Imperial Palace.
The emperor, who was sleeping, was once again woken up by the stargazers.
"What's the matter?" The emperor had a kind smile on his face, but his heart was full of resentment.
"We've found clues about the ferocious beast!" an astrologer said excitedly.
"Hmm?" The emperor perked up.
The other stargazers spoke one after another:
"Tonight, the 'Earth Tribulation Flame' appeared. I calculated with my fingers and found that the moment the Earth Tribulation Flame appeared, it was taken away..."
"We worked together and continued to deduce the situation. We discovered that the person who took away the Earth Flame was related to the ferocious beast that appeared some time ago."
"Yes, I saw a pair of gloomy green pupils next to the Earth Flame." The one speaking now was a dream stargazer, who could dream about whatever he wanted to know. "But I didn't dream of the beast, I only vaguely saw that it was very white..."
Another astrologer spoke up, "Your Majesty, the 'Earth Tribulation Flame' is a fire formed by the interaction between a cultivator and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This fire is born so suddenly that even astrologers cannot predict when it will appear."
"Therefore, every time a calamity fire appears in the human world, it always takes some time before someone takes it away."
“But tonight, the Earth Flame was just born and it was taken away.”
"There's definitely something wrong here."
The emperor pondered and said, "Could it be just a coincidence?"
"It's night time now! Normal people should be sleeping, but there's a cultivator who's staying up late at night. He happened to see the Earth Flame being born, and also happened to learn how to subdue it..."
"What's even more coincidental is that this cultivator was the one who took away the ferocious beast some time ago."
"It's such a coincidence, something must be wrong!"
The emperor blinked and asked, "Have you found this person?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the astrologers fell silent.
They can’t find it…
The emperor's smile froze. "You came here tonight just to tell me how powerful this cultivator is? Other than that, do you have any other clues?"
The stargazers all lowered their heads.
emperor:"……"
What kind of useless people have I raised?
Everyone was silent for a moment. An astrologer standing in the corner muttered, "Last time, we deduced that the expert who contracted the ferocious beast should have left the Great Rui Kingdom. But now, the expert has appeared near the Earth Flame, and the Earth Flame is not too far from the capital. This proves that our last deduction was wrong..."
The person nearby mustered up the courage to speak up, "This time, we all agree that this 'expert' is a native of the Great Rui Kingdom."
The emperor was very tired. He waved his hands and said, "Alright, stop speculating. I'm tired..."
"Your Majesty, we are willing to deduct three months' salary from ourselves..." The astronomers also felt that they were in the wrong and took the initiative to speak up.
"No need for that. You have also worked hard. It's all because that master is too powerful. You can go back and rest. There is no need to deduct your salary." The emperor turned and left.
I returned to the dragon bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
"This master is a hidden danger..." the emperor muttered to himself, feeling that the master was even more difficult to deal with than Prince Rui.
Prince Rui's power is laid out in the open, giving everyone a sense of security.
Even Prince Rui could not escape the astrologers' deductions and divinations, but the "experts" could.
Who exactly is this expert?
Could it be that her cultivation level is higher than Prince Rui's?
What a headache...
In the darkness, the emperor opened his eyes, knowing that he would not be able to fall asleep, so he simply sat up.
The eunuch outside heard the noise, walked in quickly, and lifted the black velvet cloth on the lamp stand.
There is a pale yellow bead on the shelf, which emits light and illuminates the entire room.
"Get out." The emperor glanced at his personal eunuch.
The eunuch immediately understood what he meant and covered the room with the velvet cloth again, and the room fell into darkness again.
The emperor walked around behind the screen and pressed a mechanism. A half-real, half-illusory black door appeared in front of him. He stepped in and ripples appeared on the door. When the emperor walked in, the black door disappeared on the spot, as if it had never appeared.
…
Ten miles away from the capital, there is a royal manor with pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water, as well as some intelligent beasts. There is a forbidden area in the manor. Legend has it that a ferocious beast is imprisoned in the forbidden area. No one is allowed to enter or leave the forbidden area, and there are no guards outside the forbidden area, because anyone who sneaks into the forbidden area has never come out again.
At this moment, a black door suddenly appeared in the forbidden area.
The emperor walked out of the door and entered the forbidden area.
Surrounded by lush green bamboos,
Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a wooden house with a few flowers planted sporadically in front of it.
The emperor walked up to the cabin and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a beautiful girl opened the door.
The girl has long lake green hair that reaches her ankles. She has a pair of green eyes. This green is lush and beautiful, reminiscent of the first buds on the treetops in early spring, full of vitality and hope, but her eyes are calm and indifferent, like a lifeless puppet.
The girl had an oval face, a pointed chin, a thin figure, and wore a crescent-white dress, looking like a fairy who was not of this world.
She looked at the emperor quietly.
The emperor said, "In my country of Da Rui, a spiritual master has appeared who is even more powerful than Prince Rui."
The girl lowered her eyes, her eyelashes as thick and black as crow feathers. Her voice was emotionless, "Do you want me to kill someone?"
