"Speak!"
"Found it."
The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thumped to the ground on one knee, knowing there was no room left for concealing anything.
The Empress was already in a state of rage, and if he dithered any longer, he might not even be able to save his own life.
"Your Majesty, we have searched all of Chang'an, and finally received news that two hours ago, the Demon Lord was seen at White Jade Tower. The Oiran, Chu Lian'er herself, accompanied him and even played a pipa tune for the Demon Lord."
"..."
Silence, a deathly stillness!
Outside Chang'an, tranquility reigned, not a sound from the birds, as if even the air had frozen, so still it could almost drip with water.
Crack!
Crack!
The Empress gritted her teeth, a raging fire burning in her heart, and her aura of murder grew ever more intense, wishing she could find the demon and flay him, tear him to ten thousand pieces.
Damn it! It's a sin worthy of ten thousand deaths!
