Lan Ye took a closer look and saw that it was the giant black snake that had been suppressed before. The entire snake's head was divided into two halves.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a loud bird song came from the sky. In the blink of an eye, a huge black shadow appeared above everyone, almost covering the entire forest!

A burst of exclamations broke out from the crowd: "The patriarch is back!"

A flash of uneasiness flashed in Lan Ye's heart, and he was about to use the wings of Kunpeng to escape, but he didn't know that his body didn't obey the orders at all, and the movement of his spiritual power was blocked, making him unable to move.

This frightened Lan Ye half to death. He couldn't even move. Wouldn't that mean he would be at the mercy of others?

"Humph, do you want to escape?" came an indifferent voice.

Lan Ye's eyes were in a trance, but he found that an old man in green clothes appeared out of thin air in front of him. He had black hair reaching his waist, a tall figure, and a rather immortal air.

The old man in green was so fast that even Lan Ye couldn't see his movement clearly!

Feng Yin hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Tell the clan leader that this person has trespassed on the territory. The second elder and I were about to capture him."

The old man in green nodded slightly, stared at Lan Ye, and said in a cold voice: "You actually know the two techniques of water and fire, and it is the magical power of Xuanwu and Suzaku. Tell me about it."

Lan Ye broke out in a cold sweat. Although his body could not move, it did not affect his speech. However, facing the old man in green clothes in front of him, he could not speak.

"What, you don't want to say it?" The old man in green slowly blinked his eyes and said: "The Phoenix Clan has been guarding the Suzaku Forbidden Land for generations for more than a million years. Apart from the one emperor throughout the ages, you are the second person to step into this place. If so.

If you can’t give a reasonable reason, I’m afraid I’ll have to imprison you here!”

After that, he stretched out his index finger, and with a flicker of space, there was a golden rope on Lan Ye's body, which tied him tightly, leaving only his head exposed, like a rice dumpling!

"Chief, this kid can fly. You have to tie him up tightly to prevent him from escaping!" Feng Xiang said loudly from the side.

The old man in green turned his head and glared at Feng Xiang. Feng Xiang shrank his neck in fright and quickly shut up.

Lan Ye was uncomfortable being strangled by the golden rope, and his face turned red. Although he was scared, he was also a master who would take the soft and not the hard. The more he was forced, the more disgusted he became.

Seeing that he didn't reply, the old man in green's face darkened, and the rope around Lan Ye tightened again!

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I don't particularly want to know anyway!" The old man in green said calmly: "However, if you answer my questions obediently, maybe I will soften my heart and let you go. You yourself

Let’s think about it first! Elders Feng Yin and Feng Xiang!”

"Here!" Feng Yin and Feng Xiang responded at the same time.

"Take this boy to the dungeon. When does he want to say something, then bring him to see me!" said the old man in green.

Feng Yin, Feng Xiang responded "Yes!", and just as he was about to step forward, Lan Ye said urgently: "No, no, I said it's not okay? Don't take me to the dungeon!"

The old man in green raised his lips slightly and said, "Oh, you figured it out so quickly? Young people really know the current affairs. Tell me."

Lan Ye doesn't want to be imprisoned in the dungeon. Once he enters the dungeon, his future will become slim. It's better to follow the old man in green now, and maybe there will be a turn for the better!

"What do you want me to say?" Lan Ye finally said.

"No one can enter the forbidden land of divine beasts except gods. How did you get in?" said the old man in green.

Lan Ye said: "I have the Five Elements Divine Stone, which led me to the forbidden area!"

A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the old man in green, and he said: "Five Elements Divine Stone? Well, in that case, it makes sense that you can enter the forbidden area. Continue!"

Lan Ye continued: "Under the guidance of the divine stone, I found the place of Xuanwu inheritance, and it took me ten years to understand the inheritance."

The old man in green was stunned and said: "It took ten years to realize the Xuanwu inheritance? Are you still too slow? Do you know that except for the Eternal Emperor, none of you mortals can understand the inheritance of the mythical beast! Even the Eternal Emperor took two years to understand it.

It took ten years to understand the Xuanwu inheritance!"

Lan Ye was surprised. He thought that ten years would be too slow to comprehend inheritance, but who knew he was so perverted in the eyes of others!

"Well, this may be the result of the Five Elements Divine Stone." Lan Ye hesitated.

The old man in green nodded and said: "Well, apart from the help of the divine stone, I really can't find a reasonable explanation."

Lan Ye said: "After understanding the Xuanwu inheritance, I accidentally went to the far north sea and found a Kunpeng divine essence on the bottom of the sea, and then..."

"Kunpeng Divine Essence?" The old man in green asked in shock: "You mean that Kunpeng is dead?"

Lan Ye wanted to nod, but his body couldn't move at all.

"Kunpeng is the same as the Phoenix clan like us. We are the guardians of the Suzaku Forbidden Land, and he is the guardian of the Xuanwu Forbidden Land." The old man in green said sadly, "Who would have thought that after that battle, he would actually leave us first? Alas

!”

