"Who is seriously injured? Did anyone die in Zixiao Sect?" Gao Han interrupted him.
Huo Dan could hear a hint of anxiety in his words. Although he was curious, he did not ask more questions. He just said, "He is not dead. It is said that two people were seriously injured in exchange for the lives of two great monarch-level demons. The demons were so angry that they died."
Gao Han frowned and asked, "Do you know which two Mahayana monks were seriously injured?"
"I only know that one of them seems to be Master Zixiao, but I'm not sure about the other one."
Gao Han was extremely surprised. With Master Zixiao's strength, how could he be seriously injured? Unless he did it on purpose, he noticed that Huo Dan just said that the price would be two serious injuries, which was most likely related to this.
If his inference was correct, they should have used Master Zixiao as bait to carry out such a plan.
"Two great monarch-level demons died over there. They shouldn't let it go, right?"
"Well, after the demons rested for a while, they started a war again, and it has been going on like this for the past two years."
Gao Han thought for a moment and asked again, "Do you know what the current situation of the demon battlefield is?"
Huo Dan nodded: "I know a little bit, the demon battlefield is more dangerous than before, they won't easily let the human race go far to train, in order to prevent being attacked by demons, but some geniuses will still go out to train."
Gao Han: "Then how did the demons appear in the Tata Mountains? How could they get out of the demon battlefield?"
"I don't know how the demon appeared. I only know that during that period, my father often took the tribe's strong men out. Sometimes he didn't come back for a month. When I received news from him later, it was that he had died." Huo Dan looked lonely.
At this point, Huo Dan gritted his teeth and said, "They all said that my father was killed by a demon, but my father was so powerful that even if he was possessed by a demon, he couldn't have died so easily."
Gao Han had not thought of this connection. "Do you suspect that your father was killed by people from other tribes?"
Huo Dan: "But I have no evidence. The other tribes all have the same opinion on this matter."
Gao Han hummed, "But they tried to divide your tribe before."
At this moment, Fugui's voice sounded in his mind.
"Second father, ask him if he knows anything about them in this important place."
Gao Han gave him a calming look before asking Huo Dan, "Do you know that the sudden fighting in Tongshizhou two years ago was caused by the appearance of the forbidden area of the gold-devouring beast?"
Huo Dan nodded: "I know a little bit, but I also heard from my father that the incident seemed to be a conspiracy designed by the demons to lure Master Zixiao into the trap."
"Do you know the news about those gold-eating beasts?"
Huo Dan shook his head, "That's not clear."
Fugui was a little disappointed and buried his head back in Gao Han's arms.
They continued to rush towards the Fire Vein Tribe until they saw the tribe, but they did not see the elders who came to rescue them.
Huo Dan hurriedly asked the people in the tribe if they had seen the elders come back, but they all said that they had not seen anyone come back. They immediately sent a team out to look for them, and eventually found their bodies in another direction of the forest.
Several elders were killed. The one who killed them was Elder Shui of the Shuimai Tribe. He had been hiding in the dark. Later, when he saw them going back to get help, he chased them and killed them, then turned back.
If Gao Han had not descended from the sky, Huo Dan would never have waited for reinforcements from the Huomai Tribe until his death.
After knowing the truth, the Fire Vein Tribe was filled with grief and decided to fight to the death with the Water Vein Tribe and the Earth Vein Tribe.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir." An elderly man came up to Gao Han.
On the way, Gao Han had heard Huo Dan mention that this elder should be Huo Hongyang, the only cultivator in the Fusion Stage in the Huomai Tribe.
After knowing Huo Dan's decision, Huo Hongyang had no way to leave the tribe, even though he knew it might be a trap set by the Tumai tribe, because he had to stay and guard the base camp.
Gao Han: "No, I can understand their feelings."
Huo Hongyang was filled with emotion, "You have saved our leader and other companions. I am so grateful for your kindness. Please accept my greetings first."
Gao Han gently supported him and said, "Elder Huo, can you tell me about the demons that appeared here? You should know more than Huo Dan, right?"
Huo Hongyang was not surprised. He had heard Huo Dan say that this person was quite interested in the Demon Battlefield, so he invited him, "Sure, please follow me, we'll talk inside."
Gao Han nodded and followed him into the house.
At the same time, the news of the failure of the plan also reached the ears of the Earth Vein Tribe and the Water Vein Tribe.
The Earth Vein Lord smashed the cup in his hand on the spot, "A strong man fell from the sky, saved Huo Dan, and killed Elder Shui Ji of the Water Vein Tribe? Where is the Tata Mountains? How could a strong man fall from the sky!"
Such a good game of chess was ruined just like that!
"Master, that person did fall from the sky, and he is extremely powerful. I don't know why he would help the Fire Vein Tribe."
