Chapter 855 - 798: The Old Daoist’s Silver Tongue

Don’t even mention recruiting someone overseas.

Even picking up hotpot is fine.

Mu Zili plus Chen Xixi and the old Taoist, three Divine Dao Realm cultivators!

If we take a bit of risk to bring them into the Central Continent faction, Quan Xiaotong would be thrilled.

Especially Mu Zili’s value, absolutely high, powerful and smart.

Chen Xixi... just a bonus!

As for the old Taoist, the Artifact Spirit has repeatedly warned, never underestimate a ruthless person whose words shape reality.

Though indeed tricky, the old Taoist’s words shaping reality can sometimes be terrifyingly strong.

If Mu Zili can ask him, it proves Mu Zili truly has no other option.

And if someone like that can ask him, bringing them to the Central Continent is definitely a wise move.

Han Yu didn’t bring up the matter again; firstly, it’s unnecessary, and secondly, out of respect for Mu Zili.

No need to be too explicit.

Han Yu naturally agreed wholeheartedly, but not now.

"I wasn’t just boasting; I’m really here to cause trouble."

Since Mu Zili has become a target for the Celestial Dao Sect, Han Yu might as well be candid.

"Are you suicidal?"

Chen Xixi’s eyes widened in shock, exclaiming.

Someone can be even more reckless than her?

Causing trouble for the Celestial Dao Sect? Where does this courage come from?

Quickly, she looked at the void and suddenly felt relieved; this guy said he’d kill Lu Yuan, so causing trouble doesn’t seem impossible.

"Good!"

Mu Zili also had no objections; as long as the factions haven’t truly started fighting, Di Liuxin will still be overseas, going now is as good as suicide.

This doesn’t conflict with what Han Yu wants to do.

However, Mu Zili appraised Han Yu from head to toe; even if he can beat Lu Yuan, causing trouble is different, more than just risky, it could be fatal.

At that time, Di Liuxin will surely be present, there’s no way he’d let others cause trouble.

"Don’t die in there."

Mu Zili spoke with a strange expression, still waiting for him to help bring the old Taoist out; if he dies, saving them would be extremely difficult.

Han Yu smiled mysteriously, confident in his ability to cause trouble.

However, it still depends on whether Yama Hall’s capabilities are up to par; as long as they can hold Di Liuxin back, he can wreck havoc and leave grandly.

If Yama Hall’s capabilities fall short, causing trouble would be truly dangerous.

"Can I join?"

Chen Xixi suddenly lit up, smiling.

Almost choking Mu Zili and Han Yu, unable to help but look at her strangely.

Goodness, her face was full of eagerness.

Han Yu quietly cursed; with such a comrade, not just this time, who knows how many more times the Celestial Dao Sect might have to clean house!

Moreover, this person displayed absolutely no loyalty to the Celestial Dao Sect, ready to switch sides at any moment, a walking betrayal.

"No!"

Han Yu and Mu Zili spoke in unison.

Mu Zili naturally didn’t want his senior sister to get involved in this mess; in such circumstances, every step is fraught with danger.

As seen from the overseas conflict, even the Divine Dao Realm isn’t invincible; they could be killed easily.

Han Yu’s rejection was due to Chen Xixi being a completely unstable factor, to put it bluntly, a liability.

He can maneuver alone, so why drag along trouble?

"Go wait for me in the Eastern Territory of Central Continent! The ordinary ones know how to find them."

Han Yu hurriedly instructed, fearing Chen Xixi would insist on following, promptly transformed into an aurora and disappeared into the sky.

This scene frustrated Chen Xixi, unable to refrain from asking Mu Zili.

"Does he think I’m a liability?"

Mu Zili glanced at her, shook his head, then spoke with a strange tone.

"You know it, yet you ask."

Su Xiaoxiao was still waiting with the ordinary folks; after waiting for half a two-hour period, growing increasingly uneasy.

So much time has passed; maybe they’re all trapped?

Can’t blame him for thinking this; Chang Gen and Lu Yuan, both elders under Qionghua Hall, are exceptionally strong.

Juding from how these two could render Mu Zili and Chen Xixi helpless, it’s clear.

Even if Han Yu is formidable, saving people from their hands is uncertain; maybe three people together could barely protect themselves.

In his imagination, there might still be a bloody battle going on!

But just as he finished the thought, two familiar auras suddenly appeared, five-colored light came from the sky; although looking ragged, at least both were unharmed.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t contain his joy, quickly approaching with the ordinary folks.

Unbelievable, that kid managed to save them!

"Where’s that kid?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked around but couldn’t find Han Yu’s figure.

"He’s fine, he left first."

Mu Zili spoke flatly.

"Then let’s hurry and escape."

After hearing it, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but urge, afraid Chang Gen might catch up.

But Mu Zili shook his head with a strange expression, sighed slowly, "No need to escape, Chang Gen ran away, Lu Yuan is dead!"

What?

Su Xiaoxiao thought he heard wrong, couldn’t help but confirm.

Mu Zili still replied the same, leaving Su Xiaoxiao dumbfounded.

Moments later, in utter disbelief, he stammered, as if seeing a ghost.

"You... you don’t say, it was that kid?"

"It was him alright."

