Chapter 804 747: Intricate and Complicated

Han Yu, speaking to himself towards the end, couldn't help but pause.

Is there really an issue with Yi Xian knowing these runes?

"It can't be, can it? Didn't he say that these were seen in the Divination Path books?"

The Artifact Spirit thought for a moment, recalling that Yi Xian seemed to say it like that before.

"Are you suspecting that Yi Xian is actually the one Celestial Dao Sect planted in the Central Continent?"

Upon saying this, even the Artifact Spirit felt that Han Yu was a bit unfounded.

After all, from every standpoint, Yi Xian was far too ordinary.

So ordinary that there's nothing remarkable to find.

In terms of talent, Yi Xian's cultivation speed was far inferior to Mo Xiuwen or even ordinary people. Although his cultivation technique had never been closely observed, it did not carry any trace of the Celestial Dao Sect.

As for strength, uh...

Yi Xian seemed to be in distress every time they met; how could there be any strength to speak of?

How could such a person possibly be from Celestial Dao Sect?

Could it be that the high ranks of Celestial Dao Sect had all their brains kicked by a donkey?

"I might as well believe it's you; that would be more convincing."

Artifact Spirit spoke, after all, Han Yu's performance was outstanding in every aspect.

Both in terms of combat power and achievements.

Only the reverse slaying of the Divine Dao was shocking enough; such would satisfy the imagination of a carefully arranged scheme by a faction.

Though Han Yu was certainly not.

Han Yu pursed his lips, quietly engraving each rune into the Five Elements World of his Sea of Consciousness.

"If you want to know, it's not hard; the Eastern Territory has ready Divination Path experts."

Su Xingxing, as a representative of the Divination Path, hardly anyone could dispute.

If even Su Xingxing and the others couldn't understand these runes, then Yi Xian's identity could be confirmed, wouldn't it?

Whether Yi Xian is from Celestial Dao Sect is just an ancillary question.

Currently, what puzzled Han Yu the most was why the runic methods of the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall were so similar?

If he remembered that rune correctly, it had the same meaning, forbidden!

Since there's one here, it's unreasonable that there aren't others elsewhere.

Han Yu deliberately walked where there were stone pillars, intentionally glancing at the inscriptions above.

Almost every stone pillar had runes that felt familiar to Han Yu.

And these stone pillars...

Han Yu counted meticulously, a total of eighty-one on this stone platform.

"What are you looking for?"

While Han Yu was still pondering, a voice suddenly echoed from behind, neither urgent nor slack, startling him instantly, only to find it was Mu Zili.

Mu Zili looked at Han Yu with great interest, even though Han Yu was disguised so well, the amount of time he spent on the stone pillars was excessive.

"Are you looking at the stone pillars?"

Mu Zili smiled subtly, walked to the side, and scrutinized a stone pillar as well.

"I can't understand them; can you?"

At that moment, Han Yu's heart was almost tumultuous!

Mu Zili can't understand them?

Does that mean there's no need to ask Su Xingxing?

"Tell me, what did you understand?"

Mu Zili noticed Han Yu's change in demeanor, his expression shifting accordingly as he slowly smiled.

Although he didn't know what Han Yu might have understood, he knew this young fellow certainly recognized the stone pillars.

Han Yu's expression changed, then quickly adjusted, hurrying to say, "I didn't understand anything."

Setting aside Yi Xian's matters, the similarity in methods between the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall would likely be a secret to the Celestial Dao Sect.

If he spoke out, Mu Zili would probably kill him on the spot.

A faint pressure bore down on Han Yu, tinged with a trace of malice, constantly striking his physical body.

Mu Zili frowned slightly, exerting his methods, the pressure increasing profoundly.

As for Han Yu, while initially frightened, he found it was merely energy and remained motionless as the energy continued to strike.

After a mere moment, Mu Zili reluctantly withdrew the energy.

"Your physical body is indeed unique."

Indeed, Mu Zili was unable to deal with him unless he truly acted.

But Mu Zili was unwilling to act and could not act.

If the arrangement here was triggered, who could predict what might transpire?

Regressing to more suitable alternatives, Mu Zili shook his head helplessly and whispered softly.

