Chapter 539: Coercing the High Priest

The chief priest frowned, not knowing what he was up to.

In the past, Chen Shi was forced by him to complete the magic skill Xuanyin Jiutian Jue, but it was obvious that Chen Shi was not happy about demonizing the entire world. Now, can Chen Shi be kind enough to give Chu Feng Taiqing Purple Qi to help him break through?
"Did he awaken his past memories and become a demon?"

The high priest felt awe-inspiring.

Chen Shi in normal times still has principles. Although he looks evil, he is generally decent. However, the demonized Chen Shi will use any means to achieve his goals.

He was very worried that Chen Shi would take advantage of him, seize his power, and monopolize the capital!
Chen Shi took out a jade box and gently pushed it in front of the high priest.

"There is a wisp of Taiqing purple qi in it. Refining the purple qi is enough to allow Chu Feng to break through to the Lianxu realm. When he cultivates to the Shenjiang realm, Chu Feng activates the Xuanyin Jiutian Jue and uses the outer true god to comprehend the devil's way, so that he can pollute the true god."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "With your cultivation, you are enough to help Chu Feng refine this ray of Taiqing purple energy."

The chief priest looked at the jade box in front of him. Jade is often used to make storage treasures. It can store elixirs and spiritual energy. What Chen Shi pushed over was just an ordinary jade box. There was no way to completely block the spiritual energy inside, causing the spiritual energy to leak out.

Just the slightest bit of spiritual energy that leaked out made him feel like he was in a fairyland.

He had never heard of Taiqing Purple Qi, but based on the leaked spiritual energy alone, he could conclude that this spiritual energy was extraordinary.

The chief priest accepted the jade box and said, "Your Majesty sent me spiritual energy, it must be for a purpose. I want to know what your Majesty's purpose is?"

Chen Shi said frankly: "I will give you three days to help Chu Feng refine this ray of Taiqing purple energy. You must do all this within three days. If you can't do it, I will come back and take away all your power."

His eyes were warm and he smiled, "I mean what I say."

The chief priest snorted and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you and I are only one step apart now. Your Majesty's life and death are in my hands."

Chen Shi smiled slightly: "Maybe not?"

His aura burst out, and in an instant, the entire God was covered by his void realm!
The chief priest said calmly, "Since Your Majesty is willing to try, I have no choice but to oblige Your Majesty."

He raised his hand and pointed at Chen Shi's eyebrows.

As he raised his hand, the scenery around him suddenly changed rapidly like a kaleidoscope. The streets and buildings of the Divine Capital flashed past him. The high priest looked forward and saw his front hall, Chen Shi and Chu Feng in the living room of the mansion, all in the same place, but he was moving away.

He was clearly sitting there, yet he had already arrived outside the city. The picturesque mountains on both sides were rapidly moving away, and in an instant he was exiled thousands of miles away!

The high priest's face darkened and he circulated his magic power. The green witch Taoist patterns on his palms intertwined, and a green ghost hand instantly penetrated the space and went straight to Chen Shi's heart who was thousands of miles away!

Back then, he relied on this skill to penetrate the void, see through the yin and yang worlds, and grasp Chen Shi's heart from afar in the Divine Capital, controlling Chen Shi's life and death.

Now he did the same thing, and he had no intention of killing Chen Shi, but to let Chen Shi know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. Back then, he was able to control Chen Shi and support Chen Shi to become the Demon King, and now he can still control Chen Shi!
The green ghost hand instantly penetrated through thousands of miles of space, went deep into the city of God, and was about to arrive at the residence of the high priest.

Suddenly, the space in front of the front hall expanded wildly. No matter how fast the green ghost hand was, or how much void it penetrated, it was always two meters away from Chen Shi in the living room.

Chen Shi looked at him from a distance of thousands of miles, holding up his teacup and saluted him from afar.

The high priest's face suddenly changed. He immediately stood up from his chair, ran wildly, and chased over here.

His green ghost hand still reached forward, trying to grab Chen Shi's heart. Coupled with his running speed, it immediately exceeded the speed of the expansion of space around Chen Shi!

The high priest came roaring, and a space of a thousand miles was under his feet. In just a short moment, he had entered the house and returned to the front door of his mansion!

He rushed into the front hall, and when his palm was about to pierce Chen Shi's chest, suddenly a wisteria appeared behind Chen Shi's head, shaking like a long whip, and slapped the palm of the high priest with a snap!

Wherever the power of the Purple Sky Vine reached, the green witch priest patterns suddenly exploded. The high priest suddenly retracted his hand, and his palms and fingers trembled constantly, as his skin and flesh were torn by the Purple Sky Vine.

