Chapter 335 Taking Advantage of a Loophole

"The air that hit me smelled of blood. You know what? I haven't smelled anything like this in the palace in years."

The night in the palace was so dark that it seemed to swallow up everything. Ning Mingmei said: "I don't think this is a sign of peace."

Wu Min smiled. Without the rendering of sunlight, his smile, though perfect under the moonlight, seemed somewhat eerie. He said, "It's a rough night, so you have to make a decision quickly."

Everything Wu Min said was really too horrifying.

The royal family is the fuse and the people are the fuel. The fire within the fire runs through history along the anchor line of the "fire rope", burning in the bodies of people all over the world, using the vitality and soul of people all over the world. The flame energy generated by its burning was used by the royal family, the Sky Monitoring Department and qi masters approved by the royal family. At the same time, it also supported the fortune of the entire dynasty.

The real body of Fire in Fire is a piece of bizarre stone. The interior is filled with endless smoke. Many years ago, the human world was enslaved by the other worlds. The Human Emperor of that year discovered this legendary stone while exploring the dark continent.

At that time, humans were weak and demons were rampant. The human world is the breeding farm and slaughterhouse among the six realms. It has strong reproductive capabilities but is defenseless and can only be slaughtered. The very few people in the human race who possess power are just witches like the Li people. If you want to have power, you can only pay the price of your life.

Was the first emperor an ambitious man, an idealist, or a conqueror? None of this is known. All in all, he finally made a contract with Flint and made an exchange. What humans value most is life, and what they lack the least is also life. He wants to use the lives of all human beings in exchange for a future where humans can also have power.

And this future will be maintained on the lifeline of the Fang royal family - also known as the line of fire. This line of fire connects the lives of all people, allowing the fire within the fire to have a core logic and burn along the line of fire. As long as the direct royal family of the Fang family is still alive and follows the line of fate, this contract is unbreakable and will always exist. After all, an entire world of tens of millions of years and the lives and souls of hundreds of millions of people are such powerful terms of exchange. Flames are "greedy" and will instinctively seek "expansion". Nothing matters more than this.

Fire in Fire and the Fang Dynasty are a mutual achievement. They become extremely powerful as they feed off each other.

However, a contract implies power, but also has limitations. When the Human Emperor made the contract, he could only influence the human realm and also mentioned the human realm. Therefore, when a mortal is able to practice and become an immortal, she will no longer be restricted by the fire within the fire. Fire within fire can only work on mortals. But fortunately, there are few people who are qualified to cultivate immortality, but there are many mortals, and there are always many mortals who die or will die in natural disasters, wars, and diseases. It is precisely because of this that the fairy world and the human world can live in peace.

Many mortals thus become "unlucky". They died suddenly, from disease, or in disasters. Wars and natural disasters also occur from time to time in various places. But it doesn't matter.

People who are like grass are destined to die. The only thing that is commendable about mortals is their ability to reproduce. Isn't it true that wildfires cannot be extinguished, but will spring up again with the spring breeze? In the past, their deaths were in vain. Even if they struggled to survive and lived for a few more decades, in the end, they would only leave behind a handful of useless earth. And now, although they died early and died tragically, they supported the future of the dynasty!

But there was one person who unintentionally threatened this chain of interests.

"Spark Island."

Weng Xingyun created a technique that can be practiced by everyone.

Moreover, she also wanted all mortals to practice together for free and on her own initiative. She has gained popularity among the people, and she is shaking the foundation of the royal rule... The royal family absolutely cannot accept such a person.

Thinking about it this way, it is somewhat ironic: many years ago, the first Human Emperor saw the tragic situation of the human world being enslaved and humiliated, and he chose his path of ignition: he sacrificed the lives of people all over the world as fuel. In that dark era when humans were enslaved, the first flames finally ignited in the human world.

Many years later, Weng Xingyun also witnessed the bullying of the human race and the division of the six realms. She also wanted to light a fire - a spark without any rules. But the human world has already chosen the flame of the Fang Dynasty, and they will not allow any other flame to exist.

As a result, they brought disaster upon themselves and the Spark Island was completely extinguished.

Perhaps, the first Human Emperor also had some sincerity. In his contract with Huo Zhonghuo, the fate of the Fang family's royal family and the souls of the direct royal family were also used as tinder. After death, the soul burns out and returns to the flint, with no further reincarnation, which is also a form of not being able to be reborn. This man used an authoritarian and resolute way to choose a path that still had a future for the world that had no way out at that time. Only thousands of years later did the road eventually become the fire that roasted others on the gallows.

And perhaps the cost of this contract is more than just the contract itself. Are the rampant human disasters in recent years also related to the price paid by the flames?

In addition, under the premise of such a contract, the Human Emperor had to set up the Sky Monitoring Bureau and let the people of the Sky Monitoring Bureau assist in guarding and using the Fire within the Fire. The first National Master of the Heavenly Guards was the younger brother of the Human Emperor. The National Master of the Heavenly Guards swore to be absolutely loyal to the Fang royal family. When the lifeline of the Fang family was held hostage by Huo Zhonghuo, their existence might be regarded as a fuse or a protective umbrella.

Flint cannot be split. The parts cut from it are of no use at all. Therefore, Ning Mingmei had to take the entire piece of flint away. And there is a fatal point here: even if Ning Mingmei takes away the flint body, the fire in the fire cannot be used by Ning Mingmei.

Unless Ning Mingmei establishes a new contract with it, sets new burning rules and a new burning executor (Lord of Burning) (Fire Rope) for Fire in Fire, allowing Fire in Fire to find a new burning location and new fuel. Only in this way will Fire within Fire recognize Ning Ming Mei as its master and be used by Ning Ming Mei.

