923 The summoning altar

The pitch-black underground was silent. Even though there was a sun-like lighting tool above their heads, the oppressive atmosphere did not diminish in the slightest.

Unknowingly, Tang Zhen had walked to an area that seemed to be a square. The area was vast and the surroundings were filled with broken walls.

More than a dozen huge statues were standing quietly around the square. They were full of marks left by knives and axes, and they looked incomplete.

To be able to be carved into a statue and stand in the square of the loucheng, one must either be the past castellans of the loucheng or have made great contributions to the loucheng. Ordinary residents could not obtain this Supreme honor!

Under the pitch-black ocean floor, the statues were covered in all kinds of rust and parasites, making them look mottled.

However, Tang Zhen could still faintly feel the unique aura of the cultivators in the city from these statues. They were fearless and had no regrets even if they died a hundred times!

Tang Zhen was silent for a long time as he sized up the statues that had different appearances and different armors.

The growth and strength of a City Tower required the hard work of countless residents. During this period, there would inevitably be sacrifices, which was something that could not be avoided.

Every city was the same.

Even if the Holy Dragon City had special means to retrieve the souls of the dead and resurrect them, there would still be some special circumstances that would cause the souls to be unable to be retrieved.

This was also something that could not be resisted. Even Tang Zhen had no way to do it.

Sometimes, Tang Zhen wondered if he should build a special building to pay tribute to the residents of the tower City who had died in battle!

At this moment, a voice came from the communication device. It was a Holy Dragon City Lord cultivator.

city Lord, we found a location that might be the target we are looking for!

When Tang Zhen heard this, his body suddenly rose from the square and rushed straight towards the Overlord cultivator’s position according to the location displayed in front of his eyes.

However, after a dozen breaths, Tang Zhen saw the Holy Dragon City cultivators gathered together. At the same time, he also saw the location they mentioned.

This was an execution ground!

Looking up, he saw that the ground was covered with dense bones, corroded by the seawater. If he didn’t look carefully, he would mistake it for a Hill on the bottom of the sea.

However, after the mud on the surface was removed, layers of bones could be seen. The number was uncountable!

Tang Zhen did not know the identity of these corpses when they were alive. However, he could make a judgment from the traces left behind on their bones. They had all been killed by sharp blades.

Perhaps this was the masterpiece of the mysterious continent-level city, a blood sacrifice for the dead!

Tang Zhen shifted his gaze away from those incomplete skeletons. An altar appeared in his eyes. It covered an area of several tens of square meters and had a strange and peculiar shape.

In the areas not covered by the mud, rows of strange runes could be seen. They seemed to be very complicated and profound!

Tang Zhen leaned forward. He extended his hand and gently waved it. Soon after, a torrent appeared from the bottom of the sea, washing away all the mud on the altar.

The full appearance of this mysterious altar also entered Tang Zhen’s eyes.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Tang Zhen sighed in relief and gently nodded.

He waved his hand and called for the cultivators to come forward and cut the foundation around the altar. Then, Tang Zhen kept it in his storage space.

mission accomplished. We’ll retreat immediately!

The Lords nodded and followed Tang Zhen back to the surface.

……

The people waiting on the warship only heard the sound of something breaking through the air. The figures of Tang Zhen and the others had already rushed out of the sea and steadily landed on the bed.

Sitting on the chair, Tang Zhen pondered for a moment and said to the few Overlord cultivators who were in charge of the battle,”When we return to the sea Spirit tribe, I’ll do my best to repair the summoning altar and make sure it can be used as soon as possible.

As for you, you have things to do as well.

“There isn’t much time left for the deadline. We can exert more pressure on those tribes that have yet to express their stance and hand over their Guardian Summoners. We can let them experience our strength and know that resistance is of no use.

The negotiations with the nine-headed snake tribe must be concluded as soon as possible. I want the results in three days at the latest. If they continue to be stubborn, I don’t mind annihilating them and the other two tribes!

As for the other two tribes, give them the same ultimatum. They can relax their conditions a little. After all, I only want the treasures and guardians of the tribes!”

After Tang Zhen said this, he turned his head and looked at a Lord Grade cultivator.

“Recently, you’ve been pretending to be Pirates to attack those small tribes, and the results have been good. You’ve done well!

As far as I know, many pirate teams have followed suit and sent a large number of treasures. They even caught a few Guardian Summoners!

However, this isn’t enough. We need to make these Pirates even more courageous so that they can attack and loot even larger tribes. This will make our next move more convenient.

Go back and tell the person in charge of the exchange in the fleet to increase the number of weapons such as grenades to improve the combat power of the Pirates. We have a lot of those things anyway, it’s just for the transportation to make an extra trip!

I’ll use these Pirates to cause chaos in the tribes that try to resist, and we’ll just sit back and reap the benefits!”

After thinking for a moment, Tang Zhen warned again,”As for the tribes that have handed over their Guardian Summoners, we can give them a certain reward and provide them with a way to prove their identity so that they won’t be attacked by Pirates!

Of course, if there are any Pirates who dare to ignore our rules, there’s no need to be polite. We’ll just exterminate them!”

Tang Zhen let out a long sigh of relief when he said this. He leaned his body against the chair and began to close his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, the surrounding Holy Dragon City cultivators immediately retreated to the side and got busy.

In the following time, the fleet quickly headed towards the location of the sea Spirit tribe. Then, under the countless gazes of the people in front of the tribe, they slowly approached the newly built floating island in the center of the tribe.

Tang Zhen walked down and placed the summoning altar in the center of the floating island. He then focused his attention on studying it.

The symbols on the altar were rather complicated. Even with Tang Zhen’s current knowledge of symbols, he still needed to carefully distinguish them.

After all, this altar had existed for a long time, and it was extremely difficult to pass down the knowledge of the world of loucheng. Even the same rune could have many variations. If it were someone else, they would not be able to understand it at all.

While Tang Zhen was studying the runic magic circle, a group of Holy Dragon City cultivators began to wander around the floating island. They were constantly discussing and studying, and even gesturing from time to time.

They were studying how to set up weapons to kill the summoned guardians!

According to what Tang Zhen had said on the ship, after the summoning altar was activated, it was like a black hole that suddenly opened beside the tribal guardians. It could instantly suck them into the water world!

If the summoner was not willing to cooperate, the summoning altar could still force the summoner to be summoned. However, the price was that the summoner and the summoned creature would be forced to merge!

When the continent-level building first activated the summoning altar, it used a forced summoning. It fused the summoner with the summoned creature, then killed it, and then tied its body to the seabed tomb with chains.

The continent-level tower was deliberately built, and the Holy Dragon City would not use the forced integration method unless it was absolutely necessary.

What Tang Zhen needed was to forcefully summon those tribal guardians over and then concentrate their firepower to kill them!
