Chapter 509: A Hundred Years of Calamity
After some polite exchanges, Ye Xing only used a little trick in the conversation to impress these elders who were highly respected in the Ice Crystal Clan. Of course, the key point of this negotiation was actually that Ye Xing once again generously donated to the Ice Crystal Clan a large number of pills and heavenly treasures that he had stored in the Tower of Babel.
When this large pile of treasure-filled pills and heavenly treasures appeared in front of several Ice Crystal Clan elders, their eyes were straight. Although their cultivation had all reached an extremely powerful realm, they had not seen many pills with different uses like these.
As Prince Leng Xuan said before, because of the lack of materials in the Misty Swamp and the backwardness of the alchemy technology of the Ice Crystal Clan, there are not too many pills that can be used in the Ice Crystal Clan.
And most of the pills that Ye Xing took out were snatched from the young heirs of the major forces when they were in the chaotic land in the east. Both quantity and quality are undoubted, but the effect of these pills on Ye Xing is not very great.
First, even if Ye Xing really wanted to enhance his cultivation, he would never rely on the external force of the pill, because the cultivation strength obtained in that way would not be stable, but would affect his potential. Second, Ye Xing had the Immortal Divine Tree protector in his body, whether he was injured or poisoned, no matter how good the elixir was, it couldn't match the vitality radiance emitted by the Immortal Divine Tree.
Therefore, these pills couldn't be more chicken in Ye Xing's opinion, since they can be used as favors for the Ice Crystal Clan in exchange for the friendship of the other party, why not do it?
"Ye Gongzi, you first saved our prince and relieved the crisis for our Ice Crystal Clan. What a shame it is to give us such a gift now! The old man has lived for hundreds of years, and he has never seen a selfless Terran warrior like you! ”
There was no doubt that Ye Xing's actions were obviously to win the friendship of several of the most powerful people in the Ice Crystal Clan for himself. Even, the four Ice Crystal Clan elders with wrinkled skin on their faces showed extremely moving light in their eyes from time to time.
"Ye Gongzi, how do you want our Ice Crystal Clan to thank you!"
Prince Leng Xuan even sighed on the spot, and couldn't help but bow deeply to Ye Xing. No one knew better than him how much influence these pills brought by Ye Xing could have within the Ice Crystal Clan.
According to this trend, as long as they are given a few more decades of time for the Ice Crystal Clan, their overall strength will definitely be qualitatively improved!
"It's just some pills that are useless to me, you don't have to, if you insist on doing so, it will be really frustrating."
Seeing this, Ye Xing shook his head, revealing a detached expression that seemed to be completely downsizing money and treasures. Seeing this, Feng Ning on the side was speechless for a while: "Ye Xing, this guy, is too capable of pretending!" ”
"Ye Gongzi, what a noble righteousness!"
For Ye Xing's generous behavior and admirable moral feelings, at this moment, in this tent, everyone except Feng Ning praised him sincerely.
"However, there is really something to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, and if it is convenient, I hope His Royal Highness the Prince can agree."
The next moment, Ye Xing was so difficult to say. At the same time, Feng Ning's spirit was shocked, and he knew in his heart that the highlight that Ye Xing had been laying the way for a long time was finally coming.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on? As long as I can do it, I will never refuse! ”
"Ye Gongzi, don't worry. Since you have a great favor to my Ice Crystal Clan, then we will also repay the favor, where the old man can do it, you can mention it! ”
As the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth and a soft hand. Sure enough, under Ye Xing's sugar-coated cannonballs, the current Prince Leng Xuan and the four elders can be described as "obedient" to Ye Xing, and the latter agreed on the spot before he even made a request.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I have four friends who fell into the misty swamp with me, if it's convenient for you, can you help me find their traces. If I can really find it, I can't thank you enough! ”
The previous little tricks were also played enough, Ye Xing stopped talking nonsense, and finally said his true purpose with a straight face. That's right, the purpose of his first coming to this Ice Crystal Clan was actually to be able to use the power of the Ice Crystal Clan to find Ling Hanyu and the others.
"This ......"
Who knows, as soon as Ye Xing's words came out, it caused the four elders and Prince Leng Xuan to hesitate. This inevitably made the former's heart sink slightly, didn't he do enough?
At least, in his opinion, this request was not too much compared to the pills he had just given away!
"Your Royal Highness, do you have any difficulties?"
The careful Feng Ning noticed the hesitation on the faces of Prince Leng Xuan and the others, and couldn't help but ask.
"I can't say the difficulty, but this matter may be a little inconvenient."
Prince Leng Xuan said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That's it, I won't hide it from the two of you, in fact, the two sons should have guessed something from what happened two days ago. In fact, more than 3,000 years ago, after our three major alien races moved into the misty swamp, they have always lived together in harmony, as close as one race. At that time, our ancestors made great efforts to survive together in peace. ”
Prince Leng Xuan thought for a while, sighed lightly and said, "It's like the ground under our feet at the moment, in fact, it was still a swampy land more than two thousand years ago, and it couldn't survive at all. If it weren't for the powerhouses of the three different races who joined forces to use their great magical powers at that time, it would have been impossible to forcibly change the terrain and turn this place into a fertile land. ”
"Three different races, living in harmony?"
