Chapter 535: Chapter 478: Settling the Score

"Can’t you... can’t you at least ask me if I surrender first?"

The divided soul appeared exhausted; his body was indeed forged from a Spiritual Treasure, so there was no pain.

But his soul was truly fragile and weak due to the Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill splitting it into twelve parts.

The Soul-Constricting Array was the perfect weapon against him, and once prepared, the divided soul would be caught without fail.

The divided soul recounted all of Han Yu’s various deeds like spilling beans from a bamboo tube, even mentioning Han Yu’s peculiarities.

From the divided soul’s perspective, he wouldn’t say Han Yu is strong, but he’s definitely ominous; ever since he made a move against Han Yu, he hadn’t experienced a single good day.

From that encounter in the Central Continent, bad luck began, and later even his avatar was compromised there. Trying to reclaim his dignity with the merchant, he then encountered someone from the Celestial Dao Sect drawn by the Soul-Constricting array?

The merchant lost their island and was pursued, causing another avatar to be lost.

The most ridiculous was the third avatar, peacefully hidden away in a cave, yet it was destroyed by Han Yu passing by, now buried underground!

Tell me, isn’t that ominous?

Anyway, ever since Han Yu came into contact with him, there hadn’t been any good outcomes, it’s always been a litany of unfortunate events.

The merchant’s fate wasn’t better, full of misfortune...

"The merchant is dead."

A Daoist couldn’t help but remind as they listened to the divided soul’s ramblings.

The divided soul was momentarily stunned, see! The merchant was indeed the unluckiest one.

"He is full of secrets, yet also full of ominous energy."

The divided soul sighed helplessly, otherwise, how else would he be reduced to this state?

"Just think about it, when hasn’t a dispute in the Endless Sea Domain been related to him?"

"Utter nonsense, just a coincidence!"

One of the Daoists fighting alongside Liu Zongyuan couldn’t help but refute.

Another echoed, "By your logic, the two of us fought him... does that mean we’ll also have bad luck?"

The divided soul suddenly quieted down, continually staring at them, only speaking after making them uneasy, "Why not take a stroll in the sea domain for a few days to see if it’s ominous or not?"

The people from the Celestial Dao Sect naturally wouldn’t wander the sea based on the divided soul’s few words.

After all, it’s merely the divided soul’s conjecture, and given his mental state, no one took his words seriously.

The old Daoist mulled over the news about Han Yu, truly full of secrets, no wonder the Yama Hall members were trying all means to find him.

"If we meet him next time, we could offer great benefits to attract him."

The old Daoist finally spoke. Given the enmity with the Yama Hall, if they could strongly attract him, aside from his strange Pills, he would be a tremendous asset.

Liu Zongyuan only managed a wry smile; he had tried, but the other party seemed not interested.

Offering great benefits? When Han Yu casually gives out Pills of unknown value, Liu Zongyuan couldn’t think of anything substantial to offer.

"Why not ask him if he’s interested in immortality?"

The old Daoist smiled as he spoke, shocking everyone present!

"You want to recruit him into the Celestial Dao Sect?"

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim!

"He’s a Central Continent native!"

Someone reminded.

"Yes, he is from the Central Continent, how can he be allowed?"

Many echoed, evidently more disagreed.

Especially the last person spoke weakly, "Celestial Dao Sect has twelve disciples, twelve positions, if he comes, who would vacate a seat?"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, more noise erupted.

There are only twelve chairs; if recruited, surely someone must vacate their position.

The Daoists who initially fought alongside Liu Zongyuan protested the most fiercely, since in such a scenario, those ranked lower, like them, would likely give up their seats.

The old Daoist furrowed his brow and looked at the raucous scene before sharply commanding, "Quiet!"

Once the crowd quieted down, he shook his head and spoke, "When have I suggested letting him join the twelve disciples? Furthermore, which of the present hadn’t undergone long periods of tests to remain? He, too, wouldn’t be an exception."

Naturally implying to recruit him first, but to truly stay would require trials.

Immortality is an irresistible temptation not only for mortals but even for cultivators, even just offering a chance, all beings might wholeheartedly embrace it.

The old Daoist pondered with firm confidence, while Liu Zongyuan secretly suppressed an odd thought: what if the guy doesn’t buy into this puffery?

For now, Han Yu’s matter came to a temporary stop, and the old Daoist began reorganizing things.

He peculiarly glanced at the divided soul, discussing this matter openly felt somewhat awkward.

"For the time being, we’ll remain secluded; having just dealt with the Soul-Constricting and the doctor, and with the merchant dead, they’re likely to retaliate."

They’re not truly mad, striking indiscriminately, naturally reveling after gaining the upper hand before emerging again.

The divided soul also found it strange, thinking are you really discussing matters without avoiding others?

Meanwhile, the Illusion Array destroyed by Han Yu needed timely repair; the ten-mile Illusion Array served both as a barrier and a warning line.

In case of any mishap, only then can the Celestial Dao Sect respond timely.

Being the youngest, Liu Zongyuan should have been handling this arduous task, but currently, tied and bound, it’s natural he couldn’t go; ultimately, the task fell seamlessly to the two Daoists who initially protested.

Old Ten and Eleven glanced reluctantly at Liu Zongyuan before begrudgingly flying out, but soon enough, they came rushing back in panic.

Old Ten quickly uttered the word ominous thrice before hurriedly speaking, "There are many fish outside!"

Everyone was stunned; appearing fish in the Endless Sea Domain, what could be peculiar?

Old Eleven showed a grim expression; fish naturally wasn’t strange, but when sticking their heads out excitedly after seeing them and jumping, the problem escalated.

Quick on the uptake, someone realized, there’s only one person who plays with fish in this sea domain, the doctor!

"So, you two ran back?"

The old Daoist’s expression darkened, scolding foolishly, discovering fish yet fleeing toward the island, leading the way for the enemy!

Before long, the entire island erupted like lightning, accompanied by reverberations of ground shakes.

"You scoundrels, I’m here to bully with numbers," came the cheery voice from outside.

The doctor, now exuberant within the Yama Hall, offered great benefits, successfully coaxing Gu Feng, Plague Hero, and Yi Hong into joining.

When the old Daoist led people urgently to the scene, the four stood proudly, full of arrogance.

"Is this what you mean by bullying with numbers?"

The old Daoist almost laughed upon seeing the lineup, yet quickly lost his humor, for waves surged up and down the sea.

Countless figures emerged from the seabed, including ten-meter-tall giant squids and previously seen giant whales, scattered around, completely encircling the island.

This time, the doctor really brought out everything they had, at a glance, there were at least hundreds of giant creatures, instantly making the Celestial Dao Sect’s eleven feel their scalp tingling...
