"Cough... You all may leave for now! We'll discuss this matter later."
"Additionally, no matter what commotion you hear later on, do not come near. I have some matters to attend to."
Luo Qingtong said.
"Yes."
Those kneeling outside all rose and left without asking any more questions, retreating far away from the hall.
Indeed, they had always been outside the hall, reporting to Luo Qingtong through the doors of the Inner Hall!
All this time, not one of them knew that within the Inner Hall, it wasn't the Empress Dowager Yan Xi they were loyal to.
And the master they were loyal to was, at this moment…
"Bang!"
After they had retreated, the entrance to the secret passage where Luo Qingtong had previously pushed Old Master Luo and Empress Dowager Yan Xi suddenly opened.
With a "boom," a figure burst out from within, lunging towards Luo Qingtong.
"Boom!"
The power emanating from that person was shocking; in just an instant, the violent wave of power surged towards Luo Qingtong.
