Chapter 501 Wei Qingyan Asks for Compensation
Xu Yao's pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu who suddenly appeared in front of him.
How did they find him so quickly?
Wei Qingyan's gaze swept across his face and landed on the sacred stone in his palm. "Is this the small piece of stone that our master left for your spirit race?"
Sure enough, Ming Sang, this loser, confessed everything.
Xu Yao hurriedly grasped the sacred stone tightly in his palm. "What do you want to do? I'm kindly warning you, don't overestimate your own abilities and go against the spirit race."
What do you mean Mingwei left it for them? This originally belonged to their spirit race and was stolen by Mingwei.
Xu Yao was furious, his eyes were fierce, and he cursed in his heart, "How shameless these lowly species are."
Wei Qingyan laughed, "If I don't go against you, will you let us two siblings go?"
After saying that, he moved and brought Shi Yu to Xu Yao. Xu Yao realized that Wei Qingyan wanted to take the Holy Stone, and rushed out with extremely fast reaction.
But he was not as fast as Wei Qingyan, and was attacked from both sides by Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu. He had no choice but to throw away the talisman and run away.
This drama of chasing each other was performed in the Imperial City of Wudan. Because it was at night and the three of them were moving very fast, they did not attract the attention of others.
In the end, he was blocked by Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu on the mountain road outside the city. "Although I am just an ordinary member of the Spirit Clan, the Spirit Clan's majesty will not allow you to provoke us.
If you go against me today, you are going against the entire spirit race. The clan leader and elders will only let you go, and even your country will be spared."
"So you Eldar are in the habit of calling on your elders when you can't win a fight."
A cold expression spread across Wei Qingyan's face. "If you're so cowardly, don't come out and harm others at will. You said the Holy Stone is yours, and I don't deny it.
But this holy stone was not stolen by my sister and me. I think you know the reason behind this.
But you are trying to take my brother's life and even interfere in the war between the two countries. I will never allow it."
After bringing the eldest prince back to the Spirit Tribe, the tribe would indeed not spare his life. Xu Yao understood that since Wei Qingyan said this, it meant that she had guessed how the Spirit Tribe would treat the eldest prince, but she did not deny it.
Since there was no point in denying it, he asked, "So what do you want?"
"You caused my brother to be injured, so you should compensate me."
Wei Qingyan looked at his hand and said, "Since 20% of the 30% of the Holy Stone has been lost, the remaining small piece of spiritual power cannot supply your spirit race.
Why not just compensate my brother? You spirits are just ordinary people after all. You’ve been so arrogant for so many years, now’s the time to live an ordinary life again.”
According to Ming Sang's account, the spirits relied on their spiritual powers to force the merpeople into slavery and servants, which was against the will of heaven. They were afraid of divine punishment, so they forced the merpeople to do it.
No wonder the Emperor and Empress of Pu State tried every means to marry Xing'er to Wei State. If they accidentally went into the sea in Pu State, they would be discovered by the spirits.
Xing'er and the others will be taken back to the spirit tribe and work like slaves for them.
Moreover, the brother and sister got the holy stone by chance. The spirits will certainly not let them go, and becoming enemies is inevitable.
In this case, the weaker the enemy, the better.
Therefore, no matter what, she was determined to get this stone today.
Then give it to Abu. Maybe with an extra holy stone, Abu will be much stronger, and their chances of winning against the elves will be greater.
She glanced at Shi Yu, and Shi Yu understood. The two of them moved together and attacked Xu Yao from the front and back at the same time.
In terms of magic, Xu Yao was no match for Wei Qingyan, and in terms of martial arts, he was no match for them either. In fact, Wei Qingyan only played the role of blockade and interception, and it was Shi Yu who really took action.
Not only could he not defeat Wei Qingyan, he couldn't even beat Shi Yu, who didn't know any magic. This made him very angry, and he had vicious thoughts in his mind.
