Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder - Chapter 530: Ch 530 - What did She say last night?

Chapter 530: Ch 530 – What did She say last night?

Clouds and mist swirled above the Divine Gate.

The figures of the Five Great Immortal Ancestors stood like towering mountains. They stood firmly atop the different spiritual pearls of the Yin Yang Array.

“National Advisor…”

An ancient voice descended. The Immortal Ancestors opened their eyes within the clouds. The heavy gates of the ancient palace slowly opened and released a dull, heavy sound.

A stunning figure in a vermilion dress arrived as promised. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with nine golden phoenixes. It fluttered with her imposing aura. She was dazzling and flamboyant. She carried a majesty that allowed no violation.

She moved with light, lotus-like steps. Under her feet, the gilded heels struck the palace floor with the weight of a thousand pounds. Beneath that red dress, her legs were wrapped in the burning flow of the Nine Tailed Phoenix fire. Every leap of the blazing flames caused ripples in the void. It made the space tremble as if overwhelmed by the burden.

The beauty raised her head slightly. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains. She looked toward the five Ancestors on the stone pillars. Her eyes were cold as a frigid pool. They were deep and bottomless. They looked like a wisp of hazy smoke on the horizon and held a vague, ethereal quality.

Her bright red lips pursued slightly. They outlined a cold arc. She carried an innate arrogance and a disdain for everything. It was as if nothing in this world was worthy of her attention.

Feng Changli.

Although the world called her the National Advisor, she undoubtedly possessed a charm that rivaled a female sovereign in the eyes of the five Immortal Ancestors at this moment.

Every official in the Great Dragon Dynasty knew the truth. The current Dragon Emperor Nina was merely a figurehead. Her Honored Master Changli was the true master manipulating everything behind the scenes.

“The Advisor owes us an explanation regarding that evil spawn.”

The scar-faced old Ancestor of the Sword Sect spoke first in a deep voice. Perhaps he felt slightly displeased by her imposing aura.

The beauty in the red dress gradually stopped in the very center of the Yin Yang Array below the cloud platform.

Rumble.

Changli’s subordinates raised a massive precious lotus out of basic etiquette. The lotus floated up. It elevated the beauty, who held the status of the Dragon Emperor’s Honored Master, to a height just below the Five Great Immortal Ancestors for their dialogue.

Changli did not care about this detail.

She looked at the Sword Sect Ancestor ahead. She gently closed her eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

“He is Ilya’s child.”

“I promised Ilya to raise Yino. No matter what the world becomes, I will protect his life.”

Changli continued to use the guardian narrative in front of the Five Great Immortal Ancestors.

She had prepared these words long ago.

She truly felt fortunate that Yino was Ilya’s child. Without this blood relation, it would have been difficult for Changli to explain herself to the world. Why would she travel a thousand miles and offend the Divine Gate just to protect Yino?

“Ilya…”

“Lady National Advisor. You have strategized for our Great Dragon Dynasty for a thousand years. Yet it seems you still cannot let go of the grudges from a millennium ago.”

This time, the child-faced Ancestor of the Wuji Sect spoke with a cold sneer.

Changli remained unmoved.

She did not mind bearing the suspicion of colluding with the Phoenix Clan if it could weaken the presence of Yino’s special Heavenly Mandate.

Changli owed Ilya anyway.

“History can testify my heart. I have a clear conscience. There is nothing to prove.”

Changli stood with her hands behind her back.

“Good! What a clear conscience!”

The veiled Immortal Ancestor of the Liuli Sect immediately became angry.

She secretly clenched her fist. “That bastard killed two Chosen Ones from my Immortal Sects. Is Lord National Advisor not worried about the rise of my Immortal Sects? Are you eliminating hidden dangers for that puppet Dragon Emperor you control?”

“Hmm. So what if I am?”

Changli’s face did not change. She only gave a faint cold sneer.

The Great Dragon Dynasty respected the True Dragon in name. The human race was the main body of the populace. Humans and dragons shared a common hatred for other demon races, including the Phoenix Clan.

But how could the human race be willing to remain under the command of the Dragon forever after a thousand years?

Changli was the National Advisor. She had assisted the old Dragon Emperor back then. She naturally understood the secret struggle between the Five Great Immortal Sects and the imperial court of the Dragon Court.

However, the statement remained true.

The accusations from the Five Immortal Sects and the Lin mansion were insignificant compared to Yino’s true value. Changli did not mind bearing this hatred for him.

“Lord National Advisor. Is this your attitude?”

The old man from Wuji Sect spoke in a deep voice.

The sea of clouds in the entire Divine Gate Palace suddenly became silent as these words came out.

Changli stood alone under the divine might of the five Immortal Ancestors. The Nine Phoenix Fire surrounding her was suppressed slightly. However, the charm between the brows of the dimension woman did not droop in the slightest.

Changli did not speak. She simply closed her eyes and focused.

“Since Lord National Advisor is unkind, do not blame my Divine Gate for being unjust in the future!”

The Sword Sect Immortal Ancestor spoke coldly.

“Oh my~ Please do.”

Changli smiled faintly. She opened her phoenix eyes as if she had heard something amusing.

“You…”

She looked at the old Sword Ancestor who had the worst temper. She spoke coldly. “However. The Old Ancestors here should know the rules of chess in this world.”

“The bottom line of this lady is not high. When juniors fight, manipulate within the original Heavenly Mandate lines. Those above the Immortal Realm shall not forcefully intervene in the game. If played this way, this lady is willing to admit defeat. I will not personally intervene to protect my own like today.”

“Otherwise…”

“If there is another incident where a strategist enters the game personally to flip the board, do not blame this lady for ignoring the rules.”
