Chapter 576: Chapter 519: We Are All Just Pawns
At this moment, Chasing Soul really felt like crying.
This damn brute wouldn’t listen to reason at all, especially not letting people finish their sentences.
He thought that after absorbing four avatars, he had somewhat changed completely, otherwise, he wouldn’t have boasted about defeating all enemies.
But he didn’t expect that even after encountering this brute, he still couldn’t win, and the only good news was that he wasn’t crippled with just one punch.
Yes, he had indeed grown stronger, but he couldn’t feel happy no matter what.
Amidst the tumultuous sea, Chasing Soul emerged again holding his nearly broken arm, but instead of fleeing, he flew straight ahead.
Han Yu clenched his fists, a sea of fire scorching the void, with a dragon roar emanating from the flames, intending to annihilate in one fell swoop.
Chasing Soul was terrified out of his wits, almost turning to flee, but he knew if he did, he was dead for sure.
So he bit the bullet and shouted, "If I die, the favors you owe will be in vain."
Indeed, it was him!
Wang Xingzhi and the others’ expressions shifted, finally confirming that this guy was not another avatar, and quickly spoke to stop the action.
"Wait a moment, young friend, he truly is an ally."
Liu Zongyuan quickly approached, calling out to stop from outside the sea of fire.
Han Yu thought he was hallucinating until he heard the Celestial Dao Sect people’s voices stopping him again, and only then did he retract his fist, the sea of fire dissipating with it.
Having narrowly escaped death, Chasing Soul cautiously skirted around Han Yu and carefully returned to the island.
Wang Xingzhi and the others descended one after another, their expressions extremely peculiar as they looked at the spiritual treasure’s body on the ground.
They hadn’t expected the avatar’s situation to have reached this level.
If they kept hunting other avatars like this, this guy would eventually be in trouble.
In fact, he was already in trouble, Chasing Soul spoke helplessly, "I might be hunted by the Holy Sect."
Yama Hall is going to hunt down the avatars?
This was truly a grand event, and a smile uncontrollably appeared on Wang Xingzhi’s face.
Internal strife among the enemies is always a good thing.
"Is it because your previous cooperation was exposed?"
Wang Xingzhi asked with a smile on his lips.
Chasing Soul shook his head, detailing the recent events, leaving the group astonished.
Is this even possible?
Han Yu listened in confusion, but fortunately, Liu Zongyuan explained quietly beside him.
"What? This bastard actually betrayed himself?"
Han Yu was equally astounded.
He had always heard of people holding grudges against others, but bearing a grudge against oneself was truly a first.
Indeed, high-level cultivators knew how to play, such tricks could never be conceived by those country bumpkins from the Central Continent.
"I won’t be considered an avatar anymore, and from a certain perspective, all the immoral deeds were done by the first avatar you eliminated, the others just got caught up in it, I have no personal grudge against you."
Chasing Soul explained cautiously to Han Yu, fearing he might act again.
"You’re still an avatar, no matter how you slice it, you’re involved."
Han Yu sneered, trying to exonerate himself? No way.
"I’m truly not an avatar, my name is Chasing Soul, I’m just someone who has reawakened with part of the avatar’s soul."
Chasing Soul argued weakly, why couldn’t anyone understand this!
He himself was more aggressive in killing avatars, while Han Yu had only killed a few, he had already killed four.
"What do you want then?"
Wang Xingzhi asked with interest.
They were naturally pleased to see someone from Yama Hall defect, and it would be even better if they could collaborate.
"A preliminary alliance! Help me when I’m powerless, and I’ll warn you if they plot against you."
Chasing Soul proposed.
Wang Xingzhi shook his head, clearly this wasn’t enough; a simple collaboration didn’t interest him.
Chasing Soul understood their calculations and sighed, "You won’t gain anything substantial from me, the avatar’s status is too low, and what he knows is likely what you already know."
"What if I want to know Yama Hall’s location in the Endless Sea Domain?"
Wang Xingzhi asked, watching Chasing Soul intently after speaking.
If Chasing Soul were willing to reveal it, it would be a complete break with Yama Hall, leaving no room for maneuver.
Chasing Soul shook his head.
"What, you still won’t tell? Or do you think you can return?"
Wang Xingzhi sneered, considering the things the avatar had done, if everything fell on Chasing Soul, there was no escape from death.
Not to mention saving Liu Zongyuan and delivering him here, that was betrayal, the avatars would definitely embellish and report it against him.
At this point, to still hope for an escape, it’s simply naive!
"No, it’s not that I won’t tell, but I simply don’t know."
Chasing Soul’s words left the crowd stunned, and then he continued, "In fact, not only me, but among the ten, aside from Xin Zui and those three old ones, the others don’t know either."
Shaking his head, Chasing Soul said, the Holy Sect was ultimately too distrustful of them, these secrets were always only in the hands of those at the top.
One could say that except for Xin Zui and them, the rest were merely pawns waiting to be deployed for tasks.
However, the avatar foolishly reduced his own rank and ended up with all the dirty work.
"But I can offer you a guess, the entrance to Yama Hall might not be in the Endless Sea Domain."
Chasing Soul suggested after some thought.
"That’s impossible, how can it not be in the Endless Sea Domain!"
Wang Xingzhi frowned, they had been opposing each other in the Endless Sea Domain, how could Yama Hall’s entrance not be here?
"Put yourself in their shoes, the entrance to your Celestial Dao Sect probably isn’t here either, right?"
Chasing Soul suddenly said with a smile.
Everyone looked up at Wang Xingzhi upon hearing this, and the odd expression on the old man’s face gave the others a silent answer.
Especially Chasing Soul couldn’t help but laugh, "See, among you twelve, only you know the entrance to the Celestial Dao Sect."
"So how can you expect me to know the entrance to Yama Hall?"
"We, and you, are ultimately just pawns here."
Chasing Soul concluded with a sigh.
"Looks like both these forces have significant plots brewing! Pawns in the Divine Platform Realm, tut tut!"
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but shake its head.
Han Yu had a rather quirky mind and couldn’t help but secretly ask in the Sea of Consciousness, "Do you think we can still get involved?"
He heard they said pawns, but he couldn’t even handle Xin Zui’s group, wouldn’t that provoke something even more absurd?
So he continued with a wry smile, "How about we go back to the Central Continent and live a peaceful life?"
At this point, even the Artifact Spirit felt anxious; it was more afraid than Han Yu when it came down to it.
Given Han Yu’s knack for making enemies of the strong and constantly courting death, it wouldn’t be surprised if he provoked something really sinister one day.
Yama Hall wouldn’t let them off either, Han Yu had even driven the Heart Demon to leave his body.
Now, whether Han Yu stopped or not, Yama Hall would definitely not let it go.
"Let’s go, let’s go back to the Central Continent and get our Qi Fortune first."
The Artifact Spirit urged repeatedly.
At times like this, without Qi Fortune, there wasn’t even a sliver of safety.
