In an instant, the entire Huaxu Square was completely razed to the ground.
Outside, it was complete chaos.
The Shadow Guard and Xuan Mei tried to charge inside without a second thought, but Cao Jin blocked their path.
"There's miasma inside!"
The Shadow Guard was frantic. "I don't give a damn about any miasma! My master is in there!"
"And the Princess Consort!" Xuan Mei's expression was just as grim.
But Cao Jin adamantly blocked them from entering. "The imperial guard has taken control of this area."
The Shadow Guard exploded in fury. "Is this any time to be spouting rules? If anything happens to our master, I'll wipe out your entire imperial guard!"
Though Xuan Mei didn't start cursing like the Shadow Guard, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Cao Jin glanced at the two of them. "If something truly happens to Prince Qing, it would be better to have people left to avenge him than to hand our enemies an advantage."
