Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?
Chapter 508 - 451: The Peddler
"Faster!"
In the Endless Sea Domain, two figures moved across the waves at a terrifying speed.
The facial expression of the split soul was extremely ugly; after the unfamiliar memories were shared, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
Is this something a human could think of?
Are you still human? Is this what a human would do?
At this moment, he even wished to summon all his clones to kill Han Yu, it was just too damn hateful.
He also loathed that part of himself immensely.
Ugh! Spineless.
The Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill is a forbidden technique; each clone is a part of himself and behaves identically, except for one flaw that can’t really be called a flaw.
Apart from shared memories, the twelve clones are independent individuals, and he cannot interfere with them based on his current thoughts.
The only option is to hurry and get there so that when the other self receives the memories, there’ll be less damn talking.
"Say something useful! Idiot."
He muttered to himself, cursing his own clone.
"I’ve already told you; your Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill is nothing but a worthless trick, yet you treat it like treasure. You’re right in cursing yourself, you fool."
The speaker in a muffled voice was a man appearing middle-aged, with age leaving no trace on him. He was dressed in black simple attire, his complexion was dark, and his expression full of fierceness.
This person was also peculiar, carrying a bamboo basket filled to the brim with dolls, looking like a peddler wandering the streets in the mortal world.
He scoffed at the split soul, his words full of sarcasm.
The split soul turned his head helplessly; if it were before, he would have argued back, but now he must rely on others, so he had to endure silently.
Though deep down, he was definitely cursing.
The split soul secretly cursed as he thought, you make yourself look like a peddler, and you still dare criticize me.
After a while, the split soul’s heart suddenly jolted, and he quickly turned back, "How about we go faster?"
His timid self was forced to speak.
The peddler furrowed his brows, looking around at the endless sea domain, somewhat hesitant.
Although there was no one around now, once they exploded their full power, if it attracted those mad dogs, it would just require more effort.
"It might attract those twelve dog things, better safe than sorry."
He said.
"It won’t; my clone had split off an external body, one of which fell into their hands. They’re busy interrogating me now, no time to come."
In his urgency, the split soul revealed the situation on the other end.
The peddler’s expression changed, and looking at the split soul, his face now carried a mocking smile.
Because the other party hadn’t mentioned this incident when seeking him out, it turned out there was this detail in between.
"Do you realize this matter is enough to land you in trouble."
The split soul certainly knew; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to remedy the situation.
Charging into the Celestial Dao Sect to save himself was unrealistic; he could only try to remedy the situation from Han Yu’s side.
As long as the secrets on Han Yu were valuable enough, he could redeem himself.
"Ha!"
The peddler merely sneered coldly.
Being also from Yama Hall, he never thought much of the split soul; whether in terms of personality or qualification, this guy belonged to the bottom tier.
Similarly, the split soul indeed ranked the lowest; so the tasks they saw as menial were all done by the split soul, such as dealing with the affairs of traveling in and out of Central Continent, or tasks they disdain to undertake.
To people from Central Continent, someone like this might seem like an unattainable powerhouse, but to them, it was merely someone who had barely managed to climb to the same level by tenacity through the years.
"I haven’t deceived you about Han Yu; the secret this guy holds is absolutely worth your effort. If you find a way to get faster, help me this time, then whatever you get from him, I’ll pretend not to know."
The split soul opened his mouth helplessly.
The reason for their cooperation was obviously the secrets Han Yu held; first get the secrets, then leave some for the Holy Sect. That was their agreement.
He originally thought he could share the spoils with the other side, but seeing the peddler’s attitude, he feared that even getting scraps would be rare, perhaps at worst only able to drink the broth.
The peddler snorted coldly, somewhat intrigued, and upon hearing, he reached into the bamboo basket and pulled out a doll, muttering softly before tossing it out.
The doll turned into a streak of white light, darting in the opposite direction, and in just a moment, it was out of sight.
Soon, with loud commotions erupting continuously from that direction.
"Let it distract those mad dogs, follow me."
The peddler sneered, firmly pushing the split soul’s back, and the two figures, already moving at terrifying speed, suddenly vanished from the spot...
...
Han Yu had only fused half an arm when the split soul on that end had already compromised.
"What do you want to know?"
His tone was full of defeat; his other self was too slow.
Standing and talking is easy; being thrown into the toilet was not for the other self. "He" spoke toughly, what’s called spineless.
At this moment, the split soul felt a damn splitting sensation, can’t even understand his own difficulties?
Quan Xiaotong laughed, though the means were somewhat disgusting, they really worked.
"Who are you people exactly?"
The split soul responded weakly, "Yama Hall!"
Quan Xiaotong was certainly not satisfied with this answer; Yama Hall was already known information.
"Who are you?"
Quan Xiaotong patiently asked again.
"Yama Hall has ten people, I am a split soul of one hall."
The split soul’s eyes were empty as he murmured. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"If you keep dodging the question, I’ll really continue melting you."
Han Yu couldn’t stand it, he threatened aloud.
"I want to know who you really are."
Quan Xiaotong couldn’t help but speak coldly, these trivial things were utterly useless.
The split soul’s eyes struggled constantly, "I advise you better not know, the Holy Sect is beyond your reach."
Just as he said that, Han Yu’s fire was already blazing up again, the arm half burnt was once more red hot.
"Pickle him for a while before asking again!"
"I can’t say."
The split soul sighed helplessly.
"Then say what you can say."
Quan Xiaotong was also helpless and changed strategy.
This stumped the split soul; there’s nothing in the Holy Sect he could talk about.
After a mental search, he could only come up with trivial stuff.
"We indeed inherited from the ancient times, always hidden behind the scenes, observing the sun and moon changes of Central Continent. We witnessed your rise and fall, seas changing into mulberry fields, dynasties changing, and countless times we appeared in your histories, leaving traces, only you didn’t know."
"Purpose?"
Quan Xiaotong frowned and asked.
Everything has a purpose, especially such an ancient heritage, kept so secret, definitely with a purpose.
But when the topic moved to this point, the split soul became unresponsive, even if Han Yu intensified the fire, it was futile.
"Does he really need to be thrown into the toilet to talk?"
The split soul’s features twisted, his heart awfully agonized, he didn’t want to go into the toilet!
"That so-called Celestial Dao Sect, you can talk about that!"
Quan Xiaotong waved his hand, interrupted Han Yu, and changed the topic.
"The Celestial Dao Sect is also an ancient heritage, always hidden behind the scenes, we’ve been competing for thousands of years."
The split soul sighed.
"Their purpose?"
Quan Xiaotong asked again.
Unexpectedly, the split soul chose silence.
This was quite similar to Han Yu’s previous attempt, both seemed consciously reluctant to reveal each other’s true motives.
"Am I to conclude, your purposes are the same, or perhaps their purpose is to prevent what you aim to do."
Quan Xiaotong pondered slightly, already starting to understand a bit.
This could indeed explain the split soul’s silence.
Regarding Quan Xiaotong’s keen sense, the split soul was truly impressed.
