Jingni, mounted on her horse, turned to look at Cao Ze, "Are we just leaving like this? What about Lord Chang'an and Nian Duan?"
Cao Ze stretched on his horse.
“It’s not good for Master Nian Duan to follow us. As for Brother Cheng Jiao, he and Empress Dowager Hua Yang are both members of the Qin royal family, so he is much safer than us.”
He was the mastermind, and as long as Cheng Jiao didn't lie, Xiang Yan and the others wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Jingni nodded, then suddenly paused, dismounted, and lay on the ground, hearing the earth tremble.
"Someone is catching up."
Cao Ze chuckled, "Then let's go!"
He's not bragging, but unless Xiang Yan has the ability to mobilize troops across the country, it's a pipe dream to try and encircle and annihilate him and Jing Ni!
Suddenly, a majestic eagle with outstretched wings swept past in the distance.
Cao Ze looked up and saw the mechanical eagle, which was inferior to the mechanical Vermilion Bird, and thought to himself, "Could it be that someone from the Mo family has come?"
Although old, Mr. Lü has excellent eyesight, and is known as having eyes that are like rulers, otherwise he wouldn't be able to master the art of mechanical devices.
"High Priest, look! It's Cao Ze!"
Old Man Lü had seen Cao Ze in the settlement on the grassland, and even though they had only known each other for a short time, he still recognized him.
The high priest, who had been thinking about Cao Ze for countless days, looked down immediately upon hearing this.
Two fast horses, one black and one white, were seen galloping by.
There was a man and a woman; the man was only slightly different from the portrait she had seen.
"The wind of freedom..."
The high priest began to chant the incantation softly.
Cao Ze stared in shock at the scene before him.
The wind howled.
A beautiful and graceful woman descended from the sky.
It seemed as if she had a pair of enormous wings made of wind on her back, allowing her to land in front of him and Jingni like a glider.
That's fucking cool!
Chapter 535 High Priest: Sleep then!
Cao Ze couldn't help but take a second look at the beautiful woman in front of him, feeling that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
However, he didn't seem to know such a powerful woman.
Could she be another fairy sister who has lived from ancient times to the present, like Ehuang?
"...Senior, is there something you need?"
Cao Ze felt uneasy under the high priest's gaze.
Although the beautiful woman in front of me, dressed like a nun, did indeed have a curvy figure with a slender waist and a great body, not to mention her ascetic beauty with willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a delicate nose and cherry lips, she was absolutely stunning.
but!
Cao Ze clearly felt immense pressure, just like he had seen Donghuang Taiyi before. He was obviously stronger than the nameless swordsman and the marquis who had just entered the Grandmaster level.
The high priest, though anxious, remained calm and composed, displaying an intellectual air.
She said in a deep voice, "Please, Mr. Cao Ze, hand over the Dragon Soul to me."
Cao Ze was startled. There were very few people in the world who knew about the Dragon Soul. How did this woman find out?
He also knows that the Dragon Soul is in his hands!
Seeing the beautiful woman's confident tone, Cao Ze couldn't help but ask, "How do you know the Dragon Soul is in my hands?"
"Hey! Cao Ze, it's been a long time!"
Old Man Lü piloted the mechanical eagle down.
Cao Ze asked in surprise, "What are you doing here, old man?"
This place is at least 10,000 miles away from the Western Regions, if not 108,000 miles.
The high priest looked at Cao Ze and said in a deep voice, "It was Her Majesty the Queen of the Wolf Clan Royal Court who told you, old man, that the Dragon Soul is in your hands!"
Cao Ze wondered to himself, how did Hu Ji know that the Dragon Soul was in his hands?
Could it be that there is a traitor among his men, a woman named Hu?
He stared at the high priest, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed.
Cao Ze glanced at the old man again, and seeing that Old Man Lü was standing respectfully beside the beautiful woman in front of him, a thought flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously asked, "Are you the High Priest of Loulan?"
The high priest, slightly anxious, said quickly, "It's me! Loulan is in trouble. The War Demon God is about to break free of his seal and needs the Dragon Soul's help!"
Cao Ze's eyes widened. Was the Demon God of War about to break free of his seal?
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
Although he had forgotten most of the original novel, he hadn't forgotten that when the Demon God broke the seal, Tianming had already invented a corn machine gun.
Not to mention that the Demon God of War was only able to break the seal because of Wei Zhuang and others.
"Are you really the high priest of Loulan?"
Cao Ze couldn't help but ask, "Could this woman be an imposter?"
Or is this woman the daughter of the high priest from the original story?
The high priest looked somber.
