In an instant, the guards unsheathed their swords and moved to strike the woman down but Ming Yue was quick.
Bringing the old woman close to her, she spun around using her as a shield.
Every sword that came close stopped at the last moment as the guards didn't want to risk harming their master.
"Ugh, you! Do you think this will end well?! Taking the queen of the entire nation as your captive?" the old woman warned.
She tried to release herself from Ming Yue's grasp but couldn't as the cultivator held her tightly, using whatever strength she could muster.
"Where are my weapons?! Show me where they are!"
The cultivator demanded this while keeping a hand on the old queen's neck. Her fingers slowly dug into the flesh, not enough to make the old woman bleed but enough to shut her mouth.
