Chapter 382: Revolt
"The Divine Constable even personally stood watch on the night of the full moon, and he too was affected, waking unconscious the following day."
"The Qingxuan Temple could make nothing of it, and eventually had that section of the dark pool sealed off, with word of the matter forbidden from spreading."
The Hidden Intelligence Bureau agent outside the window continued his account unhurriedly, and glanced at the room before him. Finding it silent again, his eyes shifted faintly, and he pressed on, "Though the Qingxuan Temple has suppressed the news, word of it has still quietly circulated among the common people of Taixuan City. This subordinate, in the course of collecting intelligence in Great Xuan, has also gone to investigate."
"And it was upon investigation that this subordinate discovered the dark pool in the Qingxuan Temple holds yet another secret."
At that point, Li Musheng's voice came through the room, carrying a note of impatience, "Less talk. Get to the point."
At those words, the agent collected himself and replied at once, "This subordinate slipped into the Qingxuan Temple and found that the true qi of heaven and earth near that dark pool is far denser than the surrounding area, beyond comparison. And within the pool's water there is a faint but deeply alarming presence."
"This subordinate had only to approach the edge of the pool before the true qi in his meridians began flowing in reverse, nearly destroying his cultivation entirely."
"Although this subordinate did not dare get any closer and retreated immediately, based on what I observed, I believe the bottom of that pool very likely conceals an extraordinary martial divine treasure. Nothing less could produce such an effect."
Inside the room, Li Musheng fell into quiet contemplation.
