(PS: There's a mistake that needs to be corrected. The main character, Xiao Fan, requested to borrow the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams for one day because I suddenly realized that I wrote one day at the beginning of the Dark Domain Scroll, but the first few chapters changed it to seven days. Now, it's changed to one day. Sorry, sorry.)
"It's not impossible for all of you to make me admit my guilt!" Ying Qing suddenly laughed and spoke as she looked at the Shadow Clan's Grand Elder, Ying Ruhui, Second Elder, Ying Feng, Third Elder, and the other higher-ups of the Shadow Clan.
"Hmm?" Ying Qing's sudden change instantly stunned all the higher-ups of the Shadow Clan. Every single one of them was slightly unable to react, and their expressions were filled with surprise.
Because Ying Qing had just opposed them with equal harshness and hadn't taken a step back in the slightest. Now, her attitude had changed 180 degrees, and she was suddenly willing to take a step back. This huge contrast was truly shocking.
However!
"But I have a condition!" Ying Qing spoke once more, and then she chuckled.
"Speak!" Grand Elder Ying Ruhui stared fixedly at Ying Qing. His gaze was like a torch, and his aura was oppressive. After staring at Ying Qing for a few breaths of time, he spoke slowly.
"I want to borrow the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams!" Ying Qing spoke directly, and there was an indescribable light flickering in the depths of her eyes. "And as long as you're willing to lend me the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams for a day, I'll be at your disposal!"
"You want to borrow the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams? And lend it for an entire day? " Ying Qing's words instantly caused the expressions of all the higher-ups of the Shadow Clan to change, and then someone immediately cried out involuntarily.
"That's right!" Ying Qing spoke slowly.
"No!" Second Elder Ying Feng spoke immediately, and he spoke resolutely and decisively. "The Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams are the ultimate treasure of my Shadow Clan. You have no right to borrow it, and you have no right to borrow it for an entire day!"
"That's right!" Ying Hui spoke as well, and her voice was cold. "How important is the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams? Lend it to someone else? That's utterly impossible! "
"The Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams are of great importance. How can our Shadow Clan lend it out?"
"Is Ying Qing joking? Lend the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams? And he wants to lend it for an entire day? He's simply dreaming! "
"If it were up to me, we should just capture Yingqing. There's no need to bargain with him here!"
....
Around the hall, many other members of the Shadow Clan also began to discuss. The originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy.
After a short while, the hall finally quieted down again!
"Ying Qing, I can't agree to your request!" Great Elder Ying Ruhui sat there and shook his head. His voice was indifferent.
Following Great Elder Ying Ruhui's words, the gazes of everyone in the hall focused on Ying Qing once again.
"Great Elder, if I remember correctly, the rules of my Shadow Clan clearly state that as a special Shadow Clan member who possesses the Blue Fire Blood, I enjoy many special rights!" Faced with Great Elder Ying Ruhui's rejection and the sneers of all the Shadow Clan members in the surroundings, Ying Qing's face didn't show the slightest bit of dejection. Instead, her voice was abnormally forceful as she said, "And one of the special rights is that I have the right to use and lend the Spirit-Suppressing Nine Diagrams!"
"And now, I want to borrow the Nine Spirit-Suppressing Diagrams, but the Great Elder and the others want to stop me. Could it be that the Great Elder wants to violate the clan rules in front of the many deceased ancestors of the Shadow Clan and the statues of the ancestors of the Shadow Clan in the Central Plains?"
"You …!"
As soon as Ying Qing spoke, the expressions of all the members of the Shadow Clan instantly changed. Even Great Elder Ying Ruhui's expression changed, and his breathing suddenly became sluggish!
Because Ying Qing's accusation was truly too great, and no one could bear it. Unless the Shadow Clan of the lower prefecture truly intended to become independent and completely break off relations with the Central Plains' Shadow Clan, then the Shadow Clan would naturally no longer have to abide by the clan rules. Otherwise, Ying Qing's words had basically blocked off all possibilities of retreat!
The air in the hall froze, and not a single sound was emitted. Even a pin drop could be heard.
Great Elder Ying Ruhui, Second Elder Ying Feng, Third Elder Ying Hui, and all the other higher-ups of the Shadow Clan had unsightly expressions. They were incomparably livid and were speechless.
But right at this moment!
"Great Elder, I heard that a few years ago, something happened to our Shadow Clan's ultimate treasure, the Spirit-Suppressing Nine Diagrams, and it's unsuitable to lend it out? May I know if this is true? "A voice suddenly broke the deathly silence in the hall, and then it spoke with a chuckle.
Ying Qing instantly looked over when he heard the voice, but his pupils instantly constricted when he saw the source of the voice.
It was an extremely handsome young man. He possessed eyebrows that reached his temples, a tall and straight nose, eyes that were dazzling like stars, and a smile that was gentle like the spring breeze surged onto his almost perfect face. He seemed like the legendary Prince Charming that could make a myriad of women fall for him.
The current Great Young Master of the Shadow Clan, Ying Long!
At the same time, Ying Long was once Ying Qing's greatest opponent in the Shadow Clan, and he was only slightly inferior to Ying Qing in all aspects!
Now that they hadn't seen each other for 10 years, Ying Long was already ranked at the top of the younger generation in the Dark Territory, and he'd long since surpassed Ying Qing.
But now, Ying Long's words seemed to be a question, but in reality, he had given Ying Qing the most powerful counterattack. Instantly, Great Elder Ying Ruhui, Second Elder Ying Feng, Third Elder Ying Hui, and the rest of the Shadow Clan's upper echelons had perfectly extricated themselves from Ying Qing's words.
