Time passed by. There was only one day left before the competition between the Variant Immortal School and the Rong Shen School. The human race's imperial capital seemed calm, but in reality, a storm was about to descend after the Heavenly Light County Chief sent over the Dao Seed as proof!
Thus, under the calm before the storm, the atmosphere in the imperial capital was strange and unpredictable!
Everyone was watching!
They were watching the Immortal Emperor and the Variant Immortal School.
The Variant Immortal School was in a storm both inside and outside the Imperial College. Because they were sealed, the previous liveliness was like a flash in the pan, and they returned to their former state!
The people who cultivated the Immortal Guide School's techniques were also suffering and didn't dare to reveal their identities to the outside world. The various powers looked like they didn't care, but in reality, they were waiting for the Human Emperor's decree!
It could also be imagined that the moment this decree was passed down, the Variant Immortal School would most likely suffer a disastrous decline. Their recovery momentum would collapse, and they might not even fall as lightly as Ceng Qing.
At least, the decline in the past could be said to have been eliminated by the times. Now, if it involved the soul extraction of millions of humans and was put on the table for the entire human race to pay attention to, then it would be a great crime for the human race!
Especially when the evidence seemed to be conclusive. When the date of the competition between the Rong Shen School and the Variant Immortal School arrived, the Human Emperor's decree that everyone was waiting for came out from the imperial palace.
"The seal on the Variant Immortal School's White Tower has been temporarily lifted. The Rong Shen School and the Rong Shen School are allowed to discuss the Dao and prove themselves." This decree surprised many people, but at the same time, it was also what many people expected!
The Variant Immortal School had existed for a long time. When the Imperial College was first established, it was the year that the school stood tall.
Since ancient times, there were also many human cultivators who cultivated the Variant Immortal School's techniques!
Although it declined in the later stages, the Variant Immortal School had long been inextricably linked with the various powers of the human race. There were also too many incense offerings that outsiders didn't know about!
It could be imagined that this decree must have contained a game between many parties. This was something that ordinary people couldn't know about!
In short, the Variant Immortal School burned itself. The incense offerings that had accumulated since its establishment finally gave them an opportunity at this crucial moment!
An opportunity to prove their innocence!
Thus, on the evening of the day before the Dao Discussion, the door of the Other Immortal School's White Pagoda was slowly pushed open. The figure of the Other Immortal School's master, who had been trapped inside, finally appeared.
In half a month, his gaze had clearly become more ancient. He stood there and looked silently at the streets of the Imperial College. When the students of the Imperial College noticed this, they also looked at him from afar. Their expressions were complicated. Some were disgusted, some were emotional, some were angry, and some were hesitant.
Everyone's thoughts were different. After a long time, the sect master turned around and sat down in the great hall of the Deviant Immortal School's white tower, waiting silently!
Time slowly passed, but not a single Deviant Immortal Faction student appeared!
Instead, it was the Sect Leader's eyes that were slowly dimming. Only a ball of unwillingness was burning in the depths of his eyes!
At the same time, outside the Imperial College, dusk had fallen. The cold wind whistled across the land, like a poem or a sob, and the heart was filled with sorrow.
It blew past the ancient city walls in the distance, trying to blow up the dust that had been eroded by the snow. However, in the end, it could only disperse the chill in the minds of everyone in the Imperial Capital!
It was like an ancient poet using a sorrowful poem to narrate the history of the world. It was also like a heartless bystander, silently recording the rise and fall of the world!
At this moment, in the cold night, two figures merged into the poem like the ink wind. In the wind, they outlined a blurry afterimage as they rapidly approached the residence not far from the First Prince's mansion!
The dark night covered their figures, and the cold wind concealed their auras. All of this allowed the figure to silently appear in the courtyard of the residence!
It was Xu Qing, who had rushed back to the Imperial Capital!
He stood there and sensed his surroundings!
Although Xu Qing had used a divine technique to see a corner of the life of the black-robed man who had Truth Words hidden in his soul, this corner only had the altar and the man's worship.
As for his appearance, he was unable to see it. He only knew that the man was definitely one of Truth Words' people. Behind this matter, he had investigated the two Deviant Immortal School students. Other than Truth Words, there was also the so-called employer.
Of course, it was also possible that the word "employer" was just a bluff. Also, I had used a strand of my soul to enter the black-robed man's body. Not only was I familiar with the strange nature of his spiritual sense, even his voice was familiar to me.
Xu Qing raised his eyes, pushed open the door of the house, and walked in!
The house was pitch-black, but in his eyes, everything was very clear!
The house was very simple. There was a wooden bed, a table, a chair, and an extinguished oil lamp on the table!
Looking at this, Xu Qing closed his eyes. Combining his soul search and divine technique, he locked onto this house. At this moment, when he closed his eyes, he seemed to have returned to this place a month ago!
The black-robed man sat there, and three Deviant Immortal School students stood opposite him!
