CHAPTER 872: CHAPTER 650: THE NEW HIGH PRIEST

The two beauties, E Ji and Su Ji, were guiding the way at this moment. Before nightfall, they took Li Yi to find a Slave Master named Gong Man. This Slave Master was also a major Slave Master, with a lot of goods in hand, and all were valuable goods.

"Customer, are you here to buy slaves?" Slave Master Gong Man was very polite when he saw Li Yi. He then noticed E Ji and Su Ji behind Li Yi, and his eyes moved slightly.

Apparently, Gong Man recognized that E Ji and Su Ji, these two beauties, were beauties he had sold.

He remembered selling them to Merchant Lord Xiu Xiang for two hundred gold.

Li Yi said, "Do you recognize these two beauties by my side?"

"Recognize them," Slave Master Gong Man said with a smile. "These are slaves from the Changshan Tribe. One is named Su, the other E. Last year they were the two most beautiful girls here. But now I have even more beautiful ji, does the customer want to buy?"

"I’m not here to buy beauties; I’m here to rescue someone," Li Yi said, glancing at E Ji behind him.

E Ji immediately said, "The Changshan Tribe has a High Priest named Dou Kun in your hands, and I hope you can sell him to my master."

Slave Master Gong Man laughed and said, "You are indeed favored by your master, but the price of a High Priest’s slave is not cheap. They possess inheritance and knowledge, understand how to manipulate the forces of heaven and earth, and are rare goods in the market. A High Priest of a great tribe is even more precious than a Divine Blood Warrior."

Li Yi interrupted him directly, "How much gold to sell me the High Priest named Dou Kun?"

Slave Master Gong Man looked at Li Yi at this moment, his eyes slightly moving.

After all, this is a big business delivered to his door; he wouldn’t sell it cheap. But he couldn’t sell it for too high a price, otherwise, if the news spread, it would affect his reputation, making future business difficult.

Gong Man said, "For a High Priest, I want three thousand gold."

Three thousand gold?

Upon hearing this amount, E Ji and Su Ji’s bodies trembled, feeling shocked at the same time, and a flash of panic and unease surged. Because this price was too high.

One must know that the Exotic Blood Warrior Long Yu is only worth one thousand gold.

A High Priest should logically be worth at most between one and two thousand gold, but this Slave Master dared to double it.

Li Yi, although unaware of this world’s prices, also knew the other party quoted a high price, causing him to furrow his brow slightly.

Gong Man continued, "This price is indeed high, but I can gift the customer five beauties."

Even with five beauties, at most, they’re only worth five hundred gold, and that’s if they’re of the same class as E Ji and Su Ji.

Obviously, the other party intended to package it together for one big deal.

"Two thousand gold, I don’t want the five beauties; how about it?" Li Yi said.

He thought Gong Man would continue to haggle but didn’t expect him to agree immediately with a smile: "Sure!"

"..." Li Yi.

The agreement came so smoothly; it seems two thousand gold was still high. Indeed, I’m not suited for business; this isn’t my specialty.

"Bring the person out."

Li Yi didn’t bother to argue. Luckily, he had previously earned eighty thousand gold from Merchant Lord Liehou. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to buy anything, and now he must thank Merchant Lord Liehou, which made him a rich man.

He handed over twenty pieces of Red Gold to Gong Man.

Although Gong Man, this Slave Master, was cunning, he was quite honest. After accepting the gold, he immediately ordered his servant to bring over the High Priest named Dou Kun.

Soon.

Li Yi saw an elderly man with a face full of wrinkles, leaning on a staff, covered in ancient totems, being brought out. This old man looked very aged, his Qi-Blood diminished, body gaunt, yet his eyes were exceptionally bright, like a baby’s, hard to forget.

"High Priest."

E Ji and Su Ji immediately knelt to this old man upon seeing him.

"Is it E and Su?"

