Dance Of The Phoenix
107. Reward

"What do you mean!" Elder Ming was extremely upset. Who is that woman who dares to insult him!

The woman snorted, "If Your Majesty heard what you said just now, I doubt you can still see the sun tomorrow. Your words, have absolutely no respect for Her Majesty and Miss Gu. Is it after more than 40 years of living, that you're too old and long for the incarnation realm?"

"You ...."

"Only the elder who was demoted to his position, could already make such a bold comment. It seemed, Tianshuang Palace had actually experienced a decline. Or am I living too long in the Underworld, to the point of not knowing that the world has really changed?"

Elder Ming fell silent. Underworld? When viewed, the woman was at first glance similar to Bai Tianzhi. He had never been seen in the palace but possessed the physical features of the Bai Family that were so striking. Even Bai Youzhe did not have such a white mane.

"Well, my stupid niece must have been too busy to notice my arrival. He's been here a long time." The woman sighed lazily while leaning against the support of the chair.

He had only come today after hearing that Tianshuang Palace was attacked. At first he wanted to meet the old man to scold him for being too indifferent, but it turned out that these elders were more annoying than his own uncle.

The woman got up from the chair, walked to the front of the throne seat and stood in front of him. The pair of blue irises looked at the silent elders staring at him. While his red lips were pulled to form a slanted smile.

"My mother is Bai Qichang. Automatically, I should be the only elder of the Bai Family."

Everyone is surprised. They immediately remembered something about the woman who was now present in front of them all.

Bai Qichang was Bai Tianzhi—'s older brother The previous king— who had secluded himself to the Underworld. When he returned to Tianshuang Palace, the woman brought her daughter to visit and introduced her to the members of the palace.

His name was Xuan Yi. Despite not bearing the Bai clan, he possessed a strong physical trait towards the unique Bai Family and was recognized as a member of the Bai family. His strength was extremely strong and had passed down his strength to Bai Yue—daughter Bai Tianzhi— before returning to the Underworld for a long time. It makes sense that many do not recognize it.

While the reason for bequeathing his strength to Bai Yue was because of his body that was unable to withstand such a great power. Bai Yue herself had to suffer until she finally gave birth to Bai Youzhe and passed the power on to her. Fortunately, Bai Youzhe was able to bear it because of the dragon blood.

The strength of the underworld and the Mitian Plains were clearly much different. That was what caused Xuan Yi who was born from a woman who came from the Mitian Plains to be unable to accept the strength her father had inherited. If thinking of the past, this Xuan Yi was rather petty and dared to sacrifice the others for his own sake.

It was no longer a secret so none of the elders dared to deny Xuan Yi. At this moment, the careless history of Elder Ming was barely salvageable

"It seems, it's about time I propose this rearrangement of the already-unformed Tianshuang Palace." Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes, looking displeased.

"Without you telling me, I would've done it. Aunty need not worry, Tianshuang Palace will return to its original place."

A male figure entered the room along with his two subordinates who were following behind. The owner of the night blue iris that was exactly like Xuan Yi's was walking to the end of the hall where Xuan Yi was. His cold gaze did not change, whereas Xuan Yi began to display his bright smile.

Looking at the figure that came, suddenly everyone lowered their heads to pay their respects.

"Your Majesty."

"My boring niece, why not welcome my arrival? This aunt is so angry that she wants to smash all your bones!" Xuan Yi spoke exaggeratedly, whereas the one he spoke to only looked on with a flat face.

Seeing the unfriendly gaze of his own nephew, Xuan Yi laughed awkwardly. He stepped aside from his place, making way for Bai Youzhe to the throne.

"My niece, why didn't you tell me you had a very sweet and funny wife? Don't you think of me as your most understanding aunt? One more thing, you're even gonna be a dad, but don't tell me. I'm so hurt!"

Bai Youzhe closed her eyes, trying patiently to the useless ravings of Xuan Yi. Why did that woman have to come? He could have played around in the Underworld without worrying about anything else and had fun with the monsters instead of bothering him!

Then Xuan Yi recalled something. "Right, your woman miscarried." He spoke so lightly that it made the elders hold their breath.

Was that woman unable to filter her words at all! It was only fitting that he had not had a partner for decades!

"But that doesn't mean you didn't tell me. If it wasn't for the spy I put in the palace, how would I know the news of the palace was so detailed over the years? The birth and death of the Bai family is very important to me. Where is Bai Tianzhi? I have to speak seriously to her and not be ignored!"

The woman continued to talk at length until it made the hall become silent. Bai Youzhe simply closed her eyes, paying attention to her hearing.

