Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

Outside the tower, just as a few cultivators who had woken up first walked out with light steps, the first few had already taken off unsteadily, while a young cultivator with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face was about to take off when his feet suddenly sank.

At first, he thought it was just a hallucination caused by damage to his consciousness, but soon when he tried to lift his foot, he found that he couldn't lift it at all, and then he looked down.

At that moment, a strong hand reached out from underground and gripped his ankle tightly. He tried to scream, but it was too late.

Because that big hand had already forcefully pulled him down.

The figure flashed by and was completely enveloped by the earth's power, pulling it underground.

After grabbing the other person by the throat, Han Yu quickly fled away from the place.

As he fled, his face turned cold as he asked, "I'll ask you a question, you answer it. If you don't answer, I'll kill you, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the monk with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks nodded in terror.

Where is the Enlightenment Tree located?

The cultivator never expected Han Yu to ask such a question, and his already terrified face suddenly turned even more horrified.

Everyone knows where the Enlightenment Tree is; if it exists, there's only one possibility.

This person isn't from around here!
While he was still in shock and disbelief, he felt a tremendous force on his neck, like an iron clamp tightly gripping him, as if it were going to snap his neck.

It's hard to imagine that he, a cultivator at the Divine Platform Realm, would one day encounter such a bizarre death threat, having his neck snapped.

Where does this person get such outrageous physical strength?

"who are you?"

He couldn't help but ask, his face pale.

Han Yu immediately slapped the other person and said irritably, "Don't try to make a scene out of nothing, you little punk. Tell me right now, where is the Enlightenment Tree?"

The cultivator was almost stunned by the blow, and seeing Han Yu's fist about to come down on him again, he couldn't hold back any longer and quickly pointed to the west.

"There's a grove of enlightenment there; you'll see it if you go there..."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Yu's hand flashed with light, and the cultivator, in a moment of horror, was instantly reduced to ashes before he could even react.

Until his death, he wanted to ask one question: if he didn't say he was going to die, why did he have to die even if he did?

Han Yu had no choice but to be ruthless; as long as this cultivator was alive, he would have to expose himself.

Patting the embers in his hand, Han Yu changed direction again, heading west continuously.

Meanwhile, while the Western Regions and overseas regions remained silent, the Central Continent was making constant moves.

One after another, the Tianbo Ferry ships sailed through various river basins and gradually flowed into the sea.

Mu Zili's suggestion was ultimately adopted by the group in Zhongzhou and implemented immediately.

"After this incident, can Zhongzhou be considered safe, Mr. Mu?"

Quan Xiaotong came to the deck and found Mu Zili standing there.

Mu Zili was gazing into the distance, watching the ships constantly coming and going, and for a moment he was lost in thought.

He still felt a sense of absurdity, after all, as a minor elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he was now helping to mobilize troops in the Central Continent, which was a huge contrast.

He only snapped out of his daze when Quan Xiaotong arrived, and shook his head.

"It's generally safe until the battle between the Yama Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect is decided."

The reason is simple: before either side gets what they want, it's naturally impossible for them to go to such lengths to cause trouble here.

But once a winner is decided, it's unlikely that so many problems will remain.

There will be plenty of time to deal with them then.

However, this is already a great improvement. At least, after escaping into the endless sea, this group of people no longer have to live in constant fear.

"That's enough."

Quan Xiaotong was quite satisfied with this. As long as the rear was stable, he could do a lot, and even start monitoring the forces on both sides.

This move can be considered a shift from the overt to the covert, jumping out of the Central Continent and out of the sight of both sides.

It's hard to be happy about, though, since they've lost their homes.

"A temporary loss is nothing. If we cannot have the last laugh in this three-way contest, we will all have to pay the price for our lives on the Central Continent."

Mu Zili sighed.

Quan Xiaotong naturally understood the reasoning behind it, nodded silently, and then spoke again after a moment. He certainly wouldn't have come specifically to ask this question; instead, he solemnly bowed and inquired.

"Mr. Mu, what do you think about entrusting the cultivators from Central Continent to your care?"

This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Although Quan Xiaotong was confident in his ability to see the big picture, he was finding it difficult to control the cultivators below.

The sect leaders below might be able to manage leading a group of cultivators from one region, but leading cultivators from the entire Central Continent would likely be difficult.

Mu Zili's eyebrows suddenly twitched, and he smiled abruptly. Instead of agreeing immediately, he asked a question in return, his smile ambiguous.

"You believe me?"

After all, they were defectors from the Heavenly Dao Sect, and they were once members of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Quan Xiaotong's expression was complicated, and he gave a strange smile.

“You know about Soul Chaser, right? Now he’s become one of us here. Zhongzhou is tolerant.”

"More importantly, I believe in him."

Ultimately, he still believed in Han Yu.

Since Han Yu believed that Mu Zili was of great use, he naturally couldn't leave him unused.

Before the Four Extremes Palace descended, it was Mu Zili who controlled all the Heavenly Dao Sect cultivators below and fought against the Yama Palace.

Even the fact that he forced her to stay in the hospital was a result of his actions.

How could someone like that not be of great use?

“I am actually already in the same boat as you, and in a sense, I am also a Middle-earth person.”

Mu Zili smiled mysteriously after recalling the old Taoist's words from that day.

Therefore, the next moment Mu Zili smiled and spoke.

"I agree."

"Then I'll leave things to Mr. Mu from now on."

Quan Xiaotong bowed solemnly once more.

"I have three things that need to be done immediately."

Since Mu Zili had agreed, he naturally revealed his plan.

"Make more of the Mo family's little boy's image-recording artifacts; I need to keep a close watch on several locations."

This is not difficult; even Quan Xiaotong did not expect that Mo Xiuwen's little gadget would have such a great use.

This idea was inspired by watching Han Yu undergo his tribulation. Since it can be used to watch tribulations remotely, it can also be used to keep an eye on people.

The greatest advantage of this type of mechanism is that it is difficult to detect when it is well hidden, since it is not a cultivator and has no aura whatsoever.

Furthermore, since the power is entirely provided by the Void Jade, the possibility of spiritual energy leakage is extremely small, making it equally difficult to detect.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zili also set his sights on this good stuff.

Besides keeping watch, Mu Zili also knew about Zhongzhou's "forced growth" plan.

So, Mu Zili brought up the second thing as well.

"I need the first batch of cultivators to come out as soon as possible, and you should also learn from my senior sister's body cultivation method."

If this group of cultivators can get out, with the help of mechanical Dharma forms, the lower-level combat forces will have a great deal of means to protect themselves, which is very important.

It's impossible for these powerful individuals to do everything, nor can they possibly be in two places at once to attend to so many things.

Therefore, a solid foundation is extremely important; otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Yama Palace continue to develop so many cultivators?

The third thing, Mu Zili thought for a moment with a serious face before slowly speaking.

"I feel that the forces on both sides are eerily quiet; they're probably planning to make further arrangements. You should be mentally prepared."

"What preparation?"

Quan Xiao frowned and couldn't help but ask.

Mu Zili straightened his expression, turned around with his hands behind his back, and slowly began to speak.

"Prepare to stir up trouble from both sides." (End of Chapter)
