I transmigrated to a chaotic world and became the sole player.

The combined pressure from three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would have shaken an ordinary eighth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator to their core, leaving them unable to control themselves. However, Lu Zhao possessed dual dragon energy, and his soul had been tempered by the sword intent of annihilation, far surpassing his peers. To him, this pressure was merely a gentle breeze.

His expression remained unchanged, and he even took a step forward, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Tong and the other two. His tone was still calm, yet carried an undeniable chill: "Rules? Although I joined the sect late, I am aware of its ironclad rules. The Enforcement Hall requires solid evidence to act. Deacon Zhou keeps accusing me of colluding with the demonic path and harming fellow disciples, but where is the evidence? Who reported me? What is the name of the whistleblower? Do you have any recording stones, communication talismans, or other evidence? Or are you saying that you, Deacon Zhou, can convict me based solely on your words?"

Lu Zhao's series of rhetorical questions were clear, logical, and to the point. He was not intimidated by the title of "Hall of Enforcement" but instead countered sharply, pointing out that the other party's accusations were "without evidence" and constituted "abuse of power."

Zhou Tong's face darkened. He had thought that bringing up the name of the Enforcement Hall and bringing two helpers would be enough to intimidate this ordinary inner disciple who had "gotten lucky," but he did not expect the other party to be so calm and sharp-tongued, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

"How dare you! You question the Hall of Enforcement!" The tall cultivator behind Zhou Tong shouted angrily. "Senior Brother Zhou says you're colluding with the demonic path, so you are colluding with the demonic path! What evidence do you need? Surrender immediately, or don't blame us for enforcing the sect rules!"

The short, stout cultivator said in a sinister tone, "Boy, I advise you to be sensible. Once you're in the Enforcement Hall, we'll have plenty of ways to get you to talk. Whether you're colluding with the demonic path or not will be up to us then."

This is a blatant threat! They're planning to resort to vigilante justice and force a confession out of you!

Lu Zhao's eyes turned completely cold. It seemed these three were determined to frame him and seize his contribution points and earth vein dragon crystals. The so-called "investigation" was nothing but a pretext. Once he was taken away and brought to the Hall of Enforcement, he would probably have no say in his own destiny.

"It seems the three of you are determined to use your power to coerce confessions?" Lu Zhao's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached their ears. "In that case, I'd like to see if the rules of the Enforcement Hall truly allow you to do as you please!"

As the last word fell, Lu Zhao's aura suddenly changed! A deep, restrained aura, yet containing both majesty and a sense of destruction, slowly spread out. He did not actively release his pressure, but that invisible aura made Zhou Tong and the other two feel a chill in their hearts, as if they were being stared at by some prehistoric beast.

"Eighth level of Foundation Establishment? No, this aura..." A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes. He clearly sensed that Lu Zhao was only at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, but at this moment, the feeling he got from the other party was even more dangerous than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator! Especially that faint but powerful pressure that made his spiritual energy somewhat stagnate, it was definitely not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess!

Could this person be hiding their cultivation level? Or perhaps they possess a rare treasure?

The arrow was on the bowstring, ready to be released. Zhou Tong's expression shifted, finally hardening into a stern look: "Stubborn fool! Take him down! If he resists, kill him without mercy!"

"Yes!" The two cultivators, one tall and one short, could no longer contain themselves and attacked simultaneously upon hearing the order! The taller cultivator brandished a blood-red longsword, its blade emitting a foul stench, and transformed into a streak of bloody light, slashing straight at Lu Zhao's head! The shorter, stout cultivator opened his mouth and spat out a small black banner, which swelled in the wind, from which several ferocious ghostly figures emerged, emitting shrill screams as they pounced on Lu Zhao!

The two worked together seamlessly, one on the left and one on the right, one forceful and one gentle, clearly aiming for a swift victory and to capture Lu Zhao in one fell swoop.

Faced with the combined attack of the two, Lu Zhao's eyes were icy cold. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his right hand sweeping across his waist, and a dark, inconspicuous longsword appeared in his hand. It was the black longsword he was used to.