Mu Zili revealed a strange expression. Although Chang Gen wasn’t chased away by Han Yu, he fled after sensing the threat from the other party and weighing the pros and cons.

Saying he was scared away by Han Yu isn’t wrong either.

Su Xiaoxiao, naively, made a human-like gesture, pinching her thigh. Only when she grimaced in pain did she finally confirm she wasn’t dreaming.

Mu Zili wouldn’t lie, and he couldn’t have misheard.

So, all of this is real.

It’s simply absurd. He was still worrying about whether Han Yu would get trapped, only to find out it was all about killing someone.

"What should we do in the future?"

When Su Xiaoxiao asked this, her face was full of worry. Suddenly becoming a target for Celestial Dao Sect’s elimination was just too fast a change.

Chen Xixi, however, was unusually quiet, after all, this matter was started by her.

"Not necessarily, don’t blame yourself yet."

Mu Zili suddenly turned his head to comfort Chen Xixi. During their short journey here, he couldn’t help but review the situation again.

If it really was because of Chen Xixi’s matter, why would they act so ruthlessly?

Chang Gen and his group didn’t seem to be tracking them but came prepared, clearly to kill.

Mu Zili inadvertently glanced overseas, "I suspect the problem might be with the old man. He’s definitely hiding something."

If this is the case, it’s even more imperative to get the old man out.

Since they could target them, the old man must be in a bad situation too.

Thinking of this, Mu Zili feared the old man had already met with misfortune, then immediately used the Breath-Attracting Skill, a technique left between him and his master.

After releasing a wisp of energy, it spiraled in the air. Just as it was about to fly overseas, Mu Zili instantly grabbed it back.

Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, able to use the Breath-Attracting Skill meant he’s not dead.

If he’s not dead, that’s good.

"Head to the Eastern Territory of Central Continent first."

Going overseas now is no different from seeking death. Since they know the old man is still alive, he has enough patience to wait for Han Yu to join and help.

...

At this moment, the old man seemed to have been beaten back to his original form, once again looking like an old, shriveled figure, cursing all the while.

"You coward, playing detention because you don’t dare take action?"

Di Liuxin’s face turned dark several times, veins bulging on his forehead. With a wave of his hand, the door of Qionghua Hall immediately closed, a barrier appeared, completely isolating the sound from outside.

The old man might not care about face, but Di Liuxin still did.

He’s fortunate his foresight was quick because the old man’s next words were somewhat personally attacking.

"Bastard, thousands of years ago, when I used your head as a walnut, you didn’t even dare fart."

"You’re just a fool, used by those three for thousands of years as a tool."

"Thousands of years, even a pig living that long should be smarter than you by now!"

Di Liuxin was fuming, anger boiling from every orifice, but he had no way of dealing with the other.

His Mental Realm broke repeatedly, exhibiting normal joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

This was quite a frightening thing. If not stopped, his strength might plummet significantly.

The most upsetting was the old man’s previous remark, the teacher’s path might not be their path.

If he was crumbling so easily, did that mean the old man was correct?

Thinking of this sent a chill down his spine. If the old man was right, then what did the four of them count for?

Fools?

It couldn’t be, it’s absolutely impossible.

The old man’s current situation already explained everything.

They weren’t wrong.

"You won’t fool me anymore, I won’t fall for your tricks, you understand nothing!"

Di Liuxin slowly looked up, gritting his teeth.

"Then what do you understand?"

The old man, with a mocking expression, said to him tauntingly.

"At least I understand the teacher’s path and practice it."

Di Liuxin gritted his teeth, speaking venomously.

Cluck cluck!

The old man’s response was a burst of mocking laughter, calling them all ignorant fools.

"What do you understand?"

Di Liuxin retorted with anger.

The old man suddenly fell silent, seemingly in contemplation.

Nothing about Celestial Dao Sect had ever been revealed to him, nor had the actions of the Four Extremes Hall.

He roamed the small world like an ordinary cultivator, holding an honorary elder title.

Celestial Dao Sect cultivators didn’t recognize him, nor did Yama Hall cultivators.

He wandered between the two forces.

This should have been Di Liuxin’s strongest rebuttal, so he thought.

But as the old man slowly lifted his head, their eyes briefly met, and Di Liuxin suddenly had the urge to turn and leave.

He felt that the old man’s words were about to make him uncomfortable again.

"Because I don’t want to understand the master’s intentions, I don’t want to understand what you’re doing either."

The old man, however, was taken aback after speaking. Di Liuxin, that bastard, left without listening to him finish.

"Come back, I wasn’t done talking!"

The old man’s voice echoed inside Qionghua Hall, but outside the hall, not a sound was heard.

As Di Liuxin rushed out, it was as if fleeing in panic.

Forcibly suppressing all sorts of thoughts, his heart fell silent once more, systematically eliminating all irrelevant emotions.

Soon, his indifferent face showed no trace of any emotion.

He abruptly spoke to the other three halls, his voice lingering, "The arrangements on that side are almost complete. Send some people over, or come down yourselves."

The upcoming journey to Central Continent seemed timely, and it was time for Yama Hall to take the stage in this grand drama.

Thinking of this, he already floated up with the wind, as if becoming one with the void.

Before leaving, he couldn’t help but turn back and speak coldly, "I’ve captured the person, but if they can escape under your noses, that would truly be a joke, dear brothers."
