The moment his words ended, the sound of breathing in the hall ceased, and a deathly silence ensued!
The legacy of the Dragon Palace, originating from the notes of Old Ancestor Shen, was somewhat known to various families through certain channels, and they had all roughly guessed that the Dragon Palace... possessed the Elixir of Immortality!
Yet no one had ever confirmed it.
After all, eternal life... defies reason. There's not a soul who wouldn't chase after it, but through endless eons of search, everyone understood that it was but a pipedream...
"Lord Chen, you sure do say 'eternal life' quite casually," someone finally spoke after a long silence. It was none other than Minister Pang, the new Chief of Staff of the Imperial Court. He gave Chen Qing a chilling look and said accusingly, "If the Dragon Palace truly has the art of immortality, why didn't the guarding clan you spoke of harbor such greed? Why didn't they achieve eternal life?"