The High Priest Dou Kun sighed long: "You two are good children, but you shouldn’t save an old man like me with little time left. You should strive to live your own lives well, let me wither like autumn leaves, melt like spring snow, don’t go against the natural laws of heaven and earth."

He was old, but not senile.

As fellow slaves, E and Su must have paid a huge price to rescue him, so upon being freed, he felt no joy, only guilt and helplessness.

"We survived because of the High Priest. As long as there’s a chance, we will definitely rescue the High Priest," E Ji said seriously.

The High Priest Dou Kun then lifted his old head to look at Li Yi.

He immediately saw that the young man before him, Li Yi, was a Divine Blood Warrior, and a very young one. His strong physique held endless potential. Even more shocking, within this person, he sensed the power of two bloodlines.

"An extraordinary young warrior, you will surely become a One God in the future."

His evaluation of Li Yi was the same as that of Nanshan Bo before, both believing Li Yi would inevitably become a new Divine.

Li Yi just smiled and said: "I hope so. High Priest, don’t blame E and Su. They see you as an important person; your living is very important to them. If you died in the hands of the Slave Master, they would live with regret."

"You are right."

The High Priest Dou Kun said: "But my mission and responsibility were completed with the destruction of the Changshan Tribe. Even if I’m rescued, the Changshan Tribe won’t return, just like when we wiped out other tribes before, rising and falling is the natural way, no one can defy it."

"Then live a different life, like following me, what do you think?"

Li Yi said: "You are an old wise man; if left to wander outside, it would be very cruel. Let me take care of your final years."

Upon hearing this, E Ji and Su Ji immediately showed cheerful expressions.

If the High Priest also followed Da Yi, it would be a great thing. The High Priest could help Da Yi manage everything, and in the future, they themselves could bear children with Divine Blood for Da Yi.

Even though the Changshan Tribe was destroyed, the bloodline and inheritance were reborn from the ashes.

E Ji and Su Ji understood this reason, and naturally, so did the High Priest Dou Kun.

The formation of a tribe relies on something most critical: the High Priest, a powerful Clan Leader, and enough warriors and offspring.

Coincidentally.

These conditions are now all met.

Like a young seed, it only needs to wait quietly; in the future, it will root, sprout, and eventually grow into a towering tree.

But, can I live to see that day?

To see a new Divine Blood Tribe emerge again?

But regardless, it’s worth a try.

At least, E Ji and Su Ji have a future.

I am old now; perhaps I can burn one last time as dry wood.

"Young warrior, what is your name?" Then, the High Priest Dou Kun asked.

Li Yi said, "I am Da Yi."

"Da Yi, that’s a good name. I am willing to follow your suggestion, follow you, acknowledge you as my master, hoping Da Yi, you won’t despise my old age and uselessness, I will try my best to pass on all I master, to help you grow your Divine Blood Family," said the High Priest Dou Kun.

Li Yi laughed and said, "Aging is never a disadvantage to me, you’ll live very well and in comfort here, I promise."

"Thank you for your generosity, Da Yi," the High Priest Dou Kun said sincerely.

Li Yi said, "Let’s go back, perhaps with the remaining time, we should buy some wine and meat, have a great meal tonight. These days, everyone needs rest, you’ve all been hurt and are very weak, you need a good rest."

Shanguo, Long Yu, and the High Priest Dou Kun all looked at Da Yi.

Indeed, he is a natural leader worthy of following, and he doesn’t humiliate anyone, giving enough respect.

This respect is worth repaying with one’s life.

E Ji and Su Ji supported the High Priest Dou Kun, their eyes sparkling, also looking at Da Yi ahead. They understood at this moment that this man would be their everything in the future.

What the future holds, they didn’t know, they only knew Da Yi’s fate was their fate.

On the way back, Li Yi did end up buying lots of wine and meat, buying over ten mutant beasts alone. After all, it’s not just about feeding himself now; a group needs food and drink.

As the master, naturally he was responsible for all expenses.

Therefore, being the boss also comes with pressure.
