Chapter 389 High Priest
Another woman couldn't help but scream and curse, but Lin Qiye just snorted coldly.
This time, he showed no mercy whatsoever!
boom--!!!!!!
That overwhelming, heavenly might of the sixth level of martial intent instantly condensed into a spiritual spear that was invisible to the naked eye yet solidified, violently piercing into the woman's spiritual world!
"Well……"
The woman couldn't even let out a complete scream. Her eyes, which had just been ignited with a hint of madness, instantly lost all their luster and became empty and lifeless!
Immediately afterwards, warm, thick blood gushed uncontrollably from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!
Her body went limp and collapsed to the ground; she instantly lost consciousness.
The three companions standing beside her, though not the main target of the attack, were struck in the chest as if by an invisible giant hammer just by the slight residual waves of their will!
"puff!"
They both coughed up a mouthful of blood, their pretty faces ashen white, and their eyes, when they looked at Lin Qiye, were filled with nothing but the purest, deepest fear.
Standing next to Lin Qiye, Liu Ruyan's pretty face also turned pale!
She felt her mental world tremble violently. Although the domineering will was not directed at her, its unparalleled power still made her feel a chill from the depths of her soul!
too strong!
That's ridiculously strong!
However, Lin Qiye's face remained completely expressionless.
It was as if that thunderous blow just now was nothing more than casually crushing a noisy fly to him.
His eyes, burning with golden flames, fell once more on the terrified female leader, and he calmly asked, "The high priest you mentioned earlier is stronger than you?"
Upon hearing this, the female leader trembled and dared not harbor the slightest thought of disobedience.
She glanced at Lin Qiye in terror, then, like a startled rabbit, abruptly lowered her head and continued in a hoarse, trembling voice:
"Yes...yes..."
"The High Priest... is... the most powerful guardian of Jingkong City... her power... is unfathomable..."
"We...we are just one of the most...most ordinary combat squads under the High Priest."
She swallowed hard and continued to add more.
"The Lord of Black Mountain... is the greatest threat to our Pure Sky City... The High Priest has been looking for an opportunity to completely eliminate this major threat."
"We...we never imagined...we would...meet someone like you...here..."
Lin Qiye was naturally skeptical of her words.
The four women each possess genuine and extraordinary abilities.
This lineup, according to the female leader, was merely "one of the most ordinary combat squads."
And that so-called High Priest, as the strongest in Jingkong City, could he... also be at the Mysterious Realm? Or even above it?
Have the humans of the Abyss truly become this powerful?
Lin Qiye's heart was filled with doubts.
His eyes, burning with golden flames, fell once more on the female leader, and he calmly asked, "Have you seen any other humans?"
Upon hearing this question, a hint of undisguised panic and fear flashed in the female leader's eyes.
She instinctively avoided Lin Qiye's gaze and stammered, "No...no...we...we've always lived under the protection of Jingkong City and have never seen...other humans..."
Before the words were finished—
boom--!!!!!!
Lin Qiye's eyes suddenly turned cold, and that domineering and unparalleled sixth-level extreme martial intent, like an invisible golden mountain, once again crashed down!
"Ugh—!!!"
The female leader, along with her two companions, were completely overwhelmed by the terrifying torrent of will before they could even muster the slightest thought of resistance!
They felt as if their mental world had been struck hard by a meteorite falling from the sky, their minds buzzing and stars flashing before their eyes!
The three of them let out a muffled groan, and blood gushed uncontrollably from their mouths and noses. Their already weak bodies collapsed to the ground, as if all their strength had been drained.
Lin Qiye looked down indifferently at the three women struggling in pain on the ground, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion.
"My patience is limited."
"Whoever speaks first gets to rest."
Another woman spoke first.
She lay on the ground, her body trembling violently, almost sobbing.
"I've met...I've seen..."
"We've thrown him into the dungeon..."
Heavenly Prison?
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
The female leader and her companion stared intently at the woman who had spoken, their eyes filled with resentment and murderous intent.
However, the woman was already terrified by Lin Qiye's godlike methods, and at this moment she no longer cared about her companion's threat.
"It's...it's the Heavenly Prison...on the very top floor of our Pure Sky City..."
"All...all humans who have strayed into this abyss from the outside world...will be...caught and taken in..."
"Perform... 'purification'..."
Purification?
Liu Ruyan and Lin Qiye's expressions immediately darkened.
Liu Ruyan: "What purification?!"
In the context of the abyss, the word "purification" has never been associated with holiness.
It often represents... the bloodiest and cruelest assimilation rituals, or even... human sacrifice!
The woman was startled by Liu Ruyan's sudden outburst of aura, shrank back, and dared not say another word.
Lin Qiye glanced calmly at Liu Ruyan, signaling her to calm down.
Then, his eyes, burning with golden flames, fell on the woman once more.
This time, he did not unleash that terrifying martial will, but his calm gaze alone sent a chill down the woman's spine, as if her very soul had been seen through.
"Continue," Lin Qiye said, his voice still calm.
"Yes...yes..." The woman dared not conceal anything and quickly continued, "The high priest said...humans from the outside world...are all burdened with...'filth'...and must undergo...a sacred ritual...to wash away their sins...in order...to gain...a new life..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her eyes filled with fear.
Clearly, even she herself was filled with awe and fear regarding the so-called "purification".
Lin Qiye's heart sank.
Although the other party's explanation was vague, he had a general idea of what the so-called "purification" was.
It's nothing more than using some kind of evil ritual to completely transform these humans who have strayed into the abyss into one of them, turning them into "abyssal humans" just like them.
Even worse...
"How many people are imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison?" Lin Qiye continued to ask.
The woman thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, "I don't know the specifics... I only know that... it's been happening... bit by bit..."
They've been coming in one after another...
Lin Qiye's gaze grew increasingly cold.
He remained silent for a moment, his gaze slowly sweeping over the three women in front of him who were already terrified, before finally settling back on the female leader.
The female leader felt his gaze and her body trembled violently. Almost instinctively, she tried to bury her head even deeper.
However, Lin Qiye's next words made her freeze on the spot.
"Which direction is Jingkong City?" His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "How long would it take you to return at full speed?"
Upon hearing this, the female leader abruptly raised her head, and for the first time, her eyes, which had long since lost all their luster, revealed extreme fear and resistance.
She looked into Lin Qiye's emotionless golden eyes and didn't have a single thought of resistance.
She knew that she... had absolutely no choice.
Finally, she slowly lowered her proud head and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's...it's in that direction...it'll probably take about two hours..."
Lin Qiye nodded, then continued, "How many people like you are there in Jingkong City?"
The female leader's face turned deathly pale instantly, and a look of extreme terror and struggle flashed in her eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly, remaining silent.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qiye's lips curled into a cold smile.
He didn't say anything, he just calmly raised his hand.
The three women were terrified when they saw this action!
"No! Don't!"
"I'll talk! I'll talk!" The third woman could no longer endure this excruciating mental torture and completely broke down!
She screamed in terror and told them everything!
"Three...only three in the entire Jingkong City!"
