Chapter 1218: The Shocked Faces

Chapter 1218: The Shocked Faces

It seems the opponent came with a purpose. Being able to traverse the Royal Palace freely while dressed in a white robe definitely indicates an extraordinary background.

Moreover, as he moved about the palace, the patrolling soldiers remained completely oblivious to his presence; all they could see was Lin Nuo, disheveled, darting around the palace.

Everyone knew that both he and Luo Xiaoxue were married—it’s just a step away from throwing a grand feast to celebrate nationwide. Now Lin Nuo ran into Luo Xiaoxue’s bedroom and then jumped out of the window in disarray. Who knows what happened?

Could it be that the Supreme Emperor was too much for him, and his physical body couldn’t withstand it? Now he’s making a run for it?

Now that would be some hot gossip.

Lin Nuo chased after the suspicious individual with explosive speed using his Wind Technique, quickly catching up.

Where do you think you’re running to!?

He charged in, ready to secure a grip on his throat to make him surrender on the spot.

But the opponent reacted swiftly; upon seeing Lin Nuo charging in, he dodged just in time, almost getting caught.

However, Lin Nuo wasn’t easy prey either. He was well-versed in rapid melee combat and unleashed a flurry of punches with a technique called “Olamu Da,” leaving spectators dizzy from his speed.

The opponent struggled to match Lin Nuo for more than two exchanges, and by the third, he was thoroughly worn out, trapped by Lin Nuo, leaving him no escape.

Lin Nuo thought to quickly remove the opponent’s mask to see who he really was, but suddenly, the opponent’s body emitted a flash of golden light, akin to the might of the Great威天龙, a powerful energy surged forth.

Lin Nuo didn’t expect this trick, so to avoid injury, he swiftly retreated to dodge the emerging golden shockwave.

Though not as powerful as Luo Xiaoxue’s ability, it was still formidable, especially since this thing had the capability to counter demons. Who knows what hidden dangers lay within? Heaven forbid he ended up with some sort of aftereffects!

Better play it safe.

Others in the palace still couldn’t see the true form of this suspicious man. To them, it appeared Lin Nuo was just practicing his punches by himself.

Of course, Lin Nuo, being the social butterfly he is, didn’t care a whit about others’ opinions.

The opponent tried to seize the chance to escape, but Lin Nuo wouldn’t let him. Since he was here, he had no intention of letting him run away.

Lin Nuo pressed in again, exchanging blows while the opponent emitted bursts of golden light reminiscent of the Great威天龙. Lin Nuo remained cautious, not getting too close.

Sword array, lock him down!

Soon enough, he brandished his sword, transforming it into a multitude of swords that formed a sword array, trapping the suspicious individual.

But it didn’t hold for long; the golden light within the opponent burst out, breaking Lin Nuo’s sword formation.

This guy has some skills!

If he could break free, he would just trap him again—let’s see who wears whom down first!

Lin Nuo continued to wield his sword, forming another array to confine the mysterious figure, while the opponent consistently used his golden light to break the array. They were locked in a back-and-forth, with Lin Nuo imprisoning and the opponent breaking free, while the soldiers watched, terrified, and scrambled to avoid being caught in the chaos.

Mainly, the tug-of-war didn’t consume much until Luo Xiaoxue arrived.

Seeing the opponent clearly for the first time, Luo Xiaoxue ordered everyone else to quickly retreat to avoid innocent bystanders getting caught in the crossfire.

Of course, they didn’t need much persuasion; no one wanted to be near Lin Nuo’s sword array, fearing they might end up in serious trouble.

“Do you recognize this guy? He’s wearing a mask, hiding his face.”

Lin Nuo pointed at the suspicious individual, his sword array not missing a beat; he had to keep up the pressure to prevent that guy from escaping.

“Could he be someone from the Sacred Realm?”

Luo Xiaoxue speculated as she rushed in to help.

“He can break your formation,” Lin Nuo replied.

“If I were there, I could manage too. He seems to have abilities similar to yours. I’m only worried he poses a threat to me, so I want to secure him.”

“I’ll give you a hand,” Luo Xiaoxue said, recognizing she couldn’t just watching; they were a duo after all, and it was time to subdue the opponent and demand answers.

If he shared her powers, they might try violence with violence.

But if he had the upper hand, she would have to take a step back.

Now she charged ahead of the suspicious individual, still masked, and she couldn’t recognize his identity either.

At this point, Luo Xiaoxue could gradually harness her abilities, trying to amplify her power with the golden light to eliminate the opponent.

Lin Nuo’s sword array was broken again, but he didn’t press forward, curious about Luo Xiaoxue’s intentions.

Still, his sword was prepped. If Luo Xiaoxue couldn’t hold her ground, he would swoop in to trap the opponent again.

Luo Xiaoxue kept a calm demeanor, took a deep breath, and began to radiate golden light.

Soon, she exhaled forcefully, sending a blinding beam of golden light straight at the suspicious person, who staggered back, unable to withstand it.

Indeed, using violence to counter violence was effective; in terms of the Great威天龙 ability, Luo Xiaoxue had him beat!

The defensive system of the suspicious figure seemed to collapse under Luo Xiaoxue’s attack, and Lin Nuo seized the opportunity to rush in and pin him down. He could no longer use that move to repel Lin Nuo.

“Still moving? Going to use that useless trick again?”

Lin Nuo pressed down on the man, barking at him. The opponent didn’t respond initially, resisting a little, but eventually gave up altogether.

“Who are you? What’s your purpose for coming here?!”

Luo Xiaoxue squatted down to interrogate him, smoothly removing his mask.

Let’s see who you are, daring to cause trouble in the Royal Palace!

However, when she took off the mask, the sight in front of her shocked her to her very core; she could hardly believe her eyes.

The person before her was none other than her father!

This was impossible! She had spent ample time with him, and she knew him well enough to recognize him. How could he possess such power?

He must have ulterior motives, transforming into her father’s likeness to deceive her!

Yes, that’s definitely it!

“Who are you? Why are you disguised as my father?! What are you plotting?! Don’t think you can trick me like this!”

Luo Xiaoxue shouted in anger to the soldiers watching from the sidelines,

“You all, get my father here now!”

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

These clueless soldiers were still in the dark, unable to see the mysterious figure, witnessing merely what seemed a bizarre workout between Lin Nuo and Luo Xiaoxue. They had no idea what was truly going on.

Could it be that the two of them had an intense workout after sharing a bed?

The suspicious man didn’t reply, and Luo Xiaoxue waited for her father to arrive, eager to reveal what tricks he might be hiding.

“Report! Report! Your Majesty! The Taishang Huang… he… he is missing, we can’t find him…”

“Can’t find him? Have you searched thoroughly?”

“Checked everywhere, we can’t find him…”

The soldier answered weakly, not even the Empress Dowager knew where he had gone.

“Xiaoxue, don’t bother looking,”

At that moment, the person pinned down by Lin Nuo finally spoke.
