Chapter 1186: Chapter 1185: Are You Sure You’ve Lived Long Enough? (3 more updates)

Ye Haochuan had never experienced such a bloody slaughter before, the feeling of uninhibited harvesting made him intoxicated. He finally understood why there were so many people who enjoyed brutal killing; indeed, the sensation was thrilling.

Before long, a third of the people in the square, including those who fled, were gone.

Ye Haochuan did not continue to kill those who were useless, and directly charged at the Old Woman. It was clear that among everyone present, the Old Woman was the most important figure. As long as she was killed, everyone else would be a scattered mess.

The middle-aged man had been lurking in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity. Seeing Ye Haochuan rushing at the Old Woman, he could no longer care about anything else and swiftly welcomed the attack.

”Do you really think you can block me?” Ye Haochuan sneered disdainfully, the gold on the Divine Concealment Sword turned to red.

”Sword Flash!”

Ye Haochuan’s figure flashed and vanished, instantly appearing in front of the Old Woman. Along the way, everyone’s bodies, including the middle-aged man, were pierced through on the spot.

Seeing the middle-aged man fall to the ground with a shocked expression, everyone’s legs trembled uncontrollably.

”How could he be so powerful? He looks like he’s only at the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

”Elder Stephen was killed instantly, how are we supposed to fight?”

”Fight what? Run!”

The crowd broke into chaos, and soon someone started to flee, causing everyone to scatter like frightened birds.

”You... who are you really?” The Old Woman was no longer as calm as before, her voice trembling.

How could this old geezer truly not have any cultivation?

Ye Haochuan’s disdain was palpable; he had feared the Old Woman before, but now realized she was just a paper tiger.

”Who I am doesn’t matter, what I want to know now is, who are you?” Ye Haochuan said with great interest.

”She is the priestess here, in charge of presiding over the rituals!” Before the Old Woman could answer, Yue Deng interrupted.

At the moment Ye Haochuan made his move, Yue Deng was assigned to rescue Lin Zixuan. With his Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation, the task was easily completed.

However, Lin Zixuan had been subjected to some means, and he still couldn’t awaken her, so he could only hold her in his arms.

”Priests don’t have any cultivation?” Ye Haochuan asked with confusion.

”Not necessarily, normally priests must be experts at the Core Formation Stage or above. This old geezer is probably an extraordinary exception.” Yue Deng said with a pout.

Ye Haochuan wore a puzzled expression, scrutinized the Old Woman once more, and then smiled with interest, ”Since you have no cultivation, I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you answer a few questions, I’ll let you go, how about it?”

”This old hag has lived long enough, this life isn’t worth much anymore. If you want it, take it; as for your questions, I won’t answer a word.” The Old Woman regained her composure from the momentary shock, seemingly ready to accept death.

”Twenty-some years old, are you sure you’ve really lived enough?” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

The Old Woman’s face suddenly changed, staring at Ye Haochuan in disbelief. ”You... how do you know?”

Ye Haochuan snorted coldly, reached into the Old Woman’s bosom, and retrieved a black token.

The token was icy to the touch, like a piece of ice. It was this token that gave an extremely dangerous feeling.

Ye Haochuan felt frustrated; when he first saw the Old Woman, it was this token that made his heart race, and he dared not inspect it closely. Otherwise, he would have discovered the anomaly earlier.

The token left her body, and the ”Old Woman” instantly seemed to lose all strength, collapsing softly to the ground. Her appearance underwent a drastic change in an instant, yet remained old.

”How could this happen? What did you do to me?” Feeling completely weak, the ”Old Woman” asked in terror.

Just as Ye Haochuan had said, she was actually only in her twenties, how could she appear as aged as seventy?

Ye Haochuan smirked, ”It’s not what I did to you, it’s what that real priestess did. In order for you to use this token, she forcibly extracted your vitality. Now, your vitality is depleted, and there’s no cure!”

”No, Priestess Misi wouldn’t do that. You must have done something, you’re lying to me.” The Old Woman said in despair.

Ye Haochuan didn’t bother explaining; she was brainwashed and wouldn’t understand no matter how much he explained.

”Ghost Escape Technique!”

A moment later, Ye Haochuan read all the Old Woman’s memories.

Turns out, this Old Woman was just a child picked up by the real Priestess Misi, without any cultivation aptitude, and served as the priestess’s servant, taking care of her meals.

When Ye Haochuan appeared, the priestess discovered his presence. Somehow determining she was no match for him, she used the girl to disguise herself and deceive Ye Haochuan.

As for the purpose of these actions, the priestess didn’t explain to the Old Woman, only instructing her to do what she was told. Even those words she said earlier were taught to her by the priestess.

Even Ye Haochuan had to admit, the priestess was indeed formidable. Especially the part about knowing Yue Deng’s master, it was a perfect performance. If not for his unique eyes, he might have been fooled.

Continuing to investigate, Ye Haochuan did not miss a single detail.

A moment later, his face changed abruptly, and he clenched his teeth.

In the Old Woman’s memory, the person originally meant to be the sacrifice was Lin Qingxuan, not the current Lin Zixuan. Obviously, the priestess had swapped them imperceptibly.

”Damn it, I hit a dead end!” Ye Haochuan punched the wall, feeling a sense of defeat.

He originally thought he had stealthily infiltrated the Dark Church, only to realize he had been discovered long ago and was mercilessly schemed against.

”Yue Deng, can you find any clues on Qingxuan?”

Yue Deng quickly inspected the basement that held Lin Zixuan, then said dejectedly, ”Impossible, someone professionally handled it, not even a trace of aura left.”

Ye Haochuan’s heart sank; the priestess indeed knew Yue Deng’s master, and upon noticing the Loathe-God Pearl, had guessed Yue Deng’s capabilities, so destroyed all clues at great lengths.

Ye Haochuan was sure the priestess deliberately delayed time to give herself enough time to handle everything, preventing him from rescuing the true ”Dark Body.”

Moreover, if the delay was sufficient, reinforcements would arrive. At that point, they could capture Ye Haochuan in one fell swoop.

However, she clearly didn’t expect Ye Haochuan to strike before the ritual even began, and his swift actions almost instantly destroyed all their previous efforts.

Ye Haochuan was disdainful of the priestess; she was indeed meticulous and comprehensive in calculations, but cowardly, fearing even the slightest danger.

If she hadn’t used a servant to impersonate herself, Ye Haochuan would have had to work harder to grasp the situation here.

”Alliance Hierarch, perhaps we should leave here? Since the priestess knows about your prowess, she will surely gather experts to hunt you down. If we don’t leave, there might be danger.” Yue Deng suddenly advised.
