In that instant, Wendy felt as though she could not breathe.

"I can kill any one of you at any time! You have no right to bargain with me! I will not allow you to waste any more time; all you need to do is keep your mouths shut and follow me," Elder Lawrence declared before turning around and continuing onward.

Finally, Wendy was able to breathe again.

The group felt a deep sense of anger at Lawrence\'s actions, but they had no way to oppose him, as their strength was far inferior to his. Even if Aron and the others joined forces, they could not hope to defeat Elder Lawrence in his current state.

They exchanged glances, silently communicating with one another. After a moment of contemplation, they all agreed to continue following Elder Lawrence.

In a situation where they could not guarantee success, they knew they needed to remain calm. Thus, Elder Lawrence and his entourage pressed on deeper into the underground tomb.

At the same time, Irving and the werewolf leader discovered relevant clues within the massive structure. They found traces of the Blood of the Abyss.

The werewolf leader spoke to Irving in an extremely angry tone. "Elder Lawrence must be trying to steal the power of the divine! He has surely already entered the depths of the underground tomb!"

Irving felt a bit confused by the werewolf leader\'s statement. He decided to ask directly, "How did you come to that conclusion? I have very little information on the matter; could you explain it to me?"

Irving hoped to take this opportunity to gather more information. In his view, although the werewolf leader was currently cooperating with him, it was possible that they could soon become enemies. He needed to collect enough information while he still had the chance.

The werewolf leader nodded. "I will provide you with sufficient information because I must rely on your help to succeed in this endeavor."

After the werewolf leader finished speaking, he pondered for a moment before explaining how he reached his conclusion.

"I previously mentioned to you that this structure is a place of worship for our werewolf clan. The rituals conducted here involve offering the Blood of the Abyss to the great werewolf god. Only the Blood of the Abyss can open the passage to the underground tomb. Furthermore, once we offer enough Blood of the Abyss to the great werewolf god, He will grant us immense power.

At the same time, the werewolf god sends forth His messengers. These messengers can bestow the divine power upon the strongest warriors in the clan. This way, the clan\'s powerful warriors can use the strength of the werewolf god to protect the safety of the clan."

The werewolf leader\'s description gave Irving valuable insights into the werewolf clan\'s ritual practices. However, he still hadn\'t explained how Elder Lawrence intended to steal divine power through the Blood of the Abyss.

"Based on what you said, shouldn\'t the Blood of the Abyss be offered to the werewolf god in order to obtain divine power? Elder Lawrence doesn\'t seem to have offered the Blood of the Abyss to the werewolf god. How could he possibly steal divine power in this manner? Is it possible that there is a prepared ritual within the underground tomb?" Irving voiced his speculation.

The werewolf leader nodded gravely in agreement. "You are correct; there is indeed a prepared ritual in the depths of the underground tomb. Furthermore, anyone who enters the deeper parts of the tomb can activate the ritual."

The werewolf leader\'s words left Irving in shock.

"Why has your werewolf clan set things up this way? Aren\'t you worried that outsiders could take advantage of the ritual in the depths of the underground tomb? You seem to be a bit careless," Irving questioned.

The werewolf leader did not blame Irving for his words. In fact, he felt that there were indeed issues with his clan\'s approach.

"I also find this arrangement very strange. However, the elders within the clan once told me that the werewolf god conveyed His divine will. Any clan that worships Him must establish a complete ritual in the depths of the underground tomb. Although they do not understand why the werewolf god requires this, they feel compelled to follow His divine command.

After all, it is the only way to gain the werewolf god\'s protection."

After hearing the werewolf leader\'s explanation, Irving seemed to grasp some crucial information. He believed that the werewolf god likely established these rituals to ensure He could descend upon any werewolf clan at any time.

"It seems that the werewolf god you have been worshiping isn\'t very friendly. He probably expects you to use your hunted prey as offerings to Him, doesn\'t He?" Irving suggested.

The werewolf leader silently nodded, acknowledging Irving\'s suspicion.

