Emperor Yanyue hurriedly replied, "It's the Daxia Dynasty."
The Life-saving Empress sneered, "An empire no one has ever heard of, able to snatch someone from under your nose, and you have no way to deal with them?"
Emperor Yanyue, looking flustered, said, "Please forgive me, Palace Master; that empire seems to have a powerful formation guarding it. I've tried my best, yet I can't break that formation."
At this moment, Emperor Xuanming added insult to injury, "Yanyue, incompetence is incompetence. What excuses are you trying to make here?"
Hearing these words, Emperor Yanyue wanted to retort but thought better of it, recalling how he failed to protect the Saintess. Saying something now might only provoke the Life-saving Empress further, so he held back.
The Life-saving Empress did not flare up further due to Emperor Xuanming's provocation. With a solemn expression, she asked, "Oh? Even you cannot break that empire's formation even with all your might?"
