Chapter 569: Chapter 512: Busy Hunting Heart Demons

"How is it you?"

"How is it you!"

Liu Zongyuan looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

This was simply uncanny. Wasn’t this guy supposed to have been abandoned and then chased by Xin Zui and the other old ghosts according to the split soul?

How could he still be running safely in this direction?

The group from the Celestial Dao Sect also looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that even with three Entering the Dao cultivators acting together, they couldn’t handle a little rascal?

So why were they dragging their families to hide from them?

Did that make Entering the Dao cultivators seem all show and no substance?

Or did their cultivation go to the dogs?

Han Yu was also greatly surprised, something was not right!

He had thrown Liu Zongyuan into the sea. Even if this guy had the luck of the devil and didn’t become fish food, he shouldn’t have been encountered here!

Moreover, based on the direction, he shouldn’t be this way!

"Are you Han Yu?"

The old Taoist scrutinized him continuously, his eyes bright and sharp, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

But after looking for a quarter of an hour, he not only couldn’t find a single clue, but also started to doubt.

How could such an unremarkable little guy escape from the hands of three Entering the Dao cultivators?

"Didn’t the split soul say you were being chased? How did you escape?"

Liu Zongyuan just happened to voice his doubt from the side.

"Well, that’s a long story, not something I can explain quickly."

"But they probably don’t have time to catch me now."

According to timing, those old fellows should be in a spin by now.

Just thinking about that scene made Han Yu chuckle uncontrollably, leaving Liu Zongyuan utterly bewildered.

"How about I give you a little gift?"

Han Yu suddenly spoke with a sly grin, as if a pillow had been offered when he wanted to get one over the old ghosts again and ran into this group of people.

If he didn’t take advantage of this, it would be a real waste.

With the Celestial Dao Sect creating chaos, those three old ghosts would definitely want to vomit blood.

...

Indeed, Xin Zui and his companions were about to cough up blood from anger.

Less than half a two-hour session into their insights, they already lost half of their power. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Now, as they opened their eyes one by one, the blessings of the heavens dissipated, the rain of golden lotus vanished, and even the sounds of heaven and earth gradually faded.

The good news was that Xin Zui’s Light Fixing Skill successfully deduced the next step.

Xin Yin advanced the Star-Picking Hand to the Heaven-Flipping Palm.

Wuyin’s Sound Domain gained several more tones, enhancing its power greatly.

The bad news was they all regretted it.

Despite the serendipitous deductions, the hardship they endured in their lengthy cultivation was no less than any rare opportunity.

To lose half their power just like that, who knew when they’d recover it?

Whether it was a loss or not, they couldn’t say, but their hearts were genuinely bleeding.

Gu Feng and the doctor were dumbstruck afresh. They couldn’t speak for others, but they genuinely suffered a blood loss, hearts bleeding to the point of wanting to die.

While others gained some insights, the two of them simply had a dream and lost half their cultivation without reason.

"That Heart Demon ran off with half our power, what should we do?"

Xin Yin was extremely anxious and hastily spoke.

"I perceived the Heart Demon appeared with the opportunity, it’s definitely that brat’s dirty trick."

Xin Zui recalled the oddity during his epiphany and became more convinced that it was caused by the Pills.

However, if that’s the case, then it’s even more outrageous.

Han Yu’s Pills horrifyingly could assist Entering the Dao cultivators in their path, and also inexplicably strip others of half their capability.

"What are we to do then?"

Wuyin was dejected beyond belief, losing half their power suddenly, who wouldn’t feel miserable?

"The urgent matter is first to recapture the Heart Demon, if capabilities can be seized by them, there might be a way to reclaim them!"

Xin Zui furrowed his brow tightly, speculating.

"This is troublesome indeed."

Xin Yin felt overtaken by a massive headache, with the vast and boundless Endless Sea Domain, hunting a Heart Demon down wasn’t a simple task.

And what about Han Yu?

Should they still capture him?

With this in mind, the three clenched their teeth simultaneously.

Damn, they were truly placed before a dilemma yet again.

Going after the Heart Demon would surely leave no time to handle Han Yu.

But if they captured Han Yu, naturally there’d be no time to manage their own Heart Demon.

After a moment of silence, only the sound of grinding teeth could be heard.

The group was about to chew their teeth to bits, their murderous intent towards Han Yu reaching its peak.

"Let’s capture the Heart Demon first and talk afterward."

Finally, after a moment, Xin Zui made the decision.

Catching Han Yu was important, but their own strength mattered more.

Even at their peak, they barely managed to let him escape, with half their power gone, it would be even more difficult to subdue him.

Xin Yin and Wuyin were shrouded in gloom, Xin Zui’s thought process wasn’t wrong. However, thinking about searching the fathomless sea for this creature, they felt quite distressed.

Smack!

The doctor snuck in a slap on himself, for not learning his lesson, for unnecessarily following here, for not getting to watch the show, for dreaming a dream, and then losing half his cultivation.

This place couldn’t stay, he thought of slipping away and seeking his Heart Demon alone, but Xin Zui and the other two spoke simultaneously.

"Wait!"

An ominous premonition arose immediately.

"Perfect, use your puppets to help us in the search."

That was it, sealed his fate, five people, five Heart Demons, scattered across the Endless Sea Domain, this massive workload would dry him out...

...

The Celestial Dao Sect was obviously very interested in Han Yu’s little gift.

Especially when Han Yu confidently claimed they would absolutely like it.

Only, Han Yu sold it with a twist at the end, or you could say he added a condition.

"Take me along when you lay low!"

Didn’t Liu Zongyuan say they had that sanctuary, absolutely capable of avoiding the Yama Hall?

In that case, let him tag along to hide and broaden his horizons.

The old Taoist frowned, glanced sideways at Liu Zongyuan with dissatisfaction.

He wasn’t even willing to take a clone from the split soul, naturally to avoid exposing the haven’s location.

Bringing Han Yu along would expose it all the same.

"You tricked me into seeking refuge in the sea back then."

Seeing the old Taoist’s reluctance, Han Yu also shot an unsatisfied glance at Liu Zongyuan.

"Then I won’t give the gift, and when those old ghosts from the Yama Hall recover, you’ll be at a loss."

The old ghosts of the Yama Hall?

Had something happened to them?

Han Yu’s words implied that some significant change occurred over there.

It was indeed significant, losing half their power and having a chance to intercept their recovery.

If not for the sea being so vast and boundless, making the search exceedingly troublesome and with constant risks of encountering the old ghosts, he might even consider getting in on the action personally.

The Celestial Dao Sect group might just capture the Heart Demon to hide it, but if a Heart Demon landed in his hands, those three old ghosts could forget about recovery, and by then West River Slash would recklessly slash the Heart Demon into uselessness, recovery? Dream on!

The old Taoist seemed to sway immediately. If it was related to the Yama Hall, then it was something they could negotiate.

"My young friend, the gift you mention is related to Xin Zui and those old ghosts?"

The old Taoist couldn’t help but have his interest piqued, inquiring eagerly.

"Yes, if you have some luck, this gift is enough to make those three old monsters suffer greatly."

Han Yu spoke with a cheerful smile.

This left the Celestial Dao Sect crowd in awe, and for a moment they all looked towards the old Taoist, waiting for him to make a decision...
