"The Puppet Saint Race is truly despicable. After learning our techniques, they immediately turned hostile." Su Cai 'er said angrily.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "I can't say that the Puppet Saint Clan has fallen out with us. After all, the cauldron's request to join them is really forcing us against our will."
However, even the sinful girl spoke out with a slightly cold expression. "No! They've really fallen out! "
Oh?
Su Yu was surprised. "How?"
The Sinful Lady said slowly, "Ever since you left, the Sacred Puppet Tribe announced that they would be in seclusion. So be it. The Sacred Puppet Tribe doesn't meet outsiders all year round. Outsiders are used to it."
"But no one expected that ever since the Sacred Puppet Clan went into seclusion, people from Cangtian Mountain disappeared one after another. Even people from our cauldron disappeared."
Hmm?
Su Yu finally became serious, and he asked in a serious voice, "Who disappeared?"
"Mo Heng!" The sinful girl slowly spat out two words, and her tone was filled with deep regret.
Him?
Su Yu was quite surprised. "When did this happen? Why didn't you inform me?"
The sinful lady lowered her head in shame. "You are carrying out an important mission outside. If we inform you, we will only make you worry for nothing, so …"
"That's why you have to act on your own!" Su Yu had already guessed what would happen next.
Sure enough, Su Cai 'er added, "Through the things that Mo Heng left behind, we tracked his whereabouts. He's in the Sacred Puppet Tribe, but when we went to ask for him, the Puppet Ancestor turned hostile and sent his puppets to attack us, causing us heavy losses."
She clenched her fists indignantly, anger written all over her little face.
The Sinful Lady sighed softly and said, "Actually, it wasn't our cauldron that suffered the greatest loss, but the Sacred Netherworld Clan."
It turned out that all the forces had people missing, and many people had already suspected the Sacred Puppet Clan, but there was no evidence. Coincidentally, the Cauldron found out that Mo Heng had disappeared with the Sacred Puppet Clan, and under the Cauldron's summon, they all came to the Sacred Puppet Clan to demand an explanation.
The Puppet Patriarch was still as rude and unreasonable as ever. After refusing to allow them to enter and inspect the Puppet Patriarch several times, he decisively commanded the Puppet Patriarch to attack them.
The members of the Sacred Nether Clan were the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and they suffered the heaviest injuries. Their bodies were destroyed on the spot, and even their souls were heavily injured. They might perish soon.
Su Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light. He really didn't expect such a drastic change to take place on the Cangtian Mountain after he left.
"It seems like the Puppet Ancestor has chosen to strike first to gain the upper hand," Su Yu said coldly.
When he and Mo Heng had visited the Sacred Puppet Race, they had seen a super puppet that the Sacred Puppet Race had been building for several generations — a dangerous object forged from the remains of a Ten Thousand Saints expert and made from blue heart iron.
At that time, Su Yu had sensed that the puppet was extremely dangerous. Once it was successfully crafted, it would be earth-shattering and might even attract the attention of the Holy Mountain's Heavenly Sons.
On the other hand, Mo Heng bluntly said that the puppet was most likely a living creature.
As the number one genius weapon refiner of a nine-star civilization, Mo Heng's intuition was very accurate!
Therefore, Su Yu had once said that when the matter of the Heavenly Law Prison was over, he would infiltrate the Puppet Saint Clan personally and take the dangerous puppet away to prevent any future troubles.
He hadn't expected that before he could take action, the Sacred Puppet Tribe would sense it and capture Mo Heng first.
If he guessed correctly, the Puppet Ancestor must have captured Mo Heng to do one thing — to refine a missing heart for that puppet!
The puppet had been forged by the Abyss Puppet Clan for countless generations and had been perfectly refined.
Now, it only lacked a qualified heart.
And Mo Heng was one of the few people in the world who could refine this heart. Therefore, his capture must have something to do with the heart.
The rest of the missing people were most likely related to the heart.
"What a Sacred Puppet Tribe." Su Yu's eyes flickered with a cold light. "Keep the stronghold well and don't go out unless it's necessary. I'm going out for a while."
Having just jumped down, he returned to the back of the Little Skeleton and rode it to the Sacred Netherworld Clan.
At that moment, in the secret chamber of the Sacred Netherworld Clan, several strong Ancient Saints were surrounding an ancient bluestone slab. On it lay a vague soul.
That was the Netherworld Ancestor, who was so seriously injured that only a remnant of his soul was left.
Beside him, the Green Wood Ancestor was healing his injuries with his pure Green Wood Clan Realm, hoping to restore his soul.
"Green Wood Ancestor, how is the situation?" an Ancient Saint of the Sacred Netherworld Clan asked hopefully.
The Green Wood Ancestor shook his head and sighed. "If the illness was in the body, my realm might have a miraculous effect. But the injury is in the soul, the most mysterious part of the human body. I can't do anything about it!"
Hearing that, several Ancient Saints couldn't help but turn pale. Some of them even became mournful. "Green Wood Ancestor, I beg you, you must save our Ancestor!"
The Green Wood Ancestor sighed and helped them up. "Now, we are already members of the cauldron, so we are bound together for good or bad. How can I leave it alone? But, I have tried my best. "
The Ancient Saints were even sadder and at a loss. Green Wood, who came with them, sighed softly. "If only the Cauldron Zun was here. With his ability, he might be able to cure the Netherworld Ancestor."
The Green Wood Ancestor shook his head slightly. "Even if the Cauldron Zun was here, I'm afraid he couldn't do anything about it. When it comes to the soul, no one can save it."
Hearing that, everyone's expression became gloomy.
But suddenly, the Green Wood Ancestor raised his eyebrows and looked above his head.
The others sensed it one after another and looked over. They saw a space crack appear above their heads, and a person fell from it.
"The Cauldron Zun?" Although the other party was in a black robe, who else could have the superb Space Realm other than the Cauldron Zun?
Su Yu landed in the secret chamber and nodded to them casually. Then, he looked at the Green Stone Platform, where the soul of the Netherworld Ancestor was extremely weak. The latter sensed Su Yu's arrival and said weakly, "The Cauldron Zun … the first time I called you that was when I was about to die."
He reached out his hand and tried to grab Su Yu's sleeve.
Su Yu patted the back of his hand and said, "You will be fine."
With Su Yu, who had the ancestral technique of soul, he would really be fine. However, this sentence was taken as a consolation to a dying person.
The Ancestral Lord of the Underworld shook his head slightly. His confused face revealed a trace of pleading light in his eyes. "Although the Sacred Underworld Tribe has never contributed anything to the cauldron, please take into account that I have signed an alliance with the Cauldron Venerable. Please take care of my Sacred Underworld Tribe and don't let them decline so quickly, okay?"
A Sacred Netherworld Tribe had no new Great Saints, and the Great Saints of the older generation had fallen.
The possibility of the Sacred Netherworld Tribe falling was almost 100%. Without a strong person in charge, all the resources controlled by the Sacred Netherworld Tribe would be snatched away in a short time. In that case, it would be more difficult for new Great Saints to be born, and the Sacred Netherworld Tribe would gradually decline.
His request was not to ensure that the Sacred Netherworld Tribe would not decline, but to delay its decline.
This was the only wish of the Netherworld Ancestor before his death. I'm very sorry for passing on the wrong chapter. It's my fault for not being careful enough! Reviewing!
