Chapter 959 - 895: 3,000 Rules

"Do you know the rules on you?"

The old sage looked at Han Yu with a solemn expression.

This Han Yu naturally knew, it was the West River Slash!

"The Artifact Spirit told me, that is the power of plunder!"

Finishing his sentence, his expression turned peculiar, could it be that his rule wasn’t effective?

About this, the old sage really didn’t dare to say it wasn’t effective, Han Yu’s use had already exceeded his expectations, to the extent that it could even enlighten an old fellow like him.

So naturally, he wasn’t talking about that.

"Then what about the things you plundered?"

The old sage suddenly countered.

Han Yu was immediately stunned, oh right! He had used the West River Slash so many times, the plundered targets all turned to nothing, and he didn’t gain a single thing.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about this, but previously the West River Slash was indeed somewhat lackluster, its feeble power was not suitable to confront enemies.

Only recently had Jiang Xinyuan mistakenly managed to "revive" the West River Slash.

Now, the West River Slash was indeed far superior to before.

Thinking of this, Han Yu couldn’t help but smile, "So does that mean I can plunder everything from others now?"

Nothing can be as delightful as getting something for nothing.

"Stop dreaming!"

The old sage couldn’t help but roll his eyes, he knew this guy was about to go down that path again.

"Have you heard the saying, ’If Heaven wants to take it, it must first give’?"

Seeing Han Yu’s confusion, he knew, this guy’s ability to use the West River Slash effectively was absolutely only because his fighting talent was too high, with no real understanding of the rules.

This guy was completely an anomaly.

Heavenly Dao is also an anomaly, it dared to gratuitously give such a terrifying ability, yet the two anomalies indeed produced a different effect.

"It’s also fortunate that you don’t understand, otherwise you would be gone already."

The old sage sighed suddenly.

At this moment, Han Yu already had a solemn expression, clearly understanding that the old sage was about to reveal something substantial again.

"I can enhance the power of your rule, but you need to consider, once I help fully awaken the West River Slash, it might not be used so recklessly as it is now."

The old sage looked at him with bright eyes, with Han Yu’s current West River Slash paired with Divine Techniques, it was also quite an effective method.

But after all, the rule has not been awakened, its power indeed was a bit lacking.

However, it won in being used without concern.

Therefore, he needed Han Yu to consider clearly whether to maintain the status quo or let him help fully awaken the West River Slash.

Han Yu furrowed his brows in deep thought, not rushing to make a decision, but rather wanting to first understand the difference between the two.

"What exactly are the changes?"

The old sage gestured with his fingers, if the first option was to maintain the status quo, Han Yu’s rule, although not powerful, was flexible and without any concerns.

As for the second option...

...

The Western Territory camp was already collapsing amidst the battle.

Upon arrival, Wuxian began fighting without saying a word.

As four gigantic Dharma Aspects charged in, Yin Weng simultaneously led people to counterattack.

He seemed to have already foreseen their arrival this time.

From this, it appeared that the Celestial Dao Sect indeed suffered not a small loss, seeing a few people’s imposing demeanors, Wuxian couldn’t help but laugh.

"Yin Weng, today I shall annihilate your Western Territory camp."

As Wuxian struck, faster than lightning, the Dharma Aspect advanced first, and with a hand forming a seal, a vast pressure descended from the sky, intending to pin it down fiercely.

This power came mysteriously, Wujiu and Jiu You were the first to feel its pressure, and almost without any warning, the force directly pushed them down.

The two wanted to fly back up, but found their movements increasingly sluggish.

Their expressions changed dramatically, a rule!

Only a rule could easily subdue them.

"Suppression!"

Yin Weng merely glanced and saw the type of rule the opponent had mastered, coldly smiled, and also made a move.

Another invisible force similarly pressed towards the opponent, when the two rules’ powers collided, it caused the void to continuously distort.

The next moment, Wuxian’s expression turned ugly, he had lost.

Only because the opponent’s rule was one step stronger.

Decline!

"Did you take away the rule of decline?"

What pained Wuxian the most wasn’t that the opponent’s rule was one step stronger, but that the opponent could completely master a rule.

What does this mean? It means the opponent was generous enough to give a whole rule away.

And he only received a part of it.

For a moment, a mix of feelings welled up in his heart.

Yin Weng wiped towards the ground, and the power of decline simultaneously devoured the rule covering Jiuyou and the others, instantly relieving their pressure, and they immediately flew back up beside Yin Weng.

Seeing this, Yin Weng smiled fully, "Is your side so stingy?"

This statement made the expressions of the four on the opposite side darken considerably.

"Even if you are alone, we four can still kill you."

Wuxian spoke coldly.

"But there surely will be someone among you to go down with me, and I choose you."

Yin Mo always had a smile on his face, even when faced with the killing intent of the four, his expression remained unchanged.

He pointed at Wuxian, then pointed at Shang Wanfeng.

"One life for both of you, quite a bargain."

Exchanging one for two, indeed a bargain.

