292 Ye Xuan’s Disguise Deceived Everyone

The black mist dispersed, and everyone could see Ye Xuan’s appearance clearly. He had not changed much.

However, the high priest’s fanatical appearance made everyone know that the ‘Master’ he spoke of was about to awaken. He was already difficult to deal with, and now there was another unpredictable figure.

A look of despair appeared on Qian Yuan’s face. He was afraid that they really had no way out.

Shen Changling looked at the black mist that had not completely dissipated and finally remembered why he felt that it was familiar. He had seen this black mist in the secret realm before, which was the Penglai Immortal Beasts!

How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Before he could figure it out, Ye Xuan’s eyelashes moved, as if he was about to wake up.

‘Ye Xuan’ suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were mostly filled with thick and black color. His pupils were different from the black and white of the past. It was like the descent of the abyss, full of endless darkness and evil, which made people feel fear.

Although the “Ye Xuan” in front of them still had the appearance of a human, who knew what the h*ll was under the skin?

Shen Changling and Qian Yuan originally had a glimmer of hope, but when they saw “Ye Xuan”‘s state, their hearts fell to the bottom. Perhaps the ‘Master’ that the high priest said had really descended on Ye Xuan, and the will that originally belonged to Ye Xuan had disappeared.

Unlike their expressions, the high priest knelt on the ground with a fanatical expression. He greeted, “Welcome, Master. It’s our great honor.”

He seemed to have thought of something and carefully said, “I wonder if you are satisfied with this body, Master.”

“Ye Xuan” simply replied, “Yes.”

The high priest was so happy that he almost cried. He said, “Then I, your subordinate, did not let down your expectations, Master.”

“Ye Xuan” ignored him and looked at Qian Yuan and Shen Changling. In an instant, the two of them felt like they were being stared at by a giant monster that had just climbed out of the abyss. They felt their hair stand on end.

“These two people…”

The high priest quickly replied, “One of them is of supreme grade. The other is a lowly ant who accidentally barged in. I’ll deal with them now. I don’t want them to pollute your eyes, Master.”

He was about to make his move when “Ye Xuan” shook his head and said, “There’s no need. I have a use for these two.”

“I don’t know what use Master has for keeping them alive. Perhaps I, your subordinate, can help…”

The high priest was a little puzzled, but when he saw Ye Xuan’s extremely cold gaze, he was so scared that he didn’t dare to say anything more. He quickly apologized, “I have spoken too much. I have sinned, I hope that Master will spare my life.”

Looking at how scared he was, it seemed like Ye Xuan could take his life with a single thought.

“Ye Xuan” didn’t say much. “There won’t be a next time.”

The high priest cried tears of joy and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

“You may leave now.”

With the experience he had gained earlier, the high priest did not ask any more questions. He quickly left, bringing with him countless humanoid creatures.

The entire altar was suddenly half empty, and it seemed particularly spacious. Only “Ye Xuan”, Qian Yuan, and Shen Changling were left.

The high priest was not worried that these two could cause any harm to “Ye Xuan”. After all, according to their abilities, his master could crush them with one finger.

It was clearly a familiar face, but Qian Yuan and Shen Changling felt that “Ye Xuan” was extremely unfamiliar. For a moment, sorrow surfaced from their hearts. “Ye Xuan, you…”

Ye Xuan had already returned to his normal appearance, “I what?”

Shen Changling’s grief was frozen on his face. Even the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He couldn’t complete his sentence for a long time. “You, you, you!”

“It seems that my acting skills are not bad. You have all been fooled.”

Seeing this situation, Qian Yuan and Shen Changling finally understood what was going on. If it was really the ‘Master’ that the high priest had mentioned, he would not have used such a tone to speak, and there was no need to pretend to lie to them.

Shen Changling looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief. He asked “Elder Ye. Am I dreaming? What’s going on? You’re actually not possessed by that thing…”

There were many doubts in his mind, and all of them surfaced.

“Actually, it’s a long story. Do you still remember how the Penglai Immortal Beasts were bewitched and sacrificed more than half of their clan?”

Qian Yuan revealed a puzzled expression. “Penglai Immortal Beast?”

Shen Changling nodded quickly. After all, he and Ye Xuan had experienced it personally. “Speaking of which, the black Qi that wrapped around Elder Ye’s body just now was similar to what we saw in the secret realm.”

“It’s not similar, it is that black Qi. I can feel that the black Qi comes from the same source.”

Previously, Ye Xuan still didn’t know the origin of this black Qi, but now he knew that it was related to the ‘Master’ the high priest spoke of.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts and the black Qi that had been sacrificed in the secret realm had all been purified by Ye Xuan. He was deeply stirred by this. However, there were more or less some remnants in his body, but it didn’t matter.

This was also why it was able to attract the heart. It even impatiently flew out of the altar before it ripened.

Ye Xuan guessed that there might be something else on him that was worth the heart’s attention, but he didn’t know what it was.

Shen Changling smacked his head. “No wonder that strange heart looked at Elder Ye as if he was its family. So this is the reason.”

Ye Xuan didn’t reveal the existence of the system. He only said that he had a special treasure on him that could suppress the black Qi, so his body wasn’t taken over by the ‘Master’ the high priest spoke of.

Shen Changling was finally relieved. He was worried that Ye Xuan’s return to normal would only be temporary.
