I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Deep in the Giant Mountain Range.

Yu Bo, along with Yu Xiong, Yu Lie, and Yu Qio, deliberately avoided Luwu’s dwelling, searching for the whereabouts of the Auspicious Beast.

Auspicious Beasts are not merely aesthetically pleasing and spiritually attuned; within the Wild Beast race, they are akin to the Innate Spirit Race, blessed with the fortunes of heaven and earth, similar to the Witch Priest of the Human Race.

Luwu’s closest Auspicious Beast is rumored to have the blood of the Golden Strider, the mythical creature with horns on its back, said to extend a rider’s life by two thousand years with just one ride.

Of course, whether this is merely legend or reality is unclear, but the horn of the Golden Strider does possess life-extending properties.

Wild Beasts inherently have long lifespans, and the descendants of the Golden Strider have even more; it is said they live longer than Luwu.

Luwu was able to advance step by step from Tier Four to Tier Five and awaken the Luwu bloodline with the assistance of the Golden Strider.

This old Golden Strider descendant treats the Auspicious Beasts in the mountains very kindly, and naturally, Luwu, who advanced with its help, also became a protector of the mountain’s Auspicious Beasts.

Yu Bo, entering the Giant Peak Mountain with his team, to avoid alarming Luwu, did not target the scarce Tier Four Auspicious Beasts but instead focused on the Tier Three Auspicious Beasts.

However, the vastness of the Giant Mountain Range makes finding even Tier Three Auspicious Beasts challenging.

The four split up, quietly searching the forests, which made it difficult for Xuan Chi, who followed with a message, to locate them.

After walking a distance, they would cry out once, and by the time Xuan Chi found Yu Qio, a full month had passed.

Only then did Xuan Chi learn that the Hunting Sacrificial Envoy had split into two groups, with Yu Bo leading Yu Qio and others into the mountains, while the rest searched for less prominent but vigorous humans in Yongyi.

In the absence of convenient communication, they could only wait at the agreed gathering point.

Half a month later, Yu Xiong and Yu Lie returned, empty-handed.

Several days later, Yu Bo returned with a small, unconscious beast in his claws.

The little beast had horns on its head, a scaly hide, a dirt-black color, and was covered in unpleasant bumps—it was not very pleasant to look at.

"Is this an Auspicious Beast?"

Yu Xiong and the others gathered around, peering at the small beast in Yu Bo’s claws.

Seeing the disbelief, a blue light flashed on Yu Bo’s claws, and a Wind Blade like a knife pierced into the little beast’s body.

The unconscious beast cried out in pain, and suddenly its bumpy body lit up, the bumps disappearing and the dirt-black color fading to a pure white.

"It can self-purify."

Yu Bo nodded; he had nearly been deceived by this creature. Despite being just a foot long, it was at the Tier Three Peak level.

When captured, it was disguised as a cub suckling in a female wolf’s embrace.

"Yu Bo, Xuan Chi brought orders from the Great Witch Priest."

"Yu Ling was killed by his sacrificial offering while capturing it in Yongyi."

"The Great Witch Priest orders us to capture the sacrificial offering."

At this moment, before Xuan Chi could speak, Yu Lie and the others each spoke a line, completing his thoughts.

"The sacrificial offering killed Yu Ling?"

Yu Bo’s expression hardened, looking at Xuan Chi, "I remembered you were on good terms with Yu Ling. Was it you who suggested Yu Ling go to the Northern Border instead of deep into Yongyi?"

"Yes, I also didn’t expect that a Bo Division, only around for a hundred years, could even take down Brother Yu Ling."

Xuan Chi was speechless, but could he be blamed?

It didn’t seem right to blame Yu Ling either; you can’t call a Martial Artist at the Peak of Divine Treasure a waste.

Not only was Yu Bo puzzled, but the other three Hunting Sacrificial Envoys were as well.

Looking across Yongyi, without a Tier Five emerging, who else could eliminate their Hunting Sacrificial Envoys?

It’s not that their combat ability is unparalleled; it’s just that their race had undergone the Holy Spirit’s blessing and cleansing, stripping away some of their human blood and infusing a bit of Profound Bird power, mastering Wind’s Swift.

Within the same tier, could anyone withstand one assault from them, let alone a hundred?

Yes, their divine technique relies on speed!

"The Great Witch Priest ordered me to bring the Heaven-Encompassing Tower."

Xuan Chi produced a dark Witch Tower, one of the only three Tier Five Witch Artifacts left in the clan.

Legend has it that eight thousand years ago, the clan even had Tier Six Witch Artifacts.

"Doesn’t matter if that tribe is a den of dragons and tigers; with the Heaven-Encompassing Tower, it’s enough."

Yu Lie spoke, eyes glimmering as he gazed at the Tier Five Witch Tower.

Tier Five Witch Artifacts are precious, but they’re not easy to use; to unleash potent power, they all need to combine their blood energy.

Any one of them using it alone would not even wield a tenth of its power, and it would drain the entire Divine Treasure of its blood energy.

However, the power of a Tier Five Witch Artifact, even less than a tenth, is enough to easily slaughter any Tier Four Peak.

"Let’s go!"

Yu Bo grabbed the Heaven-Encompassing Tower, tossing the Auspicious Beast in his claws to Xuan Chi, and took the lead, spreading his wings towards the Giant Mountain Range.

Yu Ling died an honorable death; otherwise, if the Great Witch Priest was thrilled with the sacrificial offering captured and brought back, then, as the head of the Hunting Sacrificial Envoys, he’d be ousted.

Screech! Screech! Screech!

The other three Hunting Sacrificial Envoys spread their wings and followed.

Xuan Chi looked at the little beast in his claws, contemplated, and followed suit.

...

Blazing Flame Race Territory.

"This is the place?"

Yu Bo soared through the sky, taking in the scene around the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple.

The small mountain wasn’t tall and appeared unimpressive, with a lone, small hall standing lonely on the mountaintop.

His eyes gleamed, searching for the sacrificial offering.

"The sacrificial offering has appeared!"

Upon seeing a dark figure below, they all perked up instantly.

...

Below, several dark figures suddenly leapt from the sky; how could Shen Can not notice?

"One, two, three, four..."

Shen Can looked up, his gaze sweeping around.

Something’s not right; one of them has a slightly weaker aura—it’s the one that came and fled before.
