Chapter 1697 He Killed Himself

One of the few survivors among the tribesmen who were massacred back then!

Yue Xinglan!

It was he who publicly accused her of leading outsiders there and causing the deaths of her people!

However, Yue Xinglan was still very young at the time, just a child, and she didn't recognize her at first.

However, she had already memorized Yue Xinglan's appearance. Even though more than a thousand years had passed and he had changed, she could still vaguely see the shadow of that time in his facial features.

"Hua Ling, you killed my only brother! I'm going to kill you!" To everyone's surprise, Yue Xinglan drew her longsword and fiercely stabbed at Hua Ling.

The two soldiers behind Hua Ling were completely unprepared for Yue Xinglan's stunt and didn't even bother to defend themselves.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late to stop them.

The Elf King was about to raise his hand.

But Hua Ling dodged it herself.

Hua Ling has cultivated for several decades longer than Yue Xinglan, and her talent can be considered among the best of the elves.

It's not surprising that she was able to evade Yue Xinglan's sneak attack.

"Ahhh!!" Yue Xinglan's first attack failed, so she charged up again.

He turned around and shouted loudly, then swung his sword down from above.

This sword strike was incredibly powerful!

It's true that Hua Ling was able to avoid it, but her dodge caused disaster for the main hall.

The Elf King had no choice but to intervene, temporarily suppressing Yue Xinglan: "That's enough."

"No fooling around in front of the palace!"

"Your Majesty!" Yue Xinglan's eyes were red with rage at failing to kill Hua Ling with her own hands: "Hua Ling is a traitor! She killed so many of her people and must be severely punished! She must be executed!"

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Wang is intentionally protecting Hua Ling.

"The truth back then was not like that," the Elf King said. "The Truth Pill has already been taken, so there is absolutely no possibility of deception."

Yue Xinglan gritted her teeth and said, "But that Truth Pill is fake!"

"Whether it's fake or not, you'll know once you eat it." The clone had been observing Yue Xinglan for a while and felt that this male elf exuded a strange aura from head to toe.

Moreover, when he mentioned the death of his only brother, there was not a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Fake! So obviously fake!

It all seemed like a show.

So, without saying a word, the clone flicked a True Word Pill into Yue Xinglan's mouth.

"Ugh!" Yue Xinglan argued loudly, completely bewildered.

When the foreign object entered his mouth, he swallowed instinctively, then his face filled with panic as he gagged several times in an attempt to vomit up the True Word Pill.

Unfortunately, the True Word Pill had already transformed into medicinal power and dispersed throughout his bloodstream.

"Who knows if what you're giving me might be some kind of deadly poison!"

"What were you doing when the foreign race invaded the Elven race more than a thousand years ago? Did you really see with your own eyes that it was the Flower Spirit who guided that foreign race?"

The question of having a clone is tricky and vexing.

As soon as the sound faded, the entire elven palace fell silent.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Yue Xinglan's mouth, awaiting his answer.

Yue Xinglan said uncontrollably, "At that time, I was very scared. I hid in the secret passage with my people. I did see Hua Ling with that outsider, but she did not give the outsider directions."

"What did you see?" an elf couldn't help but ask.

Yue Xinglan covered his mouth, not wanting to speak, but the next second, a magical and powerful force pried his hand away: "I saw that foreigner bullying Hua Ling."

So far, what Yue Xinglan said has matched what Hua Ling said!

"But didn't you say that the Flower Spirit was guiding the outsiders?" a female elf who used to have a good relationship with the Flower Spirit asked angrily.

Because of the traitorous label attached to Hua Ling, she had to stay away from Hua Ling.

But Hua Ling is her best friend!

For over a thousand years, she has endured immense inner turmoil!

"I lied to you! I was so scared that I had no choice but to make up this lie." Under the influence of the Truth-Telling Pill, Yue Xinglan confessed everything in one go.

“I suddenly had to pee, so my brother took me away from the secret passage and took a shortcut to relieve myself. Unexpectedly, we ran into that foreigner. My brother ran very fast and he pulled me along, but I was still small and had short legs, so I accidentally fell while running.”

"Then I was captured by that outsider. To save my life, I desperately begged my brother to come back and save me. He did come back, but he was killed by that outsider. Even so, that outsider still wouldn't let me go. I really didn't want to die. How old am I? I could only reveal the whereabouts of the rest of my tribe in exchange for a chance to live."

As Yue Xinglan spoke, the expression on her face changed from initial hesitation and struggle to excitement and frenzy.

The tribespeople looked at him with puzzled and incredulous eyes.

They watched Yue Xinglan grow up; she was always well-behaved and sensible.

I never imagined that someone could be so vicious!

The tragedy of that year was caused by him alone!

"Fortunately, when Hua Ling and that outsider resisted, she hit her head on a rock and passed out, so she didn't know what I had done."

Yue Xinglan glanced at Hua Ling with a sinister smile and continued, "I didn't expect that after I revealed the location of the secret passage, that outsider would actually keep his word and let me go. Later, he led Hua Ling to the secret passage and almost wiped out his clansmen who were hiding there."

"I thought I was going to die too. But luckily, help came at the critical moment. In order to shirk responsibility, I had no choice but to shift the blame onto Hua Ling."

"Blame it on your own bad luck! Out of so many clansmen, you were the one who got captured!" Yue Xinglan said the last sentence to Hua Ling, her attitude extremely hostile.

Hua Ling's chest heaved, and her eyes turned red with anger.

Over the years, she had considered the possibility that someone had deliberately framed her.

But to her utter surprise, the one who harmed her was such a young child!

Yue Xinglan was only a teenager more than a thousand years ago, right?

How could they be so vicious?

Indeed, if he can even manipulate his own brother, what is there that he wouldn't do to an outsider like her?

The elves were silent for a moment, then erupted in roars and cries.

"Why! Yue Xinglan, how can you be so heartless! Those are all your people!"

"To save your own life, you caused the deaths of so many of your people! Yue Xinglan, you deserve to go to the deepest levels of hell!"

"You're so selfish!"

"So many people died because of you, including your brother. Can you really sleep soundly at night when you wake up in the middle of the night?!"

"Heh." Yue Xinglan curled her lips into a cold, utterly desolate laugh.
