Chapter 41: The High Priest
That kind of murderous aura is completely different from the murderous aura that Tu Lintian felt on the battlefield in the past.
This feeling is like being in an ice cave, and the next moment you are in a crater, ice and fire, making the cells of your whole body tense and restless, and you can't suppress it.
It was as if falling into the abyss, endless, stared at by the whole abyss, and finally gradually swallowed up by the darkness.
This is like a premonition, and it is so real that Tu Lintian couldn't tell it for a moment, thinking that his perception ability was too sensitive and he didn't adapt to it.
In fact, this is not the case, this is the result of the murderous aura that erupted from the black shadow, however, that kind of aura, if it is simply called murderous aura, does not seem to be very accurate. For this kind of aura, Tu Lintian couldn't define it, but the danger was very high, so he had to be on guard.
The aura that suddenly erupted from the Black Shadow Man made Tu Lintian even more sure that even if he was now, he was definitely not the opponent of the Black Shadow Man, even if he would not be killed in an instant, he would definitely not last long.
He was not afraid of the Shadow Man because of this, but he still raised his vigilance, he trusted his own judgment, he was very critical in the whole plan of the Shadow Man, he spent so much energy and material resources to create his "puppet", it was impossible to give up it easily.
As he expected, that breath only took a few breaths, and then it was swept away, disappearing so quickly that it didn't look like a murderous aura.
The collection and release of murderous energy can be aptly compared to the rising tide and the falling tide, which are not achieved overnight.
And this breath is more like appearing out of thin air and disappearing out of thin air, the only thing that can be determined is that the breath belongs to the black shadow man, everything else is unknown, and I don't know much about it here.
However, that aura seemed to restrain him, making any of his actions a little sluggish, and this kind of suppressive existence also affected the operation of the spiritual power of Tu Lintian, but it was not so obvious and harmless.
All the breath was withdrawn by the black shadow, and the black shadow no longer stayed in place, but gradually moved, like a ghost attached to the ground, and slowly leaned towards the side of the heavens.
At the moment of ".......", the sky was like a great enemy, the pores of his whole body were erected, and the spiritual power full of his body was ready to move in his body, if it was necessary at a critical moment, he had to do it with the black shadow here.
Now there is no time and conditions to think about how to deal with the army of the Great Desolate Clan that has entered the city, there is no doubt that although there is only one "Black Shadow" in front of him, the threat is no smaller than the army of the Great Desolate Clan, and even above that!
There was still a deathly silence in the main hall, and the black shadow slowly fluttered, gradually approaching the sky.
The spiritual power in Tu Lintian's body gradually surged, and there was a wind around his body to deal with any situation that might arise next.
"You're guts....... It also has a lot of potential....... It's just a pity that I was born in the human race. A voice came from the dark shadow, no longer containing any murderous or hostile intent, and said these words very calmly.
"It's a pity....... Being baptized by this magic circle that I have laid is destined to be inevitable...... The end of death. The voice of the dark shadow grew clearer, not because it was getting closer and closer to the heavens.
Originally, the voice of the black shadow was very old and hoarse, and there was also a sense of distance, like a voice hundreds of miles away, which was transmitted here with spiritual power as a medium, so that Tu Lintian could hear it clearly.
By now, the sound had become more and more real, and at the same time, the black shadow had changed its original unchanging rhythm, suddenly began to expand, and then gradually contracted.
As the black shadow continued to shrink, a figure in a black robe appeared from the black shadow.
It was as if he had stepped out of the shadows, first the head, then the whole body, leaning out of the shadows from beginning to end.
Tu Lintian squinted his eyes, wanting to see the true face of that person, and his own defense was gradually let go.
The man was wrapped tightly in a black robe, and except for the exposed hand and the wooden staff in his hand, it was impossible to tell that there was anyone inside.
The man couldn't see his face clearly, and his body was rickety, and he looked even shorter and thinner in front of the reborn Tu Lintian. Although Tu Lintian couldn't distinguish his identity from the clothes and outfits of the black-robed man, if Haolu and the others were present, it would not ....... Even the most ordinary warriors of the Great Wilderness Clan are here, and they can tell from the wooden staff and black robe that the person in front of them is the high priest in the Great Wilderness Clan's camp!
The rickety figure, the patterns on the black robe, and the scepter in his hand were all the property of the high priest!
If all the objects can be faked, the tone that is difficult for others to imitate and the unique aura of the high priest are hard to deny.
