She knew that without her Ability and relying solely on her limited Power, it would be very difficult to escape. Moreover, if Murong Shang found out that her memory had partially recovered, it would be troublesome.
So, she chose to wait for Dongfang Hao and the others to rescue her.
The next day, as dawn broke, Murong Shang arrived with many maids to dress Luo Bingbing. However, after bringing them in, he only greeted Luo Bingbing before leaving immediately.
Luo Bingbing was naturally pleased with his departure, but she despised the wedding dress and phoenix crown in front of her, along with the maids beside her.
Even though she had a hundred unwilling thoughts in her heart, she felt powerless at the moment. Without the memory of her Ability and with only fifty or sixty years of Power left, she had no choice but to endure and go along with them.
At that moment, she truly felt very pathetic; having lived two lifetimes, she had never felt this helpless before.
Thus, she couldn't help but vow in her heart that if she managed to escape, she would take revenge and completely destroy the Golden Sun Kingdom.
After the maids dressed Luo Bingbing in the phoenix robe and adorned her with the crown, they exited the room.
At this time, Dongfang Hao and the others were nearing Jincheng. Although people from the Golden Sun Kingdom had already discovered them and some had sent messages to Murong Shang, the speed of the phoenix was incomparable to that of ordinary birds.
Therefore, the outcome was predictable.
When the auspicious hour arrived, Luo Bingbing was led by the maids into the main hall where Murong Shang was waiting. Upon seeing Luo Bingbing arrive, he immediately walked over.
As they were about to bow to each other in marriage and Dongfang Hao's group had not yet arrived, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but feel anxious. She thought to herself, "If they don't show up in a few minutes, I'll find a chance to break out myself."
When the officiant loudly called for "Bow to Heaven and Earth," Murong Shang immediately knelt down. However, Luo Bingbing stood there motionless without any reaction as if she hadn't heard anything at all.
Everyone looked at Luo Bingbing in confusion while Murong Shang finished his bowing and then noticed that Luo Bingbing was completely unresponsive.
Furrowing his brow slightly, he leaned towards Luo Bingbing and softly asked, "Xiner, what's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few guards outside the hall exclaimed, "The Phoenix has arrived! Look, that's the Phoenix carriage of the Empress of the Silver Moon Kingdom!"
"Indeed! It really is a Phoenix! So beautiful!"
Their voices reached those inside the hall, and everyone exchanged glances, eager to go outside and take a look.
However, what they thought was that the Phoenix had come to attend their Emperor's grand wedding, unaware that it was actually there for revenge.
Murong Shang furrowed his brows upon hearing this, wondering to himself, "Who exactly has come?"
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Dongfang Hao's furious voice. "Murong Shang, you have quite the audacity! How dare you steal my Little Empress!"
Dongfang Hao infused his voice with all his internal strength, ensuring that everyone in the palace heard him clearly.
Murong Shang was taken aback by Dongfang Hao's sudden appearance, while Luo Bingbing felt quite pleased.
The ministers of the Golden Sun Kingdom were astonished by Dongfang Hao's words. Several senior officials immediately pressured Murong Shang, directly asking, "Your Majesty, is what the Silver Moon Emperor said true?"
"What? You would rather believe an outsider than trust my word?" Murong Shang knew that if they realized the person beside him was indeed Luo Bingbing, they would surely try to stop him. He quickly denied her identity.
The ministers were left at a loss for words in response to his statement.
At that moment, Dongfang Hao addressed the Phoenix. "Phoenix, flap your wings with all your might! It would be best if you could send those people outside into the hall as well as any flower pots out there."
He wasn't sure if the Phoenix could understand him, but he had seen Luo Bingbing speak to it in a similar manner before. Thus, he decided to give it a try.
The Phoenix, being the king of birds and a creature of Spiritual Connection, had spent enough time with the Snow Spirit Fox to understand Dongfang Hao's words perfectly.
So, it immediately followed Dongfang Hao's instructions.
Murong Shang was about to tell everyone, "Continue the ceremony," when suddenly many people and flower pots flew into the hall. They were not flying in voluntarily; they were all pushed in by the phoenix outside.
The scene instantly became chaotic, with people piling on top of each other and flower pots crashing down, accompanied by continuous cries of distress.
At this point, Murong Shang could no longer continue the ceremony and had to call his Personal Bodyguard to take Luo Bingbing back to the palace while he led others out to confront the situation.
