Ji Tianxing and the others found the key clues, and the next step was left to Master Black Feather.
They believed that with Master Black Feather's strength, means and status, they would be able to find out the results soon.
The three of them bowed and said goodbye, leaving Black Feather Palace and went back to the cave to rest.
Ji Tianxing returned to Tianxing Palace, where he had been away for a long time, and immediately summoned the housekeeper to report the news.
It has been half a month since he left Tianxing Palace and went to Yunling Palace with Yun Yao.
In the past half month, he was not in Tianxing Palace, but several people came to see him and left some messages and letters.
Ji Tianxing sat in the main hall, listening to the butler's report, and making decisions and replies one by one.
Most of the people who came to see him were the sons of the emperor's palace.
Most of the letters and messages received by the housekeeper contained less important news.
Only one piece of news from Qingfengyuan caught his attention.
"Lord Territory Lord, this is a letter from Qingfeng Yuan. According to the guards of the Imperial Palace, the sender is a white ape who once mentioned Young Master Yan'er."
While reporting the news, the butler handed over a letter with both hands.
"A letter from Bai Yuan? Is it a letter written by Yan'er to me?" Ji Tianxing stretched out his hand and grabbed the letter from the air into his palm.
He opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully.
The content of the letter is very short, only one sentence, and it was written by Yan'er.
"Senior Brother Tianxing, I just returned to Zhongzhou City today and am temporarily staying in Qingfeng Courtyard. I have important news to tell you."
A smile flashed in Ji Tianxing's eyes, he raised his eyebrows and asked the housekeeper: "Butler, when was this letter sent?"
The butler quickly replied: "As my lord, I sent it early this morning."
"Okay, I'm going to Qingfeng Courtyard now." Ji Tianxing put the letter away and hurriedly left Tianxing Palace and rushed to the exit of the Emperor's Mansion.
Half an hour later, he left the Emperor's Mansion and rushed to Qingfeng Courtyard in Yulong Lane.
When he entered Qingfeng Yuan and rushed to the main hall of the second courtyard, he saw Yan'er and Beast King sitting in the main hall talking.
An old man and a young man were drinking tea and chatting. The Beast King asked Yan'er with concern whether the return to the Fire Tribe went smoothly, what happened, etc.
When Ji Tianxing entered the hall, Beast King and Yan'er immediately stopped talking and both turned to look at him.
"Senior Brother Tianxing, are you back so soon?" Yan'er showed an expression full of excitement and joy, obviously not expecting Ji Tianxing to come to him so soon.
The Beast King smiled and said to Ji Tianxing: "Tianxing, you haven't been to Qingfeng Yuan for a long time.
If Yan'er hadn't come back today, I don't know when you would have come to visit me."
Ji Tianxing walked up to the two of them, said hello to them, and said to the Beast King with a smile: "Senior Beast King, don't blame me. I, the junior, have been busy with worldly affairs recently and really have no time to spare.
No, this junior is free today and will come to visit you immediately."
The Beast King showed a happy expression on his face and laughed and said: "Hahaha... Although I know you are lying, I feel relieved after hearing this.
Okay, I won't disturb you anymore.
You must have something to come to see Yan'er, so you two should talk slowly."
The Beast King exchanged greetings with Ji Tianxing, then stood up and left the hall.
Only Ji Tianxing and Yan'er were left in the main hall, and it suddenly became quiet.
Ji Tianxing sat down next to Yan'er and asked, "Yan'er, you've only been away for two months, and you're back so soon?
Is your journey back to the Fire Tribe going smoothly this time?"
Yan'er nodded and said, "Well, everything went well on the way."
Ji Tianxing asked again: "Where is Huo Yan? Has he been escorted back to the Fire Tribe? How did your father deal with him?"
Yan'er showed a smile, nodded and said: "Senior brother, you crippled Huo Yan back then, and I and the emperor personally escorted him, so of course the journey went smoothly.
After we took Huo Yan back, my father, in accordance with the rules and laws of the Fire Tribe, sentenced Huo Yan to death and beheaded him in public.
However, before my father executed Huo Yan, he used various secret methods and methods to interrogate a lot of information from his mouth.
The news was shocking, related to the secrets of the Duanmu family, and even the Imperial Court.
I guess Senior Brother Tianxing you will be interested, so I will rush back as soon as possible and tell you this matter in person."
Ji Tianxing suddenly frowned, a glimmer of light came from his eyes, and he said with some surprise: "Is it related to the secrets of the Duanmu family? It is also related to the Imperial Court?
Yan'er, what information did you get from Huo Yan's mouth?"
Yan'er frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a solemn tone: "Brother Tianxing, don't worry, our interrogation has revealed a lot of shocking news, let me tell you slowly.
Huo Yan was the high priest of our Fire Tribe back then. He was originally a highly respected person and was highly valued and trusted by my father.
But later, when he married the seventh princess of the Changli tribe, his temperament changed drastically and he became a selfish, despicable, cruel and vicious evil man.
The main reason is that his wife failed to steal the Vulcan Crystal and was executed by my father, so he held a grudge.
But there is a more important reason: he was poisoned by his wife and had to help his wife do evil!"
"Poison?" Ji Tianxing frowned and said in a solemn tone: "I happened to be investigating the matter of magic poison these two days. The emperor once mentioned that some ancient tribes in the southern wilderness have the mysterious poison of poison.
It is a technique that can kill people invisible and control other people's life and death."
Yan'er nodded quickly and said: "The emperor is right! There are indeed many ancient tribes in the southern wilderness, and they still master the ancient and mysterious art of poison, and the Changli tribe is one of them."
Ji Tianxing asked with a playful smile: "What about your Fire Tribe? Have you mastered the Gu technique?"
Yan'er quickly shook his head, "The poison technique is too evil and vicious. We, the Fire Tribe, regard it as a taboo and will never touch it.
Moreover, our Fire Tribe has strict laws and regulations, and if our tribe members practice Gu in private, they will be severely punished."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a smile: "Well, that's good. Yan'er, please continue."
Yan'er continued to narrate: "Huo Yan learned the mysterious voodoo technique from the Changli people through his wife, and secretly practiced and experimented with it.
This is one of the reasons why he was severely punished by my father and expelled from the Fire Tribe.
After Huo Yan fled to Zhongzhou, he hung out for a few years, and actually got involved with the human imperial court. He was taken under the command of a prince and worked for that prince.
With the help of the prince's power, he adopted the second wife of the Duanmu family as his adopted daughter.
Later, he helped the second wife sneak into the Duanmu family, and gradually improved his status, and finally became Duanmu Huang's second wife.
The reason why Huo Yan did this was because he was instructed by the prince.
Because that prince has great ambitions.
Not only did he use Huo Yan's poison skills to secretly control many powerful families, he even wanted to control the Duanmu family and make the Duanmu family obey his orders!"