There was no dazzling sword light, no earth-shattering momentum. Lu Zhao simply swept his sword horizontally in an extremely simple manner.

The hazy, gray sword energy spread out like inconspicuous ripples.

The crimson blade light at the forefront, upon encountering the hazy sword energy, melted and dissipated instantly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, without even causing a ripple. The tall cultivator's expression changed drastically; he felt the crimson longsword, connected to his mind, lose its spiritual power, letting out a mournful cry as it flew back, its blade now showing traces of rust!

At the same time, the several ferocious ghostly figures that rushed towards them were swept away by the hazy sword energy. As if they had been thrown into boiling oil, they emitted a silent, shrill scream, and their figures quickly became blurred and transparent before finally disappearing into thin air! The short, fat cultivator was hit hard, let out a muffled groan, and staggered back several steps. His face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that his natal magic weapon was damaged and his mind was affected.

One sword strike, shattering two spells!

Zhou Tong's pupils constricted sharply, his arrogant expression vanishing, replaced by profound shock. He clearly saw that Lu Zhao's sword strike, seemingly simple, actually contained an extremely profound sword intent, almost akin to the "Dao." That hazy sword energy carried an aura of annihilation and nothingness, capable of directly disintegrating and dissolving the opponent's spiritual power and supernatural abilities! This was no ordinary swordsmanship!

"You... what kind of swordsmanship is that?" Zhou Tong's voice was hoarse, and he subconsciously took a half step back. He asked himself, if that sword had been aimed at him just now, he might not have been able to withstand it so easily.

Lu Zhao stood with his sword in hand, his expression indifferent: "This is a sword technique bestowed by the sect, specifically for slaying those who disobey sect rules and act recklessly. Deacon Zhou, shall we continue?"

His words were impeccable, pointing out that the sword technique was bestowed upon him by his sect, implying that he was not a rootless drifter. At the same time, it also showed that he was not a pushover to be easily manipulated.

Zhou Tong's face turned pale and then red. Lu Zhao's strength far exceeded his expectations. Although he had the cultivation of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment and the status of a deacon of the Enforcement Hall, he might not be Lu Zhao's match in a real fight. In particular, that strange and annihilating sword energy made him extremely wary.

But if he backed down now, where would Zhou Tong's face be? Moreover, he had already agreed to the instructions of that "big shot," and if he messed it up, the consequences would be equally serious.

Just as Zhou Tong was caught in a dilemma and hesitated, a streak of light rushed over from afar and landed in front of Tingzhu Xiaozhu, transforming into a young cultivator wearing a white robe with the character "Zhi" embroidered on his chest. This person had a calm and collected aura, his cultivation was clearly at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and his sharp eyes exuded an imposing presence.

Upon seeing this person, Zhou Tong's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Lin!"

The newcomer was Lin Tian, ​​one of the captains of the inner sect's law enforcement team in the Law Enforcement Hall. He held a high position in the Law Enforcement Hall, possessed profound cultivation, acted justly, and was highly respected.

Lin Tian didn't even glance at Zhou Tong, his gaze falling on Lu Zhao, then sweeping over the two cultivators of different heights, their faces pale and their magical artifacts damaged. He frowned slightly: "What's going on? Fighting in front of a disciple's residence, what kind of decorum is this?"

Zhou Tong hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Lin, this man's name is Lu Zhao. A disciple reported that he colluded with the demonic path and harmed fellow disciples. We were ordered to investigate, but unexpectedly, he dared to violently resist the law and injured the enforcement disciples! Please, Senior Brother Lin, do us justice!"

They're turning black into white and blaming others for their own misdeeds!

