In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

Fan Tong took a deep breath and finally successfully entered the tribe's secret core.

Before him was a spacious stone chamber, in the center of which stood an ancient stone platform covered with mysterious runes.

The crystal on the stage emitted a faint blue light, as if it were hiding endless secrets.

He slowly walked towards the stone platform and gently touched the crystal with both hands.

Suddenly, a deep, aged voice rang in his ears: "Who are you? Why are you here..."

Fan Tong was startled. He looked up in the direction of the sound, but all he saw was darkness.

An inexplicable chill permeated the stone chamber, as if countless eyes were secretly watching him.

He gripped the spirit pearl tightly, took a firm step forward, and silently vowed, "No matter what lies ahead, I will uncover the truth behind it all!"

Just then, the crystal on the stone platform suddenly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

A blurry figure appeared before Fan Tong's eyes, a figure that seemed to be a mysterious old man in black robes, walking towards him.

"You've finally come, child..." The old man in black robes' voice echoed in the stone chamber, filled with indescribable majesty.

Fan Tong held his breath and carefully observed the runes on the stone platform that were flashing with an eerie light.

The runes seemed to tell an ancient and mysterious story, each symbol emitting a faint blue light that sent chills down one's spine.

He reached out and touched the runes, feeling the ancient power contained within them, as if a mysterious energy was gradually awakening the spiritual pearl within him.

“These runes… what is their connection to the old man in black?” Fan Tong was filled with doubt. He continued to explore the runes on the stone platform, trying to find more clues.

Just then, a sound came from the entrance of the stone chamber. Fan Tong quickly turned his head and saw the red-haired elder and the blue-patterned priest slowly walking into the stone chamber.

Their eyes were filled with anger and vigilance, as if Fan Tong's appearance had disrupted some kind of balance.

"Fan Tong, how dare you trespass here without permission! This is a serious provocation against the tribe's rules!" The red-haired elder's voice was cold and stern, filled with oppressive power.

The blue-striped priest stared coldly at Fan Tong, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes: "Not only have you broken the rules, but you also dared to touch these sacred runes without permission. This is a desecration of the tribe!"

Fan Tong frowned slightly, gripped the spirit pearl in his hand, and replied firmly, "I came here to uncover the secrets of the old man in black robes. Why have you been concealing these truths? Do you also have ulterior motives?"

The red-haired elder and the blue-striped priest's faces instantly turned ashen, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

The red-haired elder's voice was full of warning: "How dare you question us? You are nothing but the son of a sinner, yet you dare to spout such nonsense here!"

Fan Tong did not back down at all, his "

Just then, a sound came from the entrance of the stone chamber again, and the figure of a purple-haired youth appeared at the door. He was seriously injured and barely breathing.

The purple-haired youth was dragged into the stone chamber by two tribal warriors dressed in animal skins.

His animal hide armor was tattered and stained with blood. His once bold face was now contorted with pain, and each breath he took sounded like a broken bellows, producing a hoarse gasp.

When Fan Tong saw the purple-haired youth's appearance, his heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

He clenched his teeth, his fists cracking as a wave of intense guilt washed over him, completely overwhelming him.

He knew that the purple-haired youth had ended up in this situation because he had helped him, and this kindness weighed heavily on his mind.

He felt like a whirlpool that brought misfortune to those around him wherever he went.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, but the red-haired elder's cold voice echoed in his ears again: "Do you see? This is the consequence of associating with you. Son of a sinner, you will only bring disaster to others!"

The blue-striped priest added menacingly, "You not only betrayed the tribe, but also implicated innocent people. You deserve to die!"

Fan Tong looked around. The towering stone walls, the cold runes, the hostile elders and priests, and the dying purple-haired youth enveloped him with a deep sense of oppression, as if he were in a huge cage, and he was a trapped beast with nowhere to escape.

Just then, a gentle figure appeared in his mind.

That was a girl in white. Her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, and the trust and encouragement in her eyes illuminated his path forward like starlight.

