Chapter 749: What Happened Back Then
"But..." Mengdie's face was still full of embarrassment. "Your Highness, the Emperor has already issued an order. No one can mention those things again."
When His Highness's spirit was nearly dissipated, the Emperor nearly became a demon to save Him. It's no exaggeration to say that the entire world was shattered. The Emperor even drew evil spirits into his body and used forbidden techniques to barely preserve a wisp of His Highness's spirit.
Originally, she had a strong grudge against the Emperor, believing him to have caused the death of Her Highness. However, after seeing the Emperor's near-madness, she realized that the Emperor was the one most heartbroken by Her Highness's misfortune, and had even nearly gone insane.
What happened back then was so tragic that the Emperor has issued an order that no one in heaven or on earth is allowed to mention this matter again.
"To be honest, I should be considered one of the parties involved!" Zhong Nianyao raised a self-deprecating smile, "Or do you think that even I don't know this?"
"No, how could that be?" Mengdie said quickly, "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the Emperor once issued an order that anyone who dares to mention that matter again will be spared. I am just a small immortal, and I really don't dare to disobey the order."
"Don't worry, he won't dare do anything." Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "As long as I'm here, I will definitely not watch you get punished. Just tell me!"
"If you don't tell me, it means that I, your master, am not as important as Yichen in your heart."
After hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said, Meng Die became anxious. She didn't dare to hide anything and immediately told everything that happened that year.
As Mengdie narrated, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but recall the little things that had happened between her and Lu Yichen, which contained both sweet memories and painful ones.
Emperor Yichen was the divine master of the Nine Heavens, ruler of the entire universe. His Highness Yaoxi was the last pure-blooded nine-tailed fox in the world. With one in the Nine Heavens, the other residing in Qingqiu, their paths clearly shouldn't have crossed.
But fate likes to play jokes.
Yaoxi is the last nine-tailed fox in the world. As a noble, she has been the master of Qingqiu since birth. However, she has a lively personality and dislikes being restrained. When she has free time, she likes to travel to the mortal world to play.
This was not a big deal, but who would have thought that when Yao Xi came down to earth to play, she happened to meet Emperor Yi Yichen who happened to be down to earth!
Two people who had no connection with each other fell in love at first sight and soon got together.
The two of them together almost caught everyone's attention. They had never imagined that two people who seemed to be completely incompatible could actually be together like this, and even live a sweet and happy life every day.
If things had continued to develop in this way, it would undoubtedly have been the best. Unfortunately, Zhong Nianyao was instigated by someone and mistakenly believed that Lu Yichen was with her for their Qingqiu's most precious treasure - the Fox Heart.
The Fox Heart, the heart of the fox clan's ancestor and the first nine-tailed fox before its demise, is the most precious treasure of Qingqiu. It's rumored that the Fox Heart can reunite the spirits of dissipated gods, allowing them to be resurrected.
Historically, the Fox Heart has always been kept by the Lord of Qingqiu himself.
Yao Xi was young and hot-headed at that time. After hearing such instigation, he did not go directly to Emperor Yichen to verify, but investigated privately on his own, and as a result, he really found some clues.
Legend has it that the former Emperor Yichen had a beloved female deity, who later perished in the great war between gods and demons, her spirit and soul destroyed. Later, Emperor Yichen sought various methods to reunite the spirit of the female deity, but to no avail. Consequently, he set his sights on the treasure of Qingqiu.
Because he was worried that Yaoxi would not give up the fox heart, he approached Yaoxi on purpose, hoping that after capturing Yaoxi's heart, he could find a way to trick Yaoxi into giving up the fox heart.
After thinking that she knew all the truth, Yao Xi went straight to Emperor Yi Chen to confront him.
Emperor Yichen was naturally unwilling to admit such a groundless accusation, but no matter how he explained, Yaoxi refused to believe it.
In the end, he was probably angry about Yaoxi's distrust of him, so he refused to explain any further and even left directly.
Yao Xi was so angry that she went straight back to Qingqiu.
However, on the way back to Qingqiu, she was framed and eventually lost her soul.
After Yao Xi's soul was annihilated, Emperor Yi Chen also went mad. He used various methods to try to gather Yao Xi's soul, but to no avail. Even after using the legendary Fox Heart, it had no effect.
Finally, he used a forbidden technique, and during this process, his body was invaded by evil spirits.
No, perhaps it should be said that the evil spirit originally belonged to him.
Emperor Yichen was born with heaven and earth and lived as long as heaven and earth.
Since the beginning of time, there has been light and darkness, good and evil. However, since Emperor Yichen became a divine master, the righteous side of him has always been revealed to the world.
From his usual indifference, it can be seen that he is actually indifferent by nature. All his enthusiasm is on Yaoxi, and now with Yaoxi's accident, the evil part in his body has been triggered.
After the evil spirit entered his body, Emperor Yichen's temperament changed drastically. He was just aloof before, but after the evil spirit entered his body, he became cold and ruthless.
His methods also became ruthless. All those who had participated in the conspiracy to harm Yao Xi were sentenced to death, their souls were scattered, and they were not even qualified to be reincarnated again.
Not only that, while he was trying to retrieve Yao Xi's soul, he also had no intention of letting the person behind the plot go. As long as there was even the slightest suspicion, he would not spare any effort, and would not listen to any arguments, and would directly sentence them to death.
During that period of time, people all over the world were in a state of panic.
When the demons heard this news, they thought it was a good opportunity to attack the gods. So the demon king immediately gathered his troops and launched a fierce attack on the gods.
In the past, Emperor Yichen rarely intervened in attacks from the demon world. Most of the time, he left it to his subordinates to deploy and fight.
He knew very well in his heart that in this world, the balance between good and evil cannot be broken, otherwise the way of heaven will be unbalanced, which will not be a good thing for either the world of gods or the world of demons.
However, this time, he personally took part in the battle between gods and demons.
