435: Chapter 93 Priest_1 435: Chapter 93 Priest_1 Worthy of the na Divine Shade Land!
This place of quiet and peace is completely unlike the dark and fearso world outside.
Inside and outside the Divine dragon wood, it seed like two entirely different worlds.
In the Forest sea source realm, one’s mind remained constantly tense, with danger potentially arriving at any mont, no matter how calm the surroundings, one felt oppressed, anxious, and gloomy.
Yet, in this Divine Shade Land, one’s entire being unconsciously relaxed, and that atmosphere of quiet peace instantly made one’s mood expand.
So elders were lounging under the trees, lazily fanning themselves with large leaves.
Children ran about gleefully, chasing and playing, emitting a series of clear laughter.
Their clothing was of a special material that was neither hemp nor silk, and the styles were very simple.
One round-faced little girl with pigtails cocked her head curiously at Jiang Wang, the stranger.
Jiang Wang smiled at her, and with a flush, she ran away shyly.
Qing Qishu and others were waiting in front of a giant fruit house.
There was only this one fruit on the Divine dragon wood, which, in Jiang Wang’s understanding, was akin to a private courtyard in Linyi City.
The resident here must be an authoritative figure of the “Holy Tribe”.
By now, Jiang Wang had let down his guard sowhat.
The reason was simple: if Qing Qishu and others harbored any ill will towards him, they surely wouldn’t let the elders and children of their tribe wander in front of him, exposing them to danger.
Slling the mixed fragrance of soil and grass and feeling the gentle caress of the breeze was soothing.
Jiang Wang walked at ease, with the constantly taut state of his mind slightly relaxed.
Approaching the house,
A ladder of vines hung down from the doorway of the fruit house for climbing.
Both Qing Qishu and stood at the entrance, waiting for Jiang Wang to leap up before turning to walk inside.
The interior space of the fruit house was ample and not gloomy, with sections woven neatly into a grid, acting as natural windows.
Stepping on the floor, there was a soft yet solid sense of wonder.
The air inside was moving, and Jiang Wang felt that the fruit house was alive.
But there was also a subtle feeling of oppression, its source unknown.
Qing Qishu led the way in front, with at the rear to guide him.
“During the eting, just speak the truth, and you’ll be fine.
The Priest is very kind.
Even if you’re not the envoy of the Dragon God, you won’t be hard.
Of course, then you wouldn’t be able to stay in the Divine Shade Land.”
Bang!
No sooner had these words fallen than Qing Qishu was sent flying out.
He spat out blood and crashed to the ground in front of Jiang Wang’s feet.
“Hm, okay, I know…
what?”
Jiang Wang was nodding halfway when he turned to look at , his face full of question marks.
Is this what you call “kind”?
‘s expression was also quite stiff.
“Oh dear!” Qing Qishu’s agonized scream then rang out, he gritted his teeth in extre indignation: “Can’t we talk this out nicely?”
signaled Jiang Wang with his eyes to wait outside: “Perhaps the Priest is in a bad mood today.
I’ll go inside to check.”
The doorways inside the fruit house were all arched, with sky-blue threads hanging down, similar to bead curtains.
lifted the curtain and went inside.
It was only a mont to greet when Jiang Wang heard an ancient voice tinged with anger:
“You first explain, why when you and Qing Qishu were hunting, it was two people who returned to the Divine Shade Land?
Do you really think I’m reluctant to send you to Soul Cultivation?”
The voice belonged to an old crone, but the spiritual pressure in her breath was so heavy it made breathing difficult.
Perhaps because the anger was hard to conceal, the rest of her words were indistinct once they carried outside the room.
Jiang Wang reached out to pull up Qing Qishu, who was moaning on the ground, and casually asked, “Why did the respected priest expel you?”
One had to say, this youngster’s vitality was quite resilient.
The arrow wound near his heart had already healed, and though he was just expelled while vomiting blood, he did not show signs of weakness as he called out for half a day, his voice even growing stronger.
Hearing Jiang Wang’s question, he glared back fiercely and shook off his hand, widening the distance.
At this mont, Qing Jiuye lifted the silk curtain: “Zhang Linchuan, the priest invites you in.”
Without a word, Qing Qishu shot past Jiang Wang and lunged inside.
Jiang Wang followed closely and upon entering, heard a fierce shout: “Kneel!”
The spiritual pressure in that voice startled Jiang Wang.
To kneel was, of course, out of the question.
Jiang Wang was contemplating whether to turn and run or to first release a volley of Fla Sparrows and then turn and run…
When he saw Qing Qishu fall to his knees with a thud.
With a wretched face, he said, “Grandma, is there so misunderstanding?
Why are you looking at as if I’m neither nose nor eyes?”
“You even have the nerve to cry, you’ve lost all face for the Holy Tribe!”
The old crone who spoke was seated cross-legged on a cushion, the material of which was the sa as Qing Qishu’s clothing, neither silk nor hemp.
The crone had white hair and deep wrinkles on her face.
She was quite imposing when scolding Qing Qishu, but as soon as she saw Jiang Wang entering, her wrinkles relaxed considerably and she smiled kindly: “Young man, where do you co from?”
“Uh…” Jiang Wang was a bit unaccustod to her quick change in deanor, but honestly replied, “I was summoned here to the Forest Sea Source Realm by Guiding Starlight, having traversed the Hidden Snake lands to arrive here.”
“Guiding Starlight?” The white-haired crone’s bony hand clenched suddenly, grabbing her knee, but she quickly released it and said gently, “Please sit.”
The cultivation system of the Holy Tribe was different, without exchanging blows it was difficult to judge strength, but just from the aura alone, this crone esteed as a priest definitely possessed terrifyingly formidable power.
Jiang Wang, not daring to be negligent, thanked her before sitting across her on another cushion.
This cushion, apart from its material, showed no other special qualities.
But as soon as he sat down, Jiang Wang could feel his Path Origin circulating more smoothly and his thoughts becoming clearer.
Such a treasure, to have such an imdiate effect, truly astonishes one.
It seed the clothes worn by Qing Qishu and his group were also extraordinary.
After sizing up Jiang Wang, the old crone’s smile remained warm and amiable: “Truly a person of good appearance.
Jiuye was right; you must be the ssenger chosen by the Dragon God, co to the Forest Sea Source Realm to save the fate of the Holy Tribe.”
Kneeling by the side, Qing Qishu was indignant: “I was the one who said it first, how could you hit without a second word…”
The old crone looked at him with an unchanged smile, and although his mouth continued to move, there was no longer any sound coming out.
Silenced with a glance.
Jiang Wang inwardly shivered, understanding that although the old crone was scolding Qing Qishu, she was likely displaying her power before him as well.
“I ca in search of sothing, not knowing where the end lies; the Forest Sea Source Realm might just be a waypoint or perhaps I am rely lost.
I dare not bear the responsibility of saving anyone,” Jiang Wang seriously stated.
“Please, respected priest, do not hold too much hope.”
Having experienced so much, Jiang Wang would not easily let himself be hijacked by a re sentence.
Saving the entire fate of the Holy Tribe was a task too grand and heavy; such a proposition was too lofty and distant.
The warriors of the Holy Tribe were not weak.
This venerable crone priest was undoubtedly a strong figure.
If they themselves could not solve their own plight, with what could he, Jiang Wang, “save” them?
Because others praised him for looking “well-favored”?
“It’s alright,” the old crone maintained her cheery deanor, seemingly unbothered: “Tomorrow I will hold a ceremony, and then it will be known whether you are the Dragon God’s envoy.
If you are, the Dragon God himself will guide you.
If you are not, I will then send you away from this place.”
