Chapter 769 - 712: Calamity Across the Central Continent

Su Xiaoxiao had a peculiar expression that almost made Han Yu want to act.

"Do you suspect me too?"

Su Xiaoxiao could naturally see the change in Han Yu’s expression, and his face involuntarily turned grim.

He had noticed this since Mu Zili’s arrangements; Mu Zili certainly still doubted him.

"If I tell you I went there truly to comprehend something, do you believe it?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"It’s not about whether I believe it, is it?"

Han Yu’s expression was strange; even if he didn’t believe him, he might not dare to do anything to Su Xiaoxiao unless Su Xiaoxiao wanted to pull tricks again.

Whether Mu Zili and the others believe it is what matters; those old monsters are genuinely daring enough to kill.

Su Xiaoxiao bitterly lamented, "I always feel that senior brother looks at me with a strange gaze..."

Halfway through, he suddenly exclaimed, pointing at Han Yu.

"That’s the kind of look."

The look Han Yu gave was not much different from the strange gaze; only Mu Zili was somewhat subtle, unlike Han Yu’s blatant stare.

"That’s why I was asking you, what should we do when we encounter those from the Yama Hall later?"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a wry smile.

"You wouldn’t really sell me out, would you?"

Han Yu took a wary step back, keeping a distance of a yard. If there truly was any noise, he would immediately use Earth Escape to cover with mist.

As long as he was fast enough and didn’t get locked in by the aura, he could dodge as he did last time.

If Su Xiaoxiao went too far, he wouldn’t mind taking a fatal shot at him before leaving.

"See, you’re like this too; no wonder my senior brother also doubts me."

That’s the reason for Su Xiaoxiao’s complaint.

"Now I’m just praying not to run into them; otherwise, even if I had a mouth full of explanations, it would be useless."

If those old monsters suddenly showed up, it’s no wonder Mu Zili wouldn’t believe him. He himself wouldn’t believe that every time is such a coincidence.

Han Yu felt half doubt and half trust; for a moment, he couldn’t tell if Su Xiaoxiao was pretending or genuinely aggrieved.

Su Xiaoxiao saw he did not believe and could only give up helplessly, then opened his mouth to inhale.

A massive law aspect of a grey eagle began to faintly appear, and a suction force constantly rushed towards Han Yu as Su Xiaoxiao opened his mouth.

Han Yu’s expression changed, thinking Su Xiaoxiao wanted to make a move and was ready to unleash his law aspect when Su Xiaoxiao stopped.

Rather, it’s not that he stopped, but his law aspect shattered.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly explained, "I just wanted you to see the prototype of my law aspect; eventually, this might be my Tao seed, and I’ll start practicing on this path of law aspect."

But precisely because it’s just a prototype, he couldn’t handle it well, so he thought of observing other law aspects.

He had no idea it almost brought him fatal trouble.

"So, was that ridiculous reason true?"

Han Yu’s face was puzzled; such an absurd thing turned out not to be an excuse?

So this guy was just a step away from the goal; even though this step might still require a big leap, Su Xiaoxiao finally cultivated his law aspect.

"Should I believe him?"

Han Yu couldn’t help but ask the Artifact Spirit in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Artifact Spirit had an indifferent attitude, just like Han Yu himself said earlier, it didn’t matter if he believed it or not; what’s important is whether Mu Zili and the others believe it.

Moreover, on this outing, it’s keeping its guard up, and once there’s trouble, it will immediately let Han Yu use Earth Escape to hide.

"Regardless, whether you believe him or not, caution is still necessary, not just caution towards him but to the surroundings as well."

It said.

Han Yu found it reasonable too; now that Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t beat him, there’s nothing much to fear.

"By the way, how about discussing something with you?"

Han Yu suddenly grinned and leaned forward.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t used to this sudden change in style and continued to smile wryly at Han Yu.

"Don’t put on a sad face, it’s nothing major."

Han Yu spoke as he hooked Su Xiaoxiao’s shoulder, all smiles.

"How about we part ways after getting the stone? You return to your Southern Border, and I’ll... don’t worry about where I’m going."

Are you kidding me?

Su Xiaoxiao’s face showed his disbelief even though he didn’t curse.

"Hehe!"

He forced a smile, knowing that if Han Yu really left and he failed to bring him back, it would still be inexplicable no matter how many mouths he had.

"Don’t play me; even if I can’t beat you now, I have the means left by my senior brother to definitely take you down in the end."

Saying that, he took out several jade slips to demonstrate.

"You definitely can’t escape, or I won’t be able to explain."

"Is he bluffing me?"

Han Yu felt half-belief, puzzled if what Su Xiaoxiao held could really subdue him.

The Artifact Spirit’s expression suddenly changed, even though Han Yu couldn’t sense it, it could.

"Inside is Mu Zili’s law aspect power, and it’s quite potent."

How potent?

"Potent enough to knock you down."

The Artifact Spirit sighed as it looked upward in the Sea of Consciousness.

With five such items, it wasn’t sure if Su Xiaoxiao could kill Han Yu, but it’s enough to stall him.

