As Lin Ke's roar died away, the Black-Armored Warrior immediately bowed his head. "Sorry, Elder Fu Tan. We shouldn't have spoken out of turn."
"Then hurry up and lead the way!"
The Black-Armored Warrior immediately rose and led Lin Ke toward the site of the Illusionless Gu Sect's sacrificial ceremony.
Duan Dongqing and Mo Tianji understood without being told. They concealed their auras and followed close behind.
A short while later, the three descended into a place strewn with ghastly white bones, where human bones formed an altar and flesh and blood served as fuel.
Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators lay prostrate all over the ground. They were either Human Gu belonging to Nascent Soul cultivators or people of great value to the Illusionless Gu Sect themselves, capable of procuring many fresh, living beings to push the limits of depravity. In short, none were good people.
Everyone was gathered around the White Bone Altar, gazing fervently at the flames in its center, as though some peerless treasure lay within.
Clearly, after the Illusionless Gu Sect had spent several months slaughtering people in the Cloud Frontier...
Through their united efforts, they had finally resurrected a Gu Emperor. Back then, the Illusionless Gu Sect had possessed twelve Gu Emperors, each a cultivator capable of throwing an entire frontier into chaos, with the power to destroy heaven and earth.

But Lin Ke knew the difference.
Their current ritual was summoning the Gu Emperor back.
Then they would transfer the Gu Emperor into one of the Illusionless Gu Sect's Fusion Stage Supreme Elders. This would probably give the sect another cultivator who could rival someone
