Chapter 697 The Tragedy Thirty Years Ago

Prince Zhongli's voice was deep and heavy, with a hint of anger still lingering in it.

With his eloquence, Ji Tianxing and Yan'er finally understood what happened thirty years ago.

"Back then, Huo Yan was the high priest of our Fire Clan, with a noble status and a high status.

He has been a priest for more than 20 years, and he has been fair and honest in the first ten years, and he is highly regarded by the Fire Emperor.

But later, he was bewitched by a woman of the Changli tribe, married that woman, and began to become more and more domineering and selfish.

The Changli woman planned carefully for many years. At the Autumn Fire Gala thirty-five years ago, she took the opportunity to sneak into the Fire God Palace, killed many guards, and stole the Fire God Crystal.

After the incident, the Fire Emperor personally chased and killed the Changli woman for hundreds of miles, and brought back the Changli woman and Vulcan Jing. "

Yan'er's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked suspiciously: "Uncle Three Emperors, isn't the Changli Clan our life-and-death enemy of the Fire Clan?

Could it be that the hatred between us and the Changli people began at that time? "

Prince Zhongli shook his head and explained: "Yan'er, you are too young to know what happened back then.

In fact, before that, our Huo Clan and Changli Clan had already had grievances and grievances for hundreds of years.

That woman from the Changli tribe is actually the Seventh Princess of the Changli tribe. She was ordered to approach Huo Yan, the high priest of our tribe, and plot against our tribe's Vulcan Crystal. "

Yan'er nodded, and said in a resentful tone: "The Vulcan Crystal is the sacred object of our Fire Clan, and it is also the treasure that maintains the stability of millions of people.

That Seventh Princess of the Changli Tribe actually stole our Vulcan Crystal, it's really hateful! "

Prince Zhongli nodded slightly, and continued to speak: "The Fire Emperor captured the Seven Princesses of the Changli Clan back to the city, and executed her in public according to the laws of our clan.

However, the Emperor of Fire understood righteousness and had a kind heart, so he spared the high priest Huo Yanwang and did not hold him accountable.

However, Huo Yan was so obsessed with ghosts that he held a grudge and believed that it was the Fire Emperor who killed his wife.

In the five years since then, Huo Yan has secretly exhausted all despicable means to embezzle our clan's resources and treasures.

Later, he even wanted to steal the Vulcan Crystal, and also the Nine Flames Spirit Vein to avenge his dead wife. "

Hearing this, Yan'er's heart suddenly rose, and she asked worriedly: "Uncle Three Emperors, what happened next? What happened again?"

Lord Zhongli patted his head, and said with a complex expression: "After the Seventh Princess stole the Vulcan Crystal, the Fire Emperor strengthened the defense of the Vulcan Palace and strictly protected the Vulcan Crystal.

The high priest Huo Yan failed to steal the Vulcan crystal, but killed many guards and maids, and wounded two fire generals.

Later, seeing that his plan failed and his whereabouts were exposed, he desperately snatched the Nine Flames Spirit Vein.

In order to seize the Nine Flames Spiritual Vein, he had already prepared for many years, and the plan was very thorough.

When the king led the fire generals and guards to the Jiuyan Mountain Range, Huo Yan had already succeeded, causing a catastrophe.

The Nine Flames spiritual vein was taken away, the Nine Flames Mountains collapsed on the spot, all the mountains and rivers in a radius of a hundred miles were shattered, nine villages were destroyed into ruins, and tens of thousands of people were affected.

In that battle, more than 4,000 people of the fire clan died and more than 5,000 people were injured.

Although the Fire Emperor himself took action in the end and captured the high priest Huo Yan, our people suffered heavy casualties and blood flowed like rivers. "

Yan'er clenched her fists and cursed angrily, "Damn Huo Yan, you are simply despicable and cruel, you deserve death!"

Prince Zhongli nodded, and continued: "The Fire Emperor took Huo Yan back to the city, and tried Huo Yan's crimes in public.

