Chapter 1013 - 948: Digging a Deep Pit, Yan Yi and Jingzhe Fall into the Trap

Since Yan Yi and Jingzhe have left, there’s naturally no need for the remaining people to stay.

The rules are gone, there’s nothing to fight for.

Wuxian and Yin Mo exchanged cold glances and then turned to leave.

This world, which was just now shaking with turmoil, is now devoid of a single person.

But at the Eastern Territory’s New City ruins, six figures stealthily arrived one after another.

Han Yu still appeared disheveled, having just been assaulted in earnest, especially with the six feeling delighted.

After all, the chance to go all out against Han Yu is rare.

As soon as the six entered, Han Yu’s face turned dark.

"It was all to make the act more realistic."

Yin Mo explained as he entered, though it would have been better if the look of satisfaction on his face wasn’t so blatant.

He indeed got a great advantage, first ruthlessly beating Wuxian and the others, and finally getting to hit Han Yu as well.

Initially, Wuxian and the others felt uncomfortable, but seeing Han Yu’s sorry state, they suddenly felt inexplicably comforted.

"What on earth are you guys doing?"

Han Yu asked with a dark expression.

Had it not been clearly stated beforehand that they would go all out against him, Han Yu might have suspected these bastards of backstabbing.

Yin Mo explained, "If we don’t act, the matter about the rules won’t stay covered for long."

They aren’t eager to die soon; adding another person to share the burden is essential.

If only Wuxian and they are held accountable, problems will surely arise sooner or later.

Additionally, there’s an important point.

"Yan Yi and the others are still inactive, if you don’t stir the pot a bit, how will you provoke them?"

Wuxian sighed, the same situation was theirs too. Though Jingzhe got the directive from that one, yet there’s no action.

According to the agreement, they need to find a way to snatch the Inquiry Stone and the Enlightenment Tree for it to count.

Since neither side is willing to act, their focus had to turn to Han Yu.

"You want the items, you have to cooperate!"

Yin Mo sighed helplessly.

It’s the worst plan he could think of, yet it’s the quickest to take effect.

As long as Han Yu keeps causing a stir, he can provoke both sides into action and speed up progress.

"Tell me, how should I cooperate?"

Han Yu asked thoughtfully.

"It’s quite simple..."

Yin Mo began to talk endlessly.

Elsewhere, Yan Yi and his group had just returned and barely sat down before their hearts started racing.

An aura under their control reappeared in the Southern Border area.

Without much thought, ten figures vanished instantly.

"It’s done!"

Han Yu had just felled a Dharma Aspect at his feet when the Artifact Spirit rushed out, eagerly collecting seeds with a jade bowl.

After a series of urging calls, the Artifact Spirit quickly returned, and Han Yu withdrew under a veil of mist.

Almost simultaneously, as Han Yu just performed Earth Escape, Yan Yi and Jingzhe arrived shortly after.

Both sides stared at each other, apart from the chaotic surroundings indicating recent combat, there was not a trace of Han Yu.

More importantly, the aura had disappeared again.

"Damn thing, how can he hide so well."

Yan Yi’s blank face twisted as he spoke coldly.

Jingzhe remained expressionless, although he was speechless, his murderous aura was unmistakable.

Without any trace, both sides could only retreat again.

Han Yu had just escaped from the Southern Border when the Token once again transmitted a voice.

"How’s it going?"

The voice was from Wuxian, and besides his voice, there were other sounds around him.

"Just escaped, almost didn’t make it."

This kind of act is akin to playing with fire, needing to snatch rules and retreat swiftly; even with the slightest delay, it can’t be done.

If timing isn’t handled right, they could be caught by the people on either side any moment.

"I’ve also spread out here, offering positions anytime, we won’t show ourselves."

After Wuxian quickly spoke, he reported a location.

The remaining part is up to Han Yu now, they can’t show up again to avoid leaving too many traces.

Han Yu showing up alone is fitting and reasonable.

