The headquarters of the Fire Sacred Rat, in the Fire Palace!
It is also a majestic hall, but this hall is the residence of the second elder Huo Ying. As the most powerful elder in the clan besides the clan leader, the hall he lives in is undoubtedly the most majestic one.
.
There were two figures in the main hall, it was the second elder Huo Ying and his supporter the third elder. However, neither of them looked very happy. They must have been in a bad mood for a while.
"How's it going? Is that guy Mujiang still following you?"
The second elder Huo Ying was the first to speak. It seemed that he had also noticed some movements during this period, but since the other party did not make a move, he would not make the first move, as that would not make sense.
After what happened some time ago, Huo Ying knew that Mu Ji hated him deeply. If given the chance, he would spare no effort to kill him and would not show any mercy.
But this is the headquarters of the Fire Palace, and now that the clan leader Xumi is in charge, Huo Ying is not afraid of the other party messing around. In fact, as long as the clan leader is neutral, he may not be afraid of the old guy Mu Ji.
After all, after many years of management, Huo Ying still has the support of many people in the clan. The third elder is the one with the clearest banner, and his overall strength is far beyond what Mu Ji can match.
However, in recent times, Huo Ying often found Mu Ji following him, but did nothing. It was not until one day that he heard that someone in his direct line was following him, and then he became alert.
Huo Ying couldn't figure out what Mu Ji wanted to do. Naturally, he didn't know about Chi Yan's disappearance. He thought that the old guy Mu Ji wanted to jump over the wall and attack him at all costs.
But these days, Mu Ji's side has shown no signs of taking action, and the people following them are not afraid of revealing their whereabouts. Everything is so blatant, which makes them a little confused.
"Why didn't you follow? I guess the old guy is waiting outside!"
The third elder turned his gaze to the palace door, then turned back and said angrily. There was a shadow following him all the time, and he didn't know the other party's intentions. It was really scary.
"Forget it, let them go. Remember, our people must not make the first move, lest that old guy Mu Ji catches us!"
Huo Ying had no good way to deal with this, except to restrain his own people. Perhaps in his view, the other party was forcing him to take action first, and he must not let the other party's conspiracy succeed.
"Have you seen that little kid Chi Yan during this time?"
Huo Ying suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask. Today's Chi Yan will definitely not be despised by him anymore. After all, Chi Yan, who has reached the middle stage of the Holy Realm and has the blood of dragon and mouse, is worthy of any elder in the clan.
of attention.
"So, it seems that I haven't seen that kid for many days. Second Elder, do you think those guys in Mujiang following us have something to do with this?"
After being reminded by Huo Ying, the third elder suddenly remembered something. After all, these situations were too unusual. As soon as these words came out, Huo Ying fell into deep thought.
The second elder of the Fire Sacred Rat Clan has a very delicate mind, which is unparalleled in the entire Northern Demon Realm, and is even a bit more powerful than some of the wily human cultivators.
From the words of the third elder, Huo Ying seemed to have realized something, and wondered if it was because Chi Yan suddenly disappeared, and Mu Ji and the others thought it was him who had done it secretly, so they sent someone to follow him, right?
The more Huo Ying thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high, but he knew very well that he had never taken the initiative to find trouble with Chi Yan.
With Chi Yan's current status within the clan, if he dares to take action first, once exposed, he may be left with nothing to lose.
But if that boy takes the initiative to leave the clan and encounters any accidents outside, it has nothing to do with Huo Ying. Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and a mysterious plan quietly took shape.
To be honest, Chi Yan's performance that day really made Huo Ying feel a little threatened. His goal has always been to become the clan leader, but now it seems that the possibility of Chi Yan becoming the next clan leader is undoubtedly getting bigger and bigger.
.
Moreover, Huo Ying also clearly knows that Chi Yan, who has the blood of dragon and rat, will definitely practice at an extraordinary speed in the future. If this kid really breaks through to the peak of the Holy Realm, he may not even be his opponent.
"This is an opportunity!"
Huo Ying murmured in his mouth, not shying away from the third elder beside him. As soon as he said this, the latter's eyes lit up. He was now tied to Huo Ying. If the elders really gained power,
Then there would be no place for him to stand.
Bang bang bang!
However, just when Huo Ying and the third elder wanted to perfect the plan, someone knocked on the door of the hall from outside. The sound even sounded a bit urgent, making them look at each other involuntarily.
Among them, Huo Ying's face looked a little ugly and angry. This was his residence. Generally speaking, no one dared to disturb him. Could it be that seeing the rise of the Great Elder, all the cats and dogs dared not to take him seriously?
?
"Come in!"