Lu Zhao sneered inwardly, but remained calm and composed, bowing respectfully to Lin Tian: "Senior Brother, you are wise. I am Lu Zhao, and I have just returned from a sect mission. This Deacon Zhou brought his men here, without any evidence, falsely accusing me of colluding with the demonic path, and attempted to forcibly take me back to the Enforcement Hall. I argued my case, and Deacon Zhou then ordered his men to attack. I was merely acting in self-defense. As for injuring fellow disciples, that is utterly unfounded. I only managed to break the supernatural powers of two fellow Daoists; I did not harm anyone. There may be other fellow disciples who witnessed this; you can easily find out by asking them, Senior Brother."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian's gaze swept between Zhou Tong and Lu Zhao. Having been in the Enforcement Hall for so long, how could he not see through the trickery? He knew perfectly well what kind of person Zhou Tong was. As for Lu Zhao, he had also heard of him; he seemed to be a newly recruited inner disciple who had joined the sect a few years ago, but to complete a top-tier mission and bring back a mid-grade earth vein dragon crystal, he was clearly no ordinary person. Moreover, he had witnessed Lu Zhao's sword strike just now; the sword intent was profound, far beyond what an ordinary disciple could possess.

"Zhou Tong, do you have any evidence?" Lin Tian looked at Zhou Tong, his voice calm but carrying a sense of pressure.

"This... there is no conclusive evidence at the moment, but the informant is very certain of what he said. Moreover, Lu Zhao's origins are unknown, his cultivation has increased strangely, and he has been acting alone in the Fallen Dragon Abyss. His behavior is suspicious, so he should be brought back to the Law Enforcement Hall for a detailed investigation!" Zhou Tong said, forcing himself to speak.

"Nonsense!" Lin Tian's face darkened. "Arresting a meritorious disciple without any evidence or evidence, based solely on speculation? Who gave you the audacity? Is this how you apply the rules of my Enforcement Hall?"

Zhou Tong was reprimanded by Lin Tian, ​​his face flushed red, but he dared not refute, and could only lower his head, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Lin Tian ignored Zhou Tong and turned to Lu Zhao, his tone softening: "Junior Brother Lu, Zhou Tong was reckless in this matter. However, since someone has reported it, it is customary to inquire about it. Why don't you come with me to the Enforcement Hall for a face-to-face confrontation to clarify the matter and clear your name? What do you think, Junior Brother?"

These words were perfectly worded, rebuking Zhou Tong, giving Lu Zhao a way out, and upholding the rules of the Enforcement Hall, leaving no room for criticism.

Lu Zhao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Senior Brother Lin is very perceptive. I am willing to cooperate and go to the Hall of Enforcement to explain the situation and prove my innocence."

He could tell that this Senior Brother Lin was a truly impartial person, and that his cultivation and status were both above Zhou Tong's. Since the other party had offered a way out, he was happy to go along with it. Moreover, if this matter wasn't resolved, there would definitely be more trouble in the future. Rather than passively dealing with it, it was better to take the initiative and resolve the matter openly.

"Good, Junior Brother is very understanding." Lin Tian nodded, then glanced coldly at Zhou Tong. "I will handle this personally. Zhou Tong, the three of you come with me!"

"Yes." Zhou Tong dared not disobey and could only agree, but he hated Lu Zhao to the core.

The group arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall. Located on one side of the main peak of the Diyuan Sect, the Law Enforcement Hall was solemn and imposing. Lin Tian led Lu Zhao into a large hall called the "Confrontation Hall," which was where the Law Enforcement Hall handled disputes among disciples and conducted confrontations.

Several people were already seated inside the hall. At the head of the table sat a middle-aged cultivator with a refined face and piercing eyes, dressed in a purple robe. His aura was as deep as the sea; he was clearly a Golden Core elder! He was one of the deputy hall masters of the Enforcement Hall, surnamed Yan. To the sides below sat several deacons of the Enforcement Hall, all with cultivation levels at the late Foundation Establishment stage or the peak stage.

Clearly, this matter has alarmed the higher-ups of the Enforcement Hall.

Upon seeing Elder Yan, Zhou Tong was initially delighted, but then his heart tightened. He was delighted because Elder Yan had a close relationship with the "important person" who had given him the order, and might be able to help him. He was also worried because Elder Yan was an upright man who couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing; if he found out Zhou Tong was abusing his power for personal gain, he feared…

Lin Tian stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Disciple Lin Tian greets Martial Uncle Yan. Junior Brother Lu Zhao has been brought here."