Great Elder Ying Ruhui instantly glanced at Ying Long with praise and replied, "Of course it's true. Something really did happen to my Shadow Clan's Spirit-Suppressing Nine Diagrams!"
Ying Long didn't say anything else, and only a faint smile hung on his face as he stood there once more. He was at the center of the crowd, and he didn't say anything else.
"Ying Qing, we've always respected the numerous deceased ancestors of my Shadow Clan and the ancestral statues of the Central Prefecture's Shadow Clan. As for the clan rules, we naturally don't dare to violate them!" Great Elder Ying Ruhui looked at Ying Qing once more, and then he said indifferently, "But it's a pity that something happened to the Spirit-Suppressing Nine Diagrams, so please forgive me for having to abide by the clan rules and being unable to lend them to you!"
Ying Qing didn't say anything else, and he only glanced deeply at Ying Long, and then he slowly withdrew his gaze. After that, he became completely silent.
Even though he had the authority to use and lend the Spirit-Suppressing Nine Diagrams, authority was authority, and when it came to actually carrying it out, it still depended on one's strength. Ying Qing was helpless when faced with this perfect excuse of a problem with the Spirit-Suppressing Nine Diagrams.
Actually, Ying Qing had pondered over today's matter repeatedly in his heart for a long time, and that was why he had counterattacked several times. He'd used words to force the higher-ups of the Shadow Clan to repeatedly retreat, and there were several times when they were left speechless.
But he was still alone in the end, and the other party was the entire Shadow Clan. When faced with the combined forces of the other party, he was still defeated in the end, and his rear was already close to a dead end.
He'd already done his best!
But the situation was too strong for him, and he had no other choice!
After a short moment!
"Grand Elder, lending the Spirit-Suppressing Nine Diagrams is my condition, and if you're willing to agree to this condition, I'm willing to bind my hands right now and head to the Dark Death Prison, and you can do whatever you want with me!" Ying Qing spoke slowly, "At the same time, I'm also willing to strip the Blue Fire Blood from my body and give it to you!"
"If you don't agree, then we'll fight to the death. I won't be able to obtain what I want, and you won't be able to obtain what you want!"
"Strip the Blue Fire Blood and give it to us?" Ying Qing's words immediately caused Great Elder Ying Ruhui to be taken aback. Subsequently, a bright light erupted from his turbid eyes.
Earlier, it was said that the Shadow Clan members who possessed the Blue Fire Blood had a special status in the Shadow Clan, and they were core clansmen!
But there was actually a secret about the Blue Fire Blood that was unknown to others, and that was that the Blue Fire Blood could be stripped and then inherited by others.
The inherited Blue Fire Blood could also be recognized by the Central Continent's Shadow Clan, and it was no different from the original Shadow Clan members who possessed the Blue Fire Blood.
However, the Blue Fire Blood could only be given by the original owner, and forcefully stripping it was useless. So now, when Ying Qing raised this condition, Grand Elder Ying Ruhui was instantly moved!
As long as he could obtain Ying Qing's Blue Fire Blood, he would become a new core member of the Shadow Clan, and when the Central Continent's Shadow Clan descended in the future, he could head to the Central Continent's Shadow Clan, and then head to a wider world to attack a higher realm. Why would he have to spend his life in this small place?
"Give the Blue Fire Blood!"
The secret that the Blue Fire Blood could be inherited was spread among the Shadow Clan's upper echelons, and there were many people who knew about it. So when they heard Ying Qing raise this condition at this moment, a wisp of excitement flashed through the eyes of Second Elder Ying Feng, Third Elder Ying Hui, and some other Shadow Clan's upper echelons, and they couldn't help but have the same thoughts as Grand Elder Ying Ruhui.
However, at the same time that Third Elder Ying Hui was excited, a wisp of gloominess and anger also flashed through her eyes. This was because in her original plan, Ying Qing's Blue Fire Blood should be given to Ying Que.
She planned to find an opportunity to quietly capture Ying Qing, then use torture to force Ying Qing to agree to give the Blue Fire Blood to Ying Que. She was also the most enthusiastic about Ying Qing's trial this time, because as long as Ying Qing could be locked in the Dark Death Prison, then she could truly make her move.
However, the development of the situation was completely out of her control. Now that Ying Qing had taken out this as the price, she was caught off guard, and this would inevitably cause many people in the Shadow Clan to fight over it. If she wanted to obtain Ying Qing's Blue Fire Blood, there would definitely be many troubles, so she was truly furious at this moment.
"Okay, deal!"
Grand Elder Ying Ruhui was an ambitious and ruthless character, and when Ying Qing took out a price that was enough to move his heart, he immediately opened his mouth and made his decision without hesitation.
"Grand Elder, the Nine Spirit-Suppressing Diagrams is of great importance, so how can you just lend it to Ying Qing like this? What if he doesn't return it? What if he hides it? "A Shadow Clan elder's expression changed, and he immediately opened his mouth to stop Ying Ruhui.
"You don't have to worry about any of this!" Grand Elder Ying Ruhui raised his hand, and then he said indifferently, "Because the Nine Spirit-Suppressing Diagrams have a special imprint of our clan. Even if Ying Qing really plans to hide it, we only have to activate the imprint on it from a distance, and the Nine Spirit-Suppressing Diagrams will be able to break through any seal, and then it will automatically return to our clan!
"Moreover, the Nine Spirit-Suppressing Diagrams have their own special activation technique. Without the activation technique, the Nine Spirit-Suppressing Diagrams are simply useless treasures, and they won't be able to display the slightest bit of their might!
"So what if we lend it to Ying Qing?"
