At this moment, Chasing Soul had no choice but to swallow his grievances.

It was so damn frustrating!

The battle in White Emperor City wasn’t too intense yet, at least the fighting was limited to the vicinity of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, so White Emperor City was relatively safe.

But it wasn’t too safe either; as the battle expanded, this place would sooner or later become an asura arena.

If you don’t want to die, you can’t stay in White Emperor City for long.

When he arrived, Ou Mingdong and Su Wanjun were already preparing to lead a group of cultivators to relocate, including not only cultivators from the Dragon and Phoenix Palace but also those from various nearby sects, even ordinary civilians.

But none of this was the main point; the point was that as soon as he reached the vicinity of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, he got beaten up!

If it had been people from Yama Hall hitting him, it’d be understandable, but unexpectedly, it was people from the Celestial Dao Sect who attacked him.

Seven or eight reckless newcomers, completely unfamiliar faces, didn’t say a word before hitting him, catching him completely off guard.

"You don’t recognize me?"

Chasing Soul fought while retreating and couldn’t help but ask.

"Recognize you? How could we not?"

One of the cultivators sneered.

Chasing Soul became furious instantly, "You recognize me and still hit me?"

"You’re a demon from Yama Hall! Die, bastard!"

After saying that, the group unleashed a star river again, overwhelming Chasing Soul into a confused state.

Me? A demon?

I’m here to help, damn it.

But clearly, the other side didn’t believe his explanation, including the people from Yama Hall, who mistook him for a split soul.

"We’re here to assist you!"

Nine figures pursued, and they started fighting without a word, making it impossible for him to argue.

"I’ve already called for reinforcements; soon, more of our people will come to help."

A cultivator from Yama Hall even turned back to inform Chasing Soul.

No wonder more and more people were gathering here to fight; they wanted to trap the Celestial Dao Sect people here.

Chasing Soul got a headache suddenly.

What should he do?

Waiting for more Yama Hall people to gather meant not only would the Celestial Dao Sect be trapped, but he wouldn’t be able to escape either.

If he were mistaken as a split soul and taken back, that would really be a big joke.

The battlefield was a mess with a dozen silhouettes intertwined, sometimes engaging in close combat, sometimes pulling back to launch attacks from afar.

The battle line was stretching longer and longer, and the noise was getting louder and louder, shaking the mountains so much it couldn’t describe the current battle status—the ground was cracking amidst deafening booms.

Mountains in the distance were also collapsing under the aftermath.

The Dragon and Phoenix Palace was particularly tragic, with its massive palace gate destroyed by the earthquake, and its halls leaning as if to fall; if the disciples hadn’t left in time amidst the chaotic fight, many would have died or been injured even by the aftermath alone.

Gradually, the Celestial Dao Sect side started to fall behind, continually retreating under the successive offensives.

This has always been Celestial Dao Sect’s weakness; in the Initial Realm of the Divine Platform stage, their cultivators were naturally weaker than the opponents.

There’s no help for it; Yama Hall took shortcuts, you could say they were crafty!

Take the past split souls, doctors, and such seven people, for example, they were all Initial Realm cultivators, but because of their unique cultivation techniques, they each had their special abilities.

These abilities were something that shouldn’t be touched upon until entering the Dao level, yet they managed to exploit it.

So, Yama Hall’s base advantage absolutely trumped Celestial Dao Sect’s.

Chasing Soul even saw quite a few bizarre abilities, like cultivators using ghost shadows as mediums, turning the Ghostly Realm into something sleazy like seduction magic.

Who the hell would react to this bunch of dark, waist-twisting dance moves?

Even more bizarre, one cultivator had the ability to share wounds with an opponent, and as a result, the shared opponent got attacked by their own people, dragging himself down with him, ultimately resulting in both dying.

Yama Hall’s techniques could be described as a big melting pot, truly all-embracing—what bizarre people have what bizarre abilities.

