Chapter 805 748: The Southern Border Is Deserted

Stepping into the hall, the world seemed to turn upside down, and as Han Yu was surveying all around, he was already in a valley.

Surrounded by mountains, there was a wide stone platform with winding, narrow steps, three zhang tall.

For some reason, Mu Zili felt a peculiar sense of panic when looking at the high platform.

It was as if he was gazing at something unattainable and sublimely sacred!

Even Chang Gen couldn't give him such a misleading sense of anxiety.

For a moment, Mu Zili looked at the platform, his heart filled with apprehension.

Han Yu belatedly realized, still surveying the surroundings.

"So, this little heaven within the hall is such a lousy place?"

Lousy place?

The Artifact Spirit was already shocked speechless; with its high sensitivity, like Mu Zili, just one glance at the platform was enough to frighten it.

"This is scarier than the formation core of Yama Hall!"

The Artifact Spirit screamed, feeling the terrifying power within, even greater than that of a Divine Dao Realm expert!

Han Yu naturally wouldn't doubt the abilities of the Artifact Spirit, and for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a tingling on his scalp.

"What the hell am I doing mixed up in this!"

He struggled even against an ordinary Divine Dao Realm expert, and now he was told that what's on the stone platform before him was more terrifying than Mu Zili and the others.

How could he not be afraid?

"It seems you have no choice."

The Artifact Spirit suddenly smiled bitterly, for it had already sensed Lu Yuan's gaze directed at Han Yu.

Lu Yuan's sinister face held a mock smile, and he was not only looking at Han Yu but also at Mu Zili.

Moments later, he suddenly spoke, "You two go up and activate the array."

Han Yu instantly felt his scalp tingle; Lu Yuan made it clear it wouldn't be explained.

Just going up like that, unclear? No way he was willing.

But Lu Yuan's gaze became sharper, a chilling cold wrapping around him; the implied meaning was already clear!

Not going wasn't an option.

Just as Han Yu was still struggling, a hand suddenly pulled him along.

Mu Zili looked calm, pulling Han Yu towards the high platform, and although his lips didn't move, a thread of spiritual power entered Han Yu's ear, followed by a low voice.

"Go up, don't think of any crooked ideas."

The situation was quite clear now: going up might not result in trouble; not going up, Han Yu would definitely die.

On the winding steps, two figures continuously ascended, and halfway up, Han Yu couldn't help but whisper, "This stone platform is incredibly peculiar."

Mu Zili glanced lightly, not saying a word.

Does he not know whether it's peculiar?

But Lu Yuan's attitude was clear; he wanted them to go up and activate the array.

Although unsure what Chang Gen and the others planned, this stone platform was definitely a crucial part of their plan.

Mu Zili didn't doubt that if he didn't act, Lu Yuan might just attack him.

Lu Yuan could attack him, but he couldn't.

Because the other side backed by the Qionghua Hall, one of the Four Extremes Hall, if Mu Zili acted, they could label him a traitor at any time.

They can represent the Celestial Dao Sect, but Mu Zili cannot.

The steps led upward, gradually revealing a large terrace.

In the center of the terrace, a daylight dial faced the deep sea.

"The power is coming from inside."

The Artifact Spirit quickly alerted.

The daylight dial seemed entirely stone-made, but emitted an unusual glow; under the deep sea, it was dark, yet the stone surface glimmered.

Mu Zili was also on high alert; such a power was even stronger than him.

No, even stronger than Chang Gen and the others.

This was truly something someone from the Four Extremes Hall might create.

"Han Yu, go turn the daylight dial, Elder Mu, you watch from the side."

A cold voice came, and Han Yu's face instantly darkened.

Damn bastard, let me touch it?

He glanced at Mu Zili, grimacing and shaking his head.

Mu Zili also frowned; was he supposed to supervise?

"This daylight dial definitely has issues!"

Han Yu and Mu Zili both speculated in their hearts, the next moment Lu Yuan was already urging.

