Chapter 43 Plain Cloud Realm Flag

Outside the Divine Capital, Dao Light pierced through the sky, and there had even been a clash between fourth-ranks, but inside the Imperial Palace, everything was as usual.

The eunuchs and palace maids carried out their duties dutifully, the guards meticulously stood at their posts, and within the Imperial City, there was peace—a realm seemingly detached from the world outside.

And then, suddenly—

"Boom!"

A thunderclap exploded in the air, a bolt of purple lightning struck down, hitting the depths of the Imperial City and shattering the peaceful and one could say solemn atmosphere.

"Protect the Emperor!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

"The lightning has struck the Xuanyuan Platform! His Majesty is at the Xuanyuan Platform!"

The court instantly erupted into noise; a large number of Imperial Guards rushed toward the site of the lightning, and awe-inspiring Qi Mechanisms appeared throughout the Imperial City, sweeping through the clouds and winds.
