When the crisp sound of skeletal fragments stitching themselves together inside the Bronze Sarcophagus pierced through the seawater, the Big Dipper star marks on Su Jiuli’s spine suddenly oozed beads of blood.
The blood droplets plunged into the seabed silt, unexpectedly awakening a dormant Wu Clan sacrificial altar.
