Chapter 752: 752 Please ask the Saintess to help me find the Master of Highest Heaven Tower [2nd update]

Ye Wanlan’s expression changed: "No need to bow, in the current Shenzhou, there are no emperors, nor princesses."

Back at the scene of the Spirit Summoning Battle, she had noticed Empress Angelina’s expression subtly change when Mei En mentioned the name "Xiang Lan."

Besides, the sword ultimately disappeared right in front of Empress Angelina.

Only Princess Yongning can wield this sword, which has already confirmed to Empress Angelina that Princess Yongning is indeed alive.

Coupled with all sorts of clues, and the death of Victoria Monroe, with Empress Angelina’s strategy, it was indeed enough to deduce her identity.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn’t seem surprised." Empress Angelina was somewhat surprised instead, "I thought I would see panic on your face. Are you not afraid that I would keep you here in the Northern Lands?"

As the emperor, she clearly knew how important the identity of Princess Yongning was.

So, before inviting Ye Wanlan over, she had already ensured that there was absolutely no one else around.

"Of course not afraid." Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "If you had any malice towards me, your head would have already fallen before you could call out my name."

"Clang!"

A clear sound of a sword suddenly rang out.

With a "swish," a sword appeared behind Ye Wanlan, the divine sword that had been offered at the Northland Imperial Palace for three hundred years.

Even though this divine sword was ordered to be forged by Empress Valenkina, the user was Princess Yongning, and as her direct descendant, Empress Angelina could not change the sword’s decision.

"The ancestor wrote in the book that although Princess Yongning was frail, seemingly harmless, she was actually quite formidable." Empress Angelina’s palms began to sweat, and she let out a long breath, "Seeing it today, the reputation was indeed well deserved."

History books are ultimately just words, no matter how many adjectives are used to describe, they can’t match the impact of seeing the person themselves.

Someone who could make even Empress Valenkina yield would not be a simple character.

"Never show mercy to enemies." Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "But I always stand by my friends."

Empress Angelina smiled: "Then I am honored, to be blessed by the ancestor, to become Her Royal Highness the Princess’s friend."

"That Atlantian, indeed was killed by me." Ye Wanlan said softly, "And indeed no longer exists in this world, but much more, I cannot tell you."

"Understood." Empress Angelina pondered for a moment, "There is an ancient saying in Shenzhou: ’When things are kept secret, they succeed; when spoken, they fail.’ If the information leaks, then the possibility of failure increases."

So, many things cannot be said.

It’s not a matter of distrust, but of the walls having ears.

The fewer people who know a secret, the better.

Ye Wanlan slowly said: "At the cemetery, I indeed saw Valenkina."

Empress Angelina’s heart trembled: "Dare I ask Your Highness, the ancestor she..."

"Three hundred years ago, she told me that after death she was to be buried in that place to guard against evil spirits." Ye Wanlan said quietly, "But I could not bear to see her suffer such torment even after death, so I have cleared that area of all evil spirits."

Hearing this, Empress Angelina was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness, after a hundred years, the ancestor can finally rest in peace."

That area was plagued by evil spirits for a long time, and because of the great grievances, even the Romanov Family couldn’t clear them, making it a major peril in the Northern Lands.

If Empress Valenkina hadn’t entered the realm in person to guard the cemetery, in time, these evil spirits might have slaughtered the entire Northern Lands.

Empress Angelina had been troubled by this for a long time, yet there was no solution.

The Supernatural Affairs Office had sent experts over, but found no solution.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Empress Angelina sincerely thanked Ye Wanlan, "I thank you on behalf of the people of the Northern Lands."

"You’re welcome." Ye Wanlan shook her head, "Valenkina told me some things about Atlantis, which I can fully relay to you."

...

When Ye Wanlan left the main hall, the sun had set.

She brushed past Sulya without looking back.

"Your Majesty." Sulya bowed to Angelina, "That Ms. Rong Si..."

"Ah—" Empress Angelina shook her head, murmuring, "Many things simply cannot be spoken of."

Sulya was momentarily stunned, then nodded: "You don’t have to say, Your Majesty, I’m simple-minded, whatever Your Majesty says, I’ll just follow."

Meanwhile, Elder Rong was taking care of Rong Qi while putting on his reading glasses, taking out his phone, and beginning to inform Yan Tingfeng.

"Ding Dong—"

The notification sound startled the two protectors guarding next to Yan Tingfeng.

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

Two more messages came in.

The Right Protector elbowed the Left Protector’s waist: "The boss’s phone rang; I saw Miss Ye’s face flash bright, then dim, then bright again."

"The boss is still recovering, he suffered heavy injuries, and can’t be awakened forcibly." The Left Protector scratched his head, "I don’t know who’s sending messages to him, and we don’t know his phone password."

"What’s so difficult about that? We have Miss Ye’s contact information, we just need to ask her, and it’s done." The Right Protector said confidently, "Anyway, as long as it’s not about Miss Ye, it’s not important to the boss."

"Makes sense." The Left Protector agreed, "We’ll ask Miss Ye."

With that, he opened a group named "The Big Boss and Her Two Loyal Servants."

[Xiao You]: Miss Ye, Miss Ye, I’m Xiao You, may I ask if you’ve encountered any danger and need assistance?

[The Big Boss]: No worries, how is your boss?

[Xiao Zuo]: Reporting to Miss Ye, the boss is doing well; yesterday, he suddenly had an epiphany and entered a seclusion emergency, and hasn’t had a chance to inform Miss Ye yet.

[The Big Boss]: Alright, don’t disturb him, I will return to the Global Center once I handle matters in Shenzhou.

Ye Wanlan put her phone away, looking at Yue Zheng still in meditation: "Saintess, we need to return to Shenzhou immediately. I think I’ll need your help for enlightenment."

Yue Zheng slowly opened her eyes: "You’re referring to the current state of Xie Linyuan and the others?"

"Exactly." Ye Wanlan nodded, "That’s why I must obtain the Infinite Ruler, but the situation with the hierarch..."

"Their state is indeed quite peculiar, neither living beings nor spiritual bodies." Yue Zheng pondered for a moment, "But the dead should have long entered reincarnation."

This world’s so-called reincarnation involves the soul first returning to chaos, and then chaos reassembling the Three Souls and Six Spirits.

So those reincarnated are not the same person anymore.

Ye Wanlan slightly nodded: "I am thinking, could it be because their weapons, having been by their side for so long, developed spiritual qualities, protecting them at a critical moment, but lacking sufficient power, resulting in their current state?"

"No, it’s not just that." Yue Zheng slowly said, "For them to return to Shenzhou, a price was paid."

Ye Wanlan’s gaze shifted: "A price?"

"As you see, Your Highness, my current revival is because my junior brother gave up his chance to live." Yue Zheng spoke calmly, "Everything adheres to an equivalent exchange, gaining something results in losing something."

No good fortune falls from the sky without a corresponding risk.

Ye Wanlan’s brow furrowed: "The Saintess means someone paid the corresponding price for their return to Shenzhou."

"Yes, perhaps several people did." Yue Zheng said solemnly, "But what exactly was sacrificed, I cannot ascertain. If only Rong Shi were here... maybe the calculations could be made."

"I understand." Ye Wanlan said word by word, "There is one more thing, please help me find the Master of Highest Heaven Tower; he is still alive."

Yue Zheng suddenly looked up: "What did you say?!"
