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.
