Chapter 974: Chapter 910: Do You Know Who I Saw?

“Damn it, kill Di Liuxin first; we can’t let him live.”

Han Yu spoke viciously.

He’s contemplating murder to silence witnesses; as long as Di Liuxin can’t survive, the matter will only be known in Central Continent.

The Artifact Spirit irritably knocked on his head, “Are you an idiot? Killing just Di Liuxin among so many people is pointless; he’s definitely not the only one who touched the rules.”

This matter cannot be kept under wraps.

Even if Han Yu wants to cover it, that Heavenly Dao bastard will definitely expose it.

Since it’s using Han Yu to drum up trouble, it must have plans to achieve its goals.

There’s no way the matter will remain hidden.

Han Yu’s face was extremely ugly. Heavenly Dao truly acts inhumanly, hiding away without assisting.

“Damn it, they’re using me as bait.”

Mu Zili seemed to have been paying attention all along, and after listening to the conversation between man and spirit, he sighed helplessly.

“Then you might want to pray for yourself more, and this might actually be good news.”

Han Yu and the Artifact Spirit were startled; could this really be good news?

Mu Zili’s voice slowly emanated from the token, seemingly pondering his words, and gradually spoke.

“If Heavenly Dao takes action, it means it has a plan and isn’t merely hiding; this is truly good news.”

The worst situation would be if Heavenly Dao was powerless to act; since it dares to make arrangements, it means it still has the strength to contend.

This may not be fair to Han Yu, but for Central Continent, it’s certainly great news.

The comment felt unsettling to both man and spirit, but upon reflection, it seemed valid.

Daring to fish implies one is strong enough.

“But being the bait is not easy.”

Han Yu couldn’t help but smile bitterly; they aren’t fishing for small fish now, but for massive ones that can swallow the heavens and earth in one bite.

If he’s not careful, the bait may vanish, and even the fishing rod could be dragged away.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Mu Zili could only offer that suggestion before hastily severing the connection.

Since there’s a backdoor in the rules for them to pass through, Mu Zili’s thoughts started to be more active.

He needed to quickly bring Chen Xixi to meet up with others, assisting the remaining people in acquiring rules as much as possible.

Later, this would definitely have a significant impact on the situation.

After retracting the token, a burst of Aurora shot out from Han Yu, immediately chasing after Di Liuxin’s soul.

He was still attempting to make deeper contact with the rules, the face that disgusted him appeared again unexpectedly, but then another, fresher face suddenly appeared before him.

Bastard!

If the soul could speak, he’d probably be cursing aloud.

It’s bad enough causing trouble within the rules; now he’s being pursued as well.

Just as anger flared, Di Liuxin suddenly became terrified, realizing this wasn’t a situation where he could easily crush the other and scare him away anymore.

Especially now that he’s in soul state; though he can still exert strength, the soul is fragile!

If considering this guy’s strength, a single hit could shatter his soul.

If that happened, he wouldn’t have a choice but to die.

Han Yu suddenly smiled, reached out a hand, and grabbed onto the opponent’s soul; with an abrupt tug on the rule’s swift motion, nearly tore a piece of his soul off due to the immense inertia.

Di Liuxin couldn’t make a sound, otherwise the pain alone would have made him scream.

Soul pain is incomparable to physical pain, an unimaginable agony.

It’s indescribable with words.

After grabbing the soul, the rule naturally was halted as well.

“Hold on, I’ll go retrieve the rule.”

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but try eagerly, rushing towards the light ball; just upon brief contact, a sudden burst of white light engulfed the surroundings.

Then…

There was no then.

Because the Artifact Spirit was directly kicked out.

Especially upon exiting, furiously questioning Han Yu, “Why did you kick me?”

“Do you want to hear what you’re saying?”

Han Yu had a strange expression; geez, the Artifact Spirit mistook the face for his, let alone others who would see it — explain that away even if he had mouths all over his body!

