Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2361



Approximately an hour later, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton finally made it to the top of the stairs, where they connected to a white, palace-like structure.

When they ventured further up, they saw an ancient city gateway with the words 'Southern Sky Entrance' written on it.

Dense mist surrounded the city walls, making the place look like paradise.

Through the mist, they could see soldiers in armors patrolling everywhere.

The entire setting reminded them of heavenly palaces they had seen in television dramas.

However, they couldn't see anything else when they peeked further down.

There was nothing but white mist beneath them.

There were two guards by the city gateway who hastily approached them when they came into sight.

"Who are you?" they asked simultaneously.

"Where is this place?" Xyla asked in return.

"This is the heavenly palace, of course," one guard replied haughtily.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She and Stanley were at the heavenly palace?

It turned out that the heavenly palace in reality was not too different from the ones depicted in television dramas.

At that moment, she had great admiration for authors and scriptwriters for their fantastic imagination.

"What are you doing here?" the other guard asked.

She shook her head. "I don't know why I'm here. I also don't know how I ended up here. An unknown force led me here."

Hearing her explanation, the two guards looked at each other in confusion.

Right then, a masculine ethereal voice boomed across the sky.

"Bring them to me."

Their surroundings quaked and shook in its wake.

Xyla peered around anxiously, but she didn't see anyone.

She didn't even know to whom this voice belonged.

"Who was that?" she questioned the guards, who ignored her.

Instead, they sank to their knees on the ground as a sign of respect. "Affirmative," they announced in unison before they gradually straightened up to address Xyla and Stanley.

"How do you know the emperor?" one of them asked.

Did that mean that the ethereal voice belonged to the emperor? Did the emperor send that unseen force that led them here?

Why would the emperor help them?

She had too many questions that needed answers on her mind.

Stanley shared her thoughts as they exchanged glances.

"Why would the emperor help us?" she wondered.

"I don't know. We'll find out once we go inside," he replied.

She nodded before allowing the guards to lead them through the gateway wordlessly.

This mist had already made its way to the interiors of the heavenly palace.
