As soon as he removed the big palm on Ye Ci's head, before anyone could react, Ye Run quickly formed a seal with both hands, and then hit his heart hard with another palm. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his blue mouth, and a few drops of the hot blood fell on Ye Ci's face, who had just opened his eyes.
"Master Ye!" Upon seeing this, the divine catcher who had been waiting for a long time on the side quickly stepped forward to help Ye Run, who could no longer hold on, and his whole body fell backwards.
Ye Ci, who just woke up from the chaos, looked at Ye Run's right palm with dull eyes, which was still on his heart. He raised his hand to touch his cheek, feeling the moisture coming from his fingertips, which was so hot.
He asked in a trembling voice: "Master, what have you done?"
Ye Run gasped and leaned in the arms of one of the gods, half-lidded his eyelashes, covering up the light flowing in his eyes in time.
"It's nothing, just... ahem, I just brought some unsightly people on the road..." After Situ Qin had to commit suicide, the shrine, which had no preparation in advance, would definitely not be able to find the next reincarnated palace master for a while.According to past practice, the search for the next reincarnated Palace Master was mostly done when the current Palace Master was nearing his old age, and then it took one to twenty years to search.
However, Situ Qin's death was too sudden, and because Situ Qin was in his prime, the Shrine had not yet begun to look for the next new palace master to succeed Situ Qin. Under such circumstances, the Shrine was destined to remain vacant for one to twenty years, so during this period of no master, it was definitely the best time for Situ Shuang to take action.
But how could he let Situ Shuang's ruthless ambition succeed?
That Situ Shuang didn't take the current priest seriously.
Since Situ Shuang has roped in the priests and wants the high priests to wear his royal robes, why can't he destroy the bargaining chip in Situ Shuang's hands to find and persecute the reincarnated palace lord, delaying his disciples for a while, allowing Ye Ci, whose power in the palace is still unstable, to gain a foothold, and make Ye Ci the highest-ranking person in the palace?
Ye Ci asked in disbelief: "You... used a secret technique?"
"I want to see if Situ Shuang can challenge you in the future..." Ye Run weakly tugged at the corner of his lips, willing to drag a few companions along with him.
"But you have to pay the price!" Ye Ci shouted in shock and anger, "Do you know whether you can be reincarnated?"
"It doesn't matter..."
"What not──"
"Xiao Ci." Ye Run interrupted his disciple who was shaking with excitement, and told him Yin Yin, "You have received the inheritance of being a master, and you are the new priest of the shrine. From now on, you will lead the gods of the West Palace, preside over the affairs of the shrine, do your best to find the new palace master, and help him rule the shrine after the new palace master takes office. Do you understand?"
"I know..." Ye Ci knelt in front of him, took his skinny palm, and put it against his face.
"You are fifteen, and you are an adult now. As a teacher, I am fortunate to have found you reincarnated when you were three years old, and to have the opportunity to raise you with my own hands..." Ye Run looked at his young and handsome face with nostalgia, and his fingertips caressed his cheek with nostalgia, "We priests, the only master in this life is the master of the palace. Right now, your master is still waiting for you outside. He is still waiting for you to find him. Don't let him wander outside for too long."
"Disciples will live up to their master's orders..." The tears flowing down Ye Ci's face gradually soaked their palms, making him gradually unable to hold Ye Run's palms down.
"Very good..." Ye Run lowered his eyes with heavy eyes, "I am tired of being a teacher and want to take a rest..." When dawn came again, Ye Run, the fifteenth reincarnated priest of Yundori Palace, died in the West Palace. On the same day, several high priests also died suddenly in the East Palace.
She doesn't remember where the disaster that started the world's chaos came from, and she doesn't remember how the peaceful and happy days in the past were ruined. The only thing that she can't forget is the fire that filled the sky that day that even the clouds seemed to be burned red.
"Girl, wake up, wake up quickly..." Aunt Zhang didn't care whether it was the middle of the night or whether her young lady was having a good dream. She stretched out her hand and pushed her, urging her to get up quickly.
"Nanny?" Yefeng was still in a daze after being pushed awake for no apparent reason.
