Chapter 630: Chapter 573: Infighting
When Han Yu’s heart was pounding, the old Daoist’s intervention successfully broke Mu Zili’s momentum.
This was the only serious thing he had done since getting to know the old Daoist.
In just a quarter of an hour, Han Yu endured Mu Zili’s oppressive aura while watching the old Daoist doing what he should have done.
As the old Daoist vividly recounted Han Yu’s previous words, Mu Zili’s expression turned rather unpleasant.
So it really was that troublesome junior brother who did it!
As the old Daoist went further into the details, Mu Zili’s expression gradually deepened.
Information about Yama Hall’s involvement and the Five Envoys of Biluo continually intertwined.
It wasn’t long before a key conclusion could be drawn - something big was happening over there.
But this so-called Tribulation Thunder blocking the path made Mu Zili strangely re-evaluate Han Yu.
What kind of mischief is this kid up to? He can actually tease a simple Tribulation Thunder into a red Tribulation Thunder?
Doesn’t this mean that both sides are now blocked by the Tribulation Thunder?
Though it was an inappropriate time, Mu Zili inexplicably wanted to laugh.
Saying so, this outsider had inadvertently been of great help.
Whether intentional or not, the fact was he had stalled Yama Hall.
"What should I do with you?"
Mu Zili suddenly spoke, and in an instant, suppressed Han Yu’s aura dissipated, restoring his freedom.
What to do?
After delivering the message, of course, I’m leaving, oh right, and also collecting what Su Xiaoxiao promised to give.
"Just give me five Inquiry Stones. That’s the reward Su Xiaoxiao promised, and he told me to ask his good friend Mu Zili for them, senior if you give me the items, then send me back, that’s all."
Good friend?
Mu Zili just felt a toothache, but the old Daoist laughed unkindly.
Good friends, my foot, I’m just the senior who cleans up his messes.
Especially when Han Yu didn’t mention the Inquiry Stones, Mu Zili suddenly remembered that his men were still running around like headless chickens searching for this guy!
This darn kid had gotten them all riled up, but here he was gambling with his deceased master’s friend.
"Five Inquiry Stones?"
Mu Zili looked at him half-smiling, since it was brought up, he had no choice but to ask.
"After you came in, you conquered two Enlightenment Towers and stole eighteen Inquiry Stones. What should I do with you?"
Damn! I forgot about that.
He didn’t expect Mu Zili to get the news so fast, so does this mean he’s caught?
Then he turned his gaze to the old Daoist beside him, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"I can compensate you, this senior lost two hundred and fifty Inquiry Stones to me, take it from there when the time comes."
Mu Zili finally understood why he had a persistent bad feeling, the root was here!
He gritted his teeth and looked back at his master, who stood there sheepishly, silent, just smiling awkwardly.
But what could he do, he couldn’t possibly scold his master in front of an outsider.
So he viciously glared at Han Yu, his gaze as if looking at a fraud stealing an old man’s life savings.
Han Yu felt so wronged, it’s only fair to talk it out, all along it was the old Daoist relentlessly not letting him go.
He was forced to win so many stones.
"Come back with me!"
Mu Zili angrily waved his hand, a Celestial Chasm appeared, not giving any chance for refusal, Han Yu was the first to be thrown in involuntarily.
The old Daoist had a slightly better treatment, being "politely invited" in, then when no one was around, Mu Zili gritted his teeth...
...
Several days passed without any response, and the people from Celestial Dao Sect waiting in the hall were getting increasingly anxious.
"Could it be he’s dead in there?"
One of the five couldn’t help but speak, after all, Han Yu relied on Wushang Daoist’s help to get in, and he was already half-dead.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No."
From Han Yu’s physical condition, his recovery ability was strong, not saying how long it would take to fully recover, but delivering a message didn’t need him fully healed.
She had previously instructed him to find anyone once in and mention Mu Zili’s name, it should suffice.
"Could he have been killed before he had a chance to speak?"
Another person worriedly asked, the little world was different, Han Yu stood out quite a bit there, not only Celestial Dao Sect, even others might attack him should they encounter him.
This was also Su Xiaoxiao’s concern, she had forgotten that Han Yu was essentially an outsider, very sensitive in the little world.
If he accidentally got blocked by other cultivators, he might be in big trouble.
Thinking of this made Su Xiaoxiao restless, if something happened to Han Yu inside, they could only wait until the other side took the initiative to contact them.
...
Qiao Po and others were already persuading Lei Wang to proactively contact the Holy Sect at this moment.
No other choice, days dragged on while Lei Wang had not come up with any solution.
If they truly waited for the other side to discover, not only Lei Wang would be in serious trouble, all of them might be doomed.
This was initially Lei Wang’s self-inflicted trouble, why should they all shoulder it together.
If Lei Wang had honestly fought hard against the opponent from the start, even mutual destruction was better than the current situation.
Should the other side find them idle here doing nothing, they would face wrath then.
The three of Xin Zui were huddled to the side, having already sensed something amiss.
Never mind the other four, these days they also lived in fear, afraid of being thrown out as scapegoats someday.
"Lei Wang, you can’t be so selfish."
Bian Zhuang’s childlike body trembled, speaking in anger.
"Indeed, you have no solution to the current predicament."
Shang Di couldn’t help but echo.
With two people speaking out, Zui Rong and Qiao Po joined the criticism.
Although Lei Wang’s position was higher, and his cultivation stronger.
Yet currently, they were four against one, enough to be a counterbalance.
Even the four decided if Lei Wang remained unyielding, they wouldn’t mind using necessary means.
"Are you all going to rebel against me?"
Lei Wang’s face turned beet red, chest heaving with anger.
Already plagued by worries, now they were teaming up against him!
"Rebellion? Who do you think you are, we are loyal to the Holy Sect, not you personally."
Bian Zhuang retaliated sarcastically, if it were at the Holy Sect, it would be enough to trip him.
But such harmless antics he didn’t care much.
"If you seek a fight, we four won’t mind teaming up against you."
Zui Rong stepped forward, face darkened.
Offending Lei Wang was preferable to facing the Holy Sect’s wrath, an easy choice.
They didn’t mind offending a reckless Lei Wang!
"I intend to contact the Holy Sect, you’re to step aside or face our united front."
Bian Zhuang unfolded his aura with icy hostility.
The atmosphere turned tense, Xin Zui three’s faces changed, quickly retreating.
If the adults fought, they didn’t want collateral damage.
Internally, they too preferred contacting the Holy Sect, not their mistake, no need to suffer with Lei Wang.
Moreover, being in trouble, they’d rather not endure it with him.
Wishful thinking!
If not for the power gap, they’d gladly join the four, supporting them.
Rather than standing at a distance.
"Must you proceed like this?"
Lei Wang’s face was extremely unsightly, his cultivation higher than anyone present.
Yet the four united could indeed hold him back.
If ruthless, they might even kill him, blaming him entirely afterward.
No fighting!
Lei Wang weighed pros and cons, stepping down from his position miserably, revealing a mirror behind him...
