Inside the Golden Silk Nanmu coffin lay a boy, perfectly still.

He wore the burial robes of a prince of the Former Dynasty, embroidered with Nine Pythons and Five Claws. His hands rested one over the other on his stomach, and his face was as peaceful as if he were taking an afternoon nap.

His skin was not the shriveled gray of a corpse. In the light of the eternal lamps, it had the almost translucent look of creamy white jade, with a warm luster flowing beneath it.

Above all, there was the aura he gave off: cold, noble, ancient. It blended perfectly with the atmosphere of this centuries-old Corpse-Transformation Tomb, as though he were its Formation Eye, the master of the Dragon Vein beneath the earth.

The Chief Steward, the Sixteenth Elder, and the Seventeenth Elder—three figures who could summon wind and rain in Linjiang Demon City—stood frozen, their eyes nearly popping from their sockets.

He had not been switched out after all.

Li Xiang lay in the coffin, his heartbeat forcibly suppressed to its lowest ebb, his nerves stretched to the breaking point.
