Chapter 398 : Man or Demon

Ning Xuemo pushed Ji Yunhuang forward with big strides. In her heart, she secretly sighed with relief. It looks like she made the right move! She finally had some hope of escaping!

Just as she was somewhat relieved, the green-clothed silhouette in front of her shimmered. She still had not reacted when all of a sudden, her wrist started to go numb! The sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Immediately, her waist became numb as well. Finally, her entire body was numb so that she could not move a muscle.

”Your Majesty, please leave!” a voice shouted from the mass of Imperial bodyguards. Two bodyguards jumped out and pulled Ji Yunhuang away from Ning Xuemo, protecting him.

Ji Yunhuang's hand clenched. At this time, he could not point the sword at himself and make himself a hostage. Therefore, he could only stand there and endure, watching calmly as the scene unfolded.

Huge masses of Imperial bodyguards surrounded Ning Xuemo with their swords drawn, creating a mountain of swords around her. If she moved even the slightest bit, then the swords would fly and she would be cut into pieces!

Ning Xuemo had no way of moving. Her body was unable to even twitch and only her eyes and neck could move. Right now, her eyes were only looking at one person.

That person was currently standing in the doorway of the great hall, blocking her only route of escape. Did she really have some great enmity with this person? Why did he always try to scheme against her, a little girl?!

Once Emperor Le Xuan saw this person, his eyes shone, ”Master Han!”

That person was exactly Han Shanyue. As before, his face was still hidden and clouded over so that the crowd could not see it clearly. They could only see the dancing smoke coming from his blue-green clothes.

He nodded his head slightly.

”Master Han, did you capture the red-clothed guqin playing murder?” Emperor Le Xuan asked.
