Chapter 422: Each Harboring Their Own Schemes

"High Priest!"

The suddenly arriving black shadow made the few people's expressions change. However, when the three saw the person clearly, their expressions changed several times again.

Immediately, the three bowed and saluted. The identity of the person who arrived made them not dare to be negligent, because this person was the High Priest of the Divine Court, holding a pivotal position in the Divine Court. His own strength had reached the Three Flowers peak, and he could be considered one of the five great Divine Kings of the current Divine Court.

Moreover, the High Priest's identity was mysterious; no one knew what his original form was. However, his strength was unquestionable. Among the five great Divine Kings, his strength ranked at least in the top three.

The key was that the High Priest, in the Divine Court, was deeply respected by many new-generation deities. His status was high, and his strength was powerful. Even someone as arrogant as the Azure Bird, when facing the High Priest, did not dare to reveal any dissatisfaction.

And what was important was that the High Priest, in the Divine Court, was relatively fair, treating all forces with reason as the priority, coordinating from all sides. It could be said that if it weren't for the High Priest, the current Divine Court would likely be even more chaotic.

Most importantly, the High Priest was once a Divine King under Taiyi Divine Emperor, had always been valued by Taiyi Divine Emperor, and his qualifications were also extremely old.

It was just that the other party was not of the Demon God lineage; otherwise, the Demon God lineage would not have become like this.

Of course, the three's hearts, at this moment, also sank. Even the High Priest had come; wanting to obtain the Taiyi Divine Emperor's inheritance would be even more difficult.

It was likely that it wouldn't be long before other deities would also arrive.

"I didn't expect the High Priest to also arrange manpower here in the human race." The Azure Bird sighed in his heart.

Regarding the Taiyi Divine Emperor's inheritance, as an expert of the Demon God lineage, he was naturally the most eager, so long ago, he began searching. Later, he also discovered that the Taiyi Divine Emperor's inheritance had actually fallen into the hands of the human race.

Thus, he entered the human kingdom, because his original form, as early as a thousand years ago, had become an enshrined deity in the Chu State territory. Later, he secretly cultivated some forces to search for him.

Later, he discovered a leader of the Yin-Yang School who actually called himself Taiyi. What was Taiyi? That was the Emperor of their Demon God lineage. A mere lowly human dared to use the name of their Emperor; it was simply courting death.

Originally, according to his idea, he would directly make a move and behead him. However, later he discovered that the other party seemed not simple, very mysterious, and at the same time, his strength was not bad.

Thus, he continued to investigate, letting him discover the other party's secret. The other party was also searching for the Taiyi Divine Emperor's inheritance. Ultimately, he did not make a move but followed along, and as a result, he discovered this Tanggu land.

Originally, he thought he was the only one who discovered it, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few, all with the same idea as him. This world really had quite a few smart guys.

But what he didn't expect was that the High Priest was also in this line.

Competing with the High Priest, to tell the truth, one-on-one, he simply didn't have this courage. But right now, they still had three people. If the three joined forces, it was not that there was no chance.

Thus, the three looked at each other, didn't speak, and just by the signaling of their eyes, they understood each other's plans.

The three prepared to join forces. If they really discovered the Taiyi Divine Emperor's inheritance, then the three would deal with the High Priest together, first suppress and repel the other party, and then snatch it.

As for whether they would offend the High Priest, the three's thoughts were all the same: offend if you must. As long as they could obtain the Taiyi Divine Emperor's inheritance, even if they offended the High Priest, it didn't matter.

As long as they went into closed-door cultivation and refined the Divine Core, their strength and cultivation would inevitably advance to a higher level. Not to say Heaven and Human Unity, at least Three Flowers peak was definitely not a problem.

At that time, even facing the High Priest, there would be no danger. Moreover, inside here, there was a chance to break through to Heaven and Human Unity.

Relying on this point alone, no one was willing to give up.

The change in the three's eyes seemed not to have been discovered by the High Priest. Regarding the three's salute, the latter indifferently nodded and said: "Since you've come, then go in and take a look. You didn't even distinguish whether it was truly the Divine Emperor Lord's inheritance place inside before you wanted to make a move. If it's not, and it's a trap set by someone on purpose, wouldn't you have suffered in vain?"

"Hmm!"

The High Priest's words also made the three's expressions suddenly change. They had never considered this point before.

After all, they had seen the strange phenomenon just now very clearly, and that Yin-Yang School leader was also desperately suppressing it. That didn't look like acting.

Therefore, the three were noncommittal toward the High Priest's words, but on the surface, the three did not refute.

"The High Priest is right; we were impulsive."

The High Priest, upon hearing the Azure Bird's words, suspiciously looked at the other party, as if wanting to see through him, and the latter, sensing the High Priest's gaze, also felt tight in his heart, thinking the other party had seen through something.

However, soon the High Priest also turned his head, looking at the valley below, his brows involuntarily furrowing, murmuring: "In this place like this, would Divine Emperor Lord place his own inheritance place here?"

Although the voice was very small, the people present were all experts, so they naturally heard it clearly.

"High Priest, regardless of whether it is or not, since we've come, let's go in and take a look. Moreover, Divine Emperor Lord's thoughts, none of us can guess."

The Azure Bird said in a low voice.

"Not bad! Divine Emperor Lord is indeed not something we can peek at." Hearing the Azure Bird's words, the High Priest was immediately stunned, seemingly falling into deep thought, as if recalling the time when he followed behind the Divine Emperor Lord.

"High Priest!"

"High Priest!"

Watching the High Priest seem somewhat dazed, the three were also at a loss, and even wanted to make a move, but in the end, they decided to wait.

"Go! Let's go in and take a look to see if this place is truly the inheritance place arranged by Divine Emperor Lord."

The High Priest came back to his senses, deeply looked at the three, and then took a step forward, arriving in the deep valley. On both sides of the deep valley, scorching steam was emitted. The entire valley was brown, and in the valley, not a blade of grass grew, completely devoid of life.

The temperature was extremely high, but for the four, even if this temperature were twice as high, it would have no influence on them. Instead, they were sensing the danger in the deep valley.

The deep valley was not very safe.

A killing array had been laid out in the deep valley. Even for the four, they would not be careless.

Because they knew that if this place was a trap, it was very likely a trap set by the human race for them, which would inevitably be extremely dangerous. They could not have any paralysis or carelessness, because if it went badly, it was very likely they would die and disappear.

The human race's schemes and tricks were very skilled, and also very powerful.

If it wasn't a trap and was truly the Divine Emperor Lord's inheritance place, it was also absolutely not a safe place.

Because Divine Emperor Lord would inevitably have also set up arrays. ===== CHAPTER 423 =====
