Panic surged through Ling's heart as she realized that the Heavenly Emperor was already dead, the restrictions lifted, allowing Zhao Ling, who had transformed into a black dragon, to break free.
Her mind raced with fear, utterly panicked. If she were captured by Zhao Ling, her cruel methods were notoriously well-known. Li Ruyun, who had once followed her closely, had suffered a truly miserable fate.
Ling hurriedly turned to flee. With her face, penetrating the lower-level security forces should be no problem.
She shouted, "Someone, help!! Assassin!!" and dashed out of the reception room, running down the corridor.
By then, the black dragon had already alerted the entire security force of Lingxiao Palace. She vaulted over the railing, plunging into the glass dome garden's pool, wading through the water toward the stairs on the opposite side.
