Bang!The Tyrant Hammer crashed into the longsword the next second, shattering it. Then Diego shouted as he was launched through the air, ripping a hole in the wall. He plummeted violently to the earth after flying dozens of meters.Diego had already been gravely injured when he fought Ambrose with his palm. He could no longer defend himself against Ambrose's overbearing hammer strike.After all, he was Darryl's son, the Elysium Gate's leader."Have you given any thought to your last words? How dare you do anything evil when you're that weak?" Ambrose snarled, his eyes fixed on Diego.Ambrose came toward Diego as he spoke, clutching his hammer tightly in his hand.A strong aura filled the entire fishing village.Diego was frozen in shock. His heart was racing with anxiety as he swallowed his saliva. He thought the impact had cracked his ribcage."Sect Master Darby!"Diego did not seem as arrogant as before when he saw Ambrose moving closer toward him. Immediately, he exclaimed
Damn it!Quincy was anxious, but the more she worried, the more her body's situation became out of control. The poison was spreading at an insane rate, and her internal energy was also becoming disorganized.That damned Sword Sect disciple!Quincy cursed angrily in her heart. She soon stopped expelling it and attempted to relax.However, it was too late. The Joyous Lust Pill poison entirely occupied her elixir field. She felt as if a flame was burning in her body, and it was getting hotter and hotter, which made her feel more and more uncomfortable."Argh..."Finally, Quincy could not help but let out a painful groan. Her delicate body curled on the ground and trembled slightly. Her beautiful face looked like she was in pain."What happened?" Ambrose said as he rushed in.Ambrose did not want to leave, so he stayed outside. Even though that woman was arrogant and snobby, she was still an acquaintance of his father. It would be unreasonable to leave her there.Ambrose was stun
If the story got out, her reputation as the Empress would be ruined.Ambrose laughed in his heart. 'What an interesting person! How could she still think about her image at a time like this?'Ambrose nodded and continued to detoxify the toxins in Quincy's body.For a moment, the two of them sat in complete silence.If an outsider were present, they would be astonished and might think otherwise. Quincy genuinely sought a man to help her cleanse the poison in her body as the dignified empress of South Cloud. Furthermore, the robe stuck to her alluring body due to sweat made her look more beautiful.Quincy was shy, but she did not have a choice. The Joyous Lust Pill's poison was too strong, and she needed Ambrose's help to eliminate it.After a short silence, footsteps were heard from the outside.Quincy and Ambrose were both startled when they heard the noise.It was the critical moment to remove the poison. If someone went there to disturb them, all their efforts would have been
Zack was ready to go inside when he thought about that."Stop!"However, Quincy's voice sounded from the other side just as Zack was about to pull the cloth at the door frame. "I don't need any help. Just wait outside."Her voice was not loud, but her tone was unquestionable.She could not let anyone see her like that.Quincy said, "Zack, search the nearby coast and gather our soldiers. Come to see me tomorrow morning."She could fully recover her internal energy in one night. There would be nothing to be concerned about once Ambrose had left.However, Zack stood still with a cold smile on his face.If the Empress did not allow him in, she must have been seriously injured.He could not miss such a good opportunity.Thinking of that, Zack said hypocritically, "Your Majesty, you must be seriously injured. How can I leave? Why don't I help you recover your internal energy? And then I'll get the soldiers."As soon as Zack finished his words, he lifted the rag and broke in.Quin
"Zack, how dare you talk to me in that manner? Have you ever thought about the consequences?" Quincy yelled.Zack laughed with disdain. "Consequences? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing such a shameful thing as a royal family member? Quincy, I'm trying to leave you with some dignity. Don't be so ungrateful."He glanced at Ambrose with disdain.Zack knew that Ambrose was healing Quincy. He would not dare to do anything to Zack at that critical moment.Zack did not realize that Ambrose had just finished eliminating the poison from Quincy's body when he rushed in. By sitting there, he was merely putting on a show.Quincy's body trembled when she heard Zack's answer, but she had no idea how to respond.After all, the scene where Ambrose helped her did seem indecent, but nothing was going on between them. She could not allow anyone to humiliate her in that manner.Quincy remarked coldly to Zack, "I am giving you another chance, Zack. If you do not kneel and apologi
Ambrose almost exerted all his strength in that palm attack. All of a sudden, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.He did not do anything beforehand to maintain the element of surprise."You—"Zack's face changed as he witnessed Ambrose's fury, and he asked, horrified, "Aren't you still healing her? It is impossible!" He had made a bold move because he thought Ambrose was healing Quincy's wounds. He did not anticipate misjudging the scenario.Ambrose said, "Do you think I have been sitting there to heal her wounds? We were already done when you broke into the room just now. I have been sitting here to see how a despicable man like you would act."Ambrose suddenly increased his speed.When Zack sensed Ambrose's deadly strength, he could not help but take a deep breath. He activated all his internal energy and struck Ambrose with his palm without thinking.A dull thud was heard as the two palms clashed. Then, Zack was thrown out of the hut with blood gushing from his wounds.
'Damn it!' At that point, Ambrose's anger flared. 'That sneaky Zack! How dare he try to ambush us?'Despite his young age, he had many experiences in the world of cultivators. He knew the reason behind Zack's strategy was so Zack could use the opportunity to escape.Ambrose rushed in front of Quincy. He swung his Tyrant Hammer to deflect the silver darts away from Quincy. Her body was still quite weak even after the poison had been purged. She would not be able to deflect the darts. If Ambrose did not intervene, the darts might pierce her body.Ambrose halted all silver darts in the blink of an eye, and they made audible sounds as they fell to the ground. Zack took advantage of the situation to flee. He clenched his teeth and hurried as quickly as lightning to disappear into the darkness, covering the wound on his body with his palm."Go after him!" When Quincy spotted Zack fleeing, she became agitated and yelled. She wanted to follow, but she grimaced, and sweat poured down her br
The civic and military officials assembled in the main hall ten minutes later. They were all taken aback when they saw how unsettled Zack was.A beautiful thin figure stood out among the crowd. She was dressed in a brilliant yellow gown with golden flowers and hair accessories made of feathers. She was certainly eye candy. The woman was Fanny Windsor. She was Quincy's favorite official, and she was the Guardian of the Hall. Even though it was only a third-rank official, it wielded considerable power. She could take the Empress' place and handle the government affairs while the Empress was unavailable.Fanny stood quietly in front of the throne seat. All the civil and military officials stood respectfully and did not dare to be presumptuous. On the other hand, Zack had a disdainful expression on his face.He needed to rush back to the Royal City for several reasons, one of which was to get rid of Fanny. She was the Empress's confidante and had a position of great power. Zack would no