"Something happened. The old man wants us to run away." Aunt Zhang lowered her voice, quickly helped her up, and quickly put on clothes on her body.
"What happened? Grandpa..." She looked at the window sash of the neighboring courtyard in confusion, and saw only the shadows of headlights above, "What's going on outside?"
"Girl, stop asking." Aunt Zhang put on her clothes, grabbed a few medical books from the bookcase nearby, and stuffed them into their coats.
"Nanny, these clothes?" She looked down at the somewhat old men's clothes on her body.
"It belongs to the grandson of Uncle Lin, who is guarding the courtyard." After casually pulling her hair into a boy's bun, Aunt Zhang dragged her hand towards the small door. After looking at the empty backyard outside, she hurriedly pulled her towards the backyard.
The cold wind blew on the face like a knife, and the wild wind was dragged by the running Aunt Zhang, making her stagger. As soon as she left the backyard, Aunt Zhang dragged her to run straight down the mountain path, even if she couldn't follow.If she went up or fell, he just pulled her up and continued to drag her running. By the time they reached the path in the forest, the top of the mountain was already bustling with people, and bunches of torches held high illuminated the top of the mountain as bright as day.
Yefeng looked behind him as he walked, "Grandpa..."
A few months ago, in the countries near Central Continent, something that looked like a god but not a god appeared. It was called soul paper. According to rumors, as long as anyone writes their wish on the soul paper and pays the price, the promised soul servant will fulfill the wish of the owner.
When I first heard about this rumor that had spread across several countries, everyone in the county's reaction was nothing more than to sneer or shrug and treat it as something to talk about after dinner.But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Soul slaves appeared one after another in neighboring countries, and several big cities were destroyed by the soul slaves one after another. When refugees or people fleeing disasters from various countries poured into their small country by the sea, the people who had been talking about the rumors in peace no longer had any smiles on their faces.
The soul disaster brought about by soul paper and soul slavery was like an overwhelming plague that soon swept through all countries on the continent.The island country is regarded as the last refuge by neighboring countries. Even if the borders are closed, it cannot stop the people fleeing from all over the world.As the days went by, even in Pingbo County, the most remote part of Shayu Country, there were traces of refugees.
As the county magistrate of Pingbo County, Ye Lang was ordered to seal off Pingbo County in order to protect the safety of the people in the county. He ordered that the entire county was not allowed to enter until the turmoil caused by the soul disaster was over.However, even so, the towering city gate still cannot withstand all kinds of souls of unknown origin, and the soul papers that confuse people's hearts.
As for Ye Feng, Ye Lang's only daughter, after Ye Lang heard the news about the soul paper, she was secretly sent to her ancestral home on the mountain to avoid trouble. However, none of them expected that no matter how remote and far away from the county town, this place would still be affected in the end.
"Nanny, can't we wait for grandma?" Seeing them getting further and further away from the top of the mountain, the uneasy Yefeng suddenly grabbed Aunt Zhang's hand and refused to go any further into the dark forest ahead.
"No wait, the old man said before that we should leave first." Aunt Zhang asked her to leave and had no time to explain to her.
"But grandpa..." Yefeng, who suddenly felt something was wrong, wanted to go back to find her grandpa, but she suddenly froze, and a bloody sweet smell rushed directly between her mouth and nose.
Is this... the pressure of a warrior?
When Ye Feng reacted, she quickly threw down Aunt Zhang, who had never practiced martial arts and was already on the verge of collapse after being pressured by a warrior. Then she lay behind her, stretched out her two palms to cover Aunt Zhang's heart to protect her, mobilized her internal strength, and looked into the distance in the forest with breathless concentration.
Is the visitor a high-ranking soldier?No, how could that unparalleled pressure be just a high-ranking soldier?Could it be that he was the rumored prime minister?
Seeing Aunt Zhang vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood as she endured the pain, Yefeng immediately supported Aunt Zhang and decided to take the risk and take Aunt Zhang away from here first.But she had not dragged Aunt Zhang very far when the sound of dry grass on the ground betrayed their whereabouts. Several black shadows came quickly in front of them and blocked their way. One of the leading men raised his head and shouted behind him.
