Hou Hou, the current high priest of the witch clan in the witch world, is also the de facto ruler in name, but in the eyes of outsiders, he doesn't care about this power.
After Li Zhen met Hou Chu, he found that he was the same as Hou Chuan, and his appearance was more like that of the human race.
Hou Miao is not as tall and powerful as other Wu clan men. He is tall and thin, with gray hair, a stooped figure, and an old man. He looks like an old scholar, but this is quite consistent with the status of a high priest.
.
"Guests from afar! Welcome to the witch world."
After Hou Ji saw Li Zhen, he showed unexpected enthusiasm, which made Li Zhen feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, he was not rude and returned the courtesy.
"Junior Li Zhen, I have met the high priest!"
"You're welcome! Please sit down."
The high priest waved his hand, and Li Zhen took the first seat. Hou Xun also served tea in a very sensible way. However, the tea of the Wu clan was much rougher than the tea of the human clan, maybe because Li Zhen was not used to drinking it.
"I think Li Xiaoyou gained a lot from this trip to the witchcraft world."
The high priest smiled.
When Li Zhen heard this, his expression was slightly startled. It seemed that the other party knew a lot about him, but without knowing the other party's details, Li Zhen did not intend to have a deep conversation with the other party about what had happened recently.
The high priest saw through Li Zhen's defense and said friendlyly: "That ferocious beast has been recorded since the day it appeared in the witch world."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhen was shocked.
It turns out that they had known about Qilin's existence for a long time, but why didn't they take any action when Qilin moved strangely?
Li Zhen couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
The high priest was uncertain again and said: "If it were thousands of years ago and the previous high priest was still there, then the existence of this ferocious beast would not be able to cause harm to our witch clan. It is a pity that the newcomers are incompetent and cannot match it. Again.
The reporter said that the high priest who discovered the ferocious beast once left a prophecy, saying that when the ferocious beast escapes from trouble, someone will appear who has surrendered, so that future generations must not act rashly. Otherwise, how could this great threat be allowed to exist safely for countless years?"
Was there a prophecy?
Li Zhen thought about it carefully and found that what the other party said made sense, but his ability to predict someone coming to subdue Qilin was too great.
A prophet? A divine plan?
"The internal affairs of our sect have implicated the Wu clan. I am extremely sorry for this."
Qilin is the Qilin of the Human Cult, and is the mount of Senior Brother. It is a very sorry thing to be implicated in the Wu Clan, both emotionally and rationally.
"You don't have to be like this, Li Xiaoyou. Cause and effect are cyclic, and everything is determined."
The high priest disagreed and said: "The high priest who discovered the ferocious beast left a last word when he passed away. Those who surrender the ferocious beast will lead us out of the witchcraft world. We very much hope that Li Xiaoyou, as the person of prophecy, can help us leave.
The world of witchcraft.”
Leaving the witch world?
"You want to leave the wizarding world? Why is this? This place is far away from right and wrong, just like a paradise in the world. Isn't it a good place to live?"
The ancestors of the Wu clan took them away from the primitive world. After living there for countless years, they wanted to leave again. Wouldn't it be against their original intention?
The high priest agreed with Li Zhen's words. This is indeed a very good place to recuperate, but it is not a place where one can survive for a long time.
"Although this place is good, it is small and has limited resources."
The high priest showed a sad look and explained: "Since the Wu tribe intermarryed with the human race, they have improved their own group's weakness in low reproduction. Although the ability to reproduce offspring is still not comparable to that of the human race, over countless years, the population has always exceeded that of the human race.
A day when the world is overloaded, and when resources are scarce, a civil war breaks out. This is a natural cycle that cannot be violated by manpower."
"For countless years, the Wu Clan has experienced countless civil wars, repeated over and over again. If they cannot leave this place and return to the prehistoric world, the Wu Clan will always be in this terrible cycle. I wonder if Li Xiaoyou understands this pain?"
When Li Zhen heard this, his eyes dimmed.
As the Lord of the two realms, he naturally understands the words of the high priest.
The reproduction of the population will bring vitality to a country, but when the country cannot absorb the excess population, internal problems will arise.
Too much is not enough.
The high priest hopes that Li Zhen can lead the Witch Clan to leave the Witch World and develop and survive in the primitive world with infinite resources and vast territory.
"The worries of the seniors must be guarded against, but the juniors themselves cannot guarantee that they have the ability to leave the witchcraft world, so how can they say 'help'? Even if they agree, it is just a joke."
Li Zhen shook his head.
"Little friend Li, don't worry. The Holy Mountain can satisfy what you want today. Everything this priest said, I only ask for a promise from you."
The high priest had already calculated this in his mind and said with a smile.
Li Zhen was overjoyed, and apparently he vaguely expected that the other party would help him leave. Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous if the other party had made a long phone call?
If you can't even leave the witch world, how can you talk about leading the witch clan to leave?
"Oh? Since the high priest has a way to leave the witchcraft world, why do you ask the junior again?"
Li Zhen was not dazzled by the good news. The other party had a way to leave and asked himself, which showed that there was something wrong with the way of leaving.
The high priest knew that Li Zhen was very concerned about leaving the witchcraft world, but after knowing that there was a way, he could remain calm. This attitude is really admirable, and he is truly a prophet.
Very human!
"To be honest, this method of leaving is the teleportation array established by the high priest during the Witch King's civil war. At that time, the high priest realized that the civil war would bring irreparable damage to the Witch Clan, so he devoted his life to building the teleportation array, hoping to provide future generations with
The descendants left behind and left the gate of the witchcraft world."
The high priest explained: "It is a pity that future generations are incompetent. The strength of each high priest is getting weaker and weaker, and it is difficult to reach the heights of the ancestors. Coupled with the erosion of the years, today's teleportation array is no longer the original one, and its operation can only teleport a few seconds."
People leave, and absolute safety cannot be guaranteed during the teleportation process. Only when the strength of the teleported person reaches the heavenly realm can he be safe and sound, otherwise he will be in danger of being crushed by the power of space and dying."
When Li Zhen heard this, he was immediately speechless, but it was no problem for him. With the protection of Xuanhuang Exquisite Tower, he should have no worries.
"The thing that suppresses the ferocious beasts is a sacred object. Little friends can rely on it to escape."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "If this junior can leave, then I will be willing to help the witch clan leave the witch world."
He originally intended to take the Wu clan as his own, so he was naturally willing to help, even if he asked for it.
"Haha! If so, I, the priest, would like to thank you in advance."
The high priest was very happy when Li Zhen agreed. He seemed not to worry that Li Zhen would break his oath. However, what he did next caught Li Zhen off guard.
"This priest has a heartfelt request, and I hope you will agree."
The high priest seemed to remember something and said.
"Oh?! Senior, it's okay to say it. If junior can do it, I won't refuse."
Li Zhen said happily.
The high priest cast his gaze on Houjuan and said with a smile, "I wonder if my little friend would like to accept Houjuan as his disciple?"
"ah?!"
Li Zhen was startled. As a bystander, Hou Xun didn't want to be involved, so he also had a look of astonishment on his face.
