There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 344
Chapter 344: 344, [Second Priest] (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch “Tang Ningning” for the reward!)
Seeing “Primordial Power” in his list of special attribute points, Lu Xun fell into silence.
He was certain that others did not have this option.
“Is it because I have this attribute in my character panel to begin with?” Lu Xun wondered in his mind.
However, this unique attribute essentially only had a radar function at present, allowing him to sense the presence of Foreign Races from a great distance. Oh, and also, it had a lock-picking function, letting him enter the altar unobstructed when he was close. If you put it bluntly, it was transparent…
To put it simply, once you acquired “Primordial Power”, the altar would regard you as its own.
The most intimate kind.
“What’s happening? I wasn’t planning to infiltrate as an undercover!” Lu Xun closed the shop with a faint smile.
He would certainly put the points on “Swordsmanship Aptitude”. For his total combat power, this would have the biggest impact and be the most worth it.
After all, because of the “Faction” issue, “Primordial Power” was a special attribute point that could not be used normally. It would have limited utility unless he defected to the enemy.
As for defecting… what a joke!
He had already made enemies with the Foreign Race. He would find ways to make them pay for just Mao Nanbei’s life!
In the Ink Sea, on a nameless small island.
The Ink Sea was vast, so large that it stretched as far as the eye could see.
There were many islands in the sea. Besides some famous ones, most were nameless small islands.
In these waters, some large islands did host some Cultivation Sects, but most were medium or small sects and not very powerful.
And these uninhabited small islands were virtually unvisited.
At this moment, in the dense forest in the center of an unnamed small island, a man in a dark red cloak stood, with a man kneeling behind him.
This man looked slightly similar to Yin Tian; he was Yin Tian’s younger brother.
“Yin Ming, do you know, your oldest brother betrayed us?” The man in the dark red cloak spoke with a somewhat hoarse voice.
The kneeling Yin Ming hurriedly said: “Second Priest! That’s impossible! We all carry the ‘Blood Pact’, how could we betray you!”
The man known as the Second Priest turned around. He looked middle-aged, his skin was very fair, yet he was not scholarly-looking.
Because his eyebrows were thick and thick, somewhat monobrowed, it ruined his overall temperament.
Most importantly, his eyes were extremely deep.
It was interesting to say, the Foreign Races built so many altars on the Heavenly Dust Continent, and the main persons in charge were the three High Priests.
The “Junior Priest” looked like an extremely elderly man, but he was actually only seventeen years old, still at a young age.
The “Second Priest” looked more normal, middle-aged.
The oldest and highest-ranking “High Priest”, however, looked like a little boy.
The Second Priest, clad in a dark red cloak, slowly crouched down, his deep gaze fixed on Yin Ming, saying: “I know about the ‘Blood Pact’, but from the intelligence currently gathered, it seems that there is some issue with the ‘Blood Pact’ on your older brother?”
“Second Priest! This has never happened before. My big brother… my big brother can’t possibly have any problem!” Yin Ming lifted his head, speaking anxiously.
“Really? How about… you help me ask your deceased brother?” The Second Priest’s voice was gentle, but Yin Ming felt a chill running down his spine.
“I was just kidding.” The Second Priest gently patted his shoulder.
Yin Ming only felt his body relax, completely powerless, almost collapsing onto the ground.
Looking at him, the Second Priest continued: “But you see, according to the current intelligence, your big brother seems to have encountered some problems. And you, as his closest brother, do you think there might be some problems with your ‘Blood Pact’ too?”
Yin Ming, upon hearing these words, looked up abruptly, his pupils slightly dilated, his lips slightly parted, unable to form words for a while.
The ‘Blood Pact’ was an intangible thing flowing in their blood – how could it be proven whether there was a problem with it or not!
The Second Priest stretched out his right hand, grabbing Yin Ming by the neck and lifting him up.
Yin Ming’s feet dangled in the air, but he didn’t even have the courage to struggle.
Looking at him, the Second Priest said: “Honestly, I can’t figure out where the problem lies. Maybe Yin Tian has indeed betrayed us, or maybe not, but that’s no longer important.”
“What’s important is that the people of the Heavenly Dust Continent have become vigilant!”
“Do you know how angry the High Priest was when I met him a few days ago?”
“Even I was severely reprimanded by him.”
“Haha, you Yinling Clan have impressive strength. Rest assured, the Yinling Clan will continue to exist. But as Yin Tian’s younger brother, you are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Isn’t there any need for you?”
“Keeping you by my side, I also can’t feel at ease. You should understand, right? I’m not afraid of everything but only the unforeseen.” The Second Priest said with a veiled smile.
His eyes are not large, slightly bigger than Zhuge Lai Fu’s squinty eyes, but not by much.
Especially because his eyebrows are too thick, it further highlights the smallness of his pair of deep-set eyes.
Before Yin Ming could respond, a trace of dark red flame appeared on the Second Priest’s right hand.
Staring at the flame, Yin Ming shivered all over.
“Soul Devouring Flame!”
The flame quickly ignited on his body, and in a short while, turned him into ashes.
But what was strange was even the ashes kept burning.
They burned and burned until nothing was left, as if Yin Ming had been wiped out completely by an eraser, completely disappeared from this world without leaving a trace.
This is the power of Soul Devouring Flame.
Anything that touches it, except for its container, will be completely destroyed, not even leaving any dregs!
As if it was eaten down to the last crumb.
The Second Priest beckon with a finger, and the flame jumped up, retracting into the Red Jade Ring on his index finger.
The moment the flame entered the ring, the Red Jade Ring gleamed briefly. A fiery imprint moved around the ring before gradually dimming.
The Second Priest was standing there with his hands behind his back, habitually moving, lightly rotating the Red Jade Ring on his index finger with his thumb.
After a moment, he spoke, “You Ying.”
A tree’s shadow from behind slowly lengthened and then turned from flat to three-dimensional, transforming into a man not even one point six metres tall.
“Your subordinate is here.” You Ying respectfully answered.
“The work that brothers Yin Tian and Yin Ming failed to complete, you will now be responsible for.” The Second Priest continued to twirl the Red Jade Ring on his index finger as he spoke.
“Yes.” You Ying answered in a low voice, his tone still respectful.
Looking at the Red Jade Ring on the Second Priest’s hand, his eyes revealed a hint of fear.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen if he offended the flame inside the ring… He felt a chill all over!
But what happened next left him in shock.
He saw the Second Priest turn around, walk towards him, and remove the Red Jade Ring from his index finger.
He handed the ring to You Ying and said, “Wear this, in case of emergencies.”
He looked down at You Ying and continued, “This is an important matter and cannot be messed up, do you understand?”
You Ying raised his hands, trembling as he took the Red Jade Ring.
His Adam’s apple moved, gulped down a mouthful of saliva, then with a tremulous voice said, “Yes! Your subordinate understands!”
“Good, go.” The Second Priest waved his hand.
You Ying nodded, holding the Red Jade Ring in both hands, took a few steps backwards, then merged into the tree’s shadow, soon disappearing without a trace, vanishing without making a sound.
The Second Priest stood on an isolated island, looking up at the moon in the sky.
“The moon of the Heavenly Dust Continent is really beautiful.” He sighed deeply.
However, his deep-set eyes didn’t have any admiration for beautiful things.
He murmured to himself, repeating a person’s name:
“…Lu Xun.”
