Chapter 1009 - 944: Arrival of the Celestial Being?

Yin Wang and Wuxian are not afraid of Han Yu’s harsh conditions, but rather are most afraid that Han Yu would agree without a second thought.

This would instead seem too frivolous.

As for the condition of not stepping into the Central Continent, it was indeed quite harsh, but Wuxian agreed.

Firstly, the Endless Sea Domain is vast enough, even if they don’t enter the Central Continent, with their world-spanning powers, creating a suitable environment for habitation is not difficult.

Back then, those people overseas lived well away from the Central Continent, so thinking differently, not entering the Central Continent is not a big deal.

"Alright, once you win, the Endless Sea Domain will be ours, and we will not set foot in the Central Continent in this lifetime."

Thus, both parties reached a preliminary consensus, and now it was only a matter of how Han Yu wanted to cooperate.

Yin Wang and Wuxian maintained serious expressions, though the other party had not spoken, they already felt certain that it would be a rather tricky matter.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have come personally.

"Speak! What do you need us to do?"

Wuxian spoke first, asking in a deep voice.

Han Yu smiled slightly and slowly mentioned two things.

He glanced at Wuxian and spoke, "Inquiry Stone."

Then he looked at Yin Wang and said, "Enlightenment Tree."

The sound of simultaneous gasps could be heard, and both parties’ expressions changed drastically.

Jiang Xinyuan couldn’t help but question, "Are you trying to send us to our deaths?"

They all knew that these two items were means of the Heavenly Dao, and trying to create them again was no easy feat.

Not only is it not easy, but they might even lose their own lives.

Yin Wang’s expression turned peculiar. Ultimately, it was his rotten idea. Initially, he wanted to trick Han Yu, but it unexpectedly backfired on him.

"Can’t we change the way we cooperate? This matter is too difficult."

He furrowed his brows and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Han Yu’s brows twitched, detecting something else. Too difficult? Not impossible.

Doesn’t that mean there might be a way?

"Why don’t you tell me how it can be done, after all!"

When it comes to conditions, plenty more can be proposed. If feasible, Han Yu believed he could meet them.

Unless it was an exorbitant demand.

"It’s not about the conditions; it’s already contrary to our goals."

Yin Wang shook his head. This matter might drag him down as well, the risk is too great.

"Why don’t you speak first? Perhaps we can negotiate further."

Han Yu was unwilling to let the opportunity slip and couldn’t help but urge.

Yin Wang glanced at him with a complicated expression and sighed, "To acquire these items, the risk is too great. Why should we risk our lives for you?"

The premise of cooperation is equality, and obviously, this has surpassed that scope.

They chose to cooperate to survive, not to risk their lives for cooperation.

This matter itself is full of danger, not worth the risk for them.

"Or, give me a reason to risk my life!"

Yin Wang maintained a solemn expression. Regardless of the conditions or reasons, he couldn’t find any reason to convince himself to take the risk.

Not even the emperor could make him risk his life.

...

Yan Yi was leading people around the world searching for Han Yu, but there was not a trace to be found.

The entire Central Continent seemed to suddenly be without him.

They knew the other party had means of concealment, but this was too thorough.

Not a trace of aura leaked out.

What kind of methods could achieve such a degree?

Mostly, it could only be the methods of the Heavenly Dao, which further strengthened their resolve to destroy Han Yu.

This was also their main purpose, to eliminate all of Heavenly Dao’s remnants and force the Heavenly Dao to appear.

Suddenly, the ten people simultaneously paused as a sensation came from the east, and Yan Yi turned.

Han Yu had appeared!

When the ten of them rushed into the Endless Sea Domain, they saw Yin Wang leading Jiu You and Wujiu, along with a large number of Yama Hall cultivators, chasing Han Yu.

"Die!"

Yin Wang, Jiu You, and Wujiu attacked simultaneously, unleashing the power of rules and spiritual power, but Yan Yi suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

But it was too late, and Han Yu was struck by spiritual power and rule power, crashing into the water.

By the time Yan Yi and others arrived, it was already too late; Han Yu’s trail had vanished once more.

Just a little bit more, Yan Yi exuded killing intent, his featureless face radiating with menace toward the three individuals.

"Why didn’t you listen to me and insisted on attacking?"

Yin Wang felt a chill in his heart. He thought these entities were not lacking in intelligence, but they were much more than that; they possessed intelligence akin to monsters.

Suppressing his shock, he took the initiative to face them.

"I was acting on my master’s orders to hunt this person down. Why shouldn’t I act?"

This was a perfect excuse, a justified cause.

Yan Yi’s blank face showed no expression as he looked at the other party.

"And yet you let him escape."

After staring for a moment, Yan Yi spoke coldly.

Yin Wang remained neither humble nor haughty, "My master hasn’t blamed me, so what gives you the identity to dare to surpass my master to criticize me?"