At the same time, Han Yu felt bizarre; does this indirectly prove the Artifact Spirit wasn’t Heavenly Dao either?

Probably so, given he’s used as bait; that’s absolutely not Heavenly Dao.

Looking at it now, Artifact Spirit clearly isn’t either.

But what concerns Han Yu more than ruling out the Artifact Spirit is that even it wasn’t allowed to touch the rule, which must have been Heavenly Dao’s intention.

Thus, not only can the Artifact Spirit be excluded from Heavenly Dao identity, but also from the identity of rule supporter.

Wise guess suggests with so many rules, mere cultivators couldn’t entirely seize them, there must be countermeasures nearby Han Yu.

If not the Artifact Spirit, then…

Han Yu couldn’t help but glance towards the Sea of Consciousness, suddenly speaking to the inside.

“Ping, hurry out to take the rule.”

Contrary to the envisioned scene, Han Yu thought Ping would act, but there wasn’t a hint of movement.

The Artifact Spirit seemed to have come to his senses, suggesting, “Try bringing the rule back to the Sea of Consciousness world.”

All along, whenever Ping wants to absorb something, it uses Han Yu’s body as a medium.

Really reaching out to touch the rule, unlike others, the rule under Han Yu’s contact actually…

…

The upheaval within the rule had already spread among the two camps.

Not only were Central Continent forces aware, Jiang Xinyuan and his group were also observant.

The widespread presence of Celestial Dao Sect cultivators canvassing the area doesn’t ensure easy capture, but some lucky cultivators indeed managed to discover the rule’s hiding place through the Heart Mirror Illusion Realm.

For example, one rule was hiding within the river.

The trio arrived, slightly frowning.

But not surprised.

Only because there were over twenty floating corpses in that river; it’s clear these Walking the Dao cultivators attempted ill-conceived plans.

Wuxian coldly glanced at the river; he certainly wasn’t mourning the fools’ deaths; with power only accessible by Divine Dao Realm, daring to touch it was asking for death.

He considered how continued searching could cost countless cultivator lives.

Individual fools’ deaths don’t worry him, but if losses are too significant, Four Extremes Hall may lack usable agents.

“Send word: touching rules below Divine Dao Realm leads to death.”

“What meaning does Heavenly Dao’s move have?”

Shang Wanfeng grimaced confusedly, unable to fathom the value in expending these small cultivators.

The ultimate outcome is certainly Heavenly Dao facing off against those two individuals; they’d be mere cheerleaders at best, potentially not even able to watch.

Thus, Heavenly Dao shouldn’t be targeting them directly.

“Isn’t it simple to find out? Touch the rule below and see what’s going on.”

Wuxian coldly spoke towards the river.

He’s resolved to see for himself; knowing what happens allows him to plan accordingly.

Shang Wanfeng and Jiang Xinyuan had already encircled his physical form, allowing him to enter the Heart Mirror Illusion Realm.

Simultaneously, light flickered across the river, a beam slowly approached, while Wuxian’s physical form gradually released a soul.

As they drew close, Wuxian’s soul reached out to touch, and in the next moment, amidst radiance, the rule tried to abduct the soul like before.

Prepared, Jiang Xinyuan and Shang Wanfeng acted together, trapping the rule with Wuxian’s returning physical form.

Identical to Jiu You’s situation, the rule refused confinement, repeatedly seeking escape, unwilling to release Wuxian’s soul.

However, Wuxian remained calm, attempting to delve deeper into the rule.

Momentarily his soul immersed in reflection.

A similarly bizarre face appeared in the Illusion Realm, startling Wuxian into exiting, swiftly disengaging from the rule and returning to his physical form.

“What’s going on?”

Both men looked puzzled; he was nearly finished, why retreat?

Wuxian’s expression was strange and indeed complicated.

Who can remain calm after witnessing that face inside?

“You know who I saw in there?”
