Chapter 431: Unexpected Accident

"Sure enough, it's you?"

"What kind of person are you?"

The High Priest looked at Ji Ying. He felt that this human was not simple at all. The other party's cultivation was not very high, only having entered the Three Flowers Realm, which was far worse than the Azure Bird and the others.

However, clearly, it was he who touched the array left by Divine Emperor Lord in the palace, ultimately letting the Azure Bird and the others fall into that, while this person was safe and sound.

It was as if he had been forgotten.

It was precisely because of this weirdness that the High Priest was somewhat wary.

Ji Ying didn't pay attention to the High Priest, his eyes seemingly somewhat dazed, looking at the tall statue right in front of him.

He felt that there was an unprecedented sense of strange familiarity, and even in the depths of his heart, a voice had been urging him to step forward.

It even made him unable to help but walk forward, which also made Ji Ying feel somewhat panicked and uneasy in his heart.

What kind of situation was this? He felt that the statue gave him a feeling of being extremely intimate, as if it were himself.

But he had just seen with his own eyes that many Yin-Yang School disciples had been sucked dry by this statue.

Such a weird scene made him unable to forget.

He even suspected that the feeling in his heart was also the statue playing tricks, just to attract him to step forward and suck him dry.

But this sense of familiarity, that sense of intimacy, came from his divine soul. This kind of feeling simply made him unable to choose, and more importantly, inside the statue was the inheritance and Divine Core left by that Divine Court Emperor, so he was even more unwilling to give up.

"Stop!"

Ji Ying ultimately had greed overcome fear, unable to help but step forward, wanting to touch the statue.

The High Priest behind, seeing this, was furious, shouting loudly. He didn't know what was in this statue.

But he was clear that this statue must be something left by Divine Emperor Lord for rebirth. He absolutely would not allow others to destroy it.

Thus, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Regardless of what background this human had, the other party dared to make a move on the statue, so he would not be polite.

The wooden staff in his hand surged, and a cyan-green divine light was suddenly struck out. A casual strike from the Three Flowers peak was not something just anyone could

However, the next second, a scene appeared that made the High Priest widen his eyes: he saw his attack appear three feet in front of that human, when suddenly the statue's eyes emitted divine light, instantly shattering his attack.

"Lord Divine Emperor!"

Seeing this, the High Priest was also somewhat bewildered; he did not understand what was going on, or why the statue would take action to interrupt his attack.

Why would the statue help this human? Could it be that this statue had long since been controlled by that human? The High Priest did not believe it; he did not believe that this human had the ability to control the statue so quickly.

The High Priest could feel the power contained within this statue.

Even for him, controlling it would not be easy; how could the other party control it in such a short time? If not, then what exactly was going on?

The High Priest was somewhat lost, but he stopped and did not attack again; after all, it was not appropriate to act before he had figured out the situation.

He just watched quietly, and he also secretly wondered in his heart: could this person be an arrangement made by Lord Divine Emperor?

It is said that this person is called Taiyi among humans, a name identical to Lord Divine Emperor's; could it be that this person is the reincarnation of Lord Divine Emperor?

The High Priest could not help but think secretly; otherwise, why would there be such a coincidence?

It was precisely because he thought of this that the High Priest stopped; if this were truly the case, would his attacking not disrupt Lord Divine Emperor's arrangements, or even his rebirth?

Thus, the High Priest stopped and watched from the side to see what the statue would do next.

If it really was what he thought, then he would be very happy; Lord Divine Emperor was about to be reborn and return, and the Divine Court would have a new master.

Facing the increasingly powerful Great Qin Empire, the High Priest also felt some pressure; he had long since sensed the strength of Great Qin.

That Master of Great Qin was an even more ambitious person, and his abilities were even more formidable than those of Di Xin back in the day; if Great Qin continued like this, it would inevitably become more and more powerful.

And this Master of Great Qin happened to be a person with extremely strong initiative who was also deeply hostile toward the Divine Court.

In fact, the entire Great Qin was extremely hostile toward the Divine Court; since the rise of Great Qin, one could not count how many gods had died at their hands.

Especially those of the Demon God lineage, after all, the human and demon races had never known peace; it was either demons eating humans or humans hunting demons.

And some innate gods had also died under Great Qin's conquests; now that Great Qin had unified the world, that Master of Great Qin had long since revealed his intentions: to conquer the Divine Court, to become the co-lord of the world, and to become a figure who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with, or even surpass, the Three Sovereigns.

Such a person naturally gave the High Priest a headache.

Because the current Divine Court was no longer as strong as it once was; the Divine Court, after all, was not the human race, which was favored by the luck of humanity and could recover quickly even after being severely damaged.

The destruction of the Yin Shang was the work of their Divine Court, and later, after the establishment of the Great Zhou, they had also been secretly employing various schemes.

On one hand, they incited foreign tribes, especially the grassland barbarians, to attack the Great Zhou, while on the other, they constantly sowed discord within the Great Zhou.

The decline of the Great Zhou and the chaotic warfare of the Warring States period were also partly due to their schemes; this was partly for the sake of human blood-food, and partly to constantly weaken the power of human dynasties.

As long as the human race was not unified, it would be difficult for them to threaten their Divine Court.

However, at present, Great Qin had unified the world, and especially in recent years, a human sage had appeared, causing Great Qin's luck to increase extremely rapidly, and the power of the human race had naturally risen quickly as well.

It was even approaching the level of the Yin Shang back in the day.

Moreover, Great Qin was not like the Yin Shang; during the Yin Shang period, there was the enfeoffment system, and the Great Shang was the co-lord of the human race, with eight hundred feudal lords beneath it.

At that time, they could manipulate other feudal lords to turn against the Great Shang and diminish the Great Shang's national luck.

But Great Qin was different; Great Qin might not yet be equal to the Great Shang and those eight hundred feudal lords in strength, but it had a centralized system, and they were simply unable to manipulate Great Qin into internal strife.

In recent years, the secret agents they had planted among the humans had also been uprooted one by one, which could be considered a heavy loss.

Precisely because of this, the High Priest also sensed danger; once Great Qin was prepared to counterattack the Divine Court, it would inevitably be a disaster for the Divine Court.

After all, the Divine Court was like a dragon without a head, each fighting its own battles; facing the military might of Great Qin, they would never work together, and thus would inevitably be defeated one by one by Great Qin.

In these past few years, quite a few Three-Flowers-realm gods had died at the hands of Great Qin, and he naturally saw it all.

However, although he was powerful, he was unable to unite the Divine Court.
