Han Yu seemed to have no choice now as he also saw Chang Gen leading an overwhelming number of cultivators coming their way.
Seeing the countless crowd, Han Yu’s face changed for a moment.
"The Celestial Dao Sect wouldn’t have brought all their forces over, would they?"
No wonder Han Yu thought so; the scale of this gathering was enough to frighten him.
Let alone activating the Forest of Myriad Phenomena, even if he put his life on the line to launch the Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens, he couldn’t break through.
There were just too many people!
Did this group abandon the Central Continent?
Just handed it over to the Yama Hall like that?
As Chang Gen and his companions strode in, they were bustling with urgency, clearly rushing without rest.
Upon entering, they exchanged a glance with Lu Yuan and suddenly ascended, their eyes sweeping towards the high platform.
Cold eyes sized up Han Yu before speaking in a chilly voice, "Why hasn’t it started?"
"Elder Chang Gen, we just arrived as well."
Mu Zili gave Han Yu a look before slowly speaking.
This clearly gave Han Yu ample time to buffer, and that glance urged him to get moving quickly.
With Chang Gen and the other four teaming up, Han Yu would be dead in an instant.
He couldn’t afford any missteps.
A voice as faint as a mosquito buzzed hastily in Han Yu’s ear, "You can only gamble whether the sundial holds danger; if Chang Gen and the others act, you’re dead."
To achieve this, Mu Zili had already been as considerate as possible, potentially even risking himself.
Aside from Han Yu, he himself was similarly just a pawn in all this.
Su Xiaoxiao had once asked him, feeling that the Celestial Dao Sect didn’t seem to differ from the Yama Hall.
He had responded that there truly was no difference.
The Yama Hall could sacrifice, and the Celestial Dao Sect could too.
Even Mu Zili himself could be among the sacrificial ranks.
Damned bastards, this feeling of having one’s life out of control made Han Yu bitterly resentful.
"Keep your life, once our strength is up, we’ll take them down together!"
The Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but console, though it was still a Spirit Body, Han Yu’s Sea of Consciousness also supplied its power, truly exposing it when the time came, it could easily join Han Yu in battle.
But now, there’s no way to fight!
The gap is so huge that putting everything on the line would be futile.
Han Yu calmly walked to the sundial, the situation was dictated by others, and he had no choices.
"It’s not necessarily death; if they wanted to kill you, there was no need to wait until now."
The Artifact Spirit speculated with a somber face in the Sea of Consciousness.
If they wanted to kill Han Yu, he could have been killed at any time while in the Central Continent; there was no reason to wait until now.
Moreover, Chang Gen and his companions’ attitude revealed quite a bit.
They knew Han Yu wasn’t one of theirs!
"I can also sense it."
Han Yu could also detect their attitude, seeming from the very start they treated him as dispensable.
If he were truly their backup plan, the treatment should not be this poor.
"These bastards, could they be using me to bait Yama Hall?"
Suddenly enlightened, Han Yu realized he and the Celestial Dao Sect were both aware of this, but the Yama Hall wasn’t!
Getting him over here, could they be intending to use him as bait?
The pressing question was, with him as bait, where was the trap?
Han Yu involuntarily glanced at the sundial...
Su Xiaoxiao and the old Taoist blended among the cultivators, their expressions somewhat peculiar, especially Su Xiaoxiao, who looked upwards at the high platform with a grim face.
From the Southern Border where Chang Gen strangely ordered everyone to move here, he had felt something was amiss.
Now seeing Mu Zili and Han Yu alone on the high platform, this feeling grew stronger.
"Is my senior brother going to be alright?"
The old Taoist looked gloomy, glanced at Chang Gen and shook his head slightly, "I don’t know, the one from Qionghua Hall probably won’t dare, but I’m just worried about these few daring!"
"And if something happens, what do we do?"
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but speak softly, always feeling Mu Zili’s situation wasn’t favorable.
If something does happen...
"Don’t worry, your senior brother isn’t as weak as you think."
The old Taoist spoke heavily, unclear if he was comforting Su Xiaoxiao or himself.
Han Yu’s hands were already touching the sundial, when suddenly a immense aura came rushing forth.
The enormous pressure almost made him kneel immediately, yet Han Yu bit his teeth and endured, stubbornly managing to rotate the entire sundial.
Rumble!
The sound of bones struggling under strain began to echo as the sundial spun rapidly, a beam of light shot from it towards the deep sea.
At the same time, the entire stone platform suddenly lit up like daylight.
It was rising!
As Lian Buyu led the cultivators from the Endless Sea Domain halfway through their charge, his expression suddenly changed.
Sure enough, it had begun!
"You keep leading people forward, I’ll go ahead with the other three Hall Masters."
Time couldn’t afford them delay, so Lian Buyu promptly spoke to Hun Bugui before swiftly wrapping Shi Xiu and the other two in a breath.
"Open!"
An ancient well immediately emerged and four figures leaped in unison!
When they reappeared, they had already crossed over hundreds of miles.
Precisely when the stone platform continuously protruded out of the water.
Lian Buyu stared intensely ahead, quickly turning back to instruct, "Don’t let this thing go up!"
With that, he had already vanished from where he stood.
Han Yu struggled to free himself from the sundial, yet his hands seemed glued, firmly adhering to the stone surface.
He knew the extent of his power, yet he couldn’t move it a bit.
It was evident how terrifying this sundial’s power was.
Especially since, this thing had started to drain his life force!
Damned bastards, no wonder they wouldn’t let others come, turns out this is why it’s so deadly.
Mu Zili watched with furrowed brows, just about to step forward when Chang Gen’s cold laugh rang in his ear.
"You best not meddle in matters you shouldn’t; keep watch up there."
Watch?
Why keep watch?
Soon enough, Mu Zili understood, as Lian Buyu was already charging in, thirty zhang of Dharma Aspect smashed onto the sea surface, instantly knocking flying nearly a hundred cultivators, then he continued towards the stone platform.
But Chang Gen and others were already waiting, each displaying their Dharma Aspect, their weapons transforming and carried by the Dharma Aspect.
Dense clouds filled the sky, with rolling thunders falling as the three zhang height of Chang Gen’s Dharma Aspect soared.
The battle of five against one erupted immediately.
Instantly causing turmoil on the sea surface, submerging the nearby islands in the next moment.
Han Yu had never so eagerly anticipated seeing the cultivators of Yama Hall, especially watching such an overwhelmingly strong figure disrupting the scene, fueling a bizarre desire to escape.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it’s the people of Yama Hall saving him?
"You better hurry and think of a way to save yourself!"
The Artifact Spirit suddenly spoke out, Han Yu’s life force was continuously being drained without halting.
If this goes on, it will be worse than opening the Forest of Myriad Phenomena.
"What can I think of?"
Han Yu was furious, his hands were bound and he couldn’t even take out a pill.
"I’ll go out!"
The Artifact Spirit directly grabbed the pills, ready to rush out.
"Absolutely not, if you expose yourself, we’re really doomed."
If the Artifact Spirit were exposed now, it would instantly become the target of both sides.
"But damn it, you’re becoming Yama Hall’s target."
The Artifact Spirit was furious, indeed after it spoke, Lian Buyu’s Dharma Aspect continuously tried to bypass others, attempting to attack the stone platform.
Damn! Turns out they were waiting for this.
Han Yu’s face went completely dark, damn it, so this is how the bait is used!
He was thoroughly the bait, just waiting for Yama Hall to take the bait!
Mu Zili understood as well, his expression changed, if Han Yu was the bait, he too was in a perilous situation.
