Soaring of Galaxia Chapter 563 Exposed

Luo Hengye had also studied the beast language to some extent. Through his whispers, he instructed the Heavenly Punishing Hawk to thoroughly search the area and told it about all the details.
The Heavenly Punishing Hawk only replied with a snort. Despite its arrogant attitude, Luo Hengye did not dare to be disrespectful.
He would not dare to offend it even if it was a small spiritual beast. After all, this beast was a highly-prized treasure they had borrowed from the Heavenly Punishing Villa. Not to mention how the strength of the Heavenly Punishing Hawk was no less than theirs, they must pay respect even when listening to the words of the Heavenly Punishing Hawk.
Very few people had understood the words of the beast. Even if they did, they were not fluent and would not know what Luo Hengye had talked about. However, judging by the facial expression of Luo Hengye, they had made some assumptions. They all started to investigate their surroundings with vigilance as if they were afraid that Qin Wushuang suddenly jump out from the darkness.
In spite of their lack of understanding, Qin Wushuang had heard them clearly. He was even more proficient in the beast language than Luo Hengye. Upon hearing his conversation, he immediately knew it was anything but reassuring: "This Heavenly Punishing Hawk is the prize of the Heavenly Punishing Villa? Hearing Luo Hengye's tone, it should be an elite warrior specializing in tracking…"
As the thought entered his mind, Qin Wushuang became even more cautious and sealed off all vital energy points to hide every single trace of his presence. He only perked his two ears up to hear the movements on the outside.
He already decided that once the enemy had discovered him and started to dig into the earth, he would consume the Sky Pilfered Pill immediately and enter the Profound Void Martial Stage. This way, he could summon the sealed spiritual beasts of the Exquisite Mysteries Boundary!
Upon receiving Luo Hengye's instructions, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk started to circle around a few hundred metres around the stone tablet. Initially, it did not fly at a fast speed. The more it circled around, the faster it flew.
In the end, it seemed like a vortex surrounding the area. Suddenly, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk stopped momentarily and then, it expanded its search area.
When one expanded the search area, of course more time would be spent. From time to time, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk walked on the ground, soared to the high sky and hover around the stone tablet.
After a while, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk seemed to become irritated. Apparently, it also encountered some confusion.
Such show of emotion made it look extremely irascible. In the eyes of Luo Tongtian and his group, they more or less felt uncertain. They were unaware the situation the hawk was in.
Everyone looked at Luo Hengye and they clearly wanted him to make some inquiries.
Summoned up his courage, Luo Hengye asked in beast language: "Divine Hawk, what is the situation?"
The Heavenly Punishing Hawk said with the beast language: "Prior to your arrival, there were three presences that had lingered here. There were several presences that only made short stops here. However, their presence is similar to yours and should be the scouts of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect."
Luo Hengye immediately nodded: "Yes, we had sent people here to investigate."
The Heavenly Punishing Hawk said again: "For those three presences, one of them appeared to be of significance. The other two did not seem to have stayed here for long. They have left towards the same direction. For the remaining one, I cannot find the route he left by. I am sure that the owner of one of the three presences did not leave! However, I have searched thoroughly and did not sense where this person was hiding."
With a solemn expression, Luo Hengye translated their conversation to everyone. Everyone's complexion changed drastically as they looked at Luo Tongtian: "Head Dao Warrior, this…"
"Second, ask him, can he verify whether the owner of this presence is alive or dead? Perhaps when Qin Wushuang was destroying the Subdued Devil Stone Tablet, he was swallowed by its power. It's possible."
Luo Hengye asked the question, per Luo Tongtian's direction.
The Heavenly Punishing Hawk refuted it: "It's impossible for him to be dead! If it's a dead person, the presence would have rapidly disappeared . This presence exudes some incredible vital energy and was in action a moment ago. There are traces of an active spiritual perception!"
Showing dramatic changes on his face, Luo Hengye translated its words urgently.
Instantly, Luo Tongtian shouted with a change of expression: "Seal off the area immediately!"
Tian Mingshan and Zuo Lengshuang immediately took people to encircle several dozens of miles around their location. They had set up an inescapable net.
Deep inside the ley lines, Qin Wushuang also cursed after he heard the words of the Heavenly Punishing Hawk: "Such a powerful bastard beast!"
"Head Dao Warrior, it seems the spiritual perception movements you sensed was not a coincidence, but had truly existed. That guy is close to us."
Luo Hengye turned to speak to the Heavenly Punishing Hawk: "Divine Hawk, search again, since the presence of this guy is still here, for sure you are capable of finding him with your power."
The Heavenly Punishing Hawk gave a cold sneer and said: "No need to search, I know where he is."
Qin Wushuang's heart thumped for he thought, could this hawk have already discovered him? Without thinking, he seized the Sky Pilfered Pill into his hand and swallowed it.
After eating it, Qin Wushuang did not dare to process it. At this moment, if he were to just slightly use his spiritual Qi, the enemy would likely discover him.