He remembered what she had once told him: "Fan Tong, no matter what happens, I will support you."

The words of the girl in white were like sweet spring water, nourishing Fan Tong's parched heart and giving him endless strength.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, causing a sharp pain that also made him more alert.

He could not be intimidated by the predicament before him. He had to unravel all the mysteries and prove to everyone that he was not the son of a sinner, but a true man.

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping firmly over the red-haired elder and the blue-patterned priest, and slowly said, "Do you think this will make me submit? Let me tell you, absolutely not! I will uncover the secret of the black-robed elder and restore justice!"

The red-haired elder and the blue-striped priest's faces grew even more somber. Just as the atmosphere was about to reach its climax, a clear, cold voice broke the deadlock.

"enough."

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that instantly froze the tense atmosphere.

All eyes followed the sound toward the entrance to the stone chamber.

Fan Tong gripped the spirit pearl tightly, his gaze unwavering as he met the anger of the red-haired elder and the blue-patterned priest.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from the entrance of the stone chamber, breaking the deadlock like ice: "Enough."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Azure Feather Envoy slowly walking into the stone chamber.

He stood tall and straight, his eyes resolute, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority: "Red-haired elder, blue-striped priest, haven't you noticed? Fan Tong did this to save the tribe."

The red-haired elder and the blue-patterned priest's expressions changed slightly; the appearance of the Azure Feather Envoy was clearly unexpected.

They exchanged glances, seemingly weighing the words of the Azure Feather Envoy.

"Save the tribe?" The red-haired elder sneered. "What can he, the son of a sinner, do? He'll only cause trouble!"

The Azure Feather Envoy did not back down. He said firmly, "Think about it carefully. Aren't the various disasters that the tribe has suffered recently caused by some kind of force? Fan Tong went deep into the core to find and solve this problem."

The red-haired elder and the blue-striped priest fell into deep thought.

A hint of hesitation appeared in their eyes; clearly, the Azure Feather Envoy's words had touched upon their deepest anxieties.

Just then, the dark power within the stone chamber suddenly awakened, and a giant dark shadow slowly rose from the stone platform, transforming into a massive dark beast.

Its gaze was like an abyss, emanating a chilling aura.

The roar of the behemoth was deafening, and the entire stone chamber seemed to tremble.

"What kind of monster is this!" the red-haired elder exclaimed, a faint red light emanating from his hand, clearly indicating that he was ready for battle.

Fan Tong's gaze was calm and firm. He quickly pulled the purple-haired youth behind him to protect him.

Despite his injuries, the purple-haired youth's eyes shone with an indomitable light: "Fan Tong, I can still fight."

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Feather Envoy as he drew a slender longsword and pointed it at the dark behemoth: "We must unite, or none of us will survive."

The dark behemoth let out a deafening roar, swung its enormous claws, and pounced towards the group.

Fan Tong nimbly dodged, the spirit pearl in his hand gleaming with blue light as he constantly looked for an opportunity to counterattack.

Each attack from the behemoth carried a powerful dark force, distorting the surrounding space and making the battle even more dangerous.

Fan Tong discovers that the source of the dark beast's power is a dark heart located inside its chest.

He quickly signaled to the purple-haired youth and the blue-feathered envoy, and the three of them swiftly formed a combined attack formation.

Fan Tong's spirit pearl, the purple-haired youth's blade light, and the Qingyu Envoy's sword light converged at the chest of the dark behemoth, emitting a fierce light.

The Heart of Darkness was shattered at that moment, and the dark behemoth let out a shrill scream before gradually dissipating.

After the giant beast disappeared, silence enveloped the stone chamber.

Fan Tong's gaze fell on the stone platform, where he discovered a letter with the words "Fan Tong" written on the envelope in ancient runes.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened the envelope. The contents of the letter shocked him greatly.

After reading the letter, Fan Tong's face showed a complicated expression, as if he had made some important decision in his heart.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the red-haired elder and the blue-striped priest, but he did not utter a single word.
