Ruins of the Empress's Palace.
"Empress, I didn't expect even the shadow demon guards to be forced into revealing themselves."
A burly man in purple with short purple hair shot over from afar, landing lightly at the edge of the palace ruins.
"Master Wang Yong, I didn't expect you to arrive first," the Empress said calmly, floating in midair.
"Who else did you expect, Your Highness?" The purple-haired man chuckled. "Bai Zhuo, maybe?"
"The invader is dead, Master Bai Zhuo's life flame remains unextinguished, he is likely temporarily trapped.
But the initial instigators have been dealt with, so why hasn't the Master freed himself from confinement?"
The Empress was puzzled.
"Clean up a bit, maybe we'll find some clues from this invader," Wang Yong whispered.
Crack...
As the Empress was about to speak, she suddenly heard a faint sound coming from a deep pit.
She frowned, turning to closely watch the bottom of the enormous pit.
