Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 81 Everyone is not a good bird
Yan Chen seemed to have opened a box of chatterboxes, and he talked incessantly about those old stories that he had heard from who knows where. Although no one knew how credible they were, everyone listened attentively. After all, these ancient secrets were not easily known.
As for Kamai, he remained silent from beginning to end, as if listening to someone else's story. Qinglili secretly wondered in her heart, wondering if Kamai had acquiesced, or if he simply didn't bother to explain. From Qinglili's understanding of Kamai, it was probably more of the latter .
However, after listening to Yan Chen's recounting of so many old stories, the most crucial question, what exactly was going on with this immortal scheme, still remained unclear. Gong Lili was about to interrupt his endless chatter and bring him back to the point, but unexpectedly Yan Chen suddenly changed the subject and revealed another shocking secret: "You two brothers each had your own plans, wanting to use that little girl, but you didn't expect that the little girl named Yao Ji was actually a lovesick person. In order to remove the curse for that boy from the Nayu tribe, you actually went against the will of heaven and ruined your own future. You saw that your plan was about to succeed, but it fell apart at the last moment. So, out of shame and anger, you secretly instructed the great elders of the Shamo tribe to kill her! Hahahaha, hypocritical people refer to people like you! Under the guise of the Shamo God who sympathizes with all living beings, you, Jianyi, are actually a downright sinister villain!"
Yao Ji was actually killed by the Great Elder of the Shamo Clan under the orders of Jianyi?!
This was like a bolt of lightning, leaving Mo Yi and Gong Lili stunned. Instantly, they both glared at Kamai Yi. If what Yan Chen said was true, then they had truly been played around by Kamai Yi! One had taken a thief as his master, the other had conspired with the tiger. Unexpectedly, Kamai Yi was actually their worst enemy!
And Kamami remained silent at this time, neither admitting nor denying. What was he thinking?
If I don't obey, will Kamami kill me without hesitation, just like he did to Yaoji before?!
Thinking of this, he actually began to tremble slightly, not knowing whether it was because of fear or anger. At this time, Mo Yi behind him seemed to feel the uneasiness in Yinglili's heart. He reached out and patted Yinglili's shoulder gently, as if to comfort her, and as if to give her confidence. No matter how Jianyi planned to treat Yinglili, this time, he would never watch what happened that year happen again.
But Wei Xingying was thinking about something else. Why did Yan Chen expose Jian Yi's true identity in front of Mo Yi and Gong Lili? What good would it do him? Wei Xingying didn't believe Yan Chen was just saying this to show off his eloquence!
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, and he thought of another key issue. He remembered what Qingluan had said before, that Yinglili was very likely the one destined to obtain the treasure, the 'Spirit Wings'. If that was true, then Yinglili was probably the only one who could retrieve the 'Spirit Wings'. This Jianyi had been scheming for so long, simply for the 'Spirit Wings'. What if Yinglili turned against him?!
If Yinglili and Kamaiyi fell out at this moment, in order to prevent Kamaiyi from succeeding, Yinglili would voluntarily give up the 'Spirit Wings'...
So that's what happened. Wei Xingying looked thoughtfully at Ying Lili, whose expression was uncertain, and wondered whether he should remind her.
However, on second thought, if Ying Lili voluntarily gave up the "Spirit Wings", it might not be a bad thing for their Ruoye tribe. At least, he wouldn't have to fight with her. Wei Xingying quietly suppressed the urge to remind Ying Lili.
But at this moment, Yan Chen changed the subject again, this time looking at Mo Yi: "You are the Mo Yi from Nayu back then? The culprit who caused Jianyi to fail at the last moment. Haha, how ironic! I didn't expect this girl to be entangled with you in her past and present lives. I guess Jianyi would hate you every time he sees you. What's even more ironic is that his senior brother Zhuo Ao finally chose you as the successor..."
Was he trying to provoke Mo Yi again? Wei Xingying looked at Yan Chen calmly. What was he planning? Was he trying to sow discord between Mo Yi and Ying Lili and Jian Yi?
Unexpectedly, Mo Yi's reaction was unusually calm. He raised his sword-like eyebrows, and a mocking arc appeared on his thin lips. He calmly interrupted Yan Chen's endless accusations: "I don't know what your intention is in bringing up these old things, but if you want to use this opportunity to provoke us and then wait to reap the benefits, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I don't look at the past, but only at the future. Even if it means plotting against the tiger, it's not a bad idea."
When he said this, he seemed to inadvertently hold Gong Lili's hand in his palm. Only Gong Lili understood how much effort he was putting in to pretend to be calm. The strength coming from his fingertips made Gong Lili's hand numb. In an instant, she understood his forbearance and restraint, and Gong Lili cooperated very well without saying a word.
It was enough for her to understand Mo Yi's heart. No matter what he said or what others said, it was irrelevant.
Wei Xingying was shocked. She didn't expect that Mo Yi was such a smart person and he quickly understood Yan Chen's intentions.
And the silent Jian Yi snorted coldly at this moment, "No wonder the arrogant Zhuo Ao likes you. He is a smart man."
Wei Xingying saw that everyone knew the truth and didn't want to waste any more time. What he was most curious about at the moment was the matter of the Immortal Game, so he said directly to Yan Chen, "You are wasting time by talking about these nonsense. Why don't you tell me your opinion on this Immortal Game?"
