Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 101: Stalemate
Maxlon really wanted to directly snatch the Seed of Original Sin and the Original Sin Stone from the three people, but they seemed to be well prepared.
As long as he fails to succeed in the first place and attracts the attention of the outside world and the officials of Yujing, the plan for the imperial mausoleum will fail.
Therefore, he could only endure it and wait until he got the altar to avoid any trouble.
Just as the words of the lustful high priest implied, the altar was the most important, and no "accidents" should happen before obtaining the altar.
Being controlled by the altar, this is Qiao Ji's evaluation.
If it wasn't for the purpose of successfully seizing the altar, they would probably have to fight right now. The lazy high priest Mark Sloan really seemed to want to kill these three people.
If he could have launched a sneak attack, he would have done it, but he was discovered, so for the sake of the altar, he held back.
A group of fifteen people entered a huge conference room inside Shanshui Manor.
The attendants of the officiants all stood behind their respective officiants and sat around the conference table, each of them sitting at a relatively large distance from each other.
"Would you like some coffee? Or tea?" asked Mark Sloan.
"Don't bother, just wait until night." said the arrogant high priest.
"But before that, Mark, you have to give us something." The words of the lustful high priest made Mark Sloan narrow his eyes slightly.
"What shall I give you?"
"The seed of original sin."
The Gluttonous High Priest knocked on the table. "You have transformed into the body of the Demon King, right? Have you prepared the best seeds of original sin for yourself? If so, we can't guarantee that you won't attack us after you get the altar."
"If I were to take action, would you be able to stop me?" Maxloan grew increasingly angry.
These people actually wanted him to take out the Seed of Original Sin that he had prepared for the Demon King's body!
Any Seed of Original Sin would be a huge boost to his strength. If he could collect seven of them, his strength would be greatly increased.
Reminded by the words of lust and gluttony, the arrogant high priest also thought of this crucial matter.
He also said: "We need you to show a cooperative attitude, otherwise, we would rather give this altar to the Chinese government than wait for you to succeed and take our lives."
Maxlon's face was gloomy and uncertain. At this time, he was already thinking about whether it was feasible to kill these people.
But the short high priest of gluttony quietly took out a Seed of Jealousy.
A red heart-shaped stone with the power of a supernatural being sealed in the middle, allowing the user to gain his supernatural powers.
He tapped the table in the conference room with this seed of jealousy and said:
"When Lust and Desire attacked Jealousy, I also dealt with his butler in Asan Country. The ability he used, the Jealousy Seed, was not very good, but at least—"
The Gluttonous High Priest's bland description gave a feeling that everything was under control. "It's very suitable for dealing with the current situation. It allows me to report to the outside world."
The higher the level of the ability, the higher the control, range, duration, etc.
But the higher the level, the stronger it is not. There is a relationship of mutual promotion and restraint between different types of superpowers.
Like space cutting, human-level space cutting can easily tear the hardest alloy currently available like paper.
However, some mysterious-level supernatural powers simply cannot do this.
Earth-level psychics are powerful, and after the integration of their spirit and energy, they no longer have any obvious weaknesses, but that does not mean that all psychics below the earth level are ineffective against them.
Especially since he was firmly grasped by the altar, the High Priest of Gluttony could threaten him with the altar.
In front of everyone's eyes, the High Priest of Gluttony pressed the seed of jealousy into his own chest.
The chief priest of the Gluttony lineage actually used the Seed of Original Sin of the Jealousy lineage in public.
Judging from his words, the special power sealed in the Seed of Jealousy seemed to be able to leak out the news here in an instant.
Maxlon was not sure about the truthfulness of the words of the Gluttonous High Priest, but he was unwilling to gamble for a few days. He had been planning for decades to obtain that power and there was no way he would give up at this time.
Qiao Ji, who was watching the show, expressed his admiration. He thought that the gluttonous high priest must have been plotting against the lazy high priest for a long time.
Maxlon's face changed again and again, and finally, he chose to force out a piece of skull, a heart stone, a rhino horn, and a piece of hand bone from his body.
Including the seed of laziness, he has the power of all five seeds of original sin in one.
Plus, he should be an earth-level superpower. If he really attacks us...
Both the arrogant high priest and the lustful high priest were frightened, as if they had walked through the gates of hell.
How can you tolerate this?
Qiao Ji said that the demon remains in the altar must be too tempting , otherwise an earth-level psychic could tolerate such an unreasonable request.
However, if he really succeeds, Mark Sloan will probably kill these people first. Although they seem to be cooperating, they are actually mortal enemies of each other.
There were several seeds of original sin on the conference table, which were packed up in boxes by the High Priest of Gluttony. Then, they all closed their eyes and rested.
The atmosphere was silent and stiff, perhaps they were waiting for the jealous high priest Qiao Ji to appear.
After waiting for several minutes, they didn't say anything, so Qiao Ji withdrew his gaze.
How should we fight this battle?
There is too much unknown information, and there is also an extraordinary earth-level mutant with combat power.
The effect of the Seed of Sin of the Lazy Archpriest Maxron is to weaken the effects of supernatural powers within the range.
This is useless to Qiao Ji because he has no special powers at all.
But Maxlon has no obvious weaknesses. Even his psychic abilities cannot defend against the Soul-Devouring Blood Robe. This is the biggest threat to Qiao Ji.
Qiao Ji doesn't care about physical and energy powers.
The importance of other people is downgraded by one level. Maxlon, the guy with earth-level psychic abilities, must be dealt with first.
But the information about his special ability only mentioned one, 'petrification'.
'I need to test the power of the Calabash Brothers.'
If Xiao Jin Gang's power is strong enough, it seems that he can teleport over and kill with one blow.
Of course, this happened after the shadow soldier's sneak attack and self-destruction failed.
Since you are going to do it, do it thoroughly and cleanly, and prepare various plans in case of accidents.
Various plans flashed through Qiao Ji's mind, and the taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
"arrive."
Lin Mengfu opened the car door and went out. Looking at the luxuriously decorated hotel, she couldn't help but feel excited.
She had never been out much, and had only heard about such big hotels from her classmates and seen them on TV.
Qiao Ji paid the taxi fare and got off. Lin Mengfu looked at the big sign of the hotel and asked, "Will this five-star hotel be very expensive?"
Qiao Ji originally planned to make some money. The training ground can sell gold, so he will try it later.
"Just have fun when you get out."
Qiao Ji glanced at Shanshui Manor again. The five chief priests were still sitting motionless as if in meditation, and had no desire to communicate.
Then I'll rest for a while and come to see you in the evening when I'm fully rested.
