Chapter 407: The High Priest's True Face (Part 3)
* * *: Damn, I actually wrote until almost six in the morning before I finished three chapters. Jiu 'er's typing speed is truly shameful.
However, since I've already said that I'm going to make up for it, I should at least keep up with the numbers. It's fine if it's a little hard work, as long as everyone finds it interesting.
I'm also asking for some * * * and automatic subscriptions. Brothers, just treat it as sponsoring Jiu 'er with a pack of cigarettes for staying up late at night.
High Priest Ryun was truly not a person who was easy to get along with. Even though Uti was the emperor of the Golden Tent, he did not have any special privileges in his eyes. In his eyes, these people were just ants on a plane lower than him, insignificant and insignificant. The only reason why he remained in the insectoid race was because he was born here.
Despite his strength, Ryun had long since lost his mental balance, so his behavior was getting stranger and stranger, and he began to look down on his own people more and more.
Uti bit his lip, forcefully suppressing the displeasure in his heart. Ryun's words made him feel as if he had swallowed a fly, making him feel suffocated.
Ryun was very pleased to see the emperor of the Golden Tent being toyed around in the palm of his hand. His expression seemed to be saying, 'See? So what if he's the emperor of the Golden Tent? In the end, doesn't he still have to beg me to share his burden and solve his problems? Who asked me to be an expert? I have to take care of the juniors of my race, right? '
Uti forced a smile. "High priest, I feel that Duabi's group being inexplicably sent several million lightyears away is very suspicious. Could it have been done by that human warrior? However, this sort of method has never been heard of before, and it's truly inconceivable. If your esteemed self doesn't make an appearance, I'm afraid that us juniors will have a hard time dealing with him. "
Uti made up his mind. In any case, his dignity had already been shredded and trampled on by that old monster Ryun, so he might as well shamelessly beg him for help. There were times when having some dignity was not worth it, and Uti knew this very well.
Alas, High Priest Ryun did not think much of Uti's words. "What do you mean by sending several million lightyears away? Could it be that your subordinates were just making things up, or perhaps they were sucked into a temporary wormhole? Who in the world could do something so bizarre? Even I can't do it."
Uti nodded. It was indeed possible that they had been sucked into a temporary wormhole, but to pass through a temporary wormhole, they would have to pass through a dazzling river of stars. According to Duabi's description, all they saw was darkness before their eyes, and right after that, they appeared a million lightyears away, where exotic beasts gathered, which did not match the characteristics of a temporary wormhole. As for making up stories, Uti believed that Duabi did not have the guts to do so. Even if he could lie to him, Laresh, one of the Seven Champions, would never lie to him.
In any case, since High Priest Ryun was adamant that it was not man-made, Uti had nothing else to say. After all, this was just his conjecture without any basis.
"Six" Since Priest Nodded Four Had Was Two Two, Said Since R, Have of, Two, a, one, Priest of Two, "Seven of" of One Long Of Two, I have Two "That Master of Two Least Long Two Got Long
The girl nodded, expressionlessly standing by Uti's side.
The more Uti looked at the girl, the more surprised he became. Bright Mirror was indeed very pretty, a first-rate beauty. Her skin was fair and clear, her fingers long and slender, and she had an artistic air to her.
However, Bright Mirror was clearly not an insectoid! She was a human!
It was one thing for High Priest Ryun to be unwilling to go, but how could he send a human girl to accompany him?! Those who were not of the same race were bound to have a different heart, but why would the high priest have a human by his side?
Uti furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment before he braced himself and said, "Lord Priest, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Ryun Master rolled his eyes and sarcastically said, "What's inappropriate about it? Though Bright Mirror isn't of my race, she's completely loyal to me, and her martial arts are much stronger than those useless subordinates of yours. Nothing will go wrong if she takes action. Don't you trust me? "
"I wouldn't dare!" Uti hurriedly bowed to Ryun. "Since the high priest has spoken, Uti will obey. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back with Miss Bright Mirror."
Ryun disapprovingly said, "Go. There's no need to look for me if there's nothing else. I'm going into seclusion for the time being."
The tone of his voice was actually treating Uti as his own disciple or grand-disciple. Uti helplessly smiled and left with Bright Mirror.
Bright Mirror was a dull person, following behind Uti like a block of wood. Uti was also helpless. He had gone through so much trouble to invite a human girl back? How could he say that?
However, it seemed like Ryun would not be leaving the capital for some time, which was a good thing for Uti. With him around, he would come in handy at a critical moment. No matter how arrogant he was, he could not just stand by and watch someone die, could he?
It was true that Ryun looked down on him, but he would not just stand by and do nothing at a critical juncture. After all, he was the most respected figure of his race, second only to the Black and White Gods, and he could not afford to lose face like that.
It was just that the girl beside him made Uti feel very awkward. She looked so weak that she did not seem like an expert. Besides, she was a human, and the insectoid army was currently attacking the Pan-human Alliance. Sending a human to deal with another human? No matter how he thought about it, Uti found it unreliable.
'It'd be great if this girl died earlier. Maybe Ryun would personally make a move then?' Uti thought to himself.
Glancing resentfully at Bright Mirror, Uti's lips curled into a wicked smile.
…
As soon as Uti left, the youth beside High Priest Ryun bowed and said, "Master, what Uti just described was clearly done by a super expert who has mastered the Law of Space. Why did you deliberately direct his attention elsewhere?"
