Chapter 1257 Desperate
I really didn't expect that even the Patriarch would be alarmed by the slightest movement at the altar. Furthermore, the Patriarch had arrived so quickly that it was simply unexpected. Was that terrifying aura emitted by the Patriarch? It was truly unbelievable how powerful such a terrifying power could be. Although Su Yun was somewhat confident in his own strength, facing such a terrifying existence, he was afraid that his little means would not be of any use at all.
When the soul returns to the body, Su Yun quietly waited inside the circular building for news. If the Patriarch was there and all the experts of the Divine Hawk Race were gathered, it would be very unwise to find any information about the Underworld Empress. After all, that was the place where the Nine Divine Wind Heavenly Pearls were stored. It was the forbidden area of the Divine Hawk Race. Once captured, even if there was a mouth, it would be hard to say.
However, Su Yun believed that with so many Divine Hawk Race experts gathered, the Underworld Empress would not act rashly. There was only one thing that puzzled him right now. Was the altar where the Nine Divine Wind Heavenly Jewels were stored … really the work of the Underworld Empress?
Just as Su Yun was constantly thinking and guessing in his heart, an air-piercing sound sounded. Then, it was as if someone had landed on the building, and then Yang Zi's crisp voice came in from outside.
"Big Brother Feiyun, are you still here?"
"Oh, it's Miss Yang Zi. Come in and talk." Su Yun said straightforwardly.
The barrier immediately opened, and Su Yun saw the figure of Yang Zi spreading her wings. She landed lightly like a feather, her posture exceptionally graceful. When she landed, the pair of beautiful giant wings also immediately closed and hid behind her. Her cultivation was slightly stronger than the young Divine Eagle Clansmen like Xue Yu, her feet were already like humans, and she was no longer an eagle's claw. As soon as she landed, her gaze immediately fell on Su Yun, and she directly said, "Big Brother Feiyun, there may be a strict investigation in the clan these two days. You will stay here for the next two days to rest, okay?"
"Strict investigation?" Su Yun frowned, "What happened?"
"Oh, it's not that big of a deal. The masonry that repaired the altar suddenly cracked. My father suspected that someone secretly stole the best meteorite ores and mixed them with inferior meteorite ores. As a result, the altar masonry that stored the Nine Gods Wind Heavenly Pearl cracked. He sent people to investigate and see who did it."
After a moment of hesitation, he said slowly.
"There's actually such a thing!"
Su Yun revealed a shocked expression, but in his heart, he did not believe in the slightest, stealing the Meteorite Ore? These meteorite ores were all mined, so if they were to be stolen, they wouldn't be stolen from the altar, right? Moreover, if there was a need for a meteorite mine, just say it directly. It shouldn't be very difficult for the Divine Hawk Race to obtain such a thing. If they stole it before condensing it into altar bricks, who else could do it apart from the guards at the altar? Yang Zi's words were obviously perfunctory. In fact, the Patriarch suspected that outsiders had infiltrated the Divine Hawk Race. I'm afraid that the Patriarch has been searching for this outsider for the past few days. Previously, Yang Zi was with Su Yun, so Yang Zi thought that Su Yun was not suspicious, but Su Yun did not know what was the use of destroying the altar? Compared to the ten great divine power formations outside and the experts of the Divine Hawk Race guarding the Nine Divine Wind Heavenly Pearls, the altars built from meteorite ores were simply too weak. Why did the Divine Hawk Race value them so much? Could it be that it was not what he had imagined?
He pondered for a moment before revealing a sigh of emotion, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen within the Divine Hawk Race. We must investigate carefully and see who did it … But … Miss Yang Zi, although the Meteorite Ore is also a rare spirit ore, it isn't difficult to find such a thing, right? Why would that person want to steal the Meteorite Ore?"
Yang Zi was stunned for a moment and shook his head repeatedly to express his ignorance. "Ah … this … I'm not very sure either …"
"Forget it, Miss Yang Zi doesn't have to worry too much. If there's really a snack, we won't be able to hide anything from the experts of the Divine Hawk Race. We just need to cooperate actively and wait and see." Su Yun smiled and said.
"Yes." Yang Zi nodded and chatted with Su Yun for a while before directly leaving.
As soon as Yang Zi left, Su Yun could almost immediately determine that the abnormality at the altar was caused by the Empress of the Underworld, but … exactly how did the Empress of the Underworld do it? Was everything around the altar decorated? Why would she destroy the altar? If he was unable to obtain the Nine Gods Wind Heavenly Pearl, he would instead expose his identity.
Su Yun frowned. He felt that his head was in a mess. In fact, he still did not know much about the Nine Gods Wind Heavenly Pearl. Especially this altar. Although it was constructed from meteorite ore, the people who constructed it were different. He had no idea what the altar was for. Everything was just his own wild guess.
