Chapter 555: Malevolent Qi
"This person is the Great Snow Mountain Holy Lord's second personal disciple. In those days, he had extraordinarily high natural gifts and a rather arrogant character, and was greatly valued by that Great Snow Mountain Holy Lord." Hua Yunfeng said.
"The Holy Lord's second disciple?" Chen Qing asked in a focused voice. "Then why would they be imprisoned here on Prison Peak?"
The identity of being the Holy Lord's own second personal disciple was no small thing. The Great Snow Mountain would absolutely not allow someone of that standing to be imprisoned in the Tianbao Upper Sect. There were certainly hidden circumstances behind this that were unknown to the world.
"This matter has a long history, and also involves the Yan Kingdom's court."
Hua Yunfeng's tone deepened somewhat. "This person once infiltrated the Yan Kingdom's territory in those days, relying on his cultivation to act without restraint, stirring up trouble and washing the Liang family of Liang Province in blood. He even participated in the blood massacres at three cities."
"The Yan Emperor was furious and issued a death decree. Joining forces with our Tianbao Upper Sect, the Purple Sun Upper Sect, and the Cloudwater Upper Sect's pinnacle high experts, they surrounded and cornered him at the White Sand Plains."
He paused, then said, "Because his identity was special, keeping him alive meant we could use him as a handle over the Great Snow Mountain, and we could also pry more secrets about the Night Clan from his mouth. So he was imprisoned within this Prison Peak."
"Previously, the Frost Silence Dharma King and the Profound Ice Dharma King joined forces with Qi Xunnan in a fierce assault on Prison Peak, and their target was to rescue him."
Hua Yunfeng continued. "According to the intelligence I have gathered, over all these years, the Great Snow Mountain internally has always been divided into two factions regarding Mo Yuan. One faction, mindful that he is the Holy Lord's personal disciple, advocated rescuing him at any cost."
