"What?" The Bureau Chief flew into a rage and asked sternly, "How did the Lord disappear? Wasn't he always in the capital? And you swore that he was under your surveillance. What a novel. "
Number One lowered his head and said angrily, "The Lord's cultivation level is high. Although we sent many people to monitor him, he still slipped away in the end."
"Why did he slip away?" The Bureau Chief panted heavily and asked with an ashen face.
Number One already had a plan and answered without hesitation, "I suspect that it has something to do with today's phenomenon."
"Hmm? How did you think of this? "The Bureau Chief asked suspiciously.
"The Lord is full of tricks and is very cunning. Perhaps he found some clues from this phenomenon, so he slipped away." Number One analyzed.
The Bureau Chief pondered for a long time before saying, "What clues could there be from this phenomenon?"
Number One was silent, not knowing how to answer.
"Have you found out the reason for this phenomenon? And the mysterious energy that suddenly appeared in the sky above the capital, didn't many people sense it? "The Bureau Chief asked.
Number One's expression was stern as he said, "The reason for the phenomenon might be related to the mysterious energy that suddenly appeared. This energy is too mysterious, we haven't figured it out yet."
"You don't know anything? Then why did the Lord see through it? What are you all doing? "The Bureau Chief scolded in exasperation.
Number One shrunk his neck and didn't dare to answer.
The Bureau Chief roared in exasperation for a while, and the anger in his heart dissipated. He took a deep breath and said, "What do you think this mysterious energy is?"
Number One pondered and said, "Many people can sense this power, but as for where it comes from and where it gathers, it's very vague. We really can't find the source, but we can be sure that this power came from the sky."
"Came from the sky?"
"Yes, but it came and went quickly. Now that energy has disappeared."
"Will it appear again?"
"This … I don't know."
The Bureau Chief glared at Number One and ordered, "Continue to monitor this energy closely and send more people to search for the Lord. Since you think that he knows something, then we have to use him as a breakthrough point."
"Yes, I understand."
The Bureau Chief paused for a moment, then asked on a whim, "With such a huge commotion, are there any movements from the various powers in the capital?"
"Not yet. Perhaps no one has seen clearly what's going on."
"Pay close attention to the situation. The capital has been peaceful for too long, and it's going to be chaotic again. Hmph, it's really an eventful time. I wonder who is stirring up trouble in the capital. "The Bureau Chief sternly ordered.
At the same time, many experts in the world turned their attention to the capital city of Hua Xia. That strange phenomenon only appeared in the sky, and the power of the stars only covered this small part of the capital city.
However, the news spread too quickly. By evening, many people had already found out about the scene in the capital. Experts from all over the world had gathered in the capital.
Tang Zheng sat at home, circulating the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll in an attempt to communicate with the power of the stars. The sky was already filled with stars, but Tang Zheng discovered that after trying for half a day, there was no effect.
He was actually unable to communicate with the power of the stars.
What was going on?
Tang Zheng was extremely surprised, and his eyes widened.
Tian Chanzi was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Is it not working? "
Tang Zheng gritted his teeth and said inwardly, "It's nothing. I'll try again."
This time, he mustered all his strength and circulated the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll. He silently recalled the feeling in the chess club and persisted for a long time.
Phew!
He let out a long breath and said with a miserable expression, "Why is it still not working?"
Tian Chanzi's expression suddenly changed. He stared straight at him and asked, "You can't communicate with the power of the stars?"
Tang Zheng nodded his head helplessly. This was something he had never thought of. Back then, everything had gone smoothly in the chess club, but now, there was no movement at all.
This was too illogical.
Heaven Monk was silent, the expression in his eyes flickered, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "You said that at that time, Ji Wuxiang used the Heavenly Chess to trigger the power of the stars to descend into the world, and then you communicated with the power of the stars, right?"
Tang Zheng understood immediately. His eyes lit up and he asked, "You're saying that the power of the stars is now above the firmament, so I can't communicate with it. I can only wait for the chess set to attract the power of the stars to the world, then I can communicate with the power of the stars?"
Tian Chanzi looked at him approvingly. He was indeed smart. He had only said one sentence, and he had guessed it.
"Yes, I don't think it's possible."
Tang Zheng was silent. He carefully pondered whether it made sense or not. After a long struggle, he had to admit that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. He had a unique insight and could see the essence at a glance.
It was most likely the reason that Tian Chanzi mentioned.
"Then wasn't it too early for me to be happy? I can't communicate with the power of the stars above the Ninth Heaven. If that's the case, I'll be completely controlled by the chess set." Tang Zheng said dejectedly.