The Lord of the Earth Vein was like an angry lion. He had tricked the Fire Vein Tribe this time, and they would definitely fight him to the death. He was not afraid of what the Fire Vein Tribe could do to him. The worst that could happen was that they would just fall out with him. He was angry because he could have taken down the Fire Vein Tribe and expanded the Earth Vein Tribe in the easiest way and at the lowest cost, but it was destroyed because of one person.
"Check it out! I want to know the origin of that person!" The Earth Vein Lord had a grim expression. He wanted to see where this person came from and why he dared to interfere in the affairs of their tribe.
As for the people in the Shuimai tribe, the word "angry" cannot describe their current mood.
Elder Shui Ji is very powerful, and he is one of the few elders in the tribe who have reached the fusion stage. He was sent out originally to ensure that nothing could go wrong. However, Huo Dan did not die, but everyone including Elder Shui Ji died. They did not gain any benefit and suffered heavy losses.
"Huo Dan is now on guard and will definitely not leave the Huo Vein Tribe easily. It is unlikely that he will find another opportunity to attack. Let's put this matter aside for now." The Water Vein Master said grimly, "Go and find the person who killed Elder Shui Ji. This tribe master will never let him go!"
"Thank you, Master!" The direct descendants of Elder Shui Ji were extremely grateful. It was a rare occasion for their clan to have an elder in the fusion stage as a backer. With his death, how could their clan hold their heads up in front of others in the future?
Huo Hongyang had once been to that place with the former Fire Vein Master and saw a crack.
This crack is actually a narrow passage connecting the Demon Battlefield and the Lingtian Continent. However, by the time they discovered it, no one knew how long this passage had existed.
Later, the former Fire Vein Master proposed to suppress this passage to prevent the demons from entering and leaving the demon battlefield without restraint.
The former Fire Vein Lord was the strongest among the Five Vein Tribes, and the other tribes readily agreed. However, what they never expected was that the other four tribes had already conspired together, and their target was actually the former Fire Vein Lord.
During the demon suppression campaign, a monarch-level demon appeared on the demon side. He was extremely powerful. The former Fire Vein Master was ambushed by other tribes and died there.
The current young master has never known the truth, and Huo Hongyang did not tell him because he was worried that the young master would be so angry after knowing the truth, so he could only let the young master guess it himself.
"There are several strange doubts here. Why did the four tribes target the Fire Vein Master? According to your current tribe master, he should be a very generous person. Except for the fact that he and the Water Vein Tribe are incompatible, he has a good relationship with the other three tribes. Why did it come to this? Didn't the former Fire Vein Master have any defense at all?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Huo Hongyang curiously.
"Your Excellency is indeed very wise. Apart from the Water Vein Tribe, the Fire Vein Tribe has a good relationship with the Earth Vein, Wood Vein, and Gold Vein Tribes. Our former tribe leader did not expect that they would unite and launch a surprise attack on him, which is why he fell into trouble." Huo Hongyang lamented.
"I remember you said that the demons appeared a year ago, but you didn't know the exact time when the demon channel appeared. By the time you discovered it, the demons might have entered the Tata Mountains. No one found them, so no one knows what they did during this period, right?"
Huo Hongyang's body trembled slightly, and his expression changed constantly, "You suspect that someone in those three tribes was possessed by a demon..."
Gao Han smiled and said, "Why, haven't you ever doubted it?"
Huo Hongyang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No, this is related to a legend in our Five Veins Tribe, so I never doubted it."
Gao Han: "Legend? Can you tell me?"
Huo Hongyang: "Yes, it's not a secret. In our Five Veins Tribe, each tribe holds a Five Elements Bead. For example, the Fire Vein Tribe holds the Fire Element Bead, the Earth Vein Tribe holds the Earth Element Bead, and so on. Legend has it that as long as you collect all the Five Elements Beads, you can summon the treasures left by the Five Elements Immortals, and have a chance to break through the realm."
Gao Han raised his eyebrows: "For the sake of the treasure and the breakthrough, do we have to kill each other?"
Huo Hongyang: "This is one of the reasons. It may also be for their own sake. The current leaders of the veins are all strong, but in fact they are all veterans who have lived for thousands of years. Some of them are almost at the end of their lives, so they are eager to find treasures, break through realms and prolong their lives."
No one wants to die, especially people with higher status. After having tasted the delicacies of the world, who would be willing to die?
"Could that treasure be something that can help people improve their cultivation?"
"In fact, we don't know exactly what the treasure is, but there is a legend about the Tata Mountains. According to legend, there were no mountains here, only an endless plain. Then one day, a piece of land fell from the sky, and then the Tata Mountains appeared."
"The Tata Mountains are extremely high, and there is always smoke and fog on them. It is also a bit strange. Someone once tried to fly over them, but halfway through the flight, they found that their spiritual energy was consumed very quickly. There is something strange about that mountain range, and it seems to absorb spiritual energy. Over time, no one dared to approach it. We get information about the outside world through the Demon Battlefield."
"A large piece of earth fell from the sky?" Gao Han always felt that he had missed something.
