Tian Buyi also spoke up, "Yes, this time Fenxiang Valley paid a terrible price to deal with the Beast God. This is obvious to all. Are you mistaken?"
Li Yao smiled and said calmly, "In that case, I will tell you about the origin of this Beast God!"
Yun Yilan's heart skipped a beat, and she began to feel uneasy.
However, his face remained expressionless.
"Oh, so Benefactor Li knows the origins of the Beast God?"
Pu Hong and Tian Buyi exchanged a glance, their faces showing curiosity.
They had never known the origin of the Beast God, only that it came from the Southern Frontier.
Yun Yilan has always said that he doesn't know how the Beast God came to be.
Li Yao glanced at Yun Yilan and said:
"Legend has it that more than 10,000 years ago, there was a mysterious witch tribe in southern Xinjiang, and the leader of the witch tribe was called the Witch Goddess."
"Linglong, the eleventh generation witch of the Witch Clan, in order to study the path to immortality, actually gathered the most ferocious and malevolent energy in the world and created an immortal monster, which is the Beast God..."
Li Yao recounted the origins of the Beast God and how Linglong suppressed it.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yilan felt a surge of intense emotions.
These are ancient secrets of southern Xinjiang, and even many locals in southern Xinjiang are unaware of them.
How did Li Yao learn these secrets?
However, he remained unfazed and coldly said, "Sect Leader Li, you are truly insightful. However, even if what you say is true, it does not prove that my Incense Valley is related to the Beast God!"
Li Yao chuckled softly and said, "Valley Master Yun, are you in such a hurry because you feel guilty?"
Yun Yilan snorted coldly, "If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. What do I have to be guilty of!"
Li Yao sneered and continued:
"As you all know, all the major righteous sects in the world have established their sects in the Central Plains, a land of outstanding natural beauty and spiritual energy."
"But Fenxiang Valley is different from others, as it actually established its sect in the border area between the Southern Frontier and the Central Plains."
"That place is a wild and desolate land, with treacherous mountains and rivers, and many ferocious beasts and birds of prey, which is not conducive to cultivation."
"Has no one thought about the reasons behind this?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi and the others began to ponder.
Indeed, geographically speaking, Fenxiang Valley cannot compare to the scenic beauty of the Central Plains.
However, as early as 1,500 years ago, the ancestors of Fenxiang Valley established their sect in Fenxiang Valley. Only Qingyun Sect and the Demonic Sect have a longer history than Fenxiang Valley, and even Tianyin Temple is not as good as Fenxiang Valley.
The ancestors of Fenxiang Valley could have easily established their sect in a beautiful and scenic place in the Central Plains.
However, the ancestors of Fenxiang Valley did not do this.
Clearly, there must be a reason for this.
Tian Buyi and the others all looked at Li Yao, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Li Yao smiled slightly and said:
"The reason is simple: the ancestors of Fenxiang Valley discovered a Mysterious Fire Altar in Fenxiang Valley."
"And within the Xuanhuo Altar exists a magic array called the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Magic Array!"
"Everyone has actually seen this formation before. The formation that the Beast God set up using the magic weapon Fire Basin was the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation."
"That fire dragon is the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon summoned by the magic array."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yilan could no longer remain calm. He couldn't help but exclaim, "How...how did you know all this?"
Chapter 397 Infamous
Yun Yilan regretted it the moment she opened her mouth.
His surprised question just now was tantamount to admitting what Li Yao had said.
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "So, Valley Master Yun admits that Fenxiang Valley does indeed have the Xuanhuo Altar, the Xuanhuo Altar does indeed have the Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation, and the formation used by the Beast God is also the Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation."
Yun Yilan snorted coldly, realizing she had let something slip, and her face flushed red.
However, he still tried his best to distance himself from any connection between Fenxiang Valley and the Beast God, arguing, "Even so, it cannot prove that the Beast God's invasion of the Central Plains is related to our Fenxiang Valley."
Yun Yilan's beloved disciple, Li Xun, also spoke up in defense:
“My master is right. This time, when the Beast God invades the Central Plains, our Incense Valley will be the first to bear the brunt.”
"In order to resist the invasion of the Beast God, our Fragrant Valley paid a heavy price, and even Uncle-Master Shangguan sacrificed himself."
"If it weren't for our Incense Valley's desperate efforts to stop the Beast God's invasion, your Peerless Sect would probably have already fallen!"
"Therefore, the invasion of the Beast God has nothing to do with our Incense Valley."
