A few minutes ago, inside the Imperial Palace.
Li Qingping, holding the Divine Concealment Umbrella, slowly walked towards the King's chambers with Cezar, and after a few seconds, they stopped at the entrance of the room.
Unexpectedly, the King's chambers were completely empty. The old King lay on the bed with hands folded, eyes open. At this moment, a bone-white staff and a compass lay beside him.
Cezar recognized these two items, the former being the "White King's Staff," symbolizing supreme royal power, and the latter being the notification device of the "Royal Court Hall."
Before falling into slumber, the old King had mentioned to him that if someone invaded the Royal Court Hall, the compass would briefly awaken him.
In times of urgency, the King could even use the compass to destroy the Royal Court Hall to prevent the generational Anecdotes preserved within from falling into the hands of thieves.