With a thought, his external body appeared behind Shi Yu, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight into Shi Yu's heart.
Although Wei Qingyan promised Shi Yu that she would not take action until she was out of confinement, she had been paying close attention to the battle situation. She had not expected Xu Yao to be able to clone himself. Seeing that Shi Yu was in danger, she hurriedly reminded him, "Be careful."
At the same time, while Xu Yao's attention was on Shi Yu, the soft sword instantly wrapped around Xu Yao's neck.
Before Xu Yao could react, he pulled hard, blood gushed out, Xu Yao fell to the ground and died, and his clone also dissipated.
Ming Sang hoped that Xu Yao would die, but he didn't expect that Xu Yao would die so easily.
If Wei Qingyan hadn't been holding the holy stone in his hand, he would have suspected that Wei Qingyan was lying to him.
But Xu Yao was considered outstanding among the younger generation in the clan, so how could he be killed just like that?
Ming Sang suddenly wondered if the elders had been in seclusion for too long and were unaware of the changes in the outside world, which was why they felt that the spirits were still superior to ordinary people and were existences that they both admired and feared.
It was his first time on this continent and he didn't meet many people, but at least in the Crown Prince and Wei Qingyan, he didn't see any fear of the spirit race.
"Why did Mingwei steal the holy stone back then?" Wei Qingyan asked.
Wei Qingyan was just worried about Abu's injury and Xu Yao, and didn't have time to ask more questions. Now Xu Yao is dead, and his guards were caught by Shi Yu outside the military camp. She has no worries for the time being, so she can understand what happened that year.
Ming Sang hesitated.
Wei Qingyan sneered, "I didn't kill you like I killed Xu Yao, so you have to show the meaning of your life. Otherwise, I don't mind sending you to accompany Xu Yao."
Ming Sang saw the murderous intent in her eyes, which was definitely not a threat, and hurriedly said, "Because of Ming Wei's mother."
"Go on."
"I also heard it when I was a child, it may not be true."
Ming Sang was desperate to survive and said truthfully, "There are only two surnames in Penglai Island.
One is Ming and the other is Xu. The Xu family was brought to the Ming family for the purpose of marriage for their offspring.
The purpose was to allow the Xu family and the Ming family to intermarry, but for hundreds of years, the bloodlines of the two families had already been mixed as if they were one family.
The children born after that were either sick and short-lived, or mentally retarded, and there were even many freaks. Normal children were very rare.
Without a good bloodline inheritance, the family will face extinction, but the Ming and Xu families have lived freely on Penglai Fairy Island for many years and can no longer tolerate anyone else entering the island."
Mingsang paused, "The elders of the tribe came up with a plan. They had the mermaids select outstanding young men and women from the ships sailing on the sea, abduct them to the island, and marry them with the elves to give birth to healthy children.
But people outside the island have no spiritual power and their bloodlines are not orthodox, so they need to have their blood transfused and purified, and this process requires the power of the holy stone.
Otherwise, the children they give birth to will still not be able to learn magic.
But only the clan leader and elders knew how it was done specifically. I didn't know that Mingwei's mother was the woman captured from outside the island.
After these captured people complete their mission of raising offspring, they will be dealt with promptly.
Hearing that Mingwei's mother was outstanding in appearance and extremely intelligent, Mingwei's father fell in love with her and secretly raised her in the dungeon.
But Mingwei's father was not the only one who fell in love with people outside the island. The others followed the tribe rules and dealt with the other half of their children.
Mingwei's father took advantage of his status as the clan leader's son to show favoritism, which naturally caused some people to be dissatisfied and make a fuss about it.
To show justice, the clan leader burned Mingwei's mother to death in public. Mingwei was only four or five years old at that time. The clan members thought she was ignorant, and Mingwei never showed any hatred.
It wasn't until she was designated as the spirit girl, in charge of the sacred stone, that she stole the sacred stone. Only then did the tribe realize that she had always known that the person who was burned to death was her mother.
