Chapter 2802  Rectification?

Inside the palace's inner hall, a black-skinned spirit threw her head up, causing jet-black hair in loose waves to flip and cascade down her back and shoulders in a smooth manner.

Underneath the moonlight, her dark skin shone like a reflective surface, giving her a look that invoked the term black jade beauty in the minds of others.

This black jade beauty's face appeared to be strikingly beautiful, with high cheekbones, a small nose, and full, sensual purple lips. Her eyes were almond-shaped and shining white and seemed to hold a deep, almost hypnotic power. Her long, jet-black hair flowed in loose waves down her back and was adorned with delicate purple flowers that contrasted with her dark skin.

She appeared to be naked but was instantly clothed in purple robes by another person beside her.

This spirit turned to look at that person and opened her full lips.

"Are you my master…?"

Yilla Zyrus couldn't help but lightly smile as he saw her Mystic Moonlight Cloud Spirit finally take shape and become fluent in communicating her thoughts. After all, a Heaven-Tier Spirit would find it extremely hard to possess consciousness in the Immortal Stage.

"Yes." She spoke, causing the Mystic Moonlight Cloud Spirit to look away.

"You're unworthy."

Yilla Zyrus's lips parted, not expecting to hear that, but before she could reply, the Mystic Moonlight Cloud Spirit continued.

"But I like you."

This instantly put a wide smile on Yilla Zyrus's face. She reached out her hands, "Come to me. Your cultivation fell to the Immortal Stage, making you vulnerable."

*Boom!~*

Abruptly, the dark veil she put up around them was shattered, and many elders rushed to surround them.

*Vrmmm~*

A darkness sphere suddenly formed around the Mystic Moonlight Cloud Spirit, trapping her while causing Yilla Zyrus's expression to change before she yelled out.

"What are you elders doing!? Darkshade is my spirit. How dare you all try to capture her!?"

But despite her words, the Elders paid no heed, appearing to want to take Darkshade into custody no matter what, perhaps to be traded off.

"Are you kidding me? I'm a heavenly genius of the Zyrus Family. You can't treat me like this!"

This thought made Yilla Zyrus furious, causing her to bellow out again.

Abruptly, an old man appeared beside her, causing Yilla Zyrus's eyes to flicker in joy as she hurriedly bowed to this man.

"Father, please help me get back my Mystic Moonshadow Cloud Spi-"

"Yilla."

The Grand Elder suddenly cut her short. "Look at the mess you have caused outside. I am very disappointed in you."

Yilla Zyrus's gaze shook, her heart sinking.

"If you said anything about this Mystic Moonshadow Cloud in all these years, I would not have the need to rely on Klein Zyrus and instead focused on nurturing you, my family. However, you… never trusted me and distanced me from the very beginning, but now you're asking for my help? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Hearing those words, her heart that had sank had completely submerged.

"Follow your Patriarch's commands. Even if I wanted to do something, I can't do anything about this matter as most of my influence is restricted by other Grand Elders due to Klein Zyrus's failure and the many sin quotas we used to nurture him."

Sin quotas were none other than the number of sins they could covertly commit. It was a term that wicked path powers used to refer to so that they could stay under the radar of righteous powers looking to completely blame them and begin a crusade.

After all, there was a limit that the righteous powers would not like for anyone to cross, and that was the limit they, the wicked path powers, abide by. Of course, it wasn't something to be relied on as it was mostly an unspoken rule, not to mention only valid between equally strong powers.

Nonetheless, hearing her father's words, Yilla Zyrus inwardly sighed, knowing this would happen.

If she had revealed the Mystic Moonlight Cloud before, wouldn't it be confiscated and used for the Young Master or Young Mistress in exchange for giving her points to use in their Treasury? If she wanted the Mystic Moonlight Cloud to remain with her, then she could only become a Young Mistress.

However, she didn't want such a status as it was constricting and fraught with other responsibilities and interactions she disliked taking care of.

Even if this was not the case, what would be the chances that her own father would not take away her spirit? After all, obtaining it and nurturing it meant becoming a top-tier genius at any stage! Not for one moment did she believe that the others would not take Darkshade away from her, and hence, she distanced herself and spent so much time and resources nurturing Darkshade covertly, only for her to be ultimately confiscated in the end.

At this moment, Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus also arrived, looking at the Grand Elder leave before his gaze fell on Yilla Zyrus.

"Yilla, listen to us. We won't treat you badly in the event we come to an agreement with the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit Tribe. In fact, I promise we would nurture you more than any other individual present in our Zyrus Family."

"…"

Yilla Zyrus didn't say a word nor look at Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus. She only watched Darkshade being sealed in a life ring and taken away, her gaze shaking.

"Yilla, trust us. We wouldn't do anything to harm your spirit. However, as a member of the Zyrus Family, you should know how important it is for us to obtain those Immortal Emperor Grade Spirit Cores. To that end, I intentionally raised the price so high that the chances are that it would not be met, so you can have your Mystic Moonlight Cloud Spirit back as soon as they decline the offer."

"What if they met the deal's terms?" She finally turned to look at Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus, appearing a bit furious as she tried to suppress her anger.

"Then…" Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus's gaze flickered, "You will be treated akin to our Young Mistress, and given all the resources you need to grow. There won't be a bottleneck for you until you become an Immortal Emperor at the very least, and I promise you that if you manage to make Mo Tian yours and bring him to our power, you will be treated even better with Immortal Emperor Grade resources and even a Darkness Essence Orb at the Immortal King Grade."

"...!"

Yilla Zyrus couldn't help but become shocked before her lips couldn't help but curl, revealing a smile that was quite cold as she imagined how ridiculous it was for her family to forcefully take away something while also demanding something from her.

"I'll do my best." A few words of agreement came out from her mouth nonchalantly, causing Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus to nod his head.

"Good!~"

"Moreover, admit defeat in this battle, as we wouldn't want more backlash."

"Unfortunately, that would be the case."

The spirit she used disrupted the battle and was ultimately the cause for giving assassins a chance to assassinate more people. Although it wouldn't automatically disqualify her, that would be like showing sincerity to the other powers present here.

Yilla Zyrus understood that very well, so she didn't bicker about it, not like she was in the mood to bicker about anything in the first place.

"Patriarch! Patriarch!"

Abruptly, a Deacon came flying inside the palace, causing Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus to react.

"What?"

"Patriarch, that Mo Tian has set up a construct outside and is claiming that he could treat the poison and even took a patient inside!"

"…?"

Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus's expression turned confused, wondering when Mo Tian turned from a martial fighter into a physician.