And this also requires a prerequisite: the contract between Fire in Fire and its previous contractor (Hot Rope) has been terminated.

At the beginning, the promise made by the first Human Emperor was to give up the entire lifeblood fire, life and soul after death of the Fang family's royal family in exchange for the Fang family's royal family's ability to use the soul fire energy of mortals. Considering that his own soul was within the promised price, the Human Emperor designated every generation of the royal family of the Fang family as the executors of the contract.

-By the way, the lifeline of the Fang family's royal family was also written down and tied to the contract of Fire in Fire. Although many innocent royal family members died young or were killed in the process, it can be regarded as a far-sighted act that will be passed down through the ages.

In other words, in terms of the condition of the Fang family's heir, as long as the Fang family has a living descendant who is a mortal (or has low cultivation) and can inherit the throne, the contract can continue to be maintained.

——This is a necessary but not sufficient condition. Ning Mingmei took note of it in his mind.

Unless the contract is broken, Ning Mingmei will not be able to use Fire within Fire. If Ning Mingmei tries to take it by force by attacking, Fire in Fire will also burn wildly, using its fuel to fight Ning Mingmei. But the fuel for the fire within the fire is the lives of people all over the world.

——Let’s not talk about the question of whether we can win or not. The fire was obtained, but all the mortals in the world died. Is this what you wanted?

Ning Mingmei therefore concluded that if he wanted to seize Huo Zhong Huo, he must first break the contract between the Fang family and Huo Zhong Huo, and after the fire was extinguished, he must make a bid that was attractive enough to Huo Zhong Huo before anyone else made a bid, so as to obtain the right to use the flame. And to ignite a fire within a fire, a strong ignition source is required. A qualified ignition source should have the potential to be tapped and involve enough causes and effects, and the person who ignites the ignition should also have sufficiently firm determination and a large enough sphere of influence.

The point about determination is easy to understand - if the will to sign the contract is not firm enough and the soul power is not strong enough, the bidder will be regarded as an invalid bidder by Huo Zhonghuo. This is how Ning Mingmei understands the scope of influence.

For example, the Firestarter is a beggar from the human race who has nothing, but he wants to use the lives of the entire God race to light a fire. Then there is only one result -

The entire God Clan: Who is your father?

Fire in Fire: Laugh.

Human beggars cannot have any influence on the gods, and have no close connection with them. Huo Zhonghuo did not believe that it was possible for a human beggar to control the lives of the entire God race, and thought that the contract could not be achieved, so he would not be ignited.

But if this human beggar is replaced by Minglong, and she wants to use the lives of the entire God Clan to ignite a fire - then Huo Zhonghuo can be ignited, because Huo Zhonghuo recognizes that Minglong can have a big enough impact on the entire God Clan, and she has the ability or potential to exterminate the clan. But this is also a very short-lived business. The people of the God Clan will die, and Minglong will also die. When the fuel runs out and the person who started the fire dies, the contract for starting the fire naturally comes to an end.

After all, nothing in this world is immortal. Otherwise, the first Human Emperor would not have racked his brains to tie the lifeblood of the Fang family to the Fire in Fire contract so that everything could be long-lasting and peaceful.

In addition, you should carefully consider the terms of the contract to avoid accidentally putting yourself in danger. Ning Mingmei was not worried about the consequences of breaking the fire within the fire method. After the fire within the fire is broken and the Qi Master disappears, he can use Weng Xingyun's old skills to teach the people to practice. By then, the territory of Piaomiao Peak can be expanded and a lot of tuition fees can be collected.

Ning Mingmei felt that this matter was very complicated. Other people's cultivation of immortality involves killing people and stealing treasures, but his cultivation of immortality involves following strange rules and even company bidding. If he guessed correctly, there was another party that wanted to bid like him, and that was the Crescent Moon Sect.

But the Crescent Moon Cult is so confident. Have they thought of some way to break the contract with the Fang family?

In fact, Ning Mingmei could also understand it. The best way to break the Fang family's contract is to distort the Fang family's lifeline and kill all the members of the Fang family. Perhaps this is also the purpose of the Crescent Moon Cult's stirring up trouble in the human world and supporting the wrong prince to ascend the throne over the years. If he is a member of the Crescent Moon Sect, then tonight will most likely be the day when the Fang family will be exterminated.

"But there is one thing that no one knows. In fact, over the years, Huo Zhonghuo in the Tianjian Division has been very weak." Wu Min said, "Before the Crescent Moon Cult supported the Eighteenth Prince, the contract between the Dynasty and Huo Zhonghuo had been breached twice."

"One of those times was Tang Wan, right?"

"Yes." Wu Min said, "Someone stole the show and replaced Tang Wan..."

He looked towards the willow trees by the roadside, and at that moment, he seemed to hear that bright voice again.

"...This wrong contract should have been ended long ago!"

"Wu Min, this is not the only way for humans to protect themselves!"

"If the plan fails, I will pay with my own life. I was arrogant about my talent, but it led to her death... This is what I deserve."

But that was hundreds of years ago.

Ning Mingmei asked, "What about the other breach of contract?"

"Earlier, during the time of the Demon Concubine." Wu Min said, "You may not know that what the Demon Concubine wanted to do back then was to use her own child to steal the power of Fire in Fire. I don't know if she succeeded, but after that, Fire in Fire was indeed damaged. So I think the physique of the child related to it may also be very special."

Ning Mingmei: ...

Wait, it seems like he is not a descendant of the Fang family at all.

It seems that Huo Zhonghuo is not good at paternity testing. I wonder if there is any way for Huo Zhong Huo to give some benefits to someone like him who is similar to the Fang family but not the Fang family, without charging any fees, so that he can take advantage of some loopholes?
