Chen Sisi ignored the old woman in front of her, remaining silent.
The old woman snorted coldly, "Hmph, how long do you think you can hold out like this? That shameless woman has been dead for so many years. A fragment of her soul lured you here, all to have you inherit her legacy and block the invasion of the Abyss Demon Tribe. But can she really withstand the invasion of the Abyss Demon Tribe?"
"Her life was filled with pain, yet she even used her divine ability to bring you from the human race, forcing you to endure the suffering she once bore. Ridiculous, do you think she did it for you? No, she did it for her own selfish desires."
The High Priest spoke with a sinister glare, her face filled with resentment.
Chen Sisi finally glanced at the High Priest and said coldly, "No matter what, Master was once your master. How can you treat her like this? How are you any better?"
At this moment, Sisi's body trembled continuously, clearly in immense pain from the dual assault of dark power and primordial power, yet her voice remained calm.
What kind of enormous willpower did this require?
"Hahaha, once my master? She deserves it," the High Priest spat, filled with bitterness. "Back then, I was also one of the top talents in the Demon Realm. To say I was not much worse than the Yuanmo Ancestor of the Abyss Demon Tribe would not be an exaggeration. But for the sake of Refined Heart Luo being the Demon God Princess, I willingly abandoned my noble status to follow her. Do you really think I was so lowly that I wanted to serve others?"
"No, I followed her hoping she would recognize my diligence and pass on some of the demon god lord's teachings to me. After all, the demon god lord was rumored to be a master who transcended this universe, but what about her?"
The High Priest's expression grew increasingly sinister. "It was fine while she was alive, but after all these years of following her, even after her death, I was willing to inherit her legacy and establish the Righteous Path Army to fight against the Yuanmo Ancestor. But that beast, that shameless woman, chose to pass the inheritance to you, an outsider, instead of me. Why should I still serve her? Tell me why?"
The High Priest began to shriek hysterically.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Evil, cold energy erupted from her body, crashing wildly like a vengeful spirit.
"Tell me honestly, have I wronged her? No, it is she who has wronged me!" the High Priest roared.
Chen Sisi shook her head slightly, "Your intentions have never been pure since the beginning. Do you think Master, with her intelligence, couldn't see through you? She saw through your intentions long ago, but she didn’t expose you; instead, she continued to trust you, hoping to give you another chance!"
"But what about you? After Master transcended, you pretended to inherit her legacy to fight against the Yuanmo Ancestor, while in reality, you were always trying to take everything from her for your own strength, even secretly contacting the Dark Clan."
"Actually, your resistance against the Yuanmo Ancestor was not for Master, nor for the countless lives in this universe, but for transcendence, for yourself, for the opportunity to dominate in collusion with the Dark Clan. Do you think Master couldn't see through that?"
"In fact, Master had already given you a chance. As long as you truly cared for this universe and were willing to fight against the Dark Clan, she would have given you everything. But you betrayed her. Not only did you fail to safeguard this universe, but you even secretly colluded with the Dark Clan, practicing their techniques... You have truly disappointed Master. She had no choice but to choose me."
Chen Sisi looked at the High Priest with pity.
In her eyes, the High Priest was nothing but a pitiful creature, having lost herself in the pursuit of transcendence from the very beginning. Her motives and intentions were impure, naturally never earning Master’s complete trust.
"Why do you look at me with such eyes?"
The High Priest was deeply provoked by Chen Sisi's gaze, screaming hysterically, "Do you think you are so lucky? Hahaha, brought here by that shameless woman just because she is about to collapse, she could only bring you here to guard in her place. You are merely her puppet, just a pitiful creature. No, you are even more pitiful than I am."
