It was unclear who sensed it first, but both Anji and Hong Nian Niang reacted at the same time. Although it was not the right moment to be admiring the Vermillion Bird's Blood Arts, Anji could not help but stare at her godmother's fiery inner arts as they grew like wildfire and enveloped the entire Red Palace. She could only wonder how much blood Hong Nian Niang spent to soak the Red Palace for this very moment. However, she did not fall behind and activated the spell she had been working on for a while now.
BOOM!
The Red Palace shook. Even with metal beams hidden beneath the wooden exterior, it swayed slightly. Just how strong was the attack? How did they breach the barrier of the four guardians in Chang'an?
After the first wave, Hong Nian Niang collected herself and checked on Anji. The girl seemed fine, so she beckoned for her to follow.
