"This voice, this scene—ordinary people could neither hear nor see them."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Qiu Yan looked up, his gaze falling on the pitch-black opening. He could catch waves of sinister aura spilling endlessly from within, faintly connected to a spot in the Imperial Palace. His nose twitched, and he detected a trace of blood in it.
But the next moment, the surrounding Dragon Qi and City Will converged like a tide, surging toward that black opening. In the blink of an eye, they sealed it shut.
With that, the Black Hole vanished.
From the Black Hole's appearance, to the aura it released and the sound it made, until the Dragon Qi and City Will buried and sealed it, only the time of a finger snap had passed. Had Qiu Yan not been nearby and happened upon it, he likely would not have noticed this strange phenomenon in such a short span of time—
