Chapter 770 - 713: Would I Joke About My Life with You?

"Why is it you again?"

When Liu Zongyuan saw Han Yu, his face immediately dropped. It had only been a few days, and this guy was back again.

He really thought this place was his territory, coming every few days.

He himself could only hole up here; the place was so small that just taking a few steps would cover all of it.

"Sir!"

Wang Xingzhi, with keen eyes, immediately greeted Su Xiaoxiao, who was behind Han Yu.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at everyone and nodded slightly.

"You all shouldn’t complain. The situation in Central Continent isn’t good. Being here is not worse than being outside."

Here was also where Su Xiaoxiao, out of a private motive, kept these people.

After all, after thousands of years, he had only a few subordinates left like kittens, if they all died, he would have no followers.

Wang Xingzhi could understand Su Xiaoxiao’s intentions. Numerous cultivators in the Walking Realm had emerged from here, and for them, mixing in with just their Initial Realm cultivators would provide nothing more than cannon fodder.

"Wait for me!"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Han Yu and then went up to the peak.

After leaving Han Yu alone, Liu Zongyuan couldn’t resist his loneliness and came to chat.

"Any new developments outside?"

They had been staying in this small world, only aware of some basic movements of the Celestial Dao Sect.

They didn’t even know when powerful cultivators from the Celestial Dao Sect would descend.

Han Yu simply recounted what he had seen, mentioning the members of the Celestial Dao Sect and the Yama Hall.

Liu Zongyuan was left wanting more and couldn’t help but ask several times.

"Why didn’t you mention this last time?"

Han Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "You didn’t ask last time!"

However, he then briefly described the current situation in Central Continent again. This time, Liu Zongyuan understood why Su Xiaoxiao didn’t let them leave the Endless Sea Domain.

"Isn’t the whole Central Continent turning into a slaughterhouse?"

Liu Zongyuan couldn’t help but be shocked, especially after hearing about the several great battles between the two sides, making him even more fearful.

With just the twelve of them, they wouldn’t even make a dent if they went in.

Then Liu Zongyuan curiously asked, "What is your strength now?"

Han Yu had surpassed him long ago, which he already knew, roughly from the time when he encountered the soul division, and again shortly after he encountered the soul division the second time.

Later, he saw with his own eyes that Han Yu could chase and beat a group of Initial Realm cultivators.

So, now, after nearly two months, was this monstrosity even stronger?

Absolutely!

When he first entered the small Heavenly Domain, this guy walked directly in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

Moreover, their relationship seemed somewhat subtle, unlike before... Before, Han Yu seemed unrestrained, but still somewhat reserved.

Of course, more importantly, Liu Zongyuan had this inexplicable confidence in Han Yu.

It was quite ridiculous that he held such expectations for a little indigenous person from Central Continent.

Perhaps just wanting to see how far this guy could advance.

Han Yu grinned, finally asked about something he liked.

"No problem for me to beat a hundred Walking Dao cultivators now."

All the acquaintances present took a sharp breath, and Liu Zongyuan even experienced a toothache, could he already beat Walking Dao cultivators? Or a group of them?

However, thinking back to Han Yu’s path to rising, it seemed that as long as this guy could beat opponents of the same realm, soon, he could beat a bunch.

Wang Xingzhi on the side shook his head with a sigh, having cultivated for thousands of years, yet not even as good as a native.

"Don’t compare with him."

A helpless voice rang out; it was Su Xiaoxiao returning with a box.

Having heard Han Yu’s words too, he felt troubled, not daring to regard himself as a senior for quite some time now.

Perhaps it was when Han Yu obtained the Inquiry Stone from the Wandering Spirit Daoist to rescue them.

Afterward, Han Yu’s performance became increasingly abstract; first, he grew stronger than him and then experienced a cliff-like leap, now able to beat a whole group.

If compared truly, he felt even worse than Liu Zongyuan.

Being surpassed as an Initial Realm cultivator might not be noteworthy, but being quickly surpassed as a Walking Dao cultivator was truly disheartening.

"Don’t compare with him; he’s different."

Su Xiaoxiao said as though consoling himself to Liu Zongyuan and others.

But as for where he was different, he couldn’t say.

Couldn’t say this guy was someone their Celestial Dao Sect had left in Central Continent, right?

Maybe because of this, Han Yu’s cultivation path differed from others, even his cultivation speed was different.

Anyway, Su Xiaoxiao just comforted himself like this; after all, if Han Yu was still mediocre, given the layouts of the Celestial Dao Sect, it would indeed be outrageous.

"Look, your stuff."

Su Xiaoxiao helplessly patted the box and handed it over; Han Yu, delighted, grabbed it and carried it on his back.