"I am the High Priest of Loulan. Loulan has been destroyed. We cannot allow the world to suffer any more. This is the mission of my people and our High Priest..."
Old Man Lü said, "Young friend Cao Ze, she is indeed our Loulan High Priestess. Back then, when the High Priestess had just taken office, I was ordered to leave to search for the Dragon Soul."
Cao Ze frowned and asked, "How did the War Demon God break the seal?"
The high priest honestly replied, "To be honest, I don't know."
"However, before the War Demon God's uprising, a strange phenomenon occurred within Loulan. Members of the clan would die inexplicably, without any visible injuries, as if their souls had been devoured by evil spirits, and their deaths were extremely horrific."
Cao Ze remained silent for a moment, looking at the ripe high priest in front of him as if he were a fool.
If what the high priest said is true, he wouldn't mind using the Dragon Soul to save the world, but the key point is that he simply doesn't believe that Loulan has been destroyed and that the War God is about to break free of his seal.
It was obvious that the high priest before them was at least a Grandmaster, comparable to the Five Greats of Qin.
He couldn't imagine anyone being able to cause trouble right under the nose of such a powerful figure without being detected.
It's hard not to suspect that she was acting, colluding with Old Man Lü to swindle him out of the Dragon Soul.
He wasn't bragging, but with his and Jingni's strength, they might not be able to defeat the High Priest, but the High Priest wouldn't be able to take down the couple when they were working together.
Now that the seven bronze treasure boxes have been confiscated by the fairy sister Ehuang, how could he easily hand over the dragon soul in his hands?
With this thought in mind, Cao Ze made up his mind that he would not hand over the Dragon Soul until he was certain of the truth.
"The dragon soul is not within me."
After Cao Ze finished speaking, he pulled on the reins and prepared to leave.
"Where is that!"
In his anxiety, the high priest blocked Cao Ze's path.
Cao Ze was secretly shocked; the High Priest's speed was even three points faster than his own speed under lightning transformation.
But Cao Ze wouldn't back down, so he said impatiently, "It's none of your business!"
The high priest gripped his scepter tightly, a hint of anger in his eyes.
She had always been respected and loved by the people of Loulan, and she had never had any selfish motives. Now, she was being treated so perfunctorily by Cao Ze, especially since it was at the time when the Demon God of War was breaking the seal. How could she not be angry?
The high priest took a deep breath, glanced at the wary Jing Ni, and suppressed the urge to attack.
She wasn't confident about the two grandmasters.
"What would it take for you to hand over the Dragon Soul to me?"
The high priest gently bit his teeth, his voice slightly hoarse.
Cao Ze looked the High Priest down at her. Although her clothes were ordinary, they could not hide her mature and voluptuous figure. Her curves were very beautiful, and she had a rare good figure. He guessed that using her would be very exciting.
The high priest felt uncomfortable under Cao Ze's unbridled gaze and said stiffly, "Please give me the dragon soul."
Cao Ze was amused.
He chuckled lightly and said slowly and flirtatiously to the high priest, "I can have you, but you have to be my concubine and sleep with me for a few days, how about that?"
He was deliberately trying to disgust the high priest, just as the high priest was trying to disgust him.
They're all adults, why are they making up this hero-versus-drama plot?
He's neither a hero nor a sycophant who would hand over everything just because a princess flatters him.
The high priest was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Cao Ze to make such a demand.
Old Man Lü was furious when he saw Cao Ze making fun of their Loulan High Priest.
"Cao Ze! Stop insulting our High Priest!"
Every high priest of Loulan was an absolutely pure virgin, only in this way could they be qualified to serve the goddess Jiutian Xuannv.
In other words, for the Loulan people, the high priest was the goddess's representative on earth.
Cao Ze's claim that he wanted to sleep with the high priest of Loulan was, in the ears of the Loulan people, no less than announcing that he wanted to sleep with the Goddess of the Nine Heavens.
If this happened in Loulan, Cao Ze would have been beaten into a pulpy beef ball in no time.
Cao Ze's face immediately turned cold.
"You say I'm insulting your high priest, but your high priest demands the dragon soul I obtained with my life—isn't that also an insult to me?!"
Old Man Lü said, "We need the Dragon Soul to save the world and to reseal the Demon God of War, not for our own selfish desires!"
Cao Ze scoffed, "Since that's the case, why don't I make the High Priest my concubine and sleep with me for a few days? Isn't that also to give you the Dragon Soul and save the world?"
"What? In order to reseal the Demon God of War and avenge the people of Loulan, you can't even make this small sacrifice?"