With these insiders providing positions, Han Yu is genuinely moving effortlessly like a fish in water.

Thus, before Jingzhe’s group reached the stone platform, the five figures halted.

Han Yu’s aura had appeared again!

The five could only turn back again; their speed was rapid, but still not fast enough.

By the time the five arrived, Yan Yi and his crew had also shown up.

But apart from the scarred, desolate earth, there was nothing there.

Not only were the rules gone, even the monsters that had emerged were all cleanly slain.

This time, the sides couldn’t even speak a word before leaving.

"Come over here."

Shang Wanfeng also found a place where there were not many Dharma Aspect monsters, only two or three, also a place with rules.

Han Yu hurriedly arrived, drew his blade, and began hacking wildly, while the Artifact Spirit also appeared, swiftly pointing his fingers.

In an instant, everything was annihilated, seeds swiftly collected, and they left.

Facing the fifteen individuals was the same empty, chaotic ground.

What followed became interesting.

Han Yu seemed like he could predict their movements, always appearing in places completely off from where they were going, and much too far away to give them any chase.

After repeating this seven or eight times, Yan Yi finally reacted, coldly speaking to Jingzhe, "That damn thing is leading us in circles."

All these times, Han Yu is merely leading them around Central Continent.

They were being dragged into his rhythm.

If this continues, aside from running around, it’ll serve no purpose.

But, if they don’t follow, will they just watch the other side burn, kill, and loot?

Yan Yi’s mentality was starting to fray; as someone nearing Transcendence in the Divine Dao Realm, he found it hard to accept being run around by a newcomer.

Jingzhe’s face turned icy, filled with a murderous aura.

Han Yu dared to stir trouble knowing he was being watched; such elusive movements seemed deliberate, no one would believe it was unintentional.

"He’s provoking us!"

Jingzhe coldly declared, then added with palpable killing intent.

"Does he really think there’s nothing we can do to him?"

But just as he finished speaking, Han Yu’s aura appeared again.

Just as they guessed, Han Yu’s location this time was still completely off, far away from them.

When they arrived at full speed, Han Yu was predictably gone once again.

After repeating this cycle a few times, Jingzhe suddenly returned to the stone platform with a cold expression.

He stopped chasing; knowing the enemy was intentionally making them angry, pursuing further would yield nothing but frustration.

After returning, Jingzhe headed straight for the Tao Palace, faced the emerging screen of light, and bowed deeply.

"Master, we need the Inquiry Stone."

He indeed didn’t want to be led by the nose anymore; Han Yu’s means of concealment were far too cunning, although they couldn’t defeat them, they equally couldn’t capture him.

Yan Yi tried chasing a few more times but found that Jingzhe and his group had left, losing the intention to pursue too.

He similarly led his team back to the Western Territory camp.

Upon returning, he went directly into the Tao Palace...

Meanwhile, Han Yu was capturing a few more wild Dharma Aspect monsters and Faceless ones without seeing either side chase after him anymore.

From the Token, voices of Wuxian and Yin Mo arrived simultaneously.

"It’s done!"

The affair was more or less successful, having led these two groups for a tour around the entire Central Continent like dogs.

They were probably about to blow up with anger.

"If assumptions are correct, they should be preparing to lure and kill you."

Yin Mo speculated.

Han Yu had stirred enough trouble; it seemed unlikely Yan Yi and the others could hold back.

Wuxian also received news from Jiang Xinyuan that Jingzhe and his group went straight to the Tao Palace upon returning.

It seemed they planned to use the Inquiry Stone.

Everything seemed to be moving in line with the plan.

"How do you plan to proceed next?"

Wuxian asked Yin Mo through the Token.

As the one who came up with the bad idea, he naturally had to follow up.

"Just wait." Yin Mo’s voice slowly transmitted.

"That’s not going to work, I’ll keep stirring trouble!"

Han Yu relished the advantage; with these insiders specifically selecting positions for him,

not only was the rule-snatching easy but safe, why wait?

Keep going!
