Within the Imperial Observatory, Venerable Luo's departure from the main hall had completely settled their stance toward Lin Baichuan.
Everyone dispersed, though they continued transmitting messages in secret, guessing whether Venerable Luo could subdue Lin Baichuan and recover the White Jade Dragon Pattern Drum.
"Venerable Luo is quite formidable, but I fear he may not be Lin Baichuan's match."
"That may not be so. Since Venerable Luo joined our Imperial Observatory, the number of times he has acted can be counted on one hand. No one knows his true strength. Besides, he has summoned four helpers. That goes without saying."
"Whether he succeeds or fails, we shall wait and see."
Within the Imperial Observatory, discussion continued without end. As they watched Venerable Luo's departing figure, everyone sank into thought.
At the same time!
Just as the Imperial Observatory was considering how to seize the White Jade Dragon Pattern Drum back from Lin Baichuan, Lin Baichuan was using Wind Thunder Wings to fly high above the nine heavens.
With a single flash, he crossed a million miles.
The laws of wind and thunder surged around him. Everywhere he passed, heaven-shaking storms erupted.
He transformed into wind and thunder, his speed so swift it made hearts tremble.
Flying all the way, he arrived smoothly at the imperial city of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Lin Baichuan stood atop the nine heavens, gazing at the vast and ancient city before him, stretching for who knew how many miles.
Ancient Dao Rhyme that made hearts tremble surfaced upon the massive city gates.
"So this is the imperial city of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Lin Baichuan muttered, "After being persecuted for so many years, it is finally time to settle this debt once and for all..."
His figure flickered, wind and thunder flashing around him.
