Chapter 1645: Secrets of the Past
friend?
Be it Gu You or Feng Qing'er.
Including Feng Xian and others who were present.
None of them are fools.
You can tell whether it is an excuse or not just by listening.
What's more, this is a worn-out excuse.
Nothing new to say.
I don’t believe any ghosts.
However, although everyone knows it in their hearts, no one refutes it in public. Some tacit understandings can be absent, but some tacit understandings can indeed be retained. Seeing through but not saying it out loud is a good self-cultivation. Moreover, everyone has to make excuses in life. As long as I don't stand up to deny it, it means that I can also use this excuse. Although no one can predict what will happen in the future, and maybe I won't need to use this excuse in the future, even from the perspective of less trouble is worse than more, I shouldn't speak out to expose it.
So, for a moment, the scene became quiet.
Only Gu You's crazy laughter echoed for a long time.
"Paws!"
Feng Qing'er doesn't mind Lin Chaoci's background.
Maybe what Lin Chaoci said was true.
He was indeed from the Xiao clan which had been destroyed.
To be precise, it comes from a branch of the Xiao clan from an unknown lineage.
So many years have passed.
There is a high probability that the remaining members of the Xiao clan cannot even awaken the Dou Emperor bloodline.
Back then, Xiao Xuan's desperate fight could be said to have shocked the entire Douqi Continent, because not everyone had the courage to put the bloodline of an entire clan under pressure at that moment, to die if he failed, and not even to leave a way out, and not even to accept a slow death.
This approach is indeed very confident.
But the reality is that Xiao Xuan failed.
Therefore, this approach becomes conceited.
However, after so many years, it is meaningless to evaluate whether Xiao Xuan was right or wrong. Whether Xiao Xuan was right or wrong, it has become a past recorded in history books. It is enough to know about this incident and the corresponding consequences it brings. It is enough to deal with most situations.
So, even if Lin Chaoci was from the Xiao clan.
What else can it prove?
Does this mean that Lin Chaoci is not a pure Supreme Dragon Phoenix?
Do not make jokes!
No matter what Lin Chaoci's background is.
As long as Lin Chaoci is the Supreme Dragon Phoenix.
Then, he is the recognized ancestor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Tianyao Phoenix Clan. Although the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Tianyao Phoenix Clan will not completely listen to him, if he wants to join the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan or the Tianyao Phoenix Clan, no one dares to stop him.
In addition, she is also the Supreme Dragon Phoenix.
If you have to say, she and Lin Chaoci are from the same family.
They are the same species.
Be it the Taixu Ancient Dragon, the Tianyao Phoenix, or even the ancient Tianhuang, they cannot be considered to be of the same clan as her, just like humans evolved from ancient apes, and ancient apes and monkeys can be called close relatives. If we trace history more carefully, all creatures with a backbone and spinal column have a common ancestor, and the racial distinction is only the result of acquired evolution. This principle is very suitable for Lin Chaoci.
Therefore, no matter what family Lin Chaoci came from.
Not even considering what race Lin Chaoci belongs to.
Feng Qing'er will always stand on Lin Chaoci's side.
Helping relatives but not caring.
Although this approach is prone to criticism.
But it's better than hurting your own people.
Therefore, Gu You's disdain was a provocation in Feng Qing'er's eyes. Not to mention that there was nothing funny about what Lin Chaoci had just said, even if Lin Chaoci did something embarrassing, only she, a member of the same group, would have the right to laugh, and there would be no possibility of Gu You standing by and making comments.
So, Gu You was completely confused.
He was slapped twice immediately.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was wearing the red standard light armor of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan and was also Feng Qing'er's personal maid, a Dou Wang, he was first confused, then angry, and then felt humiliated.
Even though he was suppressed by the corpse of the ancient Taixu dragon and the corpse of the ancient Tianhuang, he struggled madly: "Who do you think you are? You are just a Dou Wang, a creature as weak as an ant. You dare to attack me. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Gu You responded with two more slaps.
Although it failed to break the defense.
Even his face didn't turn red.
This Dou Wang-level personal maid really tried her best.
Even the fighting spirit was used.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength is too big.
Even if Gu You stood still and let her hit him, it would be difficult for her to cause any damage to his defense. Instead, it would be like whipping a stone. The recoil force from the blow alone made her hand slightly numb.
But breaking the defense is breaking the defense, and humiliation is humiliation.
The taunting can be said to be at its maximum.
In fact, it was not only Gu You who felt ashamed.
Most of the people present felt a chill.
This kind of chill has nothing to do with Lin Chaoci or Feng Qing'er.
It's purely because the current scene is ugly.
It is also very deterrent.
