Chapter 1012 - 947: Putting on a Show, Han Yu as the Star

When Han Yu returned, all the ships in the Endless Sea Domain were in a concealed state.

Since Yan Yi and Jingzhe’s groups came down, Han Yu had specifically instructed all the cultivators to return.

They couldn’t find him but might track him down through these people.

So Han Yu did not plan to give them that chance.

The token was sent by Quan Xiaotong, just hoping he could come back this time.

As soon as Han Yu landed on the largest Celestial Wave Crossing ship, the deck was already full of waiting people.

Most of the authorities were present, truly a rare gathering of Central Continent cultivators.

As Han Yu just stepped on the deck, Quan Xiaotong and the others gathered around.

"I heard you’ve cooperated with Yin Wang and Wuxian again?"

Quan Xiaotong immediately asked, and since Artifact Spirit had traveled back and forth a few times in half a month, it was not strange to know these things.

Han Yu nodded silently; there was nothing to hide. He hadn’t mentioned it because the matter was too significant.

Such matters were beyond what Quan Xiaotong and the others could be involved in.

However, he didn’t know that ever since Artifact Spirit mentioned the matter, Central Continent cultivators had been pondering it for half a month.

"You better not get involved this time; I don’t even feel secure myself."

Han Yu remained uneasy.

Quan Xiaotong’s expression was solemn; this matter was not just Han Yu’s concern but also Central Continent’s, and he couldn’t remain indifferent.

"Central Continent has also thought of a few methods; we’ll have to see then."

Why was Quan Xiaotong then eagerly calling him back?

Just as Han Yu was puzzled, he saw Chasing Soul and Mo Xiuwen step out simultaneously.

Soon, a mechanism shaped much like a coffin board was carried up.

"Pharmacist, lie down first."

Mo Xiuwen’s first words made Han Yu’s face darken.

Goodness, calling him back to lie in a coffin board?

That was naturally impossible; Mo Xiuwen spoke mysteriously, "You’ll understand once you’re in."

Filled with confusion, Han Yu actually lay down inside as Mo Xiuwen turned around and closed the mechanism.

Soon, another mechanism was carried up, and once opened, Chasing Soul cast an unwilling glance at Mo Xiuwen.

"Hurry up."

Mo Xiuwen urged impatiently, only then did he reluctantly crawl inside.

Once both mechanisms were closed, they began to emit light, and everyone held their breath in anticipation.

When the mechanism opened again, Han Yu was still in a daze until a figure emerged from the other mechanism, causing him to exclaim in shock.

"Damn!"

"What are you guys up to?"

He could clearly sense Chasing Soul’s presence, but the face was identical to his own.

Even Artifact Spirit couldn’t restrain its curiosity and scratched all over his face.

No matter how he pinched, the face remained unchanged.

Not just the face, even the physique was identical, the only distinguishable feature being the clothes.

"It worked, I said it wouldn’t be hard."

Mo Xiuwen spoke with a joyful smile.

Chasing Soul retorted, "Not hard? Try it yourself, see how it feels to have your bones stretched."

"Why did it have to be me to suffer this? Couldn’t Hun Yi do it?"

He continued his grumbling until another Chasing Soul appeared and he fell silent.

"This is Hun Jia, Chasing Soul’s primary clone. We used it to create your substitute."

Mo Xiuwen pointed at the figure with the same face and explained.

"Why make a substitute for me?"

Han Yu examined the identical face, thinking if a substitute had mismatched strength, it would be full of flaws, like having none at all.

"Of course, it’s to die in your place!"

Hun Jia pursed his lips, looking gloomy.

Who could understand being summoned only to be told to be ready to die at any time?

And it wasn’t the first time.

Truly felt like overthrowing his own damn original self.

It was inhumane; at least let some other guys die.

Chasing Soul stepped forward, patting Hun Jia’s shoulder empathically, "I have the others cultivating on your behalf; they’re having a hard time too."

Upon hearing this, Hun Jia’s expression softened, nodding in consolation, "That makes me feel much better, thank you!"

"You’re welcome, we’re all family."

Chasing Soul responded seriously with a nod.

After this little commotion, Han Yu still couldn’t grasp Central Continent’s intentions.

"It’s just that Xiuwen needed you back, and we couldn’t be certain our thoughts were feasible, so let’s not discuss it yet."

Quan Xiaotong shook his head and sighed; this group had some ideas, but they needed to see them in action to know if they were plausible.

It wasn’t the right time to tell Han Yu, to avoid skewing his own thoughts.

During casual conversations, Han Yu occasionally inquired about the situation here; everything was fine. Safety wasn’t in question; now all Celestial Wave Crossings had re-entered the sea’s depths, especially under Han Yu’s fog cover, making it incredibly difficult to locate them in the Endless Sea Domain.

Even if some powerful figure tried to agitate the deep sea, it would likely be a laborious, time-consuming effort.

Undoubtedly, no one would engage in such thankless tasks.

Additionally, the third batch of cultivators had begun their training!

