Chapter 973 Undercurrent
After such a commotion, the Central Continent seemed to have entered a strange state of tranquility once again with Han Yu's disappearance.
Even overseas, it maintains an exceptionally tranquil atmosphere.
The rules that should have been fought to the death were now being ignored by everyone.
The people in Zhongzhou also discovered the current situation on the Zhongzhou continent, and a group of them gathered again to express their opinions.
"Could it be that the two sides have reached an understanding again?"
Wuxian frowned in thought, a look of apprehension on his face.
What he feared was the undercurrents beneath the surface; the importance of the rules was self-evident, something that two... no, now three, were determined to obtain.
The other two companies have remained silent.
This is the biggest problem in itself.
If both sides reach an agreement, then who is it being targeted at?
Han Yu?
Possibly, but not entirely.
If they wanted to target him, they didn't need to go to such lengths; they could have just waited for Han Yu to enter Zhongzhou.
"I feel like they've included us in their scheme this time too."
Wuxian guessed that since neither side was making any moves, they would definitely make a move, given such a good opportunity.
But if they actually send people in, the biggest fear is that the other side will sweep them away with overwhelming force.
If we add the Yin Wang faction, Wu Xian's faction, and the Zhongzhou cultivators' faction, the combined size of the three factions is enough to pose a threat to the manpower below the Celestial Realm.
At the same time, in the struggle for the rules, our side can also be considered an ally of Han Yu.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Yan Yi and Jingzhe have reached a tacit agreement to eliminate them first.
After all, their previous operation had already shown their true colors, making them highly likely to be feared.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Yan Yi's side had indeed made thorough preparations within the camp, and the strength of the Central Continent side had indeed intimidated them.
Especially those mechanisms that combine the power of many cultivators, already possess the strength to contend with the Faceless Ones under their command.
"We underestimated them."
Yan Yi's tone was quite cold. They were humiliated this time, and even lost more than they gained, while Han Yu successfully took away their luck.
The biggest oversight was that the strength of the cultivators from the Central Continent was underestimated.
They never imagined that these ants in their eyes would develop to this point, right under their noses.
Such a force will inevitably impact them, and may even have become a huge hidden danger.
"We can't let them continue to grow bigger."
Yan Yi's voice was cold, and the people around him nodded silently. They had all suffered this hardship and deeply agreed.
"Will they come in?"
Yan Er couldn't help but ask.
"It's alright, they'll come eventually."
Yan was not worried at all. They were stationed in Zhongzhou, and the initiative was in their hands. Unless Zhongzhou did not want to win, they would eventually come in.
"The other side doesn't seem to be moving either."
Yan Jiu and the others spoke up silently.
"We've already stumbled, so those guys will naturally take this as a warning. I'm afraid we all have the same goal."
Yan Yi's tone was sarcastic, which truly made the other side laugh, while also giving them a chance to see Zhongzhou for who it really was.
They would be truly foolish if they weren't wary.
The person who is awakened by the spring equinox certainly doesn't count as a fool!
After Han Yu slipped away that day, the opponent's celestial avatar and their own celestial artifact fought a long and bitter battle before finally giving up.
Neither of them seemed to be able to truly defeat the other. One was a celestial being incarnate but did not have the advantage of terrain and did not possess any celestial artifacts to contend with.
Although one has the advantage of location, it has not descended, and thus cannot unleash the full power of the Heavenly Dao's artifact.
"Are we really not going in to get the rules?"
Gu Yu couldn't help but ask.
If the King of Hell doesn't take it, that's their own business; there's really no need to cooperate with them.
"It's not about cooperating with them. The cultivators from Central Continent have caused Yan Yi and his group such a huge loss this time. Don't you understand?"
Jingzhe glanced at Guyu with a cold expression and shook her head.
While Yin Wang and Wu Xian certainly interfered, Zhongzhou itself was also quite formidable.
Those bizarre mechanisms, though strange, are still terrifying enough to pose a threat to the Faceless Ones.
He could foresee that once Zhongzhou possessed these things on a large scale, it would then unite with the traitors on both sides, Yinwang and Wuxian.
It seems that both the faceless beings below and the Dharma-like monsters on the opposite side will be eliminated.
When they're the only ones left, we can't expect them to personally go out and find out the rules, can we?
"Han Yuping has gained the other side's luck for nothing, and it's probably going to be difficult to deal with."
Jingzhe spoke coldly, saying that everyone had seen what Han Yu had done that day. Even his celestial clone and his own Heavenly River could not kill him, so their combined attack would probably be too much for him.
This guy has already gained momentum; if we don't find a way to kill him soon, there will be endless troubles to come.
This time, the target is not only Han Yu, but also Zhongzhou.
They are determined to exterminate them all.
"Will our Dao-seeking Stone still be of any use?"
Bai Lu asked hesitantly.
"No need now."
He hesitated for a moment in front of Jingzhe, then resolutely shook his head.
The lesson learned by Yan Yi and his group is right before their eyes; even with such meticulous planning, the enemy was still able to find a loophole.
