He didn’t quite understand why they called it ’swiping things,’ but that wasn’t important.

Listening to Acan was always right.

Boom!

Huo Shan threw a punch at the Great Elder Luo River, who was rushing out of the Vine Hall.

The entire valley echoed with a roaring sound.

...

Outside the valley.

The injured elders of the Luo River were already there, but upon hearing the rumbling sound of battle from within the valley, each of them changed color drastically.

"Divine Treasure!"

"The people with this young pest are Tier Four Powerhouses!"

"It’s over, they’ve found a powerful backing."

In the eyes of these old elders, only a Divine Treasure could stand against their ancestor.

After all, besides these elders, the Luo River Bo Division also had many Celestial Vein Ninth Layer Martial Artists, none of whom could feel the aura of the Divine Treasure without kneeling.

No wonder this little beast was so reckless; he was well-prepared for his return.

The valley inside was continuously erupting with loud explosions, and occasionally a patch of rune spirit ban would suddenly light up.

From the outside, it seemed like energy waves from the collision.

But inside the valley, it was actually caused by Huo Shan or the Great Elder Luo River being struck and colliding with the valley’s spirit ban.

Both kept knocking each other back.

Overall, Huo Shan was knocked flying more often, while the Great Elder Luo River was knocked less.

Yet, Huo Shan’s blood intensifying like a volcanic eruption, became fiercer the more he fought.

Being blasted away was never a shame for him, as he was confronting a Divine Treasure; being able to battle with one was enough.

Haha!

"Come again!"

After being smacked away by a hand like wooden grain again, Huo Shan shook his body.

The five-zhang tall Fire Ape body, with arms bulging with veins like dragons, clapped his hands against his chest.

Laughing heartily, he charged forward again.

"You insolent junior, enough is enough; I’m not your trial stone!"

The Great Elder Luo River was thoroughly frustrated, though he could suppress Huo Shan.

But he could only suppress him.

"Acan said you are!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder Luo River was furious.

...

Half an hour later, the valley finally fell silent.

This frightened the Luo River Clan people guarding outside the valley.

To battle with their ancestor for half an hour, how strong must he be?

Inside the valley.

Huo Shan reverted to his human form, leaning against a rock wall.

"The Ancestral Temple Keeper said if you dare kill me, he’ll uproot you all."

"The Ancestral Temple Keeper also said if you don’t provide witch medicine to restore primordial energy, he’ll uproot everything here too."

...

Outside the Blood Vine Hall.

Three shriveled figures, with faces indistinguishable, displayed furious expressions.

"How dare he insult me like this without even being here!"

"We, the mighty Luo River, with a legacy spanning thousands of years, renowned far and wide, he treats us as nothing!"

The three elders of Luo River were enraged.

After their anger.

"Swear never to return, and we will give you witch medicine!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Shan shook his head repeatedly and closed his eyes.

After all, the one before him was a Tier Four Divine Treasure, and compared to Acan, his war body’s strength paled, enduring such a long struggle had caused many fractures.

But this battle wasn’t without gains.

Previously, within the clan, he had consumed three Great Tripod Cauldron witch potion soups, with much of the medicinal power settling inside him.

This exhilarating battle had stirred some of the medicinal power, swiftly repairing the fractures in his bones and flesh, as numerous Fire Ape Beast Patterns illuminated, absorbing the medicinal power.

"This big fool even dares ignore me!"

"What tribe are they from, this just won’t end!"

Saying this, the three elders looked up toward Luo Feng standing above the valley.

With their discerning eyes, they naturally saw that Luo Feng was crippled, without limbs.

"Speak!"

The Great Elder started, as Luo Feng was his offspring, though he had long forgotten about Luo Feng’s mother.

After she bore Luo Feng, she was likely drowned to death.

"I am the Ancestral Temple Keeper’s pawn, the lone pawn, and if I die, he’ll send someone to eradicate you all."

Luo Feng naturally knew where his arrogance stemmed from.

There were still two Young Masters in the Luo River Bo Division.

They must be eliminated.

"By the way, some elders outside just called me a little beast; considering I’m an old beast, should they be dealt with so I can become the new clan leader?"

"Oh, I’ve come with a mission."

"...complete the mission, and uproot you all..."

"Pest, shut up!" barked the Great Elder Luo River.

This pest!

"What exactly do you want!"

The three didn’t ask who the Ancestral Temple Keeper was.

Actually, there was no need to ask; only two had broken in here, Yann Wanyun and that shape-shifting guy.

Moreover, this one in front of them could also transform.

Whod’ve thought such despicable wretches would be from the Ancestral Temple Keeper.

"As the ancestor’s offspring, I must restore the prestige of Luo River!"

Luo Feng gazed at the cruel visages of the three elders, feeling unspeakable delight.

So exhilarating!

You wretched old men, you have your days now.

This was more satisfying than just killing them.

The Ancestral Temple Keeper surely had foresight, letting them die was too merciful.

Aren’t you afraid of death; but he wants to send you old men righteously to death.

"By the way, the Ancestral Temple Keeper asked me to inquire whether you possess undead bodies.

I remember from my generation upwards, the number of young masters born every century isn’t few, were they all refined away?

Are there any remnants?"

Upon hearing this, the three Luo River elders glanced at each other.

"Deliver a message to the Ancestral Temple Keeper, tell him to swear..."

The Luo River Clan Chief spoke, but his voice trailed off halfway.

Swearing seemed effective, yet ineffective. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Though the Ancestral Temple Keeper had not come, he hadn’t stopped taking things.

Yet sent out another one that matched a Quasi-God Treasure.
