Chapter 69: The Bizarre Ritual

  "Alright! I'll go find Kiroku Hoshino, and try to find the others too. But you have to keep an eye on things here, don't let Lady Shiya make any mistakes!" Kuroba said in a low voice.

  Su Dong nodded and patted the large artifact, Stone Jade, in his bosom, saying in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I've got this place covered."

  Huiyu tossed a very strange crystal to Su Dong, white with black undertones, just like a giant eyeball.

  Su Dong was taken aback, "What is this thing?"

  "Eyes of the Divine Eagle!" Grey Feather said: "With it, you can let my people fly in the sky to do reconnaissance for you. On the ground, relying on the Eyes of the Divine Eagle, you can see everything that my people see."

  Su Dong suddenly realized that this was a treasure equivalent to the art of communicating with spirits, which could receive visual information from the Lingying tribe, so Su Dong could observe the movement on the mountain.

  "But where can I find one of your kind?" Su Dong asked.

  Huiyu suddenly flew up into the air and said, "Don't forget, you have two Beast King whistles!"

  ……

  When the beast king's whistle sounded, there was no sound at all. Neither the wolf king's whistle nor the eagle king's whistle made a sound, as if they were all mute. No matter how hard Su Dong blew, no sound came out.

  Su Dong felt puzzled, holding the whistle in his hand and examining it carefully, then decided to try again. At this time, he saw a pair of green eyes in the distance, emitting a faint glow in the darkness, rapidly approaching him.

  Whoosh!

  The remaining sword broke through the rainbow, and Su Dong pulled out a defensive posture.

  Only then did this pair of eyes approach Su Dong and transform into a human figure, tall and majestic with many scars on his body.

  "I am Baili of the Ling Wolf clan, but what's with the wolf king's whistle you're blowing?" The man slowly approached, looking at Su Dong in confusion and asked.

  Su Dong nodded, and Bei Lei asked curiously: "You are a human, why do you have the golden whistle of our Linglang tribe?"

  Su Dongdao said: "This whistle was given to me by your King Gu Leng, so that I can blow it in case of an emergency. However, this whistle didn't sound just now, how did you hear it?"

  "Ha ha, you're human, your ear structure is different from ours, the golden whistle emits ultra-high frequency sound waves, so you can't hear it, but I almost got deafened by this whistle and rushed over in a hurry."

  "Since you are a friend of the Lone Ridge elder, then you are a friend of our entire Spirit Wolf clan. Speak, what is it that you have summoned me for?"

  Su Dong suddenly realized that the whistle was emitting a super high frequency sound, which was a good thing for himself. In case of encountering an enemy, he could summon the warriors of the Wolf and Eagle tribes without worrying about being detected by the enemy, because they couldn't hear it at all.

  He pointed to the mountain where Dinghai Wuguan was located and said in a low voice, "Your goddess of wisdom, Zi Ya, has been captured on the mountain. I and Gray Wing Eagle King plan to rescue her, we need to gather a group of warriors."

  Bei Lei was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes revealed a murderous intent, and he asked in a low voice: "Is what you said true!? Lady Zi Ya has been captured by the people of Dinghai Martial Arts Academy!?"

  Su Dong nodded and said in a low voice, "It's absolutely true, so I need you to gather as much power as possible. Eagle King Hui Yu has gone to find Deer King Huai Yan, and at the latest before dawn, we must gather here."

  "Understood!" Beile didn't say another word and immediately transformed into a lone wolf, dashing off into the distance.

  Su Dong had never seen any wolf run as fast as Bai Le, it was like he had gone mad and was running wildly! From this, one could see just how important Bai Xiao Ya was in the eyes of these spiritual beasts.

  Baili had just left for a few minutes when two eagles, one large and one small, flew over from the sky. The Grey Feather tribe had also arrived!

  Within a radius of 200 miles, all spiritual beast warriors are rushing towards Su Dong's location!

  ……

  Whoosh!

  A grey eagle soared into the night sky, circling above the horizon over the Dinghai Martial Arts Academy.

  Tonight's moon is like a curved knife, the light is not sufficient, fortunately, the Lingying tribe has strong eyesight, Su Dong can see the situation in the Dinghai Wuguan courtyard through the eyes of the divine eagle.

