After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 250 Alive
At the moment of dawn, Yu Xiong was the closest to Shen Can.

As for the feathered weapons, they were violently striking the witch formation.

Although darkness blocked his senses, he still managed to reach the edge of the witch array.

Now Yu Qi has no intention of fighting Shen Can anymore; before, he just relied on his speed to rampage through Yongyi.

But now trapped in the formation, with streams of earth-elemental energy spreading, not only is their speed restricted, but they also have only this small patch of space to return to their original world.

Suddenly, Yu Qi felt that after losing his speed, he seemed to have become an ordinary, unremarkable divine treasure.

Could it be that our past strength was just an illusion?
The already crumbling witch array finally shattered in one area under the relentless and relentless impact of the feathered weapon.

Countless spiritual barriers shattered and exploded, engulfing the feathered artifact within them, tearing his entire body of fur apart with a crackling sound.

The intense pain caused Yu Qi to scream, and his flapping wings almost drooped. He endured the excruciating pain and tried to escape the formation.

Although they didn't know what the night was, they could guess that its coverage was definitely limited, and as long as they flew out, they could avoid the killing.

Just as Yuqi was struggling to fly away, the sky suddenly brightened again.

A cry for help rang out.

"The instrument, the rescue..."

The feathered creature glanced to the side and unconsciously doubled the frequency of its wing flapping, wishing the Holy Spirit had given it more wings.

Then they saw the grotesque bear calling for help being engulfed by a blazing barrage of attacks—fist marks, fiery palms, flashing blades… in great numbers.

Although several of his previous attacks missed, the fleeing Yu Xiong still managed to collide head-on with a palm. He hurriedly summoned a blue feather.

Qingyu was blasted away, and the violent energy engulfed Yuxiong.

The energy was also pulled into the witch array, and an even greater energy burst out, allowing the feathered artifacts flying outwards to hitch a ride.

It barely flapped its wings a few times, yet its entire body moved faster than when it was flying on its own, except its flight path became an arc, and it whooshed across the sky before crashing down.

"Feather weapon!"

Xuan Chi, which had been hovering in the sky, swooped down rapidly and rushed towards Yu Qi.

"Release him quickly, take advantage of his injuries and kill him!"

In his panic, Xuan Chi didn't notice that four wild beasts suddenly emerged from a mountain outside the Blazing Flame Clan's territory. The three dragon-horned beasts, each carrying a witch cannon, rushed over quickly, aiming the cannon at the spot where the feather weapon had fallen.

The fourth rank allows for brief periods of flight. Although they can't fly as fast as birds, it's not a big deal to travel another twenty or thirty miles.

boom! boom! boom!
The three-headed guardian war beast charged to a spot less than three miles from where the feathered weapon had fallen, its blood energy surging into the witch cannon on its back.

The spirit barrier of Wuwen suddenly shone brightly, and three streams of light shot out from the sky.

Xuan Chi, who was falling, immediately reacted, but the roaring Witch Cannon Beast Pill was no slower than him.

Tweet!
Xuan Chi bristled instantly, flapping its wings rapidly, attempting to reverse its descent and ascend again. It opened its mouth and spat out a cyan bead, enveloping itself in it.

Rumble!
Three fourth-tier beast cores fell and exploded with a bang two hundred feet away from Xuan Chi, who was trying to escape, and less than a hundred feet away from Yu Qi.

Three bursts of energy, like exploding stars, collided in mid-air, creating an energy shock that swept in all directions.

Just as the feathered creature on the ground was about to struggle to its feet, it hurriedly transformed into human form, curled up into a ball, and spat out a small cauldron from its mouth in an attempt to protect itself.

Unfortunately, before the small cauldron was fully activated, the feather weapon and the cauldron were both thrown away by the surging energy impact.

People and cauldrons were scattered, blood gushed out like a spring, and the already injured bodies were covered with wounds like tattered cloth, with fresh blood splattering everywhere.

Xuan Chi was also thrown away by the energy.

Normally, a player in the early stages of a fourth-tier level cannot defeat a player in the late stages of a fourth-tier level.

However, even though the three early-stage fourth-tier beast cores exploded outside the enclosed area, the energy was still extremely violent.

The energy wave that struck nearly stripped Xuan Chi of all his fur and blasted him off mid-air, crashing him into a pile of rocks.

"Don't run yet, take him down!"

After bombarding the three guardian beasts of the tribe with the witch cannon, they immediately prepared to flee, but were stopped by the old tortoise.

As planned, they would stay on the perimeter and do what they could, and run away if there was any danger.

If attacked after firing the cannon, the old black tortoise is responsible for using its shell to block the attack.

But plans can't keep up with changes, so is there any need to run around like this?

Up, up, up!
"Aren't you drooling over the flesh and blood of late-stage or even peak fourth-tier martial artists?!"

Then, the old tortoise's words made the eyes of the three guardian beasts—Golden Sword, Dragon Horn, and Dragon Bear—light up like lanterns.

"Ow!"

With a roar, the golden sword spread its wings and leaped onto the dragon's horn.

"Old Dragon, I'll lead you into battle!"

