Chapter 973: Chapter 909: The Heavenly Dao the Schemer

At this moment, Han Yu was also wandering around the Central Continent, but what he wanted to find was Jiu You or Di Liuxin and their group.

“Look, only those in the Divine Dao Realm can collect the rules, so if I kill off this whole bunch, it’s more straightforward.”

Han Yu was discussing his thoughts with the Artifact Spirit above his head.

This… doesn’t seem wrong either.

If both sides are wiped out, surely the two Celestial Beings wouldn’t personally scour the Central Continent for rules everywhere?

How embarrassing!

Central Continent is responsible for finding the rules; he might as well be responsible for chopping down the group on the other side.

While these people are out and unprotected by the sacred artifacts.

No matter how powerful a Celestial Being is, they can’t possibly act across the world on the entire Central Continent, right!

If that’s really the case, then there’s no point in resisting; those two would be on par with the Heavenly Dao, so why bother fighting?

“What about the rules?”

The Artifact Spirit hadn’t forgotten its ambition to wield three thousand rules and sweep everything.

Han Yu thought about it and comforted, “Once the people are dead, you can take your time collecting the three thousand rules.”

The Artifact Spirit thought for a moment and realized it might actually work.

If they slay all these Divine Dao Realm cultivators, only the Central Continent crew would be left to slowly find rules for it.

Fairly delightful.

The very thought of it made him a bit excited.

“Let’s go, let’s go, first find a Divine Dao Realm to chop down, and by the way, collect some strength with the West River Slash.”

The Artifact Spirit urged. Currently, the West River Slash hadn’t been used on a cultivator, so it was eager to see its effect.

Life force is useless to it, but spiritual power, it wasn’t sure.

If it’s useful, it might become incredibly powerful in a short while.

Both man and spirit shared the same thought; if possible, the Artifact Spirit could become Han Yu’s greatest ally.

…

Di Liuxin was about to go mad; the rule wouldn’t give him a chance to break free, and relying on his distant soul to control the body, he couldn’t fully unleash his power.

He could only follow from afar.

In such a chase, Di Liuxin didn’t even have a chance to help himself.

He truly regretted not calling the other few; at most, he might not have gotten the rule first, but that was better than losing his soul.

“Damn it!”

This couldn’t go on, Di Liuxin gritted his teeth suddenly.

If his soul remained outside for too long, even as a Divine Dao Realm powerhouse, he could die just the same.

Rather than wait to die, it was better to try taking control of the rule now.

With this thought, his soul ceased its struggle and instead smashed towards the rule fiercely.

With a muffled sound, a white light flashed.

A face flashed before his soul’s eyes, and just as Di Liuxin gritted his teeth, he was kicked out again.

“It’s this bastard again, why is he everywhere!”

Di Liuxin was enraged to the point of wanting to eat someone.

“Don’t let me run into him…”

He wanted to make a tough declaration, but then realized that he might not be a match for that guy anymore.

Even if they did meet, he’d probably have to flee.

“Look over there, there’s a soul flying.”

Elsewhere, the Artifact Spirit suddenly patted Han Yu’s head forcefully, pointing ahead and shouting.

These days, cultivators flying everywhere wasn’t strange.

But souls flying around, that’s quite absurd.

The man and spirit couldn’t help but chase for a while, then exchanged glances.

Damn, it was an old acquaintance.

And whatever was tainting the soul gave off a distinctly unique aura.

“A rule?”

Han Yu immediately associated it; the only reason Di Liuxin would be running around must be for a rule.

But what’s up with this peculiar scene?

“It looks like his soul might be held hostage by the rule.”

The Artifact Spirit burst into laughter; it was clear as day, the rule was flying ahead, dragging the soul with it, unless Di Liuxin was crazy, he wouldn’t dare let his soul stay outside.

He must have no choice.

Han Yu was stunned; he immediately thought there might be a major trap with the rule.

You have to know, it’s not just two parties competing; the Central Continent’s involved too.

“Use the token to inform the Central Continent to be cautious because there’s a certain danger in touching the rules.”

Han Yu hastily instructed the Artifact Spirit.

The Artifact Spirit rushed back to the Sea of Consciousness, and in the next moment, came out with a peculiar expression.

Seeing this expression, Han Yu’s heart skipped a beat, thinking something might have already gone wrong.

The Artifact Spirit’s expression twisted strangely, and after lying back on Han Yu’s head, it raised the token.

“You guys talk to that guy yourselves!”

Seemingly communicating with the token.

Soon, voices began to transmit gradually.

“Dangerous? Didn’t notice anything; I’ve already successfully obtained one.”

This was Mu Zili’s voice, sounding as relaxed and reliable as ever.

“Hee hee, there’s no risk; I just went in, said hello, and got it!”

No need to say, from that irreverent tone, Han Yu knew it was Chen Xixi.

The voice could change, but the bad behavior couldn’t.

That was odd; the two from the Central Continent who obtained rules said there was no issue, so why was Di Liuxin in trouble?

“Wasn’t it you who opened the back door? I saw your smug face while perceiving the rules.”

Chen Xixi’s voice came again.

A moment later, Mu Zili’s voice also came through, “I was focused on understanding, only noticed a fleeting image; if that’s the case, it was probably your face.”

Of course, Mu Zili delved deeper into the issue, trying to understand why Han Yu had warned them to be careful.

The Artifact Spirit held the token and recounted what had been seen.

Such an odd occurrence was indeed baffling; neither Chen Xixi nor Mu Zili were anywhere close to Di Liuxin in power.

Yet they were fine, while Di Liuxin ended up with his soul flying.

If there’s no issue within, that’d be impossible.

“Han Yu’s face appearing within can’t be a coincidence, so is it possible that the rule is only dangerous to outsiders?”

Mu Zili quickly deduced.

Furthermore, he thought more deeply about how the rule could determine who’s an insider, implying an orchestrator behind the scenes who knew exactly who was from the Central Continent camp.

Excluding the possibility of tampering by Han Yu, it could only be the old sage or the Heavenly Dao.

Since the old sage had been helpless before, it was likely the Heavenly Dao.

“It seems the Heavenly Dao, while lying dormant, is also closely watching the Central Continent in some manner!”

That’s the conclusion Mu Zili arrived at.

But one thing he couldn’t understand was the potential trouble caused by Han Yu’s face appearing within the rules.

The Artifact Spirit had realized.

“What the hell, the damn Heavenly Dao uses your face to stir things up; if this gets out, those two Celestial Beings might mistake you for the Heavenly Dao and kill you.”

Its expression was quite grim, feeling that the Heavenly Dao’s move was rather treacherous.

Making you work yet still causing trouble!

Even swapping to a different face to cause trouble would be better!

Han Yu’s expression darkened; what the Artifact Spirit figured out, he obviously understood too.

Now that both parties were actively collecting rules, Di Liuxin surely wasn’t the first to have witnessed his face within the rules.

This could indeed lead to a massive misunderstanding.

At that time, the Celestial Beings might really clean him up thinking he’s the Heavenly Dao.

The thought itself was terrifying; if only Di Liuxin’s group came looking for trouble, that wouldn’t be a worry, but if the Celestial Beings found out, they might come down to seek him.

Facing just one he couldn’t handle, let alone both.

“Damn it, once this is settled, we’re going to topple the Heavenly Dao, really can’t stand its bullshit.”