Normally, in front of Gu You, a semi-saint, they, the Dou Zun, had to be extremely vigilant. The difference between Dou Zun and semi-saint was the comprehension of space. Gu You was confident that he could capture any one of them alive in a one-on-one fight, but at this critical juncture, Gu You, who beat them like a dog, was being captured and suppressed here, like a dog being slapped, or even being executed in public by a Dou Wang who could kill them, the Dou Zun, with just a glance. It was obviously shameful.
Just put yourself in their shoes.
They felt that if they were reduced to the state of bone darkness, it would be easier to end their lives, at least they could avoid humiliation.
I would rather die in battle than be slapped in the face.
"okay."
"Don't say you can't beat him to death."
"Even if you beat him to death, he won't stop cursing until he dies."
"It's probably fair to say that it's not worthwhile to spend any effort on him."
"come back."
Lin Chaoci adjusted his cuffs.
Looking at Gu You, whose face didn't even turn red after being whipped for half a minute but whose eyes were almost spitting fire, he slowly gave orders to the guard.
Feng Qing'er also nodded.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Chaoci.
His tone was steady and his attitude was calm: "It seems that this Second Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace is not as calm as we imagined. He obviously couldn't help himself after being slightly wronged. It is really hard to imagine how such a person could become the Second Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace, and he doesn't even have basic self-control."
It seemed like he was discussing something with Lin Chaoci.
In fact, it was giving Lin Chaoci a way out.
After all, the person who did it was her personal maid.
Just listen to her.
Even if Lin Chaoci is the Supreme Dragon Phoenix, it won’t work.
If Lin Chaoci's orders were useless, then the only one who would be embarrassed would be Lin Chaoci, which was absolutely unacceptable, so she had to speak up.
This principle is similar to Xiaodie's.
Xiaodie feels the same way about Lin Chaoci.
She would not listen to anyone else's orders except Lin Chaoci.
Even the patriarch Xiao Zhan.
Or maybe it’s Master Yun Yun.
She can't be allowed to betray Lin Chaoci.
Lin Chaoci was naturally aware of this, and knew what Feng Qing'er was worried about, but since Feng Qing'er chose this method to resolve the situation, he would not really be so disrespectful and directly point out Feng Qing'er's good intentions, making both parties very embarrassed in the end.
He nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems that ordinary methods are unlikely to work on him, and his attitude is also inclined to be uncooperative. In this case, I can only regretfully use my own method to obtain information..."
What is murder and heart-breaking?
This is murder and heart-breaking!
Feng Qing'er stabbed the knife first, and Lin Chaoci drew his knife later.
The result was decided in just a few words.
Moreover, it was drafted in public.
I don't even want to act anymore.
Gu You, the second celestial master of the Soul Palace, was so angry that he flew into a rage.
But it's a pity.
He is currently unable to move.
Suppressed by two Dousheng-level corpse puppets.
No matter how many tricks he has, he can't use them.
As Feng Qing'er's personal maid left, Gu You became really panicked. After all, he didn't want to die. Seeing that there was no other way to survive, the only way to get a chance of survival was to tell the information he knew as Lin Chaoci had just said.
In fact, was there any deception in Lin Chaoci’s promise?
Of course!
Gu You is not a fool.
Of course he could think of Lin Chaoci's methods.
For example, it destroyed his cultivation.
Let him live rather than die.
He lived in fear of being discovered and even hunted down by his enemies for the rest of his life.
This would be much more satisfying than killing him.
But as the saying goes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
Even if I have to live in silence.
It's better than dying right now.
Therefore, after realizing this, Gu You no longer cared about things like face. Face is for the living. The dead never need face. Similarly, once dead, there is really nothing left. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Even from this point of view, choosing to surrender now is the right choice.
In short, for someone who wants to survive.
He can find ten thousand reasons for himself.
But for someone who doesn't want to live.
Even if there were ten thousand reasons in front of him, he would not be willing to choose.
Therefore, before Lin Chaoci could take action.
Gu You confessed everything honestly.
However, it is precisely this explanation.
Countless people present wanted to cover their ears.
"As far as I know, the Soul Clan's efforts to hunt down the Xiao Clan are not very strong. The only ones responsible for this task are our Soul Palace and its subordinate forces."
"The high-ranking officials of the Soul Clan did not go out."
"Moreover, according to what our Palace Master said."
"That is Lord Hunmiesheng."
"He said that their Soul Clan's patriarch, Emperor Soul, admired Xiao Xuan very much, and that Lord Void Swallowing Flame had also concluded that the Xiao Clan was now in name only, and its bloodline was ruined. It would be difficult for a Dou Zun to appear among the descendants. If it weren't for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, there would be no need to hunt him down."
