Sword God Comes Out of Seclusion, Jade Token Message

The black-robed man appeared out of thin air. Although his face could not be seen clearly, the majestic sword intent lingering around him made his identity obvious.

The civil and military officials immediately bowed. "Welcome, Sword God!"

When the empress heard this, an imperceptible smile flashed across her eyes. Then, she ordered with a dignified expression, "I have something to discuss with Sword God. Everyone, leave first!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials left the hall. The empress waved her hand and dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs around her. In the huge palace, only the empress and the "Ten Mile Sword God" were left.

"Phew! I'm really suffocating!"

Lin Ran took off his mask and took a long breath. Then, he smiled and cupped his hands at the empress. "I'm the commander of the imperial guards. My greetings, Your Majesty!"

"No need for formalities!"
