Time had reverted to yesterday.
That day, the Imperial City was filled with various rumors.
Such was the state of the Imperial City these past days, an atmosphere that could not be changed in just a day or two.
People dared not to discuss openly those unverified matters; they were mere rumors. They could only talk in secret, yet it still brought a heavy and oppressive atmosphere to the Imperial City.
In such a situation, even the guards of the Imperial City seemed a bit distracted, whether they were gatekeepers or the patrolling soldiers on the city walls. There was a sense of sluggishness that hadn't been there before.
Thanks to this, no one noticed that, today, a Black Dragon appeared above the Imperial City.
It shuttled back and forth among the clouds, resembling a massive dark shadow.
From high above, it watched everything below with an ominous look in its eyes.
