295 Ye Xuan’s Abnormality and Strange Incantation
Since he got what he wanted, Ye Xuan didn’t need to deal with the high priest anymore. He quickly went back to tell Shen Changling and Qian Yuan about this major discovery.
“That’s great. According to what Elder Ye said, we only need to reverse the altar.”
Although this was the case, the actual operation was more difficult than imagined. Not to mention how they were going to do it under the high priest’s nose.
Moreover, if the high priest really knew, would he just sit back and wait for death? Besides, Ye Xuan didn’t know how the reverse altar could be reversed.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s analysis, Shen Changling couldn’t help but look depressed. “If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that even if we know the way, it’s useless?”
Ye Xuan shook his head and replied, “We can’t be so pessimistic. People can always come up with a solution. At least we have a clue now. We’re not like a headless chicken anymore, right?”
Shen Changling and Qian Yuan both nodded.
“It’s not convenient for both of you to run around. To avoid unnecessary trouble, just stay here and rest.”
As for Ye Xuan, his identity would not be revealed for a while. After all, there was still the pressure left behind by that strange heart. Those unknown creatures would not dare to cause trouble after sensing this aura.
Furthermore, the high priest was very respectful to him, so it was even more impossible for the high priest to suspect anything. Ye Xuan had also explored the cave more or less in a short time, so he was more confident about their future actions.
Although he was confident that he could escape with Qian Yuan and Shen Changling, he couldn’t guarantee that the high priest wouldn’t come looking for them. Ye Xuan didn’t dare to take the risk.
As for the potential danger, he felt that it was better to eliminate it. This way, he would feel more at ease.
“I have an idea. Since the activation of the altar requires Qian Yuan’s blood, the reverse altar should also need it.”
Ye Xuan recalled those mysterious patterns and symbols, as well as all the strange scenes and phenomena from the past. They were all caused by the blood that flowed out under Qian Yuan’s control.
This proved that Qian Yuan’s blood should be the key or at least one of the links that must not be lacking.
Ye Xuan asked Qian Yuan about the situation at the time, “Did you feel anything else when you were on the altar?”
“I was controlled by the high priest at that time, and I can’t remember anything about that part of my memory. I only felt an inexplicable power that was constantly absorbing my blood.”
To Ye Xuan’s disappointment, Qian Yuan could only provide very few clues, but it was understandable. After all, Qian Yuan was being controlled at the time, so it was natural that he couldn’t remember.
However, the key point should be blood. Previously, the high priest and the others had also hunted many demonic beasts in order to achieve their goal.
But the most important thing was the incantation. Ye Xuan didn’t know how to open the reversal altar. Everything was presided over by the high priest, and it was not like they could let the high priest dig his own grave.
No matter how loyal and fanatical the high priest was to his ‘Master’, he would not do such a thing.
Besides, if Ye Xuan said he didn’t know, then there was a risk of being exposed. “It would be great if I knew how to open the altar…”
Ye Xuan blurted out those words subconsciously. Just as he was at his wits’ end, his heart suddenly twitched. He frowned and felt dizzy. It was as if someone had stuffed many things into his mind, making it so chaotic that he couldn’t see clearly.
At this moment, Ye Xuan’s senses were extremely strange. A mysterious feeling rushed into his heart, but it also carried a bit of danger.
Qian Yuan and Shen Changling noticed Ye Xuan’s change in expression and quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Elder Ye?”
However, Ye Xuan didn’t respond even after they called him a few times. His pupils gradually dilated, as if his soul had left his body. The two of them were scared out of their wits, thinking that something had happened.
But no matter how they shouted, Ye Xuan was like a wooden man, and in the end, he even used his spiritual power.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xuan finally broke free from that strange feeling, but he was met with Qian Yuan and Shen Changling’s extremely strange expressions.
Seeing that he was finally awake, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. “What happened to you just now? You scared us to death.”
Seeing the two’s slightly nervous expressions, Ye Xuan was a little baffled. In his opinion, he had only been lost in thought for a moment, but why did they look like they were facing a great enemy?
“I was just distracted for a moment. Why do both of you have such expressions on your faces?”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Qian Yuan and Shen Changling were even more confused. “It’s been two hours, and you said you were just distracted for a moment. You didn’t move just now, and no matter how we shouted, you didn’t respond. We almost thought something happened to you.”
It had to be said that Ye Xuan’s situation just now really looked like he was possessed.
After listening to Qian Yuan and Shen Changling’s recount of events, it was Ye Xuan’s turn to be surprised. He exclaimed, “What?!”
Seeing that Shen Changling and Qian Yuan didn’t seem to be joking, Ye Xuan scratched his head. “That’s strange. I felt like it was only a few seconds-”
He paused a little, and a strange sentence came out of his mouth, which made Qian Yuan and Shen Changling even more confused by Ye Xuan’s strange behavior.
“What is this?”
Ye Xuan was also very confused. This strange incantation had just appeared in his memory so suddenly. He was sure that this incantation had never appeared before and his behavior earlier was practically not like him.
It was as if the incantation had appeared after the strange occurrence.
The heart that was beating strangely gradually calmed down, as if it was just an illusion. Ye Xuan couldn’t resist touching the place where the heart was and could not help but think of that strange heart.
