Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

287 A Dense Horde of Humanoid Creatures
Originally, the plans could be said to be flawless, and everything was perfect. However, Ye Xuan had ruined them.

If the high priest knew that it was not Qian Yuan who had destroyed the bone dragon, but Ye Xuan, he would probably have attacked the latter immediately.

He never imagined that the human in front of him would have such ability. He only treated him as a weak ant and didn’t take him seriously.

The high priest thought that these ants in the abyss would not be able to escape from his palm, so he had no intention of hiding anything.

Even Ye Xuan was very surprised.

After all, the place where the bone dragon was located was a land of great evil. After Long Zhan’s death, the dragon’s remains gave birth to an evil will. After thousands of years of nourishment from resentment and demonic Qi, it appeared as Ye Xuan had seen it.

He thought that the bone dragon’s appearance was a freak combination of factors, but he hadn’t expected that someone had planned it intentionally. For the high priest to lay out a 1000-year scheme, it was really terrifying.

Yet the high priest said that the plan was not complete. If the bone dragon was already so difficult to deal with now, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling did not dare to imagine what would happen if it was completed.

“The altar you set up was nearby. Its purpose should be to detect the movements of the bone dragon. However, why didn’t you stop us then?”

Ye Xuan found this rather strange. After all, there was quite a huge commotion stirred up in Changping back then. Since the high priest was nearby, logically speaking, he would have intervened.

With the high priest’s cultivation and the power of these humanoid creatures, it should have been easy to stop Ye Xuan’s group. However, no one seemed to have noticed them during the beast tide or the events that followed.

By right, the high priest should have acted since he placed such a huge importance on the bone dragon.

Ye Xuan’s words seemed to have hit the high priest’s sore spot. In a low voice, the high priests countered, “Did you think I didn’t want to? It’s because…”

The high priest didn’t continue. He just looked Ye Xuan in the eyes and mocked, “You ant, you don’t need to know so much.”

Ye Xuan felt it was a pity. He had wanted to continue fishing for more information, but he had to give up after being discovered.

“How can an ant comprehend my great ambitions? It’s time for you to die. It’s your good fortune to be able to become the sacrifice of my master.”

Shen Changling scoffed at his words and said, “I will pass on this fortune.”

The high priest responded with an extremely cold gaze. He said, “You are so eloquent. I wonder if you’ll still be able to speak in such a manner after you become a corpse.”

“Qian Yuan!”

Ye Xuan used his divine sense to call out to Qian Yuan, but there was still no response.

Ye Xuan was not someone who would sit and wait for death. His previous conversation with the high priest was to fish for more information and to delay time to see if he could wake Qian Yuan up.

After all, with only him and Shen Changling, their combat power was too low. They were not only facing the high priest, who had lived for nearly 1000 years, but also countless humanoid creatures.

Shen Changling lowered his voice as he looked at the people around him. He asked, “Elder Ye, what should we do now?”

The current situation was very disadvantageous to them. The only good thing was that the high priest didn’t know Ye Xuan’s power, so he didn’t take him seriously.

“Come, entertain our guests well. After all, they seem reluctant to be sacrificed.”

As the high priest said this, countless humanoid creatures rushed towards Ye Xuan and Shen Changling.

Shen Changling’s sword Qi was sharp. It transformed into countless sharp blades that fell on the humanoid creatures, splitting them in two. However, the next moment, the black shadows reformed themselves.

Shen Changling waved the sharp weapon in his hand. Even with a divine weapon in his hand, he was helpless against the vast number of enemies. There were so many black shadows that it made him feel hopeless. Even if he swung his weapon until his hands were numb, it would be of no use.

“This won’t do! Elder Ye, we can’t hurt them at all.”

Physical attacks had no effect on their enemies. Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s fingertips emitted hot spiritual power, and a fire dragon half the height of a man was summoned.

With a roar, the fire dragon charged forward. The shadows were quickly burned, and their speed of reforming slowed down. Even when they were restored, their bodies were smaller than before.

This kind of creature was most afraid of the power of light or fire. Ye Xuan saw that the attack was effective, so he made many fire dragons.

The fire dragons wrapped around the black shadows, and the air was instantly filled with a nauseating burning smell. Black smoke filled the air, as if the souls struggling in hell were howling in pain.

Although Shen Changling was not of the light or fire attribute, he had made many divine light bullets with talisman paper. He wrapped them with sword Qi and threw them into the humanoid creatures. He did not miss his marks.

Many black shadows couldn’t avoid the power of light in time and were burned to crisps. The rest of them avoided the light as if it was a flood or a ferocious beast. Soon, the leading group of humanoid creatures scattered.

“It seems that you are not completely useless. No wonder you managed to come here.”

The high priest looked at the countless humanoid creatures perishing at the hands of Ye Xuan and Shen Changling, but he was unmoved. He even revealed a strange smile.

He declared, “However, it’s a pity that you’ve encountered me. Your journey ends here.”

With a wave of his hand, more humanoid creatures rushed forward. They swarmed forward wave after wave, dense like a black tide, instantly overwhelming Ye Xuan and Shen Changling.

At this moment, the high priest believed that Ye Xuan and his companion were certainly dead, so he no longer paid them any heed. He began to chant an ancient and incomprehensible spell. Dark aura enveloped him.

Qian Yuan’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. However, they were filled with a deathly aura. There was no sign of life in them, only an extremely dense darkness.

Something was extremely off about him. It was obvious that he was being manipulated.
