There is indeed a live broadcast happening on the Second Elder’s side, allowing all people of Holy City to see what’s going on.
In fact, the Second Elder was also helpless and felt forced to do so.
Despite smearing Hongye City, everyone believed their words.
In particular, because the Second Elder rarely appeared in front of people before, most ordinary citizens had no idea who he was.
In addition, those small families who have never been in contact with the upper echelons, warriors who’ve never joined the big forces, and even those two senior priests who were caught by Hongye City… they didn’t take the Second Elder seriously.
Even if he wants to be the High Priest, a High Priest who’s not recognized by the masses is useless.
Of course, the most important reason for live streaming is out of self-confidence. He wants to use this method to subdue everyone at once.
His self-confidence is obvious to all, and his ceremonial pomp only magnified the effect. Many people watching from the television felt that Holy City’s forces were much stronger than the other side!
“That bird chariot belongs to the High Priest! So the old man with the scepter is the new High Priest?”
“He looks quite old.”
“He’s the Second Elder of the Holy Temple before? So the Holy Temple still has elders!”
“The High Priest went missing? Or is it the High Elder?”
…
At this moment, ordinary people were still a little confused about the current situation.
Compared with ordinary people, those in Holy City who are somewhat powerful, but did not participate, paid more attention. “The Second Elder doesn’t look weak.”
“Hongye City captured two senior priests. I thought they might easily defeat the Second Elder, but now this doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“That’s not true. He must have enough self-confidence, which is why there’s a live broadcast.”
“I didn’t expect the Lu family to side with Hongye City. They have a lot of people…”
“The Lu family also asked me…”
“Those siding with the Lu family look a little flustered… Their decision was too hasty.”
…
In the Holy Temple, Liao Muye was also watching the live broadcast.
He is not a high-level warrior, and is not qualified to participate in such a battle, so he could only watch the livestream with some others who escaped from Hongye City to Holy City.
Liao Muye didn’t know much about the Second Elder, so since the start of the livestream, he focused on the Second Elder.
He was relieved to see the person in his memory that died young look so strong. Then, his eyes focused on Xie Yunnan.
Xie Yunnan stood beside Xie Qing, who was beside Lu Jingchen… These two people only know how to play tricks and deceive others, no matter in this life or his previous life!
They are Xie Yunnan’s parents! No wonder they’re so devoted to Xie Yunnan!
At this moment, Liao Muye suddenly regretted it a little.
If he followed the path of his previous life in this life, stayed with Xie Yunnan, and blocked the Liao family and Yan Yuge from bullying Xie Yunnan… Wouldn’t these people be his support?
He always thought his rebirth was an opportunity to call rain and beckon the wind. No one would look down at him then. But in fact, the ‘truth’ he knew wasn’t all of it!
No, he shouldn’t regret it. Liao Muye comforted himself, and looked at the TV again.
The Second Elder is very strong. Those people from Hongye City should not be able to beat the Second Elder; maybe Xie Yunnan and them will die today!
He watched carefully by the side, waiting to watch them die!
But if they die, what about him? Once he has no value, what will happen to him?
Dismissing the concerns from his head, Liao Muye gritted his teeth as he stared at the screen with his eyes bulging out.
The people around him glanced at him and couldn’t help shivering, feeling that his appearance was a bit terrifying.
At this time, the Second Elder finally made his move.
Duan Changqing realized what the scepter in the Second Elder’s hand was the moment the Second Elder moved.
It turned out to be a spiritual tool!
In his previous world of self-cultivation, many cultivators used spiritual tools, but after coming to this world, he hasn’t seen any tools, and felt there were none in this world.
The spiritual power here is thin, and it is difficult to forge spiritual tools.
But at the moment, the spiritual tool in the hands of the Second Elder does not look weak. When used, it strengthens the user and also pressures those that are weaker.
Everyone below the foundation building stage is considered weak.
That is to say, all ninth-level warriors present, as well as senior priests like Elder Bai, were uncomfortable under the pressure of the magic tool. Fortunately, the person using the tool isn’t too strong, so they were able to resist.
But those with lower strength were very uncomfortable, and some couldn’t breathe.
Of all the people, Duan Changqing was undoubtedly the most comfortable person. He looked at the spiritual tool in the hands of the Second Elder, and felt a little sympathy for the Second Elder. The original owner was just an ordinary person, so how could he become the High Priest?!
Before Wen Che appeared, he never thought that he might be the High Priest, because he knew just how weak the original owner was.
But if the original owner had such a spiritual tool, it would indeed be different.
Activating such a tool requires a lot of spiritual power. Even though the original owner is an ordinary person with no spiritual power in his body, he has spiritual marrow!
Relying on the spiritual marrow, he can activate this spiritual tool, so naturally he can become a powerful High Priest!
However, because the spiritual marrow is in the original main body, every time the original owner uses this spiritual tool, his body will be damaged under the impact of spiritual power… It is no wonder that this body was in terrible shape!
Thinking deeper, the High Priest’s position is passed down from generation to generation, with the spiritual marrow and this spiritual tool as inheritances, right?
These two things are actually good things. If a ninth-level warrior or a senior priest gets it, there is a certain probability that they can build their foundation.
According to Elder Bai, the first few High Priests should have reached such a stage, and some talented warriors were able to become god-level warriors.
However, with the passage of time, the High Priest’s lineage grew weaker and weaker. Unable to cultivate and control the spiritual tool, many were injured!
The original owner became a High Priest when he was a teenager. Because he was an ordinary person and very young, the situation was amplified.
In reality, even if the Second Elder didn’t rebel… if the original owner didn’t remove the spiritual marrow out of his body, he wouldn’t be able to live for long either!
As for the Second Elder…
The Second Elder didn’t know the original owner had spiritual marrow. After seizing the scepter, he was barely able to use it… at the cost of draining all the spiritual power in his body.
There was no news from the Second Elder before, likely because something went wrong in the process of him using this scepter.
And now… the Second Elder should have found a substitute for spiritual marrow, such as spiritual stones, to power the scepter.
Even though he can use it, using it too much is bad, and he might end up as dead as the original owner!
“The High Priest’s scepter is in his hand!”
“That scepter is so powerful!”
“Elder Bai, what are we going to do now?”
…
The people from Hongye City, the Lu family, and those who came to take refuge panicked after feeling the “power” of the Second Elder.
The rumors that the High Priest’s treasure was in Xie Yunnan’s hands… is clearly fake news!
The treasure of the High Priest is clearly in the hands of the Second Elder!
Ugh – I’m running out of chapters again… better get translating.