Luo Bingbing had remained still, waiting for an opportune moment to break free. Therefore, Murong Shang never doubted her and thought she was still under his control.
Afterward, Luo Bingbing was taken back to the palace, which aligned perfectly with Dongfang Hao's plan.
At that moment, above the hall's entrance, only Dongfang Hao was on the back of the phoenix, drawing Murong Shang's attention while Snow Spirit Fox quietly led An Ruo Ran, Miyazawa, and Mo Xuan into the palace where Luo Bingbing was held to rescue her.
When Luo Bingbing returned to her chamber, she saw Snow Spirit Fox inside. She immediately ran over and hugged Snow Spirit Fox, asking, "Little one, how did you come back? Didn't Aunt Ran and the others come?"
At that moment, her Power was only at fifty or sixty years and she couldn't remember how to activate her Ability. An Ruo Ran and the others had higher martial arts skills than her, so she was completely unaware that they were already in the palace.
It wasn't until An Ruo Ran suddenly appeared before her and bowed, saying, "I pay my respects to my master," that she realized An Ruo Ran had already arrived.
Soon after, Miyazawa and Mo Xuan also stepped out from the shadows and greeted Luo Bingbing, saying, "We pay our respects to the Empress. May you be blessed!"
At this point, Luo Bingbing understood that the three of them had been waiting for her in the palace all along.
After An Ruo Ran removed the phoenix crown from Luo Bingbing's head, she quickly helped her change out of her phoenix robe. Then they immediately left the palace and went up to the roof of another building.
However, An Ruo Ran and the others only knew that Luo Bingbing had lost her memory and had regained some memories but were unaware that her Power was now inferior to theirs, reduced to only fifty or sixty years.
In Silver City, when they leaped onto the rooftop, they habitually jumped quickly without paying attention to those around them. It wasn't until the three of them had jumped up that An Ruo Ran realized her master was not by her side.
The moment she turned to look, she discovered that the Little One was still standing below, seemingly unable to use Lightness Skill.
Without hesitation, she immediately used Lightness Skill to fly down and quickly brought Luo Bingbing up to the rooftop.
As soon as they arrived, An Ruo Ran asked, "Master, it's all my fault for being incompetent and causing you to suffer. You can't even remember Lightness Skill now."
"It’s not your fault; it’s Murong Shang who is too good at disguising himself—too cunning and insidious. As long as I recover the memory of my Ability, I can regain my Power immediately. Don't worry! I'm fine."
"What? Master, do you mean the Power within you is gone?" An Ruo Ran asked softly while checking Luo Bingbing's pulse.
After taking the pulse, An Ruo Ran was shocked and immediately said, "That bastard actually fed you Dissipation Powder! I have to go kill him."
As she spoke, An Ruo Ran attempted to get up, but was stopped by Luo Bingbing beside her.
"Aunt Ran, do you think we can successfully kill Murong Shang and safely retreat from Jincheng in our current situation?" After holding An Ruo Ran back, Luo Bingbing quickly asked.
"Yes! Aunt Ran, have you forgotten what my master instructed us before? Besides, I already used Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission to inform my master that we are here," Miyazawa chimed in.
It turned out that after Miyazawa jumped onto the rooftop, he immediately used his Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission skill to secretly inform Dongfang Hao of their exact location and urged him to come rescue them right away.
Upon hearing this, An Ruo Ran calmed down and said to the Little One beside her, "Master, I'm sorry for being too impulsive."
"It's alright; we will definitely come back to take revenge for this."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, the sound of a phoenix's cry reached their ears. Upon hearing it, they turned to look and saw the phoenix carrying Dongfang Hao approaching from a distance.
After Murong Shang went out, he saw Dongfang Hao standing straight on the back of the phoenix, commanding it to flap its wings vigorously, creating a powerful wind that sent people and objects flying in all directions, causing chaos everywhere.
Murong Shang was naturally furious upon seeing this, but he had no way to stop it and could only provoke Dongfang Hao with taunts. However, Dongfang Hao was doing this with a purpose, so he completely ignored Murong Shang.
Nonetheless, Murong Shang did not give up and continued to say things to irritate him.
After a while, Dongfang Hao made the phoenix leave the area. At first, Murong Shang was as happy as everyone else to see the phoenix finally fly away, but once it flew far off, he suddenly realized, "Not good, I've fallen into a trap."