Lan Ye said: "Um, can you loosen the binding first? It will make it uncomfortable."

Hearing this, the old man in green clothes said indifferently: "Humph, what are you in a hurry for? I have my own idea of ​​whether to loosen or not!"

Lan Ye was angry and said: "I have answered your question truthfully, why don't you untie me? If you don't untie me, I won't answer the next questions!"

The old man in green sneered and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Lan Ye stared at him angrily, stubbornness written all over her face.

The old man in green didn't pay attention, and continued: "How did you get the inheritance from the Suzaku God, and how did you meet the princess?"

Lan Ye just stared, twisted his neck and remained silent.

The old man in green sneered and said, "You talk back, kid!" After saying that, the rope around Lan Ye tightened a little more.

Lan Ye was so painful that he broke out in cold sweat, and all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. But he still gritted his teeth and refused to bow his head!

The old man in green sneered again and again. He didn't believe that the young man in front of him could resist his Qingluan rope!

"stop!"

A cold shout broke the stalemate in the square.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a pretty figure speeding towards her.

In the blink of an eye, a pretty figure appeared less than ten feet behind the old man in green.

"Qingluan, let him go quickly!" the pretty figure yelled.

"Xiao Cai!" Lan Ye was overjoyed.

The person who came was none other than Xiao Cai. Her face was full of anger and her chest was heaving violently. She was obviously extremely angry!

The old man in green turned his head and saw Xiao Cai, and was stunned for a moment.

"Qingluan, didn't you hear what I said?" Xiaocai put her hands on her hips, like an angry little tiger.

Only then did the old man in green realize what he was doing. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, you are finally back! We have waited so hard for you!" As he said this, he actually started crying!

Xiaocai said impatiently: "Get up, you are still crying at your age, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"

Qingluan stood up tremblingly, wiped away his tears, and took back the Qingluan rope tied to Lan Ye.

Lan Ye was tied up for a long time, and his energy and blood were blocked. He lost his footing and fell heavily to the ground with a "plop".

"Lan Ye, are you okay?" Xiao Cai exclaimed, dodged and helped Lan Ye up, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"It's okay. I have thick skin and it doesn't hurt. It'll be good to see you okay, hehe!" Lan Ye said with a silly smile.

Xiao Cai nodded and said: "After I woke up in the volcano, I wanted to look for you, but I couldn't find you. I, I... wu wu..." As she said that, she started sobbing.

Lan Ye hurriedly comforted me: "Don't cry, don't cry, look, am I not doing well? If I cry any more, it won't be beautiful."

Xiao Cai just lowered her head and sobbed, which made Lan Ye panic and bewilderment. Qingluan and other tribesmen also looked at a loss: How could our once arrogant Divine Phoenix Princess be as weak as a little girl now?

?I think back then, he was a decisive and arrogant master!

After a while, Xiao Cai finally stopped crying, smiled tearfully at Lan Ye, and said, "They bullied you just now, and now I want to get it back for you!"

Lan Ye looked at her red and swollen eyes with tears, and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said, "I'm fine, really!"

Xiaocai ignored him, turned around, and immediately looked as cold as ice, glanced at everyone, and finally set her sights on Qingluan.

Qingluan was so stared at that his scalp went numb and he stood there without daring to move.

"Qingluan, do you know your guilt?" Xiao Cai shouted coldly.

"Subordinate, I am aware of my guilt!" Qingluan replied stammering.

"Do you know what crime you committed?" Xiao Cai asked.

Qingluan thought for a while and said: "Well, a year ago, the Phoenix Divine Pillar suddenly shone brightly. My subordinates knew that it must be you, the old man, who was back, so they immediately set out to search everywhere. But they still haven't found it yet. They are helpless.

, This subordinate deserves to die, please punish me!" After saying that, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed as hard as he could.

Xiaocai waved her hand and said: "This little thing is nothing. Think about it again!"

Qingluan froze on the spot and said in confusion: "This subordinate is stupid and really can't think of it. Please make it clear!"

Xiaocai snorted coldly and said, "Let me ask you, are all the Phoenix clan members here?"

Qingluan nodded and said: "Back to the princess, all the clan members are here, a total of one hundred and thirty-five people!"

"Only one hundred and thirty-five people? A hundred thousand years, a full hundred thousand years, when our tribe had more than tens of millions of people? Even if we experienced that war, our tribe would not all be killed!" Xiao Cai's eyes were filled with anger,

Said: "Now, you actually told me that there are still 135 people?"

Hearing this, Qingluan kowtowed again and said: "I know my crime, I know my crime! Since you disappeared, princess, I have led the tribesmen who escaped from death back here. I wanted to recuperate and grow stronger."

Our clan is just waiting for you, old man, to come back and lead our clan to regain its glory. However, just because our clan’s physique is too special, the princess is gone, the divine light of the Phoenix Divine Pillar is no longer there, and it is difficult for the clan to reproduce, so, so..."

Xiaocai said: "So, all this is my princess's fault?"

Qingluan's expression changed drastically, he knocked his head harder, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
