Chapter C142
The High Priest!
On the way to the underground Lizard Man's tribe, Shi Zhantian still had his arms around the Lizard Man's shoulders as if they were all familiar with each other, causing everyone to laugh out loud.
Ling Xiao and the rest, on the other hand, majestically walked towards the tribe of Lizard Man. This was the first time Ling Xiao and the others had received such an invitation.
When they heard this elderly voice, other than Lizard Man, everyone else was stunned!
Didn't the Lizard Man not understand human speech? Why did this mysterious old man speak the human language? What was this treatment?
Then looking at the Lizard Man, after hearing this old voice, every one of them knelt with a face full of reverence! Kowtow towards that voice!
"Well, Ayeba, invite them in!" The old voice resounded once again!
The leader who was with Ling Xiao and the others had a look of joy on his face, and then, he excitedly began to lead the way for Ling Xiao and the others.
They followed the leader known as Ayeba through the residences of the Lizard Man and arrived at the tallest cave in the middle of the tribe.
It was obvious that the old voice came from this cave!
Just as they entered the cave, everyone felt that this was not a cave, but a gigantic palace. After walking a few metres, Ling Xiao and the others discovered that there were oil lamps on both sides of the road, releasing bright flames!
The road was wide, more than ten meters wide. Everyone did not feel crowded as they walked! And on both sides of the road, there were two rows of Lizard Man s standing there. Each of them was solemn and respectful, as if they were receiving a review.
At this moment, no one said a word and quietly followed the leader.
After a short while, everyone arrived at a large hall, which was evidently much larger than the hall Ling Xiao and the others were in earlier. A huge oil lamp hung above the hall, brightening the entire hall!
After arriving at the hall, the leader respectfully bowed and left, leaving Ling Xiao and the rest behind.
"Haha, welcome, my fellow human friends, this is the Lizard Man Tribe, please forgive us for our slight disrespect!"
Everyone who were standing suddenly heard an old voice. Everyone looked forward and saw that at the head of the hall, an old man had already appeared!
He was completely dressed in black, and there was no difference between him and a human beside his old face! This old man was actually human?
When Ling Xiao and the others noticed the old man, the old man was smiling at them!
"This senior is really disturbing me. Please forgive me for offending you previously!" Ling Xiao took a step forward and politely said.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was the only one on his side while the others remained motionless, the old man's blurry eyes grew clearer in that instant.
However, Ling Xiao and the rest did not notice.
"Haha, it's alright. Don't worry about it!" The old man said in a very amiable manner.
"This …" Ling Xiao was a little puzzled at the moment, but he did not say it out loud.
"Hehe, this young friend is questioning whether I am a human or not?" The old man smiled wisely.
As for Ling Xiao, he smiled a little embarrassedly!
"Hehe, that's nothing. This old man is indeed not a Lizard Man, but a human! Are you wondering why they did this to me? " The old man said again.
With these words, Ling Xiao and the others felt that it was extremely funny. It was as if this old man knew everything that they were thinking in front of this old man!
"Haha, youngsters are fine. In fact, the reason they treat me like this is because I'm their High Priest!" At that time, the old man would honestly say it!
"Then may I ask why Senior became the High Priest of the Lizard Man?" Xiao Bang smelled it now.
"Alright, since the few of you have questions, this old man will tell you. Every single High Priest in Lizard Man was actually a human! As you all know, the Lizard Man is an ally of us humans, we helped the human race in the ancient times, and they are very friendly, they will not easily offend human beings, and the person who is in the Lizard Man is very intelligent, only after reaching the Mysterious Transformation Realm will he materialize into a human form, and can speak our language! " The High Priest said bluntly.
Everyone nodded their heads. After all, there was no need for the High Priest to answer these questions.
"Senior, since you know that we are humans, do you also know that we are outsiders?" Ling Xiao asked.
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, the High Priest did not speak immediately. Ling Xiao and the rest looked at the High Priest nervously.
To everyone's surprise, the entire space seemed to have frozen in the moment when the High Priest was deep in thought. Only after the High Priest's brows relaxed did the space return to normal.
Ling Xiao was shocked, the High Priest was definitely a great expert, as to what realm he was in, it was unknown, thus Ling Xiao planned to deal with it carefully.
"Hehe, if I knew, what would you think?" The High Priest said kindly.
"What?" Senior actually knows of it? "Oh my god!" Everyone exclaimed.
"This is nothing, and I know why you're here!" The old man said mysteriously.
"It can't be. Does senior really know?" The moment the crowd said this, they immediately realized that something wasn't right. However, they couldn't figure out what was wrong!
Only Ling Xiao and Li Mengru kept their eyes on the mysterious High Priest!
"Hur hur, what's the big deal! This is the Void Spirit Wonderland, and we are currently in the core region? Did I say anything wrong? " The High Priest asked again.
Everyone nodded and did not speak.
Afterwards, the High Priest did not care about everyone's expression and continued, "This place does indeed have the inheritance of the sealer, and it's in the core region. But, how hard is it to obtain the inheritance of the sealer?"
At this moment, everyone could no longer resist!
"Heavens, Senior actually knows even these!" Xiao Bang said in the most excited of voices.
The High Priest smiled and nodded, but Ling Xiao and the rest were unable to understand, what did the High Priest want to express?
"Senior, dare I ask, since you know our goal, why did you still keep us here?" Ling Xiao stared at the old man and said.
"Hehe, little fellow, there is no need to be so nervous. Since I know all of this, it must be because someone else had been here before, but they did not obtain the inheritance of the sealer, and I do not have any other intentions! "As a human, I'm not used to facing this kind of environment all day long at the beginning, but it became a lot better after that. Now, I want to say, I want to see how the young people are doing, and it's also related to the sacrificial ceremony!" The High Priest said sincerely.
Ling Xiao and the rest slowly relaxed their eyebrows!
"Senior, you said that it's related to this sacrificial ceremony. I would like to ask what this sacrificial ceremony is like!" Yang Hucheng also looked at the High Priest with hope.
"Hehe, no need to be so nervous everyone. We are all human, and I have already long surpassed your age group. If I wanted to harm you guys, do you guys think you would still be alive?" The High Priest then released his aura.
The crowd only felt a burst of difficulty in breathing. Those with weaker cultivations had their faces turn red from holding their breath.
Seeing the situation, Ling Xiao quickly stepped forward and said: "Senior, please calm your anger, we are young and vigorous, and we have committed many offenses earlier, please forgive us!"
"Hehe, it's alright. Everyone has their youth, so let's forget about it this time. However, if we meet someone else next time, it would be hard to say!" The High Priest laughed as he spoke.
"Remember Senior's teachings!" Everyone saluted as they walked forward.
That's right, the High Priest was unfathomably powerful. If he had any evil thoughts, he wouldn't have bothered to talk so much.
"Senior, may I ask if you need our help in this sacrificial ceremony?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Hehe, this is the crux of the problem. Since I know your goal, I won't interfere with you. However, after the sacrificial activity, I will naturally tell you about this!" The High Priest said.