He immediately ran towards his palace with the guards. However, after running for a while, he noticed that the phoenix was not heading toward his palace.
At that moment, he guessed that while Dongfang Hao was toying with him, there must have been others who entered the palace and rescued Luo Bingbing.
Without hesitation, he led the guards in pursuit of the direction where the phoenix had flown.
The phoenix quickly arrived above the palace where Luo Bingbing and the others were located and then slowly descended to the ground.
Dongfang Hao used Lightness Skill to leap down from the phoenix and landed directly beside Luo Bingbing.
As soon as he reached her side, he immediately asked, "Wife, how are you? Are you hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Dongfang Hao asked three questions in a row, leaving Luo Bingbing unsure of which one to answer first.
Shaking her head slightly, Luo Bingbing looked intently at Dongfang Hao. Seeing her gaze fixed on him made Dongfang Hao feel puzzled, and he quickly asked, "Wife, what's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"You're so ugly!" Luo Bingbing replied directly.
Upon hearing her words, everyone was stunned and left speechless.
However, Dongfang Hao quickly regained his composure and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Wife, it can't be that bad! It's just that I haven't bathed or shaved for a few days! How could I have gotten ugly?"
They had been very worried about Luo Bingbing during their journey and wanted to reach Jincheng as soon as possible. To make good time, they hadn't stopped to rest or bathe.
As a result, the stubble on Dongfang Hao and the others had grown quite long, while An Ruo Ran looked somewhat better and still appeared relatively normal.
Dongfang Hao knew that his current appearance was indeed not great; however, he also understood that Luo Bingbing said that just to lighten their mood and prevent them from worrying too much about her.
Not only Dongfang Hao, but even An Ruo Ran and Miyazawa were aware of Luo Bingbing's intention behind those two words.
Before Luo Bingbing could respond, she heard Murong Shang's urgent voice nearby.
He anxiously said, "Xiner, don't believe them; what they say is false. They're trying to deceive you. Come back to me quickly."
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing and the others immediately turned around. They saw Murong Shang with many guards just three meters away from the phoenix, and their brows furrowed in concern.
With a slight smirk, Luo Bingbing instinctively revealed a mischievous smile and coldly said, "Xiner? Murong Shang, where is your Xiner? Do you really think I've lost my memory?"
"Bang!"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, it felt as if a thunderclap exploded in Murong Shang's mind, nearly knocking him off his feet. Fortunately, his Personal Bodyguard caught him.
Otherwise, he would have definitely fallen over.
Once he steadied himself, he began to mutter to himself, "Impossible. You clearly fell under my Illusion; how could you not have lost your memory..."
Although he was talking to himself, Dongfang Hao's power accumulated over more than two hundred years was not to be underestimated. He immediately retorted, "Do you think your Illusion is so impressive and invincible?"
At this moment, the people of the Golden Sun Kingdom realized that the Little One was indeed the Empress of the Silver Moon Kingdom, who had been brought to Jincheng by their emperor using Illusion.
Dongfang Hao and his companions were here today to take someone back.
However, they were astonished to learn that their emperor not only mastered Illusion but also captured the Empress of the Silver Moon Kingdom, provoking a war between the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Mohan Kingdom.
It is important to note that each of these feats was no small task, especially mastering Illusion. Although it was a unique skill of the Golden Sun Kingdom's royal family and even considered a rare skill in the world, several generations of emperors had failed to master it. Yet now, Murong Shang had achieved it.
Thus, they were all extremely surprised.
Just as they were processing this shock, Murong Shang's voice reached their ears. He coldly declared, "Better to be shattered jade than intact tiles; none of you will leave here today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the archers around him to prepare their bows and aim their arrows at Dongfang Hao and his group.
Seeing this, the Phoenix immediately flapped its wings fiercely, creating a powerful wind that sent the archers flying.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Bingbing and her companions leaped onto the back of the Phoenix. Dongfang Hao noticed that the Little One in his arms seemed unable to withstand the wind created by the Phoenix, leaving him quite puzzled.
He gently placed Luo Bingbing on the Phoenix's back and took her hand to check her pulse.