Lu Zhao stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Lu Zhao greets Elder Yan and all the senior brothers in charge."

Elder Yan's gaze was like lightning, landing on Lu Zhao as if trying to see through him. Lu Zhao remained calm, allowing the other party to examine him. The True Dragon Hundred Transformations technique he cultivated was extremely profound, and his annihilating dragon aura was even more restrained. Unless one's cultivation level was far superior to his, or one cultivated a special pupil technique, it would be extremely difficult to see through his true nature.

After a moment, Elder Yan withdrew his gaze, his face revealing neither joy nor anger, and said calmly, "Lu Zhao, do you know why you were summoned here?"

"Reporting to Elder Yan, I had just returned to the sect when Deacon Zhou Tong, without any evidence, attempted to forcibly arrest me. To protect myself, I was forced to fight back. Senior Brother Lin Tian, ​​with his keen insight, brought me here for a confrontation to prove my innocence," Lu Zhao said loudly, briefly recounting the events without elaboration or omission.

"Oh?" Elder Yan looked at Zhou Tong. "Zhou Tong, you speak. Who is the whistleblower? What is the evidence?"

Sweat beaded on Zhou Tong's forehead as he forced a smile and said, "Reporting to Uncle-Master Yan, the whistleblower... was anonymous, leaving a letter outside the Hall of Enforcement. The letter stated that Lu Zhao secretly colluded with demonic cultivators in the Fallen Dragon Abyss, killing and robbing others, obtaining his wealth unjustly. His cultivation has increased strangely, suggesting he may have cultivated demonic arts. Seeing the letter's compelling arguments and its involvement with the demonic path, I knew it was a serious matter and went to investigate. As for evidence... my investigation is only preliminary; I haven't found concrete proof yet. However, Lu Zhao's attitude towards questioning at the Hall of Enforcement was defiant; he violently resisted the law and injured a fellow disciple, which is highly suspicious!"

These words downplayed the seriousness of the matter, absolved Lu Zhao of all responsibility, and instead pinned the blame for "violent resistance to law enforcement" on him.

"Anonymous report? Without any evidence?" Elder Yan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian bowed and said, "Uncle-Master, when I arrived, Deacon Zhou Tong was leading a group to attack Junior Brother Lu Zhao. Junior Brother Lu Zhao did retaliate, but only to break the opponent's divine power; he did not injure anyone. The surrounding disciples can testify to this. As for the letter of complaint, there was indeed an anonymous letter, but its contents were vague and mostly speculation, without any concrete evidence."

Elder Yan nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Zhao: "Lu Zhao, what is your explanation? In the Fallen Dragon Abyss, did you have any contact with demonic cultivators? And why did your cultivation increase?"

Lu Zhao was prepared and calmly replied, "Reporting to the Elder, I did indeed encounter demonic cultivators in the Fallen Dragon Abyss. They were from the Netherworld Sect and intended to kill me and steal my treasure, but I killed them in return. Fellow Daoists Ye Qingyi, Zhao Yan, and Li Yue of the Azure Wave Pavilion can testify to this. The cultivation technique I practice is passed down by my sect. My growth in cultivation is due to my experiences of life and death in the Fallen Dragon Abyss, which led to occasional insights, and also to the consumption of some spiritual herbs I found there. If the Elder does not believe me, you can examine my cultivation technique; there is absolutely no trace of demonic aura."

He recounted his encounter with the Netherworld Cult cultivators with a mix of truth and falsehood, since the three envoys were already dead and there was no way to verify it. As for the counterattack, given the strength he displayed, it was plausible. The three from the Azure Wave Pavilion could corroborate that he had been attacked by demonic forces, but they probably wouldn't reveal the details. As for the cultivation techniques, with the True Dragon's Hundred Transformations and the Annihilation Dragon Qi, unless one were to search the soul, who could discern the truth?

"Ye Qingyi of Bibo Pavilion?" Elder Yan's eyes flashed with a strange light, clearly indicating that he had also heard of this proud young woman of Bibo Pavilion. He pondered for a moment, then said to a steward beside him, "Go and invite the three fellow Daoists from Bibo Pavilion to come and verify this matter."