"So, the mission that the Soul Palace has received has always been to snatch the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Xiao Clan. The other branches of the Xiao Clan are not important."
"As for where the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is..."
"To be honest, no one knows."
"The ancient tribe has done a good job of keeping secrets."
"The Soul Clan can't find out."
"Not to mention the Soul Palace where I am."
"Without any help, we can only choose to cast a wide net and catch more fish. We have to hunt down those Xiao clan branches who are not sure whether they have the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and try to pry the specific whereabouts from them."
“But in the end, nothing was achieved.”
"Until hundreds of years ago."
"That is... um... probably before Yao Chen's death."
"It's been too long considering."
"Perhaps the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Xiao clan has fallen into the hands of the ancient clan, or perhaps the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is still in the hands of the Xiao clan, but this is meaningless. Emperor Hun Tian personally changed his strategic decision and no longer pinned his hopes on the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade held by the eight ancient clans. Instead, he planned to break through to the Dou Emperor on his own."
"The matter of hunting down the Xiao clan has come to nothing."
“As for Elder Mu Gu’s attack on Yao Chen, it was purely accidental. We in the Soul Palace did not instigate it. In fact, Lord Hun Mie Sheng once said that Hun Xu Zi once advised Emperor Hun Tian about Yao Chen’s talent and that he might surpass him in the future. Moreover, even if we don’t consider the future, right now, that is, at that time, Yao Chen is qualified to be his assistant. If he joins the Soul Clan, he will be the second alchemist of the Soul Clan. Emperor Hun Tian even offered a price after discussing with Xu Wu Tun Yan: As long as Yao Chen is willing to join the Soul Clan, the Soul Clan is willing to pay out of their own pockets to refine a ninth-grade bloodline for Yao Chen, with no upper limit. They hope Yao Chen will join. How could we support Elder Mu Gu to attack Yao Chen?”
"Although our Soul Palace did accept Mu Gu."
"But that was after Yao Chen died."
"We can't possibly offend a living Dou Zun for the sake of a dead person, right?"
"Keeping a fighting force out?"
Gu You spread his hands, feeling righteous and confident.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with his self-righteousness.
Anyone would make a similar choice.
Even if it was Tang Zhen, Feng Xian, Bing Zunzhe and others.
They would not offend a living Dou Zun for the sake of a dead Dou Zun.
However, if this Dou Zun was still alive.
The results are of course another matter.
It all comes down to one sentence: Is it worth it?
Of course, for Feng Xian, it is very important that this person is Yao Chen. Feng Xian will indeed not offend a living Dou Zun for the sake of a dead Dou Zun, but he will offend any strong man in the world for the dead Yao Chen. The life and death friendship that was born out of blood and fire is enough to make Feng Xian sell everything he has and abandon his foundation to seek revenge.
Therefore, although Guyou’s conclusion is unpleasant to hear.
But most people can understand it.
There is no way to say that this approach is wrong.
Moreover, the conditions that the Soul Clan provided to Yao Chen were indeed generous.
Ninth-grade bloodline.
The hard wash kind.
It is estimated that it is not that the divine product cannot be washed out, but that there is no 100% certainty in producing the divine product. If there is 100% certainty, the Soul Clan will dare to make a promise.
Ultimately, it’s because there are too few ninth-grade alchemists.
There are many fighting saints.
Looking across the mainland, the number starts at over a hundred.
Although more than half of them don't often go out.
But there are indeed so many of them.
And what about the ninth-grade alchemist?
Two people from the medicine clan.
Danta one.
A member of the Soul Clan.
Then there is Yao Chen, who is half a step away from ninth level.
The key point is that medicine dust can be refined.
But he couldn't withstand the pill thunder and couldn't protect the pill.
God knows how much pressure Hunxuzi, the Soul Clan's number one alchemist, is under when he is surrounded by a group of Dousheng, each asking for elixirs.
Technical talents like Yao Chen.
You can make a living entirely by relying on your skills.
It doesn't matter whether you are strong or weak.
Furthermore, by changing his bloodline, Yao Chen would immediately become a legitimate member of the Soul Clan.
And then avenge my parents.
Didn’t Yao Chen just want his parents to wait on the memorial tablet?
can.
Emperor Hun Tian could even promise Yao Chen that he would do it in one go. When the time was right, he would kill the Yao clan and snatch the family tree from you. Not to mention the memorial tablet, he could even let you tamper with the family tree at will.
It’s okay even if you write your parents as the grandparents of the current clan leader.
It is possible to add unlimited generations.
There is really no need for the Soul Clan to target Yao Chen.
Even if the drug dust puts pressure on it.
The purpose is also to force Yao Chen to join the Soul Clan.
Instead of trying to kill Yao Chen.
