The Empress’s face changed wildly, and she finally gritted her teeth, intending to rush forward.
Though she knew that saving Xue An, who was already locked by the sword momentum, was unlikely, she couldn’t just watch a Hua Clan youth die before her eyes.
But at that moment, a soft shout suddenly came from the long-silent inn.
"Husband, catch this!"
As the voice rang out, the entire scene was shaken.
Now, let us rewind time for a few minutes.
Inside the inn, An Yan, Ao Shu, Lou Yingshi, and Cha Wenliang were watching the battle in the sky with great intensity.
When Xue An gained the upper hand, they relaxed a bit, but once the tide turned, their hearts leapt to their throats.
Among them, An Yan was the most worried.
Though she had braved countless storms with Xue An, forging her nerves to an unimaginable resilience.
Yet this situation was utterly different from before.
Even An Yan, who barely understood Sword Dao, could see that Shen Gaoge was an extremely troublesome opponent.
Thus, her heart tightened into a knot.
It wasn’t until Xue An incinerated the Rainkill Sword in Shen Gaoge’s hand with flames that she let out a sigh of relief, thinking the battle was finally over.
After all, how could a swordsman fight without a sword?
Yet, unexpectedly, Shen Gaoge was so obstinate.
He broke off one of his ribs to use as a sword and fought Xue An again.
This time, the battlefield shifted dramatically, and Xue An fell completely into a disadvantage, being pushed back repeatedly by Shen Gaoge.
Upon seeing this, An Yan couldn’t stand still any longer.
"I cannot, I must save my husband!"
Saying this, she was about to leap into action.
But at this moment, Cha Wenliang blocked her.
"Lady Xue, you must not act rashly; with your strength, going up there is suicide!"
"Then what am I supposed to do? Just stand here watching my husband get beaten?"
At this moment, An Yan became extremely irritable and roared.
Cha Wenliang’s face was serious, "But you cannot go out. Before leaving, Xue An made it clear that I should look after all of you, and I believe Xue An won’t be defeated so easily!"
Yet An Yan paid no heed to this, nearly rampaging as she roared, "Move aside, it’s not your husband out there, you wouldn’t know the pain!"
And not just her; Ao Shu was eager as well, wanting to save Brother An.
Cha Wenliang was anxious, but just then.
Lou Yingshi suddenly pointed to a nearby room, "Look quickly, what’s happening there?"
The others turned to look.
But saw the window of that room suddenly start glowing with golden light, and a majestic aura surged out from that room.
Everyone shuddered.
"What’s going on? Who’s in that room?" Cha Wenliang couldn’t help but ask.
An Yan suddenly remembered something, "It’s Xiao Gourd! She’s asleep in that room."
As soon as she said this, an extraordinary sight appeared.
The walls of the room suddenly became transparent, revealing Xiao Gourd who had been asleep on the bed.
Only now, she was floating in mid-air, seated cross-legged with closed eyes, and a beam of golden light shone from her brow, the same light that had illuminated the window.
"What’s happening?" Ao Shu couldn’t help but exclaim.