"Yes." The steward accepted the order and left.

While waiting, Elder Yan asked some more questions, which Lu Zhao answered one by one, clearly and logically, neither servile nor arrogant. Zhou Tong tried to interject several times, but was stopped by Elder Yan's sharp gaze.

Before long, the steward returned, followed by Ye Qingyi, Zhao Yan, and Li Yue. Their injuries seemed to have mostly healed, and their breathing was steady. They clearly knew the gist of the matter. Upon entering the interrogation hall, they first bowed to Elder Yan, then their gazes fell on Lu Zhao, with a hint of concern flashing in Ye Qingyi's eyes.

"Junior Nephew Ye, Junior Nephew Zhao, Junior Nephew Li, I'm sorry to trouble you three to make this trip." Elder Yan was still quite polite to the three of them. "Please tell me truthfully, did you see Lu Zhao in contact with demonic cultivators in the Fallen Dragon Abyss?"

Ye Qingyi stepped forward, gave a graceful bow, and said in a clear voice, "Reporting to Elder Yan, your disciple Ye Qingyi, along with my senior brothers Zhao Yan and Li Yue, were indeed ambushed by cultivators of the Netherworld Sect in the Fallen Dragon Abyss, narrowly escaping death. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Lu Zhao came to our rescue in time, allowing us to escape danger. To save us, Fellow Daoist Lu Zhao single-handedly drew away the powerful enemy, and later even killed a demonic cultivator, saving our lives. This kindness and virtue will be forever etched in the hearts of my two senior brothers. As for whether Fellow Daoist Lu Zhao colluded with the demonic path, I swear on my Dao heart that this is absolutely not true! Fellow Daoist Lu Zhao is a model of righteousness, hating evil as if it were his enemy, and would never associate with the demonic path!"

Her words were spoken with unwavering conviction, and she swore an oath with her Daoist heart, making them extremely weighty. Zhao Yan and Li Yue quickly echoed her sentiments, confirming that Ye Qingyi's words were true, and they also highly praised Lu Zhao's righteous act.

Elder Yan nodded slightly, his gaze toward Zhou Tong now carrying a chill.

Zhou Tong's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his back. He hadn't expected that Ye Qingyi and the other two would actually testify for Lu Zhao, and support him so strongly! Although Bibo Pavilion was not as powerful as Diyuan Sect, it was still a major sect in Zhongzhou, and Ye Qingyi was a true disciple of Bibo Pavilion, so her words were highly credible.

"Zhou Tong, what else do you have to say?" Elder Yan's voice turned cold.

"Disciple...disciple also received a report and handled it impartially..." Zhou Tong still tried to argue.

"Handle it impartially?" Elder Yan sneered. "Without any evidence, relying solely on an anonymous letter, how dare you trespass into a disciple's residence and attempt to forcibly detain a meritorious disciple? This is an abuse of power and a frame-up of a fellow disciple! According to sect rules, his cultivation should be revoked and he should be expelled from the sect!"

"Master Uncle, spare me!" Zhou Tong was terrified and knelt down with a thud. "Disciple knows his mistake! Disciple was confused for a moment and listened to slander. Please, Master Uncle, forgive me this time for the sake of my many years of service to the Enforcement Hall!"

Elder Yan remained unmoved, his face ashen. He glanced at the two cultivators, one tall and one short, who were already kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Lin Tian," Elder Yan said.

"Disciple is here."

"Zhou Tong abused his power and framed his fellow disciples. He is hereby removed from his position as steward and sentenced to ten years of solitary confinement in the Ice Cave to reflect on his actions. His accomplices shall be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane and have three years' salary confiscated, as a warning to others!"

"Yes!" Lin Tian replied, and with a wave of his hand, some law enforcement disciples stepped forward and dragged Zhou Tong and the other two, whose faces were ashen, away.

After dealing with Zhou Tong, Elder Yan turned his gaze to Lu Zhao, his tone much gentler: "Lu Zhao, this matter was Zhou Tong's personal act and has nothing to do with the Enforcement Hall. You killed the demonic cultivator and rescued your fellow disciples; you have done no wrong. On behalf of the Enforcement Hall, I apologize to you."