But that’s not the most critical part. The most critical part is, if Su Xiaoxiao truly uses this power, who knows if it will attract people from the Celestial Dao Sect or Yama Hall.

"Should we think of another way?"

It’s not good to expose oneself too soon before reaching the final step.

If he really uses Su Xiaoxiao’s method and runs away, things will become hard to explain.

With the methods of Chang Gen’s group, if things are unclear, they’d have to kill him.

"Hurry up and go! Finish it early, so I can go back sooner to explain to my senior brother."

Su Xiaoxiao was already urging continuously. After opening a Celestial Chasm, she immediately pulled Han Yu and dived in.

New City in the Eastern Territory of the Central Continent.

Ling Wuce, for some unknown reason, had a constant feeling of unease. He repeatedly looked up at the sky but found nothing unusual.

It was just that his frequent glances upwards caused many other powerful figures of the Central Continent to occasionally look up as well.

"What’s going on?"

Xia Wuyou frowned and asked.

"I don’t know, I suddenly feel inexplicably flustered."

Ling Wuce shook his head to indicate.

"Aren’t the people from the Celestial Secret Tower here? Call them over to take a look."

Just as someone suggested this, Elder Tung Haohau from the Celestial Secret Tower and the Tower Master Su Xingxing arrived first.

Their complexions were extraordinarily grim. Upon getting close, they spoke in a deep voice.

"Something has happened!"

Su Xingxing raised his hand to point at the sky, his expression somber, and said anxiously, "For some reason, the Omen Star is shining brightly for everyone in the Eastern Territory."

"And above, it’s all a red glow."

Black is for disaster, red is for catastrophe.

Regarding these things, the Celestial Secret Tower has its own set of interpretations, and its reputation is well known, being a leader in the Divination Path in the Central Continent.

So, Su Xingxing’s words inevitably made everyone’s faces darken.

Yet, the matter was not over. Tung Haohau immediately followed up, his words even more shocking than Su Xingxing’s.

"The disciples of the Celestial Secret Tower who are outside sent messages back, saying that it’s the same all over the Central Continent."

This is truly frightening!

"Explain in detail."

At this moment, Quan Xiaotong, who had arrived upon hearing the news, happened to hear Tung Haohau’s words, and his expression changed instantly as he quickly spoke.

It’s not frightening if it’s just one place, but if the whole Central Continent is like this, then the matter is significant.

Tung Haohau gave a brief account of the situation.

First, they discovered the catastrophe aura over the Eastern Territory. Originally, this wasn’t considered an issue since the entire Central Continent was like this; it wouldn’t be normal if there wasn’t a catastrophe aura.

At worst, they could hide in the sea temporarily.

But then came Ji Wushi’s message, reporting that the catastrophe aura had suddenly appeared in places where disciples were located in the Southern and Northern Borders as well.

This issue was huge. A problem in one place differs significantly in meaning than problems in all places.

The two dared not delay and decided to report immediately.

Is Yama Hall going to act again!

After nearly two months, is Yama Hall ready to start slaughtering in the Central Continent again?

Quan Xiaotong was the first to look up at the void and muttered to himself, "For the souls?"

The function of the grand formation is no secret to the Central Continent, but this time, the catastrophe aura covers the entire Central Continent.

Are they really planning to use the entire Central Continent as a sacrifice?

"Old Ling, activate your Heavenly Eye and take a look."

Quan Xiaotong’s expression was ashen as he spoke solemnly.

Ling Wuce’s Divination Path eye is powerful, but it is also greatly restricted.

It cannot directly state results, only provide hints, and sometimes overly powerful predictions might even impact him.

But now, it seems there’s no choice.

Ling Wuce nodded and flew straight to the clouds. Upon opening the Divination Path eye, the bloody view almost swallowed him.

Especially in the phantoms, ghostly souls were menacingly engulfing him.

Not only him, but every familiar face in the vision was struggling amidst the ghostly souls.

What terrified him more was a group of cultivators focusing their attacks on the sea surface, where the Celestial Wave Crossing was hidden.

As he wanted to see further, suddenly Ling Wuce’s face changed, streams of blood-tears rolled down, covering his entire face at once.

The vision was about to vanish, and the last remaining illusion he could see was a mass of fierce fire burning vast swathes of the void coming to attack.

It was Han Yu!

All the illusions shattered like bubbles, just like him at this moment.

Thud!

A big mouthful of fresh blood was suddenly spat out, scaring everyone as their faces changed drastically.

Su Xingxing immediately spoke, "Retribution of cause and effect!"

What is retribution of cause and effect!

During the study of heavenly phenomena trajectories by the Celestial Secret Tower, any attempt to spy on the evolution of events will be met with retribution.

The severity of retribution varies, depending only on the magnitude of the impact.

But Ling Wuce looks like this; the retribution seems quite severe.

"Encounter disaster with the soul, reborn through fire."

After barely leaving these words, Ling Wuce spewed more fresh blood and immediately fainted.
