Chapter 373: Blood-Colored Altar

The fourth Sang person let out a long sigh of relief, feeling fortunate for his narrow escape from death.

But the next second, Ye Lin's voice rang out again like the sound of heaven.

"Second question, what is your leader's name? What are you doing sneaking into the Heaven Refining Secret Realm?"

The fourth man's heart tightened instantly; feeling Ye Lin's large hand resting on top of his head, he did not doubt for a second that this hand would twist his head off in the next moment.

"The leader is Lord Tsuji Kaku, our operation this time is to take the opportunity to trap and kill all the Great Xia people who entered the Heaven Refining Secret Realm!" he hurriedly blurted out.

"Huh? Your goal is the same as mine? Oh no? Did I become a Sang person?"

Ye Lin's face darkened, and he continued to press him.

"With just you stinking fish and rotten shrimp, how could you possibly trap and kill everyone who entered the Heaven Refining Secret Realm?"

"I don't know about that..." The fourth man shook his head. "Lord Tsuji Kaku didn't tell us."

Ye Lin frowned slightly.

"Third question, besides you, are there other overseas nations that have snuck in?"

"No, but many have secretly provided us with help." He shook his head.

"Fourth question, why do you eat people?"

Ye Lin asked the question that had been in his heart; he devoured corpses because Endless Devouring could convert them into his own strength, so why were this group of... well-off Sang people doing this?

"It is a secret technique that Lord Tsuji Kaku obtained from the Demon Race; as long as one eats human flesh and blood, one can increase their strength." The fourth man told him everything he knew, clearly terrified out of his wits by Ye Lin's methods.

Slap!

Ye Lin slapped the fourth man across the face, spinning his head around twice; he was clearly dead beyond any doubt.

"You dog things, you even hooked up with the Demon Race?"

Ye Lin spat on the ground and walked toward the last person.

"I will only ask you one question; if you answer correctly, I will spare your life."

"Please speak, please speak." The last Sang person, hearing he could live, wore a fawning expression.

"How do you draw the blueprints for an anti-matter energy cannon?"

"Nani?" The last Sang person was stunned on the spot.

"You don't know? You have chosen the path of death!"

Ye Lin directly extinguished the last Sang person's life force and then gathered all their souls into the Human Emperor Flag.

He walked toward the woman who had been humiliated by the Sang people; the woman was still breathing, but her body was covered in bite wounds, and there was a large hole in the top of her head; she clearly could not be saved.

"Kill... kill me... Xie..."

The woman's pupils had lost focus, and she could only tremble as she spat out a few words.

"Don't worry, the Sang people in this secret realm will all die, I promise you."

Ye Lin decisively let the woman take her last breath, and a look of slight relief appeared on her face.

After dealing with the scene, Ye Lin stood up, his eyes filled with coldness.

He had not expected that there were rats hiding inside the Heaven Refining Secret Realm.

It didn't matter if he fought the Ye family to the death; that was a family matter, but involving overseas nations was different—he definitely had to deal with the Sang bastards first.

It seemed the plan he had initially formulated would have to be changed.

"Hmm... the Sang people disguising themselves as Ye Nangao to frame the Ye family, that seems quite reasonable, right?" Ye Lin revealed a kind smile, and a new plan slowly took shape.

However, there was still one problem: where was he going to find the remaining Sang people?

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Heaven Refining Secret Realm, a man dressed in black fitted clothing with pink cherry blossoms embroidered on his chest opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his gaze.

He was the leader of this operation, the Tsuji Kaku mentioned by those Sang people just now.

"The aura of five people... has disappeared."

Tsuji Kaku muttered to himself, which meant that five Sang people had met an untimely death.

"In this Heaven Refining Secret Realm, who could have killed them? Are there other experts?"

Tsuji Kaku frowned slightly; the teams of the five great clans were all under their surveillance.

Besides the five great clans, the fact that someone could actually kill people from their Great Sang Empire was completely beyond his expectations.

"It seems I must quicken the pace."

Tsuji Kaku raised his eyes; in front of him was a blood-colored altar that had already been half-built.

The materials used to build this altar were not soil, bricks, or stones, but human bones!

Each bone seemed to contain the deep unwillingness and resentment from when they were alive, together forming the blood-colored altar before him, which permeated with a faint, fishy stench of blood.

"In about ten more days, this altar will be completely finished; by then, the iron hooves of our Great Sang Empire will tread upon your land, Great Xia ancient kingdom... are you ready to welcome your destruction?"

Tsuji Kaku's reddened eyes were filled with madness.

On the other side, the Xie family also discovered something was wrong.

"Lihou, it seems we are being watched!" Xie Diao approached Xie Lihou and said in a low voice.

"I know, you and Xie Mao get ready; as soon as the other party appears, throw sealing techniques directly at them, understand?" Xie Lihou reminded him.

"Got it!"

Xie Diao nodded and retreated to the side without changing his expression; he wanted to see exactly who was bold enough to dare target their Xie family.

And the people following them in the dark were clearly extremely patient; Xie Lihou and his group waited until nightfall.

At night, the sky of the Heaven Refining Secret Realm turned dark red, adding an even more hair-raising atmosphere.

In order to lure the person in the dark into the trap, Xie Lihou simply let everyone rest and reorganize.

They took tents out of their storage spaces, began to set up camp, and after leaving two people to keep watch, the others began to enter the tents to rest.

The night was deep and quiet.

The two Xie family members on watch also began to yawn; a black shadow flashed past behind them, and they did not notice it at all.

It was not until the shadow stood behind them and raised its hand that they seemed to realize something and turned their heads abruptly.

But it was already too late; at this distance, they couldn't even let out a cry for help!

Just as they were about to lose their lives, Xie Diao and Xie Mao, who had been lying in wait all night, appeared!

"Shadow Prison!"

"Net of Time and Space!"

The two struck at the same time, and two sealing techniques directly sealed the black shadow.

At the same time, Xie Lihou also rushed out of the tent.

"You have a lot of nerve, daring to make a move on my Xie family members!"

Xie Lihou shouted in a deep voice, condensed a metal spear in his hand, and stabbed directly at the black shadow.

But at this moment, the black shadow raised one hand and easily grabbed the metal spear Xie Lihou had thrust.

Xie Lihou's pupils shrank violently.

Star Realm!

Anyone who could easily catch this strike of his must be an existence in the Star Realm!

"I really didn't expect that you would be able to discover my existence, but it doesn't matter, you still have to die."

The black shadow sneered, lifted his hood, and revealed a face without any blood, with blue veins extremely prominent, just like a vampire that had been hungry for a long time.

At the same time, four other black shadows also appeared in the night.

All five of them were, without exception, in the Star Realm!
