Inside the pavilion, the Emperor of Da Liang was listening to the Astronomical Bureau. "No matter how the State Preceptor and I calculate, we cannot discern whether that Touzi is dead or alive."
Gao Zhijian began to walk slowly along the long, covered walkway, leading the Astronomical Bureau forward. "Let me see what really happened back then."
The Astronomical Bureau nodded, stretched out a bony, dry finger, and pulled something from his own shadow before hurling it forcefully into the sky.
As the black mass enveloped everything, the world's colors changed in an instant. The Astronomical Bureau and Gao Zhijian were simultaneously transported back to the intense battlefield of that time.
Gao Zhijian saw his Senior Brother Li. He was in the middle of a gruesome battlefield, facing the Touzi that had taken control of the Dragon Vein.
Although only a mouth remained on his Senior Brother Li's face, he was somehow still standing there, alive.
