When I asked that, I knew I had probably exposed myself. Even without reading his thoughts, it was clearly impossible to keep pretending.
The reason he had not exposed me on the spot as someone who did not belong to the Zhenhai Bureau was naturally that he wanted to see how I would act.
Unfortunately, I had no intention of giving him that chance.
"Who I am doesn't matter. I only want your Ancestral Nest to join forces with the Zhenhai Bureau and dismantle every spatial formation in the Spirit Sea that has been set with inverted laws. As the upper-level beings, I do not blame you for worshiping an evil god in this realm, but neither will I allow you to continue drawing the sea of spiritual energy into this place, harming the peace of this universe and becoming a destabilizing factor here." I got straight to the point.
My words instantly drew all kinds of looks from the strange beings present. Some were shocked, some disdainful, and some furious.
The old man on the throne remained expressionless, but his eyes slowly narrowed, as though he were focusing his gaze to scrutinize my expression and watch for what came next.
"You say we worship an evil god, but where are you an upper-level being from? Why should we listen to your one-sided claim?" the female strange being beside him sneered coldly.
Hearing her rebuke, Nanzhi's face hardened. She said, "We're here to inform you, not argue with you. The Dao lineage you worship has already been severed completely by Big Brother Xia. I believe your cultivation will soon return to its original state. Now, your only path is redemption. If you really wait until the immortals from the outside world attack, I'm afraid your entire race will face annihilation!"