  Su Dong was taken aback, for Bai Xiaoya was tied up in the yard, her small body weighed down by heavy chains that made it hard for her to lift her head or breathe.

  Meanwhile, not far away from her, a grand feast was being held, where a group of people were indulging in food and drink, treating Bai Xiaoyu as a delicious accompaniment to their meal. From time to time, someone would walk up and touch Bai Xiaoyu's pretty face with their dirty hands.

  Bai Xiaoya was exhausted. Behind her stood a gigantic cast-iron statue of a god, and from the marks on the ground, it looked like it had just been moved out of the house.

  The statue's two hands held a sword, and Bai Xiaoyi was under the sword. The blade rested against her neck, making it impossible for her to lift her head, as if she were paying homage to the statue.

  Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems to be an evil ritual, and Bai Xiaoya is the sacrifice!

  "Continue to observe, and notify me of any movement." Su Dong said to the Lingying tribe warrior in charge of lookout with his Eagle Eye.

  Put down that crystal, Su Dong fell into deep thought, a dozen or so curious eyes were staring at Su Dong, they were all spirit beasts, summoned and rushed here.

  "How is Lord Ziya!?" A stout black-faced giant asked in a low voice, he was a bear tribe warrior, with a height of over 2.3 meters and a thick waist.

  Su Dong furrowed his brow and scanned the surroundings with his eyes.

  In fact, there are not many spiritual beasts, because most of the ones living in the wild are just wild animals, they are considered close relatives of spiritual beasts, but they do not possess wisdom and cannot transform into human form.

  It was approaching 3 am, and only a dozen or so soldiers had gathered around Su Dong, far from the number of soldiers Su Dong needed.

  "They seem to be performing some sort of ritual, and they're going to use your Wisdom Goddess Clan as a sacrifice." Su Dong said in a low voice.

  "Damn it! Damn it! I'll kill them! How dare they insult our goddess, I'll fight them to the death!" The bear tribe's warrior went mad, pulling his hair with force, his eyes red as he charged out.

  Boom!

  With a single arm exerting force! Su Dong grabbed the giant's waistband and forcibly pinned him to the ground, then drew out the broken knife Duan Hong and pressed it against his neck!

  "I know you're loyal to the Goddess of Wisdom, and I admire that loyalty, but you can't be foolish! If you charge in now, not only will you fail to save Xiaoya, you'll also put her in harm's way! I absolutely won't let you do this!"

  Su Dong's face was almost stuck to the warrior's face, and his expression was extremely ferocious!

  A powerful and suffocating aura of killing intent burst out from Su Dong's body, causing people to gasp for air!

  Perhaps due to his cultivation in the Nine Heavens of Azure Falls and Yellow Springs, Su Dong's aura has undergone a significant change compared to the past. Every time he starts to go crazy, that overbearing killing intent would involuntarily emerge.

  Most of the Ling Beast Clan warriors were clear-minded and knew that Su Dong was helping them, so they scolded the bear tribe's warrior.

  Su Dong let go of him and described the scene he saw to the warriors of this spiritual beast tribe, then asked: "Does anyone know what kind of ritual this is?"

  Everyone shook their heads, indicating they completely didn't understand why the people of Dinghai Wuguan were doing this.

  ……

  Before long, it was dawn, and the silent earth gradually had some light.

  At the same time, the mysterious ceremony at Dinghai Wuguan also came to an end. From the master of the temple, Hai Xiao Yan, to the three respected elders in the temple, and the two invited guests, these people did not sleep all night, drinking wine throughout the evening.

  At this moment, these guys knelt in a circle, muttering to themselves, and on the ground was drawn a circular pattern, just like the dharma wheel Su Dong had seen in his past life, covered with Sanskrit characters, and some ferocious-looking faces were also painted.

  They finished their prayers and each took out a dagger, made an incision on the back of their hands, and let their own blood drip onto the suspicious pattern.

  Bang!

  The circular pattern on the ground actually moved! It rotated like a wheel and emitted a dim glow!

  All of this is incredibly terrifying! Because just as this mysterious pattern began to rotate, the sun also emitted its first ray of sunlight!

  It's too precise! It's clear that this ritual has been calculated with precision! These guys are waiting for the exact moment when the sun rises!

  Everyone's face was filled with frantic smiles, as if they were enchanted!

  And on the ground that strange pattern, a faint light suddenly crawled out of a dark thing!