As he uttered these words, his palms were already drenched in cold sweat, but he had to speak, for not being arrogant would be the most abnormal.

After all, on the surface, he is still the apprentice of the Celestial Being from Yama Hall, and in a sense, no one can accuse him.

Not even these creatures, who are stronger than him, can do it.

Unless everyone has decided to stop pretending, or they truly have no use for him anymore.

Fortunately, Yan Yi and the others have no intention of taking action; instead, they remain silent.

Suddenly, a voice emanates from Yan Yi, and the already nervous Yin Wang nearly loses his composure.

"Yin Wang, listen to them in the matters ahead."

This voice is exactly that person’s, and Yin Wang even vaguely senses some of the master’s aura from Yan Yi.

Has the Celestial Being descended upon this creature?

Yin Wang’s expression immediately changes, and he respectfully bows, as he once did. After bowing, he cautiously stands to the side.

As for the others, they have already knelt down.

"Master, Han Yu is too slippery. He possesses too many Heavenly Dao techniques. I’ve been waiting here for half a month with people, yet he still managed to escape."

Yin Wang looks regretful and starts by asking for forgiveness, while the half month’s whereabouts are subtly revealed.

A voice emerges from Yan Yi, indifferent.

"No matter, leave it to them. You cooperate with them."

Yin Wang shows a dissatisfied demeanor and immediately speaks, "Master, they may not have a way either. As long as Han Yu does not show himself, any means are useless. The disciple still has ideas to try again."

The surroundings are silent, and Yin Wang bows his head, waiting for a long time.

After a long while, a flat voice emerges from Yan Yi.

"Speak!"

Upon receiving a response, Yin Wang slowly straightens up, organizes his thoughts, and starts to speak.

"He has an extremely troublesome concealment technique. As long as he doesn’t show himself, others truly can’t deal with him."

"The disciple wants to use some of the Enlightenment Tree as bait to lure him out."

This method was used before, even to handle Han Yu against the Celestial Dao Sect, so it doesn’t sound strange coming from him.

"How much do you want to use?"

Yan Yi asks indifferently.

After some hesitation, Yin Wang raises his head and speaks, "Thirty percent."

"Do you think they would fall for it again?"

They ask.

Yin Wang bows and responds, "I don’t need him to fall for it. I just need him to know that I’m willing to destroy these things, that’s enough. Since this is a setup by the Heavenly Dao, it’s surely important to him. We’ll see if he comes to snatch it."

"What if he doesn’t come?"

A voice sounds again.

Yin Wang smiles slightly, "If he doesn’t come, we are at no loss; it’s him in distress, not us. If he doesn’t come once, I’ll destroy another batch. I don’t believe he won’t be moved."

Just as when he was beside that person, freely discussing, Yin Wang’s scheme is devious to the extreme.

Precisely because of this, Yan Yi gradually nods, as their voice sounds indifferently.

"Will the bait be too small?"

Yin Wang quickly shakes his head and hurriedly speaks.

"This is Central Continent, after all. The disciple fears if it’s too much, even the Heavenly Dao might intervene. By that time, we’d only make losses instead."

"Really?"

A cold voice emerges, Yan Yi laughs coldly then speaks.

"Then use it all."

Yin Wang’s expression changes, seemingly wanting to prevent this.

"Won’t that be too risky? The disciple fears problems will arise."

Yan Yi coldly shakes their head, "You don’t need to worry about other things; I’ll have Yan Yi handle it. You just coordinate with him."

Yin Wang seems about to speak when another breath changes again, as they leave.

Yin Wang feels somewhat saddened inside; does this mean he’s no longer trusted or needed?

No matter which it is, it’s equally disheartening.

Yin Wang has already shown his true emotions, speaking with a grimace.

"How should we coordinate?"

"There’s no need for you to worry about that. From now on, continue gathering rules. Leave other matters alone."

Yan Yi doesn’t seem to care for any of them, coldly speaking.

"We are supposedly the top three Hall Masters of the ten halls, and you want us to do menial tasks?"

Yin Wang, angry, his chest heaving.

"You can also choose not to do it."

Yan Yi suddenly flashes a killing intent, faintly threatening.

Yin Wang’s face turns grim, snorting coldly as he takes his people away in anger.

"Arrogant fool, unaware that we are the real ten halls."

Yan Yi looks out, scoffing, wishing he could have eliminated them long ago if they weren’t of some use.

Yin Wang’s group travels several hundred miles before stopping; Jiu You and Wujiu already staring at him with admiration.

Originally, those words were meant to be brought up in a small world, yet unexpectedly that master could descend upon a faceless one.

"Had it not been for your talking, we would’ve been exposed."

Jiu You sighs, it wasn’t only Yin Wang who was startled earlier; both he and Wujiu were similarly petrified.

Should that master have questioned them, they likely would’ve slipped up.

What impresses them most is how smoothly Yin Wang handled it, even skillfully divulging it.
