Li Cu jumped onto the stage, swiftly leaving The Office of Censors behind. Sang Qingxiao raised the Symbolic Barrier, enclosing the entire Lecture Platform.
"That's all for today, everyone disperse," Sang Qingxiao announced calmly. "No need to panic; I will maintain this state for a while longer. It should be enough time for you to leave and return home. The doors will be tightly shut, but if there is pushing and shoving, not only could there be injuries, but more people will end up stuck here."
The officials watching from the sidelines were urged to select a few individuals to maintain order. Sang Qingxiao called out, and indeed, several martial generals stepped forward.
However, danger loomed nearby, and a few timid individuals disregarded the situation, running around in a frenzy. Sang Qingxiao swiftly used a talisman to restrain them in the area closest to the Lecture Platform. No matter how much they screamed and struggled, they were not released.
Seeing this scene, the others quickly tucked away their hidden agendas and followed the guidance to exit. They soon dispersed, and once most had left, Sang Qingxiao finally released those troublemakers.
Some martial generals chose to stay behind, and Yong Huai and his companions arrived swiftly upon receiving news.
Observing the transformation of Wisdom Supreme, Yong Huai remarked, "Is he falling into madness?"
"Lord Yong has deep knowledge indeed; you noticed it," Master Hui Jue replied.
Yong Huai felt anxious. "Look at him; it's obvious! If we observe closely, it seems like he is willingly succumbing to madness. Miss Sang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take action! If we delay any longer, this demon's power will surge!"
Sang Qingxiao thought to herself that she was merely waiting for witnesses like him. Not only would they see the External transformation clearly, but they could also provide an explanation later when Puzhao Temple sent someone to inquire. She could serve as a personal witness.
Outwardly, Sang Qingxiao smiled and said, "It's a rare spectacle; let's observe more closely. Knowing ourselves and our enemy is crucial. Lord Yong, why not share this with your Demon Catchers? It's a ready-made teaching moment."
To Yong Huai, her smile conveyed confidence. With that confidence bolstering him, he relaxed and even teased her. "With their talents, they probably won't encounter such high-level demon hunting again; it would be pointless to discuss it."
"Miss Sang, if you wish to continue watching, I’ll take the lead to test the waters. If there's danger, you must assist me; I don't want to end up bedridden during the New Year."
Yong Huai bypassed Sang Qingxiao's talisman and struck Wisdom Supreme with a heavy palm. The force of his strike interrupted Wisdom Supreme's intense focus. Unable to dodge in time, Wisdom Supreme winced in pain and opened his furious eyes. He didn't pay attention to Yong Huai; instead, relying on his lingering clarity, he roared at Sang Qingxiao. However, his voice had turned into an unrecognizable howl—he could no longer speak human words.
Huo Qi leaned in to translate. "That bald donkey is cursing at you!"
"I'm not the main culprit; he's mistaken! I couldn't care less," came Yong Huai's nonchalant reply. "Huo Senior's skills are impressive."
"I'm just following your example; I accidentally surpassed expectations," Huo Qi feigned humility. "It took others months to create Half-Demons with little success; I merely flicked my pinky finger and achieved results in an instant."
"Wow! The process was quite flawless. If left unchecked, his level should be considerable. I wonder if Yong Huai can handle it."
"But isn't Huo Senior here as support?"
"Absolutely not! How could I rob you young folks of your training opportunity? I'm here only to ensure the Demon Seed is effective. Now that it has proven so, it's time for me to step back."
"I've recently established contact with the Chancellor as well; I've arranged for tea and chess at his place."
Sang Qingxiao interrupted him. "Today or perhaps for several days ahead, the Chancellor and Right Chancellor will likely be too busy; your son is currently occupied setting things up around town."
Huo Qi, upon hearing this, put away his joking demeanor and spoke in a low voice, "Court, has something serious happened?"
