Two thousand five hundred and sixty-three, it's time to try to change it!
"Okay, Huo Ying, you actually secretly colluded with the Canglong Imperial Palace. Are you trying to rebel against the clan?"
Mu Ji, who was in a state of anger, was also a bit arrogant at the moment. Hearing his words, Yun Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly and thought to himself, isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?
Yun Xiao's mind was much more powerful than Mu Ji's. He had already seen the hesitation in Huo Ying's heart by observing his facial expressions. He knew that the second elder of the Fire Palace did not want to fight Mu Ji openly.
I've been in a dilemma.
With Yun Xiao's keen eye, he could naturally guess Huo Ying's concerns. In any case, this was also the headquarters of the Fire Sacred Rat Clan. Once the news that he and Mo Xun teamed up to deal with Mu Ji were leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.
Although joining forces with Mo Xun, there is a certain chance of killing Mu Ji here without anyone noticing, Huo Ying is obviously not willing to take this risk. With his stoic temperament, he prefers to fight slowly and step by step.
The pinnacle of power.
But when it was so difficult to make a decision, Mu Ji wanted to add fuel to the fire, which made Yun Xiao go a little crazy. He secretly said to me, great elder, aren't you doing a disservice?
Although Yun Xiao has broken through to the early stage of the Holy Realm, with his current strength, even if he uses all his methods, he can barely compete with the strong men in the late stage of the Holy Realm.
Mo Xun and Huo Ying are both strong men at the peak of the Holy Realm. No matter which one holds Mu Ji back, he will have to face a strong man at the peak of the Holy Realm alone. This is the result he least wants to see.
.
"Huo Ying, did you hear that the great elder of the Fire Sacred Rat clan has labeled you as a traitor to the clan? Do you think that if you don't take action today, you will get good results?"
Although Mo Xun was filled with anger, he spoke out at this moment, with extremely good timing. On the basis of Mu Ji's mocking words just now, he once again added fire to Huo Ying's psychological defense.
Hearing Mo Xun's words, Yun Xiao's face couldn't help but become a little more ugly. He could see that Huo Ying was on the verge of a tangle. Perhaps one more straw could completely defeat his last line of defense.
collapse.
"Huo Ying, don't forget that the Heavenly Blood Devouring Powder in Chi Yan was handed over to you personally by the Empress. Do you think Mu Ji can really let you go after this incident?"
The scene that Yun Xiao least wanted to see finally happened. At this time, Mo Xun no longer had any scruples. If he didn't drag Huo Ying into the same boat as him, it would be impossible for him to save his old life.
Liveable.
"Have you not always wanted to sit on the position of great elder or even clan leader? I promise you, as long as you help me this time, Canglong Imperial Palace will spare no effort to help you reach the top!"
What Mo Xun said next completely shattered the extravagant hopes in Yun Xiao's heart. This was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. The tangled look in Huo Ying's eyes disappeared instantly.
.
"Huo Ying, you... you are so brave!"
It was only then that Mu Ji finally learned some obscure secrets from Mo Xun. Apart from the Chi Yan poisoning case that he had always suspected, he never expected that this Huo Ying would be so ambitious.
This old guy not only covets his position as the Great Elder, but now he also cares about the position of the clan leader. In the past, Mu Ji only thought that Huo Ying was a bit cruel, but he did not expect that he had far underestimated this person.
The second elder of the Fire Palace.
"Great Elder, have you ever heard of the saying that the brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death?"
Now that the decision has been made, with Huo Ying's temperament, he will not drag his feet anymore. I heard him say: "In the hands of the clan leader and you, the Fire Sacred Rat has long lost its glory. The Fire Sacred Rat is so sluggish."
It’s time for the rat clan to try to change!”
Perhaps this is what Huo Ying really thinks deep down in his heart. He has always had strong ambitions, but the power in his hands is limited, and he cannot do many things he wants to do.
It was not until twenty years ago that the First Elder became disheartened because of his only daughter. Huo Ying seized this opportunity and cultivated party members, and his power almost surpassed that of the current leader of the Fire Sacred Rat Clan.
But this still cannot satisfy Huo Ying. His ultimate goal is to sit on the throne of the leader of the Fire Sacred Rat Clan, so that he can completely let go of his fists and no longer be constrained from within.
With Huo Ying's strength, even the great elder Mu Ji may not be able to defeat him, let alone the more powerful clan leader. That's why he chose to collude with the human overlord Canglong Imperial Palace.
The Canglong Emperor and his wife, who were worried about not being able to find a target for the Northern Demon Realm, were overjoyed when they saw Huo Ying, the second elder of the Fire Sacred Rat, coming to their door on their own initiative. The two parties hit it off and got what they wanted, and a secret alliance was formed.
