The High Priest's expression was gloomy as he scanned the battlefield around him.
At that moment, the void had already been divided into several battlefields.
Among them, the High Priest, the corpse puppet formation, and the Blood River Saint Ancestor were engaged in combat, while the Great Protector and the Primordial Ancestral Dragon were locked in a fierce battle. Qin Chen had gone to rescue Sisi, and the Blade Demon Supreme and others were watching from a distance, not daring to join the fray. With their strength, once they entered the battlefield, a single misstep could lead to their annihilation.
The High Priest looked at Qin Chen in the distance. If Qin Chen were to enter the mirror world and rescue Sisi, all of her plans would be in vain.
“Even if I expose myself, there’s no other choice.”
Resolutely, the High Priest suddenly waved her hand.
Boom! A cold glint appeared in her eyes, and a black altar suddenly materialized in her hand. The altar was completely black, surrounded by waves of terrifying dark energy. As this dark energy spread, the altar rapidly expanded.
"That is..." In that moment, everyone was horrified to see that atop the altar, amidst the endless dark energy, there was a figure. This person was bound tightly by chains, and an endless dark energy was eroding his body.
It was an old man, with disheveled hair and blood all over, looking utterly miserable, like a corpse, yet within him surged an immense power.
"Great Elder!"
Seeing this old man, the Blade Demon Supreme and the others nearby were all filled with shock, their faces expressing disbelief.
This old man was none other than one of the three leaders of the Righteous Path Army, the Great Elder.
Once the most powerful figure within the Demon Tribe—Shadow Supreme.
However, the current state of the Great Elder was incredibly tragic. He knelt on the ground, his body bound by chains of darkness, countless dark energies continuously pouring into him, corroding his form. His gaze was hollow, as if completely devoid of consciousness.
But why was the Great Elder on this altar?
Moreover, the Great Elder’s appearance clearly indicated he was enduring endless torture.
"The High Priest…." Everyone turned to look at the High Priest.
The Blade Demon Supreme said sternly, “High Priest, what exactly is going on?
Why is the Great Elder in this state?
Wasn’t he and the Great Protector in closed-door cultivation?
How could this be…?” Over the years, the Great Protector and the Great Elder had never shown their faces. The High Priest had always claimed that they were in a deep cultivation state, only occasionally transmitting a decree from the River of the Origin of Demons, so the people of the Righteous Path Army had never doubted it.
But now, seeing the appearance of the Great Protector and the Great Elder, combined with the earlier statements from the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and others, if they still did not understand what had happened, they would be utterly foolish.
"How could this be…?"
"Why?"
Mo Wu, Luo Yin, Xuan Zhong, Yameng Supreme, and others, including the Void Supreme, looked at the High Priest in disbelief, unable to comprehend why she would do such a thing.
Betraying Princess Lianxin Luo, betraying the demon god lord, betraying the Demon Realm—what could be the reason for this?
"Hmph."
The High Priest coldly glanced at the Blade Demon Supreme and others, too lazy to explain.
Even though everything had been exposed today, the High Priest couldn't care less. At this moment, she was filled with curiosity about Qin Chen—who exactly was he?
She knew very well that the No Life Demon Realm had been sealed off by Yuanmo Ancestor, that old fellow was a presence that even made her feel apprehensive. Even controlling the entire Righteous Path Army to stop her, she could not claim to be Yuanmo Ancestor's opponent.
Thus, she had hidden here, attempting to obtain the legacy of Princess Lianxin Luo.
Previously, when Qin Chen appeared, she had regarded him as Yuanmo Ancestor's person because no one could breach the formation set by Yuanmo Ancestor.