"It appears that in order to gain powerful strength, you must also pay a significant price. So, when Elder Lawrence seeks to steal divine power, does he not have to pay a price as well?"

"He certainly must pay a price. If I\'m not mistaken, he has already been corrupted by the Blood of the Abyss. His time is running out because the corruption from the Blood of the Abyss can cause a person\'s body and soul to disintegrate into nothing," the werewolf leader stated directly, offering his judgment.

Although the werewolf leader had never personally used the Blood of the Abyss, he was quite familiar with it. The Blood of the Abyss all originates from the Abyss of Death. It is said that this blood is created by an extremely terrifying and powerful entity residing in the deepest part of the Abyss of Death.

Despite having "blood" in its name, the Blood of the Abyss is essentially akin to a cursed artifact.

The werewolf leader shared all the information he knew about the Blood of the Abyss with Irving.

In an instant, Irving realized that there must be a very close connection between the Blood of the Abyss and the Night Blades.

"I seem to have figured out something very important. Now I understand why the two elders of the Night Blades wanted to help us. They must be worried that Elder Lawrence will use the Blood of the Abyss to uncover the secrets of the Night Blades. There\'s no doubt that Elder Lawrence has betrayed the Night Blades."

After coming to this realization, Irving devised what he believed to be a perfect plan in his mind. He not only aimed to take this opportunity to eliminate Elder Lawrence but also hoped to significantly weaken the Night Blades.

"Our operation is bound to succeed. Moreover, we can use this opportunity to wipe out the power of the Night Blades in the Desolate Canyon altogether."

With a smile on his face, Irving conveyed his thoughts to the werewolf leader, having finalized all the details of their plan in his mind.

Although the werewolf leader did not know the specifics of Irving\'s plan, he felt confident that it was well thought out.

"Since you have formulated a plan, let\'s proceed according to it. I will definitely join you because I believe that working with you is the only way to achieve my revenge," the werewolf leader declared.

He too wished for the Night Blades to suffer a heavy blow. After all, the hatred between the Night Blades and their werewolf clan ran deep.

"Your revenge plan is sure to succeed. Let\'s hurry and enter the underground tomb. You should be able to find the entrance, right?" Irving asked with a smile.

The werewolf leader nodded vigorously and then found an entrance on the ground floor of the massive building.

"It seems that Elder Lawrence hasn\'t discovered this entrance. He must have entered the underground tomb with your companions through another way," the werewolf leader noted as he led Irving to the entrance, which appeared to be untouched.

Irving nodded in agreement. "Let\'s get into the underground tomb quickly. After all, it is only within the tomb that we can deal with Elder Lawrence."

With that, Irving and the werewolf leader made their way into the underground tomb.

They would soon encounter Elder Lawrence in the underground tomb. As soon as both sides met, a fierce battle would erupt.

At the same time that Irving and Elder Lawrence entered the underground tomb, Elders Howard and Kent received crucial information. A member of the Night Blades had brought them news regarding the underground tomb.

"What did you say? There\'s an underground tomb beneath Shadow City?" Elder Howard exclaimed, clearly shocked by the revelation.

Elder Kent\'s expression was less surprised; he had already suspected that Lawrence had some sort of trump card.

"Yes, we just found intelligence related to the underground tomb at Elder Lawrence\'s residence. It seems that Elder Lawrence has also mastered the Blood of the Abyss," the member reported.

Upon hearing the words "Blood of the Abyss," both Howard and Kent\'s faces grew serious.

"We can\'t wait here any longer! We must take action immediately to stop Lawrence!" Elder Howard could no longer sit still. He believed that Lawrence\'s actions had to be thwarted. The secrets contained within the Blood of the Abyss were far too important for the Night Blades.

Elder Kent, while somewhat anxious, did not share Howard\'s alarm.

"What kind of action do you think we should take? The information we have is still too limited! We should continue to observe Irving and Lawrence\'s actions from a distance," Kent calmly suggested.

However, Elder Howard felt that Kent\'s plan was overly passive.

"Simply watching from the sidelines will only increase our disadvantages! I believe we should also enter the underground tomb!"