Plus....... The circle that had sat on the ground was exactly the same as the one depicted by the high priest in the camp, with only slight differences.
This is simply shocking, no one can believe that the person who helped Liangshan City survive is not another person from the upper realm at all, but the high priest who has the supreme leadership and right to speak outside the camp of Liangshan City now!
That being the case, some of the high priests' strange decisions before that could be explained.
At such a juncture, there was no need for the high priest to be alone in the camp. It is said that it is to command the army, but in fact, it is just a rhetoric. If it is to command in person on the battlefield, it is also the link of communication between Haolu and the high priest.
Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, even if it is only a second of delay, it may affect the fighters, and in addition, the camp is now empty, there are no resources left, and there is no need to stay.
What's more, at that time, Liangshan City was like a lamb to the slaughter, and there was no power to resist, and at that time, the city protection circle had not been restarted, so it was even less worth mentioning, and taking Liangshan City was as simple as crushing all the way.
Moreover, the realm of the high priest is still above the commander Mengge, even if he goes to the battlefield in person, there is no threat at all, and no one can get close to him, let alone seven thousand commanders and 20,000 troops to press the border.
At that time, the understanding of the seven commanders of the seven thousand commanders was that there was no need for the high priest himself to come to Liangshan City in person, and the siege of the city could be handled by them, and the high priest communicated with Meng Ge about suppressing the dragon roar phenomenon.
In fact, when Meng Ge arrived at Liangshan City leisurely, they should have realized that the dragon roar phenomenon was not as serious as the high priest said, otherwise Meng Ge would not have been able to spare the time to help them attack the city anyway.
It was not necessary for the high priest to come to the outside of Liangshan City at all, but he had already come to the place of Tulintian at some point.
And according to the conversation between the two, it is clear that this is not the first time the two have met!
All this was arranged in advance by the high priest, and none of the steps came as he expected.
It's like now that he has to show up, facing the doubts of the heavens, and it's under his control.
"I can't see your face clearly. Tu Lintian frowned, stepped forward, and said.
After a while, the high priest sighed, stretched out his left hand, hidden in his robe, and pulled the hood from his head.
“........”
It was a very old face, with a lot of wrinkles on the face, dry, dark complexion, and dry and messy hair, which blocked his countenance, and it was still difficult to see his true face.
If it weren't for the fact that he had exuded such terrifying fluctuations, being in another place would only make others think that this was just an ordinary old peasant.
In particular, he is rickety, much shorter than the human race, and it does not remind people that he is the high priest of the Great Wilderness Clan.
Tu Lintian was puzzled, just looking at this appearance and aura, he didn't look like someone he had known at all, and he wouldn't have thought that the person in front of him was the high priest of the Great Wilderness Clan.
Because, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to think that the Great Wilderness Clan will help Liangshan City at such a critical juncture when the city is broken, so that they can breathe a little more.
It is impossible for anyone within the Great Wilderness Clan to think about it, let alone anyone who will know about it.
This is beyond common sense, and it doesn't make any sense from any point of view.
It's just why, in the camp, when Haolu told the high priest that the city protection circle had been reopened, and it might be the handiwork of someone from the upper realm, the high priest would be puzzled.
Maybe he pretended to do it, or maybe he showed his true feelings.
If he showed his true feelings, how could he help the "mastermind" of Liangshan City?
"You, you're doing a good job, it's just a demonstration of mine, and you can restart the circle in my absence......" The High Priest spoke at this moment, and before he came, Tu Lintian had already restarted the circle on its own and strengthened it a lot.
Although this was not done by the High Priest himself, he had taught it to the heavens.
And that was the last and most unnecessary scruple of the high priest, he was worried that when the change in Liangshan City was finally reported to the Great Wilderness Realm, people would suspect that he was the obstruction, so he acted in a play for Haolu and the others to see, let them know that when the Liangshan City magic circle was restarted, the high priest who was not outside the city was in the camp and was not going anywhere.
Then, he handed over all the aftermath to Monger with confidence.
Because not long ago, when he first came into contact with Tu Lintian, he had already figured out the details of Liangshan City, even if he helped Tu Lintian restart the magic circle, but that was also the final essence, there was nothing to stop Mengge, and there would be nothing they couldn't solve, so that they could contact themselves again.
Now, everything until now was within the plan of the High Priest, and even if Tu Lintian forced him to really appear, he was not too surprised by the many possibilities he had thought of in advance, and he did not hide from it, so he appeared in front of Tu Lintian's eyes.
