Lin Yun could have let the High Priest keep going until she was completely out of energy and turned into a lamb waiting for slaughter.
But as they say, crush one's spirit when killing them. By the time that happened, the High Priest might fight like a cornered beast. It was better to infuriate her with a direct blow now and see how she would respond.
Indeed, upon hearing Lin Yun's voice, the High Priest was completely thrown off.
"Do all you people from the Central Plains Human Race disregard kindness and morality like this? I kindly took you in and sought a cure for your poison, and this is how you repay me?"
Although she hadn't actually achieved anything, that didn't stop the High Priest from taking a moral high ground to criticize Lin Yun's actions.
Both Lin Yun and she were well aware of the reasons for this battle, but what if someone surnamed Bai or Hei happened to be passing by?
