Phoenix in Nirvana: The Unrivaled Waste Against the World

"My grandmother is also from the Dongfang family. Although she is not from the same bloodline as you, she has lived in your Dongfang family and was taken care of!

Although my grandmother never mentioned the Dongfang family back then, I guess it was just because she had lost her memory, and she was not completely devoid of feelings for the Dongfang family!

Over the years, it was thanks to the care of the Dongfang family, otherwise my grandmother would not have had a chance to survive.

If you have any problem, please ask me. If I can help, I will definitely help. Just think of it as a way to repay the kindness my grandmother owed to the Dongfang family. I believe my grandmother will be happy to see it!" Ning Siyue smiled.

"Well, that's true, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to come to you rashly!

We didn’t take good care of your grandmother, which eventually caused her to be seriously injured and nearly die. It was our fault!" Dongfang Mingtao continued.

“Everyone has their own destiny. If I hadn’t been in danger, I wouldn’t have met my grandfather.

Maybe fate is determined by heaven, and sometimes it is not necessarily a bad thing. Why should the head of the Dongfang family blame himself? "Ning Siyue said with a smile.

"That's true. Perhaps this is destined to happen!" Dongfang Mingtao nodded.

“Master Dongfang, if you have something to say, you can just say it directly. There is no need to worry too much. I am not a nosy person, and I don’t want to get involved in the cause and effect of others!

If I can help, I will repay the favor my grandmother owed to the Dongfang family! If I can't help, I'm sure the head of the Dongfang family won't force it!" Ning Siyue said with a smile.

Dongfang Mingtao didn't care about Ning Siyue's thoughts and began to speak slowly, "Then I'll be frank. You should have listened to what my son said about the origin of our Dongfang family and the legend of the God Clan back then!"

“Indeed, I didn’t expect that the God Clan would also be in such a miserable state. It seems that things in the world are unpredictable. We should be extra careful and vigilant at all times!” Ning Siyue nodded slightly.

"We fled back then out of helplessness. The family also fled in a panic, and many things were not planned. As a result, not only did most of the people who fled get lost, their whereabouts are unknown, but many family inheritances are also lost.

However, now, although we want to restore our former glory, we are powerless and can only struggle to survive. We are sorry for the ancestors of the Dongfang family!

I came here today to look for it, but I couldn't find the drawbacks left over from the inheritance back then, which almost caused my Dongfang family to be wiped out!" Dongfang Mingtao sighed.

"Destroy the entire family? It's so serious!" Ning Siyue was stunned.

“To be honest with you, Elder Ning, I might as well tell you straight, most of us who escaped back then were not valued by the family!

These are generally famous people, and once they are counted, we will know that they cannot escape at all. Otherwise, we will be hunted down, and we may not even be able to survive.

Therefore, the family could only let us flee with some young children and side branches, and even the family treasures!

It's just that many things haven't been explained in time, so we can only count whoever escapes. It's good enough if we can keep our lives and continue the inheritance!" Dongfang Mingtao sighed and shook his head.

"So the question this time is..." Ning Siyue understood Dongfang Mingtao's meaning, nodded slightly, and continued to ask.

"Decades ago, when the family opened the treasure house, a disciple selected an atlas.

This is also one of the treasures left over from that year, and this kind of treasure house is not opened all year round. It must be a big event in the clan, so it will be opened to inspire the disciples in the clan!" Dongfang Mingtao said again.

"Is there something wrong with this atlas?" Ning Siyue asked.

Dongfang Mingtao frowned and nodded, "This atlas has never had any problems in the treasury, and there has never been anything wrong with it before!

Until one day, this disciple disappeared from the clan, and from then on the clan began to look for this disciple!"

"Disappeared? Did he go out for training?" Ning Siyue asked.

“The fact that this disciple was able to obtain this atlas is enough to show how important he is in the clan.

If he went out for training, even if he didn't say hello to anyone, his clan members would know about it. At the very least, the clan members who went in and out with him, or the disciples who were on guard, would know about it.

But he had also stated in advance that when he got this atlas, he had already decided to study the secrets of this treasure in seclusion!

So there is no such thing as him going out for training, at least he disappeared out of thin air in the clan!" Dongfang Hui explained.

"Since he was in seclusion, how did you discover that he disappeared without a trace?" Ning Siyue asked.

“He was not in seclusion. When the tribe members went to look for him, they found no response.

Because even his clan members couldn't explain his newly acquired treasure clearly, they initially thought he was possessed, which led to the following events!" Dongfang Hui replied.

“Yes, because of this, when he disappeared out of thin air, the clan naturally had many doubts.

Besides, he disappeared from the clan. Whether it was revenge by an enemy or a traitor in the clan, being able to make him disappear quietly is a hidden danger in itself!" Dongfang Mingtao frowned.

Ning Siyue nodded, indicating that she understood!

“So the matter immediately became more serious in the clan. The clan arranged for elders to investigate from all aspects, and also checked the people in the clan.

Firstly, it is to prevent someone from disappearing like this disciple, and no one knows about it. We can also start from the connection between the missing people to see if we can find the reason. Secondly, we need to check whether there is a traitor mixed in!" Dongfang Hui continued to explain.

"What happened next? How did the person disappear?" Ning Siyue asked.

"After searching for a long time, we finally found that there was something wrong with the atlas!" Dongfang Mingtao sighed.

"Atlas? Could it be that the atlas is an evil object?" Ning Siyue wondered.

"No, there is no evil aura on the atlas. It was a coincidence that the elder of the tribe was suddenly sucked into the atlas when he was checking it!" Dongfang Hui explained.

"Sucked into the atlas?" Ning Siyue seemed to feel familiar.

"Yes, he was sucked in and then disappeared!" Dongfang Mingtao nodded, with a hint of bitterness in his memories.

"Is there anything wrong with that atlas? Have all the people who have seen it been sucked in, or...?" Ning Siyue continued to ask.

"I don't know. We have only seen it once with our own eyes, and we have sealed it since then!" Dongfang Hui said.

“Since it has been sealed, how can the family be exterminated?” Ning Siyue shook her head.

“That night, we hurriedly tried every possible way, but no matter what we did, there was no solution, and we didn’t know how to rescue the people who were sucked in!

So in order to prevent it from sucking other people in again, even before finding the problem, they decided to seal it up and wait until they find a solution in the future!

However, that night, two more people disappeared from the tribe!" Dongfang Mingtao frowned and continued.

"Sucked into the atlas again? Wasn't it sealed away?" Ning Siyue felt a little dizzy after hearing this.
