Chapter 150 - 148 If You’re Not Convinced, Come and Hit Me (Third Update)
The High Priest’s hands trembled slightly within the folds of his robe, the age spots on the back of his hands exceptionally clear.
"But the Big Peacock has been in a coma for 900 years. The food you’ve refined is nothing but junk food for him. He’s not conscious and only knows to eat and reproduce under instinct. You thought of using dream infiltration to seize the Lord’s Life Soul. In this way, no one would know how the Lord died, and you could control the Big Peacock and thus gain the supreme power of Langqi Island!"
Yun Qi’s soft voice landed, her gaze sharp. Her tone and demeanor were like a stern Little Immortal.
The Lord stood up, his black eyes looking at the High Priest, "High Priest, is everything she said true? You want to kill me?"
The High Priest remained silent, then chuckled coldly, "Yes, Lord, you’ve been such a disappointment. Look around. Does Langqi Island now still resemble what it used to be?"
"What was it like before? What do you want it to be like?!" The Lord finally regained the imposing manner of the island’s ruler, loudly questioning him.
"You’ve set up hotels and developed tourism, gaining the reputation of a wise lord through reform. But look, how many remember our Pope or our ancient teachings? The deities people once worshipped now only exist during the annual grand sacrificial ceremonies. This isn’t the way I wanted it to be!"
"That’s because you’re old. It’s not that I did anything wrong; it’s you who have been cast aside by time! Langqi Island is surrounded by sea, yet you want to cage it with iron bars. You’re the crazy one, not me!" The Lord’s roars were deafening.
Yun Qi blinked her phoenix-like eyes, noticing that when the Lord got angry, he was still quite spirited. She had been so scared by the Big Peacock these past few days she thought he was a coward.
"High Priest, you are so righteous, so I want to know, why are these several resort hotels registered under your name?" Jiapeng suddenly entered.