Therefore, before reaching the final moment, he decided not to process this Sky Pilfered Pill nor forcefully pursue the Profound Void Martial Stage. He felt that he could consolidate his skill more at the Transformation Void Martial Stage, in this qi-rich underground abyss. He could build a solid foundation.
He aimed to build a foundation before he began to build on it. After he had processed the Sky Pilfered Pill, he would like to enter the Profound Void Martial Stage immediately. Or else, the side effects brought from a forceful upgrade would catch him off guard.
Therefore, he decided to wait.
If he had one more month, it would be enough for him to consolidate and refine his current stage. Then, by letting nature taking its course, he would have the confidence to attain the Profound Void Martial Stage.
Only, Qin Wushuang was not optimistic at all about being given the one month of time he desired. With the current situation, he felt he could not hold on for a month.
Perhaps, even a day would be difficult. With the current situation, he was incapable of acting blindly and without thinking. He worried that the enemy would be alerted once he used his spiritual Qi and hence, discover his position. Right now, if he could keep the enemy guessing it would give him some more time.
Hearing the words of the Heavenly Punishing Hawk, Luo Hengye was filled with joy and shock as he immediately asked for the details.
The Heavenly Punishing Hawk pointed below the Subdued Devil Stone Tablet: "He's under there!"
Startled, Luo Hengye said: "Under...Underneath?"
"Yes, underneath!" The Heavenly Punishing Hawk said with assurance, "However I cannot lock onto his precise location, but I am sure that he is under the ground."
Luo Hengye rushed to asked: "If he is down there, the scope is quite wide. And he can move around anytime." Luo Hengye was also capable of thinking for himself. Initially, he wanted to communicate through spiritual perception. Yet considered how he was speaking the language of the beasts, the other party would surely not understand. Thus, he did not speak through spiritual perception.
He turned around and communicated through spiritual perception to Long Tongtian.
Luo Tongtian found it to be outrageous when he heard. He also sent his spiritual perception out: "Second, is this Heavenly Punishing Hawk reliable? You know about this place, this is the sect's spiritual qi source, the place with the most formidable restrictions. One cannot even fly, not to mention travelling underground."
"Head Dao Warrior, the Divine Hawk is the specialist in this area."
Luo Tongtian nodded: "Ok, then I will give it a try, and see if I can break through the surface!"
He made a hand gesture and everyone retreated to a far distance to give space for Luo Tongtian. Then, Luo Tongtian grabbed a wide and giant sword into his hand.
Suddenly, his body was surrounded by a ball of resplendent light and fused with that giant sword.
Dang!
A crisp and powerful sound echoed through the sky. The piercing vibration fused with a rush of cold light had slashed down on top of the ruins.
Boom!
The violent clash had instantly shattered the ball of light surrounding Luo Tongtian's body. His body also flipped back a dozen times in the sky following the power of the impact. Feeling the Qi and blood roiling across his entire body, he only felt an indescribable discomfort to the extent that he wanted to vomit.
Too powerful!
Luo Tongtian's head was filled with these words. Shaking his head with a bitter mile, he withdrew the giant sword and dropped to the ground. Finally, he stabilized his turbulent qi and blood.
"Head Dao Warrior, this…" Luo Hengye and the others also surrounded him. They found it disbelieving as they looked at the ruins beside him. Those ruins seemed like a fortress. A moment ago, the attack from the Head Dao Warrior had displayed a domineering power capable of engulfing the heaven and earth. The bold and powerful aura had impeded their breathing and awed them. Unexpectedly, under such powerful attack, it had only caused countless stone crumbs to shower down as the sword did not even leave a mark.
Luo Tongtian said with a bitter smile: "It's useless. Without the power of the Supreme Dao, I cannot break through the surface. However, the one assuring thing is that the spiritual qi veins was not damaged. Or else, the surface would not have proven to be this firm."
"So, this place is still repairable?" Luo Hengye asked.
"We have to wait until another elite warrior of the Supreme Dao appears in the Heavenly Luo Doaist sect." Luo Tongtian frowned and looked at the ruins with dazzled eyes. He mumbled to himself, "Since the surface is so strong, how did Qin Wushuang enter beneath the ground? He would not have other ways to travel to the depths of the ley lines. With the surface this hard, the deeper you go, the firmer it would be. It's impossible to enter the ground!"
Luo Tongtian could not solve this question.
Luo Hengye said with a bitter smile: "Could it be that he got swept down when he was destroying the Subduing Devil Stone Tablet, right? I used my spiritual perception and qi to investigate and sensed a powerful vortex. It's possible that he got swept in by that vortex."
"If he got swept in, how is this kid still alive after so many days?" Luo Tongtian remained perplexed despite so much thought.
There always seemed to be endless puzzles regarding Qin Wushuang. From beginning to end, this kid from the Human Countries seems to be filled with a mystical aura and full of unimaginable miracles.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk said with a cold sneer: "It's useless for you to be puzzled here. To find this person, you must borrow a divine weapon. Only a divine weapon can break through the surface."
Divine weapon? Luo Tongtian and Luo Hengye exchanged a glance as both felt a rush of excitement.
