Chapter 1291: What A Big Trap
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh_
Netherworld Hierarch stood on the black lotus. A strong netherworld power coiled around him in twisting streams, making him look like a giant octopus with thousands of enormous tentacles. Long and dark netherworld power streams flaunted around him, and faintly, high-pitched coarse screams could be heard.
”Netherworld Hierarch…Netherworld Priest!
Ji Hao looked at Netherworld Hierarch seriously, wondering if he were truly a clone of Netherworld Priest.
Ji Hao knew about Netherworld Priest, a mysterious, powerful being. After the humankind rose, Netherworld Priest was the only ancient powerful being who still had a tight connection with human beings. When Dishi Yanluo newly ascended to the throne of the Blood Moon, he started a great war. Back then, Emperor Shun asked Netherworld Priest for help, and he did show up to fight a quick battle against Dishi Yanluo.
As Ji Hao clawed his way up the social ladder of the human society, he had reached many core secrets already. He knew that a long-term agreement existed between high-level human leaders and Netherworld Priest. Human beings were under Netherworld Priest’s protection, and in return, the souls of some fallen human warriors would follow Netherworld Priest upon their own wills, becoming his disciples. Apart from this, when human leaders asked Netherworld Priest for help, they also promised him the bodies of a part of fallen warriors, allowing him to make those dead bodies into flying zombies and other types of battle puppets.
Priest Hua and Priest Mu had been trying everything they could to attract more followers among human beings and to collect the faith power from human beings, but Netherworld Priest was different. He lived in the netherworld, with ghosts, zombies and other dark beings; he had no interest in living human beings.
Such a powerful being was hiding right next to the reception room of the shop run by the Tushan Chamber of Commerce, but why? Ji Hao was curious. What was Tushan Chamber of Commerce planning? Or, what was Netherworld Priest planning?
”Who are you, my friend?” Seeing Ji Hao remaining silent for quite a while, Netherworld Hierarch asked a bit angrily, ”I’ve seen what you can do. You’re not a nameless ordinary being for sure, and you’re definitely not a crayfish. My friend, impressive shapeshifting skill!”
Following a sizzling noise, a thin crack suddenly appeared between Netherworld Hierarch’s eyebrows, exposing a dark eyeball.
A dark beam of light darted out light a bolt of lightning, covering Ji Hao’s body.
Ji Hao sensed a slight coldness from his skin. His boiling spirit blood cooled down suddenly, and his shapeshifting magic was almost broken by this dark eye of Priest Hierarch. Pondering briefly, Ji Hao deactivated his shapeshifting magic and showed his real face.
Wearing the brightly glowing Taiji cloak, Ji Hao bowed to Netherworld Hierarch with a vigorous look and said politely, ”You are an eldership of mine. I am Ji Hao, and it’s a pleasure to meet you. My Shifu always tells me that you are a friend of our sect, and that I should respect you as much as I respect my Shifu.”
Before Netherworld Hierarch said a word, Ji Hao kneeled on the ground and greeted him with the special teacher-greeting convenance from Yu Yu’s sect.
Watching ‘old crayfish Summer’ suddenly become Ji Hao, a handsome, strong young man, Netherworld Hierarch paused slightly, then had his eyes shone brightly. Glancing at Ji Hao’s Taiji cloak, he abruptly laughed out loud and said, ”Hah, you’re my friend Dachi’s…No, the power I sensed from you…”
