Chapter 221: Empress Dowager: You're Not as Impressive as Me!_1

Jade Lake spans thousands of acres, its azure waves gently undulating.

Gusts of autumn wind swept down from the heavens, brushing the surface of the lake, stirring up ripples upon ripples.

Atop the imperial pleasure barge!

The Empress, dressed in her palace attire, was expressionless, her brow marked with a spot of cinnabar, her cold eyes sharp as blades.

She was waiting for the arrival of the Demon Lord.

And at this moment...

Splash!

As the lake waters flowed, another pleasure barge reached their location. The Empress's face abruptly changed, a majestic aura emanating from her being, enveloping the approaching barge.

She was the great ruler of the Tang Empire, her word was as heavy as nine tripods, no one dared to defy her.

Just moments ago, she had ordered everyone to leave, yet a barge dared to drift in her direction, a challenge to her, the greatest of challenges.

Slap!

With a flick of her sleeve, she produced a crisp sound.

Like thunder rolling across the sky.