If only he could silence her mouth so easily.

Xuan Yi if stopped would become more and more so and make a fuss. The only way is to ignore it. Bai Youzhe also did not want to make Xuan Yi choose to meet Gu Yuena and trouble her.

"The Linghun Hall's assault has made matters so great for Tianshuang Palace." Bai Youzhe opened her eyes, not wanting to continue paying attention to her ears and choosing to interrupt Xuan Yi's endless sentence. "Judging what I saw just now, it seems like there are many of you who have lost your identity."

Everyone held their breath longer. Their hearts beat in fear. Afraid that Bai Youzhe was angry over what had happened and exposed them to the sap.

Plus there was Xuan Yi. The woman will definitely add oil in the fire to enlarge it.

"Your courage is huge. Apparently my previous warning has not applied to you who are more 'experienced' than me. I underestimated you guys." Bai Youzhe's words made them all tremble. It's gonna be a bad thing.

"really. My niece, these people are so spoiled by my overly gentle uncle that they dare to violate everything that has been decided. The oppressor of my Bai family member, cannot be forgiven. Tianshuang Palace belonged to the Bai family, but some people of immense courage had assumed that Tianshuang Palace was within his control." Xuan Yi smiled slantedly at his red lips.

The heads of the elders were already buried so afraid of being seen by the aunt and nephew. Bai Youzhe did not say much, but Xuan Yi continued to speak his heart in a sarcastic manner.

Bai Youzhe raised her hand, using her strength to attract some people who had made her extremely angry. Not only did Elder Ming disturb Gu Yuena, but also the elders who agreed in Gu Yuena's suppression.

The black fog wrapped around their bodies without giving them time to talk. They were dragged just like that forward, right in front of the excited-looking Xuan Yi.

"Not only did it push the son-in-law into the abyss, but it did an inappropriate act that tarnished the reputation of the palace. You guys are really great. How many natural stones do you use to shop on the black market?" Xuan Yi smiled looking at those who were resting at his feet.

These people did not seem to know that the black market belonged to the Assassin Guild under Bai Youzhe's control. Bai Youzhe was indeed looking for a way to get rid of those who were increasingly daring to be arbitrary.

The more mistakes made, the more convinced Bai Youzhe was to kill them. Now, they had made her Nana meet that person and get hurt, she would not hold him back anymore.

"Nephew, your strength is getting better." Xuan Yi gave a thumbs up when he sensed Bai Youzhe's oppressive might. Unexpectedly, the power he inherited was extremely strong when combined with dragon blood.

It was not in vain that he sacrificed his sweet cousin.

In an instant, the aura within the hall became even more terrifying.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Gu Yuena looked at herself in the mirror. That beautiful face became puffy from crying all the time. It can't go on like this.

He must be able to accept all reality, must not be weak.

"Gu Yuena, you need to calm down," he murmured to calm himself down and close his eyes.

Once he felt calm enough, he washed his face and went out of the room to go to the palace. He heard Su Churan was still being treated at this place, so decided to visit first before returning to the palace.

He found the room where Su Churan was being treated. Opening the door, her pair of red irises found the woman lying on top of the bed while closing her eyes.

Is he sleeping?

"Xiao Yena."

Gu Yuena turned her head, then closed the door back and walked over to Su Churan. Su Churan had already worked so hard to protect her until it became like this. All of those injuries were also caused by him. He feels a bit guilty.

"I'm sorry." Gu Yuena said sincerely.

Su Churan smiled, then shook her head. "I should be sorry, can't take good care of you. I've heard the news. You okay?"

"I'm always okay." Gu Yuena pulled her lips forming a thin smile.

"Luckily, His Majesty came at the last moment. That guy didn't make it to take you away."

Gu Yuena did not reply anymore. I don't know what else to feel but guilt. But he didn't need to show it blatantly.

Recalling that person, he again felt familiar. Even until he arrived at the palace, he still thought about it. What is that person ....

"Which Xinyuan(?)"

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Since Gu Yuena will be angry if I kill you directly, then I will back it up." Bai Youzhe drew her strength against Elder Ming.

This made Xuan Yi unhappy. "Nephew, why do you have to be so gentle with a traitor?"

"Who did I say to be gentle?" Bai Youzhe disagreed. "I haven't even decided on a punishment."

No one dared to speak. The other elders and higher-ups that Bai Youzhe had targeted were now rendered lifeless in appalling conditions. Bai Youzhe did not need to move from her position to kill such small ants.

