Following the shouts of the elders, the gazes of the elves in the hall turned towards Huo Lie's table.
At this moment, almost all of the high-ranking elves in the hall were poisoned and collapsed on the ground. Only Huo Lie's group seemed to be unaffected by the poison.
"Huo Lie, did you drink the Spiritual Jade Wine?"
An elder from the royal elven family frowned and asked.
Huo Lie and the others were addicted to alcohol and had some fame in the elven race. However, their loyalty to the elven race was unquestionable. Therefore, the Elven King did not immediately order them to be arrested.
"Sir, we … drank a little bit."
Huo Lie and the others looked at each other and nervously said with fear and trepidation.
Only now did they begin to understand that there was a problem with the Spirit Jade Brew ….
"A little bit?"
Hearing these words, the elders who were still persevering had a trace of doubt on their faces.
Huo Lie and the others were addicted to alcohol and were not inferior to them. Facing the Spiritual Jade Wine, how could they resist?
In the entire banquet, who did not drink the problematic Spiritual Jade Wine?
Unless, they already knew that there was a problem with the Spiritual Jade Wine!
Looking at the entire hall, it seemed that only the people at Huo Lie's table were not poisoned! The others, whether it was the deacons, elders, royal elves, or even the Elven Queen, all of them drank the Spiritual Jade Wine that contained the Bloodthirsty Poison!
"Huo Lie, what is going on?"
The Elven Queen was sitting on her crystal throne. Her voice contained a hint of anger.
Those who came to participate in this banquet were the core higher-ups of the elven race. Now, other than Huo Lie's group, all of them were poisoned without exception!
Even if there were some royal elves and high-ranking elves who did not participate in this banquet and were lucky enough to escape this calamity, if the Bloodthirsty Poison was not cured, the loss of this group of elves would be a huge crisis for the elven race!
"Your Majesty … this … we also do not know what is going on!"
Under the Elven Queen's shout, Huo Lie and the other three elders knelt on the ground in fear. Their faces were ashen.
To the side, Qin Yichen hugged Little Ling 'er as his eyebrows tightly knitted together. He naturally knew that Huo Lie and the others were not the ones who had secretly poisoned them.
The reason why Huo Lie and the others did not drink the Spirit Jade Wine was because it was truly too difficult to swallow when compared to the Top Quality Immortal Intoxication.
Furthermore, even though Huo Lie and the others were the deacons of the High Elves, with their status, they were still unable to come into contact with the management of the Spirit Jade Brew!
The position of the one who had secretly poisoned them was definitely higher than Huo Lie's in the Elf Clan. However, the upper echelons of the Elf Clan had been wiped out in one fell swoop. Who exactly was it that had such an ability?!
Qin Yichen's intuition told him that the mastermind behind this was most likely related to the attack on Ariel in the Elf Forest.
It was even possible that because of the failure of Avril's matter, the great figure in the dark would do such a thing.
Looking at the appearance of Huo Lie and the others, the Elven Queen and the others tightly knitted their eyebrows.
Based on their understanding of Huo Lie, it was impossible for him to do such a thing. However, in the entire hall, only the four of them were not poisoned. It was hard for them not to be suspicious.
Seeing the suspicious gazes, Huo Lie and the others were burning with anxiety.
"Your Majesty …"
Suddenly, Huo Lie's face was filled with determination. He respectfully bowed to the Elven Queen sitting on the crystal throne. Following which, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he picked up the Spirit Jade Brew on the table and drank it down.
"Huo Lie!"
Seeing this scene, Old Man Guang and the others immediately shouted. However, it was already too late.
"Your Majesty … I, Huo Lie, have been busy all my life. This time, I even selfishly brought a junior from another clan to participate in the banquet."
Huo Lie drank a few mouthfuls of the Spirit Jade Brew in succession before putting down the wine jug. He sincerely said, "However, I, Huo Lie, will never betray the Elf Clan. It is even more impossible for me to do such a thing!"
After saying this, Huo Lie respectfully knelt on the ground and did not say anything else.
This scene caused the Elven Queen's expression to change. The Elves had always stood aloof from worldly affairs. They were not deeply involved in things like scheming.
Seeing this, Old Man Guang and the others clenched their teeth and also took the Spirit Jade Brew on the table.
In their opinion, this was the only way for them to prove themselves!
"Enough!"
In the next instant, they suddenly felt as if their bodies were imprisoned by an invisible force. At the same time, the Elven Queen's voice resounded.
"Your Majesty … It really wasn't us!"
After the imprisonment force disappeared, Old Man Guang and the others knelt on the ground again and said in a low voice.
Being suspected by their own clan was even more unbearable than death! They would rather be poisoned and have their Blood Essence devoured by the Bloodthirsty Poison than be a traitor to the Elf Clan!
"I understand."
However, contrary to Old Man Guang and the others' expectations, the Elven Queen did not suspect them anymore. Instead, she said indifferently.
"Your Majesty …"
Seeing this, the expressions of the Elven Elders and even the Royal Elves who were forcefully suppressing the poison in their bodies changed.
Although they were unwilling to believe that it was Huo Lie and the others who poisoned them, they were the most likely culprits!
Perhaps this was just a ruse to gain their sympathy.
"Say no more. Irene, quickly go to the Tree of Life."
The Elven Queen waved her arm and said coldly.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, a middle-aged female Elf at the banquet below the crystal throne nodded her head. She activated her Life Force to suppress the poison in her body and prepared to leave the hall.
"Haha, Your Majesty, in my opinion, there's no need to go to the Ancestral Tree!"
However, at this moment, the laughter of an old man resounded in the large hall.
Soon after, three figures slowly walked out from the passageway that only the royal family's elves had the qualifications to step into.
These three figures were all dressed in black robes. The most eye-catching thing about them was their brown hair, which was completely different from the High Elves!
When he saw the figure in the middle of the three, Qin Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly.
This was because this person's Life Force was different from the other Elves. A dense aura of death lingered around him, and it was not inferior to that of the Potentate of Heaven's Elysium!
Clearly, this person's life had come to an end.
"How dare you, Feleqing! Do you know where this is?!"
