Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 80 Chen Ji's heart was in turmoil
No one expected that when the man who came in like a hurricane broke into the temple openly, Wei Xingying and Qingluan couldn't help but gasp.
The slender eyebrows, hooked nose, and upturned thin lips exude a chilling and feminine aura.
"Kongming Clan Leader Yan Zhu!" Wei Xingying subconsciously exclaimed, causing everyone to be shocked again!
Isn’t this person Yan Zhu, the patriarch of the Kongming clan!
Why is he here? Is the battle on the ground over? Is it possible...
Wei Xingying shuddered suddenly, not daring to think about it any further...
The Crown Princess had initially observed the newcomer, pondering for a moment, as if she had guessed his identity. But when she heard Wei Xingying call out his name, her beautiful eyes widened, a hint of surprise quickly transforming into endless hatred. If it weren't for the Kongming Clan's instigation, her father wouldn't have betrayed his integrity and rebelled, and her husband wouldn't have broken off with her father like this. It was all his fault! It was all the Kongming Clan's fault!
Hatred surged in her heart, and she wished she could grind him to dust immediately. She pointed her toes and rushed towards Yan Zhu at lightning speed, desperately. A green mist spread out around her. Ying Lili and Wei Xingying realized at the same time that she wanted to fight Yan Zhu to the death!
However, she knew with her toes that she was definitely no match for his opponent!
Fearing that she would suffer, just as Gong Lili and Wei Xingying were about to intervene to stop the Crown Princess, they saw a circle of crimson flames behind them whoosh, transforming into a fire dragon and leaping out, separating everyone from Yan Zhu. Suzaku's blazing voice echoed, "How dare you! How dare you be so presumptuous in my temple!"
Everyone was shocked. Not to mention the sudden appearance of the Kongming tribe leader, even the attitude of Zhuque was incredible. His previous action was obviously biased towards Yan Zhu!
At this time, Kamami was naturally unhappy. Although he still had his back to the crowd and didn't even turn his head, his tone was somewhat unfriendly: "Suzaku, what do you mean?!"
Suzaku seemed to have not heard the threat in his words at all, or perhaps she simply did not care. She replied casually, "I've already said it before, as your master said, if he doesn't come in person, then only the person he chooses can take away this 'Spirit Wing'. Even your senior brother Zhuo Ao couldn't take this 'Spirit Wing' away back then. He tried his best but only took away the spirit body of this 'Spirit Wing', and now the spirit body has returned on its own, so..."
Zhuque paused slightly. "Everyone who enters this temple is equal. Now, each of you has the opportunity to try it out. This 'Spirit Wing' is currently within the red lotus. Whoever can remove it from the red lotus will be its new owner."
Zhuque's face was calm at this moment. Her duty was only to look after the 'Spirit Wings' for that person and, when the time was right, hand the 'Spirit Wings' over to the destined person chosen by him.
As for whether that destined person is good or bad, or what race he is, it has nothing to do with her. To put it bluntly, she is just a temporary custodian.
At this time, everyone who could come here could be the destined person, which was why she had taken action to stop them from fighting in the temple.
Just as she said, anyone who comes to this temple now has a chance! Everyone is equal!
I think Yan Zhu also knew this, so he dared to come alone! He was sure that no one would dare to act rashly at this time. After all, the ancient mythical beast Suzaku was not a character that was easy to deal with according to legend.
"Hahaha, Kamami, you've calculated everything, but you still missed this one." After hearing what Suzaku said, Yan Zhu felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill, and actually teased Kamami.
Before Jianyi could speak, Yan Zhu said to Zhuque, "Master Zhuque, I am Yan Chen from the Kongming Clan. I am willing to give it a try."
Zhuque nodded slightly, with no expression on her face. She raised her hand slightly and pointed at Honglian behind her, as if to signal him to come closer.
At this moment, everyone present was slightly stunned. What had he just said? His name was Yan Chen? Not Yan Zhu? This man was really bold, wanting to be the first to try something new.
Although at this time, except for Kamaya and Mo Yi who had just asked Canglong with his divine sense, no one else was quite sure what kind of treasure this "Spirit Wing" was, but it did not mean that no one was interested. This was a legendary treasure. Since Zhuque said that everyone had a chance, naturally everyone was holding a sense of luck in their hearts.
Therefore, there is naturally a sense of shared hatred towards this uninvited guest who wants to take the initiative.
Wei Xingying only then took a closer look at the man. If he looked closely, he was indeed different from the Kongming tribe leader he had seen on the city wall before. His face seemed to be paler, as if he had not been exposed to the sun for years, and his paleness was a little scary.
When the man named Yan Chen was about to reach Kamai Yi, he heard Kamai Yi snort coldly. Still with his back to the crowd, he said something that startled everyone again: "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be the cursed twins?"
Yan Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped beside Kamai. An extremely unpleasant smile spread across his face. He crossed his arms over his chest and glared at Kamai with a mocking expression, "Thanks to you, I've been living in darkness since birth. I never expected to find myself here by chance. Kamai, oh Kamai, you never expected this to happen, did you?"
"After being the shadow that cannot see the light for so long, are you finally unwilling to give up ?" Kamami is really a man who never stops saying shocking things. He keeps throwing out bombshells and secrets that leave everyone confused.
Yan Chen was standing beside the shadow of Kamai Yi at this time, with a gloomy expression, as if what Kamai Yi said was right.
