Chapter 1388 - 906: The Token of the Young Priest
"The High Priest has instructed that you wait in the ’Cheng Hall,’ please follow me!" said a guard, then led Lin Feng into the sect mansion.Inside the sect mansion, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were not many buildings, but each structure was imposing, grand and magnificent.
Cheng Hall was a side hall. The guard led Lin Feng through a tree-lined path, and before long they reached Cheng Hall.
The hall was decorated in a quaint style, a spacious living room with the Witch Clan’s clan emblem adorning the walls.
Subsequently, the guard asked Lin Feng to wait in the hall and then left with large strides.
Lin Feng sat in the hall, surveyed the surroundings, and then quietly waited.
He waited for more than two hours until noon, when there was a fluctuation in the hall’s space, and suddenly the High Priest’s figure appeared on the main seat.
"Greetings to the High Priest!" Upon seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly rose and cupped his hands.
"Hmm! Sit down!" The High Priest nodded slightly, indicating for Lin Feng to sit.
After a moment, the High Priest pondered a bit, looked at Lin Feng with a burning gaze, and asked: "Wu Chen, how many battle souls do you have?"
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, felt a slight tremor in his heart. Staring at the High Priest, he felt as if he was being seen through.
Thoughts raced in Lin Feng’s mind, rapidly considering how to respond to the counterpart, wondering if during the battle with the Witch King he had been discovered using the Dream Demon Battle Soul?
He dared not conceal this, for if the counterpart has discovered it and he conceals it, he would definitely arouse suspicion.
"Honorable High Priest, I have... three battle souls!" Lin Feng said solemnly. He originally intended to say two battle souls, which are the Dream Demon Battle Soul and the Sword Battle Soul.
But as he started to speak, he suddenly thought of an important issue and immediately decided on three battle souls.
This important issue pertains to Wu Chen’s own battle soul.
In the Witch Clan, Wu Chen, although not well-known, is after all an Emperor Realm Martial Artist, and has lived in the clan for many years, with many in Black Brilliance City aware of his battle soul.
It’s just that Wu Chen’s Demon Leopard Battle Soul was dissipated upon his death and was not absorbed by Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng couldn’t ignore this issue, so he could only brace himself and claim to have three battle souls.
"Which three battle souls?" the High Priest asked upon hearing this, a splendid gleam flashing in his deep eyes, as the Three-Life Battle Soul has never existed in the Tianming Star Witch Clan lineage.
"Cloud Evil Leopard Battle Soul, Sword Battle Soul, and Heavenly Illusion Battle Soul!" Lin Feng said with an unchanged expression.
Wu Chen’s Demon Leopard Battle Soul was called Cloud Evil Leopard Battle Soul.
As for the Heavenly Illusion Battle Soul, he completely made up the name. He certainly couldn’t tell the counterpart that his battle soul is the Dream Demon Battle Soul.
Anyway, this special battle soul cannot be discerned without truly experiencing the power of the battle soul.
"According to my sources, you’ve only revealed the Cloud Evil Leopard Battle Soul before, why hide the other battle souls?" the High Priest asked calmly, evidently having some doubts regarding ’Wu Chen.’
Lin Feng’s heart was tense to the extreme, it seemed the counterpart had investigated him, perhaps the counterpart currently does not suspect his identity, but if he shows any flaw, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
However, he had some assurance, since Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er had already been killed by him, with no evidence to prove otherwise, no one knows that the real Wu Chen has already died.
"Honorable High Priest, I had no standing in the clan before, aware that overly strong talent could incite jealousy from others, so I’ve never showcased it!"
Lin Feng endeavored to maintain a calm demeanor and smile: "For years, I’ve harbored a determination to soar during the Junior Officer selection, and now I’ve achieved it!"
The High Priest slightly nods upon hearing this and smiles faintly: "You indeed achieved it, becoming the Junior Officer of the clan is merely the beginning of showcasing your talent."
After speaking, the High Priest flipped his palm, and a black iron plate the size of a palm appeared, which he then tossed to Lin Feng.
"This is the Junior Priest Token of our Tianming Star lineage, with this token you shall possess supreme power, capable of commanding countless clan members!" the High Priest stated.
Lin Feng reached out to take the token and glanced at it, observing a large Witch Clan emblem engraved on the token, with four ancient small characters "Tianming-Junior Officer" beneath it!
This Junior Priest Token’s material remains unknown, feeling scorching hot in hand, akin to a branding iron.
"Thank you, High Priest!" Lin Feng stored the Junior Priest Token into the storage ring, then gravely cupped his hands towards the High Priest.
"Hmm! You shall reside in the sect mansion henceforth! Within the sect mansion is a passage to the ancestor land, allowing you access anytime!" the High Priest said.
"Thank you, High Priest, for your guidance and nurture, I shall remember it forever!" Lin Feng expressed gratitude once again.
The ancestor land is forbidden within the Witch Clan, accessible only to the Clan Leader, Priests, Junior Officers, and core elders, housing the clan’s inheritance.
It is said that entering the ancestor land guarantees immense fortune.
In the past, Wu Tianyu had the opportunity to enter the ancestor land due to his contributions.
However, Wu Tianyu’s time spent in the ancestor land was too brief, resulting in meager fortune.
Though the opportunity to enter the ancestor land is of great importance, Lin Feng remains unconcerned, currently preoccupied with how to gather information on Qingxuan.
"Hmm, it’s good that you have the intention!" the High Priest nodded slightly, displaying a satisfied smile.
"High Priest, I have a question, may I ask?" With a brief consideration, Lin Feng bit his lip in determination and spoke.
"What is your question?" the High Priest inquired.
"High Priest, has our clan tracked the whereabouts of that Lin Feng?" Lin Feng asked solemnly, intending to probe for information on Hong Qingxuan from the High Priest’s mouth, despite the immense danger, he has reason, thus not being overly abrupt.
