Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Han Yu has returned.

By the time Quan Xiaotong and others received the news, Han Yu was already hovering above the East Sea.

The cultivators from the Central Continent, having learned their lesson, no longer dared to linger in one place.

Besides the reef Han Yu had set up, the other Celestial Wave Crossing locations were constantly shifting.

It was only by following the Artifact Spirit’s guidance that Han Yu could find them; otherwise, an ordinary Yama Hall cultivator would have struggled to catch up with these ships.

Xia Wuyou personally came out to receive him, and after returning to the specially gathered ship, a group of strong practitioners from the Central Continent was already waiting.

”It’s good that you’re safe.”

Quan Xiaotong stepped forward, scrutinized Han Yu, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

”Luckily, it was a narrow escape.”

Han Yu replied with a smile, although it was far from a narrow escape; he nearly lost his life there.

To him, as long as he didn’t die, it was a close call.

When mentioning his overseas journey, Han Yu suddenly adopted a serious demeanor and detailed everything he had seen and heard, except the incident with Chen Xixi.

The expressions of those in the hall shifted continuously, sometimes somber, sometimes shocked, sometimes astonished.

Mainly because everything Han Yu described was so shocking.

Who would have thought that the Celestial Dao Sect, usually so unassuming, could in one move equal the efforts Yama Hall had made for so long?

Even more surprising was how ruthless the Celestial Dao Sect could be.

The overseas archipelago! Gone!

How many living beings were slaughtered?

Every time they recalled the scenes Han Yu described, even someone like Xia Wuyou couldn’t help but gasp.

They all thought the same as Han Yu; if Yama Hall had been a step late, and Celestial Dao Sect had laid out its plans in the Central Continent first, then the current Central Continent...

It would probably be several times more tragic than now!

Some cultivators, feeling a chill to the bone, couldn’t help but breathlessly say, ”Couldn’t have dodged it; in an instant, half of the Central Continent could be slaughtered.”

”Never thought that the Celestial Dao Sect was the truly terrifying one!”

It was incredibly deceptive; initially, the cultivators from Celestial Dao Sect seemed like headless flies, bumbling around and stumbling against Yama Hall.

It even seemed as though Celestial Dao Sect was struggling to contend with Yama Hall.

But it turned out they disdained acting here.

In the crowd, only Quan Xiaotong’s expression remained unchanged; he had long suspected these matters, though he couldn’t predict their methods due to the vast gap in power.

After all, imagining the means they might employ was almost impossible from his level.

But he had always believed that Celestial Dao Sect was deeply hidden.

”That conforms to logic!”

Quan Xiaotong spoke solemnly; without corresponding power, how could they become a formidable rival?

Furthermore, from the current known conditions, revisiting everything from start to finish, Yama Hall had been continuously making moves, while Celestial Dao Sect remained unfazed.

Who was stronger or weaker seemed obvious.

In reality, Celestial Dao Sect was the stronger side.

This revelation was a shock to the strong practitioners from the Central Continent.

Han Yu was also slow on the uptake at this moment, and what’s most terrifying about Celestial Dao Sect is not just that; even the cultivators under them didn’t know their sect was so powerful.

Like Su Xiaoxiao and the like, they were unaware and blindly entered the fray.

In total, many of Celestial Dao Sect’s expendable cultivators died unknown in the Central Continent.

Powerful, determined, and ruthless!

This was Han Yu’s evaluation of Celestial Dao Sect at that moment.

Lucky for him, he had the mad idea earlier on to dare to impersonate their pawn.

No wonder he wasn’t wronged for being in trouble overseas.

”Honestly, I feel like I rushed to make myself their tool.”

Han Yu said with a bitter smile to Quan Xiaotong.

Quan Xiaotong also reviewed Han Yu’s experiences, nodding solemnly.

”Probably from the very beginning, they saw you as a tool.”

Perhaps from the moment Han Yu was taken into the small cave paradise, the high-ups of Celestial Dao Sect didn’t just let it go but rather solidified Han Yu’s identity.

On one hand, to hide their actual pawns.

On the other, to divert Yama Hall’s attention and achieve their aims.

”Looks like I’ll need to break ties; fortunately, I’ve faked my death, so no one in Celestial Dao Sect will know I’m alive.”

Han Yu nodded deeply, exhaling a relieved breath.

”Han Yu!”

A voice suddenly rang out, and when Han Yu turned to look, he was a bit dumbfounded, as it was a young Daoist.

Strangely, he had never seen this person; there seemed to be no one like this in the Central Continent’s camp.

”Fool, that’s a Divine Dao Realm expert.”

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but curse in his Sea of Consciousness.

In the Central Continent’s camp, finding a Divine Dao Realm expert seems like there’s only one possibility.

The people of the Central Continent looked at Han Yu with odd expressions; just as he talked about faking his death, now it was all for nothing.

At this point, Han Yu also had an epiphany; if common people can change their appearance, so can his master.

However, why was this guy here?

Quan Xiaotong helplessly whispered, ”This gentleman couldn’t stay calm below; he insisted on coming up, and your few friends didn’t stop him, nor did they want to, so they let him up.”

In reality, the situation was far more absurd than what he said; Chen Xixi is a restless sort, and being confined underwater was fine at the start because there was something to pique her curiosity, but that interest also had a limit, so it was nearly like imprisonment, and she couldn’t stay put.

In the end, Suman couldn’t resist going to Mo Xiuwen to see if he could get her out; otherwise, he feared he couldn’t keep her in check.

Mo Xiuwen, overwhelmed with the situation, passed it over to Quan Xiaotong, and Quan Xiaotong naturally valued the position of the reef above all else. He thought if she wanted to come up, so be it!

As long as she didn’t cause trouble.

”That’s how it is.”

Quan Xiaotong said helplessly, then looked at Han Yu with an investigative gaze.

He was quite curious; how could someone who was clearly taken away by force the last time still be willing to help Celestial Dao Sect?

”It’s hard to say, but if something happens to this person, my overseas friend will also die, so I have to lend a hand.”

Han Yu still didn’t mention Chen Xixi’s personal matters, offering only a rough explanation.

Then he glanced gloomily at the person, grumbling internally that after all this help, they still dared to roam around instead of lying low.

He somewhat understood Mu Zili’s hardships.

With a same-sect member like this, who wouldn’t be worn out?

Even more unbelievably, Chen Xixi charged forward, and her opening line left everyone stunned.

”Han Yu, I’ve been stalking you for a while; come over and let me feel you.”

A crowd of people with complex expressions looked back and forth between the two.

Two grown men, meeting and saying such things; it’s very odd!

Chen Xixi, without permission, reached out, and Han Yu quickly stepped aside, bewildered, saying hastily, ”Senior, please behave.”

”Behave my ass, they say your body is unbelievably formidable and unmatched physically, and I’m curious.”

Chen Xixi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, unintentionally leaving the group dumbstruck for a moment.

”Wake up! That’s a man.”

Han Yu was also caught off guard, while the Artifact Spirit crazily warned in his Sea of Consciousness.

By the time he came to, Chen Xixi’s hands were already on him, and saying it was a touch wouldn’t be right; spiritual power condensed in her hands as she continuously patted Han Yu’s body.

The momentum didn’t seem significant, but the snapping and popping sounds echoed repeatedly.

Some spiritual power even penetrated his flesh to strike his bones, emitting resonant sounds like a muffled bell being struck.

The people from the Central Continent watched with subtle changes in their expressions, not only surprised by the other’s minute control over spiritual power but also shocked by the other’s audacity.