This person called Yan Chen, was he cursed too? Mo Yi was also shocked at this moment. Thinking of Kamai Yi's curse technique, Mo Yi's mouth curled up with a hint of sneer. Fortunately, he now had a clear understanding of the pros and cons. Now was not the time to pursue those old things with Kamai Yi. The key at the moment was the Heavenly Stone. In Mo Yi's heart, resurrecting his mother was more important than getting his people to break the curse. Moreover, they had been cursed for hundreds of years anyway, so they didn't mind waiting a little longer. So, at least before the Heavenly Stone was completed, no matter how much Mo Yi hated Kamai Yi in his heart, he would not turn against him.
Meanwhile, Ying Lili, her boundless imagination and gossipy nature fully unleashed, already conjuring a twin legend in her mind, a tale as vivid as light and shadow, tinged with blood, tears, and heartbreak. Could this be another of those legendary twins born from the same mother but with different fates? One becomes the clan leader, while the other is forced to live forever in the other's shadow and darkness?
Yan Chen quickly calmed down his gloomy mood, but he was in no hurry to try the treasure in the red lotus. After his gaze roamed over everyone in the hall, it landed squarely on Mo Yi. A fleeting flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he sneered, "Kamugi, I always thought my brother Yan Zhu was too stupid, which is why you played him around so hard, causing so many of his clansmen to lose their lives in vain, and ultimately making things difficult for you. Now it seems that his defeat wasn't unfair. He was tricked by three shrewd foxes at the same time, and yet he managed to keep his life. He's lucky."
Even with their formidable resolve, they could barely contain themselves. What was this all about? Why were they calling it a trio of cunning and calculating foxes? Mo Yi and Gong Lili only vaguely suspected that Zhuo Ao and Jian Yi were behind this divine scheme, but they had no idea who the third person was.
Although Wei Xingying vaguely knew that his Majesty and Kamami might have been involved in the elimination, he was not very clear about the so-called third person.
More importantly, everyone was in the dark about how this magical game was set up, and they didn't quite understand. Everyone was extremely curious at this moment.
However, this man called Yan Chen seemed to understand all of this very clearly. Everyone looked at each other, and then at the same time, Yan Chen lived up to everyone's expectations, as if he was determined to speak his mind: "Let me guess, how did you set up this immortal plan!"
At this time, Kamami himself did not comment. Perhaps he was also interested in listening to what kind of profound ideas this shadow-like figure from the Kongming clan could come up with. Perhaps to some extent, masters like Kamami were also lonely. It was like he played a good game of chess, but if no one appreciated it, he would probably not feel very happy.
The Vermillion Bird watched all this coldly from the side, but surprisingly did not stop it. It was quite boring to sleep for thousands of years, so it was not bad to listen to stories occasionally to relieve boredom.
At this moment, the entire Suzaku Temple was so quiet that one could hear everyone's breathing. However, Ping Lili's gaze fell quietly on the red lotus. At this moment, she seemed to feel that Mo Yi behind her shook slightly.
Yan Chen, on the other side, was already talking. "Since everyone wants to hear stories, I'll share some ancient rumors I've heard. If I 'm not mistaken, Zhuo Ao, you, and the one from the Ruoye tribe who possesses the 'Blue Sea Dragon Lotus', the three of you should be three brothers from back in the ancient times. Zhuo Ao is the eldest, you are the second senior brother, and the one from the Ruoye tribe is your younger junior brother. In that ancient war with the demons, although you luckily won, you were also severely damaged by the demons! Zhuo Ao was lucky enough to not only survive, but also obtain the art of immortality. Under your master's orders, he protected Yonghui City for thousands of years, while you and your younger junior brother suffered damage to your primordial spirits and soon passed away. Your younger junior brother was the most seriously injured, his primordial spirit completely destroyed, so he fell directly into the cycle of reincarnation, constantly reincarnating. Now he should be the crown prince of the Ruoye tribe, but because his primordial spirit was dispersed in ancient times, he has long forgotten what happened."
At this time, Gong Lili finally understood how the bond between herself and Long Yu was formed. It turned out that they had been fellow disciples in ancient times. In her heart, she was happy for Long Yu. Fortunately, his ancient soul had long since perished, so he would not be bound by past and present lives like herself.
The Crown Princess, who had been held by Wei Xingying, looked a little more lonely when she heard Yan Chen mention her husband.
Unexpectedly, Yan Chen changed the subject, and what he said immediately stunned : "And you were unwilling to disappear like this. Although your body perished, your soul was still alive, so you kept reincarnating, constantly searching for a way to rebuild the strongest body of your time. Who would have known that five hundred years ago, your senior brother Zhuo Ao, for some unknown reason, also tired of guarding Yonghui City, and actually had the intention of inheriting the mantle and looking for a successor. Even more outrageous, he actually chose the little girl you were reincarnated into. Is her name Yao Ji? After Zhuo Ao learned that you were reincarnated into her, he gave up the idea of inheriting the legacy. However, he still handed Yonghui City to the little girl and went off to have fun somewhere else."
Hearing Yan Chen use the word "seeking pleasure" to describe Zhuo Ao, Mo Yi's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that Yan Chen's news was just hearsay. Others didn't know where Zhuo Ao was going, but he knew it very well. He was not going to seek pleasure at all, but was clearly going to Penglai Fairyland to find the Yue Jingzhi that was necessary for his mother's resurrection.
However, Yan Chen's words just now reminded Mo Yi. Since Zhuo Ao knew that Yao Ji was the reincarnation of Jian Yi five hundred years ago, could it be that Zhuo Ao and Jian Yi had already started planning the matter of the Heavenly Stone five hundred years ago?!
