"Naturally, I want to ask the high priest if he can undo the curse on those villagers?" Yu Ling said bluntly.

"What if I can't?" the High Priest said with a faint smile.

Yu Ling was silent for a while, and when he was about to speak, the high priest shook the tea in the cup again, and asked faintly: "I'm curious, I don't think you look like the kind of good old man who sacrifices himself for others, why are you so obsessed with the curse?"

"The High Priest doesn't know that the outside world is holding a Great Competition of the Nine Domains, and the task I received is to unlock the curse of the Sinking Night Peak. Yuling said lightly.

The high priest seemed to have heard some funny joke, covered his lips and laughed tremblingly, and it took a long time to calm down, and said half-mockingly and half-mockingly: "When did the kings of a clan also fall into such a situation? What if you don't participate in the so-called Nine Domains Great Competition? Are you also like those laymen, who want to fight for some false fame?"

"It doesn't matter how high or low the ranking is, but being manipulated in the dark and forcibly eliminated is unacceptable. Yu Ling was not annoyed at all.

"That's right, such a tricky task, at first glance, you have offended some big people, right? If it were me, I would not be willing to suffer a big loss. "The High Priest said lightly.

"So the High Priest would like to help me?"

"Then I'll be straightforward, of course it's impossible to help you for nothing, but if you can show enough value to make up for the loss of us unraveling the curse, this matter may not be impossible to talk about. ”

The high priest held his pointed chin with his other hand, and suddenly changed his words and said, "Do you know why my Black Cloud Clan is casting a curse on those people?"

"Something to do with Fan Yaqi?" Yu Ling said tentatively.

"Oh, it seems you know a little bit of the inside story, so I won't be too roundabout. A layer of cold frost gradually appeared on the high priest's face, and he said lightly: "Fan Yaqi is wrong, he shouldn't fight the idea of the night dream spirit. ”

What is it?

A person, a thing, or something else?

Fortunately, the high priest's next sentence revealed the answer: "The god-level spiritual weapon is certainly moving, but if you don't have a life to enjoy happiness, then it's better to put away your greed, don't you say?"

The high priest gently put the teacup aside, and said coldly: "Long before we migrated from the Divine Realm to the Sinking Night Mountain, this land gave birth to the Night Dream Spirit, she should be the first few god-level spirit weapons to appear in this world, we asked her to become the guardian spirit of our clan, but she was eager for freedom and refused us without hesitation." ”

"In your human terms, it's really a toast and a penalty. Since she is so eager to be free, we are going to imprison her here, and we will never escape from her. ”

Yu Ling couldn't help frowning, feeling that the Night Dream Spirit was really unlucky, and she met the Black Cloud Clan who didn't reason with her.

"Heaven and earth spiritual things are only inhabited by the strong, this is the most basic operating law of this world, and it is the same principle as the survival of the fittest, in other words, you have the ability to occupy a god-level spiritual weapon, you will let it slip away from your eyes plainly, and let it chase ridiculous freedom?" The high priest glanced at him lightly.

Yu Ling couldn't help but ponder for a few seconds, if it was before he met the mirror demon, he was afraid that he would have the same idea as the high priest, after all, the god-level spirit weapon was born by adhering to the creation of heaven and earth, and it was only when he took it to fight and kill that it could be regarded as making the best use of things.

But the story of Bian Changzhen and the mirror demon made him see a different world.

If we start from the perspective of the god-level spirit artifacts themselves, how disgusted are they to be enslaved and manipulated by others? But all intelligent beings with intelligence will instinctively yearn for freedom and desire to do what they like without constraints.

Even the spirit weapon is the same.

Once they have a mind and wisdom, they are no longer just a cold, dead thing that is ignorant and unconscious.

So Yu Ling replied lightly: "If it were me, I would respect their own choice." ”

The high priest looked at him with a ridiculous expression, as if he were looking at a madman.

"They are also a whole life and should be respected by other beings. Yu Ling said calmly.

The high priest said incredulously, "It's incredible, you can say such a naïve and ridiculous thing, you must have a lot of people's blood on your hands, right?

"Respect and killing or not killing are two different things, and the high priest may never understand it. If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone sins against me, I will get rid of him. But there is no one who is the so-called bad person from the beginning to the end, but they have different interests from each other, so their positions are different. I respect my enemies, even if I kill them. There is a difference between giving people a pleasure and trampling on his dignity in front of others. ”

The high priest shook his head and did not answer.

Yu Ling said again: "Or to put it another way, we killed a strange beast to eat meat, this is the so-called weak and strong, it is the most instinctive need of living beings, and there is no need for any moral condemnation." But if you take that beast, imprison it, whip it, torture it, train it to be a tool for human pleasure, and let it live in endless pain and suffering, there is a fundamental difference between killing it directly. ”

"Are you sarcastic about what we do to Nightdreamers?" the High Priest narrowed his eyes.

Yu Ling looked at her calmly, without the slightest flinch.

A deep shadow rose over the high priest's face, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment, revealing a suffocating oppression.

The spiritual oppression of soul masters is often more severe than that of cultivators and martial artists, and the soul power of the middle stage of Yuling's transformation is not the opponent of the high priest at all, and it is completely suppressed in the soul sea and cannot move.

Just when Yuling thought she was going to turn her face and make a move, the high priest suddenly calmed down, and all the pressure dissipated, as if nothing had happened just now.

"What an interesting human, I seem to understand a little bit of why you became the king of the Soul Brakes. There was no emotion in the high priest's deep eyes.

"I've been somewhat persuaded by you, but it's not up to me to let her go. The High Priest said lightly.

Yu Ling couldn't help but be stunned, he subconsciously thought that the high priest was the supreme leader of the Black Cloud Clan, but after thinking about it carefully, the Black Cloud Clan should still have a king, right?

"Alright, let's get back to business. The High Priest paused for a few seconds before continuing, "If Fan Yaqi only wants to steal the Night Dream Spirit, we will kill him at most, so as not to cast a Red Nightmare Curse on his entire clan. But he was too treacherous and cunning, first showing all kinds of goodwill to our clan, paralyzing the clansmen at that time, and then taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, forcibly took away the night dream spirit. ”

The high priest's eyes flashed with a cold light: "However, he was not greedy enough to swallow the elephant, and snatched the relics of the gods, and the king took his life as the guide, burned the power of the relics of the gods, and burned Fan Yaqi to ashes." When he was dying, the king asked the whole clan to pray together, and planted the most vicious red mare curse of our people. ”

"Because of the loss of the relics of the gods, we have completely lost the last trace of the protection of the cloud god, and the fortune of the clan has also been greatly damaged, this hatred and hatred is not enough to let Fan Yaqi's clan live in despair and pain for generations!"

Yuling was silent, he didn't expect the truth of history to be like this, it was Fan Yaqi's greed that caused those villagers bad luck and disasters for hundreds of years.

To some extent, Fan Yaqi does not deserve sympathy, but how innocent are his descendants?