Hearing this, a look of doubt suddenly appeared in Ye Xing's eyes, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Since the three of you are all living in harmony, why would the people of the Yan Demon Clan go out of their way to kidnap His Royal Highness the Prince?" It doesn't look like a harmonious coexistence, does it? ”
"Yes, as Ye Gongzi said, the three major alien races now coexist in harmony, even if they don't become enemies, it's not bad. And the relationship between our Ice Crystal Clan and the Flame Demon Clan is even more tense, and there is even a danger that a race war may occur at any time! ”
Prince Leng Xuan explained, "Speaking of which, all of this is due to a disaster that happened in the Misty Swamp a hundred years ago......
"The catastrophe of a hundred years ago?"
At this time, Ye Xing and Feng Ning glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled in their hearts, and quietly listened to Prince Leng Xuan's narration immersed in memories.
It is worth mentioning that when Prince Leng Xuan spoke, the four elders in the tent all looked solemn and sighed softly from time to time.
According to Prince Leng Xuan, it turned out that a hundred years ago, the relationship between the three major races in the Misty Swamp was still quite harmonious, and there had never been any contradictions, which could be described as happy. It's just that in the Demon Dream Clan at that time, a genius young man with amazing talent was suddenly born.
His name is Mengwei. It is said that this young man named Mengwei was extremely talented, and when he was born, the lotus flowers in the pond within a radius of half a mile bloomed at the same time, and the strange scene at that time can be described as remarkable. The auspicious omen of birth is a great event that alarms the race.
It is said that even the high priest of the Demon Dream Clan at that time was alarmed, and when he saw this baby born with auspiciousness, he was overjoyed, and even named him Mengwei himself, and accepted him as a righteous son, and taught him as his own child and apprentice.
What is amazing is that this baby named Mengwei is really talented, he has shown amazing qualifications and abilities since he was a child, and he has a special physique, and he can get twice the result with half the effort when he cultivates! Even the "Dream Return**", which has been passed down from generation to generation by the High Priest of the Demon Dream Clan, has been cultivated perfectly, and he was even elected by the three major alien races at that time to become the new generation of the High Priest of the Demon Dream Clan!
However, it was such a proud son of the sky, and in the end, he did something that almost caused the complete annihilation of the three major alien races. I still remember that it was one night, and there was a person from the Fire Demon Clan who accidentally saw the High Priest of the Demon Dream Clan appearing in a private house of the Ice Crystal Clan covered in blood, and what everyone didn't expect was that he was actually sucking human blood.
The Flame Demon Clan was quite frightened at the time, but he survived very cleverly and informed the elders of the Flame Demon Clan about it. The elder of the Yan Demon Clan questioned Meng Wei at that time, but Meng Wei refused to admit it, and also framed the Yan Demon Clan for deliberately provoking a dispute between the three major alien races, and wanted to unite the Ice Crystal Clan to crusade against the Yan Demon Clan.
In this regard, the elder of the Yan Demon Clan was naturally angry, and he didn't bother to explain in a fit of anger, so he left the Demon Dream Clan at that time. Who would have thought that in order to prevent future troubles, Mengwei actually secretly used some shady means to kill the Ice Crystal Clan everywhere, and also framed them on the body of the Yan Demon Clan.
In the end, under the instigation of Mengwei, the three alien races finally fell into an unprecedented war. Among them, the Ice Crystal Clan and the Yan Demon Clan fought the most fiercely, while Mengwei took the Demon Dream Clan to watch the battle in secret, taking advantage of the fisherman. Just when the Ice Crystal Clan and the Flame Demon Clan were both defeated, the former High Priest of the Demon Dream Clan, that is, the stepfather who taught Mengwei, finally came forward.
Under the strict investigation of the previous high priest, Mengwei's conspiracy was completely exposed. It turned out that Mengwei had secretly cultivated the forbidden art handed down from the ancient times of the Demon Dream Clan, and if he wanted to successfully cultivate this forbidden technique, he had to suck human blood as a price. This kind of practice is no different from a demon.
Mengwei knew that once the matter was revealed, it would be his end. Therefore, he chose to use a trick to provoke a great war between the three alien races, as long as the strength of the three alien races was completely exhausted, he could kill all the people and use everyone's blood to cultivate the forbidden art. The former High Priest who exposed all this conspiracy was heartbroken, but in the end he decided to use the power of the entire Demon Dream Clan to kill the already frantic Mengwei on the spot.
However, although the war is over, the misunderstanding is also resolved. But the hatred between the Flame Demon Clan and the Ice Crystal Clan has not been completely eliminated, after all, there were too many people who died back then, and the hatred between this race will not pass away so easily.
As a result, the situation in the Misty Swamp has taken shape.
