Sky Harmony City, Black Qilin Forbidden Grounds.
Dugu Xiu and the High Priestess arrived before the forbidden grounds.
The Black Qilin Forbidden Grounds was an ancient stone tomb.
In order to enter the tomb, one had to pass through nine stone doors. Each door had a special magic seal.
If one was careless, the mechanism would be activated.
The ancestral tablets of the Black Qilin Patriarchs were enshrined in the forbidden grounds. Ancient magic arrays were set up here. Dugu Xiu had only been here once under Hei Yao's lead when he returned to the Black Qilin Patriarch.
After Hei Yao learned of Hei Linlin's death, he was furious. He led an army of 100,000 Black Qilin Patriarchs to besiege Luochuan City.
Hei Yao had planned to bring Dugu Xiu with him and let him be the vanguard. However, Dugu Xiu said that Sky Harmony City was defenseless and needed someone to guard it.
Hei Yao thought that Dugu Xiu was unwilling to lay his hands on Yun Sheng. He scolded him, "Useless thing." Then, he left with his army.
After Hei Yao left, the High Priestess and Dugu Xiu entered the forbidden grounds.
Dugu Xiu didn't know why the High Priestess wanted to enter the forbidden grounds. However, what surprised him was that the High Priestess was able to deactivate the ancient magic arrays. Even Hei Yao had to spend a lot of effort to control them.
"This is the last door." The High Priestess stood in front of the stone door and looked at it.
After the High Priestess deactivated the last magic array, the stone door creaked and the heavy stone door slowly opened.
"Do you know what's behind the last stone door?" the High Priestess suddenly asked.
"The empty tomb of the Qilin King from ancient times." Dugu Xiu had heard of it from Hei Yao.
The Black Qilin Graveyard was an empty tomb to commemorate the Black Qilin King's relic that had died in the Boundless Continent. The real Black Qilin King's corpse was still in the Eight Desolates Continent.
"Hehe, is that so? So that's what the later generations said. "The High Priestess let out a strange laugh.
Dugu Xiu looked at the High Priestess suspiciously.
"You've been following us for so long. Come out." Just as the High Priestess and Dugu Xiu were about to enter the stone door, the High Priestess suddenly stopped.
Yu Shang and the Great Witch Doctor walked out.
Seeing the two of them, Dugu Xiu was very surprised.
"Who are you? Why did you barge into the Black Qilin King's forbidden grounds? " After meeting Ye Beiming at the Celestial Fox Palace, Yu Shang had done everything she could to find clues to prove that Ye Beiming was the reincarnation of the Black Qilin King Ye Xiu.
Finally, she remembered that there might be a clue in the Qilin's forbidden land.
"Hu Yushang, I didn't expect you to be so stupid after being reborn." The High Priest snorted.
Yu Shang's expression turned strange.
"It's you! Are you Ye Xiu's shadow? "
"Shadow? Hahaha, that's right. After so many years, I'm just a shadow in the eyes of the world. I don't have a name or an identity. I didn't think anyone would still remember me. "The High Priest laughed sinisterly and took off his priest robe.
Dugu Xiu, Yu Shang, and the Grand Magus Doctor exclaimed when they saw the High Priestess.
It was a person … Merely, his face was riddled with holes. His appearance had been destroyed by someone.
"As Ye Xiu's shadow, why are you still alive when he's dead?" Yu Shang looked at the High Priest in disbelief.
The so-called shadow was Ye Xiu's closest shadow guard. He'd been with Ye Xiu since birth and never left his side.
Under certain circumstances, the shadow would even act as Ye Xiu's substitute.
After Yu Shang's reminder, everyone realized that the High Priest's body shape and voice were similar to Ye Xiu's.
"If not for Hu Yan, the patriarch wouldn't have died!" The High Priest's hatred flared when he mentioned Hu Yan.
The relationship between the High Priest and Ye Xiu was very well hidden. Even Hu Yan and Hu Yushang had only found out about it last.
"There's a legend in the Black Qilin Tribe that if twins appear, it means bad luck. A qilin is the elder brother, and a qilin is the younger brother. Qilins are auspicious beasts, while qilins are beasts of calamity. The elder brother brings hope, while the younger brother brings disaster and disease. " The High Priest fell into deep thought. He also brought everyone present to a certain night thousands of years ago.
That night, the patriarch's wife gave birth to a pair of identical twins.
Due to the ancient teachings of the Qilin Tribe, the birth of twins would bring misfortune to the tribe.
In order to keep this a secret, the patriarch's wife killed the witch doctor who delivered the twins that night. Even the witch doctor's maid was killed on the spot.
The patriarch's wife originally wanted to kill the younger twin, but just as she was about to do so, the elder brother, Ye Xiu, started crying. The patriarch's wife was afraid that others would find out, so she could only destroy the younger twin's face and secretly abandon him outside the home of a couple who didn't know about it.
The patriarch's wife originally thought that the child would disappear forever just like that.
However, she neglected the fact that the child was the same as Ye Xiu. They both had the bloodline of the Black Qilin King.
Even though he was born into an ordinary, poor family, he gradually revealed his talent. However, unlike Ye Xiu, his talent in magic was superior.
However, due to his appearance, he lived a very humble life.
Perhaps it was fate, but when the two brothers were nine years old, Ye Xiu went out to hunt and coincidentally met his younger brother, who later became the Shadow. The two became very good friends.
Ye Xiu didn't mind his ugly appearance and kept his nameless brother by his side as his personal guard.
However, when Ye Xiu brought his nameless brother back to the Black Qilin Tribe, the patriarch's wife recognized at a glance that this so-called personal guard was the twin brother she had abandoned back then.
In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, the patriarch's wife captured him.
Only then did the High Priest know his identity.
The patriarch's wife also discovered the High Priest's talent in magic. At the same time, Ye Xiu wasn't willing to let this trusted aide who was like his own brother leave. Helpless, the patriarch's wife threatened him with the lives of his adoptive parents, forcing him to never tell Ye Xiu the truth.
Although the High Priest hated the patriarch's wife, he had deep feelings for his elder brother, Ye Xiu.
In the end, he promised the patriarch's wife that he would never betray Ye Xiu.
The High Priest had always followed Ye Xiu. The two of them grew from youths to heroic men. Seeing the unparalleled Ye Xiu gradually become the number one expert among the Bhakra Orcs, although the High Priest was occasionally envious, he was still happy for his elder brother from the bottom of his heart.
Together, the two of them conquered territory after territory for the prosperity of the Black Qilin Tribe.
"All of this changed because of Hu Yan's appearance. Ye Xiu betrayed the friendship between us brothers. For that woman, he even forgot the oath we made to unify the Qilin Tribe. "The High Priest, who was immersed in his memories, suddenly changed his expression and his eyes were filled with hatred.
