Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1415: Reeling in the Net

As the Man and Beast as One secret art started to spread, it didn’t matter if it was the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the various factions, Ge Qingzhu, Sun Haiwei, or the others... They realized it was too late to stop it.

Even so, they still had to pass down the order to restrict the use of the technique. They would gather the jade scrolls of anyone who would be willing to give theirs up and destroy them completely.

Of course, they knew it wasn’t possible to stop the spread of the technique, but they also knew they had to strictly enforce the restriction as much as they could. After receiving conclusive evidence, cultivators of several smaller factions were surrounded before they were forced to hand over the jade scrolls.

The True Immortals of the various factions also had to demonstrate how destructive the evil art was, in order to get rid of the hidden intentions in the minds of those who might still want to hide the jade scrolls.

Even so... Their intention was met with hostility and there were countless accusations about their intentions.

The great factions didn’t care about those troublemakers and they had already made the purpose of their restriction clear. They declared that if anyone didn’t know what was good for them, they couldn’t blame them for bullying the weak.

In the future, if anyone wanted to spread the technique, they would have to do so secretly. The moment they were discovered, they would be attacked on all sides.

After dealing with the scrolls, splitting up the rest of the Yuhai Sect’s foundations was left. It was especially so for the rumored ruined Elysium that was supposed to be a part of the Spirit Dusk World’s fragment which they haven’t found.

It might be because they made the other factions give up the scrolls, but the Elysiums didn’t continue pushing for the other factions’ obedience. Instead, they stated that anyone who obtained anything wouldn’t be forced to give them up and there shouldn’t be incidents of killing and looting.

Even so... The wandering cultivators or those who came from smaller factions failed to contend against those from the major factions. They might find it a little unfair, but they should already be thanking their lucky stars that the great powers weren’t banding together to suppress them all.

Of course, it would be difficult to prevent hidden battles for treasures but everyone was used to situations like that. If anyone really obtained a precious treasure, no one would give a shit about the rules set by the large factions...

...

By the time Sun Haiwei descended to take charge of the territory of the Yuhai Sect to ensure the safety of everyone present, the area was deathly silent.

Due to her injuries, she was left behind by the others as they raced to find the foreign True Immortal and prepare for battle outside the heavenly screen.

Even if she was injured, she was still a True Immortal at the end of the day. Her combat abilities were affected, but she wasn’t completely helpless.

As the Martial Dipper Realm experts searched for opportunities in the remains of the Yuhai Sect, a massive battle erupted above the heavenly screen!

The black cloaked expert didn’t give a shit about Zhang Xuansheng, a mere fourth tier True Immortal. Since he learned that Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia had left the Spirit Luxuriant World, he wasn’t afraid of anything.

Naturally, he knew that it wasn’t possible for him to fight all the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World. However, he was confident that without the 2 monsters, he would be able to escape without any trouble!

That was also why he dared to sneak attack Sun Haiwei earlier.

When he appeared earlier, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World already had guesses of his identity. When Sun Haiwei and the others were holding him back in the Spirit Luxuriant World, Zhang Xuansheng laid down a trap outside the heavenly screen.

The experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World wouldn’t be satisfied with getting rid of the Yuhai Sect... They wanted to get rid of the hidden dangers once and for all.

Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue leaving the Spirit Luxuriant World was to bait out the hidden expert in the first place. If not for the fact that Zhang Xuansheng had already become a high-level True Immortal, the Spirit Luxuriant World wouldn’t have a single expert of that level.

That was their intention, but the trap was as clear as day. It might be an obvious plot against the hidden expert supporting the Yuhai Sect, but he walked into it anyway.

The cloak on the mysterious expert was clearly no ordinary treasure. After wrapping it around himself, the mysterious expert arrived in the void outside the heavenly screen.

As soon as he appeared, a light flashed through his eyes and he captured everything that was happening around him instantly.

“Heh... I wonder if I’m just unlucky, or if all of you had been preparing for a long time, but good job catching up to me!” The black cloaked man wore a mask that could hide his appearance and could express simple expressions. Through it, his tone of mockery was still clear.

In the void several tens of miles away, Yang Taihe appeared in the void and stared at the black cloaked expert with a serious gaze. In a low voice, he asked, “Who are you? What enmity do you have with my Spirit Luxuriant World for you to spread such an evil art?”

While he was speaking, the void beneath them started to ripple.

Every True Immortal above the second tier was rushing towards them as they spoke, and the furthest was only several hundred thousand miles away.

Other than Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue, the True Immortals of the Tongyou Institution had already formed an inescapable net around the world, waiting to capture the mysterious expert backing the Yuhai Sect.

The black cloaked expert roared with laughter and didn’t seem to care too much about their presence. He wasn’t worried that he was surrounded.

Yang Taihe’s tone sank even further and he growled, “What are you laughing at?”

“All of you already knew my purpose, but you’re still asking me anyway. Stop insulting your intelligence.” The black cloaked man stopped laughing abruptly and spat.

Zhang Xuansheng, who was the only high level Elysium True Immortal, approached them as they spoke.

However, the black cloaked man seemed indifferent to his arrival. Falling into some sort of trance, the black cloaked expert mumbled, “Your Spirit Luxuriant World barely ascended for more than 30 years. For you to grow so rapidly, your growth is comparable to other Spirit Worlds if they had 300 years... Someone hired me to stunt your growth.”

Yang Taihe and Zhang Xuansheng heaved a sigh of relief, but they quickly followed up with another question, “Who hired you?”

“Do you really think I’ll tell you something like that?” The black cloaked expert sneered.

Before he could continue, Zhang Xuansheng chuckled to interrupt him, “It’s a shame... Your plan to stunt our growth didn’t succeed. True Immortal Little Shang brought back another world fragment, pushing 7 continents to the state of perfection...”

The originally haughty black cloaked expert stared at Zhang Xuansheng as the smile on his face froze. His expression sank slowly.
