Chapter 129: High Priest: Why Did You Kill Me?

Chen Kun wiped the King’s Arrival Sword and looked at the head of the high priest who was still breathing not far away.The High Priest’s eyes were filled with confusion. Because of his powerful strength, he could still speak at this moment.

“W-why?”

“What’s wrong with killing you for joy?”

Chen Kun smiled as if he had never taken the high priest seriously.

The high priest wanted to say something, but he died before he could say anything.

He died with remaining grievances.

Chen Kun kicked the high priest’s head away, his eyes filled with coldness.

The reason why he killed the high priest was naturally not because he was happy.

It was because Chen Kun understood a principle.

Why did the high priest summon the Demon King?

Could it really be for the Demon King?

Was he a believer of the Demon King?

As long as it was a Demon King, he could even throw away his life?

This was definitely impossible.

Chen Kun had tried this from the beginning.

He asked the high priest to commit suicide, but he did not.

This seemed to be a joke.

Actually, it was Chen Kun’s test for the high priest. If the high priest had made a prompt decision and prepared to commit suicide,

Chen Kun would spare the high priest’s life.

However, he did not.

Instead, he hesitated and looked up at Chen Kun.

It was also at that time that Chen Kun understood.

The high priest might have faith in the Demon King.

However, it was definitely not for the Demon King.

Instead, it was faith in the Demon King’s strength.

The high priest believed in the Demon King because of his strength.

And strength could bring benefits to the high priest himself.

Chen Kun happened to not have this.

Chen Kun did not have what the high priest needed and valued the most.

Then how could he guarantee that the high priest would not betray him?

No.

To be precise, it was not that he could not guarantee that the high priest would not betray him.

It was because the high priest would definitely not be loyal to him.

The high priest could become a traitor like the two of them at any time.

It would be even worse!

After all, Chen Kun did not have the means to control the crowd control the duo like the high priest.

Even if the high priest had such methods, he was still seriously injured by the hooded duo.

Not to mention him.

Hence, Chen Kun did not feel any heartache killing the high priest at all.

The high priest was not a help to Chen Kun, but a potential threat!

Chen Kun seemed to have gained nothing on this trip. The three subordinates who could have been in his pocket were all dead now.

Chen Kun also did not do the mission of changing profession for the Boss template.

Chen Kun clicked on the mission for changing profession interface with a hint of melancholy. Just as he was about to see where was more suitable, Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Wow!”

“What’s going on!”

Chen Kun widened his eyes and looked at the notification that the mission had been completed 100%!

What was going on?

He didn’t do the mission for changing profession!

Wasn’t it less than 10% completed previously?

Why was it all done now?

[The Repentance of All Life!]

[As the Demon King, how can I not make all living beings repent?]

He had indeed made them repent previously, but that was in Shukui’s mission.

The three of them insisted on going to the ground because they did not listen to his advice and were killed by Shukui.

Then, their regret gave him some improvements.

It was still a 1% increase from each one of them.

But now, he didn’t seem to have done anything, right?

Why did it improve so much all of a sudden?

Chen Kun looked at the headless high priest, the hooded duo whose flesh had been sucked dry, and Yin Qing, who was not even ashes.

Could it be because these people were stronger?

So when regret arose, there was more improvement?

After thinking about it, Chen Kun could not think of a more reasonable reason.

However, it did not matter much to Chen Kun.

As long as the mission was completed!

***

After walking out of the Level 5 Crevice, Chen Kun looked at the sky outside and sighed.

I seem to have forgotten something?

***

The heavily injured people under the altar began to recover. They bared their teeth and wailed.

One of the fatties had been sucked into a thin man. However, because he was big, he could still speak.

“Did he forget about us?”

“What… what… do you mean?”

The fatty covered his wound and leaned against the wall.

“I remember that someone saved us, but I don’t know where that person is now.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just remember being knocked unconscious and waking up here.”

One of them was a healer-type girl. She released her skills as she spoke,

“Who brought us here? Why are we covered in injuries now?”

One of them woke up. As the healer girl released her skill, everyone began to wake up.

They were all talking at once.

In the end, they concluded that they did not know where they were or how to get out.

As for forgetting those people in the crevice, Chen Kun waited until it was time to sleep at night.

Chen Kun slapped his head and came to a realization.

“Aiyaya, I was wondering what I seemed to have forgotten. It turns out that I’ve forgotten about them!”

“But they should be fine, right? Although they’re hundreds of meters underground, they’re Diamond-level experts after all. There’s no reason for them not to survive, right?”

At the thought of this, Chen Kun covered the blanket again.

***

“F*ck! F*ck! Finally, finally. We’re out!”

“Woo, woo, woo!”

In the desert canyon deep in the Level 5 Crevice, several thin people who looked like they were malnourished crawled out of the cave.

After they came out, the first thing they did was hug and cry.

Although they were all Diamond-level experts and logically speaking, they should not be in such a sorry state,

they were diamond-level experts who had been sucked dry.

Although they did not have to eat after reaching the Diamond-level,

their energy was sucked dry, and eating was the process of replenishing energy.

And when their energy was sucked dry, their bodies would feel hungry.

If it were anywhere else, they could also help themselves recover by absorbing magic power.

However, they did not know that the magic power of this Level 5 Crevice was almost exhausted because the high priest wanted to summon the Demon King.

At the very least, they could not recover in the short term.

The amount of magic power they could absorb was pitifully little!

It was completely not enough. It could only make them not die, but it could not let them recover.

Hence, they remained hungry and kept digging with their hands!

No one knew how long they had been digging underground!

They themselves did not know.

As Diamond-level experts, they had suffered all kinds of hardships.

However, they had never suffered like this before!

However, after this battle, their relationship also rose!

They even decided to establish a guild for them!

It was for no reason other than to commemorate their relationship of digging together!
