Hidden Clarity Charm
"Baxa, you know in this situation, you need to present evidence!" First Prince Brandon Xiao said.
Baxa stayed silent, saying nothing.
"Actually, there's no need to ask Baxa," the Celestial Empress said at this moment. "Since Sean Shaw is here, just ask him!"
The Gods hadn't seen him at Drake Abyss for a long time.
Especially those who hadn't fought him—it had been a whole century since they'd seen him.
He stood quietly in an inconspicuous spot, not saying a word.
He was no longer dressed in the ornate robes of an imperial prince, just a simple black robe with red trim.
Yet, somehow, his presence was even stronger than it was a hundred years ago.
Maybe it was because he’d grown even more handsome.
Or maybe he’d just gotten colder and steadier.
Or maybe it was just because the Demon Emperor’s reputation was too overwhelming.
Anyway, the moment he appeared in the Celestial Hall, all eyes were already on him.
Especially the goddesses and immortals—the more they looked at him, the more their hearts fluttered. Every single one was lovestruck.
Now that the Celestial Empress had called him out, Sean Shaw just replied coolly, "What do you want to ask?"
"Ask you what you did with my Thunder-Heaven Void-Breaking Chain!" The Celestial Empress snapped.
Sean, like Baxa, fell silent.
"Mother, Brother." At that moment, Henry Xiao stepped forward and said, "Leo Li and I saw it with our own eyes—Sean Shaw used the Thunder-Heaven Void-Breaking Chain to summon ancient tribulation lightning and break the Dragon-Coiling Heavenly Gang Array. He stole the chain, obviously to release Bianca Whitefan!"
The moment he said this, all the Gods looked terrified.
The Celestial Empress was even more furious, pointing at Sean and shouting, "You disgrace! For Bianca Whitefan, you kidnapped your own elder brother, who’s still missing! Now you want to let Bianca out? What are you trying to do—slaughter everyone in Drake Abyss?"
The Gods of Drake Abyss immediately started chattering.
"His murderous aura is just too much!"
"Exactly! Even if he didn’t massacre the city, sooner or later he’ll plunge the whole world into chaos!"
...
The Celestial Empress turned to Brandon Xiao and said, "Brandon! Why haven’t you arrested those two troublemakers yet? What are you waiting for?"
Brandon Xiao looked at Sean, about to speak, when a soft voice piped up: "First Prince, may this little immortal say a word?"
Everyone turned to look at Lily Bai, who always seemed to blend into the background.
"Go ahead," Brandon Xiao said.
Lily Bai said, "I can prove that Baxa didn’t steal the Thunder-Heaven Void-Breaking Chain."
"Oh? How can you prove it?" Brandon Xiao asked.
"Young Lord Adrian Drake has a talisman on him!" Lily Bai pointed at Adrian.
Adrian looked completely confused. "What talisman? What do I have on me? How come I don’t know anything about this?"
Lily Bai cast a spell, pulled out the talisman, and broke its invisibility. The talisman paper appeared before everyone.
The Celestial Empress’s eyes flickered—Lily Bai could actually extract a talisman like that?
"This is a Taiqing Clarity Charm! It must be what recorded Young Lord Adrian Drake’s meeting with Baxa," Lily Bai said.
"Who would've thought. So it was you framing me, Adrian!" Baxa said coldly.
"It wasn’t me! Someone else put that talisman on me!" Adrian glared at Brandon Xiao. "First Prince! The evidence of Baxa showing up in Drake Abyss—you didn’t get that from me, did you?"
Brandon Xiao frowned and shook his head.
"Then who gave it to you? Whoever did is the one who planted the talisman on me!" Adrian looked ready to fight. "Can you tell me who it was?"