Thus, the four from the Celestial Dao Sect ceased their actions, they hadn’t expected such an ending after coming with such momentum.

The change in Yin Mo was unexpected. As the first Hall, his strength was undeniable, but the biggest change was the rules themselves.

To think that one from the Yama Hall had actually given away one of the three rules, didn’t that mean they only had two rules left?

Thinking of this, Wuxian was stirred, this matter was indeed quite important.

He needed to inform his master about this as soon as possible.

The one who was missing a rule probably wouldn’t be a match for his master.

Yin Mo seemed to have seen through the other’s thoughts, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Didn’t my martial uncle tell you that on the land of Central Continent, there are three thousand scattered rules?"

It seemed that Di Liuxin and the others really didn’t know, so when Yin Mo told them, the four were visibly stunned.

Their first reaction was disbelief.

But Yin Mo had clearly already mastered one rule, it didn’t seem fake. That person wouldn’t recklessly give up a rule for no reason.

"Are you serious?"

After restraining his aura, Wuxian’s face was cold as he kept scrutinizing the other, as if trying to find the slightest flaw.

But Yin Mo’s always smiling face did not change, making it impossible to see through any clues.

So he could only try to tackle the problem itself, which was the most essential question, "Why are you telling us this?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, unusually serious.

However, his words caused the four’s faces to darken, "Naturally, it’s because I can tell you four unlucky guys would definitely be tempted. While you search the entire Central Continent for rules, you might just force the Heavenly Dao out."

After a pause in his speech, he mockingly continued, "My master told me to find a way to find the Heavenly Dao, I think this method is quite good—sit and wait for you to help me."

This was indeed quite insulting, using them as tools in a roundabout way.

"Old Two, what do we do when this bastard is even more insidious than you?"

Di Liuxin secretly leaned towards Shang Wanfeng, unable to resist muttering.

He noticed it, both the first and second in command were outsmarted by this guy.

But despite noticing, he had no solution! Of the four, he was the weakest, intelligence alone was not enough!

"Shut up, if you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute!"

The self-righteous Di Liuxin was met with a cold glance from Shang Wanfeng in the next second. This fool could see it, so couldn’t they themselves see it.

Seeing it but not saying it, yet he had to point it out.

Wuxian’s expression finally showed a change; after hesitating, he suddenly turned around.

In fact, it’s not difficult to verify, just ask the master.

The four were about to escape far away, but midway they were stopped by Yin Mo.

"No need to rush, what’s the hurry to leave?"

The four turned simultaneously, their Dharma Aspects flaring up.

"You still want to fight?"

Wuxian’s face was stern, if the opponent really wanted to keep them, he wouldn’t mind having a good fight.

Yin Mo shrugged and laughed strangely, "Just want you to convey a message, no need to be so tense, right!"

Wuxian looked at him coldly, asking in a chilling voice, "What do you want to say."

"It’s nothing major, you know that little fellow set up by the Heavenly Dao? Please tell my martial uncle, the Qi Fortune sealing two small worlds was intentionally left for him by the Heavenly Dao, remember to lock your doors at home!"

Yin Mo beamed with a smile, directly outing Han Yu in his words.

"So, you previously helped that kid with Qi Fortune?"

Not mentioning this was fine, but once mentioned, it made the four’s expressions even more sullen.

The inhuman thing actually cast the troublemaker onto their side.

However, they quickly grasped the key point from his words.

"I guess you probably won’t kill him, just enough to disgust you a bit."

With Yin Mo’s strange laughter echoing, the four turned away with ugly expressions and left.

Until the Western Territory returned to calm, Jiu You looked at Yin Mo with admiration.

To see through and handle the four so easily, the methods of the first Hall were indeed extraordinary.

There was only one thing he was particularly curious about, so he asked immediately.

"Why are you so sure Han Yu didn’t die there?"

Yin Mo gave a mysterious smile and looked up at the sky, "Because the Heavenly Dao is still dormant, since it’s so calm, what could be hard to guess."

Jiu You pondered, indeed it made sense.

Then, his expression also became somewhat peculiar, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Are you thinking about the three thousand rules of Central Continent?"

Yin Mo didn’t even need him to speak, he already saw through his little scheme.

Naturally, he wanted to get them.

He wasn’t like the few from the Celestial Dao Sect, who in name were still the named disciples of Celestial Beings, able to gain part of the rule’s power. Nor like his own first Hall, a disciple of that person, for whom complete rules were at hand.

Who wouldn’t want to possess powerful strength? Just seeing how Jiang Xinyuan could intimidate him and Wuxian could easily manipulate him, showed how terrifying the power of the rules was.

It was hard for him to resist such temptation, not just hard to resist, as Yin Mo spoke, Wujiu also approached with a moved expression.

"If you want it, go find it yourself, three thousand rules so many, Yama Hall isn’t as tight-fisted as the Celestial Dao Sect, no one will stop you."

Yin Mo’s sinister laughter continued...
