The Rise of the Empress II
Everyone was waiting for him to cross the circle as they didn't want to believe they were ruled by a faked emperor. They became impatient as some gritted their teeth while others tapped their feet on the floor as they waited for the Emperor to prove himself.
The Emperor clenched his jaw. The circle could kill him if the worst came to the worst, and he did not need to carry the humiliation. He raised his feet to step into the circle but was suddenly covered with a crimson liquid that emerged from the floor the moment he entered it. The liquid entered his nose, ears and mouth. He could not even scream as his body jolted like he was being choked.
Peoples watched the Emperor in horror. He couldn't breathe or move. He could only go through the excruciating pain as they watched. The Emperor soon realized he was wrong. He didn't want to die, especially in such a manner. His fingers tried to reach for Ming Yue Yin asking for help.
