2025-05-20 16:54:37"Li Jie...!" Jian Ying screamed loudly. Her steps quickened as she saw how weak the young man looked.
Jian Ying knelt beside Li Jie and felt his wrist, searching for a pulse. Her brow furrowed deeply—his life signs were extremely faint.
The beautiful girl tried channeling her inner energy to strengthen Li Jie’s heartbeat. But what she hoped for didn’t happen. Instead, she felt her energy being rejected by his body.
In his mind, Li Jie saw visions of his parents and his wife holding their infant son—himself—calling out to him with words of encouragement.
“Wake up, my husband... It’s not your time to follow us yet! You still have an important mission to fulfill. Free this world from the dominion of the Demons,” said Mei Lian, placing the child version of Li Jie near her husband's limp body.
“My son, Li Jie... Rise quickly. The hopes of this world rest solely on your shoulders. You al

Liberation Process
A soldier rushed in and knelt before the two men. "Report, Your Highness. This location has been discovered by that young man. I received the information from a trusted source.""How could that be?" Commander Wei Zi thought.Prime Minister Yu Long quickly responded. He ordered the loyal soldiers under his command to intercept Li Jie and the others if they approached Wong Fei's residence."How did he find out?" Commander Wei Zi's heart pounded. The fear that his plan to seize control of the Tong Dynasty would be ruined overwhelmed his thoughts."I don’t know either, Your Highness," Yu Long replied."Could someone from our side have betrayed us?" Commander Wei Zi asked again."I don’t think that’s possible, Your Highness. All of our men passed strict loyalty tests. No one would dare betray us!" Yu Long clearly didn’t want to be blamed for the breach. Commander Wei Zi's questioning seemed to corner him."Then what
A Great Surprise
The farther they searched, the less trace they found of Commander Wei Zi, nor of the group of bandits who had ambushed them.Yung Yin began to suspect that Commander Wei Zi might have been killed or taken by the bandits.“So, what should we do now? Keep searching or something else?” Yung Yin asked.“Don’t you sense something strange?” Li Jie asked in return.Yung Yin shook his head slowly. “I guess it’s possible they ran away after seeing us slaughter their companions,” he replied.“In that case, let’s just return to the palace now,” said Li Jie.“All right,” answered Yung Yin.They then spurred their horses toward the Tong Dynasty palace.By dawn, they finally arrived at the palace. Li Jie and Yung Yin chose to rest in their own chambers before meeting with Queen Yue Qi.Even though his body lay flat on the bed, Li Jie still couldn’t fall asleep, despite being overwhelmingly drowsy. He tried
An Ambush in the Forest
"Commander Wei Zi was right. But it wouldn't hurt to also search the palace thoroughly for His Majesty’s whereabouts. If he's not in the palace, then I have no idea where else to look for him," replied Li Jie, his eyes glancing at a wooden chair left in the corner of the room."Very well. Once we arrive at the palace, we’ll deploy the soldiers to look for His Majesty. For now, let’s return!" responded Commander Wei Zi."But, Sir… it’s already late in the afternoon. If we insist on returning now, we’ll be deep in the forest by nightfall. Wouldn’t it be better if we stayed here for the night and returned in the morning?" asked Yung Yin.Commander Wei Zi slowly shook his head. "His Majesty and Her Majesty’s safety is my highest priority. If we go back tomorrow morning, we won’t reach the palace until midday. And we have no idea what could happen at the palace while we’re away.""Commander Wei Zi is right, Yung Yin. We should head back now rather than wait until morning," interjected Bayu
Change of Plan
The Queen paused in thought. Everyone in the room stayed silent, allowing the elegant woman to find her answer.After nearly ten minutes, Queen Yue Qi finally identified two possible places."There are two places that might fit your theory, Li Jie. First, a palace built by my husband to honor his deceased parents. The second is within this very palace," Queen Yue Qi said, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.Li Jie's mind worked quickly upon hearing her answer. "Your Majesty mentioned the palace because it is sacred to His Majesty, leading you to suspect he might be hidden there."The Queen nodded in agreement and provided directions to the palace in question."Very well. Since it is already late, I, Yung Yin, and Wei Zi will depart tomorrow morning. If His Majesty is truly hidden in that palace, our task will simply be to uncover the culprit—and that will be easy because His Majesty surely knows who orchestrated this abduction," Li
Change of Plan
Without their knowledge, Li Jie had once again infiltrated the grand residence. He lay flat, ensuring no one would notice him, with one ear pressed against the roof.He continued to wait for more crucial information to come from their mouths.Not long after, eight soldiers who had just returned from inspecting the rooms of Yung Yin and Li Jie at the palace were already present at Du Hao's residence."So? Did you get good results?" asked Prime Minister Tan Bo."Apologies, Prime Minister. They were both in their respective rooms," replied one of the soldiers.Prime Minister Tan Bo sighed heavily, stroking his white beard slowly. His mind wandered, full of questions about who the infiltrator could be if Li Jie and Yung Yin were each in their rooms."What is the current condition of Emperor Huang Jia, Prime Minister?" Du Hao suddenly asked.Li Jie, who was lying on the grand residence's roof, felt his heart pound, eager
Betrayal 2
The Next Morning…After bathing and dressing in his soldier’s uniform, Li Jie left his room and headed to Han Zifeng’s quarters.Coincidentally, Han Zifeng was walking in the opposite direction.“Li Jie, I need to talk to you,” Han Zifeng said.“Me too, but let’s talk tonight. I’ll come to your room. I’m going to look around for now,” Li Jie replied.Han Zifeng nodded and walked away. He knew talking too long with Li Jie could arouse suspicion.After Han Zifeng left, Li Jie continued walking, his sharp eyes scanning every potentially suspicious area.Two soldiers followed him from a distance, their eyes never leaving him.Li Jie was fully aware he was being tailed. In fact, he deliberately led them on, hoping they would eventually reveal who had ordered them to follow him.Smiling inwardly, Li Jie quickened his pace and turned a corner, disappearing from their view.The soldiers panic
