A Strange Beast Skin Map!

Thus, the internal division within the Yuan Household came to an end in a way no one could have predicted.

Su Zhan looked at the group of Yuan Lineage members who had sincerely submitted to him and nodded calmly.

He knew that from this moment on, he truly had a force that he could freely command within this Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, in his mind, the Cultivation Method Chat Group was also bustling with activity.

[Nine Heavens Divine Lightning]: Did you see that? Did you all see that? That's what professionalism is! That's what art is! One strike clears the field, not a blade of grass remains! @Blazing Dragon Venerate, your little flame would take half a day to roast a person, look at me, so efficient.

[Blazing Dragon Venerate]: You're awesome! You're the best! Alright! It's just a power bank, and when it runs out of power, we still have to rely on the boss! Boss, next time something like this, let me handle it. I promise I'll burn it even more thoroughly than it did!

[Immovable Wisdom King Wall]: Alright, everyone, say less. Boss, although we've dealt with the enemy, this Great Formation is a bit strange. I sensed very deep energy fluctuations underground just now, which doesn't seem like something that traitor Yuan Hong could have created.

[Shadow Thousand Silk Lock]: Yes, I felt it too. It seems like something underground has been activated by this Formation.

Su Zhan's brow twitched slightly.

He noticed it too.

The recent thunderstorm destroyed all the evil array patterns on the ground, but the source of that evil aura seemed to come from deep underground.

He looked at Yuan Ji and asked, "How much do you know about this 'Blood Soul Heaven Sacrifice Grand Formation'? Did Yuan Hong join the Black Demon Sect just to get his hands on this thing?"

Upon hearing Su Zhan's question, Yuan Ji immediately straightened up and answered respectfully:

"Young Master Su, this evil formation is something I've never heard of before. But judging from the name and the signs just now, it's definitely one of the most vicious Formation in the High Antiquity demonic path, requiring the Essence Blood and souls of countless living beings as sacrifices."

As for its ultimate goal...

Yuan Ji's face turned very ugly, and his voice became much lower.

"It's probably not just about granting Yuan Hong some kind of immortality."

"I suspect they intend to use all the creatures of the entire Secret Realm as sacrifices to achieve an even more terrifying scheme!"

Su Zhan nodded.

This is pretty much what he expected.

"Clean up the battlefield," Su Zhan ordered. "Check for any survivors or useful clues. Examine Yuan Hong's body thoroughly, especially his."

"Yes!"

Yuan Chou immediately led the branch members and the Main Vein Disciple who were now completely obedient to take action.

Su Zhan's gaze, however, turned to the deeper parts of the Secret Realm.

He felt that things were just beginning.

The secrets hidden in this Secret Realm are far greater than those of a Lineage traitor and some demonic sect disciples.

Just then, Yuan Chou, who was in charge of searching for Yuan Hong's body, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Young Master Su, come and see!"

Upon hearing Yuan Chou's shout, everyone turned to look.

Su Zhan strode over, and Yuan Ji quickly followed behind.

Yuan Chou was squatting beside Yuan Hong's already cold corpse, holding something in his hand, his expression strange.

It was a picture about the size of a palm, made of some kind of animal hide.

It is dark red in color, soft and tough to the touch, and has some wavy lines and strange symbols drawn on it with a black pigment.

"This was found on his clothes."

Yuan Chou handed the Beast Skin Map to Su Zhan and added:

"He hid it very well, wrapping it in several layers of oilcloth. If we hadn't searched so thoroughly, we would have almost missed it."
