As the zipper was pulled open, it revealed a beating heart.
Yarlu directly inserted his hand into the heart and picked out a chunk of flesh the size of a ping-pong ball.
Without a trace of blood, he slowly stood up, placed the chunk of flesh in Kael's palm, and then said,
"Shadow Stone, the true heart of the Shadow Clan. Although we appear human, in essence, we are more like elemental creatures cursed with flesh.
The Shadow Stone is key to our survival. If someone destroys the Shadow Stone, we lose our core and will die instantly."
Kael raised his eyebrows, his investigative magic instantly swept over the object, and ultimately he found a visible tight connection between the Shadow Stone and Yarlu.
It was almost certain that destroying this thing could indeed kill Yarlu, the Extraordinary Peak leader, on the spot.
"May I understand this as a pledge of allegiance?"
