Preparing Everyone

In the palace...

Men wearing black robes while their faces covered as well with black cloth are standing around Gao Lan Mei's magical circle.

They act as her guard while their spiritual energy gradually rises. Slow until it burst as they increase on ranks and that happened not only ones but multiple times to everyone that is around Gao Lan Mei!

It did not stop from there as their ranks continue to rise further and it will not stop until they reach the rank that their body can stand at the same time as long as Gao Lan Mei continued to absorb the dark smoke.

"This..." Yen Mingjue uttered with disbelief as he stared at the way Gao Lan Mei is channeling her absorb impurities, converting it to spiritual energy that boosts the men to increase ranks.

He is the only one left to watch over Gao Lan Mei while the others are being treated for injury before finally escaping. There is really nothing much the rest can do.