While fiddling with the flame of the oil lamp, words echoed!
He did not see the man's appearance!
After a long time, Xu Qing opened his eyes and walked to the spot where the black-robed man had been sitting. He sat down and waved his hand. The oil lamp before him lit up once more. As the light flickered, Xu Qing raised his hand and gently fiddled with the flame. The power of the purple moon in his body spread out and formed a foreign substance that belonged to him. It flowed into the oil lamp through his fingers!
Slowly, the flame of the oil lamp shook violently, and the material was gradually affected. In the end, there were signs of life!
This was also the condensation of the power of a god. The divine sense could invade everything, and it could also create a certain degree of life. This was also the reason why many new races appeared on the Ancient Continent after Faceless arrived!
It was also the reason why the forbidden zone appeared!
For example, Xu Qing's forbidden zone in the scavenger camp was caused by a zither being activated. Now, Xu Qing was using the same method to activate this oil lamp!
In this house, no one had seen the black-robed man's face, but they had seen the face of the oil lamp!
This spell was not something an ordinary person could master. Perhaps some powerful cultivator had a special spell that could imitate it, but what Xu Qing wanted to do now was something only a god could do!
After a long time, the flame in the lamp swayed more intensely, and the oil lamp began to melt and split, turning into tentacles that swayed gently from within. Facial features slowly appeared on the oil lamp, as though a face had been drawn, but it was obviously extremely unstable. At this moment, cracks began to appear on the oil lamp as it trembled!
Xu Qing pointed with his finger and the flame paused for a moment before he calmly spoke!
"Clearly reveal the face of the black-robed man you saw a month ago."
The moment Xu Qing spoke, the oil lamp trembled violently. It was as if Xu Qing's voice was the highest order, so it released the flame without any hesitation!
In the next moment, the oil lamp began to melt, but the flame suddenly rose. When the oil lamp completely disappeared, the remaining flame rose.
Then, a face appeared within it!
It was a pale, ordinary, and unfamiliar old face!
Xu Qing had never seen this face before in his memories!
At this moment, as the flame swayed, the face became clearer. When it was completely revealed, the flame slowly dimmed, as if it had released all the life that had come to life and also released the sparks of life!
Now, it had begun to die out, but its meaning was extremely important to Xu Qing. Xu Qing's body involuntarily leaned forward as he stared at the face that had appeared in the flame!
He was looking at the eyes of the face. There were four figures reflected in the eyes. The oil lamp revealed a dusk from a month ago, and these four figures were different from the ones Xu Qing had seen when he searched their souls!
When he searched their souls and used his divine spell, he saw that there were only three students from the Variant Immortal Faction!
However, on that day, there were not four, but five, including the black-robed man!
There was also one more person here!
However, the three students from the Variant Immortal Faction could not see this person's existence. Only the black-robed man could see him due to the connection between them.
It was also because of this that Xu Qing, using this unimaginable technique, saw indirectly that the extra figure was wearing a white robe and had an Imperial College mask on his face. Everything seemed unfamiliar, but the charm that came from his exposed eyes made Xu Qing's killing intent rise abruptly.
This gaze reminded him of the Sect Master of the Harmonious God Faction that he saw when he first entered the university!
At that time, he already had doubts about this. At this moment, when he combined it with the familiar cold snort and the figure and charm that appeared, an answer appeared in his heart!
"The Sect Master of the Harmonious God Faction is Bai Xiaozhuo!"
Xu Qing muttered in his heart. Then, he raised his right hand and waved it gently. The flame in front of him dissipated, and the room became pitch black again.
"After watching for so long, it's time to show yourself!"
Xu Qing's voice echoed in the quiet room. After a few breaths, a rustling sound came from the room. "As expected of Region Lord Xu. Not only did you find this place, your methods are truly astonishing!"
As he spoke, a black-robed man who looked exactly like the one Xu Qing saw walked out of the void and appeared in the room!
Xu Qing turned around to look. "You're not that person!"
He spoke calmly. The aura and feeling of the person before him were different from the black-robed man!
"I'm indeed not, but I might be in the future!" The black-robed man stood on the spot and carefully observed Xu Qing. As for his face, it was a blur!
He looked very seriously, and Xu Qing was also staring!
A moment later, the black-robed man raised his right hand and a jade slip flew out and landed in front of Xu Qing. "The employer is the Seventh Prince. All the evidence is inside. I have helped you collect it. What to do is up to you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. His figure gradually became blurry!
When Xu Qing heard this, killing intent rose in his heart. He didn't look at the jade slip. Instead, he looked at the black-robed man's gradually disappearing figure. While he was speculating about this person's identity, he suddenly spoke!
"If you have time, go back and see Ning Yan!"
The moment Xu Qing spoke, the blurry figure of the black-robed man seemed to tremble slightly. He turned around and glanced at Xu Qing before completely disappearing!
