Chapter 1011 - 946: Unless They Compare Accounts

Another half a month passed like this.

During this time, Han Yu truly didn’t dare to show his face.

He remained in the fog throughout.

As the Artifact Spirit put it, staying without the fog feels like being naked, offering no sense of security.

Suddenly, the token vibrated, but the voice coming through was not from anyone in the Central Continent.

"Rule, come quickly."

Wujiu’s voice was particularly urgent, the sound of fierce battles continuously echoed around, seeming quite lively.

At the ruins of the Eastern Territory’s New City, after Han Yu re-entered the ground, he began heading towards Wujiu.

This wasn’t the first time; just half a month ago, two groups had secretly come over again.

They came to communicate, to prevent any mistakes.

Actually, there were no mistakes to make. Just like dealing with Yin Wraith, Wuxian’s method was excellent, but the task was handed over to Jingzhe and the others.

These two groups truly dared not have any more expectations, especially Yin Wraith and Wuxian who both speculated.

Could it be that these monsters were the real main body, and they were all substitutes?

After all, both sides’ experiences were too tragic, each reduced to mere supporting roles.

Which also intensified the doubts on both sides.

Snatching food from the tiger’s mouth was their first step of revenge.

Once any side’s monster discovered the rule, they would notify the other side, and the other side would bring their monster over to snatch it.

Once they snatch, they’d have to fight, and when fighting, they’d ignore the rule.

At this time, Han Yu could secretly collect it.

For this, Han Yu even had Mo Xiuwen specially create a batch of tokens for communication with them.

Besides the token in Han Yu’s hand, the tokens held by the other six people could only be used for communication, all other functions were removed.

It must be said, after getting the tokens, those two groups’ tactics became even more elaborate, directly dispersing to squeeze their own sides dry.

Efficiency increased so much that Han Yu almost grinned from ear to ear.

In a mere half month, he had collected over thirty rules.

By the time Han Yu hurried over, the sky was filled with rumbling, still intensely fighting.

Wujiu, this sly fellow, leisurely watched the monsters from both sides slaughter each other, occasionally clicking his tongue.

A classic image of a traitor.

Until Han Yu appeared and nearly startled him into action.

"Can’t you stop being so elusive, it’s unsettling."

Wujiu spoke helplessly.

"If I weren’t elusive, your family’s monsters would come to kill immediately, want to try?"

Han Yu replied irritably.

At this time, the Artifact Spirit was already sneakily collecting rules with a bowl, full of mischief.

"Isn’t what you all are doing risky?"

Han Yu glanced at the ongoing battles on both sides, frowned.

After all, they had been doing this for half a month, lest anything goes wrong.

Everyone was still in the honeymoon phase of cooperation, Han Yu still needed to use them, naturally not wanting them to cause trouble at this critical juncture.

Wujiu shook his head confidently, "Nothing will go wrong. This plan was conceived by Shang Wanfeng, the infamous schemer. Don’t let his usual silence fool you, actually..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold, icy voice suddenly interrupted from the token, "Who are you calling devious, you brat!"

Apparently, Wujiu hadn’t turned off the token’s communication, leading him to inadvertently speak about someone.

Wujiu quickly cleared his throat to change the topic, "Unless people from both sides converge to reconcile accounts, nothing can go wrong."

Currently, it’s merely an illusion of mutual theft.

The Faceless ones here just thought it was Dharma Aspect monsters who grabbed them.

And the Dharma Aspect monsters just believed it was the Faceless ones who seized their rules.

The accounts are already so messed up—unless that group of people gathers to reconcile them.

But that’s impossible.

"No worries, both sides might be tacitly understanding, but collaboration and account reconciliation are impossible."

Shang Wanfeng’s voice came from the token; since it was his idea, he naturally considered all facets.

Absolutely no problems will arise.

After speaking, he once again said, "Let me come over too!"

The Artifact Spirit had already flown back into the Sea of Consciousness, Wujiu glanced at the battle scene before slipping away, he too needed to change his position to act up.

After Han Yu secretly performed Earth Escape, he changed direction to seek out a new approach.

...

The collection of rules drastically reduced in number, saying it wouldn’t draw attention is impossible.

Currently, Jingzhe was tallying the Dharma Aspect monsters that had returned. Surprisingly, in half a month they couldn’t even collect twenty rules.

He first suspected whether Wuxian and others were up to tricks, yet when he reached out to explore each Dharma Aspect monster, he truly only saw images of both sides fighting over rules.

And occasionally accompanied by battles between a few people and the Yama Hall’s few visible puppets.

Everything seems spotless.

Yet oddly, the rules continued to dwindle.

It could only be due to the other side.

Wuxian and others discreetly wiped their sweat, fortunately they had been cautious, putting on shows with Yin Wraith and others several times before, unexpectedly needing them now.

Unexpectedly, these monsters could even read the memories of Dharma Aspect.

Similar occurrences were happening in the Western Territory too.

After Yan Yi finished reading the memories of the Faceless ones, his blank face twisted into a contorted expression.

Similarly, he couldn’t find any flaws; if effort was considered, Yin Wraith and others seemed quite diligent, nearly playing for their lives in the images.

Against the Celestial Dao Sect’s overt puppets, it was akin to avenging a father’s death, showing a posture of mutual destruction.

This was due, in part, to Yama Hall’s deliberate guidance to intensify hatred between both sides; also partly because they’ve battled for millennia, sparking intense flames.

So it’s rational.

Yet rules failed to increase, what a mystery.

It could only be attributed to the opposing side being devious.

They could maintain a tacit understanding in dealing with Heavenly Dao and Han Yu, but couldn’t uphold it in competing for rules.

Ultimately, both sides were destined for a fight to the death.

Currently, it’s merely everyone employing their means.

Yan Yi ceased to fuss over these matters and coldly spoke.

"If they’re going to snatch, you can snatch them as well."

Upon hearing this statement, Yin Wraith nearly burst with joy, since Yan Yi said so, it meant they were set to continue their schemes.

Later they’ll perform some grand drama, everyone comes out to confront each other—the more grandiose, the better.

Regarding the matter of the Enlightenment Tree, Yin Wraith suppressed the urge to question, did not bring it up.

As long as this group took action, it couldn’t be concealed from him.

If Han Yu truly had the ability to retrieve something from the fire, well then, there’d be a spectacle.

Wondering what the reaction would be when the time came, and Yan Yi’s blank face’s expression at that moment.

After leaving the camp hundreds of miles from the Western Territory, the three of them spoke with the token, "No major issues, continue."

"No flaws, we can proceed."

Wuxian similarly responded.

Han Yu silently listened and couldn’t help but grin widely.

"The biggest fear is an internal mole. If we can continue this, most rules will likely end up with us."

The Artifact Spirit cheerfully chimed in, thoroughly enjoying its collection over the past half month.

After a long laugh, Han Yu shook his head slightly.

"It’s fine now, but it definitely won’t last long."

In the short term, this might be understandable, but if prolonged, even a fool would notice something’s wrong.

There’s no child crying every day, no one losing every day.

No matter which side, if endlessly faced with low returns, they’ll assuredly sense it.

Yin Wraith and Wuxian certainly understand this, otherwise their eagerness to sabotage their own wouldn’t be so intense.

The token chimed again.

This time, however, it wasn’t the two groups, but the cultivators from the Central Continent.