The common people and the royal family all hated Huo Yan to the bone, and asked the Fire Emperor to perform the punishment of cutting flesh and returning blood, so that Huo Yan could use flesh and blood to atone for the sins of the ancestors and repay the kindness of the Fire Clan for nurturing them.

The Fire Emperor ordered the execution of the punishment of cutting flesh for blood. However, Huo Yan had already practiced the secret method, turning the Nine Flame Spirit Vein into the Nine Flame Spirit Snake, which merged with himself.

After being tortured, Huo Yan lost his left arm and right leg, and half of his blood, but he survived by luck.

According to the rules set by his ancestors, the Fire Emperor expelled Huo Yan from the Fire Clan, and he would never be able to step into the Fire Clan.

Huo Yan has been missing since then, and he hasn't been seen for thirty years, I didn't expect him to be hiding in Zhongzhou City..."

After listening to Prince Zhongli's narration, Ji Tianxing and Yan'er finally understood the whole story.

Yan'er said in a low tone: "Huo Yan, this hateful bastard, has killed so many people, it's really not a pity to die!"

Ji Tianxing also looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "No wonder Huo Yan claimed that he had a grudge with Yan'er, and tried every means to capture Yan'er."

Lord Zhongli nodded, and said: "Huo Yan hates our Fire Clan deeply, but he will never be able to step into the Fire Clan, and he has no strength to return to the Fire Clan for revenge.

Therefore, he turned his target to Yan'er, intending to murder Yan'er for revenge.

But this king can't understand, Yan'er was born 20 years after that incident, how could Huo Yan know Yan'er's identity? "

A cold light flashed in Ji Tianxing's eyes, and he said in a cold tone: "The person who captured Yan'er is an assassin from the Duanmu family's Mu Hun Tang. Huo Yan has colluded with the Duanmu family."

"The Duanmu family?" Prince Zhongli frowned, his eyes became more serious.

"That bastard Huo Yan actually found the Duanmu family as a backer? I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome now."

Yan'er hastily persuaded: "Uncle Three Emperors, the Duanmu family is very powerful and powerful like clouds, we are not able to deal with it.

Moreover, senior brother Tianxing only destroyed the medicine garden of Duanmu's family half a month ago, which seriously damaged the vitality of Duanmu's family.

Now the situation in Zhongzhou is chaotic, the Duanmu family is in a desperate situation, and they are fighting back frantically, wanting to seek revenge from Senior Brother Tianxing. "

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Prince Zhongli showed shocking eyes, and looked at Ji Tianxing in disbelief.

"My lord, this king has just come to Zhongzhou City, and I don't know the situation in the city. Can your lord clear up this king's confusion?"

Naturally, Ji Tianxing would not refuse, and briefly introduced the situation in Zhongzhou City to Lord Zhongli.

A quarter of an hour later, after he finished speaking, Prince Zhongli frowned and pondered for a moment, then made up his mind.

"Huo Yan's strength has fallen to the fifth level of Tianyuan Realm, and he is an old lunatic with missing hands and legs, so he doesn't have much effect on the Duanmu family.

This king dares to conclude that even if Huo Yan colludes with the Duanmu family, he is not a core figure, and the power he can use is very limited.

Now that the Duanmu family is in a desperate situation and it is difficult to protect themselves, it is a good time for us to arrest Huo Yan. "

Ji Tianxing thought for a while, and agreed: "That's right, the Duanmu family is busy dealing with various forces, and the main target of revenge is me.

Lord Zhongli and the two fire generals are new to Zhongzhou City, the Duanmu family will not follow you, which is just convenient for you to move.

However, if you want to find Huo Yan in the huge city of Zhongzhou, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. I am afraid that you will not find him in the short term. "

Speaking of this issue, Prince Zhongli showed a confident smile, waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this king has brought a treasure from the Fire Clan when he came to Zhongzhou this time.

This treasure can detect the aura of the Nine Flames Spirit Vein, and it will definitely help us find Huo Yan's trace soon! "
