Chapter 2402: Collect in Advance

After the split finished observing here, it surveyed the surroundings and discovered a medium-sized Warship belonging to Xiao Muyu, rushing toward that tribe.

Meanwhile, You Ming's Flying Boat, even at full speed, would still need more than ten days to catch up!

The split thought for a moment, piloted the Flying Swallow to land at a spot in the east near the Altar, stowed the Flying Boat, donned the Invisibility Cloak, and hurried to the Altar.

Fearing detection by the local tribe, the split disembarked from the Flying Boat at a distance.

On the way it even caught a wild wolf for transport, rushing toward the tribe.

Thus it arrived near the Altar three days earlier than Xiao Muyu.

Along the road, it also saw some Martial Cultivators dressed like hunters hurrying toward the tribe.

These people still did not know what was happening.

But when they heard the tribe's rallying horn, everyone knew a major event was imminent, so they hurried along, no one had the mind to hunt, and no one cared about the wolf.

Wearing the Invisibility Cloak, the split was invisible to them.

Nevertheless, the split released the wolf, letting it blend into the tribe together.

When passing the Altar, the split carefully examined the Altar and its surroundings, asking Liu Jing, who is skilled with mechanisms in Ye Liuyun's Space World, to analyze how to extract that stone pedestal.

Within the tribe, the Clan Chief announced to all the people that someone was about to invade, urging them to prepare for battle.

The split assessed the tribe's strength and realized they were certainly not opponents.

The tribe had too few members; Martial Cultivators who had reached the First Realm numbered fewer than three hundred.

Moreover, they had no Formation.

The locals, aside from having relatively robust Physical Body, seemed to have no other advantages.

Therefore in this battle, they should have little chance of victory.

Thus the split returned near the Altar, looking for a chance to approach the stone pedestal.

Two tribal guards of the Altar were chatting quietly, and the split eavesdropped some information.

"I heard the High Priest is preparing to seal the entire Altar with his own blood; I wonder if that's true?"

"It's true! They're already preparing the sacrificial offering, so it can't be false."

"Are we really that dangerous?"

"They say those outsiders are powerful and want to make us their slaves."

The two kept chatting when a burly man walked over and scolded them: "What are you muttering?"

"Stand guard properly, stay alert, and don't let anyone exploit a loophole!"

"Yes!"

The two replied and dared not continue their conversation.

The split followed the man, launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, placed a Slave Seal on him, and also gathered some information about the tribe.

The man was named Da Chuan, the leader of the Altar guards.

And their High Priest truly intends to use his own blood to set up a Formation to protect this place.

However, the sacrifice won't begin until tomorrow, so there is still a chance to stop it.

From Da Chuan's memories, the split also found a way to open the Altar's apex; after confirming with Liu Jing, it felt ready to act.

But it needed to control everyone here in advance, otherwise the news would leak and attract the tribe.

Thus, Ye Liuyun began using Spiritual Soul Attacks, subjugating each guard here one by one, and finally arrived at the temporary residence of the High Priest's door.

"Come in!"

A voice from the door suddenly shouted the High Priest's words, startling Ye Liuyun.

The High Priest, clearly only at the Ninth Layer Late Stage, somehow detected him.

Ye Liuyun hesitated, but pushed the door open and stepped inside.

The High Priest was also a bit surprised; he could not see anyone yet could sense someone entering.

"Outsiders, why have you come to our place?"

The High Priest asked Ye Liuyun.

"I am not coming against you.

I am here to kill that army's leader.

I followed them; I am not here to deal with you."

Ye Liuyun replied.

"Then why did you come to our Altar?"

The High Priest clearly did not believe Ye Liuyun's words.

"Because I know he will definitely come here, and attacking him here would be when his defenses are weakest."

Ye Liuyun did not concern himself with whether he believed it.

The High Priest was silent for a moment, then asked the split: "Our tribe is certainly not your opponent.

If I were to give you that holy relic, could you guarantee our safety?"

"What holy relic?

What is it used for?"

The split pretended not to know about the stone pedestal and asked deliberately.

"You don't know?"

The High Priest asked curiously.

"I just arrived; how could I know what holy relic you have?"

The split retorted.

The High Priest smiled, shook his head and said, "Since you won't admit it, there's nothing I can do..."

He was speaking, but suddenly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack at his clone.

"……" the clone was also speechless.

The High Priest's Soul is indeed strong compared to the people here, but compared to the clone, it's still far behind!

The clone's Soul communicated with him: "I thought you'd use some other method!"

Immediately, the clone directly implanted a Slave Seal on him and began a Soul Search.

It turns out that the people here are not skilled in Soul cultivation; reaching the High Priest's level is already difficult.

Many people don't even know how to perform a Spiritual Soul Attack.

And this High Priest obtained his position precisely because he knows how to perform a Spiritual Soul Attack.

He himself never expected that his Spiritual Soul Attack would be so childish in front of Ye Liuyun.

However, the High Priest also has a formidable ability: using his own fresh blood to connect the Altar and set up a Formation.

As for this Formation, the clone immediately informed Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun also asked Formation Masters like Qiong Qi, confirming that it could indeed slay many Supergod Realm powerhouses.

And the Holy Object spoken of by the High Priest is that stone pedestal.

The stone pedestal is called a Holy Object because it can be activated by bloodline power, and once activated, it releases a great deal of light.

That light, however, can enhance the Physical Body's strength and bloodline purity.

The people of their tribe also rely on this stone pedestal to increase their strength.

The clone released his Soul back, letting him bring himself to retrieve that stone pedestal.

Now everyone here is already under the clone's control, and with the High Priest leading, no one will suspect anything.

But after the High Priest opened the Altar, Ye Liuyun encountered trouble.

That stone pedestal looks small, but it is extremely heavy; Ye Liuyun tried to use Space Translocation power to take it away, but couldn't move it at all.

This is the first time Ye Liuyun has encountered such a situation.

"We also only managed to move this stone pedestal here by combining the strength of the whole tribe."

"One person simply cannot move it."

The High Priest told the clone.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also asked Ye Ling for help, telling her the situation.

Ye Ling thought for a moment and had the clone try using the power of Space World to collect that stone pedestal.

"Usually, an individual cannot take such a thing because they feel they are not strong enough and are unwilling to submit."

But if you use the power of the Space World, as soon as he feels it, it will be taken, and it does not require your actual consumption of power, so don't worry.

Ye Ling told Ye Liuyun.
