Chapter 367 The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.
Zi Tan'er's words echoed in the silent Liuyun Valley, like a gust of cold wind blowing by, but carrying with it deep sadness and helplessness.
Su Chenyin, Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er walked behind her, listening silently with complicated expressions on their faces.
They couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in their hearts, as if they could imagine Zi Ling'er's greedy and ugly face.
Su Chenyin couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"
Zi Tan'er was floating in front, her figure looked even more desolate, with anger bursting out of her eyes like burning flames.
She said slowly: "Later, Zi Ling'er started to have evil thoughts in order to obtain the Blood Soul Pendant."
"She wanted to take advantage of our Liuyun Valley's trust and love for her and tried to defraud the Blood Soul Pendant. But the Blood Soul Pendant is our Liuyun Valley's sacred object, so we will naturally not give it to her."
Zi Tan'er's voice became louder and louder, with a hint of anger that was difficult to conceal.
"Zi Ling'er saw that she failed to deceive the Blood Soul Pendant, so she sneaked into the Holy Cloud Temple where the Blood Soul Pendant was placed one night. However, just when she was about to succeed, she was discovered by my mother."
"Zi Ling'er panicked and quickly explained to my mother with her pitiful appearance that she was just curious to see what the Blood Soul Pendant looked like, and hoped that my mother would not misunderstand her."
When Zitan'er said this, her tone was filled with endless sadness and desolation.
She paused and continued her account of that night:
"Although my mother didn't quite believe it, she didn't investigate further due to Zi Ling'er's usual behavior and her soft heart. She just warned her not to come to the Holy Cloud Palace again."
"However, Zi Ling'er's ambition did not subside, but became even more inflated. She tried to sneak into the Holy Cloud Palace and steal the Blood Soul Pendant countless times."
"Fortunately, after she was discovered by my mother that night, she ordered people to strengthen the protection of the Holy Cloud Temple, so she ended up failing every time."
"But Zi Ling'er did not stop because of countless failures. Instead, she became more and more vicious and cruel."
"She began to secretly collude with some forces outside the valley and planned a conspiracy in an attempt to control Liuyun Valley, snatch the Blood Soul Pendant, and gain powerful power."
Zi Tan'er's voice became lower and lower, filled with endless grief and sorrow, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness.
"It's true that human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Su Chenyin sighed, feeling more sympathetic towards Zi Tan'er's experience.
"Yeah." Zi Tan'er echoed sadly.
She slowly continued to recount her painful past, gritting her teeth and saying:
"On a dark and windy night, Zi Ling'er took advantage of Ah Mu's absence from Liuyun Valley and led the foreign forces she had colluded with to sneak into Liuyun Valley quietly."
"At that time, we were completely unprepared, and many of our tribesmen were still asleep, and lost their lives in their sleep."
"We heard the noise and quickly woke up from our dream, but it was too late. Those people had already rushed into Liuyun Valley."
Zi Tan'er took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner excitement, but her voice still trembled a little:
"Although our tribesmen were shocked that Zi Ling'er, whom they had doted on so much, betrayed and attacked Liuyun Valley for her own greed and the Blood Soul Pendant, they all fought back and did their best to resist the invasion of foreign enemies."
"But those foreign invaders relied on Zi Ling'er's familiarity with the terrain of Liuyun Valley, their large numbers, and their powerful strength to cause our Liuyun Valley to suffer heavy losses and fall into a desperate situation."
Zi Tan Er was furious, her body trembling with anger, and she continued in a voice full of grief and anger:
"Countless people in our Liuyun Valley have sacrificed their lives to protect their homeland and the Blood Soul Pendant. They are brave and fearless, fighting desperately, but in the end they were no match for the enemy's fierce attack."
"My father and mother also fought hard in this tragic battle, but were eventually killed by those people..."
When Zitan'er said this, her voice choked, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was heartbroken.
Su Chenyin and others listened quietly, feeling an indescribable heaviness in their hearts.
Zi Tan Er sniffed, tears streaming down her face, her heart breaking as she said:
"That night, our Liuyun Valley was littered with corpses, blood flowed like a river, and wailing filled the valley. My parents and countless people from the clan died, and resentment accumulated as a result."
"And I and the other surviving tribesmen were already covered in wounds, and were finally imprisoned in a dungeon by Zi Ling'er and the others, unable to escape."
As Zi Tan'er finished speaking, the gloomy atmosphere around them became even heavier and sadder.
There was complete silence, as if even the wind had stopped, leaving only Zi Tan'er's words echoing in the air.
She bit her lip and closed her eyes in pain, trying to suppress the sadness surging in her heart.
After hearing this, Su Chenyin and the others couldn't help but feel sympathy for Zi Tan'er and the others in Liuyun Valley, and a surge of anger rose in their hearts.
At the same time, they were indignant at Zi Ling'er and her friends' greed and viciousness.
Su Chenyin broke the gloomy atmosphere and asked, "What happened in the end? Did Zi Ling'er get the Blood Soul Pendant?"
Zi Tan'er took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her body was still shaking slightly.
She slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of hatred flashed in them.
She turned around, glanced at Su Chenyin, and replied with a hoarse and desperate voice:
"In the end, our Liuyun Valley was defeated..."
"Everything in Liuyun Valley was taken by those greedy people, and Zi Ling'er also got the Blood Soul Pendant that she had coveted for a long time."
Tears glistened in Zitaner's eyes, a mixture of grief and anger.
"As soon as Zi Ling'er got the Blood Soul Pendant, she couldn't wait to contract it, but the Blood Soul Pendant is not an ordinary treasure. It has its own consciousness and will not easily recognize its master."
"People like Zi Ling'er who harbor evil intentions will never be recognized by the Blood Soul Pendant no matter what methods she tries, and those foreign forces that collude with her will also not be able to contract the Blood Soul Pendant."
Zi Tan'er sneered and shook her head in disdain.
They, Liuyun Valley, have been guarding the Blood Soul Pendant for tens of millions of years. After countless years, no one has been recognized by the Blood Soul Pendant and no one has been able to successfully contract it.
Ha~ With someone as greedy, evil-minded and ungrateful as Zi Ling'er, could she sign a Blood Soul Pendant contract? !
Oh~ this is simply wishful thinking!!
A hint of mockery flashed across Zi Tan'er's eyes, and her heart was full of contempt for Zi Ling'er.
She laughed coldly, turned around and continued to float forward, then continued:
"Since Zi Ling'er cannot contract the Blood Soul Pendant, she cannot obtain its powerful power. This makes her feel extremely angry and desperate, but she is unwilling to accept this cruel reality."
