Chapter 290: Chapter 288 The Death of the Bo People’s Priest

Shangguan Qiu hid in a tree outside the Clan Leader’s house, a Invisibility Talisman stuck on her body.

The method to make this Invisibility Talisman was taught to her by Qin Zhao. Their Heavenly Master Sect was gradually declining, and many formidable skills had been lost.

Shangguan Qiu hid here to eavesdrop on the secrets of the Bo People.

Shangguan Jing wanted to know what secrets Decline Cliff held and why the Clan Leader was so secretive about it.

So he had her hide here, hoping she could uncover some useful information.

They would go to Decline Cliff later to search for someone, the sooner they obtained useful information, the better prepared they would be if something unexpected happened.

Bai Qi walked toward the Clan Leader’s house.

A young man stood at the door, "Where were you this morning? We need to hurry and send the Priest to Decline Cliff, it’ll be too late once it gets dark. If we are still at Decline Cliff after dark, something bad will definitely happen!"

"What’s the rush?" Bai Qi said coldly, his gaze towards the young man unfluctuating.

His attitude was completely different compared to how he treated Qin Zhao, almost too attentive when dealing with him.

Chu Yan’s intuition was accurate.

Bai Qi indeed harbored ill intentions towards Qin Zhao.

"Tomorrow you’ll be our new Priest," the young man continued, "Your mother said you wanted to go outside, but a Priest cannot leave, you can’t leave the Bo People in your lifetime."

Bai Qi sneered.

"Nothing can stop me."

"What do you mean by that? You’re becoming the Priest, what more could you ask for? Once the Clan Leader passes the Cultivation Technique to you, you could live for hundreds of years.

Besides, our people who went outside never ended up well. Have you forgotten about the one who went to university? He ended up dying in an accident."

"It was just one accident, that doesn’t mean it happens to everyone."

"Uncle used to do business outside too, he almost had an accident as well, luckily he came back in time."

"Enough, stop talking," Bai Qi hissed coldly, obviously not wanting to hear any more nonsense.

Seeing his anger, the young man got upset as well.

"If you really want to leave, then I must tell the Clan Leader, you can’t be the Priest! If you can’t be the Priest, then I might be able to become the Priest!"

Bai Qi suddenly grabbed the young man’s neck and pinned him against the wall.

"You can try it," he warned darkly, "I want the position of the Priest too."

The young man was frightened and looked at him in fear, unable to speak.

After a while, Bai Qi let go of the young man.

He walked into the Clan Leader’s house with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.

Shangguan Qiu had been hiding in the tree all along, so she had heard their conversation.

She frowned in confusion. What Priest, Cultivation Technique? Was it related to Decline Cliff?

When the Clan Leader was out, Shangguan Qiu had installed a listening device in his house. So when Bai Qi entered the Clan Leader’s house, she could still hear their conversation.

"Little Qi, the former Priest has already told you how to hang the suspended coffin, today you will go together. Be careful on the road, the former Priest will protect you."

"I got it, what about the Cultivation Technique?"

The Clan Leader handed Bai Qi an ancient sheepskin scroll. This was something every Priest needed to master to protect the Bo People and guard Decline Cliff.

Furthermore, it contained the reasons why Decline Cliff must be guarded.

After receiving it, Bai Qi quickly read through it at the scene.

"Let’s go, we need to send him over now."

He referred to the remains of the former Priest.

The Clan Leader nodded, "Hurry, you need to be back before it gets dark."

"Got it."

Bai Qi took the Sheepskin Scroll and walked away with the young man.

The young man was his assistant, helping him place the former Priest’s coffin at Decline Cliff. This task was quite challenging to do alone.

But they couldn’t have too many people, as it would be difficult to ensure their safety with a large crowd.

Besides, if Bai Qi happened to die unexpectedly, this young man would succeed as the Priest.

When Bai Qi left the Clan Leader’s house, a satisfied smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He thought of the content on the Sheepskin Scroll and felt vindicated in his guess.

Then, he would be able to leave here very soon.

Not far after stepping outside, he was preparing to visit the home of the Priest who would be succeeded.

Bai Qi and the young man suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed by the roadside.

Shangguan Qiu removed her Invisibility Talisman, picked up the Sheepskin Scroll from Bai Qi’s hand, and quickly scanned its content, only to realize she couldn’t recognize the writing.

With no other option, she stuffed the scroll back.

She turned to leave, then suddenly spotted something moving in the bushes by the road.

Approaching closer, Shangguan Qiu realized it was a doll.

But how could a doll move? Perhaps there was some insect moving in the bushes.

Shangguan Qiu redirected her gaze and left the area to look for Shangguan Jing and the others.

Not long after she departed, Bai Qi and the young man woke up.

"What just happened?"

The young man rubbed his forehead in confusion.

However, Bai Qi didn’t find it strange, instead, he let out a weird laugh. He turned his head to look at the young man beside him, his gaze becoming more and more eerie.

Bai Qi grabbed the young man by the neck and dragged him into a nearby abandoned house.

Shangguan Qiu arrived at Shangguan Jing’s residence.

The others were still there, with a human-skinned puppet drawn by Qin Zhao on the table.

"Did you learn anything?"

Shangguan Jing asked, and Shangguan Qiu shared everything she had heard with the group.

"It seems they are preparing to head into the mountains. We can follow them."

"They definitely know the exact location of Decline Cliff, following them could save us a lot of energy."

"But the rescue team hasn’t arrived yet, shouldn’t we wait for them?"

Everyone waited for Shangguan Jing to make a decision.

Shangguan Jing said, "I asked the locals in the village. They mentioned suspended coffins contain the bodies of the Priests, only the Priests qualify to be buried at Decline Cliff.

From their words, it was clear they hold great respect for the Priests in their clan. But, with this Priest dead, why only send two people to bury the body?

For ordinary people, it could be said, but for a Priest’s stature, it seems too modest."

"Perhaps they fear that place and dare not send too many people."

"Bai Qi is next in line as a Priest, aren’t they afraid of him dying there?"

"They must have a way to avoid danger; we must follow them!"

After a discussion, they decided to split into two groups, with the first group following Bai Qi into the mountains, while the other group waited for the search and rescue team.

If the first group encountered danger inside, the second group could bring the search and rescue team.

"Who drew this doll?"

Shangguan Qiu noticed the paper on the table.

"I did," said Qin Zhao. "What about it?"

"I just saw this doll. Why did you draw it?"

Qin Zhao then explained the human-skinned puppet to Shangguan Qiu, and after drawing the doll, Shangguan Jing mentioned that this doll resembled an Evil Technique recorded in ancient texts.

This kind of human-skin-made doll could help with work like a person.

Even more impressively, it could transform to look exactly like a person.
