The High Priest displayed an expression of immense surprise, as if she had no idea of Qin Chen's intentions at all.
Qin Chen frowned and said, "Don't you know?"
The High Priest glanced at the Blade Demon Supreme, then looked back at Qin Chen, furrowing her brows as she replied, "The Blade Demon Supreme did mention someone who claimed to be Sisi's husband and a successor of the human race's Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion, coming to our Righteous Path Army to find Sisi.
However, our Headquarters of the Righteous Path Army has already been sealed off by Yuanmo Ancestor, and outsiders cannot enter unless they are members of the Abyss Demon Tribe. Therefore, I do not believe what the Blade Demon Supreme has said. This visit was intended to expose the other party's conspiracy, but..." At this point, the High Priest paused and scrutinized Qin Chen, "The moves you executed earlier do bear some resemblance to the powers of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion. Could it be that you are truly a successor of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion?"
Qin Chen coldly laughed, "Is there still someone in this world who dares impersonate a successor of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion?"
Boom! A terrifying sword qi erupted from Qin Chen, slicing through the heavens.
The High Priest's gaze swept over Qin Chen repeatedly, and as she sensed the sword qi emanating from him, her expression changed slightly. "Heaven-Piercing Sword Qi, you truly are a successor of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion. In this world, only those from the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion can wield the Heaven-Piercing Sword Qi. Back when I followed Princess Lianxin Luo, I also visited your human race and even exchanged views with the senior sword ancestor of your Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion. I never expected to meet a successor of the sword ancestor today; it is truly..." The High Priest sighed, appearing melancholic, as if reminiscing about past times.
The High Priest murmured, "Back then, when Yuanmo Ancestor betrayed the universe and colluded with the Dark Clan to attack the human race, it shattered the heavenly realm, and the senior sword ancestor of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion fell heroically. I admire those legendary deeds greatly."
As she spoke, the High Priest let out a sigh and suddenly clasped her hands together, saying, "I am the High Priest and on behalf of the Righteous Path Army, I apologize for the earlier misunderstandings. I hope you can overlook past grievances and do not blame our Righteous Path Army.
For these years, we have lived in fear, as Yuanmo Ancestor harbors treachery and has consistently targeted our Righteous Path Army, leaving us like startled birds..." The High Priest's expression turned bitter. "Since you are from the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion, I do not wish for any conflict with you. I hope we can turn swords into plowshares and let this matter be resolved today. What do you think?"
Apologizing?
Qin Chen was taken aback.
What kind of game was this High Priest playing?
His brows slightly knitted together.
The High Priest had directly attacked him without giving him a chance to explain, and now she was taking the initiative to reconcile, which made Qin Chen feel a hint of suspicion.
What was the other party's true intention?
However, before Qin Chen could speak, the others, including Xuan Zhong, turned pale upon hearing the High Priest's words.
Quinan Supreme was the first to step forward, agitated. "High Priest, this person killed the Ghost Demon Supreme previously. How can our Righteous Path Army just let this go?"
"He killed the Ghost Demon Supreme?" The High Priest's expression changed slightly.
Boom! The High Priest suddenly made her move, and in the void, invisible forces began to rewind. Vaguely, scenes of the battle where Qin Chen had slain the Ghost Demon Supreme began to appear.
"Time reversal?" Qin Chen gasped, furrowing his brows.
"Qin Chen, this is not time reversal, but a manifestation of a certain essence of time, a special display of the time rules' divine ability," the voice of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon echoed in his mind.
