Chapitre 55: The Unknown Price

Inside the Qing Yin forest,

A man in a dark blue robe looked around the burnt forest with a complicated look in his eyes. As he walked across the clearly man-made path through the messy area, his expression turned more and more sober. With a sudden thought, he lunged down, picking up a small rock from the ground. 

The Whispering Rock!

Keeping his eyes on the seemingly ordinary stone, he summoned his Phoenix Scepter. As the glowing jade shaft manifested itself into existence with its golden phoenix wings gently fluttering at the top, he waved his hand through air, guiding its glowing light towards the stone.

The stone shattered accurately into two equal parts, revealing the elegant white pearl like even smaller stone underneath. 

"Any clues?"

 The young man with long silver hair, calmly transferred the stone inside his inventory before slowly turning around. 

"Father." He calmly greeted with a respectful bow, clasping his arms together.
