Chapter 2795: Chapter 2796: Might of the High Priest

Although the Sect Masters were slightly angry, they did not dare to offend the Great General and walked over one by one.

Soon, these Sect Masters returned to their respective sects’ forces with an unpleasant expression.

What the Great General said to them was naturally unknown to others! However, afterward, the disciples of those sects started moving and returned to their original areas, beginning to excavate there.

And the elite soldiers around them still guarded the boundary.

Everyone understood; the Great General indeed wanted the disciples of these forces to continue excavating this rock!

This Great General truly has an imposing manner, daring to treat these super sects in such a way – probably no one else could do it besides him.

However, at this moment, no one laughed at these sects, for if another sect were in their place, the outcome might be even more tragic.

At this time, the ancestor called Mo Yu and Nameless to the side.

Instantly, Nameless and Mo Yu became somewhat nervous, as it seemed the ancestor intended to take action against them.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Ye Luo?" the ancestor suddenly asked softly.

Both of them stared at the ancestor in astonishment, not expecting him to inquire about Ye Luo’s whereabouts!

"Don’t tell me he’s in seclusion; I’ve already investigated, and he’s not on Mount Wudang!" the ancestor said in a deep voice.

"Well, we truly don’t know where he is!" Nameless could only reply honestly.

The ancestor was silent for a moment, then sighed. Suddenly, his expression changed dramatically, and Nameless and Mo Yu also realized something and turned their heads.

Subsequently, an old man slowly walked over from the side of the punitive expedition.

"It’s the High Priest!" Nameless’s face changed immediately.

Whenever the King of Huainan marched in battle, he was always accompanied by a High Priest, who was the true powerhouse in the army and possessed unpredictable abilities.

Now that this old man was present, even the ancestor had to give way.

"Great Commander, you have disappointed our king’s expectations!" the High Priest looked at Nameless and sighed.

"Hmph, what do you want now? Just say it!" Nameless decided to go all out.

"What? You know what happens to those who betray the King of Huainan!"

After speaking, he thrust a sword towards Nameless. Even though he wasn’t a Sword Cultivator, he had comprehended a trace of the Sword Dao. The power of this sword was extraordinary! Combined with his higher realm, slightly stronger than the ancestor, how could Nameless resist?

Moreover, this sword completely enveloped Mo Yu, blocking all their chances of survival.

If no one intervened, this would undoubtedly be a deadly strike.

"Friend, what’s the rush?" the ancestor sighed and could only throw a punch.

Nameless and Mo Yu were naturally very important to the Dihuang Sect, and the old man couldn’t be allowed to kill them.

With a muffled sound, a wave of air suddenly exploded above the crowd, but in the next moment, an opening to a mysterious space opened, swallowing this blast of violent power.

Clearly, the High Priest had anticipated the ancestor’s move, and the space was already prepared!

If the energy wasn’t swallowed by the space immediately, the soldiers below would suffer heavy losses.

However, the ancestor’s face grew solemn. Only now did he realize the terrifying nature of this High Priest!

Although he hadn’t truly stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm, his power was much higher than the ancestor’s!

Coupled with the formation of tens of thousands, it was possible to seriously injure or even kill the ancestor!

"Now, do you still want to stop me?" the High Priest looked at the ancestor domineeringly, evidently harboring murderous intent.

At this moment, two more figures appeared beside the High Priest. They were also old men, weaker than the ancestor but not by much!

It was said that the King of Huainan was known for his military might, but to casually dispatch three cultivators close to the Martial Emperor Realm was truly terrifying.

However, on reflection, it was not surprising. Being able to contend with the Demon God’s Hall for so many years without falling behind, it would be impossible without powerful figures holding the line.

"I’ll hold this old undead one back; you two eliminate them for me!" the High Priest said coldly.

In the army, the highest authority was actually not the Great General, but the High Priest! However, the High Priest rarely dealt with mundane matters and only took action at moments of life and death for the army!

It’s just unknown why, when Nameless set out on an expedition, he wasn’t accompanied by a High Priest, even though an army of over ten thousand was supposed to have a High Priest.

After hearing this, the two old men immediately lunged at Nameless and Mo Yu.

The ancestor looked at the High Priest with a wry smile. Although the High Priest wouldn’t be able to harm him for the time being, taking action was completely meaningless! Thus, he chose to remain inactive!

If Nameless and Mo Yu were indeed killed, it would just be their bad luck! The ancestor thought to himself.

In just a few rounds, Nameless and Mo Yu were already struggling.

Especially Mo Yu, who already had the idea of using the Crown Prince Token, but if that token caught the High Priest’s attention, what then?

While she hesitated, the Crown Prince Token suddenly flew out of her bosom, and this scene shocked her so much that she almost jumped up! Nameless was also dumbfounded!

How could the Crown Prince Token fly out on its own! And that was their last means of survival! Now that it had flown out, didn’t it mean they were as good as dead?

Subsequently, the Crown Prince Token fell into the hands of the High Priest.

"This token is quite ingenious. Not bad, I must study it carefully later!" Wei Wei nodded, and the High Priest actually put the Crown Prince Token away.

Seeing this, Mo Yu and Nameless were instantly ashen-faced.

"Go die!"

An Elder’s eyes gleamed fiercely, and with a palm strike aimed at Mo Yu.

Her power compared to this old man was vastly inferior. Having lost the Crown Prince Token, her fighting spirit diminished significantly. Now, how could she resist this palm strike? She had already resigned to her fate, accepting death, as there was no point in struggling any longer.

However, at this moment, a sword light flashed like a celestial star, and this sword light enlarged continuously in the Elder’s eyes.

"Not good!"

The Elder retreated rapidly, but he was still too slow!

A Sword Qi rapidly rampaged within his body, and in a split second, his flesh exploded completely!

This was the same scene as when the Great General killed the Elder before!

However, this Elder was far more formidable than that Elder! He was a renowned strongman under the King of Huainan.

Just one step away from reaching the pinnacle of the Martial Emperor Realm, yet his flesh exploded just like that.

In a flash, the Elder’s broken flesh rapidly reassembled and then retreated rapidly by several steps!

Though he hadn’t reached the Martial Emperor Realm, he already possessed some of its abilities, such as regenerating flesh and, when damaged, quickly rejuvenating using the Origin Source.

Of course, this consumed a significant amount of Origin Power, greatly impacting the realm and the foundation.
