The guests who had been "asked to leave" the hall were now in a side hall of the Royal Mansion.
The deafening explosion was only a wall away. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, seemingly sealing off the starry heavens.
The Shu King had already been escorted away. At the sound of the explosion, the Yongling Temple Monk, the Annam Monk, and the Wude Army Guards stationed in the side hall all changed their expressions and rushed towards the main hall.
Only those with pale faces were left behind, looking at each other in dismay.

Song Shuqing paid no attention to others; he swiftly walked to the courtyard wall, took out a brush from within his robes, and painted a crude door on the wall.
