an imposing aura—the distinct aura of those in power, making one can’t help but wish to obey his orders.
“Quick, stop him. We can’t let him leave.”
“Use a gun. Hurry up and use a gun. Make sure he stays alive.”
The guards all took out their guns and were prepared to shoot in Xie Limo’s direction. But before they could shoot him, Xie Limo had made a leap and hooked the long whip onto a tall tree. He swung, hanging from the tall tree swiftly, and his figure turned into a blur in the dark, making one unable to grasp his position.
From inside the palace, Xie Liu watched with a deep gaze at everything going on outside.
Who were they to stop Young Master Xie from leaving? They must be dreaming. Back in the days, Young Master Xie single-handedly fought against thousands of soldiers and horses, and no one was able to stop him, much less this mere palace.
In a cold and sharp manner, Xie Limo barged his way out of the many guns pointing at him.
In the dark night, the rumbling of thunder concealed the sounds of countless gun shots.
Amidst this chaos, Xie Wu led the hidden guards into the palace, waiting to give backup to Young Master Xie. He took out his gun and held them with both hands.
Xie Limo looked at Xie Wu, his expression toned down. “I’ll let all of you take care of this.”
“Yes, Young Master Xie!”
With Xie Wu and the many hidden guards of the Xie family as a cover, Xie Limo broke past the many layers of security and barged his way out of the palace, continuing on his way home.
…
After she was notified of Xie Limo’s escape, Xiajun Yanwu stood up from her chair, disbelief written all over her face.
“He managed to barge his way through the ten thousand guards I arranged?”
Wu Yin replied, “Princess, this goes to show you have excellent taste.”
“Indeed. Only Xie Limo can make me expend so much effort.”
“Princess, what are we going to do next?”
Xiajun Yanwu crossed her arms and said, “We’ll take this opportunity to turn his trick against him.”
Wu Yin didn’t understand.
Xiajun Yanwu explained, “My father has lived long enough. Let’s help him end his suffering tonight!”
Wu Yin was alarmed to hear this from Xiajun Yanwu. She realized that even though she had been by the princess’s side for a long time, she didn’t understand the princess at all.
But now, they could only act according to plan, for they had no route to retreat.
…
Yun Bixue, at this moment, was lying on the floor, feeling bouts of pain in her stomach.
The anxious servants tried their best to soothe Yun Bixue and were even perspiring on their foreheads out of anxiety.
Yun Bixue was in a dazed state and nearly fainted. “Is the doctor here yet?”
