“High Priest, according to your instructions, all the people of the Lieyang tribe have been brought here.”
Outside the temple, Tushan Mang bowed and reported.
He and Tushan Cangyue were both from the Tushan family, and they were siblings. However, since Tushan Cangyue became the High Priest of the Qingshan Temple, their identities and positions had changed greatly.
The High Priest of the temple was the spokesperson of the Qingshan Great God in the human world. All the power and authority she exercised represented the will of the Great God.
Even siblings had to abide by the rules and couldn’t overstep the boundaries.
Whoosh!
As Tushan Mang’s voice fell, a holy and cold figure walked out of the temple. She was wearing a snow-white High Priest robe, and every movement of hers was majestic. She was high and mighty, simply inviolable.
“So this is the High Priest of Qingshan? She is indeed terrifying…”
Zhu Qingyue was shocked.
Under Tushan Cangyue’s gaze, she felt humble and insignificant. She felt as if she had been seen through, and she had no secrets to speak of. Even her soul could not help but tremble.
The High Priest of Qingshan was the person closest to the Qingshan Great God. Her order was the will of the Qingshan Great God. She represented the majesty of God!
“Greetings, High Priest!”
“Greetings, High Priest!”
“Greetings, High Priest!”
When Tushan Cangyue appeared, Tushan Mang and the other divine servants immediately bowed respectfully. Their expressions were pious.
“Everyone, get up.”
Her cold voice was devoid of any emotion.
Hearing this, only then did everyone slowly stand up. Every one of them had a solemn expression and did not dare to say anything.
Whoosh!
Tushang Cangyue’s gaze swept across those present and finally stopped on Zhu Huang, who was in the crowd. A strange light flashed across her eyes.
“Zhu Huang, are you willing to worship the Qingshan Great God and become his subject?”
“Bah! Don’t even think about it! I, Zhu Huang, believe in the Sun God that my tribe has always believed in! You want me to change my faith? It’s impossible! 1 would rather die than submit!” Zhu 1 luang roared. His face was filled with malevolence.
Seeing this, Tushan Cangyue nodded, her expression as unperturbed as ever.
“I see. Since that’s the case, we can’t force it. Someone, send a member of the Lieyang tribe back. Tell the Lieyang tribe that if they want their leader to live, they have to exchange treasures and resources for him. Give them three days. If the members of the Lieyang tribe don’t show up after three days or don’t hand over the treasures and resources as requested, we will publicly execute Zhu Huang and the others. Those who offend the Qingshan tribe will be punished by God.”
Tushan Cangyue ordered.
“Yes.”
A divine servant bowed in response.
Soon after, under the watchful eyes of Wu Huan, Zhu Qingyue, and the others, the divine servant brought one of the Lieyang tribe’s tribesmen away and steered the spiritual boat into the sky.
“Lieyang tribe’s Leader Zhu Huang has offended the Qingshan tribe and must be punished. For the next three days, seal his cultivation and make him participate in the repair of the temple.”
“Yes!”
Tushan Mang waved his hand. Immediately, divine servants came over and took Zhu Huang and the others away.
Whoosh!
After they left, Tushan Cangyue turned to Wu Huan and Zhu Qingyue.
Sensing Tushan Cangyue’s gaze, both of them were filled with panic and nervousness.
“Wu Huan, from now on, you will stay in the Qingshan tribe. Since you’ve received the Divine Baptism of the Great God, you’re also considered a subject of the Great God. Naturally, you’re a part of the Qingshan tribe. As long as you sincerely believe in the Great God, you’ll be blessed with good fortune.”
Her cold voice slowly sounded.
Hearing this, Wu Huan was overjoyed.
“Thank you, High Priest!”
Thump!
He knelt on the ground devoutly and kowtowed.
“As for Zhu Qingyue, since she has already accepted you and acknowledged you as her husband, then she shall stay as well. However, the Qingshan tribe does not tolerate heretics. If you want to stay here, you must have a firm and devout faith,” Tushan Cangyue said indifferently.
