Yun Shijiu immediately grasped Yun Zhi Yue's arm, realizing that even if they didn't kill anyone at this time, the outcome wouldn't be much better. The voice from the Underworld silenced the bickering in the air, and the imposing gaze of the Imperial Realm fell upon their small courtyard where they were drinking and feasting.
Su Ye, Ji Wei, and Yue Qi appeared in the courtyard. Yue Qi wore a cold expression. "There's no need to go; the Heavenly Realm will protect you."
But I don't want the Heavenly Realm. I won't abandon my identity from the Underworld, even if it means suffering! Yun Zhi Yue waved her hand to open the Underworld Gate, preparing to see what awaited her in the Underworld.
Her arm was pulled back.
Yue Qi couldn't hold back any longer. "Are you reluctant to part with your identity, or is it someone you can't let go of? You chase after a person from the Underworld down below, constantly reincarnating."
At first, Ben Di thought it was a coincidence, then believed he was one of the Ten Yama Kings. In that lifetime, you sent Song Huai to the Underworld, and he actually killed Yan Luo to occupy the Ninth Hall. Who is he?
Yun Zhi Yue shook off Yue Qi's grip, her eyes sparkling with joy. "He is a man whose hand I long to hold, Yue Qi. Between us, only you have been left behind. I never intended to let you go, but I will let myself go."
From the day I inherited Meng Po's Position, I never considered leaving the Underworld. If I cannot live out my life in the Underworld as I wish, then being Soul Shattered in the Underworld isn't so bad either.
If I defy Ming Jun's order, there will be no place for me to hide. Although I may have bumped my head against you, my nature hasn't changed. If I choose a path, I will walk it to the end; the Underworld is my true home!
Hahaha! The familiar laughter filled Yun Zhi Yue with delight.
It was worth Shi Ye covering for you; hearing this made Shi Ye feel pleased. "Yun Zhi Yue, you are a qualified person of the Underworld. Rest assured; with Shi Ye around, who dares to touch you!"
Yun Zhi Yue looked towards the Underworld Gate, her face filled with joy. "You’ve recovered?"
Coughing slightly, Shi Ye replied, "I haven't fully returned to Half-Step Emperor Realm yet. Aren't you worried about being targeted? Waking up early just to support you?"
Yun Zhi Yue's smile froze on her face. "Half-Step Emperor Realm! Then why are you making such a fuss? It would be better not to come out and attract hatred."
"How can you speak like that? Shi Ye is here to protect you!"
Black Chains extended from the Underworld Gate, binding Yun Zhi Yue's wrists and dragging her back.
A previously unfamiliar voice from Imperial Realm spoke up: "Reincarnation! Since you're not from Imperial Realm, you have no place to speak here."
The Reincarnation Stone exploded in anger: "Mi Yin! Don't think Shi Ye doesn't know how you entered Imperial Realm. Without recognition from heaven and earth, how can one remain in Imperial Realm for long? You've strayed from your path!"
Upon hearing this, Mi Yin was struck by some painful point and erupted in fury; a deafening sound came from behind the Underworld Gate as a fight clearly broke out.
Having initially shown no resistance, Yun Zhi Yue reached the Mingfu Gate and immediately clung to its edge in shock. "Is it One Hall's Mi Yin Yan Luo asking for me? Wait a minute; this doesn't feel right."
She still remembered the thousand-year cold ice punishment; it seemed that One Hall was targeting her.
She had thought being summoned by an unfamiliar Ming Jun was merely about questioning her regarding Heavenly Emperor and that as long as she told the truth it wouldn't be too serious. But if she were captured by an unknown One Hall...
Moreover, Mi Yin wasn't from Imperial Realm either; yet now she had entered Imperial Realm while Reincarnation Stone insisted on saying she wasn't recognized by heaven and earth.
"Stop your cursing!" Yun Zhi Yue interrupted angrily. "I can't go to One Hall. Are you sure you can protect me?"
The Reincarnation Stone ceased its tirade. "That should be possible."
Yun Zhi Yue felt like spitting blood in frustration. "You’ve never been reliable! I’m not going. Hurry up and find a way to close the door!"
How audacious to defy Ben Jun; it seemed you truly wished for death!
The Black Chains surged, like countless steel needles piercing her body. Yun Zhi Yue felt her entire being tear apart, and in that moment of pain, she couldn't think of anything else but instinctively cried out, "Li Shang!"
The howl of the Shajian echoed through the heavens as the Wu Yue Sword was drawn.