After suppressing the anger in his heart, Huo Ying made a deep voice, and then saw the door of the hall being pushed open from the outside, and a figure who was not too unfamiliar to them hurriedly ran in.
"Seventh Elder?"
It turns out that the seventh elder who hurriedly came from outside the palace is the backbone of their lineage, and the affairs that this seventh elder controls are quite complicated, one of which is in charge of the Soul Pavilion Palace.
Huo Ying and the third elder were shocked when they thought of a possibility, especially when they saw a pile of black fragments in the hands of the seventh elder, their faces became gloomy.
"Second Elder, it's not good!"
The seventh elder who had just rushed in arrived first before he arrived, and hearing his voice, Huo Ying and the third elder became more certain of their previous guesses.
"The dignified Seventh Elder, can you be more prudent in your work?"
After all, Huo Ying was the second elder who had been in charge of the Fire Sacred Rat Clan for twenty years. Even though he was shocked, he did not lose his composure. Instead, he yelled at him, which finally made the seventh elder calm down.
"What's going on?"
The third elder on the side also suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked in a deep voice. At least now, he did not clearly see the details of the fragment held in the hands of the seventh elder.
"Meng... Meng Gu's soul card is broken!"
The seventh elder took a few deep breaths before finally speaking out a single sentence. As soon as he said this, Huo Ying, who had been trying to be calm just now, could no longer remain calm. There was even an uncontrollable anger coming out of his body.
.
"What did you say?"
These words were almost squeezed out by Huo Ying from between his teeth, containing a touch of suppressed rage. Naturally, the Seventh Elder at this time would not touch this bad luck, but just moved the soul card fragment in his hand forward.
Pass it, pass it.
This time Huo Ying and the third elder finally saw the word "Valley" engraved on one of the soul card fragments. There was no doubt that this was indeed the soul card fragment of Meng Gu, the former number one saint in the Saint Hall.
.
The fragments of the soul card are broken, which means that Meng Gu is already dead. The soul of the pulse demon is not strong, and it is impossible to survive in the form of a soul.
What's more, the soul card stores a ray of the cultivator's soul. It can be said that that ray of soul is the foundation that keeps the soul card from being broken. Now that even the soul card is broken, it is obvious that Meng Gu's soul has been destroyed in the true sense.
"Asshole!"
Huo Ying, who reached out to pick up the soul card fragment, could no longer hold back and uttered harsh words, indicating the extreme anger in his heart. You must know that Meng Gu was his most proud disciple.
Although Meng Gu is no longer the number one saint in the Holy Land, he has already reached the early stage of the Holy Realm and is an important confidant he will focus on cultivating in the future.
Moreover, in Huo Ying's heart, the red flame that activated the dragon and mouse bloodline will eventually be eliminated. At that time, Meng Gu will still be the eldest brother of the Holy Descendants Hall and the heir to the next clan leader.
But now, Huo Ying spent countless resources to cultivate the first saint, so inexplicably died in an unknown place. How can this make him not angry and crazy?
"Whose are those other soul card fragments?"
The third elder was relatively calm. At a glance, he saw that there were many fragments in the hands of the seventh elder, and immediately asked out of curiosity, but then he was not in such a good mood.
"It's Shi Long and the other three saints!"
The seventh elder told the truth, and when the word Shi Long came out of his mouth, the third elder suddenly burst out with extreme anger, because Shi Long was his most proud disciple.
It can be said that Shi Long is to the three elders just like Meng Gu is to Huo Ying's heart, and because of the light of the Dragon and Rat Clan, Shi Long also broke through to the level of the half-step Holy Realm in one fell swoop.
The third elder had high hopes for this disciple who was only half a step away from breaking through to the early stage of the Holy Realm. After hearing the news, his eyes couldn't help but darken, and he could clearly feel the pain that Huo Ying felt just now.
.
"Great Elder, do you think those guys from the Moon Wolf Clan noticed something and set a trap to kill Meng Gu and the others?"
After a brief moment of losing his composure, the third elder finally calmed down a bit and suddenly remembered something. He felt that this might be the truth. If this was the case, it would be easier to accept it.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Unexpectedly, just after the third elder finished speaking, Huo Ying shook his head decisively. The affirmation in his tone made the former a little confused. He had no idea where the second elder's confidence came from.
"My intelligence cannot be wrong. This time, the strongest people sent by the Moon Wolf Clan are only in the early stage of the Holy Realm. Moreover, the enemy is clear and we are hidden. Even if we step back ten thousand steps and the trap is discovered by the opponent in advance, Meng Gu and the others still cannot escape.
Problem!"
Huo Ying talked eloquently. He was very confident in the intelligence he had obtained. This was the biggest reason why he dared to send his precious disciples to perform tasks. If there was danger, maybe he would have more considerations.