Hearing this, Wu Huan and Zhu Qingyue were shocked. They naturally understood the meaning behind her words.
“High Priest, 1 am willing to believe in the Qingshan Great God and will never betray Him,” Zhu Qingyue kowtowed.
Tushan Cangyue didn’t respond.
“High Priest, umm… Can I join the Qingshan Divine Guards? I would also like to expand the territory for the Great God and offer my strength. Please grant my wish, High Priest!”
At this moment, Wu Huan plucked up his courage and kowtowed again.
Hearing this, Tushan Cangyue’s cold eyes fell on him.
“The Great God has his plans for you.”
After saying this softly, Tushan Cangyue turned around and stepped into the temple.
Only Wu Huan was left kneeling in a daze.
“Qingyue, what do you think the High Priest means?”
He looked at Zhu Qingyue in confusion.
“Hmm… Does the High Priest mean that we still need the approval of the Qingshan Great God? Or perhaps, the High Priest doesn’t think you’re suitable for the Qingshan Divine Guards, and has other plans? 1 guess it should be the latter.”
Zhu Qingyue pondered and said.
Hearing this, Wu Huan nodded as if he was deep in thought. A glimmer of anticipation flashed across his eyes.
“In the Qingshan tribe, the only person we can rely on is the Qingshan Great God. Qingyue, 1 think it won’t be long before the Lieyang tribe will become the Great God’s subjects. The Qingshan Great God’s divine might and will are definitely not something they can resist. In fact, it’s not only the Lieyang tribe. The Leishan tribe is the same. In the end, all will be under the rule of the Great God.”
Wu Huan frowned.
Zhu Qingyue didn’t say anything, but the worry in her eyes became even more intense.
…
Lin Wudao was not in the mood to pay attention to what was happening in the Qingshan tribe.
At this moment, he had already followed Wu Tianjue into the Spirit Ruins.
Whoosh!
Sweeping God’s Spiritual Eye over, he discovered that the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the Spirit Ruins was extremely chaotic and violent. There was even some kind of evil substance mixed within.
The world of the Spirit Ruins was dark. There were boundless ferocious auras rising, great terrors intertwining, and many evils gathering in the dark.
Everything was eerie and unpredictable.
Even though Lin Wudao had God’s Spiritual Eye, for a moment, he couldn’t see everything clearly.
“The spine of the ancient black dragon that Tushan Cangyue picked up in the past was obviously from the Spirit Ruins. The black dragon must be buried there. I just wonder where the burial place is,” Lin Wudao pondered.
As he walked, he kept an eye on the Spirit Ruins.
Fortunately, the sky was not dark yet, and everything was normal.
Whoosh!
After some time, Wu Tianjue followed the ancient and mysterious map in his hand and finally found the legendary Immemorial Divine Well in a dead city.
“There’s actually a city in the Spirit Ruins? The ancestral land of the night demon race?”
Lin Wudao scanned the area with God’s Spiritual Eye and discovered some unusual information.
The Spirit Ruins was once the ancestral land of the night demon race.
However, as time passed, the land had gone through countless changes. The night demon race of the past had also disappeared.
God knows if they had gone to another place or if they had already gone extinct.
Curious, Lin Wudao followed Wu Tianjue to the Immemorial Divine Well as he observed the ruined Night Demon City.
The Immemorial Divine Well was located in the center of the Night Demon City.
Although it had been eroded for countless years, it was still well-preserved. The Immemorial Divine Well was cold and pitch-black. At a glance, it seemed to be exuding some kind of mysterious magic power that was constantly attracting living beings to go over.
Whoosh!
Just as Lin Wudao and Wu Tianjue were sizing up their surroundings, a mysterious figure suddenly rushed out of the ruins in the distance.
After arriving at the Immemorial Divine Well, the figure hesitated for a moment before jumping in.
“That person… is a little unusual.”
Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.
Although it was just a glance, God’s Spiritual Eye’s feedback allowed him to learn some information about that person.
The other party was called Xie Wuyou. He was an emissary of an evil God..
