Chapter 99

The third day when Shunhua and Wu Jue came to the palace on the top of the mountain was the day when the Wu clan offered sacrifices.

Wu Jue was dressed the same as when the Yue Kingdom worshiped heaven, wearing a black long robe with vermilion embroidered runes and pictures of mountains and rivers, but today he added some more accessories, and his long hair was not fixed with a crown, but tied at the end jade belt.

Wushuang's unmasked face was extraordinarily dazzling under the sunlight, with a red mark shining brightly between her brows.

This is the seal of the High Priest.

After the successive high priests' succession ceremonies, this red mark like a little cinnabar will appear between the eyebrows, and it will naturally disappear when the high priest leaves office.

But Wu Jue has always kept this mark hidden, so this is the first time Shunhua has seen it.

Such a bit of red color made Wu Jue's delicate and un-mortal face even more thrilling, and even more like a god.

Naturally, Shun Hua did not follow Wu Jue, she was standing on the top of the tower, looking up at where the Wu Clan people were.Seeing everyone kneeling down piously, watching the young man in the black robe looking down on everyone, like a god looking down on all living beings.

Spiritual energy emerged from the sky, circling around the young man, and wandering among the Wu people.

"Wu Jue..." Shun Hua whispered the name softly, two simple words, but seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The young man on the altar seemed to have sensed it. He raised his eyes and saw an ink-colored figure on the tower in the distance, with a smile on his lips.

Someone raised his head to see the demeanor of the high priest, and just saw this smile, and couldn't help but lose his mind.

After the sacrificial ceremony was over, everyone left, and the mountain returned to calm. As for the priest's hall, it was always quiet.

According to the past, Wu Jue always went directly to the back mountain after offering sacrifices, and would only enter the palace after meeting the elders of the Wu clan.

However, today he went back to the palace and told Shunhua that he was going to the back mountain.

After Wu Jue left, Shunhua made a trick, and disappeared behind Wu Jue.

【Host, won't they find you like this? ] Seeing all her movements, Zero couldn't help but speak.

Shunhua replied: "No." It was very straightforward.

In fact, it was really easy to be discovered based on the cultivation of this body, but Shunhua also released some aura from the soul body to cover up the aura on her body.

Therefore, even Wu Jue, who knew her best, didn't notice that she was following him, let alone other people.

The elders of the Wu clan, apart from traveling around, basically live in the back mountain.

There are no gorgeous palaces in the back mountain, and the elders live in individual small buildings.But now, none of these elders, the youngest of whom are over half a hundred years old, did not stay in the room, but all gathered by a pool.

Surrounded by a piece of white snow, there is a clear pool with rippling blue waves here, which is really weird.

And the eight elders sat cross-legged in eight positions by the pool, and when Wu Jue came, the elders nodded.

"Meet the High Priest."

"You elders don't need to be too polite." Wu Jue stepped forward, walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the seemingly clear but actually deep pool water, and said, "I wonder if there is any change in the seal?"

"Everything is fine, the High Priest need not worry."

Hearing this, Wu Jue felt relieved even though he didn't completely let go of the worries in his heart, but...

"The thousand-year limit is approaching, and I hope the elders will take the trouble to suppress it."

As soon as the words came out, one of the old men with white beard and hair stroked his beard and said loudly: "This is our duty, the high priest doesn't need to worry about it."
