The expressions of the two remained unchanged, but the coldness in their eyes was unmistakable. This was not merely a contest of strength; it was a clash of their cultivated powers under the constraints of rules, each pushing their limits against the other.
Without revealing any inexplicable abnormalities, the rules allowed for a blind eye to be turned. The reason the Phoenix Clan was so formidable was due to the multiple phoenixes born into it, starting with a level of cultivation that others would take a lifetime to achieve.
However, the three siblings of Yun Zhi Yue were no ordinary individuals either; their progress in cultivation was astonishing. If they were to unleash their full potential, they would not fear a one-on-one confrontation. What they truly feared was the depth of the Phoenix Clan's heritage.
In this standoff, constrained by the rules, Yun Yue Shi naturally felt no fear. As the two remained locked in tension, one of the twins suddenly grasped Feng Zuo's arm.
It seemed like an act that wouldn’t provide any real support, but that was far from the truth; Yun Yue Shi faced the combined assault of both opponents. Yun Shijiu let out a scoff and similarly grasped Yun Yue Shi's arm. The sound of clinking glasses grew louder, yet neither side could discern any signs of exertion.
Aside from the Feng Family, everyone else at the banquet was bewildered. Their expressions were well-managed; despite their evident effort, there were no visible clues to suggest anything amiss. Cheng Si’s pupils constricted—what was happening?
If the three siblings of Yun Zhi Yue were indeed extraordinary, how could the younger members of the Feng Family stand against them? There were doubts lingering in the minds of Nie Zhui and Nie Xi as well; they knew very well whether or not the Sister Three were behaving normally. What was going on with the Feng Family?
At that moment, Feng Rujiao approached with a smile: “What’s going on with you youngsters? You seem to know each other so well! Let’s gather privately later; there are too many people watching. Drink up!”
As she spoke, she placed a hand on Feng Zuo’s shoulder, appearing to be just a caring sister showing affection. However, Yun Yue Shi and Yun Shijiu’s expressions shifted slightly as their glasses visibly moved back toward themselves, as if they were obediently pulling back.
The mocking glint in Feng Zuo’s eyes was glaringly evident. Nie Langyuan began to feel uneasy; sitting at the table, he sensed something was off. So even the Feng Family had issues? It made sense why he had never gotten along with Feng Rujiao since childhood.
This wasn’t merely about face; in such clashes, whoever withdrew first would inevitably suffer losses. Yet if they pushed too hard, anomalies could arise. With so many people present, they could not disrupt the order of this dimension; otherwise, World Will would likely target them as well.
He intended to shake off Yun Shijiu after taking that hit, but in doing so, his fingertips accidentally brushed against Nie Zhui’s shoulder. In that instant, an unexpected connection formed between them—something intangible surged into Yun Yue Shi's body from Nie Zhui, crashing toward their opponents and causing a glass to shatter with a loud bang.
Feng Rujiao quickly withdrew, taking only two steps back without any further action.
Feng Zuofeng lay sprawled on the ground, looking as if he had been startled by a shattered wine glass, falling over in fright.
Yun Shijiu was visibly excited, thinking to himself that it was no wonder he was an elder; he still had his ways.
Yun Yue Shi paid no attention to the Feng Family, his heart in turmoil as he stared blankly at his hands. How could he possibly use the Heavenly Emperor's soul power?
He was Tai Chu Zhi Ling, who had encountered his sister in the Little World and awakened through her blood essence. He even possessed the inherited memories of Tai Chu, making it impossible for him to have any connection with the Heavenly Emperor.
Wait a minute.
Encounter?
Why did this encounter feel so coincidental? He and his sister happened to share the same attribute. Was it fate, or was someone orchestrating everything?
