Three hours later, the latest “Hummingbird” ultra-small low-altitude shuttle drew a beautiful arc in the air. It directly opened a small hole in the sky outside the Holy Mountain and entered.
The Rand guards in charge of guarding were shocked.
The Sky Dome was clearly still open. Why did this super small low-altitude shuttle come in?
However, a moment later, the ultra-small low-altitude shuttle landed on the ground. The cabin door opened and Chu Nan and Angie Prairie jumped out. The guards heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Nan looked around, “Where’s the high priest now? I have something to say to him.”
The guards surrounding him looked at each other with strange expressions.
After a while, a guard pointed at the high ground of the Holy Mountain.
“The high priest is presiding over the elders’ meeting. You can find Captain Iho and get him to announce it.”
“Okay.”
Chu Nan nodded and did not waste any time. He quickly walked towards the place pointed out by the guard with Angie Prairie.
The guards behind him thought for a moment and still assigned a guard to follow behind.
Chu Nan slowed down slightly and waited for the guard to catch up before asking, “Is the high priest holding an elder meeting now to discuss how to leave the Holy Mountain?”
The guard hesitated for a moment and shook his head. “No, we’re just discussing whether to retreat…”
“Is there still a need to discuss this?” Chu Nan widened his eyes in disbelief, “Although Sand Eagle’s group failed this time, they definitely won’t let it go. If they send out an even stronger fleet next time, can you stop them?”
The guard smiled bitterly, “This is something the elders and priests discussed. I… I have no objections.”
Chu Nan frowned. He knew that this ordinary guard indeed did not have any say in such matters, so he did not ask him anymore and turned to look at Angie Prairie.
Previously, when Angie Prairie found him, she had told him that the Rand Clansmen in the Holy Mountain were unwilling to retreat. As expected.
“If they’re unwilling, let them be.” Angie Prairie naturally understood the meaning in Chu Nan’s eyes, “Just tell the high priest what Master said in a while. As for the two high-level cultivation methods, you don’t have to be anxious. When Master comes, any problem can be solved.”
Chu Nan sighed and shook his head.
Compared to the two cultivation methods, he was more worried about the safety of the Rand Clansmen in the Holy Mountain.
Although Supremacy Oville had already spoken, it was still a question if the high priest and these Rand Clansmen were willing to listen.
Even if they were willing to listen and felt that they could not resist the Sand Eagle’s attack, directly choosing to surrender did not mean that they could be safe.
There were more than 20,000 Rand Clansmen here. It was impossible for Sand Eagle’s people to take them all away in a row. If they killed them, the losses would be too heavy.
Although Chu Nan was not related to these Rand Clansmen, he still could not watch a group of people die.
“No, I have to convince the high priest!” Chu Nan gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the meeting hall of the Elder Council halfway up the Holy Mountain.
At this moment, Iho was leading a group of guards to guard the entrance of the council hall. When he saw Chu Nan and Angie Prairie return, he revealed a surprised expression and hurriedly went forward.
“Little Brother Chu Nan, it’s great that you’re fine! Where’s the person chasing you? Did you shake him off?” Iho asked Chu Nan happily.
“No, I killed him.” Chu Nan shook his head and ignored the shock on Iho’s face. He glanced at the door of the council hall and asked, “Is the high priest inside? Help me inform him that I have something very important to tell him.”
Iho swallowed the words that were already at his mouth and agreed before entering the council hall to report.
With his performance in assisting in resisting the Sand Eagle, Chu Nan already had an extremely high status among the Rand Clansmen in the Holy Mountain, especially in the hearts of the Void Break Martial Artists left behind by Iho and the other three.
If someone else wanted to disturb the high priest when she held the Elder Council, Iho’s first reaction was definitely to reject.
After a while, Iho came out and said to Chu Nan, “The high priest invites you in.”
“Okay.”
At this moment, Chu Nan did not want to waste any time and walked into the council hall with Angie Prairie without any hesitation.
The interior of the council hall used by the Rand Clansmen of the Holy Mountain to hold an elders’ meeting was extremely spacious. From the entrance to the other end, it was more than 30 meters long, the width of the left and right was more than 20 meters, and the height of the head was ten meters high. As soon as he entered, he seemed to have become small.
In the middle of the huge space was a rectangular stone table. The high priest sat alone at the other end of the table. On both sides of the table were two rows of Rand priests in priest uniforms.
Chu Nan swept his gaze and was a little surprised.
There were more than 30 priests here in total. He had never seen so many before.
Moreover, among the priests on the right, sitting closest to the high priest was a female priest he was very familiar with. It was Priestess Famayi, who was filled with hostility towards him and even scolded him as an “outsider thief”.
When she saw Chu Nan and Angie Prairie walk in, Priestess Famayi still looked at him with hostility. The hostility in her eyes was even stronger than the first time she saw him.
Chu Nan frowned slightly, not understanding why this woman was so hostile to him.
However, this was not the time to care about this. Chu Nan glanced at the priests on both sides and felt a little strange why the high priest wanted him and Angie Prairie to come to such an occasion.
What he needed to say to the high priest was not suitable to be said in front of so many people.
“Chu Nan, it’s really comforting to see that you’re safe and sound.” The high priest stood up first and revealed a warm and amiable smile to Chu Nan, “I heard from Iho that you killed the enemy chasing you?”
Chu Nan was even more surprised. Why did the high priest ask this?
However, when he saw the attention of the priests beside him, his heart stirred. He smiled and said, “Yes, I’ve already killed him. Angie Prairie told me that Sand Eagle’s people chose to retreat after that, right?”
The priests on both sides had different expressions. Some were shocked, but others revealed doubt in their eyes. Clearly, they doubted Chu Nan’s words.
After all, the enemy who chased after Chu Nan looked to be far stronger than him. The previous two attacks had easily heavily injured him.
If Chu Nan said that he had successfully escaped from that person’s pursuit, they naturally would not suspect him. However, it was unbelievable that he had actually killed the other party.
Of course, no one would directly doubt him. After all, it was under Chu Nan’s hard work that the danger of the Holy Mountain was resolved.
“Hmph, who knows if he’s colluding with that guy to put on an act?” A cold snort sounded at this moment, its tone filled with mockery.
