Chapter 1535: Chapter 1535: Is there something below?

The elder tribe leader shouted at them fiercely.

"If those two people were really so easy to deal with, look at your faces, would you be in such a state? What have you become?"

"Uh."

Everyone was silenced by the elder tribe leader’s words, and they immediately lowered their heads without speaking further.

"It’s not that I want to bow down to the people from Wuzhu Teahouse, but they said that if we don’t hand over the hearts of those people, they will go directly to the Demon Clan, to our tribe’s Purification Pool..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone was greatly shocked.

Go to the Purification Pool for what? To steal those hearts?

That really did sound like something those two people would do. Their subordinates didn’t hesitate to strike, showing that those two were certainly no good either.

"Elder..."

"No need to say anything else."

Seeing they still had something to say, the elder tribe leader raised his hand to stop them.

"If you want the Purification Pool to continue protecting our tribespeople, Nineteen, you must bring back the hearts safely, understand?"

He looked at Nineteen and spoke earnestly.

"I... Elder, I understand," Nineteen said, nodding her head reluctantly.

Compared to the hearts of those people, it was natural for her to protect the Purification Pool in their tribe.

After all, those people could be killed again at any time, but without the Purification Pool, there would be no good days for their tribe.

"Nineteen, you mustn’t even think about playing tricks with the hearts. The people from Wuzhu Teahouse are no easy target, and if they find out we’re fooling them, it’s very likely they will destroy our entire tribe!"

Seeing that Nineteen agreed but was so reluctant, the elder tribe leader could only reiterate his instructions and warning.

"Elder, I understand," Nineteen replied, daring not to express any further grievances.

"Mm, as long as you understand. It’s best we do not offend the people from Wuzhu Teahouse," the elder tribe leader nodded.

...

Two people stood on the desolate ritual site.

"Here, besides the aura of the Demon Clan, there really isn’t anything else. I can’t see anything at all," Lin Caisang said after carefully examining the ritual site several times, but finding nothing. She rose to her feet and looked towards Sui Zimo.

"I’ll take another look."

Sui Zimo raised his hand, lightly tapped her head, and continued to move among the stone pillars, hoping to discern something.

According to the elder tribe leader, this place was where people from the county town dried up the blood of the Demon Clan.

But how could the Demon Clan not even put up a bit of resistance when simply tied up? It was clear that there was something strange about this place, they just hadn’t seen it yet.

"Sang’er, you say, with so many of the Demon Clan killed, there should be a lot of blood, right? But why..."

He glanced at the stone pillars and then at the ground beneath the ritual site.

"Right!"

Lin Caisang’s eyes lit up with realization as he mentioned it.

"This place looks quite sinister and frightening, but if you hadn’t reminded me, I really wouldn’t have thought of it."

Apart from the bloodstains on the stone pillars, the ground where they stood was very clean, without a single trace of bloodstains.

If there was anything odd about this ritual site, it would be the ground they were standing on.

"Brother Molian, do you think there’s something underneath this ritual site?" she asked.
