Chapter 3085 — The Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone circled ceaselessly in the air, casting forth dazzling golden light. Every member of the Dark Night Palace present was tense, hearts racing, and the Grand Elder herself held her breath.
What the Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone revealed would determine the future of the entire Dark Night Palace. If it failed to find an heir to the Dark Phoenix bloodline, then the Dark Night Palace was finished.
In truth, the stone did not circle in the sky for long—one might even say its flight was brief. Yet those mere ten-odd minutes felt to those present as though each day were a year. Even Zhao Qibing was somewhat nervous; after all, if the Dark Night Palace grew mighty, then he, Zhao Qibing, would grow mighty with it. And if the Dark Night Palace fell, how would he ever take his revenge on Wei Zhao?
So Zhao Qibing prayed silently in his heart that this time the Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone would succeed in finding an heir to the Dark Phoenix bloodline.
Gradually, the golden light upon the Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone dimmed and faded, and the stone began its descent.
Either the Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone had found an heir to the Dark Phoenix bloodline, or it had not—those were the only two possibilities, and the answer was about to be revealed.
With a resounding "whoosh," the Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone landed upon a point on the map. But wherever it landed, so long as it did not fall upon the point of origin, it meant an heir to the Dark Phoenix bloodline had been found!
"Found it, found it, Grand Elder, it's been found!" Zhao Qibing pointed at the map and shouted. In his eyes, the Dark Night Palace was about to rise, and he, Zhao Qibing, would rise along with it.
"What are the coordinates? Write them down and look them up on the computer!" The Grand Elder was also greatly excited. She had not expected it—it had truly been found! Besides the bloodline heirs of the Dark Night Palace, could there really be others in this world who carried the Dark Phoenix bloodline?
After all, the Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone could not be wrong. If it said there was one, then there most certainly was.
And now, checking the coordinates no longer required digging out the original maps—computers existed now, and the Dark Night Palace had adopted such high-tech equipment as well. One need only input the coordinates where the Dark Phoenix Guiding Stone had come to rest, and it could be pinpointed precisely to a certain city.
True, it was only the scope of a single city, but once the general area—that range of distance—was known, the Grand Elder could sense the presence of the Dark Phoenix bloodline heir, and all she need do was follow that sense to find them.
"Yes, Grand Elder!" No sooner had her words fallen than a disciple of the Dark Night Palace came forward carrying a laptop.