Compared to the scholarly and weak Mingjing, this young man appeared much more crude. The thick black fur on his chest was exposed, and his arms and face were covered in scales that had yet to degenerate. Apart from his somewhat childish eyes, he looked more like an adult insectoid, and his voice was somewhat muffled when he spoke.
Ryun chuckled. "Mingzhu, the fewer people who know about the Law of Space, the better. Don't forget that once the people of the world learn of such a mysterious technique, they'll definitely go all out to learn it. It's enough that the few of us in the race only need to know about this. You don't want to have so many opponents appear out of thin air, do you?
"We enjoy the treatment of gods in the race. Whether you want treasure or beauty, these fools will immediately offer it to you. Isn't that a wonderful feeling? Do you want to share this glory with others?
"In this world without gods, we are gods! We are an insurmountable existence! Since no one knows the truth, why should we point it out? "
Mingzhu seemed to understand a little. Keeping secrets had always been a common trick of the strong. The weaker an expert was, the more they were afraid of their ultimate techniques being learned by others. This was because they did not have much in their grasp, and they did not have much to lose.
True experts would not do this, for they were filled with confidence in their future. Even if they stood on the same starting line, they would not lose to anyone, let alone teach others what they had already thoroughly studied.
If Uti were present at this moment, he would definitely be sighing. His judgment was not wrong. High Priest Ryun was truly a narrow-minded fellow. He was afraid that others would learn about the Law of Space, afraid that he would be pulled down from his pedestal, which was why he was so cautious in everything he did and was extremely harsh to others.
Mingzhu furrowed his brows in thought for a while before asking, "Since that human expert is likely a super expert who has grasped the Law of Space, isn't sending little sister Bright Mirror out like an egg hitting a rock? Her cultivation is simply not enough to deal with a true Law Inheritor. I'm afraid that she'll be in danger this time."
* Smack! *
Mingzhu received a heavy blow on his head. He hurriedly covered his head with his hand and looked at his master in horror.
"Fool! If I don't let Bright Mirror be involved, do I have to go myself? If that person really is an expert who has grasped the Law of Space, do I really have to make an enemy out of him?
"When two experts who have grasped the Law of Space face off, no matter who wins or loses, it's certain to cause a huge storm. Your master has been looking forward to entering that circle for 731 years! Now that I have a chance to advance, is it worth it if I lose my life in a confrontation with an expert who has grasped the Law of Space?
"You're such a blockhead! What could be more important than advancing? As long as the opponent is also an expert who has grasped the Law of Space, even if his cultivation is much lower than mine, I can't take the risk of making an enemy out of him! This is a wait of 731 years! I have to be safe! Safe! Even more safe! Even if it's one percent of the risk, I can't take it! "
No one could have imagined that High Priest Ryun was not only narrow-minded but also afraid of death. But when they thought about how he had waited more than seven hundred years to enter the circle of super experts, it was understandable that he was unwilling to put himself in danger. Anyone else would probably make the same choice.
Of course, a madman like Xia Fei was not one of them.
Sighing, Ryun feigned kindness and said, "In truth, if that human warrior truly has grasped the Law of Space, destroying the insectoids is as easy as raising a hand. He can just use Spatial Distortion to crush planets and push them over. There's no need to go through the trouble of hunting down Sacred Warriors. Thus, the chances of him being a super expert aren't high.
"But it's not worth it for your master to take the risk. I'll have Mingjing test the firepower. If she can destroy him in one fell swoop, there's nothing more to say. If I can send my disciple to deal with someone who can make even the emperor of the Golden Tent restless, wouldn't that be a perfect demonstration of the might of me, High Priest Ryun?"
Mingzhu asked in confusion, "What if Mingjing can't deal with him and is the one being dealt with instead?"
Ryun said, "I left a spark in Mingjing's body. Once it's extinguished, your master will know no matter how far away you are. If the opponent isn't a Law Inheritor and only relied on superior martial arts to obtain victory, your master will naturally go out and take charge of the situation, eliminating him in one fell swoop. When the time comes, I'll push all the blame onto Mingjing and say that this lass isn't skilled enough. I believe that no one in the race will dare to say anything.
"If the opponent really is an expert who has grasped the Law of Space, then we, master and disciple, should quickly find an excuse to leave this place. We mustn't become enemies with him. In any case, your master is an expert, so it's normal for me to not see his face. In order to enter the circle of super experts, there are some things that must be given up, or else all our previous efforts will be wasted.
"There's no point in keeping that mute Mingjing around. I originally intended to keep her by my side to relieve my boredom. After all, human girls are far more interesting than insectoid girls, but I didn't expect that lass to be so stubborn and refuse to cooperate with your master! Since that's the case, I'll have to let her be a sacrifice. She's been with me for so long, and I've made the best use of her. Sigh. "
Mingzhu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Today, Mingjing had been thrown to her death by Ryun. Would it be his turn tomorrow?
…
Xia Fei, who was many, many lightyears away, had no idea that the insectoids had a super expert who had grasped the Law of Space! Moreover, this super expert had already set his sights on him!
No matter how wretched and narrow-minded High Priest Ryun was, he was still an existence on a whole plane above Xia Fei! It had not been long since the storm with Yujiang and Yuhua had passed, and Xia Fei still had some lingering fear of their ability to summon clouds and rain with a flip of their hands. This Ryun was probably even more difficult to deal with than they were.
As the old saying went, it was better to offend a gentleman than a villain. A gentleman was magnanimous and upright, while a villain was despicable, sinister, and unscrupulous.