But what Huo Ying didn't know was that the reason why Canglong Emperor agreed to help him was because after breaking through the Fire Sacred Rat Clan's defense line from the inside, only one of Huo Ying's Fire Sacred Rat Clan was left, and I'm afraid there will only be one from the Fire Sacred Rat Clan from now on.
He will be the puppet of Canglong Emperor Palace.
This is a bridge for the Canglong Emperor to open up the situation in the Northern Demon Realm. With his ambition, he must be satisfied with more than just unifying the entire human territory. In fact, the Canglong Emperor Palace is already the absolute overlord of the human territory.
When the time comes, it will be the Cang Long Emperor's overall plan to use the Fire Sacred Rat Clan as a springboard to control the entire Northern Demon Realm. Finally, with the power of the two clans, he will wipe out the nest of the alien spirits in one fell swoop and complete the unprecedented unification of the Nine Layers of Dragon Sky.
If nothing else goes wrong, Emperor Canglong's plan really has a chance of success. Unfortunately, he had calculated that when he sent the three elders of the Imperial Palace to the Fire Palace, an irreversible accident occurred.
These were all details that Huo Ying and Canglong Emperor and his wife had discussed secretly. They originally wanted to delay it for a while, remove the clan leader and the great elder without anyone noticing, and then find a reason to announce it to the public.
At that time, the second elder Huo Ying, who had already established his prestige, naturally took the position of leader of the Fire Sacred Rat Clan. This was the safest way.
Originally, Mo Xun was also a very cautious person, otherwise the Canglong Emperor and his wife would not have sent him to attack the front line. However, he did not expect that he was poisoned by the Heavenly Blood Devouring Poison, which greatly changed the plan this time.
Change
Everyone cherishes their life, even the most powerful person in the Holy Realm like Mo Xun is not immune, because he has no time to rush back to the headquarters of Canglong Emperor Palace to get the antidote. The young man named Yun Xiao in front of him is his.
The last life-saving straw.
"Huo Ying, you... you are a traitor!"
If Mu Ji's casual taunting words before were just threats, then his voice now had a hint of trembling, because he knew that the situation was probably extremely critical.
"Rebel? I, Huo Ying, can't bear the title of Great Elder. Besides, Elder Mo just wants to catch an outsider. As long as the Great Elder lets go, I won't fight with you!"
At this time, Huo Ying still stands on the commanding heights of morality, but he said "I won't do anything". In fact, he knows Mu Ji's temperament well, and at this time, he will never compromise.
.
Now that his secret has been exposed, it is impossible for people like Huo Ying to let any hidden dangers exist in this world.
In other words, in this room today, neither Mu Ji and Yun Xiao, two normal people, nor Chi Yan, who was trapped in a certain state, could leave alive.
"If you want to touch Yunxiao, step over my corpse first!"
As expected by Huo Ying, when he said these words, Mu Ji's old face was filled with anger, and his tone was extremely decisive, with no intention of compromising at all.
"Mu Ji, I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it yourself!"
At this moment, Huo Ying didn't even call the Great Elder, and he also believed that with the joint efforts of him and Mo Xun, it would be impossible for Mu Ji to escape, so his plan could not be considered a failure.
As long as what happened in this room is not spread, with Huo Ying's current control over the Fire Sacred Rat clan, even if those clan members have suspicions, they will not dare to ask him.
When he thought of this, Huo Ying was actually a little excited. Although it was safer to develop step by step, it would inevitably take a long time, which was actually contrary to his ambition.
Mo Xun's sudden attack today left Huo Ying with no way out. Once Mu Ji was allowed to escape, not only would his position as the second elder be in jeopardy, he would not even be able to stay in the Fire Palace any longer.
The crime of colluding with human cultivators to attack the chief elder of the clan is much more serious than when Mu Ji's precious daughter fell in love with a human man. It is not even comparable in the slightest.
No matter how high Huo Ying's status was in the Fire Sacred Rat Clan, once he is found guilty of treason, he will be doomed, just like Yun Xiao, the Dragon Sky God of War back then.
At that time, the Dragon Sky God of War was so popular that he was almost invincible in the whole continent. Unfortunately, he died tragically and suffered too much infamy after his death. This is the best lesson to learn from the past.
There are some things that cannot be said. The rules of every family and sect list the crime of treason and treason as the first priority. Once such a traitor appears, there will never be any tolerance.
In this case, Huo Ying can only kill and silence him, and the biggest enemy in his eyes is naturally Mu Ji, his old rival who has been fighting secretly for many years. At this moment, after he made up his mind, his aura instantly locked on the Fire Palace leader.
Great Elder.
"Hmph, you want to stop me even with your three-legged cat skills?"
Seeing Huo Ying's aura locked onto him, Mu Ji couldn't help but snorted, with a look of disdain on his face. As the elder of the Fire Sacred Rat Clan, he was quite confident in his own strength.
But what Mu Ji didn't see was the flash of light in Huo Ying's eyes when he finished speaking.
