Hearing Yan'er's words, Ji Tianxing was filled with shock.
"Before, I thought that Huo Yan's backers were the Duanmu family, but I didn't expect that his real master was actually the prince!
Yan'er, who is that prince in the Imperial Court?
This person actually has such strong courage and means to try to control the Duanmu family?
Could it be that that prince is...the mastermind behind the alliance between the Duanmu family and the Murong family?"
Ji Tianxing had guessed a long time ago that the Duanmu family and the Murong family joined forces to deal with the Yun family, and they must have been instructed by powerful forces.
The only force that is more powerful than the two great families is the Imperial Court!
After all, no matter how powerful the Qiangu Family's power base is, it cannot be compared with the Imperial Court.
The imperial court is the emperor, and the major families are ministers, who must bow their heads and obey orders.
Yan'er nodded and said: "Brother Tianxing, you guessed it right, that prince is the third prince of the Imperial Court, and he is also the mastermind behind the control of the Duanmu family and the Murong family!
This person has great power in the Imperial Court and is usually very well hidden, so this information is extremely confidential."
Ji Tianxing frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked doubtfully: "Even if the third prince used Huo Yan's poison technique to control many wealthy families and increase his own power.
But Huo Yan only has the strength of the Tianyuan Realm, so he can only plant poisons on the strong ones in the Tianyuan Realm and control some of the strong ones in the Tianyuan Realm.
The heads of the Duanmu family and the Murong family are both powerful men in the soul refining realm! How can Huo Yan’s poison poison technique threaten a strong soul refining person?"
Yan'er nodded and said in a solemn tone: "Senior Brother Tianxing, although the poison technique is mysterious and vicious, it is not omnipotent.
Moreover, the use of voodoo is very cumbersome and complicated, and some special voodoo poisons need to be sown under specific conditions.
With Huo Yan's strength and Gu skills, he really cannot threaten the powerful soul refiner.
However, Huo Yan was obsessed with studying the art of poison and learned about a legend from ancient times.
He investigated clues from ancient books and learned that a mysterious Gu clan once existed in the Southern Wilderness.
The voodoo race is naturally capable of cultivating and manipulating voodoo poison, and is the race that is best at voodoo in the world.
In fact, the Gu clan is the birthplace of voodoo in the world, and the voodoo techniques that have been spread to this day are all learned and evolved from the voodoo clan.
According to legend, the Gu tribe possesses an infinitely powerful and supreme holy weapon, called the Source of Ten Thousand Gus.
It was a divine-level magic weapon, comparable to an artifact.
At the same time, the source of all poisons is also a holy altar, which can gather the power of heaven and earth and release unbelievably powerful poisons."
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's eyes became solemn and he murmured in a low voice: "The source of all the poisons? A soul-level magic weapon, comparable to a divine weapon?
The Gu clan and the source of all poisons existed in legends from ancient times. They no longer exist in the world. I have never even heard of them.
Yan'er, what happened next?"
Yan'er took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: "According to legend, when the ancient era was about to end, the Southern Wilderness was punished by the gods. It was a disaster that destroyed the world.
It was once a land of abundant products, with many powerful and ancient races living there, and even countless kingdoms.
But in the divine punishment that destroyed the heaven and earth, everything was destroyed and turned into scorched earth ruins.
The Gu clan also disappeared and became the dust of history.
The artifact that was the source of all poisons has also disappeared, leaving only some sporadic records and descriptions in historical books and biographies.
Huo Yan spent more than twenty years of hard work, researching almost all information related to voodoo, and finally found clues to the source of all voodoos.
The third prince of the Imperial Court saw the magic and power of Gu, and began to practice Gu to control the forces and powerful people under his command.
But if he wants to control the Duanmu and Murong families, it is impossible to achieve it by relying only on ordinary Gu magic.
Therefore, he took away Huo Yan's hard work for more than 20 years and took the information and clues about the source of all poisons as his own."
Ji Tianxing suddenly frowned and said with a sneer: "Haha, this third prince is really despicable and shameless. Huo Yan worked hard for him, but he treated Huo Yan like this.
Could it be that the third prince found the source of all the poisons after getting the clues about it?"
Yan'er nodded and said in a low tone: "The third prince is very ambitious and wants to control the two aristocratic families. However, his own strength has not reached the soul refining realm, so he can only place his hope on the source of ten thousand poisons.
He almost devoted all his strength and led countless strong men and capable people into the great swamp of the Southern Wilderness.
It is said that they spent two years in the great swamps of the Southern Wilderness, and after nearly nine deaths, they finally found the source of all the poisons.
When the Third Prince walked out of the Southern Wilderness with the Source of Ten Thousand Gus, only three of the more than 300 strong men who had followed him were still alive."
Ji Tianxing was shocked on the spot and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Hiss... there are more than 300 strong people, and only three people are left alive? How can the Southern Wilderness Swamp be so dangerous?"
Yan'er said with some emotion: "Yes, the Southern Wilderness Daze is a forbidden area of death. Legend has it that it is an abandoned place cursed by the gods.
However, there are too many ancient secrets and treasures buried there, and it is said that there is also the cave and inheritance of the Supreme Yuanshen.
Therefore, even if people in the world know that entering the Southern Wilderness Swamp will lead to death, they still cannot resist the temptation and enter it without hesitation."
Ji Tianxing immediately recalled that at the birthday banquet of Baili Divine Doctor, the birthday gift he gave to Baili Divine Doctor included several fragments of ancient artifacts from the Seven Kills Ancient Palace.
After hearing what Yan'er said again, he became even more interested in the mysterious Southern Wilderness Daze.
He secretly thought in his heart that when he was strong enough in the future, he would go to the Southern Wilderness and explore the great swamp, and maybe he would gain something.
At this time, Yan'er continued: "After the third prince obtained the Source of Ten Thousand Gus, he studied and practiced carefully for many years, and finally mastered the source of ten thousand Gus, an artifact.
It took him another five years, using various strategies and means, to use the power of the source of all poisons to poison the bodies of Duanmu Huang and the head of the Murong family.
The kind of Gu magic that the third prince cast was a divine Gu that could only be cast by Yuan Shen magic weapon, and was specially planted in the soul of a warrior.
Divine Gu is neither poison nor insect, but an invisible force similar to a spell.
Even if Duanmu Huang and the head of the Murong family had the strength of the soul refining realm, they could not withstand the erosion of the source of ten thousand poisons for five years. In the end, they were silently infected by the divine poison and controlled by the third prince.
Duanmu Huang and the head of the Murong family were normal on weekdays, but every three months on the night of the full moon, the divine poison in their souls would attack.
If there is no rescue by the divine talisman, the divine Gu will gradually devour their souls, making them irreversible and completely annihilated.
As a result, they will not even have the chance to be reincarnated after death.
Therefore, the Duanmu family and the Murong family can only obey the orders of the third prince and get a divine talisman every three months to extend their lives."
