Two hours later...
Suddenly!
In an instant, Fang Heng opened his eyes wide.
Sirius was staring intently at Fang Heng.
Had he succeeded?
The Empress's will!
"Whoosh!!!"
In the next moment, Sirius realized that his neck was firmly gripped by Fang Heng.
Fang Heng coldly glared at Sirius and said in a low voice, "Sirius, are you trying to fool me?"
Sirius's face turned deathly pale, as if struck by a heavy blow. Looking at Fang Heng, his face immediately showed extreme fear.
What was going on?
Why hadn't the Empress's will managed to purge Fang Heng's will?
Why hadn't it even merged with his?
"You... How did you...?"
Nearby, Kotal and Rio were both startled by Fang Heng's actions. They cautiously looked toward him.
Fang Heng noticed their gazes, then turned his cold stare back at Sirius and said, "For betraying the Empress, your soul will be obliterated here and now."