"You should know our current situation."

No need to make it too clear; for this overseas journey, Mu Zili was playing the part of a pawn.

While Han Yu might end up as cannon fodder.

Neither of them would fare well.

"If you understand, you might as well tell me; here, I'll promise to protect you as best I can."

This already counted as a promise from Mu Zili.

"Really?"

Han Yu skeptically asked in a questioning tone.

"You should know what sort of person I am."

Mu Zili shot him a glance and sighed.

Cold, composed, a fool...

Various impressions of Mu Zili flashed through Han Yu's mind, but when it came to credibility, there was really no argument.

"So, will you speak?"

The Artifact Spirit asked within the Sea of Consciousness. When Han Yu mentioned the resemblance to the Earth Palace's runes, it instinctively felt this was not a good place.

"I'll speak, but let's keep Yi Xian's matter concealed for now."

Han Yu made the decision immediately.

Both leaned in, and Han Yu opened his mouth with a sly expression.

"In the Earth Palace of Yama Hall, I saw runes identical to yours on the stone pillars."

Mu Zili's face instantly changed dramatically, almost shocked as he looked up to stare closely at Han Yu.

"Are you sure?"

Han Yu nodded with certainty, "I've entered several of Yama Hall's Earth Palaces; they were so distinctive that they left a deep impression. Some runes I can confirm are the same."

For a moment, a tumult arose in Mu Zili's heart; he could undoubtedly imagine what Han Yu was thinking.

And he thought further!

If the runes are from the same source, then the relationship between the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall may not be so simple?

"This must absolutely, positively not be spoken further."

"Not even to Chang Gen and them."

The next moment, Mu Zili already advised with a grim expression.

Even he didn't know these things—precisely because he didn't know, Mu Zili could ascertain it was unquestionably a secret belonging only to the four halls.

Perhaps Han Yu's lightweight comment might suffice to make Chang Gen and them kill for it.

At that moment, Mu Zili was unable to calm down, that seemingly calm and breezy face turned into one of complex silence.

Han Yu naturally wouldn't speak out; once that information is disclosed, it doesn't take much thought to know it would cause great trouble.

"I never thought you'd find this place before me."

In the quiet, an unexpectedly sinister voice rang out.

Outside the stone platform, a menacing man slowly dispelled the isolated power before stepping inside.

Lu Yuan!

After exchanging a swift glance, Mu Zili resumed his calm demeanor and spoke.

"Elder Lu."

Lu Yuan stared at them for a while, seemingly trying to see through them, but upon being unable to achieve this, he slightly nodded.

"The following matters are left for me to arrange."

The words were decisive, with a tone leaving no room for refusal.

Soon after, a heap of cultivators walking the Dao continuously streamed in, took positions, and there was already a guard outside the four halls.

But outside the stone platform, there were even more cultivators.

This time, exactly how many cultivators did the Celestial Dao Sect send, Han Yu felt his eyelid twitch; seeing the overwhelming numbers, he inexplicably felt uneasy.

The more people there are, the more significant the matter.

With so many people here to activate a setup, it's almost akin to that in Yama Hall?

And the difference is, this time he's directly involved.

Lu Yuan greeted him and Mu Zili with that signature knowing smile, "Follow me."

With these words, he led the way into Qionghua Hall, an aura of pressure merely drifting before him, quickly reflowing.

Mu Zili glanced at Han Yu, subtly nodding before following suit.

Han Yu, with a curious face, hesitated but moved forward, the same pressure sweeping before them, continually scanning.

Mu Zili was fine; Han Yu felt his heart leap to his throat as he was not of Celestial Dao Sect, would he be recognized directly soon?

Thankfully, the pressure wasn't as formidable as he feared, merely flashing a few times over his physique before retreating too.

Stepping inside, it was unexpectedly not a grand hall!

This seemed bizarre and strange, but appearing here in Celestial Dao Sect, it apparently made sense.

A small cavern world!

This replica Qionghua Hall was actually the entrance to a cavern world!

"Don't be flustered. Inside, don't wander recklessly."

Mu Zili's demeanor was calm, yet the occasional sweeping gaze affirmed the unrest within his heart.
