Chapter 2311 - Enjoying the Benefits of the Hard Work of Ones Predecessors! (1/2)
The white-robed priestess softly exhaled and quickly regained her composure. Her body began to exude a graceful and hallowed aura.
As a light breeze blew in, the priestess tied the white scarf around her eyes and walked out. As she extended a hand, various divine symbols began to appear in her palm, assembling into a formation. Just like before, the formation activated, sealing up this place.
Buzz!
In a series of ripples, the dimension in which Mount Yaluo was located began to slowly disappear like two curtains were being slowly drawn over it.
Whoosh!
But just when this dimension was about to close, there was a gust of wind, and two figures silently appeared at the priestess’s side.
Buzz!
Everything froze, and that faint smile on the priestess’s face went stiff.
“Who are you?” the priestess gravely said to these two newcomers.
She had already noticed these two, and Wang Chong had not actually tried too hard to hide his tracks at the time. But back then, the priestess had not paid them too much regard, taking them as peerless experts of some tribe.
No matter how strong ants were, they were still ants, and for a god, there was no difference, all of them equally insignificant. But at this moment, the priestess realized that she had underestimated them, that these were no ordinary experts.
Moreover, her master’s oracle had only mentioned Essence Supreme’s group, not these people. But right after Essence Supreme had gone, these two people had appeared. This meant that they had been in hiding nearby this entire time. This alone was not something that mortal experts were capable of.
The priestess became extremely wary. Her master’s oracles had never been wrong. These people were far too bizarre.
“Hmph, just a puny priestess! I don’t need to tell you anything.”
Li Xuantu coldly snorted and grabbed the priestess, planning to extract the information on Essence Supreme and Luo Supreme from her mind.
Priests were simply slaves. Li Xuantu had once been the Crown Prince of the Great Tang and had a revered status, so he naturally wouldn’t bring himself to care about some priestess.
But at this moment, Wang Chong extended a hand and stopped Li Xuantu. “Wait!”
Wang Chong carefully examined the priestess as he asked, “You are An Lushan’s birth mother?”
For Li Xuantu, this woman was just a bystander, but this was not the case for Wang Chong.
In his last life, there had been rumors regarding the relationship between An Lushan and the Turkic War God. At least half of them had originated from An Lushan himself. In the past, the Turkic War God was just some vague concept, a legend, and he naturally wouldn’t have taken it seriously. But when he discovered that the Turkic War God from several thousand years ago actually was a real person and was Luo Supreme of the Celestial God Organization, Wang Chong had an entirely different attitude.
If it was all true, then things were far more complicated than they seemed.
The mention of ‘An Lushan’ caused the priestess’s composure to fall apart, and she began to tremble.
“How did you know…?” the priestess instinctively asked, but midway, she realized something. As she looked at this youth that was clearly from the Central Plains, she had a sudden insight.
“You’re that Child of Destruction!”
Wang Chong smiled, not denying it.
Luo Supreme had been part of the Celestial God Organization, so it wasn’t surprising that she learned about the Child of Destruction from Luo Supreme. Moreover, based on her reaction, it seemed that the rumor that An Lushan was the son of the Turkic War God was true.
Wang Chong nodded. Meanwhile, the priestess’s mind fell into turmoil.
A ‘Child of Destruction’ actually didn’t signify anything to her. What truly left the priestess shocked was that if this person was the Child of Destruction, then he was also the person who her son, An Lushan, had fought with for a lifetime and had ultimately died to.
The priestess’s face flickered, and for a moment, an intense killing intent welled up in her heart.
But the priestess was no match for him. Just as Li Xuantu believed, priests were just the slaves of gods and had no ability to fight. Even though she knew Wang Chong’s identity, she could not do anything.
“So you were the mother of that source of disaster!”
Li Xuantu narrowed his eyes and clamped his hand around the priestess’s neck, raising her into the air.
Li Xuantu had not known about the connection between An Lushan and this priestess. Though it had been a long time since he had participated in government affairs, he was still part of the House of Li. This woman had given birth to An Lushan, who had brought chaos to the Central Plains. This alone was enough to have her killed one hundred times.
But there was no fear in the priestess’s eyes as she was raised into the air by Li Xuantu.
“It shouldn’t be. Yaluoshan was the Child of Heaven’s will, the child of a god. He was destined to unite the world. It shouldn’t have been like this,” she muttered to herself, but her eyes quickly turned to Wang Chong.
“It seems that you truly are the Child of Destruction. This world will be destroyed at your hands!”
