Chapter 293 - 293 It's Not Time Yet

293 It’s Not Time Yet

“But why did you look like that just now? We all thought that you were already…”

For Ye Xuan, it was a piece of cake. There was still some black Qi left in his body, and now it was purified by the system, so it was not difficult to disguise it.

“If I didn’t do that just now, do you think that the high priest would let me off so easily?”

It was all thanks to Ye Xuan’s quick-witted idea. If the high priest knew that the sacrifice had failed and that his master had not arrived, who knew how he would deal with them?

“That’s true, but it’s still too dangerous. If the high priest finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable. We should leave this place as soon as possible.”

Ye Xuan shook his head and replied, “It’s not time yet.”

He was confident in his skills. The high priest did not notice anything just now, so he thought that the high priest would not be able to see any problems in the future.

Moreover, that strange heart had indeed entered his body. Even if the high priest racked his brains, he would never have thought that his master had not descended and that everything was Ye Xuan’s disguise.

Shen Changling was a little anxious as he said, “It’s so dangerous here. If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to leave when the high priest finds out.”

It would be suspicious if he left now, not to mention that Ye Xuan still had to figure out the background of the high priest and the master he spoke of. If he didn’t figure this out, it would always be a hidden danger. Ye Xuan always felt that there was some other conspiracy in this.

Moreover, if Ye Xuan left just like that with that strange heart, the high priest would definitely not let it go. The high priest was undoubtedly a time bomb.

Therefore, even if Ye Xuan wanted to leave, he had to completely deal with the high priest. Otherwise, he would still be caught up by the high priest, and at that time, it would really end badly.

After Ye Xuan explained his plan, Qian Yuan nodded in agreement. “Ye Xuan is right. We have to figure this out.”

“But the high priest is not easy to deal with,” Shen Changling said worriedly.

Even if Ye Xuan was currently wearing a layer of shell and disguising his identity as the master, Qian Yuan had yet to recover. It would not be an easy task to deal with the unfathomable high priest.

“That’s why we can’t be anxious about this. Let me test him a few times. Maybe I can find the weakness of the high priest.”

Based on how respectful the high priest was to Ye Xuan earlier, if he was told to go east, the high priest definitely wouldn’t dare to go west. It was likely that Ye Xuan was still a very good deterrent.

Qian Yuan and Shen Changling discussed with each other for a while and decided to follow Ye Xuan’s plan. Ye Xuan had his own reasons as to why they should stay.

It didn’t take long for the high priest to come looking for Ye Xuan. The high priest’s head was so low that his head almost touched the dust.

“I was just about to look for you, but I didn’t expect you to come here first.”

“I wonder what instructions my master has for me?” the high priest asked respectfully.

“I’ve just woken up, and I’ve just fused with this body, so my memories aren’t complete yet. Tell me what’s the situation outside.”

These words had been in Ye Xuan’s mind for a long time. He was also trying to test the high priest. Even if the real master had eyes and hands everywhere and was extremely powerful, it was impossible for him to know everything about the outside world.

As expected, the high priest did not doubt Ye Xuan’s words at all. Instead, he was in fear and trepidation.

“I, your subordinate, am useless. I’ve only just woken up recently. When I found out that there was an accident with the bone dragon, I began to deal with the altar. As for what’s happening in the outside world, I haven’t asked around about it yet.”

This piece of news was undoubtedly good news for Ye Xuan and the others.

It turned out that the high priest had only recently awakened and knew nothing about the outside world.

“Actually, with Master’s ability, the outside world doesn’t matter. Sooner or later, Master’s footprints will travel all over the world and make those ants submit to you.”

It could be said that the high priest had blind confidence in Ye Xuan, who was pretending to be his master.

Either he was exaggerating and was a fanatical believer, or the so-called master really had such an ability.

Compared to the first scenario, Ye Xuan believed the second scenario more. From the various means this master left behind, it could be seen that whether it was the previous secret realm, the bone dragon later on, or even this altar, his shadow was more or less present.

The high priest in front of him was also a figure from a thousand years ago. Even though he was so powerful, he was still loyal. In front of his so-called ‘Master’, he was like an ant. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be curious.

The high priest was uneasy, as if afraid that Ye Xuan would blame him. “Master, I’ll send someone to find out what’s going on in the outside world.”

“No need,” Ye Xuan shook his head and replied, “We’ll talk about it later.”

The high priest seemed to have thought of something. He asked, “By the way, Master, about the two humans from before…”

Ye Xuan just glanced at him indifferently and replied, “You seem to be quite concerned about their existence.”

It was just an ordinary look, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on the high priest’s forehead as if he was standing in front of some great evil. He mumbled, “I have overstepped my boundaries. I will definitely not speak out of turn in the future.”

Fortunately, Ye Xuan knew when to stop. “Forget it. Take me around to have a look.”

The high priest led the way. In the empty cave, the sound of their footsteps could be heard, but Ye Xuan could feel countless eyes watching him in the dark.

He knew that it was those humanoid creatures from before. It seemed that not only did he have to deal with the high priest, but he also had to deal with this group of ghostly things.
