Chapter 700 - 458: Celestial Phoenix Feather, Destroy Su! (Double - )
If this protective array cannot be broken, even if the imperial family wins in the future, Prince Cui will only be able to besiege and consume the Su Family to annihilate them.
Over time, the remaining members of the Su Family would all be trapped and perish at the mansion.
Once all resources within the mansion are depleted, those Su Clan members would either starve to death or come out to break through by themselves.
This would be a compromise to the predicament of being powerless against this protective array.
Just at this moment, a demonic wind struck, and under Qian Yuan’s astonished gaze, easily passed through the Black Tortoise Array he had set up!
The intruder was the Hawk Demon.
Even Song Changming didn’t expect the Hawk to barge in at this moment.
Looking back, due to Qian Yuan’s Black Tortoise Array blocking the view, the towering pillar of fire had dissipated without notice.
"Hawk?" Qian Yuan’s expression turned solemn.
No matter the situation, the Hawk was a great demon with inscrutable intentions. Even though it had recently entered the Song Residence, drawing a connection with Song Changming, Qian Yuan couldn’t lower his guard.
"What do you intend to do?" Song Changming asked first.
"By the master’s command, to exterminate the Su Family." The Hawk Demon showed no concern for the nearby Qian Yuan, only responding to Song Changming with indifference.
"By the master’s command?" Song Changming’s mind raced, probing as he asked.
"The ’master’ you speak of, could it be Xiaohuang from the family?"
"..."
Song Changming observed the Banshee’s reaction and felt this was an implicit acknowledgment.
After all, only the Little Yellow Bird who was recently persecuted by the Su Clan members would have a sufficient reason to order the Hawk to eradicate the Su Family...
He confirmed that the Hawk Demon had a close bond with the Little Yellow Bird, but didn’t expect it would be a relationship of master and servant.
The Little Yellow Bird is the master, and this great demon is the servant?
"It seems that Xiaohuang’s bloodline status must be high in the Demon Realm, at least far surpassing this Hawk, otherwise, purely based on strength, even a thousand Little Yellow Birds wouldn’t match a finger of this Hawk. How else could it command this servant..."
Song Changming judged within himself, yet found it truly difficult to overturn his previous harmless chick image into that of a Demon Realm big shot.
"This protective array is difficult to break, and the Su Mansion remains unscathed." Having understood the Hawk’s purpose in coming, Qian Yuan, knowing it was a temporary ally, couldn’t help but remind.
He initially intended for the Hawk Demon to act as a big killer artifact against other Su Clan members engaged in slaughter inside and outside the city, rather than wasting time against the firmly guarded Su Mansion.
However, the Hawk disregarded this old man of the Human Race, directly raising its palm to unleash a vast demonic power, striking down on the Su Mansion.
Instantly, demonic winds swept through, choking the very air of the place.
The demonic wind formed into a colossal bird figure, its claws deeply embedded in the protective array, as two sides of energy clashed again, one violent, the other defensive, entwined without end.
After a stalemate for a while, the Hawk Demon abruptly withdrew its hand, the demonic wind dissipating, while the protective array remained intact.
Qian Yuan shook his head upon seeing this; the Ancient Rune Array is not so easily broken.
"Only the Ancient Power might open this array..."
Qian Yuan seemed to speak to himself, yet also intended for Song Changming and the Hawk to hear.
"The Ancient Power..."
Song Changming knew that if there was any power related to the ancient within him, it unquestionably came from the Witch Race heritage.
The Witch Scripture records, the Witch Refining Technique and Witch Soldier Seal refining systems, not only exist in ancient texts but are from the even older field of Ancient Wilderness, heralding the might of creation!
Additionally, the Stone Saber Intent he comprehended is suspected to have connections with the Ancient times.
But currently, neither the Witch Race heritage nor the Stone Saber Intent can be wielded to break this array.
He was also reluctant to continue ineffective efforts, planning to join Qian Yuan in recruiting the powerful Hawk Demon to destroy the Su Family through other means.
Yet the Banshee, with a distant expression, raised a slender hand to her forehead, the red mark gleaming with a flash of golden light.
The golden light turned into a feather, filled with a peculiar scorching energy, akin to the blazing sun.
Song Changming unconsciously released Spiritual Perception to investigate, only to feel his spiritual power was seared cruelly the next moment.
His previously rapidly recovering spirit body instantly drooped slightly.
"What’s this?!" Song Changming immediately restrained his spirit, not daring to explore recklessly.
"Celestial Phoenix Feather!" Qian Yuan widened his eyes, recognizing the object, providing the answer.
Song Changming found it somewhat familiar, suddenly recalling that once it was rumored this Hawk had achieved its great demon form due to obtaining a Celestial Phoenix Feather!
Now with the Celestial Phoenix Feather before him, this rumor was indeed verified.
"Indeed, the Celestial Phoenix Feather is a feather from the Ancient Celestial Phoenix, storing its supreme power. This time it might truly be possible!" Qian Yuan continued.
Originally losing hope of breaking the protective array of the Su Mansion, now he knew the opportunity had arrived.
The Celestial Phoenix Feather was truly a big killer artifact in the Hawk Demon’s hands.
As the Banshee withdrew her hand, the Celestial Phoenix Feather floated downward toward the protective array.
Qian Yuan suddenly felt uneasy; gritting his teeth, he sacrificed twelve big array flags and a pile of top-grade Spirit Crystals!
The big array flags swiftly aligned behind the smaller flags of the Black Tortoise Array, forming a Level Six Celestial Essence Array!
"Damn it, truly a costly move this time..."
Qian Yuan felt as though his very foundations were being emptied; the top-grade Spirit Crystals were consumables, relatively minor in comparison.
It was the array flags, painstakingly refined to top-grade perfection, that were his cherished treasures!
Any damage to these array flags felt like deep pain.
He had only read about such ancient, legendary treasures like the Celestial Phoenix Feather in ancient books and hearsay but never witnessed one firsthand, so didn’t know its true power; taking no chances provided necessary precaution.
