"Quick, protect the Emperor!"
Countless people screamed, but it was already too late!
Princess Nianxi was closer to Qi Yun, but there were palace concubines and princes nearby, either paralyzed with fear or weakened by the poison, experiencing various hallucinations, unable to protect at all.
As for the guards around Qi Yun?
These people were undoubtedly skilled, but the more skilled they were, the less they could resist the Heart-devouring Fruit. With True Qi running through them, the poison quickly spread.
They were surrounded by illusions, unable to tell where the assassins were, so how could they protect him?
"Clang—"
The sword sang softly, and in an instant, it was right in front of Qi Yun!
Qi Yun sat firmly on the Dragon Throne, looking coldly at Princess Nianxi across from him.
His vision was a bit blurred, figures constantly overlapping, as if numerous Princess Nianxis were rushing over, the sword's cold gleam making his vision even blurrier.
