Chapter 276 Xuannv 141
After overhearing the conversation between Yao Ling Wang and Xing Huan, in the spacious yet somewhat oppressively quiet space, Yao Guang, dressed in a moon-white silk dress, swayed slightly with her hurried movements. She moved swiftly to Dong Hua's side, her tone filled with undisguised surprise and doubt. Her clear voice instantly broke the seemingly frozen silence: "The Vermilion Bird egg? Is this truly confirmed?" With that, her brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Dong Hua, her gaze searching as if trying to see right through him.
Donghua, dressed in a long black robe, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his expression calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. He slightly raised his head, gazing into the distance as if recalling something, before slowly speaking after a moment: "It's confirmed. That day, that vast and unique aura suddenly surged forth, and I sensed it instantly. That power, full of vitality and heat, was incomparable to any other mortal being. At that time, I marveled that the Vermilion Bird, as an auspicious creature among the bird clan, truly possessed great fortune, even favored by the Heavenly Dao."
At this moment, King Yaoling strode in from outside the hall with a solemn expression. His golden robes rustled with each step, highlighting his noble status. His face was filled with regret and self-reproach, and his tone was filled with deep remorse: "From the moment the Vermilion Bird, one of the four cardinal directions, descended into the world, we knew the importance of the Vermilion Bird's egg. We specially designated the place where the Vermilion Bird's egg fell as a forbidden area and dispatched many experts to guard it day and night, all to prevent such an accident from happening today. But who could have imagined that those villains would be so bold and the defenses so tight, yet the Vermilion Bird's egg was still stolen." As he spoke, his fists clenched unconsciously, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, showing that his anger and resentment had reached their peak.
Upon hearing this, Donghua frowned slightly, a deep sense of doubt flashing in his profound eyes: "This is indeed quite strange. According to common sense, when such a divine object of heaven and earth is stolen, the Heavenly Dao should give a warning, but I have not noticed any signs of warning at all. It is as if this matter is shrouded in an invisible fog, and all omens have been deliberately erased."
King Yaoling sighed softly and slowly shook his head, his face full of helplessness: "Even the High God Zheyan hasn't inquired about this matter. With his great supernatural powers and insight into all things in the world, if he knew about this, he certainly wouldn't sit idly by. Now he's made no move. Could it be that even he's been kept in the dark and knows nothing about this earth-shattering event?"
A deathly silence fell over the entire Lingxiao Pavilion. The oppressive atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, like an invisible net enveloping everyone. Everyone knew that the theft of the Vermilion Bird Egg was no simple matter; it likely involved a vast and mysterious conspiracy. And they, unknowingly, had been drawn into this turbulent and dangerous situation. The road ahead was shrouded in gloom and mist, every step potentially fraught with danger…
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was heavy as lead. Jiaojiao, dressed in plain white, moved with a light and graceful gait, yet her expression was cold and stern. Her voice was clear and crisp, like pearls falling to the ground, yet every word struck at the heart: "Can you confirm that Bai Qian and Bai Zhen stole it?" This question struck everyone like a hammer blow to the heartstrings. Indeed, Xinghuan had only mentioned that the siblings had trespassed into the forbidden area; as for the theft of the Vermilion Bird Egg, whether it was related to them was still without conclusive evidence.
Xinghuan trembled slightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Lying on the bed, he was extremely agitated. He wouldn't allow anyone to slander him. Xinghuan exclaimed loudly, "Emperor, God, Immortal, Grandfather, I truly saw it! Moreover, there's a recording stone within the forbidden area, which must have recorded everything truthfully, serving as proof!" His words were filled with undeniable certainty, as if mentioning the recording stone would solve all the mysteries.
Donghua, clad in a black robe, remained calm and composed, yet a subtle undercurrent swirled within his deep eyes. He exchanged a fleeting glance with Yaoguang, a momentary exchange that seemed to convey a thousand unspoken words. Yaoguang understood immediately. With graceful yet decisive steps, she stepped forward, her voice clear and firm: "With a recording stone, that's convenient. I'll go and return." As she spoke, her spiritual energy surged slightly, as if she were ready to depart immediately. She awaited only a slight nod of approval from Donghua before vanishing from sight and heading towards the forbidden area.