Su Yun sighed fiercely and thought of the Realm Master inexplicably in his heart. He possessed the Great Exquisite Technique and could peek into people's hearts, but he did not dare to use it randomly. If the Realm Master was here, he would definitely be able to determine the position of the Underworld Empress for him again. He did not need to be so confused.
Although he had entered the Divine Hawk Race, the current Su Yun was like a headless fly, still wandering around here. He did not know what was going on in the Underworld.
Time is too tight. We must find the whereabouts of the Underworld Empress within these two days. Otherwise, it will be too late.
Su Yun took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and thought of the corresponding strategy.
If the bricks and stones were destroyed, then the altar would not fully heal. However, there were people guarding the altar at all times. If all of this was done by the Empress of the Underworld, then perhaps her purpose was to prevent the Divine Hawks from repairing the altar as soon as possible. If the altar was successfully repaired, what would happen? This was completely desperate!
Thinking about it, Su Yun finally had some ideas.
If the Empress of the Underworld took the risk to prevent the altar from being restored successfully, then there was no doubt that she would make another move, and the time to do so was right before the altar was restored again.
Thinking of this, Su Yun did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately urged his soul to investigate.
The Patriarch had already left, However, the Second Elder and Third Elder were left guarding the place. Many people in the Divine Hawk Clan did not know what had happened. The Second Elder was responsible for guarding the altar, the Third Elder was responsible for repairing the altar, and he had also sent three additional teams to collect the meteorite ore. Seeing this, Su Yun understood that the Divine Hawk Clansmen did not seem to be able to wait any longer and wanted to repair the Nine Divine Wind Heavenly Pearl altar as soon as possible. At this moment, he was even bolder in judging that the sacrificial altar of the Nine Gods Wind Heavenly Pearl was not what he had imagined. It was just a resting place. It was likely that its function far exceeded the ten divine power formations outside.
Su Yun stared at the altar for a while. During that time, the Second Elder seemed to have sensed something and looked around, but he quickly closed his eyes and stood in front of the altar like a statue.
Su Yun didn't dare to get too close, he just watched from afar. In half a day's time, he could already calculate the time when the altar was completely repaired according to everyone's actions.
Two and a half days!
If this continued, the altar on the third day would definitely be intact!
He returned his soul to his flesh and immediately began to make plans.
Since the Underworld Empress was able to sneak into the Divine Hawk Race, It could be seen how powerful his methods were, But this was the territory of the Divine Hawk Race, The strong dragon could not suppress the local snake, If the Empress of the Underworld had overwhelming power, He wouldn't be so sneaky, So, head-on, The Underworld Empress had no chance of winning, In that case, she could only choose to attack secretly, Once again, She would never choose the moment before she was done, This was because the altar was about to be completed. It was definitely the time when the Divine Hawks were on the most vigilant altar. On the contrary, the altar had just been restored and was the most lax. No one would have expected that the person who had secretly destroyed the altar would not be able to destroy it for long and then return again. Perhaps even the Divine Hawk Clan's Clan Chief was the same. This time, the damage could be repaired in three days. Only three days was definitely not enough. If it could be violently destroyed at once, then Gu Wuyou would be in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Yun did not dare to neglect him in the slightest and immediately rushed out.
We must find her before the Underworld Empress makes her move. Only in this way can we prevent everything from happening. If she makes a move ahead of time, the situation will be out of control. At that time, let alone dealing with the Immortal Court, I'm afraid that there will be another powerful enemy like the Divine Hawk Race.
"Guest, where are you going?"
Just as Su Yun rushed out, the eagle clansman in charge of guarding the door outside immediately shouted.
"Miss Yang Zi wants me to come over. Stay here and look at my things. My treasures are very important. Don't lose them!" Su Yun casually replied.
When that eagle heard that there was something valuable in the house, how could he dare to take half a step back?
After leaving the house, Su Yun restrained his aura and approached the periphery of the forest.
However, at this moment, there were already two more patrols outside the forest. Not to mention Su Yun, an outsider, none of the low-level eagles could get close to him.
How strict!
Su Yun rolled his eyes and thought for a moment. If he barged in now, he would definitely be discovered. But if he didn't, what if the Underworld Empress mixed among these eagles and waited for an opportunity to move?
Thinking about it, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Su Yun's heart.
He secretly took a few steps back and swept his gaze from side to side. When he discovered that no one around him noticed him, he directly took out the Double Moon Sword. The sword blade suddenly gathered its strength towards the huge forest and fiercely swung towards it.
Huala…
A huge immortal wind blew towards the forest like a knife. Although the trees in the forest were extraordinary, they were unable to withstand such a strong immortal wind. All of them broke apart and the scene was in a mess.
With this move, Su Yun immediately withdrew his sword and retreated, his figure extremely fast.
However, this strike of his was like throwing sparks on tar, instantly igniting the entire forest. The forest inside and outside was boiling, and countless eagle cries erupted.
