Chapter 2339 - 2339 High Priest!

2339 High Priest!

Lan Xiao cursed under his breath and attacked again. But this time, the black whip was faster than him!

Slap!

A b.l.o.o.d.y wound instantly appeared on Lan Xiao’s face! The wound was an inch long and instantly destroyed half of his face!

Chu Liuyue’s heart instantly seemed to be tightly gripped by something. Lan Xiao usually pays the most attention to his appearance, especially his current face. It wasn’t easy for him to reconstruct his Holy Body to recover. Just like that, in front of so many people… The blow to him is self-evident.

Lan Xiao turned his head to the side and didn’t move for a long time.

The onlookers in front of the bronze mirror subconsciously held their breaths. Even though that blow didn’t hit them, it still sent a chill down their spines when they watched it through a mirror.

If this landed on them…

After a long time, Lan Xiao finally raised his hand and touched the wound on his face. It was extremely painful and sticky.

The smile on his face gradually froze.

Of course, he knew why the other party wanted to do this. The latter just wanted to humiliate and trample on him in the most intense way.

Knowing what he cared about the most, he deliberately destroyed it! There was nothing more painful than this.

Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth as a layer of coldness enveloped her. It took a lot of effort for her to resist the urge to rush forward. What kind of hatred does the Divine Master of Fantasy Divine Hall have for Lan Xiao to deal with him in such a way? He clearly wants Lan Xiao to suffer a fate worse than death!

At this moment, a low and hoa.r.s.e voice came from the mirror. “These three lashes are to discipline you.”

This voice seemed to come from an extremely distant and empty place. Every word was sacred and oppressive!

Chu Liuyue widened her eyes in shock. This voice is clearly the owner of that eye—

Right on the heels of that, everyone’s uniform response came from behind her. “Greetings, Divine Master!”

In an instant, it was like a thunderbolt exploded in her ears, shocking Chu Liuyue! Divine Master… Divine Master?!

She had long thought that the owner of that eye should have a rather close relations.h.i.+p with Fantasy Divine Hall. Otherwise, the apparition of Fantasy Divine Hall wouldn’t have appeared in the Red Moon Desert.

The owner of that eye had only chosen to attack after luring them in.

However, Chu Liuyue didn’t expect that person to be the person with the highest status in Fantasy Divine Hall. He was also the true ruler of Fantasy Divine Hall!

For a moment, Chu Liuyue’s heart was in a mess.

Countless thoughts were overturned at this moment, and countless guesses surged out one after another, filling her mind and making her extremely confused.

She took a light breath.

Compared to the last time they met in the Red Moon Desert, the voice this time was actually a little different. It was less sinister and cold, more sacred and dignified.

When one heard it suddenly, it was extremely easy to admire and be willing to submit.

Lan Xiao sneered. “Discipline? Discipline just because you say so? Who gave you the right?!”

Everyone present gasped. This person is so arrogant. How dare he speak to the Divine Master like this?!

However, Xiao Ran seemed to have suddenly thought of something and stared suspiciously at the person in the mirror. “Hiss… It can’t be…”

Hearing his voice, Chu Liuyue turned around and glanced at him.

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his expression. “Senior Xiao Ran, do you… know him?”

Her voice was very low, but everyone was standing very close to her, so many people heard her.

Many people looked over.

Xiao Ran looked conflicted. “This… I’m not too sure either. I just feel that this person looks a little familiar…”

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. This is the first time I have officially seen Lan Xiao’s face. Why does Xiao Ran find him familiar? He is a Xuan Master, and he couldn’t have imagined such a thing.

“What do you mean?” Chu Liuyue asked.

Xiao Ran paused and hesitated for a long time before saying, “This person seems… a little like the Second Priest…”

“Second Priest?” Chu Liuyue subconsciously asked. “Who is that?”

Xiao Ran pursed his lips. It was obvious that he didn’t want to mention this too much.

This was the first time Chu Liuyue saw such a worried expression on his face.

Someone in the crowd suddenly remarked in surprise, “Second Priest?! Could it be the one who betrayed the Divine Master back then?”

Clearly, Xiao Ran wasn’t the only one who had heard of this name.

The crowd stirred.

Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and said, “Back then, besides the Divine Master and the various deities, there were also two high priests. Because these two were indebted to the Divine Master for teaching them, their status was even higher than the First Deity. But back then, the two high priests joined forces with the red-gold heavenly phoenix ancestor for some reason and defected from Fantasy Divine Hall. I thought that the two high priests should’ve died in that chaotic battle, but who knew…”

He sighed. “In the battle back then, countless cultivators in Fantasy Divine Palace suffered heavy casualties. Even the various deities died at that time—”

“What?!” Chu Liuyue was shocked. “All the deities have fallen? Then, those now—”

“They were chosen by the Divine Master later,” Xiao Ran answered.

That battle was very intense. At that time, he was young and was lucky to escape; he had only seen it from afar.

However, tens of thousands of years had pa.s.sed, and he could no longer remember what happened back then. Therefore, after Lan Xiao appeared, he didn’t recognize him immediately.

Instead, when he heard this voice, he recalled the sealed past in the depths of his memory.

At that time, this Second Priest was also so arrogant and presumptuous.

At that time, there weren’t many people left in Fantasy Divine Palace. Later on, the higher-ups ordered not to publicize these things. No one dared to mention it again, and fewer and fewer people knew.

Coincidentally, Xiao Ran was one of them.

Chu Liuyue’s temples throbbed, and the blood in her body almost boiled. She opened her mouth and asked, “Then… what about the other priest?”

“You mean the High Priest?”

Xiao Ran frowned and thought about it carefully for a long time before shaking his head. “That person made the same choice as the Second Priest back then. Since the Second Priest is still alive, then… perhaps the High Priest is as well… I just don’t know why the Divine Master didn’t kill the two priests directly after they committed such a crime. Instead, he kept them alive until now before suddenly letting them out?”

The High Priest…

High Priest!

Something seemed to be surging wildly in Chu Liuyue’s heart. She restrained herself with all her might and asked softly, “Senior Xiao Ran, do you know the High Priest’s name?”

Xiao Ran shook his head. “Who were the two priests back then? How would I know this?”

Chu Liuyue refused to give up. “Then… What about his appearance? Since you’ve seen the Second Priest, you should know the High Priest, right?”

“This…” Xiao Ran thought for a moment. “I can’t remember anything else. I only remember that the High Priest wears the Purple-Gold Divine Armor and has peerless divine might!”