Even the split soul himself cultivated something rather useless.

What to do? Help them or not?

Helping them was equivalent to helping himself, or he could just turn around and leave them be.

Chasing Soul pondered on the spot for a moment, then made a decision he deeply regretted later.

Cangxuan Finger!

In the rear of the Yama Hall people, under Chasing Soul’s multiple points with fingers, nine figures paused simultaneously, instantly disrupting the battlefield.

Everyone present was stunned!

Fight! What are you all looking at me for?

Not only were the cultivators from Yama Hall dumbfounded, but the ones from Celestial Dao Sect were also equally shocked, forgetting even to seize the opportunity to strike a foul blow.

One person’s mistake could be excused as missing a shot, but with nine people all hit by the trick, there was no explaining it away.

So the nine cultivators from Yama Hall instantly realized what was going on.

"So you betrayed us,"

It was the same cultivator who started the fight, speaking through clenched teeth.

The Cangxuan Finger trapped people, but it didn’t mean the other side had no countermeasures.

They were not as lame as split souls, countless bizarre abilities raining down on Chasing Soul from all directions, his Cangxuan Finger technique instantly dissipated, leaving him scrambling to escape.

The Celestial Dao Sect side noticed, but it was too late to make another dirty move.

The battle reignited, dragging Chasing Soul back into it.

What made him most uncomfortable at this moment wasn’t the onslaught from Yama Hall but rather the people from Celestial Dao Sect still hesitant to trust him when he approached.

Whenever he showed any intention of approaching, those cultivators attacked him just the same.

In such a precarious situation, it was he who had to struggle harder.

I came to show off my prowess, not to suffer.

Chasing Soul lamented endlessly, thinking he could make a splash here, but instead, he was left without benefit, suffering greatly.

If only Celestial Dao Sect had coordinated a bit, following the usual playbook, he could have restrained the adversaries, and they would have been easily defeated, wouldn’t they?

Now, nothing was achieved; neither side would let him go.

Chasing Soul was infuriated, burning with anger; finally, when he tried to do something good.

A well-intentioned intervention led to this outcome.

Never messing with other people’s business again, he swore.

From the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, two figures rose to the sky, observing from afar.

In the chaos, Chasing Soul caught sight of them, faintly recognizing them from seeing them in the Mo Family and Sea Stone City!

"Send a message to Han Yu, tell him to hurry up and come."

Fortunately, these two figures, turned out to be the Dragon and Phoenix Palace’s Great Elder and Sect Leader, recognized him as well.

"Don’t just stand there, hurry, if he doesn’t come now, there’s no point in coming."

Chasing Soul urged repeatedly.

The Celestial Dao Sect guys just weren’t cooperative; the longer this dragged on, the worse it would get.

As someone mentioned earlier, reinforcements would arrive soon.

Meaning some nearby State Prefecture had already fallen and been sacrificed.

Once those sacrificial cultivators came to help, both he and these disappointing allies would be wiped out together.

If they fell, White Emperor City would also be doomed.

This is the story of how Han Yu received the message.

When he arrived, the Dragon and Phoenix Palace was already destroyed by the battle’s aftershock, and the Great Elder and Sect Leader were looking at the Sect’s ruins from afar, full of mixed emotions.

After all, a thousand-year-old sect, wiped out just like that, to say it didn’t hurt would be a lie.

"At least you’re much better off than the Piaomiao Sect,"

Han Yu forced a bit of comfort, at least the Dragon and Phoenix Palace had no significant casualties, while the Piaomiao Sect almost got wiped out.

Chasing Soul’s sharp eyes caught sight of Han Yu the moment he arrived, finally feeling his heart settle.

This living King Yama, fortunately, didn’t show up late.

But in the next moment, eight streams of light streaked across the sky from afar, and his expression involuntarily twisted.

Damn, reinforcements for the other side had arrived.

"Save me!"

Chasing Soul’s shout echoed.
