Yun Zhi Yue parked the car by the roadside, gazing at the lifelike Phoenix Totem in the distance. Anyone who had lived in the Heavenly Realm knew what that totem represented. The territory of the Phoenix Clan was one that all immortals avoided.
In the entire Heavenly Realm, only Shen Long and the Phoenix Clan could command such respect simply by their racial totem. Suddenly, she understood why World Will had sent her to the capital for cleaning. All these years, she had been limited to sweeping in Yuan Cheng, not just to keep her from causing trouble, but perhaps for something more.
A knock on the car window interrupted her thoughts, and a man with an aura as pure as a lotus flower entered the passenger seat. He wore a light-colored tailored suit, his brows resembling distant mountains, exuding an air of aloof elegance. His eyes were a pale hue, and his lips were softly colored.
Yun Zhi Yue found herself unable to look away from this blue lotus blooming amidst the murkiness. However, she couldn't help but wonder: Who are you, big brother? Did you get into the wrong car?
The long fingers beneath his suit pointed toward the Phoenix Totem. That place belonged to the Feng Clan, named Feng Hang in hopes of receiving blessings from the phoenix. Every aircraft that took off was expected to land safely.
But unexpectedly, the phoenix truly descended, bringing with it calamity—the annihilation of an entire clan. All members of their family perished in spirit and soul because the Phoenix Clan sought to usurp their clan's fortune and smuggle their people into the lower realms.
Yun Zhi Yue's heart sank with realization; things were worse than she had imagined. The implication of smuggling down to the lower realms meant that her entire family had been replaced by the Phoenix Clan. How many opponents did she now face? If she hadn't been stuck sweeping floors before, arriving in the capital first would have been tantamount to seeking death!
Damn it! This is like someone taking a dump on my head! Is World Will some kind of ninja turtle?
Yun Zhi Yue cursed under her breath, and a chill filled the car as she met the man's cold gaze. She paused for a moment before asking, "May I know your name and your position?"
"My name is Ye Lian," he replied calmly. "I am the second son of the National President and currently serve as Minister of Propaganda in the National Assembly. It was I who brought you to the capital and concealed your whereabouts along with your siblings."
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes widened in shock. "You are World Will? Your will has taken human form? Am I dreaming?"
Ye Lian replied sarcastically, "When the Phoenix Clan descended over a decade ago, I thought I was dreaming too. But soon enough, the tearing sensation from reversing dimensions shattered my body, and pain reminded me that this was no dream."
"The Heavenly Realm Underworld transcends countless dimensions. If I make a mistake, I will naturally acknowledge it; however, for countless years I have diligently watched over these dimensions only to be harmed by those from the Heavenly Realm."
"They came here looking for someone. When I realized you were their target, I immediately concealed your whereabouts. All these years I've had you sweeping floors so that I could wait for an opportunity to reincarnate into a more convenient identity."
Yun Zhi Yue swallowed hard; this was someone who would go to great lengths when pushed into a corner.
Desperate times call for desperate measures; it was best not to provoke him further. "I understand this favor you've done for me. Just tell me what you want me to do."
Ye Lian spoke in an eerily calm tone, uttering words that made Yun Zhi Yue feel he had lost his mind completely.
Invading my dimension without reason and destroying my rules naturally warrants a price on your life. Yun Zhi Yue's first reaction was: This is impossible! Even if their physical bodies are connected to the heavenly realm, executing such a plan would be extremely difficult; you can't possibly kill them all.
For me, it is impossible, but with you, it becomes very likely. You are Meng Po, and the Nai He Bridge is specifically designed for souls as an Underworld Artifact. As long as you summon the Nai He Lock to bind their souls and bodies, death in this realm would lead to the annihilation of their souls.
Yun Zhi Yue gasped, shaking her head like a rattle drum.
