Qi Tian couldn't possibly let the chief culprit escape smoothly. He aimed at the Emperor's back and threw the Yonghe Stick in his hand.
The Emperor hurriedly dodged, but he was slightly slow and couldn't avoid it completely. The stick struck his shoulder hard, and the Emperor fell to the ground, tumbling over like a rolling gourd. After several rolls, he got up from the ground and started fleeing like a frightened rabbit.
At that moment, the illusion that had been surrounding Qi Tian suddenly vanished, and Qi Tian found himself standing back in the Inner Underground Palace. His eyes caught a black glimmer speeding towards a wall.
This scene made Qi Tian realize something had gone wrong.