Tian Chanzi shrugged helplessly and said, "Although I don't want it to be like this, the reality is so cruel."
"It's not my style to be controlled by others. Moreover, Ji Wuxiang hid too much of the truth. He's no longer a reliable person. I can't pin my hopes on him." Tang Zheng retorted coldly.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Tang Zheng's gaze turned and he glanced at Little Yue Yue who was lying on the side. He had an idea and said, "The Scarlet Lunar Beast is gifted and can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. Once it absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, can I also absorb some of it?"
Tian Chanzi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Tang Zheng's thoughts to wander so quickly. He actually thought of the Scarlet Lunar Beast. But without a doubt, this was a good idea. It was worth a try.
"You're smart."
Tang Zheng smiled faintly, "I'm just trying anything when I'm in a dire situation. As for whether it will work or not, that's an unknown."
"Then let's give it a try." Tian Chanzi said.
"Little Yue Yue, now circulate your energy and absorb the essence of the moon." Tang Zheng said to the Scarlet Lunar Beast.
Little Yue Yue lazily stretched its body and walked under the window. The moonlight shone on its body. It let out a low growl and opened its small mouth.
Yi!
Tang Zheng and Tian Chanzi exclaimed at the same time. They stared at Little Yue Yue. Although it couldn't be seen with the naked eye, they could clearly feel a wave of energy descending from the sky and being absorbed into its mouth.
"Look at the sky!" Xiao Bai pointed at the sky outside the window and said.
The two immediately turned their heads and their eyes widened. The silver moon was turning blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, it had completely turned into a blood moon.
"Blood moon!"
Exclamations could be heard from outside. Many people ran out of their homes and looked at this shocking scene.
Capital was shaken once again. Every door opened and many people ran out into the streets. Many people who didn't see this scene during the day were once again able to experience this scene.
"The moon has turned blood red!"
This time, no one thought of the moon as the sun. Many smart people immediately thought of the scene during the day and suddenly realized, "So the one during the day wasn't the sun, but the moon! Why would the moon turn blood red? "
"The end of the world is coming. Disaster is coming soon!" Some people didn't mind watching the show and started to create a commotion.
The staff of the observatory were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know how to report this to their superiors.
As for the official and experts' explanation during the day, it was even more absurd. Even an idiot would know that they were lying. This time, even the lies couldn't be covered up.
In the Go club, Ji Wuxiang strode into the courtyard and looked up at the blood moon in the sky. His eyes slightly narrowed into two slits, like the edge of a blade. In the night, there was a sense of chilliness that made people shudder.
"The blood moon appeared during the day, and now it's appeared again. What's going on?"
Although he was extremely intelligent, he couldn't figure out the reason.
Ever since Tang Zheng left, when he found out that a second sun had appeared in the sky when Celestial Chess was activated, he was extremely shocked. He had been racking his brains, trying to figure out the mystery behind it.
However, in the end, he realized that everything was in vain. There was no record of this in the information he had.
Nevertheless, he had a premonition that this was definitely not a good thing for him.
He stared at the blood moon and clenched his fists. "Could it be an anomaly caused by Celestial Chess? Celestial Chess is completely under my control, so how could it cause such an anomaly? "
He shook his head and slightly exerted force with his legs, landing lightly on the roof of the chess club. He looked into the distance and looked in several directions in Capital City.
"There's an additional energy in the air. It's similar to the power of stars, but it's also slightly different."
He mumbled to himself and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Since the blood moon has appeared, there must be some clues. I don't believe that it can escape my eyes." Two terrifying lights burst out from his eyes. With a light tap of his toes, he flew up into the sky like a leaf when a strong wind blew.
Nevertheless, his movements were very light and slow, perfectly blending into the night. Normal people wouldn't be able to notice that there was a nocturnal traveler on the roof.
The sound of the whistling wind brushed past his ears. His figure was elegant, and he had the demeanor of a peerless expert. If Tang Zheng and the others saw this, they would be shocked.
Ji Wuxiang had fooled everyone. Not only Tang Zheng and Tian Chanzi, but even the Empyrean Fairy had been fooled. Back then, the Empyrean Fairy tested Ji Wuxiang. At the critical moment of life and death, Ji Wuxiang didn't fight back. He didn't even reveal a single flaw.
His state of mind was truly incomparable to that of a normal person.
If the Empyrean Fairy knew that Ji Wuxiang had deceived her under her nose, her thoughts would probably be more complicated than those of Tang Zheng. After all, she was a prideful person to the bone.
