Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 653 - 556: Phantom Law

Despite feeling very worried inside, Linglong could only watch Zhao Yi’s back with concern as he commanded. She turned back to the royal palace to handle the consensus. The destruction and impact brought about by this event were far greater than Linglong imagined, so much so that as she began to deal with the documents and summaries, the situation gradually blew up.

After saying goodbye to Linglong, Zhao Yi changed his appearance and strolled through the capital city. He wanted to see what people were thinking, discussing, and concluding about this rebellion.

"This Devouring Beast this time is an invincible existence. Even the capital might not defeat it. We should plan ahead."

"If even the capital can’t escape, do you think you can run away? Besides, the cosmos is in a cycle of life and death. Except for the new world, other worlds will be destroyed sooner or later. I think we should just stay in the New World and leave it to fate!"

As he walked along, there were all kinds of remarks, and people were discussing the future of the cosmos and the new world. However, there were also discordant voices, blaming Zhao Yi for doing some unethical deeds that led to this situation. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal was furious after hearing this and secretly used its powers to douse the other party with water.

"Why bother with this!"

"Clearly, they’re incompetent. They’re relying on the new world for protection, but they show no gratitude and even slander you. Not killing them is already a concession!"

"Whether human or cultivator, they are the same, filled with the seven emotions and six desires. Otherwise, why would we need magic and the law? The purpose is to cut off those unwanted thoughts. Besides, as the cosmos undergoes transformation, people with such mindsets will eventually be eliminated."

The majority’s support and understanding filled Zhao Yi with confidence. He focused on the future and didn’t bother with these few dissenting voices.

After a simple meal, Zhao Yi calculated the time, then went to the forest to wait.

"Young man, you’re very punctual!"

An old and wise voice appeared behind Zhao Yi. He turned around to find an old man dressed in white clothes and shoes, with white hair and a mustache standing not far away, smiling kindly at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi didn’t know who the visitor was, but he knew this wasn’t an enemy, as there was no murderous intent from the other side.

Just as Zhao Yi was about to speak, a dozen identical old men appeared around him, suddenly attacking Zhao Yi.

"Master, be careful!"

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal exclaimed, ready to defend and counterattack, but Zhao Yi stood still without any intention to retaliate.

In an instant, the elders who rushed in front of Zhao Yi disappeared.

"Such courage! Such wisdom!" The old man couldn’t help but praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I’m just not sure what your intention is by creating so many illusions, old sir?"

The old man hadn’t expected Zhao Yi to see through it at a glance. After hesitating, he revealed his true identity.

He was the Heavenly Dao Will, the Phantom Law, from thirty thousand miles away. He had come today to tell Zhao Yi.

By using the Human Emperor Bell’s chime, one could temporarily put the Heart-eating Worm to sleep, but you must strike the Human Emperor Bell three hundred times in a quarter of an hour to achieve this effect.

"From the way you speak, it seems the Heart-eating Worm’s issue can’t be solved anytime soon. If it could be solved by tomorrow, you wouldn’t be telling me this."

"You’re right, because I only know who has the solution, but I don’t know it myself."

"Old sir, do you elders all like to take detours? You’re really hard to follow!"

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal appeared mid-air with a flash of purple light and mocked the other party.

"When you’re old, it’s like this. To get to the point, Clone Fourteen will soon come to look for you. When the time comes, you must absorb Clone Fourteen, so you can acquire all the magical knowledge inside it, and the way to break the issue will be among them!"

As the old man spoke, his body faded.

"For just those two sentences, you made it so cumbersome!"

"I also wanted to meet Zhao Yi, to get acquainted, so the law of my world can continue in the future. Farewell."

The old man disappeared, and Zhao Yi glanced at the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.

"He came here as a phantom. Plus, the old man is of good temperament, otherwise, you’d have been beaten up by now. You shouldn’t talk like this."

Zhao Yi did not return to the royal palace but went directly to where those controlled by the Heart-eating Worms were held.

When people saw Zhao Yi coming, they all knelt down in salute.

"You must retreat immediately, to a distance of three miles away. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach!"

"But, my king, what if there’s danger."

"It’s only me who kills. Who dares to kill me? Stand down!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yi was well aware that the Human Emperor Bell was immensely powerful, and since he hadn’t used it this way before, he had to ensure the guards stayed far away to avoid unnecessary casualties.

At this moment, as those people saw Zhao Yi arriving, they opened their eyes one by one, their gazes hollow, emanating an evil aura.

"Zhao Yi! You cannot kill us! Why not set us free, and we can serve you!"

Zhao Yi did not respond. With a gentle wave of his left hand, the Human Emperor Bell appeared in small form in front of him. Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yi struck it directly with his hand, and an ancient and far-reaching sound echoed in the air.

"Ah!"

The Heart-eating Worms let out a miserable scream, struggling continuously. Seeing the effectiveness of a single strike, Zhao Yi kept striking the Human Emperor Bell, and the Heart-eating Worms’ struggle grew weaker and weaker, until finally, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and only then did Zhao Yi notice his hands were slightly red.

In mid-air, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal appeared, spitting out clean water to wash Zhao Yi’s hands. It took a full fifteen minutes for Zhao Yi’s hands to return to normal.

"I didn’t expect the Human Emperor Bell to exhaust so much Spiritual Power. If it weren’t for being the master of the New World, I might have fallen into eternal slumber before putting the Heart-eating Worms to sleep."

Zhao Yi couldn’t help but mock himself.

"Master, it’s mainly because you don’t use it often. As you become more proficient, it will naturally be fine. Moreover, these guys can sleep for three months, enough time to wait for Clone Fourteen!"

Right now, Zhao Yi was unable to determine the true location of the Nether Tree. Even if determined, he couldn’t take the initiative to challenge it alone due to insufficient strength, so he could only wait passively.

Leaving the basement, Zhao Yi saw Linglong waiting anxiously.

The sudden resonating chime of the Human Emperor Bell made her think a major event had occurred. She rushed there but was stopped by the captain, knowing that Zhao Yi was doing something significant. Worried, she paced back and forth, so much so that had Zhao Yi not appeared, Linglong would have vented her anxiety by punching someone.

"My king! Was everything successful? You really scared me!"

"Don’t mention that for now. Check on the unconscious guards!"

Even though the distance was sufficient, the power of the Human Emperor Bell was too great, causing most guards to pass out. However, upon inspection, Zhao Yi found there was no major issue, which brought a slight relief to his heart.

On the way, Zhao Yi laid everything out for Linglong to hear, which made her heart, once relaxed, tense up again.

"I have something to discuss with you. The new world has now expanded by nearly eight hundred thousand miles, and many new families and new sects have settled there. I want to go take a look."

The issue with the Heart-eating Worms couldn’t be resolved for now, and with Zhao Yi already familiar with the capital thorough, he proposed a new plan.
