After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

"Look at sample number one."

The two of them looked at the cryogenic chamber in the very center.

The figure inside the cabin had no facial features, but a palm-sized piece of imperial bone was embedded in its chest cavity.

Lin Qingxue opened her eyes to 80%.

The black divine light pierced through the ice layer and reached the interior of the imperial bone.

A line of ancient characters appeared on its own.

[Sample 1: Trial Format]

[Awakening Condition: Key returned to its original position.]

[Current completion status: 90%]

Lin Qingxue attempted to delve deeper to examine the specific definition of "key".

Just then, Sample Number One opened its eyes.

It did not generate Xu Youwei's face.

This time, it went straight for Lin Qingxue.

A pale finger emerged from the cryogenic chamber and pointed at her eyes through the ice.

boom!

A judgmental will, devoid of sorrow or joy, traversed thousands of miles of sea, piercing straight into her soul.

The light from the tidal array inside the array chamber went out immediately.

The black silk on Lin Qingxue's face was stained with blood.

She fell backward.

Zhou Ran put his arm around her with one hand and pressed the Wangchuan Heart Seal with the other.

"Sever."

The power of the River of Oblivion sliced ​​across.

The will of judgment did not retreat; it forcibly wrote a line of words in the void.

[The Moon Emperor's Eye in the Mortal Realm.]

【pollute.】

[To be destroyed.]

Zhou Ran's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to summon the White Bone Brush.

Instead of confronting that power head-on, he transformed the Forgotten River Heart Seal into chains of evidence, binding the remaining will of judgment.

"Cross-border spying, actively harming others."

"The evidence is valid."

The white bone pen fell.

[Archived.]

The black and gold chains quickly closed, forcibly sealing the judgmental will into the second evidence seal.

Inside the cryogenic chamber, Sample 1's movements paused for the first time.

Lin Qingxue's eyes were still bleeding, but she raised her hand and, through her gradually closing vision, wrote four black characters in the air.

[Invalid ruling.]

Sample number one's finger rested on the ice.

A smile appeared on Lin Qingxue's face.

"It can't understand living people."

"I can only see the source of the power, but I can't see who I am."

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

Cross-border connections have been completely severed.

Zhou Ran supported her shoulders.

"You call this 'not understanding'?"

"It says I am the Moon Emperor's present-day eye."

Lin Qingxue wiped the blood from the corner of her eye.

"But these eyes now belong to me."

"So it made a mistake."

Zhou Ran took out the powder and pressed it between her eyebrows.

Lin Qingxue did not dodge, but simply raised her hand to re-tie the black silk.

"The trial rules on White Tower Island are incomplete."

"They don't discern a person's current choices; they only trace the origins of power."

"Your Primordial Bone, Demon Emperor Seal, Moon Emperor Gray Pattern, and Forgotten River Heart Seal may all be considered contamination in its eyes."

Zhou Ran said, "Then its workload is considerable."

Lin Qingxue chuckled softly.

Just as she was about to get up, there was a knocking sound outside the room.

thump.

thump.

thump.

The sound wasn't loud, but it perfectly matched the heartbeat inside her chest.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time.

The evidence box that Chen Ya kept appeared at the entrance of the array room at some unknown time.

A crack appeared in the box wall.

The pale, infantile finger reached out again, rhythmically tapping the transparent seal.

With each tap, Lin Qingxue's heart pounded.

Zhou Ran gripped the Taihuang Black Blade.

"Is it calling you?"

Lin Qingxue looked at that finger with her Dharma eyes.

A moment later, her expression changed.

"No."

"It's using my heartbeat to transmit coordinates."

"It wasn't calling for you, nor for me."

Lin Qingxue turned her head and looked at the ground above the manor.

That was Chen Ya's office.

"Zhou Ran".

"It's calling Chen Ya."

Chen Ya hasn't rested yet.

There are six screens in the office.

On the central screen, the final holder is still listed in two words.

[The Emperor's son.]

Chen Ya picked up her now-cold coffee, took a sip, and the table shook slightly.

The office door opened by itself.

The evidence box slid slowly down the floor and came to rest in front of her desk.

Zhou Ran and Lin Qingxue followed closely behind.

"Why are you two out of sleep in the middle of the night, bringing a skeleton to check up on things?"

Chen Ya put down her coffee, her gaze falling on the evidence box, but she didn't reach out to touch it.

Zhou Ran said, "It specifically asked for you."

Do you have an appointment?

"no."

"Then let them line up."

The baby's fingers inside the box stopped tapping.

The three characters "wait, judge, kill" on the surface of the imperial bone then went out.

Four new ancient patterns appeared on the box wall.

Lin Qingxue opened her Dharma Eyes, directly transmitting the meaning of the ancient runes into everyone's minds.

The key is here.

The four characters were directly facing Chen Ya.

All electronic devices in the office simultaneously went black.

A thin, grayish-white beam of light shot out from the evidence box, heading straight for Chen Ya's brow.

Zhou Ran stepped forward, blocking her way.

The Great Wilderness Black Blade was drawn.

The black and gold blade slashed down, but the gray and white light was not destroyed. Instead, it bypassed Zhou Ran and continued to point at Chen Ya.

Lin Qingxue raised her hand and shook it.

The black light from the Dharma Eyes fixed it in mid-air.

The gray-white light vibrated continuously, without attacking or showing hostility, but simply repeatedly confirming Chen Ya's location.

Upon receiving the news, Xu Youwei, Wang Pangzi, Qin San, and others rushed to the office.

As soon as Fatty Wang entered the door, he saw those four words.

"Is the key here?"

"Is President Chen truly the Emperor's backup plan?"

Chen Ya glanced at him.

"Currently, there's only one bone."

Fatty Wang looked at Zhou Ran.

"Brother Zhou, how about we send President Chen to the underworld to avoid trouble for a while? We can't expect the Emperor's Bone to chase us all the way to the Third Hall."

The Yin-Yang Communication Bone Fragment lit up.

The voice of the Song emperor emanated from within.

"I heard it."

"The Third Hall is the Hall of the King of the Underworld, not a refuge for your Xiao Family Manor."

Fatty Wang said, "I'll stay for two days."

"roll."

Chen Ya looked at Fatty Wang.

"I'm not going."

"Mr. Chen, now is not the time to work overtime."

"Qinghui Trust still has 172 compensation payments that have not been unfrozen, three overseas banks are delaying the approval process, and the entrance to Baita Island has not been confirmed."

Chen Ya sat back down in front of the computer.

"I haven't finished my shift while I'm alive; I'll only be under the jurisdiction of the underworld after I die."

At the other end of the bone fragment, Emperor Song remained silent.

"If this woman were to enter the underworld, Li Zhiyao would have to give up half a table for her."

Li Zhiyao coldly replied, "No need, her lifespan hasn't ended yet."

Chen Ya ignored them.

She reached out and touched the keyboard.

The black screen lit up again.

It wasn't because the power was restored, but because an encrypted communication from the White Tower Council forcibly bypassed the manor's external firewall and appeared on the central screen.

To: The Emperor's Prince's backup plan.

Hand over the imperial bone evidence box.

The White Tower Council will lift all freezes on the Ching Fai Medical Trust and recognize the compensation plan for the Asia region.

If refused, the second round of global asset freeze proceedings has been initiated. Countdown: ten minutes.
