The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

“Red Dust Eyes,” Su Yu murmured. After some careful thought, he suspected that there were remnants of the Power of Red Dust remaining in his body.

Su Yu tampered with the elixir so it was suitable to drink.

The Power of Red Dust was very weak and could only be used once.

Su Yu adjusted his state of mind and transferred the Power of Red Dust into his eyes.

His eyes gradually turned pink, resembling two pink round beads.

With his pink eyes, Su Yu could indeed see things that ordinary eyes could not see. The faint red lines were very intricate and linked everyone together.

Some red lines represented affection, some represented friendship, some represented love, and some represented hatred.

In short, all beings were connected by these seemingly obscure red lines.

“Are these the Red Dust lines?” Su Yu said softly. He held his breath, concentrated, and looked down upon himself.

He saw several densely packed lines that stretched out in all directions, connecting himself to locations beyond the horizon.

Su Yu saw the red line between him and Xia Jingyu at a glance.

There was a line!

That proved that Xia Jingyu was still alive.

The stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time was finally lifted.

She was still alive in this world, which was the greatest relief to him.

Su Yu looked in the direction of the red line. This was where Xia Jingyu was located and where he needed to go.

When he confirmed the direction of the red line, he became perplexed.

“Star River Divine Realm… She has always been in the Star River Divine Realm,” he murmured to himself. Su Yu was at a loss, puzzled and uneasy. “If she is in the Star River Divine Realm, why did she not show up? Is she trapped somewhere, or does she not want to see me?”

“Who could possibly have guessed that she has always been in the Star River Divine Realm?”

At that moment, a slight vibration came from the other end of the red line!

Such a strange phenomenon made Su Yu feel uneasy as he stared at the red line.

But the red line was vibrating more and more rapidly as if the other end wanted to tell him something.

Su Yu’s chest seemed to be tightening. Was Xia Jingyu in some kind of trouble?

Suddenly, Su Yu’s mind flashed, and he recorded the rhythm and frequency of the red line in his head.

Eventually, the red line became calm and returned to normal.

Su Yu stared at the rhythm and frequency on the ground. They were like musical scores, with various ups and downs.

Su Yu glanced back and forth in excitement, and finally erased most of it, leaving only seven notes. All the remaining tunes were repeated with the same notes.

Four musical notes… A special text flashed across Su Yu’s mind, the Divine Tune Tribe!

People of this tribe only transmitted messages with musical notes which then became their language. Hence, the language had a beautiful melody.

Su Yu converted the seven musical notes into the Divine Tune Tribe’s language and it said, “Brother Su, I’m waiting for you.”

Su Yu was at the same time both in ecstasy and full of concern.

Fortunately, Xia Jingyu was not unwilling to see him after all.

However, she was trapped somewhere and needed Su Yu to go and see her in person.

All these years of searching had finally yielded results.

Xia Jingyu was trapped somewhere in the Star River God Realm and had been waiting for him all along.

But, where could she be? Where did the red line extend to?

Before Su Yu had seen everything he could see, the Power of Red Dust dispersed, and the Red Dust Eyes dissipated to nothingness.

Su Yu was anxious. Where was she trapped? Was she in some kind of danger?

No matter what, he had to return to the Star River God Realm as soon as possible.

“The issue of the wizard tribe must be resolved. I need to master the Sky Splitting Yin Yang style, heal the injuries of Yongye Chuxue, get the Great Desolation Smelter, and then refine it to use it against the World Annihilation Plate. Then I can return to the Star River Divine realm!” Su Yu’s eyes looked more determined than ever, and his resolve hardened.

He left the secret room, and there was a maid waiting outside. When she saw him coming out, she immediately notified the masters of the Two Temples, the Wang Clan Master, and Ling Wu.

Su Yu was the only one who had heard the news about Fan Capital. They were anxious as they waited for Su Yu to appear.

However, before waiting for them to speak, Su Yu asked Ling Wu, “May I ask when the Moonview Sect leader will come out of his seclusion?”

Only by defeating the Moonview Sect leader could Su Yu learn the Sky Splitting Yin Yang style.

Ling Wu froze for a while, and said, “He is not out of his seclusion yet. However, the leader is already preparing to swap pointers with you.”

Hearing that, Su Yu’s heart felt a little better. He wanted the fight as soon as possible!

“I will now talk about the situation at Fan Capital,” Su Yu announced.

The Wang Clan Master was the most concerned because Fan Capital was the closest to the Saint Capital, and both had comparable strengths.

The more detrimental the situation at Fan Capital, the greater the danger that Saint Capital would encounter.

“How many soldiers does the Fan Capital still have?” the Wang Clan Master asked.

Su Yu shook his head. “You should first ask if Fan Capital is still there.”

What? None of those who were present could believe their ears.

The Wang Clan Master suddenly got up and said in disbelief, “Are you sure that Fan Capital has fallen?”

Su Yu nodded, “Yes, I entered the dream of Chu Wen, the second heir of the Chu Clan in Fan Capital and learned of the situation there. Ninety percent of the wizards were slaughtered, and the remaining ten percent were enslaved to help them build something.”

There were only sounds of people gasping in the crowd, and nothing else.

“So, Fan Capital was not only destroyed but also, the live spirits within were all slaughtered?” said a despondent voice from the crowd.

To be honest, if it wasn’t from the mouth of Su Yu, they would have believed it.

