Internally, only one tier 4 Emperor presided.

Jian Wushuang and Gong Miaoyi, upon entering the city, headed straight for the mining team.

The mountain range of the mine covered ten great states, and judging by the route, it was much closer to the Qingzhou continent than the Dongzhou continent.

In several great states near the mine, there were places recruiting miners.

It never stopped, every moment.

After all, relying solely on captured Emperors was simply not enough. Recruiting Emperor-level laborers was very difficult, often offering astronomical rewards but still unable to attract many.

Later, the Elders Palace came up with a solution.

Any Emperor wanted by the Law Enforcement Hall, as long as they signed up to mine for an era, could have their wanted status lifted, and there would be a reward.

Because of this initiative, it had attracted quite a few Emperors over the years.

And Jian Wushuang and Gong Miaoyi were among those who came in this way.

Before leaving, Jian Wushuang specifically selected a pair of Black and White Twin Auras.

These Twin Auras were both top-level tier 4 Emperors, cultivating a very special technique. When combined, they could unleash the power of peak-level tier 4.

They were quite famous in the Northern Territory.

Jian Wushuang obtained information about the two from Wu Zuo, lurking in a wilderness area of the Qingzhou continent.

To replace their identities, he had to eliminate them first, then search their souls to absorb their memories in order to disguise himself better.

“Here will do!” Jian Wushuang said indifferently, “These two are good at choosing places. This place doesn’t even have desolate beasts; hardly anyone comes here!”

Gong Miaoyi made a hand gesture, sealing off the nearby space.

“No traces should be left!” There was a more cautious gleam in Gong Miaoyi’s eyes than in Jian Wushuang’s.

After all, this was related to rescuing her father.

Hum!

The spatial shift instantly brought out the Black and White Twin Auras.

The two were shocked; they had hidden here, yet someone found them. It could only be said that they were unlucky.

One of the Twin Auras, a female Emperor smiled with dazzling bright teeth. Upon seeing the two unfamiliar Emperors before her, spoke loudly, “Senior figures, could you bypass my husband and me? We are willing to enter the mine!”

The reason for choosing to hide here was not only because it was relatively concealed but also because this place was very close to the mine. If things didn’t work out, they could simply turn and enter the mine.

Unfortunately, they made the wrong decision.

Jian Wushuang raised his hand, and Sword Qi traversed through, directly piercing the two individuals. Both their physical bodies and divine bodies were annihilated, leaving only the fleeing Origin Source.

“Why rush to exterminate, Senior? Spare our lives, and we are willing to serve you for a lifetime!” The white-clad Emperor had a strong desire for survival and kept pleading.

However, Gong Miaoyi’s eyes were already filled with killing intent, and no one could stop her.

These two were perfect substitutes, using their identities to enter the mine and then search for her father.

Not only would the Law Enforcement Hall not discover them, but they could also use this identity to further rescue people.

“She’s in your hands!” Jian Wushuang then moved directly in front of the Black Aura.

The opponent had an iron-faced expression. Although their physical body was destroyed, the iron-faced appearance remained, never revealing the original face.

Jian Wushuang’s ethereal large hand directly gripped the Black Aura and then another hand reached out, grabbing the iron face, giving it a strong pull.

Crack!

The opponent perished completely.

It surprised Jian Wushuang. This guy perished instantly after losing the mask?

This caught him off guard. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent’s Origin Source had not completely disappeared, Jian Wushuang activated the power of Devouring, swallowing all the shattered Origin Source into the Origin Source Sea.

“Black Hao!”

This was the true name of the Black Aura. However, with the shattering of the Origin Source and the collapse of consciousness, the memories obtained were all incomplete.

Only a rough estimation could be inferred.

Black Hao’s life could be described as extremely splendid.

When Dao Lord was a peerless genius of a certain sect, his stature could rival that of a tier 2 Emperor.

This prodigy of the heavens, however, fell into the demonic path, a fact that perplexed Jian Wushuang greatly.

Unfortunately, the memories acquired were incomplete; many crucial recollections lay shattered, impossible to discern.

“A person from the mortal realm!” Jian Wushuang’s gaze darkened.

The identity of this Black Hao was peculiar.

He hailed from a secret realm in the mortal realm.

The memories from the time as Dao Lord were relatively intact, situated within a sect in a secret realm of the mortal realm. After ascending to Emperor, the memories transitioned directly to those of the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, he inherited the supreme arts of the Black White Divine Palace, becoming the Black Aura.

Achieving the status of Emperor took a total of 100,000 years, reaching the top-level of tier 4 . This speed astonished Jian Wushuang.

Truly, a peerless genius.

A Dao Lord capable of rivaling a tier 2 Emperor; roughly equivalent to a tier 3 Emperor after the Dao Merge.

Within 100,000 years, advancing from a tier 3 Emperor to the peak-level tier 4 was comparable to ordinary Inheritors.

Although subsequent memories were somewhat fragmented, the secretive matters were lost, some individuals, and events were still known.

That would suffice.

Ample to confront the Elder Palace’s investigation and questioning. On the other hand, things proceeded smoothly for Gong Miaoyi; there were no masks or extraordinary artifacts on White Aura’s face.

After extracting all memories, Gong Miaoyi’s rising blood-colored power instantly obliterated the individual.

Jian Wushuang inquired curiously, “How much does the memory reveal about Black Aura’s background?”

He still held the iron mask in his hand, a material of exceptional rarity, surpassing even Innate Treasures. It couldn’t be activated or recognized, appearing no different from an ordinary mask when held.

Yet, it could establish a connection with Black Aura’s origin, suggesting hidden secrets.

Gong Miaoyi looked at Jian Wushuang with some surprise and replied, “It seems White Aura is Black Aura’s disciple. 100,000 years ago, White Aura was still a mortal, and Black Aura saved her life. Later, the two entered the ruins of the Black and White Divine Palace, inheriting the legacy of the Black and White Twin Auras. Subsequently, they jointly caused trouble for all living beings, with nothing particularly noteworthy.”

“Perhaps I’m overthinking it,” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

The surface of the iron mask showed no signs of issues. However, internally, it undoubtedly concealed some unknown force. Upon infusing it with his Life power, there was a faint movement, albeit subtle. Although small, Jian Wushuang could sense it.

Yet, currently, he lacked the leisure to explore the true purpose of the mask or unravel any peculiarities hidden within.

He still needed to tidy up the traces in this place with Gong Miaoyi before heading to the only city in the Qingzhou continent.

“Let’s go!”

Gong Miaoyi nodded and followed behind Jian Wushuang, heading towards the only city on the Qingzhou continent.

Only through the residence of the Elders in that city could they reach the mines.

The two moved swiftly. Despite disguising themselves as top-level tier 4 Emperors, they reached the city in less than three days, thanks to the speed of tier 4 Emperors.

“Qingzhou City!”

Black and White. They did not bother to wear any disguise, and they they boldly entered the city.
