Shen Changling was not the only one who thought so. Ye Xuan thought so as well. However, Qian Yuan remained motionless on the altar and no signal was sent.

“Qian Yuan sent me a message. He told us to be patient and wait for him to find out the truth. But now, no matter how I try to contact him, he is not responding. It’s really strange.”

Ye Xuan tried to call out to Qian Yuan a few times, but it was as though he was yelling into the void. There was no response. Looking at Qian Yuan’s stiff body, his heart suddenly sank.

This was not good!

!!

Could it be that Qian Yuan had fallen under the spell of the altar?

The air suddenly became deathly still. It had become extremely quiet. All the noise that had caused people to clamor had vanished.

“Elder Ye!”

Ye Xuan heard Shen Changling’s voice and his consciousness was finally pulled back to reality. Due to fear, even Shen Changling’s voice had become distorted.

“What’s the matter?”

“Look around us.”

Shen Changling’s face was filled with fear and his eyes were wide open as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. Ye Xuan followed his gaze.

They met the lifeless eyes of countless humanoid creatures, who were all looking at them!

These creatures kept staring at Ye Xuan and Shen Changling. They didn’t have any facial features, but the latter felt creepy gazes that sent chills down their backs.

The sinister gazes were like gusts of cold wind, causing Ye Xuan to subconsciously shiver as his heart stopped beating.

Oh no, they had been discovered!

The humanoid creatures surrounded them from all directions. They had nowhere to run.

Ye Xuan and Shen Changling could only retreat towards the altar, even though they knew there was an even bigger enemy waiting for them there.

“Well, well, well. There’s actually such a big surprise in this sacrifice. This is simply a gift from the heavens.”

The high priest’s emotionless voice came from above.

Ye Xuan stared at the black shadow not far away and said, “You have noticed us for a while.”

Qian Yuan remained motionless. Ye Xuan noticed that his eyes were tightly closed and his face was twisted in pain. He didn’t know what the high priest did to make him end up like this.

Perhaps this strange altar was one of the causes. After all, Qian Yuan had said that the closer he got to this altar, the more his power was suppressed. Otherwise, how could he have fallen so easily to the priest’s spell?

“It was the Master who let me discover your existence.”

Shen Changling’s expression was unfriendly. He spat to the side and chided, “Don’t try to be mysterious here.”

A pair of withered branch-like hands reached out from under the high priest’s black robes. Even Ye Xuan was a little shocked.

Rather than hands, they were more like bones. Shriveled skin wrapped around the bones, without any flesh or blood, as if something had sucked all of vitality from them.

“Are you a human or a ghost?”

Ye Xuan looked at the man in front of him warily. He was obviously different from those humanoid creatures. He actually had a physical existence, but Ye Xuan couldn’t sense any cultivation coming from him, which was really strange.

The high priest pointed at Qian Yuan and said something that did not make any sense. He said, “The smell of the blood of an old friend is really nostalgic. I thought I would never be able to smell it again after 1000 years.”

However, the information revealed by this sentence made Ye Xuan and Shen Changling’s hair stand on end.

After 1000 years! Could it be that the high priest in front of them was an old monster who had lived for nearly 1000 years?

Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned serious. Qian Yuan had received Long Zhan’s inheritance, so he was able to get rid of the impurities in his bloodline and evolve from a flood dragon to a true dragon.

The old acquaintance that the high priest was talking about should be Long Zhan. After all, Qian Yuan and Long Zhan had a deep connection. He had also completely absorbed the Dragon Pearl that Long Zhan left behind. He could be considered Long Zhan’s direct descendant.

“Could it be that you know Senior Long Zhan?”

The high priest burst out with a strange laugh. He mumbled, “Long Zhan…” His tone was somewhat nostalgic, as if he had fallen into some memory.

It then became extremely cold as he continued, “I wish I could skin him alive and pull out his dragon tendons. If it wasn’t for him, as well as his master, opposing us time and time again, our master would have conquered the entire continent.”

The viciousness in the high priest’s words made them shudder. At the same time, it proved that he really knew Long Zhan and there was a great enmity between them.

“I never expected that you ants actually knew Long Zhan’s name too. Looks like this thing told you quite a lot.”

The high priest calmed down, but his gaze ate away at Ye Xuan like maggots in tarsal bones. The latter felt as if countless steel needles had pierced into his body.

“It’s not strange. After all, you’ve been with this dragon for some time, so you should know some things. Maybe even the death of that bone dragon was your doing.”

This high priest actually knew about the existence of the bone dragon!

As if he knew what Ye Xuan was thinking, the high priest’s laughter echoed above the altar.

“How would I not know about it? After all, it was our meticulous masterpiece. It wasn’t easy to choose a place with good feng shui for Long Zhan. Even after he died, I did not want him to have peace!”

The malice in the high priest’s voice was simply frightening.

“Didn’t he abhor evil as if it was his enemy and proclaimed himself to be righteous? If his bones wreaked havoc after his death and brought harm to the common people, how hilarious would that be? That day was about to come, and the time was ripe, but…”

The high priest did not finish his sentence. He only stared coldly at Qian Yuan, wishing he could peel the latter’s skin off his body.
