Found Out, Emergency Action

The High Priest here are somewhat similar to the Devil Race's ritual of Exorcism Ceremony, yet quite different.

The Devil Race's grand ceremony was a joyous and anticipated event for everyone. After the ceremony, with their Heart Demon dispelled, they felt relaxed and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

Here, one can only sense solemnity and reverence; their respect and veneration for Altar stems from their belief that it is the true god, the god who saves them.

If Su Zhan's guess is correct, this Altar provided immense protection to the Drum Tribe in the past, and even now, the Drum Tribe's survival depends on it.

Amidst the solemnity, Su Zhan sensed a spot at the corner of the Altar that resonated strongly with him, allowing him to perceive the core of the Altar.

He knew that the Altar was calling him, or more precisely, that fragment of the Artifact was calling to him.

He could barely contain his excitement and wanted to immediately grab a hammer, break it open, and leave with the Artifact.

Perhaps it was this Artifact energy that made Su Zhan keep telling himself not to be impatient, to wait a little longer, for what was meant to be his would definitely come to him!

The High Priest proceeded step by step, and he completed each ceremony according to the prescribed procedures.

As it ended, a surge of Spiritual Qi coursed around him, drawing power from all directions to nourish everyone present, including Su Zhan.

He understood why he, an outsider, had been chosen for the High Priest. The degree to which the High Priest and the Altar were compatible directly determined the extent to which the Altar would bless and strengthen them. As long as the Altar liked it, even a toad would be accepted by the Drum Tribe.

Finally, everything was over. Exhausted, he didn't stay and went back to rest.

After he left, a man ran to the Grand Elder with a shocked expression, whispered a few words in his ear, and then took out something.

The Grand Elder's expression changed, and he angrily rushed towards the direction Su Zhan had left.

The Devil Qi that Su Zhan left in the forest surged up because of the summoning he had just performed during the ritual.

The Drum Tribe found it strange, so they went inside to investigate and discovered that he had inadvertently left behind a little blood.

This was a small cut that he hadn't noticed at the time. He was too nervous, and the cut wasn't big, so he didn't even see it.

The man presented what he had found to the Grand Elder recognized the aura emanating from it.

Blood is the closest thing to a person. He has been with Su Zhan for the past few days and, based on his abilities, he can see that the master of the business is very simple.

He instantly understood that Su Zhan was behind everything that had happened recently, and that Su Zhan was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

Even his race is fake!

It's pitiful that he had been grooming Su Zhan as a future pillar of the clan; he has truly betrayed that trust.

Celestial Person gathered, it would be quite troublesome if several Elders were to go out together, so he did not notify the other Elder.

Although Su Zhan is a genius, he is still young and has not yet fully matured. He doesn't believe that he alone cannot subdue Su Zhan.

Filled with intense killing intent, he chased after the place where Su Zhan had left.

Su Zhan was completely unaware when the system notification sounded.

"Ding, a powerful energy cluster has been detected approaching..."

Su Zhan was startled. Someone was looking for him. For the system to issue an alert to Su Zhan, it must be something extremely dangerous.

If you're just passing by, the system won't give you this notification.

Su Zhan panicked and the Cultivation Method quickly said, "We also sensed it. They arrived very quickly and without any concealment, carrying a powerful aura."

Su Zhan realized something, immediately shielded his aura, activated his Space Attribute, and frantically fled into the distance, trying to keep a low profile.

The Elder on the other side clearly hadn't expected that he could detect the disappearance so quickly and accurately. He chased after him all the way to his room, but didn't see anyone.

He immediately realized that the person had escaped. Then, with a steely resolve, he grabbed something from the table and smashed it on the ground.

Now that you've come this far, you want to leave?!

Su Zhan fled frantically, his target this time being the Altar.

The Altar was where he had just left. His thoughts were simple: since he had come all this way for the Artifact, he had to get it; he wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't try.

Moreover, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. The Grand Elder never expected that he would return so soon after leaving.

How could he dare to come back to this place where people gather the most?

The others were unaware of his problem. When Su Zhan arrived, many people greeted him warmly and bowed in respect. Su Zhan nodded selflessly, concealing his identity.

Su Zhan quickly arrived at the corner of the Altar, the place he had sensed earlier. Fortunately, it was in the corner; if it were in the center, he wouldn't have been able to tamper with it quietly.

He picked up the sledgehammer and started working, but after smashing for a long time, there was no reaction.

He secretly set up a small space around himself, not for any other reason than to isolate himself from the noise, otherwise, if he made too much noise, he wouldn't be able to hide.

He launched another frenzied attack, but the Altar remained unmoved, and he grew anxious.

The Grand Elder will find this place soon, and there are so many people here, so I must find a way quickly.

Then Great Dao spoke up, saying, "Boss, try dripping your blood on it; maybe it will react."

Although Su Zhan didn't understand why he was bleeding here, there was no time to waste. He immediately slashed his wrist, splattering the blood onto the ground as if it were free.

After it was sprinkled on, nothing changed; the Altar did not absorb it, and no changes were made to it.

Su Zhan could only try to keep smashing it, and as a result, he found that the ground seemed to have softened a lot.

It cracked instantly, Su Zhan was overjoyed. He immediately seized the opportunity to strike it hard once... twice... three times...

After hammering away the hard outer layer, he switched to other tools and began digging frantically. After digging down about half a meter, the object inside was revealed.

Upon seeing the fragment, Su Zhan beamed with joy. It resembled half a Booklet, just like the one he had seen years ago.

I heard that it was indeed made from fragments of Artifact, but I was used to grabbing at it immediately. However, the moment I touched it, there seemed to be an invisible membrane on the thing, separating Su Zhan from me.

Su Zhan tried his best to reach inside, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the membrane. The Artifact was right in front of him, and in such a critical situation, he couldn't move an inch. He had already come this far, and if he was discovered, he would surely die. He gritted his teeth and made a tough decision.

He simply cut off half of it and carried it away. If he had only taken the fragments of the Artifact, he might not have been noticed, but carrying away a small half of the Altar would have been far too conspicuous. Even a blind person could see it.