Lu Zhao quickly bowed: "Elder, you flatter me. This disciple believes that the Enforcement Hall is fair and just, and will not wrong an innocent person, nor will it let a guilty person go free. Zhou Tong's matter was his personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Enforcement Hall."

His words were well-chosen, giving Elder Yan a way out while also indicating that he had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Elder Yan's eyes flashed with admiration. This young man was not only quite strong, but his temperament and skills were also extraordinary. He nodded: "It's good that you think this way. You completed the top-tier mission and brought back a mid-grade earth vein dragon crystal, making a great contribution to the sect. You deserve a reward. In addition to the mission contribution points, I hereby grant you special permission to enter the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion and choose a cultivation technique or spell as a reward. Furthermore, if anyone dares to provoke you again without cause, you can come directly to the Enforcement Hall to find me."

The Sutra Repository has three floors! It houses the core inheritances and supreme techniques of the Earth Origin Sect. Ordinary inner disciples, without great merit, have no chance of entering! Elder Yan's reward is truly substantial! Moreover, his last sentence is like a protective charm for Lu Zhao.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Elder!" Lu Zhao was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude. Perhaps he could find more suitable cultivation techniques or secret methods for using dragon energy on the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

"Alright, you may step down now. Focus on your cultivation and do not disappoint the sect's expectations." Elder Yan waved his hand.

"This disciple takes his leave." Lu Zhao bowed and nodded to Ye Qingyi and the other two before turning to leave the interrogation hall.

Ye Qingyi watched Lu Zhao's departing figure, her beautiful eyes gleaming with admiration. This Fellow Daoist Lu was not only powerful and decisive, but he also handled the situation calmly and respectfully, even when facing a Golden Core elder like the Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. Furthermore, he received the reward of entering the third level of the Scripture Pavilion... Truly extraordinary.

"Junior Nephew Ye, you may all step down. You have all had a hard time on this trip to Dragon Abyss. Go back and heal your wounds as soon as possible," Elder Yan said to Ye Qingyi and the other two.

"Yes, thank you Elder Yan." Ye Qingyi and the other two bowed and took their leave.

Leaving the Hall of Enforcement, Lu Zhao felt little joy. Although Zhou Tong's matter was resolved, the person behind it had not yet been identified. Moreover, news of his acquisition of a huge amount of contribution points and qualification for the third level of the Scripture Pavilion would likely spread quickly, attracting even more envious people.

"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease," Lu Zhao sighed inwardly. However, he was not one to back down from trouble. He would meet force with force and water with earth. His immediate priority was to increase his strength. Only with sufficient power could he be fearless in the face of all demons and monsters.

"First, let's go to the Scripture Pavilion and see if we can find suitable cultivation techniques and secret arts. Then, we should prepare for Core Formation. Golden Core... Soul Nourishing and Spirit Refining Pill..." A determined look flashed in Lu Zhao's eyes as he rode his escape light and flew towards the Scripture Pavilion.

He didn't notice that on a pavilion not far from the Hall of Law Enforcement, a young man dressed in fine clothes with a delicate face was coldly watching the direction he had left, toying with a jade pendant in his hand, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Lu Zhao... is interesting. He actually managed to alarm Old Ghost Yan and even gained the qualification to enter the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion... It seems I need to change my approach." The effeminate man muttered to himself, a cold smile curving his lips.

Behind him, an old man stood bowing and whispered, "Young master, that good-for-nothing Zhou Tong has been dealt with. Should this old servant...?"

The effeminate man waved his hand: "No need. It's just a dog, so what if it's crippled? As for Lu Zhao, I'll personally play with him. Anyone who dares to touch what I've set my sights on will have to pay a price."

"Yes." The old man bowed and withdrew.

The effeminate man gazed in the direction where Lu Zhao had disappeared, a glint of greed in his eyes: "Mid-grade Earth Vein Dragon Crystal... and the clue to that Soul-Stabilizing Flower... Heh, this is interesting."
