Then a female official inside asked,
"Who is before the carriage?"
The minister of the Honglu Temple knelt outside the door and reported,
"The Nine Yin Mountain Lord, the Head of the Sword Sect, the Beichen Sword Master! The True Lord of the Mysterious Heaven seeks audience with Her Highness the Eldest Princess!"
Then there was silence within the courtyard. Tie Dan neither knelt nor bowed, just stood there, his eyes shining like lightning, piercing through the window curtains to gaze at the figure inside.
Seeing such rudeness, the surrounding temple ministers, female officials, and guards were all uneasy, sweating profusely, fearing that this Sword Immortal might suddenly rise and attack the palace, unable to be stopped, implicating them in being executed and exterminated.
Who would have thought that the Eldest Princess would be the first to break the awkward silence, waving her hand,
"Withdraw."
