As the lion roared, all the soldiers that had rushed at Ji Fengyan turned pale.
They had never seen anything so unbelievable in their lives.
"Go away, you incompetent underlings. I am not in the mood to waste time with you." Ji Fengyan blandly glanced at the group of soldiers and ordered the stone lions which had come alive to remain and "play" with them.
She continued to walk towards the palace.
On the way, Ji Fengyan lifted her hand and a beam of miraculously transformative vital energy swept past. Within the palace, the lifelike statues of birds and beasts were instantly brought to life. One by one, they stepped down from their stone pedestals and followed Ji Fengyan.
The Emperor enjoyed decorating the palace, and as Ji Fengyan continued on her way, the troop behind her grew larger and larger.
Copper eagles that soared over the horizon, awe-inspiring marble tigers—one by one, the statues came to life and landed on the ground, continually adding to Ji Fengyan's troop.
Every time palace guards tried to stop her, Ji Fengyan did not even need to lift a finger. The statues pounced on them and instantly tore them into pieces.
Their sharp weapons could not harm the stone and copper beasts. The dignified royal guards were so badly defeated that they were left crying.
Everything in heaven and on earth had spirituality. Even stones that have existed for many years were imbued with spirituality. So all Ji Fengyan had to do was use her own vital energy and stimulate the spirituality to erupt.
This was the power of the immortal cultivator!
In the grand hall of the palace, the Emperor sat on the throne, holding a discussion with the Eldest Princess on how to deal with Ji Fengyan.
"Royal Father, Ji Fengyan is very cunning. As long as she lives, she will be a threat. It is better to get rid of her early and get back her World-Termination-Armour seal." The Eldest Princess was eager to see what Ji Fengyan looked like when her head and her body were separated.
The Emperor nodded slightly, his tone deliberately regretful.
"What a pity. If only such a capable person could be more law abiding, she could provide our Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon with additional strength. Ai… forget it. Let someone end it today. Remember to send her armor seal back to Ming Workshop."
The Emperor pretended to be regretful, but when he sentenced her to death, he neither vacillated nor hesitated.
It was as if Ji Fengyan had brought all this upon herself.
"My Royal Father is magnanimous. It is Ji Fengyan who did not appreciate your kindness." The Eldest Princess laughed coldly as she spoke.
The Emperor waved his hand. "What a pity. It takes a long time to train a Terminator. A pity that ten over years have been wasted."
Just as the Emperor raised his pen to write Ji Fengyan's death warrant, an ashen guard scrambled into the grand hall.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Bad news! Ji Fengyan… Ji Fengyan has escaped from the dungeon!"
The Emperor's expression froze and he indignantly put down his brush and stood up.
"What! What are you doing! She was already imprisoned, how could you let her escape! Hurry and recapture her! Whatever you do, don't allow her to escape from the capital city!"
Just as the Emperor had finished speaking, a huge shadow was suddenly cast on the guard's head.
Before the guard could react, an enormous stone elephant's foot had crushed him into meat paste!
The Emperor and the Eldest Princess heard a roaring noise. They raised their eyes in disbelief and suddenly saw…
Ji Fengyan seated on the back of a stone elephant, looking at them with a smile.
"Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere until we settle this."
