Chapter 373: Chapter 373: The First Time the Snake-man Clan Girl Deceived Someone

The Priestess, at this moment, was also very conflicted. Telling the tribespeople that Shi Feng was the prophetically foretold Divine Messenger, she did not know whether it was right or wrong.

But as things stood, if she did not deceive them, the great and supreme incarnation of the Eight Separation Divine Serpent signing a Master-Servant Contract with Shi Feng to become his servant—even though it was just an incarnation—would be unacceptable to them.

This was tantamount to an insult to the supremely divine being they revered in their hearts.

From the emotions shown by many just now, the Priestess could tell that if this development continued, one by one, for the dignity of the divine, for the honor of the Snake-man Race, and for the sake of the Zi Li incarnation, they might very well make the foolish act of a "moth to a flame."

The Eight Separation Divine Serpent held an unshakably deep and fixed place in the hearts of the Snake-man Race.

The Mad Demon who had obtained the powerful Purple Serpent Body would definitely not hand it over. If it were to be handed over, he would have done so voluntarily already.

Inside the Priest Hall, each Snake-man, originally coiled, listened to the Priestess’s words, and seeing the Priestess devoutly bowing to Shi Feng, immediately did the same, prostrating before Shi Feng.

However, there were still questions in their hearts. A meticulous Snake-man Clan woman asked, "Priest Lord, if Lord Shi Feng is indeed the messenger invisibly guided by the divine, then why does the divine’s incarnation need to sign a Master-Servant Contract with him, and even more so, why does the divine become his servant?"

"Yes, Priest Lord, why would the divine become Lord Shi Feng’s servant?"

"If Lord Shi Feng truly is the messenger invisibly guided here by the divine, then why does the divine need to sign a Master-Servant Contract with its incarnation, and moreover, why would the divine choose someone from the Human Clan as a messenger?"

"I understand now." At that moment, Princess Zi Ya spoke, "When I was in my spiritual soul space, the Purple Serpent Body suddenly awoke the divine’s memory, and said something profound and bizarre to me. I didn’t understand what the divine’s words meant at that time, but now I do!"

"What! The Divine Perception has awakened its memory!"

"Princess Zi Ya, what exactly did the divine say?"

"Yes! Princess Zi Ya, what did the divine say?"

..

Hearing Zi Ya’s words, the Snake-man Race once again showed dramatic changes in their expressions, excitement apparent, eager to know, they promptly asked Zi Ya.

Zi Ya began speaking slowly, "My Messenger, visiting our tribe, gathering my incarnations, I re-enter the world!" These words from Zi Ya were not actually spoken by any "divine," but were transmitted to her by the Priestess using a Secret Technique, instructing her to say such.

The naive Snake-man Clan Girl did not know why the Priestess wanted her to do this, but since the Priestess mentioned it was a matter of life and death for the tribespeople, the kind-hearted girl naturally did as told.

However, having never told a lie before, her face blushed with shame after she spoke those words.

But at that moment, the highly emotional Snake-man Race naturally did not notice these changes on Zi Ya’s face.

"My Messenger, visiting our tribe, gathering my incarnations, I re-enter the world.."

"My Messenger, visiting our tribe, gathering my incarnations, I re-enter the world.."

Each member of the Snake-man Race began to chant the so-called "divine" words spoken by Zi Ya.

"So it is, Lord Shi Feng truly is the chosen Messenger of the divine?" A few Snake-man, while chanting the words just spoken by Zi Ya, showed envy, respect, and excitement as they spoke.

The Snake-man Race had watched Zi Ya grow up from childhood and naturally believed in the character of this pure and kind child. They would not even think she could lie.

"It seems Lord Shi Feng truly is an undoubted Messenger." At this point, the Priestess looked at her tribespeople with a stern expression, saying, "Although I too am unclear why the divine would form a Master-Servant Contract with the Messenger Lord, since the divine has done so, there must be a divine purpose! And with the divine’s Messenger here and the divine’s incarnation having awakened its memory, perhaps the day of the divine’s return to the world is not far off."

"Yes! With the arrival of the Messenger, I believe the day when the divine returns and leads our tribe back to the glory of the Ancient Period is not far off! Greetings to the Messenger Lord, we welcome the arrival of the Messenger Lord!"

"Greetings to the Messenger Lord, we welcome the arrival of the Messenger Lord!"

"Greetings to the Messenger Lord, we welcome the arrival of the Messenger Lord!"

..

Under the words of the Priestess and Zi Ya, the Snake-man Race was finally swayed at that moment, their emotions stirred, as they once again prostrated toward Shi Feng, their voices echoing throughout the Priest Hall.

Seeing her tribespeople like this, the Priestess finally quietly sighed in relief. With how things stood now, the tribespeople would likely not commit the foolish act of a "moth to a flame."

However, the Priestess immediately remembered a key person, the most critical person, that was Shi Feng.

After recalling the transformed Purple Snake back into the space within his little finger, Shi Feng quietly watched these Snake-man, once again reverently kneeling toward him, shouting "Messenger!"

Having heard the words of the Priestess earlier, now hearing Zi Ya’s words, others might not have noticed the fluctuations on Zi Ya’s face, but Shi Feng had long noticed. Having been a person in two lifetimes, he gradually understood something. Then he said to the Snake-man, "Alright, rise all of you!"

At Shi Feng’s command, each Snake-man slowly raised their heads to look at Shi Feng, their lower snake bodies also gently rising.

This trip through the Snake-man Race, he had achieved his aim, and even obtained the unplanned gains of the Demon Eye and Purple Serpent Body. Although his purpose was achieved, the issue with Zi Ya had not been resolved yet, that being the Dark Elf Clan.

Even if he was to leave the desert, Shi Feng would have to wait until the Dark Elf Clan issue was completely resolved before going.

Shi Feng looked toward the Priestess, saying, "Take this lord to the Dark Elf Clan. I am pressed for time now and cannot afford to stay in the desert. I must resolve them quickly." Heaven Injury Life Extending Pill, he had now collected eleven ingredients, still needing twenty-six more, and he must hurry to collect the rest.

"Brother Shi Feng, are you going to the Dark Elf Clan?" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Zi Ya thought of something. At this moment, the naive girl came back to her senses. The Brother Shi Feng she saw this time was so different from the one she had interacted with before. He had not only entered her consciousness space and fiercely battled the Purple Serpent Body, defeating it, but had also become the revered Divine Messenger, with the tribespeople looking at him with eyes full of respect.

At that time, Zi Lin approached Zi Ya and whispered, "Fourth sister, Lord Shi Feng, he is the same Shi Feng talked about recently in the Human Clan!"

"What!" Hearing Zi Lin’s words, Zi Ya was immediately taken aback, Shi Feng! Mad Demon Shi Feng! The Shi Feng who had killed a Four-star Martial Venerable of the Human Clan!