Yan Chen's intentions were seen through by everyone, but he didn't seem annoyed. A hint of subtle sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he turned directly to Wei Xingying: "Don't worry, your Ruoye tribe has many scandals. Let me tell you one by one. Do you know who was the biggest driving force behind your Nanhai Rebellion back then?!"
The moment these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked. How could they be talking about the Ruoye tribe again? The Crown Princess's eyes lit up. She had always been puzzled by this old story. Although she vaguely knew that her father seemed to have played some less than glorious roles in the past, many questions remained unanswered. In her memory, her father was an extremely far-sighted and cautious man. Why had he been so foolishly involved in that internal strife?
"Haha, none of you would have guessed that the biggest culprit behind the South Sea Rebellion back then was your Ruoye Emperor! They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but your Emperor is even more vicious than a tiger! In order to test his youngest son, the reincarnation of the 'Blue Sea Dragon Lotus', he actually gave up all his own sons to serve as stepping stones for him!"
At this moment, Wei Xingying and the Crown Princess's faces turned pale. What had he just said? Was the Nanhai Rebellion caused by His Majesty? Although Wei Xingying vaguely knew that His Majesty was behind the Yonghui War, he had never imagined that His Majesty had done such a vicious thing back then.
It turned out that the South Sea Rebellion wasn't, as the Ruoye tribe had spread, the result of the Crown Prince and the other princes' own rebellion, but rather the Emperor's coercion. Wei Xingying actually began to worry about his mother. Now, the Emperor's only remaining children were Uncle Long Yu and Mother... He wondered if the Emperor would one day get the urge to attack his mother as well. Thinking of this, Wei Xingying's expression darkened.
The Crown Princess's mind suddenly became clear. She finally understood the most important thing: long before she married Long Yu, they had already become abandoned children of His Majesty...
Only then did she realize that the one who was trying to put her father to death was none other than the Emperor of the Ruoye Clan... The Crown Princess's face instantly turned pale. They say that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, but she had never imagined that this tiger could be so venomous...
As if he couldn't be satisfied until he had exposed the scars of everyone present, Yan Chen continued to talk and add insult to injury: "Do you think this Yonghui War was caused by Jianyi alone? I have always been puzzled as to how Jianyi, given his current condition, could have set up such a huge scheme. Now I understand. This is clearly a scheme set up by three old foxes! Jianyi only opened the first door! It is said that for this secret treasure to appear, two conditions are required: a huge fluctuation of spiritual energy and a bloodline technique formed by the blood of tens of thousands of people! In order to achieve these two conditions and lure out the secret treasure, Jianyi deliberately leaked the news that there was a secret treasure of creation under Yonghui City to the old emperor of the Ruoye tribe. He knew that the old man was determined to unify the Xuming Realm and would definitely not miss such a good opportunity!"
At this moment, Ying Lili and Mo Yi suddenly realized that the third person was actually the old emperor of the Ruoye tribe, Long Yu's father! But why did he do this?
"As he expected, after the old emperor of the Ruoye tribe knew about this, he really started to make plans. He deliberately unsealed a part of the demon clan and released some of the demon remnants to instigate my Kongming clan to attack Yonghui City. His purpose was nothing more than to kill three birds with one stone, to eliminate internal troubles and resolve external threats, and to use the swords of the demon clan and my Kongming clan to kill some old guys who he always wanted to get rid of but couldn't do it himself. Now it seems that this trick of killing with a borrowed knife is really powerful, and it also consumed my Kongming clan at the same time!" If the emperor of the Ruoye tribe was present at this time, he would probably be stunned. He didn't expect that this shadow-like figure of the Kongming clan could actually tell them most of the conspiracies they had hidden deep in their hearts.
Qingluan was secretly thankful at this time that their Penglai Fairyland had never been involved in many things in the Xuming Continent, otherwise she would have heard some scandals by now.
Unfortunately, Yan Chen seemed to have come prepared today, and he had no intention of letting anyone present have an easy time. He finally looked at Qing Luan and sneered, "Don't you want to know what dishonorable role the people of Penglai Fairyland are playing in this situation?"
Qingluan's heart skipped a beat, but she feigned composure and said, "What can we do? We in Penglai Wonderland never get involved in the affairs of the Xuming Continent!"
"You talk better than you sing. You guys in Penglai Wonderland keep saying you won't interfere in the affairs of the Xuming Continent, but in reality, you've already meddled in everything! Of the three old foxes I mentioned earlier, besides the Emperor of the Ruoye Clan and Jianyi, the most sinister one left is your master, the Holy Mother of Mount Li!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Vermillion Bird Temple fell silent. Everyone seemed to think they had misheard. What had Yan Chen just said? They had heard him recount so many past events involving the three of them, Kamui and his fellow apprentices, and had assumed that Zhuo Ao, as the eldest brother, must have been inextricably linked to their elimination. Even Mo Yi, Zhuo Ao's nominal successor, had assumed Zhuo Ao must have played some behind-the-scenes role in this elimination. But they hadn't expected Yan Chen to actually reveal that the third old fox was the Lishan Holy Mother of Penglai Wonderland?!
What about Zhuo Ao? What happened to Zhuo Ao?
Could it be that Zhuo Ao had nothing to do with this divine plan from beginning to end? Impossible!
Why is that third old fox the Holy Mother of Mount Li from Penglai Fairyland?!
