"Slash!"
A loud shout echoed out, as a cold glint flickered in Jiang Chen's eyes. A dazzling white light shone from his hand, as he fiercely struck a hand chop into the void.
"Roar!"
A weak growl resonated, and a cloud of black mist exploded out of that void.
Swish, swish, swish!
The white light on Jiang Chen's body suddenly intensified, instantly dissolving all the surrounding black mist into nothingness.
Phew!
Jiang Chen let out a gentle sigh of relief and flashed down to the ground.
Thud!
Hu Li and the others all landed beside Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Jiang, we owe it to you!" Hu Li placed one hand over his chest and gave Jiang Chen a gentleman's salute.
"Thank you!"
Puluosi and the three elderly men who appeared later all gave Jiang Chen a gentleman's salute.
"There's no need for thanks!" Jiang Chen gently waved his hand.
Puluosi stayed behind to handle the aftermath, while Jiang Chen and the others went again to the empress's sleeping quarters.
