The Destiny of Love in Ancient Times
Earthquake Shakes the Quentian State

IN THE MOMENT when Gu Wei was trying to destroy the sealing totem circle, Han Baimo had already taken out an old scroll. When the old scroll was opened, Han Baimo bit his finger and dripped blood onto the contents of the scroll.

Seeing this, Gu Wei actually had an even greater premonition. The sealing totem circle gave off a stronger light. This time, the sealing totem circle took out some spiritual tendrils that instantly ensnared Gu Wei's body.

"Gu Wei, you have killed many people all this time. It has even defied destiny and the gods. This time, I want heaven and earth to punish you forever, never to be reborn into this world," Han Baimo said.

As the sealing totem circle ensnared Gu Wei, a gust of wind engendered by spiritual energy gushed in the place.

Suddenly the sky was dark cloudy, forming a vortex above the sealing totem circle. Shortly after, a light emerged from the vortex of clouds and shot right towards the totem it was in.

Gu Wei could not dodge the moment the light hit the totem. He screamed in pain and felt like he was being burned by a blazing fire.

The gust of wind in the place became slightly hot, especially after the light from the vortex of clouds hit the sealing totem circle.

Even the state of Quentian was rocked by an earthquake large enough that some buildings suffered severe damage. The Imperial Palace also did not escape the damage. There were many buildings especially the courtyard of the concubine palace that collapsed.

The disaster was more terrible than any of the previous undead.

The residents panicked, scattering out of the house while picking up some items that could be saved. The cries of fear and the cries of young children echoed, making the atmosphere more alarming.

No one expected such a disaster.

The ground cracked, the trees collapsed and the river water suddenly overflowed and swept away part of the land. Although not high, but residents are already worried if the earthquake disaster is a sign of the gods who are angry.

They did not see the light passageway that appeared in the sky because before, Hyou and Chou had created a barrier array to protect the place.

In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Gu was protected by the imperial guards heading to a safer place. Empress Xue as well as the other concubines also gathered on the other side to avoid the collapsed building.

However, the cracked ground under their feet became another worry. What if the crack gets wider?

The princes were busy helping with the evacuation. But the timing may not be enough.

"How can there be a sudden shock? Did something happen to them?" An Daiyu looked worried.

"I don't know. The eclipse is almost over. Nothing should have happened. According to the eleventh brother, if they failed then Gu Wei would invade this country. But there are no signs yet, they should be fine," Gu Huiling replied.

Even the eldest prince—Gu Zhaoxin also had the same thoughts as his sister.

They accidentally cross paths with the two secret guards Qing Mao—Dong Mei and Fan Chen.

"You're not with Qing Mao?" ask An Daiyu.

But before An Daiyu told, two dark guards Gu Yihao also suddenly appeared.

"The two of you can't leave or it will only be an obstacle for the king and miss Qing," Xu Ren said. His twin, Xu Ran also nodded.

"But we can't let miss in danger—"

"It's destiny!" Xu Ran swooped it up. "You better help us evacuate a lot of people to a safe place and make sure there's not a lot of casualties. Believe me, they'll be fine," he added.

Dong Mei and Fan Chen glanced at each other. Both of them were slightly dizzy as the ground was unceasingly shaking.

Only then did the two realize that Xu Ran shouldered an old man on his shoulders.

"Who is he?" ask Dong Mei.

"Oh, this is Doctor Piao. Our king's personal physician. He was screaming when the shaking happened so we knocked him unconscious" he replied.

"..." - ".So pathetic? Think of the two secret guards Qing Mao.

They separated and carried out their respective duties, trying to suppress the worry of their respective masters.

An Daiyu as well as the other princes did not remain silent either.

"I hope the couple is fine," he muttered as he thought of Gu Yihao and Qing Mao. Then he remembered Princess Lailan at home. Princess Lailan is pregnant at the moment. He hopes his wife is okay too.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

While at Qing Mao's place.

Around the sealing totem circle, the ground cracked even more severely. The pressure of the spiritual energy from the circle made them not dare to approach.

Qing Mao was even a little pale.

The green jade ring in his hand was suddenly removed by Hyou.

Qing Mao was confused. The green jade ring all this time could not escape from his finger. But now Hyou released her herself.

"Why did you take off the ring?" he asked with a confused expression.
