RUMBLE...
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed out of thin air, followed by a deafening thunderclap.
The clear blue sky from moments ago was suddenly beset by a fierce wind, whipping up dust on the mountaintop. Thick dark clouds, like an advancing army of thousands, bore down, instantly blanketing half the sky and plunging everything into near darkness.
The celestial anomaly struck fear into people's hearts. The officials stared at Xiao Yunjing and Gu Qingli in terror, not daring to move in the raging wind. Everyone wondered: Could it be that the heavens do not want these two to become Emperor and Empress?
Even Master Jueliao gazed at the sky, lost in thought.
These two are clearly the Emperor Star and Phoenix Star, he mused. If this celestial phenomenon isn't caused by them, then it must be due to...that...
Thinking of this, Jueliao glanced at Gu Qingli, and what he saw startled him. This is bad! he thought.