"rush!"

Led by the old Xuan Turtle, the four wild beasts roared and charged toward the falling Xuan Chi.

At this moment, Shen Can also emerged from the witch formation and grasped the feather weapon rolling on the ground.

He then crushed its divine treasure, tore off its limbs, and casually tossed them aside, smashing them into the rock wall.

Tweet!
In the distance, a blue light rose like a storm, soaring upwards, and the four guardian war beasts that charged forward were all thrown into the air.

Seeing this, Shen Can raised his hand and conjured a mountain range, then smashed it over from a distance.

With the arrival of the multicolored palm, the azure storm was directly shattered, and Xuan Chi, who was protected by the azure bead, was directly slammed into the depths of the earth from mid-air.

The protective shield formed by the cyan beads shattered, and a pair of wings and the physical body merged into a single plane, embedding themselves deep within the palm of the hand.

Plop, plop!
A series of crashing sounds rang out as the three-headed guardian beast of the Golden Sword clan was also smashed down from the sky.

Only the old black tortoise was relatively dignified, as it crashed onto the dragon's horn.

"Ahem, my mistake, I'm not good at fighting."

The old black tortoise seemed a little embarrassed and offered an explanation.

Shen Can pulled Xuan Chi out, ripped off his wings, and crushed the Divine Treasury.

I don't know why, even though it's like this, it hasn't turned into a human.

But that's normal, it's about biodiversity.

"Clean up the battlefield and repair the formation!"

Shen Can carried the two prisoners back into the ancestral temple, which was now on the verge of collapse, with only a few wooden pillars supporting it.

Fortunately, the shrines and sacrificial vessels in the ancestral temple have been moved, along with the graves on the back mountain.

"This isn't the first time we've met, is it?"

Shen Can looked at Xuan Chi, while Yu Qi was directly knocked unconscious by his divine sense.

Xuan Chi trembled as he looked at Shen Can, his mind filled with only the thought of the sacrificial offerings turning against the Heavenly Gang.

These were four hunters at the peak of the Divine Realm, and they even had fifth-tier witch artifacts in their hands. He still couldn't understand how, when he had such overwhelming power and the advantage was in his hands, he had become a prisoner.

Moreover, given his strength, why is he hiding in the barren northern border of Yongyi, when he could have easily wiped out most of the tribes of Yongyi?

But the scene before him forced him to admit that the hunter priests, including Yu Bo, had all been killed.

What exactly happened in the darkness?
"Your origins!"

Seeing Xuan Chi trembling and seemingly lost in thought, Shen Can had no patience left. He grabbed the wing he had just torn off Xuan Chi, flipped it over, and used the wingtip to pierce the tear again.

Since we've removed their wings, we have to put them back on.

Ah!
Xuan Chi screamed in agony. It was true that the Divine Treasure Warrior had strong vitality, but even he couldn't withstand the wingtip being pierced into the wound like that.

"Was it packed incorrectly?"

"puff!"

Shen Can pulled it out again and put it back in.

puff!puff!puff!
I tried to reassemble it several times, but I have to say that it's impossible without professional expertise; I simply couldn't reassemble it to a perfectly seamless state.

"Shepherd Xuan Chi!" Xuan Chi, convulsing on the ground, hissed as blood gushed out, forming a stream.

What's terrifying is that, ten feet away from where the stream flows, several shrunken wild beasts are licking at it.

Pairs of eyes were fixed on him, just as intensely as when he looked at Shen Can, the sacrifice.

“He…he is the Hunting Priest Yu Qi, and so are the other three.”

"We are the Holy People, shepherding the city for the great Holy Spirit and seeking sacrifices."

After hearing this, Shen Can understood. This made sense. No wonder those guys looked at him with such intense, almost melting eyes.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Upon hearing this, Xuan Chi trembled violently.

At this moment, Shen Can suddenly turned around, grabbed Yu Qi, who seemed to have fainted, by the head, lifted him up, and then used his other hand to grab a handful of pebbles and stuff them into his mouth.

"Well!"

Yu struggled frantically, but the pebbles were still stuffed into her mouth.

"Cough cough... Xuan Chi, how dare you betray the Holy Spirit!"

"Human, cough cough... This is courting your own destruction. You and your tribe will be completely... utterly wiped out of Yongyi!"

"When my clan reaches the fifth rank, it will be your death day!"

"Cough, Xuan Chi, you cough cough, you piece of trash! A dignified Holy Spirit messenger, how dare you... cough, kneel before a sacrificial offering! Even if you die, your soul will forever suffer the Holy Spirit's punishment!"

Yu Qi's words made Xuan Chi tremble even more, his eyes filled with endless terror.

"No, no, I did not betray the Holy Spirit. I was only talking about our origins. I did not!"

Seeing the two arguing, Shen Can quietly took a step back, trying to give them space to continue speaking.

"No matter where you run, no matter where you hide in Yongyi, or even into the Eastern Swamp, the Western Wilderness, or the Northern Mountains, there will be no place for you to settle down. My clan's fifth-rank members will definitely kill you!"

