From the start as an ordinary mortal prisoner, she will ultimately tread the nine heavens of the Divine Realm.
The iron chains of the imperial prison shattered.
A woman in prison clothes stepped out slowly, her dark hair stained with blood and her gaze as cold as ice.
"Your Highness, the Grand Princess... You're still alive?"
Fenghuang raised her eyes, every last hope burning away in their depths. "I am not dead. Those who owe me will pay their debts."
She was Deng Fenghuang, Grand Princess of Xiwang Bay.
The true spirit of a phoenix, whose phoenix bones had been extracted and whose phoenix blood had been drained, cast down into the mortal world.
She was also Mr. Qing, the Northern Frontier's foremost guardian, and the head of Shaoshi Mountain.
The sole heir to the Xiwang Empire, its empress, Deng Fenghuang.
"Issue my decree..."
Her clear voice rang through the long street:
"In three days, I shall ascend the throne.
Traitorous ministers, corrupt chancellors, rebel sects, sworn enemies...
All of you, kneel and welcome me!"
As her words fell, golden-purple flames surged skyward from within her!
Shaoshi Mountain trembled, and cultivators fled in fear.
Birds flew in from afar, circling and crying out.
Passersby dropped to their knees in shock:
"It's... it's the myriad birds paying homage to the phoenix, a divine miracle from the Celestial Palace!"
"The Grand Princess is a goddess!"
A goddess? No!
She had come to claim lives, a King of Hell in a woman's form.
Her younger brother Chaoyang had died unjustly.
Her mentor Moyuan had been subjected to soul refinement.
Her phoenix bones had been extracted, and her phoenix blood stolen.
The Dragon Cavern had taken the immortal veins from the Cloud Abyss Wutong.
Her clan had slipped into the rifts of the Great Ruins and the ancient domains, struggling to survive.
In her past life and this one, her loved ones had left her one by one, right before her eyes.
She would personally settle every last one of these blood debts!