The attack of the Purple Sky Vine may seem weak, but this thing is a special species that can help immortals survive the catastrophe. It is extremely powerful. If the High Priest had not retracted his hand in time after being hit like this, even his hand bones would have been broken!
Chen Shi still sat there, smiling, and raised his hand and said, "Grand Priest, please take a seat."

The high priest was about to make a move, but he found himself back at the tea table, and the chair that was thousands of miles away had returned behind him, as if it had never left.

The chief priest was silent for a moment, then sat down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat. Your Majesty, please rest assured that within three days, I will help Chu Feng refine the Taiqing Purple Qi."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."

After they chatted for a while, Chen Shi stood up to say goodbye politely. The chief priest saw him off attentively, and both the host and the guests were very happy.

After sending Chen Shi away, the high priest looked at his right hand which was beaten to pieces, his face darkened, and his palm trembled slightly involuntarily.

The attack from the Purple Sky Vine caught him off guard and severed his witch priest's Taoist pattern. It was so painful that he could hardly bear it!
"The reason why Chen Shi wanted to stay and exchange a few words with me was simply because he wanted to see me make a fool of myself. But how could I do as he wished?"

The high priest grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, trying to suppress the piercing pain. His face was distorted with pain, and he thought to himself, "I will at least hold on until he leaves!"

After Chen Shi left Shendu, he suddenly stumbled and his legs became weak. He hurried to steady himself, only to feel the muscles in his legs still sore and shaking.

He had just deliberately provoked the High Priest and was taking a great risk. The High Priest's strength was unfathomable and far beyond his reach, and his aura was extremely strong, suppressing him to the point where he could hardly breathe.

Moreover, the shadow of his childhood always loomed over him, reminding him of the severe pain gripping his heart from time to time.

But the sense of oppression he felt from the high priest came more from the eight years after his death.

At that time, the high priest had been threatening him with his life and the life of his mother Wu Qingyu.

When he faced the High Priest, he had been overcoming this fear and using his Taoism to the fullest.

"I did it."

Chen Shi calmed down, smiled, and whispered, "Besides, I also plotted against him. The High Priest is not invincible." He laughed and floated away: "High Priest, I will avenge my grudge in the future!"

In the capital, the high priest suppressed his injuries and suddenly realized that it was much quieter outside.

In the past, the God City was very noisy because there were too many demons living here. Every demon was unruly and wars broke out from time to time, and sometimes disasters could not suppress the demons. If an ordinary cultivator came to the God City, he would feel that his head was filled with all kinds of voices, which were thoughts of demons, disasters, and disasters.

But now, the gods have suddenly become quiet.

"Chu Feng, go outside and see what happened." The high priest ordered.

Chu Feng replied, and walked out of the mansion. After a while, the young man came back and reported, "Master, there are many fewer people in the city!"

"A lot of people are missing?"

The high priest was shocked and hurried out of the house. He saw that there were still many demons on the streets of the capital, but there were fewer disasters and calamities!
The remaining disasters and disasters also avoided his gaze when they saw him and did not make eye contact with him.

The chief priest frowned slightly and said to a Taoist priest, "Tianyou Daoist friend, where are the other Daoists?"

The Taoist was originally a Taoist priest of the Taoist Temple. He was extremely gifted and later realized the secret of becoming an immortal. However, he realized that if he became an immortal, he would become a demon. In order to achieve immortality, he had to become a demon, but he tried his best to control his sanity and had to exile himself to the underworld.

It was not until he met Chen Shi and the High Priest that he regained some of his sanity and settled down in the capital of gods. He therefore had great respect for Chen Shi and the High Priest.

"High Priest, just now your Majesty's great void realm enveloped the capital of Gods, and suddenly all the evil spirits in us disappeared, and we turned from evil spirits back into humans."

Tianyou Tianshi said, "They thought that this world did not have to be demonized, and there were other possibilities, so they left the city and followed His Majesty."

The High Priest's heart sank. Chen Shi's previous purpose was not just to confront him and let him know that he was now very powerful. He might have another purpose, which was to tell him that Chen Shi could completely disintegrate the Divine Capital and deprive him of all power!
"Fellow Daoist Tianyou, why don't you leave?" asked the high priest.

Tianyou Tianshi said respectfully, "This is the Divine Capital. Your Majesty is the Divine Emperor of the Divine Capital. Why should we leave the Divine Capital to follow Your Majesty? Moreover, the High Priest is the backbone of the Divine Capital. As for the elimination of the evil spirit, it is only temporary. If we don't get rid of the True Gods, the evil spirit will remain forever. And to get rid of the True Gods, there is only one way, which is to demonize the True Gods. Those Taoist friends who left will sooner or later realize this and return to the Divine Capital."