Yu Qi stared menacingly at Shen Can.

Shen Can nodded. "Okay, continue."

Yu Qi hesitated for a moment, somewhat taken aback by Shen Can's composure.

Then, Yu Qi sneered, "The great Holy Spirit possesses boundless power, Xuan Chi, do you want to betray the Holy Spirit!"

Yu Qi began to chant obscure words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his head was crushed by Shen Can with a "poof," and the wisp of azure light that had just appeared on his head was extinguished.

"Do you also want to return to the embrace of the Holy Spirit?"

Shen Can looked at Xuan Chi, who was still trembling, shaking his head and nodding at the same time.

How many fifth-tier individuals are there in your clan?

But at this moment, Xuan Chi's gaze began to solidify again, and his body stopped trembling.

"There are several fifth-tier members in the clan!"

Seeing this, Shen Can did not hesitate to use his divine sense to bombard Xuan Chi's divine sense.

"Two...two!"

"Who are they, and what are their cultivation levels?"

The sound, as loud as a great bell, made Xuan Chi's consciousness buzz, and his eyes, which had just regained their clarity, became unfocused again.

"The High Priest, the Old Hunting Priest..."

Suddenly, Xuan Chi's words abruptly stopped, his scattered gaze refocused, and an unnatural eagerness appeared in his eyes.

In Shen Can's perception, this person's divine sense changed at this moment, suddenly becoming intensely hot.

The soul spontaneously combusted!

"The great Holy Spirit is the true ruler of Yongyi, the one who has been nurtured..."

"puff!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Can killed him completely. However, his remaining body twitched incessantly, as if his soul was being burned away, and was eventually burned away bit by bit.

Although he was dead and hadn't finished speaking, Shen Can still gleaned the basic information he wanted from his manifested thoughts.

Two fifth-order individuals.

The Great Priest, who advanced to the fifth rank a thousand years ago, became the contemporary Priest.

The old hunter priest was already at the early stage of the fifth rank more than a thousand years ago. His lifespan was comparable to that of an old black tortoise, and he had already entered old age. As for whether he had advanced to the middle stage, this guy didn't know either.

"There really is a fifth tier!"

When the first peak fourth-tier beast arrived, Shen Can had already considered the possibility that a fifth-tier beast might exist.

That's really bad, it's completely heartbreaking.

They really do have them, and they're even two level 5!

The Holy Tribe worships the Holy Spirit, but who is this Holy Spirit?

Through communication, it can be confirmed that Yongyi seems to have been raised by this so-called Holy Spirit.

Shen Can then realized that this so-called Holy Envoy Clan was actually not strong at all, with only two fifth-tier members.

Back in the era of the Marquis of Yongshan, the Marquis could have easily crushed this so-called Holy Spirit Clan.

But thinking about it again, times have changed. Who knows what it was like eight thousand years ago?

The question now is, what to do next?

He killed five peak-level Divine Treasures and one late-stage Divine Treasure of the so-called Holy Envoy Clan on two separate occasions.

To be honest, if it weren't for the witch formation limiting his speed and Zhulong controlling darkness and daylight in the later wave, he would probably have been the one running away in panic.

The few memories that have been captured show that the tribe was preparing for a sacrifice.

He was already a superior sacrifice, but now he's not only a superior sacrifice, but we're now locked in a life-or-death struggle.

After thinking it over, he realized there was really no way to escape. Even those flying creatures could cross the giant mountain faster than him.

Shen Can looked somewhat serious.

The next one should be a true Tier 5.

Although the Great Beast Core buried beneath the witch array was originally intended to deal with fifth-tier beings, fifth-tier beings are not so easy to deal with, as they can fly.

Under the premise of a fight to the death, having only this one backup plan is probably insufficient.

He took out the witch tower he had previously seized. The tower had three floors, each with patterns of mountains and rivers.

Divine senses enveloped the witch tower, and the runes inside, like stars, outlined a series of spiritual barriers, layer upon layer like three heavens.

The words 'Luo Tian' are inscribed on the base of the Wuta Tower.

"Good stuff."

After gathering his spiritual senses, Shen Can couldn't help but smile with delight. He knew it was his turn for good luck.

This Luo Tian is not only a witchcraft artifact, but also an array artifact, containing three layers of Luo Tian realms.

The Juanshan Cauldron, which was previously used to suppress the witch formation, was a pure witch weapon. But this fifth-tier Luotian Pagoda is different; it was designed with the purpose of setting up an array in mind.

"Ah Chan, put them all away."

The volcano rose from beneath the great formation, and the energy emanating from the clash between the peak Divine Realm warriors exerted immense pressure on him, even through the formation's foundation.

But there's nothing we can do; if he doesn't step up, no one else can.

Including the two guys who were just killed, there were a total of five piles of bones and blood, and seven fourth-tier magical artifacts.

Looking at the five high-grade fourth-tier and two mid-grade fourth-tier magical artifacts placed in front of him, Shen Can finally understood why Yongyi didn't have any famous divine weapons.

At the pinnacle of Yongyi, the mysterious Holy Envoy Clan are the true vampires.