Yun Yilan and Li Xun's words do indeed make some sense.
It is impossible for Tian Buyi, Pu Hong, and others to conclude that the invasion of the Beast God is related to the Fenxiang Valley and Yun Yilan simply because the Beast God has some connection with the Fenxiang Valley.
Therefore, they all looked at Li Yao, hoping that he could produce direct evidence to prove that the invasion of the Beast God was related to the Incense Valley.
"Yeah?"
Li Yao glanced at Li Xun, then fixed his gaze on Yun Yilan and said coldly:
"Then let me ask Valley Master Yun, is your Incense Burning Valley's martial arts manual, the 'Incense Burning Jade Manual,' derived from the witchcraft of the Southern Frontier?"
"You've been in seclusion for over a hundred years, is it to study the secrets of 'Heavenly Fire' in the witchcraft of the Southern Frontier, and then use it to replace Qingyun, Tianyin, and the Demonic Sect to become the leader of the world?"
"Before the Beast God invaded the Central Plains, did you secretly order your junior brother Shangguan Ce to cooperate with the lich Heimu to seize the five sacred artifacts passed down by the witch Linglong from the five tribes of the Southern Frontier, and resurrect the Beast God?"
In fact, Li Yao's last sentence was a deduction he made based on the original text.
The reason he spoke in such detail was to make Yun Yilan reveal a flaw and to disrupt Yun Yilan's mind.
As expected, Yun Yilan was deeply moved upon hearing Li Yao's words.
He never imagined that Li Yao knew so many of his secrets!
Especially the last sentence, it was as if Li Yao had seen it with his own eyes.
That's terrifying!
"You...you..."
Yun Yilan stared at Li Yao, her expression one of utter shock.
In an instant, he felt that Li Yao's gaze was like an endless abyss, as deep and as dark as a prison, drawing his mind into it immediately.
Soon, he lost himself and entered a hazy, inescapable state.
"The hypnosis was finally successful!"
Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
From the very beginning, he had tried to hypnotize Yun Yilan many times, but was surprised to find that Yun Yilan was extremely shrewd and determined, making her very difficult to hypnotize.
Therefore, he revealed all the secrets he knew about Fenxiang Valley and Yun Yilan in public, hoping to find an opportunity for Yun Yilan to make a mistake and disturb her mind.
As long as Yun Yilan's mind is disturbed, he can take advantage of the situation and hypnotize Yun Yilan.
Once Yun Yilan is hypnotized, his mind will be controlled by him.
In this way, he could easily get Yun Yilan to reveal her secret.
Looking at Yun Yilan's somewhat dazed eyes, Li Yao smiled slightly and asked calmly, "Yun Yilan, let me ask you one more time, did you resurrect the Beast God?"
Yun Yilan answered mechanically, her face expressionless and her eyes vacant, "Yes!"
These words caused an uproar among those present.
"I never imagined that Yun Yilan really resurrected the Beast God?"
"In other words, the culprit behind this great catastrophe in the Central Plains is none other than Yun Yilan."
"That Yun Yilan is just too awful!"
"..."
Most of the people present glared angrily at Yun Yilan, wishing they could tear him apart alive right then and there.
During this great catastrophe in the Central Plains, many of their brothers, relatives, and teachers died.
How could they not be angry?
"Huh? How is that possible?"
"What's wrong with Master?"
"Could it be... that Master really resurrected the Beast God?"
"..."
Li Xun and several other disciples of Fenxiang Valley were dumbfounded, unable to understand why their master would suddenly admit that he had resurrected the Beast God.
Especially Li Xun, who just insisted that the invasion of the Beast God into the Central Plains had nothing to do with their Incense Valley.
At this moment, his master publicly admitted that he had resurrected the Beast God.
He felt a burning sensation on his cheeks, and was completely bewildered.
What happened to his master?
Although Yun Yilan admitted to resurrecting the Beast God, Tian Buyi, Pu Hong, and the others were all very shrewd.
They could all see that Yun Yilan seemed a little off, as if she were being controlled by Li Yao.
Ignoring the puzzled looks from Tian Buyi and the others, Li Yao continued, "Yun Yilan, tell me in detail how you resurrected the Beast God and the conspiracy between you and the Beast God."
"yes!"
Yun Yilan nodded listlessly.
Then, following Li Yao's instructions, he recounted the detailed process of his resurrection of the Beast God, as well as the conspiracy between him and the Beast God.
"So Yun Yilan wanted to use the Beast God to wipe us all out!"
