CRASH!
The reinforced glass doors of the control booth shattered outward as twenty Senior Harem Instructors erupted into the Simulated Peach-Blossom Cave!
Leading the charge was goateed Senior Instructor Liu, his eyes bloodshot with desperation as he and his nineteen fellow Rank 8 Early lecturers unspooled twenty glowing, barbed crimson sashes. The department’s infamous [Rank 8 Immortal Mind-Control & Bone-Locking Silk Ribbons]!
Behind them in the booth, Dean Hua Cong held his left palm hovering half an inch above the glowing red [Rose Dungeon Hostage-Drain Switch.] His voice booming through the cavern loudspeakers in a frantic attempt to regain control:
“Lock that white-robed woman in the Mind-Control Ribbons and drag her into the booth! Once we have Gu Changsheng’s guest examinee as a live shield, I’ll activate the Rose Dungeon blood-siphon and force the Disciplinary Office to shut down the satellite broadcast!”
“You heard the Dean! She’s only a wounded Rank 7 Early Ice-Sword cultivator! Grab her by the neck!”
Senior Instructor Liu and all nineteen Rank 8 Early instructors lunged onto the central white-jade platform from twenty directions at once. Their twenty barbed crimson silk ribbons whistling through the air like venomous vipers toward Empress Luo Qingxue’s throat, wrists, and ankles!
