Chapter Eighty-Nine: The True Face of the High Priest
Xiao He and Lin'er broke in, and when they were about to make a move just now, it was Xiao He who shouted loudly and shocked the audience.
The High Priest slowly lowered the staff of dead wood in his hand, and he shook his head with a "rattle" sound of bones rubbing.
"Huh, are you two Terrans too, how did you break in?"
Seeing this, Le Marquette immediately rushed forward, drew his sword, pointed at Xiao He and the others, and shouted:
"Dare to break into the Shark Palace, don't you want to live?"
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, this blue shark man had a bit of courage, so he said:
"The Terrans you want to kill have something to do with the two of us, if you don't explain it, don't think about it and torture it casually!"
Le Marquette turned his head to look at his father, who was slowly coming to his senses.
"Well, is it a Terran, Quart, you put down your sword first, and I'll hear what they both have to say. The old city lord showed great interest at this time.
Le Marquette took the sword and retreated.
"You guys hurry up and let go of that person..."Lin'er saw that her brother was covered in injuries and felt distressed.
The old city lord squinted his eyes, looked at the high priest, and said:
"High Priest, look..."
"Quack," the High Priest let out a strange cry again, "Good, good... Let's keep his life for now, and then I'll finish it later..."
Lin'er hurriedly rushed up, untied the rope, and helped Xiao Qi up.
"Xiaoqi, how are you?" Lin'er had tears rolling in her eyes.
"Sister... You're here to save me, Xiaoqi is so happy... I really thought I'd never see my sister again..."Xiao Qi said weakly, his lips chapped, obviously caused by extreme dehydration.
"It's all my sister's fault that I'm late, my sister will never put you in danger again..."Lin'er blamed herself.
"What the master gave me, I must complete..."As he spoke, Xiao Qi stared at the high priest, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, "This person is the Demon Clan... He wants to break the seal and take away Chiyou's heart, but he must not let him succeed..."
The high priest looked at Lin'er and Xiaoqi, shook his head and sighed, and said:
"This disgusting feeling of your human race makes me uncomfortable. This priest has been serving the city lord in this merman palace for decades, how did he become a demon in the mouth of your human race?"
"To offend the high priest is to offend the god of the sea, no matter who it is, it will be killed, I specially sacrificed your brother's blood to the gods, and I can afford him!"
"Phew, you wolf in human skin, do you think you can fool everyone?"
Lin'er said, helped Xiao Qi to jump up, stood on Xiao He's side, and confronted the high priest.
The city lord got up slowly, he looked at Xiao He and the others, and said:
"I am the city lord of this merman city, and my words also have some weight, this high priest has been with me since I was a child, and I am really not a demon. I'm afraid a few people have misunderstood, right?"
When the high priest heard the city lord say this, he also nodded, and then took off his mask, showing the appearance of an ordinary old man of the Yellow Shark people.
Xiao He was taken aback, this high priest couldn't feel a trace of strange aura all over his body, maybe Xiao Qi really admitted his mistake?
Xiao Qi saw Xiao He's questioning eyes, so he said, "Sister, who is this?"
"This mortal saved me in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Mountain, and I'll tell you slowly in the future..."Lin'er replied.
"Mortal, this name is so weird..."Xiao Qi thought so, and said:
"Big mortal brother, this high priest was chased by me all the way, and he has a strong demon aura on him, but I don't know how to hide it. But, now that I think about it, this bastard just deliberately lured me in..."
When Xiao He heard Xiao Qi say this, he was shocked again. If this high priest is really a demon as Xiao Qi said, then he can hide his aura like this, and his strength must be undoubted, I'm afraid that none of them are opponents.
And he took the initiative to let Xiao Qi find his hiding place, I'm afraid he had ulterior motives. Thinking about it carefully, Xiao He stared at the high priest who seemed to have nothing to do at this time, and felt more and more that a big conspiracy was about to surface.
At this time, Xiao He was thinking about how to retreat with his whole body, this high priest did not show his original form on the spot and killed them, I am afraid that he still cared about something.
The high priest paced left and right, looked at Xiao He and the others, and said:
"After talking for a long time, do you have any evidence? I have lived with the city lord since childhood, and he can testify for me. Don't listen to this hateful foreigner!"
The city lord nodded, and the other old people of the Shark Palace also whispered.
"The High Priest has been with the old lord since he was a child, and I can testify!" said an old man.
"I can also testify that this high priest has not harmed a person..."
"Yes, the High Priest is the medium through which we communicate with the god of the sea, and it is sacrosanct!"
Many of those who supported the high priest came forward and testified in his belief.
The high priest squinted his eyes, stared at Xiao He and the others, and said:
"Look, everyone's eyes are bright, and my high priest is not a monster. That boy, you must leave me behind, and whoever offends me, even the great gods, deserves to die!"
Xiao He felt a crisis that had never existed, and they were already embattled at this time.
"Escape out first..."Xiao He thought so, walked towards the city lord, just bowed, and said:
"Old city lord, be polite, a few of us are Terrans from the mainland, I am a disciple of the Shushan faction, and their sister and brother are under the seat of the Ink Pupil Scattered Immortal. That little brother was young and ignorant, and he offended the high priest, and asked the old city lord to spare him this time for the sake of the face of the cultivators on the mainland..."
"This..."
The old city lord didn't agree with the high priest very much, and he had to kill this young man, but at this time, when he heard Xiao He say this, his master turned out to be a mainland scattered immortal, and he couldn't afford to offend, so he couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
"High priest, I think it's better to let him go, disciple of the Scattered Immortals, I can't offend Shark Island..."
"Hmph, what can I do with the scattered immortals, can I be afraid? City Lord, my Shark Island is blessed by the god of the sea, even if the ancient gods come, they have nothing to fear!" The high priest flicked his sleeves and shouted, "Today this shaft must die, and I will use his blood to sacrifice to the god of the sea!"
Lin'er trembled with anger, and he said to Xiao He:
"Mortal, don't beg him again, I have a way to make this bastard reveal his true identity!"
As she spoke, she pulled something out of her storage bracelet and pointed it at the High Priest.
Xiao He saw that it was a black coral that he and Lin'er had purchased during the day.
"I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly, Adversary, look at what this thing is, why don't you show up soon!" Lin'er shouted, turning the black coral into a puff of black smoke that spread around the High Priest.
The high priest dodged the black smoke for fear that it would touch his body, and cried out:
"It's Black Coral, you girl, do you want to force Uncle and me to show up? Originally, as long as you kill him, you can use the blood of the gods to break the seal, it seems that you are all going to die here, quack..."
As he spoke, the black smoke enveloped the high priest, and then swelled violently several times, and a black shadow several feet high gradually revealed its outline in the black smoke.
