In a closed and quiet chamber, a lamp quietly glows.
This lamp is extremely strange. It has no wick and no lamp oil, yet its internal flame seems to burn out of thin air, never extinguishing.
That flame also differs from ordinary fire. It is not crimson but a ghostly blue, like a phantom flame.
"Whoo~"
Suddenly, a gust of wind, from whereabouts unknown, swept past the flame, its sound so faint it was almost imperceptible.
The flame, originally leaping and lively, was extinguished in an instant.
The entire chamber thus fell into utter darkness.
"Boom!"
The next moment, accompanied by a loud noise and a surge of formidable energy, a man with a terribly grim expression burst into the chamber.
When he saw the lamp, now completely dark and devoid of any light, his eyes quickly filled with bloodshot veins.
Without another word, the man held the lamp in his hands and dashed out of the chamber.
A moment later.
In the imperial court of the Yun Hao Empire.