"Things are settled, let’s quickly head back."

Seeing Han Yu had what he wanted and settling his debts and trades with Mu Zili, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to head back as soon as possible.

The journey over had been uneventful, and he hoped the return would be the same.

However, just as he was beginning to have this thought, the little cave was suddenly opened.

A group of a hundred cultivators burst in in a disheveled state. Upon seeing Su Xiaoxiao, one of them hurried out to speak.

"Sir, there’s been a change in the Endless Sea Domain!"

Damn!

Su Xiaoxiao’s face instantly turned ashen. Can’t it wait until after I’ve left?

"What happened?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked coldly.

The cultivator hurriedly explained, "We ran into a team from the Yama Hall heading for the Central Continent outside. There was a brief skirmish, but they had too many people. We barely escaped back here."

"They also have a Divine Dao Realm cultivator!"

Damn!

Upon hearing about the Divine Dao Realm, Su Xiaoxiao felt uneasy all over. No way, if they run into them head-on, both he and Han Yu would be doomed.

Bastard, can’t I just return home peacefully?

What is the Yama Hall trying to pull now?

New City, Eastern Territory.

Ling Wuce said something incoherent and then fainted.

Encounter a soul and disaster follows, turn to fire and be reborn.

A group of people stood together, lost in thought. This riddle was so cryptic, leaving everything to guesswork really couldn’t clarify the situation.

"Why don’t we wake him and ask?"

Someone couldn’t help but speak, but was stopped by Su Xingxing.

"It could kill him!"

Su Xingxing had heard of the side effects of Ling Wuce’s pills. Considering that the Celestial Secret Tower is a master of the Divination Path, and he is the current Tower Master, it’s unlikely anyone present knows more about such side effects than him.

When he learned Ling Wuce obtained these pills, he nearly slapped his own thigh to pieces.

Giving them to Ling Wuce was a waste. If it had been him, he could have done more with them than Ling Wuce ever could.

He wouldn’t have resulted in merely these kinds of hints.

Quan Xiaotong furrowed his brows and immediately gave the first order: all cultivators were to enter the Celestial Wave Crossing and head to the sea.

Given Su Xingxing’s prediction from the Celestial Secret Tower and Ling Wuce’s backlash, it was clear that a great disaster was bound to occur in the Central Continent.

As for Ling Wuce’s words, he still couldn’t figure out what "soul" referred to. However, when it came to "fire," a certain figure inexplicably came to mind.

"The fire should be Han Yu!"

According to Ling Wuce’s hint, trouble is sure to start in the Eastern Territory first, and it’s easy to associate the fire representing survival with Han Yu.

"The key is, we don’t even know where Han Yu is now."

Xia Wuyou shook his head. Since Han Yu was taken away by that old daoist, all traces were lost.

He’s most likely in the Southern Border.

"We don’t know if we can hold out."

Bian Renjie shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew the Central Continent couldn’t rely on just one person, but it’s the only one it can count on!

While the people of Central Continent were in a state of worry, the sky suddenly darkened!

Looking up, the clear blue sky was overwhelmed by a dark and sinister domain!

Shadows spread continuously, writhing madly like ghostly souls.

And that wasn’t all; countless streams of light converged on one spot, nearly a thousand of them in the blink of an eye.

Li Yingqi looked down, as if observing ants, at the people of the Central Continent below...

"You’re not planning to leave?"

Han Yu, carrying a box, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao with a strange look.

He had taken his things and naturally intended to quickly find a place to digest them, but Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t leaving.

"Didn’t you hear there’s a Divine Dao Realm cultivator with a bunch of cultivators heading to the Central Continent? What if we run into them?"

"Then I’ll leave myself!"

Han Yu chuckled instantly. If Su Xiaoxiao didn’t leave, he would.

As long as he was careful and didn’t act recklessly, he should be quite safe.

But to his surprise, Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"No way, if something happens to you, I’ll really be suspected of betraying you. Let’s wait here for three to five days before heading back. That’s the safest."

"That won’t do, I want to leave."

Han Yu shook his head as well. To him, avoiding detection wasn’t difficult. Why waste time here?

"No way, you’re putting me in a risky situation here!"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t agree either. If something happened to Han Yu, he wouldn’t have an easy time either. This was just as dangerous for him.

Finally, Han Yu decided to compromise a little, "Then let me sneak you back. You know my skills in concealment."

"I’m a proper cultivator. I trust you can hide yourself, but my spiritual power can easily be detected."

Su Xiaoxiao replied half-believingly.

"Do you think I would risk my life joking with you?"

Han Yu, with a touch of annoyance, glanced at him. Wasn’t it him who intervened last time, allowing both of them to escape unscathed?