"Hurry up!"

Han Yu and Mu Zili both looked annoyed; after exchanging glances, Han Yu couldn't help but speak, "Senior, why not let me go free?"

As long as Mu Zili didn't act, Han Yu believed he had enough time to perform a Dharma Aspect of the myriad worlds; if he could instantly escape ten li, he might immediately hide himself.

But just as he'd finished speaking, he saw a figure hovering outside the stone platform.

Lu Yuan leisurely looked at the two, his sinister face cold.

"What, you're unwilling?"

Damn it, if you're willing, you do it.

Han Yu cursed inwardly, feeling for the first time like he wanted to beat that face.

"Don't be impulsive, the gap is too large."

The Artifact Spirit quickly dissuaded him; from Han Yu's personality, it knew he was truly reckless at times.

Mu Zili lightly coughed, "Han Yu, first go turn the daylight dial."

He had no choice but to speak because apart from Lu Yuan's aura, he sensed several more!

Chang Gen and the others had arrived as well...

...

"Damn it!"

On the Western Territory side, Lian Buyu hadn't waited for Chang Gen's interference but instead received news of the Southern Border being emptied.

"Have you figured it out?"

Lian Buyu asked gloomily, and several Walking the Dao cultivators below immediately responded.

"Our people are moving recklessly in the Southern Border."

Not only recklessly, but their cultivators had already entered the camp of the Celestial Dao Sect!

It really was completely emptied.

How familiar this scene was; Chang Gen and the others really used tricks often employed by Yama Hall to play him!

Soon after, a group of cultivators rushed in, with some even injured.

Upon entering, they hurriedly bowed, urgently speaking.

"Hall Master, there's movement on the sea."

Lian Buyu's first reaction was the Endless Sea Domain, as that was always a place of contention between both sides.

But the cultivator's answer was different.

Not the Endless Sea Domain?

Then where could it be?

"North of East Sea; our people intercepted a group of Celestial Dao Sect cultivators heading in that direction, seemingly northward."

Lian Buyu rose abruptly, his face dark.

"Gather the people, chase after them for me."

The entire camp was emptied; the Celestial Dao Sect's movement this time was too large; no matter what they intended, Lian Buyu wouldn't let them succeed.

After sending everyone out, he came alone before a bronze mirror, infused spiritual power, ripples instantly emerged.

Soon, voices appeared, and on the other side, there seemed to be some irritation.

"Haven't you already gone down? What can't you resolve?"

A cold voice sounded quite agitated.

"The sacred artifact here needs people to maintain, don't disturb me unnecessarily."

Another voice shared the sentiment.

Lian Buyu certainly knew they were busy; among the ten Dao Palaces, counting those like Soul Not Returning, five had already gone down; the operation of the sacred artifact also required people.

Previously, his displeasure at coming down was because Shi Xiu and the others couldn't hold the scene, resulting in his descent.

Otherwise, he was also responsible for maintaining the sacred artifact; he truly understood their irritability.

However, the Celestial Dao Sect's movements were quite unusual, subtly revealing something extraordinary.

For safety, he had to communicate with them above.

"The Celestial Dao Sect has run…"

The Yama Hall had always been the one initiating actions, now it was the Celestial Dao Sect's turn, after holding back for so long, this itself was odd.

The Celestial Dao Sect might attempt an unprecedented move this time.

Might even try to change the offensive and defensive positions in one attempt.

"Send one down!"

From within the bronze mirror someone spoke, naturally thinking the same as Lian Buyu.

The Celestial Dao Sect, after holding back for so long, suddenly disappeared; whatever they planned would likely be significant.

"Then there's short one here!"

"At most, some extra effort; the Celestial Dao Sect's affairs can't be ignored."

In a short moment, the details were finalized, and soon the more agitated voice addressed Lian Buyu.

"You go first, I'll descend later from the Endless Sea Domain…"