The Wang Clan Master was trembling. His old face appeared deeply shocked as he said, “This is not possible. The Chu Clan has a weapon inherited from the wizard ancestors, the Demon Subduing Drum. Even Nitian Guyun would have difficulty defending himself from it. Furthermore, they also had the power of the jade pendant from the wizard ancestors. Combined, they had enough explosive destructive power to repel Nitian Guyun and his army! ”

“Moreover, over the years, Fan Capital searched for various resources and arranged as many as 36,000 tactical spells outside the city. If they were activated, no one would be able to break in!”

“How could they be defeated in such a short period of time? This is unbelievable,” the Wang Clan Master said in disbelief.

But, in Su Yu’s eyes, everything made sense!

“The Chu Clan is led by the blind elder and the old one-armed elder. They seemed to be united on the surface, but deep down, they were not. The fact that the city is in ruins must have been down to those two arguing back and forth unnecessarily!” Su Yu said, regretting that he hadn’t dealt with them before he left, erasing the two of them altogether.

“Nitian Hanxing is extremely unpredictable in the way he uses the army. That was demonstrated by the way they invaded Fan Capital with such lightning speed without anybody knowing about it.”

Hearing the first reason, everyone’s expression was heavy. They believed that he was about eighty or ninety percent right. They knew deep down in their hearts what the Chu Clan was like. They were a bunch of people who would stop at nothing to get more money.

They could all picture the scene of them fighting amongst themselves for power before the battle even started.

As for the second reason, they were not convinced.

The Wang Clan Master shook his head and said, “No matter how adept Nitian Hanxing is at using the army, it would be impossible for them to come unnoticed. They could not have bypassed the 36,000 spells and appeared directly in the city.”

Su Yu didn’t agree. “It wouldn’t have been that difficult to bypass the spells and go directly into the city. I could have done it myself!”

Everyone was shocked, especially the Wang Clan Master, who found it even more unbelievable. “That is impossible. Not even Space Transportation could have been used to transport so many troops in. Not to mention the fact that the spells outside would have prevented that from happening.”

Su Yu shook his head. “Who said that Space Transportation was needed?”

The Wang Clan Master pondered that for a moment. “Those 36,000 spells could intercept the heavens above and the ground below. It would be impossible to bypass them.”

“Of course it would be impossible to enter from above, but underground?” Su Yu said.

The Wang Clan Master was puzzled. “Su Yu, I must ask you to elucidate. Sheng Capital’s defenses are far inferior to those of Fan Capital. If they can bypass the defense of Fan Capital, I’m afraid we are all in danger here.”

“It’s very simple! I don’t know if you remember, but during the first war between the God Realm and the Wizard Tribe, the people of the Wizard Tribe built a large number of secret bases underground to avoid the enemy troops that had invaded the Black Forest.”

After hearing his words, everyone tried to remember.

Most people looked completely lost. Even the old beings like Ling Wu, who have been with the leader for a long time, were completely unaware of it.

Those events happened too long ago, and they had nothing to do with the current situation. Furthermore, there were only a few records of that time period in the history books, and few would have noticed.

Only the masters of the two temples and the Wang Clan Master, who inherited the information of the wizard tribe from their ancestors, knew such details from their history. Their expressions gradually became more serious, and traces of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

“Those underground bases have long been abandoned, but they haven’t been filled in! At least the underground passages near Fan Capital still exist!” Su Yu continued, “I guess one of these underground passages is connected to the inside of Fan Capital?”

After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

So that was what had happened!

The Wizard Tribe had long forgotten about the old underground secret passages. They were the key to the enemy’s victory over Fan Capital!

“I admire Brother Su’s wisdom from the bottom of my heart,” Wang Qingchen said sincerely.

The rest of the people were also impressed by Su Yu. All his words and actions were so remarkable that his peers felt ashamed of themselves.

However, Su Yu said with a serious look on his face, “Now is not the time to praise me. As I’ve said before, Nitian Hanxing utilizes his army very effectively!”

“While you all are just learning about the situation at the Fan Capital, he has already occupied and slaughtered the place!”

“Now that you have learned that the Fan Capital was taken, why not take a guess where is he headed now and what is he going to do?”

Everyone was startled by his words.

The Wang Clan Master’s face changed drastically. He shouted, “Somebody! Get the clan’s ancient scrolls and check the records of underground passages!”

Soon, boxes of dusty scrolls were brought out.

The people examined the blueprints of the ancient underground passages, and it turned out that one of the passages was directly connected to the inside of Sheng Capital.

It led to the old site of the Wang Clan’s mansion, which was not very far from them now!

That abandoned passage had long been forgotten and had not been filled in!

Thinking about the situation now, everyone felt a chill down their spines, and the soles of their feet turned cold.

With Nitian Hanxing’s exceptional command of his army, it was highly likely that they had already arrived outside the city.

They felt as if a terrifying beast was looking at them from underground, and would rush out and attack them at any time.

The Wang Clan Master felt a chill sink into his heart. He shouted angrily, “Somebody! Start the defense preparations, send teams of men, and seal off the abandoned tunnel immediately!”

He was really scared, and his heart was thumping wildly. Up until now, his demeanor had been calm, but now he was anxious and panicking over preparations to repel a formidable enemy.

“Slow down!” Su Yu stopped them.

At that moment, no one questioned Su Yu’s words. Even the two clan elders who were anxiously issuing orders immediately stood still and waited to see what Su Yu had to say.
