Chapter 753 Two Groups of People, the High Priest Reveals the Inside Story
The old man waited for a while, and seeing that no one showed up, he continued: "I am the chief priest of the Netherworld Tribe here. It is not that I have discovered the trace of my friend, but I know a little about fortune-telling. I have already calculated that two groups of people will visit today. In addition, the Netherworld Beast was restless just now, so I knew that my friend had arrived here. I just don't know, which group are you from?"
Yuan Xiao heard this and turned to Xiao Qi and ordered: "This chief priest has some real skills. He can actually calculate that there are outsiders breaking in. I will go out to meet him. You continue to hide, and then follow us to hide aside. If the other party is not honest, immediately attack him from behind."
Xiao Qi nodded repeatedly and warned: "Be careful."
The two moved behind a bush first, and then Yuan Xiao walked out of the Hidden Feather alone, stepped forward, and said as he walked: "The chief priest has good skills, I admire him very much!"
Xiao Qi wore the Hidden Feather on his head, walked around to a distance of three feet, and then quietly moved to one foot behind the chief priest, took out the long whip and waited for it. As long as the high priest makes the slightest move against Yuan Xiao, she will take action.
"You are so young, yet you have come here. You are definitely not an unknown person! I am far inferior to you. Please come into the wooden house and let me do my best to be a good host. Please!" The high priest turned around and walked into the wooden house.
Yuan Xiao took a closer look and found that there was no formation in the room, so she walked in with confidence. Xiao Qi also followed in, still hiding not far behind the high priest, making sure that she could attack the high priest at any time.
"Drink tea? Or drink wine?" the high priest asked.
"Drink tea first. If we become friends in the future, it won't be too late to drink wine then!" Yuan Xiao replied.
"That makes sense." The high priest then began to make tea.
"Young man, do you have any request when you come to our Netherworld Tribe?" The high priest began to test.
"If I say I have no request and I just come to explore, will the high priest believe it?" Yuan Xiao asked back.
"Believe it, why not. Then you should be the second group of people, because the first group of people have something to ask for. They came earlier than you and have been discussing with the boss."
"Hey, you are the chief priest of the tribe, but they didn't call you for the discussion?"
"They wanted to call me, but because I don't agree with the content of the discussion and can't convince the chief, I had to leave on my own initiative and hide here to sulk."
"Oh, since there is a chief, it means there are also second and third chiefs?" Yuan Xiao asked.
"Young man, you are half right. The third chief doesn't have it, but the second chief does. The second chief, like me, doesn't agree with the content of the discussion, so he is probably sulk at home." The chief priest laughed.
"Why hasn't the chief priest taken action against me until now?" Yuan Xiao asked with interest.
"Because I calculated today that the key to resolving the tribal crisis this time lies in the second group of people. And you happen to be the second group of people. Is this reason enough?" The chief priest asked back.
"How do you know that I can resolve the crisis of the Netherworld Tribe? I don't even believe that I can do it."
"I can disbelieve you or myself, but I believe in the result of divination. In this life, many people have deceived me, but divination has never deceived me!" The high priest said firmly.
Yuan Xiao looked at the high priest in front of him, and suddenly remembered the master and apprentice Sanhua and Han Qi. They were not very reliable in anything they did, but the art of divination was very reliable. The high priest in front of him had this kind of momentum at the moment.
Yuan Xiao then picked up the teacup and drank tea, saying while drinking: "Since the high priest praises me so highly, why not tell me. What happened to the first group of people?"
"Our Netherworld Tribe was once glorious in the outside world, but because there was a period of time when there were too many Netherworld beasts, threatening the safety of life in the human world, it was suppressed by several big guys at that time. In the end, all five tribal branches in the five continents moved underground and disappeared from the human world." The high priest began to tell the story.
"And here we are, the Xiningzhou branch of the Netherworld Tribe. Although there are more than ten great masters in our tribe, it is not important. Because they are not short of masters, they mainly value the Netherworld Beasts here."
"Young man, do you know the characteristics of the Netherworld Beasts?" The high priest suddenly asked.
"It happens that I have dealt with them before. Netherworld Beasts can plunder the vitality and lifespan of monks, and they can switch between reality and illusion. They are not afraid of physical attacks or spell attacks. Only a very small number of magic weapons and heavenly fire that can restrain evil spirits can work on them. However, magic weapons that can restrain evil spirits are extremely rare in the human world! There is almost no heavenly fire in the human world!" Yuan Xiao answered easily.
"Well, young man, you have seen the world. Because this involves the secret of our Netherworld Tribe, the weakness of the Netherworld Beast is our secret, and the fewer people who know it, the better. After all, the Netherworld Beast is also the patron saint of our tribe."
"The first group of people are from the demon tribe. They hope to take a few Netherworld Beasts from here to help them devour the vitality and lifespan of the monks, so as to help them better deter and control some monks. In exchange, they can help open the seal at the hourglass eye, so that we can sneak back to the human world and secretly cultivate more Netherworld Beasts outside."
Yuan Xiao sneered: "Don't forget why you were sealed by the big guys back then. Don't forget the pain after the scar heals! If you still go outside to devour the vitality and lifespan of the monks or mortals in the human world like you did back then, it won't be long before another group of big guys will come to seal you again, and it's even possible that you will be killed this time!"
The high priest immediately applauded: "Young man, you said it well, very wonderful! That's right, the final result is obvious, and I have deduced that if we really give the Nether Beast to the demons, it is very likely that our entire tribe will be slaughtered in the future. Therefore, I strongly oppose the big boss to make a deal with the demons. However, the big boss does not listen to my opinion, and I am really helpless."
"How is the high priest's cultivation? How is the big boss's cultivation?" Yuan Xiao must ask this question clearly before making a decision.
"I am a great perfection of the Mahayana. The big boss's cultivation is much higher than mine. It is estimated that he has at least the strength of a calamity scattered immortal. The second boss is the same as me, and is also a great perfection of the Mahayana."
"If there is a chance, would you consider ascending to the fairyland?" Yuan Xiao asked casually.
"We have been sealed and trapped here for tens of thousands of years, and we can't go out to find the ascension platform. As for another way to cross the ascension calamity, we dare not try it. We know that our strength is low, and we dare not consider triggering the ascension calamity, otherwise we will definitely die under the ascension calamity!" The high priest began to laugh at himself.
Yuan Xiao nodded and asked, "What does the high priest want me to do?"
The high priest immediately said, "How dare I tell you to do anything? Just do what you want."
"What if I want to kill the boss? Will you stop me?"
The high priest stood up and began to pace back and forth. After a cup of tea, he sat down again and started to tell fortunes.