The chief priest said happily: "You have thought it through, my friend."

Tianyou Tianshi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, when can we demonize the True God from the outer world? If we don't see results in a short period of time, we may lose the support of the people, and other Taoist friends may also leave the capital of gods."

The chief priest said with a smile: "In three days at most, the outer true god will be demonized! This world will be changed by the demonized true god and become a pure land belonging to our God Clan!"

When he said this, his heart was slightly shaken: "Chen Shi is disturbing the hearts of the people in the God City. I am afraid his purpose is to force me to help Chu Feng refine the Taiqing Purple Qi and become a demonized true god within three days!"

He had a feeling of being played around by Chen Shi. This feeling was a level of humiliation and helplessness that Chen Shi had never experienced before when he was coerced by him!

The demonized Chen Shi who was coerced by him to do what he wanted was probably no longer in existence. Instead, there was a Chen Shi who was very powerful and intelligent!
"No matter what, I can't lose the support of the people in the capital of gods! But then again, what is Chen Shi's purpose in forcing me to demonize the true god from outer space?" He became more and more confused.

The chief priest hurried back to the mansion and called Chu Feng, and immediately opened the jade box to refine the wisp of Taiqing purple air. Outside the mansion, Tianyou Tianshi left and was soon stopped by a monk and a Taoist priest.

Dao Chengzi transmitted the message: "Brother Tianyou, what did you say to the High Priest?"

Tianyou Tianshi said: "I told him that the reason I stayed was because demonizing the true God was the only way. He believed it."

Monk Huikong couldn't help but ask, "My two Taoist friends, will the High Priest find out that he has been sidelined in the Divine Capital?"

Dao Chengzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Compared to becoming demons, we would rather turn back into humans. If Your Majesty shows such abilities, it will naturally attract disasters to follow him."

Monk Huikong said: "But most of those who stayed behind are people who have already submitted to Your Majesty."

Tianyou Tianshi said: "The high priest still has followers... Shut up, Song Yi is here!"

Confucian scholar Song Yi came over, looked at the three people, and suddenly said: "Although you didn't leave, you betrayed the High Priest and waited for an opportunity to harm him, right? You are in trouble!"

The three were terrified and were about to kill him, but the scholar Song Yi said with a smile, "But if you take me with you, I won't report you!"

The three men almost killed him, but when they heard this, they quietly dispersed their magical powers. Dao Chengzi said, "You are a merchant, why do you want to betray the high priest?"

Song Yi said: "If the plan of the High Priest succeeds, the Shang people will just completely turn into ghosts, no different from the current ghosts. But if Your Majesty succeeds, the ghosts can turn back into humans. I will make my own judgment on what is more important and what is right."

"Okay, you'll be one of them!"

Not long after Chen Shi left the capital, he suddenly laughed and said, "Why are you following me? You are a disaster and you cannot return to the world of the living."

Behind him, many strange people walked out, including monks, Taoists, Confucian scholars, and some who were obviously independent people.

The leader was Dan Chengzi, who had once hidden in the abyss of Chen Shi's sea of ​​consciousness. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, we were shocked to see your great realm of emptiness. We believe that your path is the right one, so we follow you."

Most of these monks, Confucianists and Taoists are the predecessors of the six holy places, and some of the older generations of the scattered organizations are rumored to have died long ago. They practiced to a high level and began to turn evil before they merged with the Tao, and had to hide in the underworld. They followed Chen Shi and the chief priest to build the capital of gods because Chen Shi could demonize the true gods outside the sky and turn the entire Xiniu Island into a demonic world to solve their evil transformation.

But now, Chen Shi showed his other side of refining evil spirits and restoring the natural world, so they immediately abandoned the high priest and followed Chen Shi.

Chen Shi bowed and said with a smile: "You are all seniors, and you are the best among the scattered people. With your help, great things can be expected! However, disasters will occur when you enter the world of the living. Please be patient and go to Houde Palace to wait for good news."

All the disasters returned the favor.

Chen Shi's mind moved slightly, and he had already returned to the world of the living from the underworld.

He rode the wind and soon arrived outside the Yonghe Palace in the imperial city. Chen Yindu, Xiaowu, Wuqi, Yang Bi, Li Tianqing and Xiaolinden Fairy were already waiting in front of the palace. Zhong Wuwang had already prepared the chariot and stood beside it.

Chen Shi descended diagonally and said with a smile, "Let's go to the Slope of Despair!"