Only with the strength he possessed could he make those people die to dry as if their souls had been destroyed. Of course, Bai Youzhe used soul force to destroy them.

The absence of the bloody scene made Xuan Yi slightly dissatisfied. However, he was still happy to see those annoying people die. If the parasite is left alone, it will destroy its host.

This was the real Bai Youzhe. Both in the Underworld and the Mitian Plains, he killed without blinking even though it was a person who had worked for him for many years. He did not accept any kind of offence that could harm the palace and himself.

Elder Ming was slumped alone among the dried up corpses. Whereas the other elders who were not drawn by the black fog could only kneel down and bow obediently. They did not even dare to move a bit.

"Your Majesty, I have worked for generations for the palace, is this what I got?" Elder Ming was extremely frightened. Free to be silent, better throw anything that can save his life.

"Therefore, I give you face by simply lowering your office. But it doesn't seem like it's enough." Bai Youzhe spoke coldly.

"Only because of a woman, Your Majesty should not be blinded. This old one was indeed guilty, but it was all for the good of Tianshuang Palace!"

"Maybe if you had been quiet from the start, I wouldn't have pulled you into a hellhole." Bai Youzhe was unable to give a second tolerance. The black fog in his hand shot out, piercing through Elder Ming's body that shattered his dantian. His cultivation for so many years shattered in just a single blink of an eye.

"Let'sakh!"

"Thank you for not killing you now."

Destroyed cultivation, was the same as dropping him into a hellhole alive. It's worse than death.

A person who has bad intentions for his Nana deserves a hellish life.

Xuan Yi watched from the beginning to the end. Without any bloodshed, Bai Youzhe killed more than 10 of the palace's top brass and elders simultaneously. Moreover, uprooting the cultivation of the same Elder Ming had just dropped him to hell. He was quite satisfied with what his nephew did.

It's just, less terrible. Perhaps killing by destroying their limbs would satisfy him even more. Merely, Bai Youzhe killing wasn't for Xuan Yi, naturally wouldn't do that dirty thing despite wanting to.

It cannot stain the palace with blood.

"I reiterate for the last time. Once I find a breach for whatever reason, I'll kill him on the spot."

Bai Youzhe's words managed to make them all reply simultaneously, "The branch obeyed His Majesty's orders!"

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The result of the meeting quickly spread, causing a great uproar and the cold shades that accompanied the palace. In an instant, no one dared to speak carelessly. The palace became tighter.

Gu Yuena at the king's palace had not heard the news until finally a woman in a yellow sun dress ran towards the palace with a pennoon. Despite being held by the guards, he still barged through to meet Gu Yuena.

"Gu Yuena, you have to help my father! You can't just shut up like this while His Majesty will kill my father. I beg you to help him ...."

Ming Chin came at Gu Yuena just like that and grabbed Gu Yuena's hand as he pleaded. Gu Yuena who knew nothing looked at him confusedly.

"What do you mean?" tanyakanya.

"Your Majesty was furious and vented it at the elders. My father just did what he was supposed to do. His Majesty destroyed his cultivation and will alienate us. Gu Yuena, only you can persuade His Majesty to forgive my father. I beg ...."

Gu Yuena just understood what had just happened. Was Bai Youzhe so angry?

However, even though Bai Youzhe was venting her anger at the elders, what did that have to do with Gu Yuena? Elder Ming also repeatedly troubled him, it was karma for his own deeds.

Even Ming Chin had once nearly killed him. It wouldn't be that good to help someone who wanted to kill him.

"The palace thing, I can't interfere. Miss Ming better get back to pick up your father." Gu Yuena took off the woman's grip and was about to leave, but Ming Chin still took her in and held her hands together.

"Gu Yuena, I ask nothing of you other than to persuade Your Majesty. Your Majesty will only obey your words, I beg you to forgive my father. My father is my only family, I can't lose him."

Gu Yuena had actually lost more things. Hearing that, he was getting less and less concerned. She lost her baby, and the father and son received nothing in return? That wouldn't be fair to him.

"I've been kind enough not to kill you." Gu Yuena was already too careless. He also called the waiter. "Servant, Miss Ming is too shocked to lose her mind, take her back to where she should be to rest and don't let her out."

The servants hurriedly obeyed Gu Yuena's words, bringing Ming Chin who insisted on begging Gu Yuena to spare his father.

Gu Yuena just looked in silence. If it wasn't Ming Chin and Elder Ming, perhaps he would have agreed. But what is wrong is still wrong. They should receive their reward.

Just like Gu Yuena herself. He felt the reward for what he had done so far.

Karma will always exist without taking sides.
