Chapter 884 - 824: Waiting for the Heavenly Dao to Act

The thunder flashed startlingly, as if the Thunder Pool had descended upon the world.

The killing intent was so fierce, it felt like needles on one’s back.

After Jiu You swept Golden Cicada away, his expression suddenly changed as he looked up to see thousands of thunders converging together.

He wanted to turn around and escape, but his breath had already been locked onto him.

The Flying Shuttle of Thunder reached in the blink of an eye!

The vast Thunder Pool fell densely, and in an instant, it submerged him.

Wujiu’s face changed in shock; upon seeing the second mad dog after Yuan Rong, his next thought was to turn away, but Di Liuxin unexpectedly blocked him.

With a cold chuckle, the three-hundred-zhang Dharma Aspect moved instantly, colliding with him.

The wheel of fortune turns, and now it’s his turn for a two-on-one.

Jiang Xinyuan panted heavily, his aura fluctuating, and he had exhausted himself with consecutive forbidden moves.

Spiritual Power was still fine, but the burden on his body was too great.

He dared not continue, took a deep breath, clenched his palm, and crushed the thunder that was about to condense in his fingers.

The thunder before him slowly dissipated, leaving him bewildered.

The giant figure still stood tall!

Jiu You at this moment looked disheveled, like a mad demon, his clothes in tatters, almost destroyed, revealing muscles on the verge of breaking, yet a force stubbornly protected him.

This was not his power!

Jiang Xinyuan’s face turned gloomy as he quickly looked up at the grinding disc’s shadow that had been long forgotten. The First Hall Master had intervened.

Otherwise, with Jiu You’s capability, he might survive but at the cost of half his life!

Indeed, the First Hall Master had intervened, as Jiu You clutched his chest, nearly pierced by the thunder, and at the most critical moment, a force descended from the sky to protect his whole body, barely allowing him to withstand this wave of forbidden moves.

"If you want to act, why not come down yourself."

Jiang Xinyuan sneered at the shadow, suppressing more anger.

He didn’t show it, though anyone who paid such a high price only to be thwarted and rescued would feel upset.

Especially since the one rescued was the second hall of Yama Hall; it vexed him more.

The shadow within the grinding disc remained silent as if too disdainful to speak to him.

As the powerful force gradually peeled away from Jiu You, a sudden fierce light flashed, heading straight for Jiang Xinyuan.

So fast that he hadn’t reacted before it plunged into his Dharma Aspect, striking his face!

Boom!

Jiang Xinyuan, even with a reaction, couldn’t defend in time, instinctively protecting his head with his aura, but the cold light still crushed through, causing a crisp sound.

This strike felt like a slap, causing him and the Dharma Aspect to stagger back.

It seemed like a response to the previous provocation.

The injury was minor for Jiang Xinyuan, but the insult was profound, causing him to grit his teeth.

Before he could speak, a distant, indifferent voice came from the shadow.

"You aren’t worthy for me to come down!"

Who would be worthy if not him?

Jiang Xinyuan was naturally indignant, retorting sarcastically.

"Your plans are almost ruined. If you’re not coming down, just stay up there!"

If the array were completely seized, then Yama Hall would lose any advantage, and even the arrangements from thousands of years ago would vanish into smoke.

Though true, the figure above the shadow remained unconcerned.

From beginning to end, he didn’t come down, even when the array was nearly brought down; he was unmoved.

"Grand Hall Master, we..."

Jiu You even wanted them to come down, fearing the array’s destruction would prevent holy objects from descending upon Central Continent, exactly as Jiang Xinyuan said.

"No worries, there’s still one side that hasn’t acted. I don’t believe it has no preparations; I’ll wait and see."

The First Hall Master coldly spoke those enigmatic words before falling silent.

Soon, everyone understood; if there was another force, it could only be the Heavenly Dao.

Who wouldn’t want Celestial Dao Sect to succeed, aside from Yama Hall, likely the Central Continent’s Heavenly Dao.

Yet, Jiu You doubted this; when their array was raised, the Heavenly Dao from Central Continent wasn’t seen.

Suddenly, his expression turned strange; if it acted now, wouldn’t it also mean Heavenly Dao looked down on them?

Wouldn’t that be even more insulting?

Amidst the stalemate, a sudden aurora appeared in the scene, its speed bewildering.

It flashed across the ground and surged toward Golden Cicada and Coconut’s figures.

Naturally, this was Han Yu’s intervention; with the others fighting and debating, it was enough for him to act.

Just as he lifted them, Jiang Xinyuan’s expression changed, swiftly charging forward.

Han Yu’s disruption didn’t scare him, but Golden Cicada being taken was unacceptable.

Now with the high platform destroyed, Golden Cicada was the only means left.

"Put them down!"

The shout echoed, yet the Dharma Aspect had arrived first.

Once Han Yu picked them up, he hadn’t had time for Earth Escape and was already locked in by aura.

"Take her away!"

Golden Cicada suddenly spoke, looking at Han Yu with a slight glint of familiarity.

He trusted this feeling, so he believed in Han Yu.

"No, let’s go together, Pharmacist, take him too."

Coconut cried out, tears streaming, her voice pleading in sorrow.

Golden Cicada looked at the attacking Dharma Aspect but broke free from Han Yu’s grasp, staggering up, as his battered body emitted golden light once more.