Now that Han Yu possesses a Heavenly Dao artifact, using the same method against him would be tantamount to giving it away for free.
"Either destroy it or don't give him any chance."
It's cold on the winter solstice, so be careful not to make a sound.
Since the other party needs luck, then such a hot potato as the Dao Asking Stone should definitely not be left behind. Jingzhe actually thought so too; destroying the Dao Asking Stone was undoubtedly the best solution.
But he was also afraid that he would still need to use this stupid method to lure Han Yu later.
He was afraid that the bait would be taken and the other party would benefit.
He was also afraid that without this bait, the other party would have no way to restrain him anymore.
Faced with this dilemma, Jingzhe ultimately chose to hide the thing away in an unexpected place.
As for the Central Continent, he thought for a moment before speaking.
"Since Yan Yi and the others aren't making any moves, then we won't either. We'll wait until the Central Continent can't hold back any longer before we do anything."
……
"How the hell can I tolerate this?"
When Han Yu's voice came from the token, everyone's expression turned strange.
The wise old man's words were ultimately not entirely correct; who said Han Yu was incapable of communicating with the outside world?
We were in too much of a rush before, especially in life-or-death situations.
Moreover, this was the first time Han Yu had entered his own sea of consciousness with his soul, so he was naturally flustered and unable to calm down.
Not long after, Han Yu looked at the token in his sea of consciousness and cursed himself for being an idiot. The spirit of the artifact used the token to communicate with the outside world from within his sea of consciousness all the time, how could he have forgotten?
At this point, Han Yu was finally able to resume communication with the group from Zhongzhou.
The first thing to do was to find out who was behind this terrible idea. When Han Yu spoke his first words, everyone could tell that he was really angry.
"Who came up with this terrible idea?!"
"I."
Quan Xiaotong stepped forward and spoke with a bitter expression.
The number of cultivators who died in the Western Regions this time not only exceeded Han Yu's expectations, but also truly weakened the Central Continent.
The situation in Zhongzhou had just begun to improve, but now it's been completely ruined.
That's why Han Yu is throwing a tantrum now.
He had worked so hard to keep the Central Continent afloat, protecting it from all sides, but these guys just threw it all away like that. That's what angered him the most.
If it were a real fight to the death, he would have nothing to say, but these cultivators were truly being used as cannon fodder to die.
"They are not cannon fodder."
Quan Xiaotong couldn't help but correct him, his face serious.
"But in the end, you treat them as cannon fodder."
The token carried Han Yu's furious words.
Yin Wang and Wu Xian secretly broke out in a cold sweat; this was the reason why they had refused to take the blame in the first place.
They were just afraid that Han Yu would settle scores with them later.
The number of dead and injured this time is too high, and no one dares to gamble on whether Han Yu will take action against them.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for the people of Central Continent to take the blame themselves.
Han Yu wasn't ungrateful; in the end, the greatest credit for obtaining this fortune went to the dead cultivators.
However, he found it difficult to accept the mentality of the Central Continent's higher-ups, who treated human lives as cannon fodder.
How is this any different from the two celestial beings?
After the battle is over, how many people will be left in Zhongzhou?
The bickering between the two continued, while those around them listened quietly. After all, they were the ones who had kept it from Han Yu in the first place, so Han Yu's great dissatisfaction was understandable.
"It's impossible for Zhongzhou to be unable to help every time. This time, the cultivators all participated voluntarily."
Quan Xiaotong sighed with a sorrowful expression. This was what pained Han Yu the most. These fools who were going to their deaths were all doing it voluntarily.
"If you can win, Zhongzhou will have a future; if you lose, they will die anyway."
Quan Xiaotong stated this fact with utter helplessness.
"The situation will only become more dangerous, and more people will die."
Yin Wang couldn't help but speak up.
Now, it seems that a new, vast net has been woven across the Central Continent, waiting for them.
What exactly is going on now?
There was a moment of silence inside the token before Han Yu's voice came through again.
The group recounted the current situation of the Central Continent, and finally Yin Wang sighed.
"This is probably not just targeting you, but everyone."
The fact that the opponent pulled back their fist could not mean they were afraid; it could only mean they were planning to strike hard.
If these Faceless Ones are not scattered across the Central Continent, then they must have been gathered together. Once they take action, it will surely be a swift and decisive strike.
"The situation is probably the same over there during the Jingzhe period."
Wuxian chimed in.
Both sides seem to have reached a tacit understanding on this matter, and it appears they want to eliminate them first.
"I'll figure out a way to get my physical body back."
Han Yu remained silent for a moment before finally giving his instructions.
He wasn't afraid of what the Celestial Being said. As long as the Celestial Being didn't make a move, he was confident that he could beat Yan Yi and the others senseless with the bottle on his person.
However, we cannot act rashly against the group of cultivators from Zhongzhou.
"Yan Yi and the others can only be left to you. As for the rest, we'll figure it out."
Quan Xiaotong spoke with a solemn expression.
Han Yu smiled bitterly in his mind. Two days had already passed, and the useless spirit still hadn't woken up.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout in his mind, "You old devil, have you come up with a solution yet?" (End of Chapter)
