Chapter 492: Chapter 251: The Death of Zhang Tu, Halfcut Jade Arm_2
Han Yi used up 100,000 top-grade spirit stones to set up this formation within 10 miles; it was not an exaggeration to call it a money-devouring beast.
As for top-grade spirit stones, although they could also be used, they would require ten pieces. Even with Bao Zhe Sheng’s status, he only had eight top-grade spirit stones in his Qiankun Ring, which wasn’t enough to form the array. So Han Yi simply used all top-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, this time, Han Yi had learned his lesson. He didn’t move Bao Zhe Sheng’s top-grade spirit stones into his own Qiankun Ring to avoid triggering the ancient corpse’s mutation again.
This formation was on the same level as the Xuandan Sect’s Sect Guardian Array, the Zhou Heavenly Xuangang Array. However, Han Yi only set up a smaller version of it, and it took him just an hour to complete.
Then, he stood at the core of the formation on an immortal cliff, waiting for Zhang Tu and the grey slave to enter the trap.
Two days later.
An immortal boat suddenly came to a halt from an extreme speed. Han Yi glanced up, seeing a silver immortal boat above his head. This immortal boat was also a top-grade artifact level boat. From Bao Zhe Sheng’s memory, he knew that this boat, called the Silver Depths Immortal Boat, was produced by the Jiuding Sect themselves.
The immortal boat stopped, and two cultivators appeared – Grey Slave and a man wearing a black robe. He looked about 35 or 36 years old, with an average-looking face that exuded a touch of coldness. It was none other than Zhang Tu.
Though it was the first time Han Yi met Zhang Tu face-to-face, he had already glimpsed Zhang Tu’s appearance and aura from the soul shadows of the Tuoba brothers, Zhang Hai, Zhang Jin, and Bao Zhe Sheng. It was no exaggeration to say that for Han Yi, aside from Zhang Tu himself, he was the one who understood him the most in this world.
After storing away the Silver Depths Immortal Boat, Zhang Tu descended but didn’t come too close. He hovered outside the immortal cliff, his divine sense sweeping in all directions. However, he didn’t find any anomalies.
From Bao Zhe Sheng’s memory, Han Yi also knew about Zhang Tu’s cautious character, which was not inferior to his own.
A Fourth-stage Array Method was undetectable even by Golden Core Peak cultivators. This was one of the reasons why Han Yi chose this specific formation.
“Zhang Tu, Soul Hall’s Soul Seed Hua Tianyu will pass by the Immortal Cliff tomorrow. As long as you make a move, the promise of the Supreme Order will be fulfilled. Can you agree?”
With his hands behind his back, Han Yi’s face flashed a hint of coldness as he spoke directly to Zhang Tu hundreds of meters away.
Of course, both Grey Slave and Zhang Tu were just being fooled by Han Yi. Hua Tianyu did exist in Soul Hall, but the timing was completely made up. Hua Tianyu appeared in the Yu State Immortal City half a month ago, engaging in a battle with Jiuding Sect’s disciple before retreating.
Han Yi used this excuse just to convince Zhang Tu on the surface.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tu slowly approached and landed at the edge of the immortal cliff. Instead of responding, his eyes flickered with a strange light as he looked at Bao Zhe Sheng, his tone frosty.
“How do you know about the Tai Yin True Body?”
Regarding the ‘Tai Yin True Body,’ Zhang Tu had only mentioned it to his father Zhang Hai. He had never disclosed it to anyone else, even suspecting that Yu Ling’s breakthrough and joining the Creation Gate might not make it public. Once this heaven-defying physique was revealed, it would definitely attract targeted killings from Spirit Transformation experts.
Zhang Tu hadn’t told anyone a key detail — not even Zhang Hai knew that the Tai Yin True Body could be used to steal a portion of its characteristics by dual cultivating with it before awakening and condensing the Taiming Body.
Moreover, after awakening, the Tai Yin True Body could be used to refine Tai Yin True Pills after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. These pills, surpassing Pill Runes yet not reaching the level of Immortal Pills, were considered half-immortal pills.
Such pills were considered treasures even to Spirit Transformation Experts, and their emergence would provoke a struggle among them.
Zhang Tu wasn’t sure if Lord Heavenly knew about the secrecy of the True Pill, but he kept it a secret to use the true pill to make a breakthrough in the future.
This was his second option.
However, when one of Bao Zhe Sheng’s dying followers mentioned the four shocking words, ‘Tai Yin True Body,’ Zhang Tu almost killed him on the spot. Having remembered that Bao Zhe Sheng also knew about it, he rushed over without delay, even putting the plan against Daqian Xuandan Sect temporarily on hold.
Zhang Tu had already made up his mind to kill Bao Zhe Sheng, eliminating the one who knew about the Tai Yin True Body.
However, how to kill him still needed careful planning.
Han Yi sneered coldly.
“How I knew about it isn’t the key. The key is that if you help me kill Hua Tianyu, this matter will be over.”
“Well?”
Without hesitation, Zhang Tu nodded: “Alright.”
He didn’t want to argue with someone who was about to die.
Zhang Tu slowly flew towards the immortal cliff. When they were a hundred meters apart, Han Yi’s mouth suddenly revealed a cold, chilling smile.
“Lord Heavenly asked me to send you his regards.”
Zhang Tu was slightly stunned, his thoughts surging wildly in that instant, sensing an unexpected event that transcended his own expectations had already occurred..
