Chapter 696: Fish Hiding in Deep Water



After entering the hall, Ye Qiu could clearly feel a cold and bleak chill blowing towards him.

The whole hall seemed particularly gloomy and cold.

This is the influence of the evil spirit, so much so that even being in the hall makes people feel creepy.

"Hmm... Interesting! It seems that the demons are coming with great force this time."

“Such a strong demonic energy must be of a high level… It seems that this time, this piece of land that has been silent for many years is going to become lively.”

Ye Qiu smiled faintly, feeling the cold demonic energy in the hall, and fell into a state of speculation.

"Brother, this is the Fire Emperor."

Bai Junlin walked to the front and pointed to the depths of the hall, where a middle-aged man was lying peacefully on a flat bed.

This person is the current emperor of the Skyfire Empire, Fire Emperor Jiang Buwang.

This was a leader of great talent and strategy. He registered at a young age, worked hard to govern the country, expand the territory, and brought the Fire Nation to a height that did not belong to it.

This empire rose because of him and will begin to decline because of his fall.

Ye Qiu had already met the Crown Prince Jiang Ming just now, and he only had one sentence to say about his evaluation.

Too cautious, but not bold enough.

If he were a king who only maintained the status quo, it might not be bad.

Ye Qiu slowly walked up to Jiang Buwang and looked at his closed eyes and pale face, as if he was in great pain.

He looked very haggard, and one could sense how much torture he had endured during this period of time.

Ye Qiu walked up to him and was about to reach out to take his pulse and check his physical condition.

Suddenly, Jiang Buwang opened his eyes suddenly, and an astonishing demonic energy was released instantly.

"Um?"

This sudden change scared Bai Junlin, "Brother, be careful!"

But before he could make a move, Ye Qiu had already noticed it. With a slight wave of his right hand, he instantly dispelled the evil spirit.

A ball of red fire filled the air, burning away all the evil energy.

"Red Lotus Karma Fire!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Junlin was shocked and stopped talking.

He was well aware of how terrifying his older brother was, so his worries were unnecessary.

If even his elder brother couldn't suppress this kind of evil spirit, then it would be even more impossible for him.

Thinking of this, Bai Junlin finally felt relieved.

"Such a strong demonic energy! It seems that someone has planted some kind of curse in his body, and it has taken root in his body."

Bai Junlin frowned and analyzed slowly.

Ye Qiu had already seen through it, so he slowly and gently injected a force into the Fire Emperor's body to relieve his pain.

Then he said, "Strange, who is so vicious that he planted a curse in his body? Do they want him to become a demon puppet?"

Ye Qiu was very confused. Judging from the current situation, the Fire Emperor was in a high position, owned millions of miles of territory, and was supported by the people. His value was indeed very high.

If someone is interested and can control him, he can indeed create more benefits.

But Ye Qiu didn’t understand who had the means to plant the curse without anyone noticing, and no one in the entire Fire Nation royal family noticed it.

Through the observation just now, Ye Qiu has already understood some of the mysteries of this curse.

This curse was not cast when the Fire Emperor was injured; it was not cast long ago.

So it should have been planted by someone with intention during the Fire Emperor's subsequent treatment after he was brought back to the palace.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu suddenly smiled.

"Haha, this is interesting! Can we catch a fish hiding deep in the water so quickly?"

"Then let me see where this fish came from."

Ye Qiu smiled knowingly. He had assumed from the beginning that the attack of the demons this time was not accidental, but someone did it on purpose.

There might be many powerful forces involved here, but they don't show up, so Ye Qiu can't find them at all.

But now it’s different. With the existing conditions, Ye Qiu can roughly identify a big fish first.

"Brother, do you want to?"

Seeing Ye Qiu's half-smile, Bai Junlin seemed to be thinking about something and also smiled knowingly.

"Follow the clues! You can always find some clues."

"If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it yourself. At least now it seems that we have found a breakthrough, and this breakthrough is the person in front of us, the Fire Emperor..."

Ye Qiu smiled slightly, and then said: "Okay! We will discuss this matter later. Let's help His Majesty the Fire Emperor to remove the curse in his body first."

Getting back to the topic, Ye Qiu slowly walked to the front of the Fire Emperor. Bai Junlin did not disturb him and stood silently behind him to protect him.

After carefully observing the changes in the demon curse, Ye Qiu already had an idea.

In general, this curse is very difficult to deal with. It has taken root in every acupoint of the Fire Emperor's limbs and bones, and even the life ring has been eroded.

Most of his energy had been sucked away, and he looked extremely old, like an old man about to die.

In this case, even if Ye Qiu removed the curse from his body, he would not have many years to live.

"Hmm... This seems more like a form of sacrifice. I've had the honor of seeing this before. It's really difficult..."

Ye Qiu seemed to be thinking about something, muttering to himself.

It is obviously impossible to cure it successfully using conventional secular methods, unless something more exotic is used.

This method of sacrifice was also used by Tian Meng in the past, but it was even crazier than this.

At the beginning, Tian Meng wanted to sacrifice the entire human world in order to achieve a great catastrophe in order to become an immortal.

It was a pity that she met the older generation of the Butian Sect who had fought to the death and stopped her shocking massacre at the cost of their blood.

"Brother, how should we treat it?"

Bai Junlin looked at the silent Ye Qiu and asked curiously.

Ye Qiu did not answer, but just turned around to look at the countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness behind him.

After a while, he suddenly raised his hand, and in an instant... a cloud of fog instantly submerged the entire hall, and everyone's vision became blurred.

Ye Qiu said slowly: "Protect me, and leave the rest to me."

Bai Junlin nodded, stood behind Ye Qiu with a dignified look, and stared at the dark corners in the hall.

Ye Qiu took out a strange drop of water from the storage jade.

The moment he saw the water drop, Bai Junlin's expression trembled and he was particularly shocked.

“Water of life!”

Bai Junlin was extremely shocked. He did not expect that the elder brother whom he respected the most would be so generous.

He was willing to give up even such a treasure for the sake of his disciple's father.

This moment further strengthened Bai Junlin's determination to follow Ye Qiu. Following such a big brother, his future would be limitless.

Just this drop of water of life, its weight is so heavy that it cannot be repaid with a simple favor.

But how could Bai Junlin know that this water of life did not even rank high among Ye Qiu's many treasures.

If Ye Qiu is willing, he has a better way, which can instantly heal the Fire Emperor and instantly improve his strength and revive him with full health.
