Irrepressible hatred flowed from the High Priest's eyes. Ling Xiao felt a pang of sympathy. He thought of Ye Zi's upbringing, then of the High Priest—a woman of peerless, youthful beauty. It was hard to imagine how she went from being the favored daughter of a hidden, aristocratic clan to the High Priest of a savage Beastman Tribe. The hardships and tribulations she must have endured were beyond imagination…
To possess the power of a Demon Sword Master in her twenties was, in the eyes of many, an incredible feat!
But to Ling Xiao, it was nothing special. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this world was so abundant, and most of those hidden aristocratic clans had millennia of heritage. As long as they grasped even a fraction of how to apply the principles of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, they could cultivate the younger generation of their families into powerful experts in a short time.
Clearly, the High Priest's clan must possess some method for rapidly boosting one's power!
