Chapter 577: Chapter 520: The Hidden White Lotus Effect
"Did you really let him go?"
The members of the Celestial Dao Sect watched Han Yu’s hurried departure, and Liu Zongyuan couldn’t help but ask Wang Xingzhi.
It was no easy feat to coax him over here; although there were unexpected events in between, in the end, they managed to connect with him.
He couldn’t make any major decisions, but Wang Xingzhi, as the great master, could!
How could he let him go so easily?
"No rush. He has already caused enough trouble for Yama Hall; whether we pull him into the alliance is irrelevant."
Wang Xingzhi replied with a smile. If the Heart Demon issue was true, then Han Yu had truly angered Xin Zui, Xin Yin, and Wuyin.
Perhaps now those three wish they could devour the kid alive.
Liu Zongyuan suddenly realized what was happening with this reminder.
Indeed, most likely, all of Yama Hall’s enmity was now directed at Han Yu. When it comes down to it, at this moment, Han Yu is far more hateful than their Celestial Dao Sect.
"That kid certainly has no good intentions, using us as pawns!"
Wang Xingzhi wasn’t foolish; Han Yu told him these things for no reason, intending for the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall to clash so he could remain uninvolved.
Wishful thinking!
"In the end, he’s still too young; in the end, he might end up screwing himself over, don’t you think?"
Liu Zongyuan seemed puzzled, not understanding Wang Xingzhi’s point.
Wang Xingzhi, with a look of wisdom, smiled and explained.
"The three old monsters had their Heart Demons depart their bodies because of Han Yu. Even if we intervene, they would only hate that kid more."
"At most, we can reveal our plan to capture the Heart Demons at that time..."
As the instigator, he still wants to remain on the sidelines; wishful thinking!
Chasing Soul watched everyone with a strange expression, having just been reborn. He had just realized his former "self" was not a good person, but it seemed these guys from the Celestial Dao Sect were even worse.
"Have you ever thought about rebelling against Yama Hall?"
Wang Xingzhi asked Chasing Soul.
Given Chasing Soul’s situation, Yama Hall wouldn’t let him go; even if he had a hundred mouths, it wouldn’t help.
Six avatars testified against him, not to mention his rescue of Liu Zongyuan and subsequent cooperation to kill the avatars, leaving no escape from the traitor label.
Chasing Soul fell into silence; he understood his predicament well. From the moment the avatars called him a traitor, he had no way back.
But if it meant completely going against Yama Hall, he didn’t have the guts for it.
Joining the Celestial Dao Sect’s ship was absolutely impossible for him. Even if he was willing, Wang Xingzhi would constantly guard against him or simply use him.
"For now, I’m only considering the cooperation we discussed earlier. If Yama Hall has plans against you, I’ll be willing to inform you. But if Yama Hall acts against me, I hope you won’t stand by and do nothing."
Chasing Soul wasn’t afraid they wouldn’t agree. After all, they were all pawns, and by knowing Yama Hall’s layout, the Celestial Dao Sect could also save themselves.
Mutual benefit for all.
"We’re all pawns on the board; there’s really no need to be so desperate!"
Upon hearing this sentiment, the Celestial Dao Sect members exchanged bewildered looks.
The change in this soul’s behavior was unexpectedly swift and drastic, wasn’t it?
Unwittingly, they developed a greater apprehension about techniques involving soul division.
After finalizing the cooperation terms, Chasing Soul was struck with a sudden idea for a new destination...
...
After several days of calm, New Sea Stone City finally settled back into peace.
The city had already begun to take shape, with the faint outline of a large city visible. It was believed that with a little more time, this place would surely become the largest city in the East Sea Realm.
Ling Wuce didn’t leave with Quan Xiaotong and the others; instead, he stationed himself there.
Firstly, Quan Xiaotong sent ten cultivators over, tasking him with waiting for Han Yu.
Secondly, he was seriously injured. A few days ago, he used the Eye of Divination Path to view scenes of Heaven and Earth Destruction, nearly losing his Dao heart and fainting, not to mention losing ten years of life due to not being able to utter a few words of wisdom.
The loss of life was negligible, but the internal injuries to his unsettled Dao heart still needed addressing.
Coincidentally, someone was there who could solve this issue.
Just, the method of resolution was somewhat repugnant.
"My lord."
Chicken Feather Gall slowly walked in, pale-faced, holding two White Lotuses in his hands.
Upon just one glance, Ling Wuce’s face turned ashen, nearly wanting to blow the person away.
Chicken Feather Gall was equally afraid but mostly felt wronged. He had already prepared them outside before daring to bring them in; yet now the lord still picked and chose.
A few days ago, Quan Xiaotong, curious about his predicament, specifically inquired, and he explained the effect of the Pills given by Han Yu in full detail.
The Tower Master, with boundless imagination, unexpectedly made Chicken Feather Gall try a White Lotus himself.
Chicken Feather Gall begrudgingly tried it, and to his surprise, a miraculous thing happened; his injuries miraculously eased a bit.
This meant that his ability to transfer others’ pain to himself could also use the White Lotus to heal those injuries.
In other words, as long as it wasn’t a life-threatening injury, it wouldn’t be a problem for him.
"Han Yu’s Pills were never considered wasted; use your brain more often."
This was Quan Xiaotong’s warning to everyone after witnessing the complete effect.
And immediately, Chicken Feather Gall healed himself completely.
The only issue was that Ling Wuce’s injuries were problematic, given the known origin of the White Lotus. Consuming it again required a hefty level of mental fortitude.
Therefore, Ling Wuce’s injury was difficult because of the courage required to consume it.
Chicken Feather Gall believed that presenting the White Lotus to someone required immense courage, his pallor was due to fear. Why?
Because he feared the lord would suddenly explode in a fit of rage!
Chicken Feather Gall, sensible as he was, silently placed the White Lotus down after entering, then quietly prepared to slip away.
For several days, it was the same; two White Lotuses a day was already Ling Wuce’s psychological limit...
"Wait, why did you refuse when that Quan fellow wanted to summon you back to the tower?"
Ling Wuce, acting nonchalant, shifted his gaze from the White Lotus, unable to suppress his curiosity.
Chicken Feather Gall, already scared to death, shivered when Ling Wuce called him, finally catching his breath once hearing his question.
Why?
This truly puzzled Ling Wuce. This little Guardian was absolutely timid; acquiring such a power meant living a carefree life in Ascension Tower for the rest of his days.
Yet, this timid person chose to remain here.
"The East Sea Realm requires someone to guard it, and I think I can manage."
Chicken Feather Gall awkwardly smiled.
Ling Wuce gave a kind smile. Indeed, it was precisely this timid guy who twice led the entire city’s citizens to flee and twice evaded crises.
Once, during Han Yu’s fierce battle with the cultivators from Celestial City Peak, he led the people to the sea.
Once, during Han Yu’s intense fight against the soul division, he led the people into the mountains again.
One could say that the life and death of the Sea Stone City citizens depended on him leading them in their escape.
Now, if this little Guardian were to announce that everyone should pack up their belongings, the citizens of the entire city would unconditionally trust him and respond immediately.
