908: The power of the demon god, with scales of seven colors.

...

Xie Weilou stared at the white scale on Shi Qingxuan's hand.

Aside from the color, this scale was identical to the azure scale on Elder Gu's hand!

Shi Qingxuan said, "There are some things I don't need to hide from you. This white scale is actually related to the demon god stone of my Zhongzhou Academy. Anyone who comprehends the Demon God Power from the demon god stone will develop a unique demon god totem. When the comprehended Demon God Power is deep enough, the totem can transform into a scale."

She added, "So far, only five people in Zhongzhou Academy have comprehended the Demon God Power from the demon god stone, and I am one of them."

This Demon God Power is extremely terrifying. Those who comprehend the Demon God Power, once they use it, can drastically increase their strength, making their combat power far surpass others at the same level.

More crucially, comprehending the Demon God Power has no side effects other than the totem and scales growing on the back of the hand.

Xie Weilou asked, "Is there any significance to the color of the scale?"

Shi Qingxuan stated plainly, "The scales are divided into seven colors."

"Seven colors?" Xie Weilou narrowed his eyes.

Shi Qingxuan said, "The scale colors are divided into seven: blue, purple, azure, red, black, white, and gold. When the comprehended Demon God Power is deep enough, the totem transforms into the most basic blue color."

"As the comprehension of the Demon God Power gradually strengthens, the color of the scale will also change. Over the course of a hundred years, my scale has changed from blue to white, reaching the sixth stage."

"So, the color of this scale is not fixed?" Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow.

Since the color of the scale can change, the color of the scale on Elder Gu's hand, which he obtained from the memory of the Twin Sons, might also change.

It could be azure, or it could be other colors... "It is not fixed." Shi Qingxuan shook her head.

Xie Weilou pondered for a moment: "Miss Shi, among the other four people who comprehended the Demon God Power, whose scale do you think might be azure?"

Shi Qingxuan stated plainly, "Currently, only three people have had their totems turn into scales. Besides me, there is the Marquis Zhenyu and Prince Qing. As far as I know, Prince Qing's scale happens to be azure, having reached the third stage."

"Prince Qing..." Xie Weilou looked at the chessboard in front of him, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Previously, Cloud Above Stream of Prince Qings Estate invited him onto the dust fate painted barge, and soon after, Nether Princess launched an assassination attempt.

Now that Shi Qingxuan had also informed him that Prince Qing's scale was azure, things were getting interesting.

As for the Marquis Zhenyu, Xie Weilou had seen him in the City before, and the scale on his hand was black!

Judging from the current situation, Prince Qing had the greatest suspicion.

However, one cannot judge a matter based only on appearances. Without concrete evidence, anyone could be a suspect.

Shi Qingxuan stared at Xie Weilou: "Fellow Daoist Xie, do you have a conflict with the person who possesses the azure scale?"

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "There is no major conflict, but that person possesses a Heaven-Defying supreme treasure, and I have been tracking the whereabouts of that treasure..."

"A Heaven-Defying supreme treasure?" Shi Qingxuan showed a flicker of interest.

Xie Weilou did not answer the question. He stood up: "This game has concluded for today. Thank you, Miss Shi, for the information. This Xie must take his leave now!"

"Very well." Shi Qingxuan nodded.

"Farewell!" Xie Weilou took Xie Buxian and flew away.

Since the color of the scale can change, Shi Qingxuan's suspicion naturally cannot be ruled out.

This woman gave Xie Weilou a peculiar feeling, but he could leave her for later. He needed to investigate Prince Qing and the Marquis Zhenyu first, hoping for greater discoveries.

After Xie Weilou left, Shi Qingxuan's expression immediately became cold and detached. She glanced at the scale on the back of her hand, touched it lightly, and a trace of gloom appeared in her eyes.

An old man quietly appeared beside her. He bowed to Shi Qingxuan and asked, "Vice Dean, should I send someone to eliminate him?"

Shi Qingxuan said with deep eyes, "Then kill him!"

The old man immediately replied, "Your subordinate will attend to it now."

"Wait!" Shi Qingxuan pondered briefly, then said, "Forget it! This young man is not simple and difficult to provoke. Let's keep him for now! What was the result of the people sent to kill the Longevity Saintess?"

The old man whispered, "They were completely wiped out."

"The Saintess of a Holy Land is naturally not simple. Have the Lamplighters take action." Shi Qingxuan said expressionlessly.

"Understood!" The old man bowed and flew away.

--------

After leaving Zhongzhou Academy.

Xie Weilou and Xie Buxian walked on the main street. He said to Xie Buxian, "Buxian, you should return to Hongru Academy first."

"Alright, Big Brother." Xie Buxian nodded and quickly departed.

"..." Xie Weilou walked toward the east of the City with his hands tucked into his sleeves. He wondered if the Marquis of Eight Desolations had investigated any information, and he needed to go check.

Not long after, Xie Weilou arrived at the Marquis of Bahuang's Residence in the east of the City.

Inside the residence, in the main courtyard, the Marquis of Eight Desolations was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

"Greetings to the Marquis of Eight Desolations." Xie Weilou stepped forward and bowed.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations smiled and waved his hand, "No need for formalities. Sit down and have some tea."

He poured a cup of tea for Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou sat down beside him, picked up the fragrant tea, and took a sip.

"Did you go to Zhongzhou Academy?" The Marquis of Eight Desolations looked at Xie Weilou.

"I went to investigate Shi Qingxuan." Xie Weilou stated plainly.

"The Elder Gu of the Heavenly Hall is definitely not her!" The Marquis of Eight Desolations smiled faintly.

"Why?" Xie Weilou asked in surprise.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations laughed and said, "She could be anyone, but she absolutely cannot be a member of the Heavenly Hall. Have you heard of the Third Watch?"

"The second-ranked assassin organization in the Eastern Wasteland?" Xie Weilou thought of the group who had previously attacked the Longevity Saintess.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations said, "Shi Qingxuan is the second-in-command of the Third Watch!"

"She is a member of the Third Watch?" Xie Weilou's expression was indescribably strange.

The Vice Dean of Zhongzhou Academy is also the second-in-command of the second-ranked assassin organization? This news is quite shocking.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations laughed and said, "The Third Watch is an assassin organization that has existed for a long time, but a hundred years ago, the Heavenly Hall wanted to unify the Eastern Wasteland's assassin world and demanded that the Third Watch submit. The Third Watch naturally refused and was ultimately besieged by the Heavenly Hall, suffering heavy casualties, which is why they chose to go into hiding!"

He took a sip of tea and continued, "The Eastern Wasteland Imperial Family provided the Third Watch sanctuary. The Third Watch now belongs to the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty. Shi Qingxuan also leaped from being a hidden figure to the Vice Dean of the Central Imperial Dynasty. She has a deep hatred for the Heavenly Hall, so it is impossible for her to be a member of the Heavenly Hall."

The Eastern Wasteland Dynasty, in terms of foundation, is definitely above the various Holy Lands. It hides many secrets, and numerous ancient and mysterious existences are concealed within the Imperial Dynasty.

However, in a big forest, all kinds of birds exist, which is why various factions emerged within the Imperial Dynasty, and why there are some members who are not clean.

"If it's impossible for her to be that Elder Gu of the Heavenly Hall, then the current candidates for Elder Gu are the Marquis Zhenyu and Prince Qing."

Xie Weilou showed a smile on his face. The answer was getting closer to him, and many things were about to surface.