The success of the first two batches greatly boosted morale, furthermore, Mo Xiuwen’s mechanism dharma aspect truly required the Divine Platform Realm to unleash its full potential.

"Central Continent should not be falling behind in basic combat strength, especially with those two groups added, it shouldn’t be too disgraceful."

"However, for higher-tier matters, the Central Continent still has no solutions."

Quan Xiaotong sighed. Faced with Celestial Beings, they simply have no solutions. Even the recent arrivals, those things that seem human but are not, they also have no solutions against them.

When it comes to these aspects, Central Continent cannot assist Han Yu.

These have been old rhetoric, so Quan Xiaotong didn’t elaborate, just found himself uncontrollably thinking about the plans they have discussed in the past half month.

The Token rang again.

Han Yu took it out, hearing the words of Wuxian. The voice was somewhat heavy, appearing a bit displeased.

"Hurry and come to settle the account."

Settle the account?

Han Yu was baffled, and could only greet the others before leaving first.

...

"Can you handle this?"

At the border of the Western Territory and the Northern Border, Wuxian and his group resembled fleeing dogs, with nowhere to escape.

Behind them, Yin Wuang exuded murderous aura, his hundred-zhang Dharma Aspect carrying him with rapid strides, followed by Jiu You and Wujiu, and further behind were a group of faceless people reduced to tools.

Occasionally, the two sides would clash in pursuit. After a brief engagement, Wuxian’s side would always find an opportunity to escape.

Now, after another engagement, Wuxian spoke with a grim expression.

They were supposed to be putting on a play to settle accounts, but the shameless Yin Wuang took the main attack role, leaving the dog role to him.

The other side was enjoying it, while they were struggling.

Several times Jiang Xinyuan almost got angry, wanting to turn back and speak up, but was helpless due to the "human witnesses" Yin Wuang brought along, forced to continue this charade with clenched teeth.

"Why hasn’t the protagonist arrived?"

Shang Wanfeng asked with a frown.

In this play, Han Yu was the main character, meant to act out a scene where Han Yu steals the rules.

Otherwise, it would just be them constantly snatching back and forth, too conspicuous.

If Jingzhe and Yan Yi wised up, they might discover it prematurely.

Discovery was inevitable, but if they could delay it, that would be best.

Especially before Han Yu obtains the Qi Fortune.

Han Yu arrived fashionably late, emerging stealthily from the ground just as the two sides were fiercely battling.

"He’s here!"

Wuxian spoke softly, already prepared.

During the intense battle, a flash of Aurora, in almost an instant, took away several Dharma Aspect monsters.

At the same time, the Artifact Spirit burst out of the Sea of Consciousness, wielding a jade bowl, reaping along the way, snatching three in an instant.

"Courting death!"

Wuxian shouted angrily, the spiritual power that should have struck him was guided back by rules, taking the opportunity to swiftly escape and chase after Han Yu,

Jiang Xinyuan also acted, the flowing rules covering the land, the soil churning like a stream, crashing down like waves.

And Han Yu, preparing for an Earth Escape, was faced with this "wave" and could only retreat further.

"Kill this person first."

Yin Wuang also shouted, while simultaneously taking the lead, the power of decaying rules sent forth, visibly slowing Han Yu’s figure, as if his strength was continuously consumed.

In this brief moment, six Divine Dao Realm cultivators from both sides had already completed the encirclement.

In an instant, darkness descended, accompanied by various roars, the heavens and earth changed color, ribbons of light flashing, illuminating the scene of Han Yu being repeatedly struck down, but soon it was devoured by the darkness again.

"Don’t overact, if you overdo it, it becomes too ludicrous."

Yin Wuang couldn’t help but remind, for just the six of them to beat Han Yu like this was a bit exaggerated.

Acting is acting, fooling around is fooling around, don’t risk your lives.

Moreover, time was almost up.

Indeed, the time had come.

Almost simultaneously, fifteen beams of light fell.

The target aimed directly at the figure within the darkness!

As fifteen people simultaneously acted, various forces turned the world upside down in an instant.

Soon, as light returned to the world, as the surroundings regained tranquility, as all settled.

A group of people’s faces simultaneously turned extremely unsightly.

He escaped again!

"Damn it!"

Both sides almost spoke at once.

"What happened?"

Yan Yi was the first to question Yin Wuang.

Yin Wuang, with a cold and frosty demeanor, stated, "We were seizing their rules, didn’t expect that damned thing to take advantage of it."

On the other side, Wuxian was saying the same.

Both sides were consistent in their accounts, yet neither side believed it, pulling several monsters to re-investigate the memory.

Images flashed by, like a replay, the whole process captured.

Until Han Yu appeared!

Ultimately, the opponent was too tricky, as long as Han Yu wanted to escape, this group couldn’t hold him down, and it was normal.

After all, Han Yu had previously escaped from their grasp.

Thus, both parties had no way to blame each other.

Yan Yi and Jingzhe exchanging a cold glance, then, without a word, turned and left...