After taking her pulse, he was shocked like An Ruo Ran, his brows furrowing tightly. Just as he was about to ask, An Ruo Ran quickly reported, "Your Majesty, that bastard Murong Shang not only sealed my master's memories but also made her consume Dissipation Powder, leaving her with barely any Power left."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao was furious. He couldn't help but curse angrily, "That damned bastard! I will make him wish he were dead..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Luo Bingbing interrupted him. By now, she had regained her breath and directly cut him off.
"Let him jump around for a while. Once my memories are restored, we will deal with him and make him watch how his kingdom falls."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Dongfang Hao immediately said, "Wife, why wait? I can destroy Jincheng completely right now, making it a living hell."
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing asked in confusion, "Right now? He has so many people; how do you plan to destroy the city?"
"I can use the Demonic Zither Technique."
Luo Bingbing, who had lost her memory, had no idea what the Demonic Zither Technique was, but An Ruo Ran and the others were well aware, especially Miyazawa. He knew that using the Demonic Zither Technique was extremely dangerous; any misstep could lead to backlash, being controlled by the Inner Demon, and an insatiable urge to kill, not to mention the possibility of shortening one's lifespan.
Thus, Miyazawa immediately intervened, saying, "Master, you must not."
Upon hearing Miyazawa's words, Luo Bingbing quickly guessed that Dongfang Hao's method was very dangerous. She hurriedly said to Dongfang Hao, "Let's leave here first and then make plans."
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Dongfang Hao fixed his gaze on Luo Bingbing and made her eyes meet his. Then he said to her, "In the past, you were stronger than me and protected me at every turn while I followed behind you. But now, I have become incredibly powerful—more powerful than you can imagine. So now it's my turn to protect you. I have that ability now. Trust me; I just need one hour. After one hour, I will come find you."
Seeing the unwavering determination in Dongfang Hao's eyes made Luo Bingbing feel reassured. Almost unconsciously, she nodded. When Dongfang Hao saw her agreement, he immediately hugged her tightly and said, "Wife, thank you for giving me this chance!"
After hearing Dongfang Hao's words, Luo Bingbing suddenly realized and couldn't help but think to herself, "Why did I agree to him so easily?"
But once words were spoken, they were like water spilled out; she had always been someone who stood by her word. Therefore, she would not stop Dongfang Hao anymore.
However, she wanted to leave a phoenix behind to assist Dongfang Hao.
But as soon as she mentioned it, Dongfang Hao rejected her proposal outright because he would be using the Demonic Zither Technique. Anyone who heard the sound of the Demonic Zither—humans, animals, bones, or wandering spirits—would be controlled by its music.
So he directly refused Luo Bingbing's suggestion and stated that leaving the phoenix behind would put it in danger. He also mentioned that having the phoenix carry them away would be faster and allow him to act sooner.
After hearing his reasoning, Luo Bingbing and the others had no choice but to let the phoenix leave with them.
According to Dongfang Hao's calculations, they needed to retreat beyond Ten Miles, so they prepared to wait for Dongfang Hao at a villa outside of Ten Miles, which naturally belonged to the Tiger Legion.
Once the meeting location was confirmed, Luo Bingbing had the Phoenix fly around the palace of Murong Shang a few times, creating chaos among the people and objects inside.
Afterward, they found an excellent position within Murong Shang's palace that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, allowing Dongfang Hao to land there.
Once the location was chosen for Dongfang Hao, they had the Phoenix fly around him once more before swiftly ascending into the sky and leaving Mo City.
Since the Phoenix had disrupted Murong Shang's arrangements, no one took the initiative to attack Dongfang Hao for a while.
After the Phoenix disappeared, Dongfang Hao began to summon the Heartless Zither from within his body. He sat cross-legged and placed the Heartless Zither flat on his lap.
After positioning the Heartless Zither, he did not start playing immediately. Noticing that Murong Shang and his people were not attacking him right away, he decided to give the Phoenix more time to fly further away before beginning to play the Demonic Zither Technique.
After a while, he saw that Murong Shang's people had drawn their bows and aimed at him, realizing it was time to start playing the Demonic Zither Technique.
Indeed, at that moment, the Phoenix was almost out of Ten Miles.
Before those archers could shoot their arrows, Dongfang Hao began to play the Demonic Zither Technique. As soon as those archers heard the sound of the Demonic Zither, they immediately turned their bows towards their companions nearby.
Not only the archers but also those guards wielding swords were affected. Even Murong Shang himself was included; anyone who heard the sound of the Demonic Zither fell under its control and lost their minds.
