Translator: Irene Editor: TYZ/CakeHerarden, Ai Hui closed the door before placing it on his table Like a snake, the ied forward and coiled itself around the stone statue

Ai Hui alh; the stone statue looked like a silly, lifeless one

Perhaps there was so powerful hidden within the statue?

Ai Hui was very curious Of course, he already knew the power of the bandage, but for the family heads of the Ye Residence to have been stumped over the statue for so many years, it most definitely wasn’t a simple object

Ai Hui dared not look down on aristocratic faly deep, be it in terrasp of eley

The construction of the treasury and the s he’d never seen before

Perhaps the fa representatives, but their hard work contributed to the succession of each generation for hundreds and thousands of years Along the way, their acculy profound and and extensive

Aristocratic fa at the peak of the Elee had actually responded to a secret these people weren’t able to unravel How exciting!

Eh?

Ai Hui suddenly stood up straight, his eyes glowing

The face of the stone statue was starting to itated, but cal, the coast was clear The stone statue had no ele, radually

Ai Hui stared intently at that statue It ranite, he’d checked carefully!

Had his eyes deceived him?

As the statue’s face melted, its coarse lines snificantly The blurred facial features beca delicate and refined, that faint heavenly charm became more intense Ai Hui was coaze-shirlpool Ai Hui stared blankly at it, unable to turn his eyes away

The stone statue in his vision started to turn blurry

The world turned hazy as the skychain of massive h up into the sky, the fields were vast, and all kinds of unusual beasts were running and flying around

Ai Hui guaranteed that he’d never seen any of these unusual beasts Having stayed in the Wilderness for such a long tinizing most of the wild and dire beasts These unusual beasts were even n to hi aze landed on a small valley

From what he saw, Ai Hui reckoned this valley’s terrain was very suitable for outdoor ca brook, its strea wasn’t a concern The mountains on both sides served as partitions They were steep and ranite The valley ide, yet itsit a place that was easy to guard and difficult for intruders to attack

There was a fence s at the valley mouth What use could such a crude defensive measure have? Ai Hui couldn’t wrap his head around it Inside, there was a tent rass, and within it were people lighting a fire for cooking and skinning the wild beasts It was a rather lively scene

Savage tribe?

Ai Hui see for a little while, Ai Hui felt that the savages had tedious lives They were uncivilized and appeared quite ignorant When Ai Hui and gang were in the Wilderness, their lives had been arduous too, but coes, they were much better off

Some time later, the tribal chief took out a sheet of aniure on it with charcoal and beast blood

His strokes were very crude Saying that it was a hu was propped up by a tree branch and stones were piled up to form a simple sacrificial table The chief butchered a wild beast, placed it on the table as an offering, and led the worshipping process as everyone started koing

Years passed and the chief kept changing The clothes worn by tribe members underwent developments too, fros on the aniradually became clearer and started to carry a unique, heavenly charm

Heavenly charm?

Ai Hui reacted suddenly Could it be…

He took a closer look at the huure on the animal skin and found that it was indeed sies to the anily pious and offered sacrifices ure on the skin beca been through years of can, was now influential and powerful City walls were built and he overlooked them all

Enemies infiltrated into the sacrificial hall and burned the ani treasures frood portrait Gathering treasures, reputable priests, painters, and warlocks from all over into the hall, after twenty-two years of blood, sweat, and tears, a new deainst enean abruptly as well

In the span of sixty years, countless captives were detained and offered as sacrifices

The heavenly char it terrifying to look at

More years passed as the tribe rose and fell, prospered and fell into decline However, that portrait reood as new and sacrifices were constantly being offered to it

On a windy, rainy night, a lightning bolt from outside the s illuminated the dark, spacious sacrificial hall and also that portrait that hung down frood’s eyes moved and a smile surfaced on the corner of its entle face appear increasingly flirtatious and enticing

Suddenly, a leg extended out frood had actually coly interested in all that was going on All of a sudden, as if he sensed so, he raised his head and looked in Ai Hui’s direction
