Chapter 613: The Backer of the Dark Holy Monarch

"Regardless, by eliminating the Dark Holy Monarch, the Heavenly Dao can be considered to have escaped a calamity," Venerable Xuandu said, changing the subject.

He was collaborating with Han Jue and did not want the other Saints to become wary of or hostile toward Han Jue because of this.

Since ancient times, there had been several instances where a certain Saint became too powerful and faced a combined attack from the other Saints of the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, Venerable Xuandu felt that the Sages were by no means Han Jue's match; he was simply afraid they would be seeking their own deaths.

"Indeed, as long as the Dark Holy Monarch is eliminated, anything is fine."

"Why do I feel like we weren't even needed?"

"How could we not be needed? If we hadn't asked our masters to take action and come here in person, Fellow Daoist Han wouldn't have dared to come, thinking it was a trap."

"Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Han is so powerful yet so cautious. How strange."

"Caution is good. Han Jue never takes the initiative to make enemies and only strikes when forced. This is something we should learn from. If we are united and strengthen the Heavenly Dao, our cultivation will surely rise. Perhaps if the Saints do not fight amongst themselves, it will lead to a better outcome."

The Sages conversed as they fled… Han Jue arrived before the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor and told him to immediately end the God Summoning Art and cut off the black vortex.

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor did as he was told and asked curiously, "What exactly happened? Why the rush?"

Han Jue replied, "I was just in a battle."

"With whom?"

"An existence that surpasses a Heavenly Dao Sage."

The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor was stunned.

He suddenly recalled that terrifyingly powerful aura from the last time he used the God Summoning Art.

Just what kind of existence was Han Jue?

After having the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor deactivate the black vortex of the God Summoning Art, Han Jue went to the Second Dao Field.

[The Chaos God's hatred toward you has increased. Current hatred degree: 6 stars]

Very good!

The book of misfortune must be put to use!

Han Jue cursed inwardly; to think that the Great Dao Spirit guarding the order of Chaos was actually the backer of the Dark Holy Monarch!

He didn't think too much about it. Regardless, the Chaos God was just a Great Dao Spirit and couldn't break into his Dao Field.

Inside the Daoist temple.

Han Jue released Han Tuo.

Han Tuo lay on the ground, unconscious. Han Jue waved his hand and pulled out a soul body.

It was precisely the White-robed person Han Tuo had encountered in the Guixu Divine Realm earlier.

This was only a Sub-Soul.

The White-robed person's expression was grave as he asked, "Who is Your Excellency? To be able to annihilate the Dark Holy Monarch… do you not know who stands behind him?"

Han Jue directly obliterated him. Since it wasn't the main body anyway, leaving it around would only invite trouble.

[Zhunti's hatred toward you has increased. Current hatred degree: 5 stars]

[Laozi has developed hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 1 star]

[Primordial Heavenly Venerate has developed hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 2 stars]

[Seven Dao Sages have developed hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 2 stars]

[Jade Bodhi has developed hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 3 stars]

[Empress Nuwa has developed hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 2 stars]

[Karma Heaven has developed hatred toward you. Current hatred degree: 4 stars]

…A series of hatred notifications began to pop up frantically before Han Jue's eyes, leaving him stunned.

A total of twenty-six mighty figures had developed hatred toward him, many of whom were names that appeared in Huaxia mythology.

What was going on?

Han Jue was startled.

He pulled up the portraits of these mighty figures to check and found that none of them were Creator Daoists, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

To be safe, Han Jue still used the Evolution Function.

"Can the mighty figures who just developed hatred toward me break through the Formation of my Dao Field?"

[200 billion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[No]

Han Jue relaxed completely.

After calming down, he figured it out.

Could it be that these mighty figures were the ones standing behind the Dark Holy Monarch?

Wait!

Then why did these mighty figures still help the Saints by restraining the existence behind the Dark Holy Monarch?

Was it a self-directed play?

The more Han Jue thought about it, the more terrified he became.

Could it be that the mighty figures originally wanted to use the Dark Holy Monarch's hand to annihilate the Sages and then shatter the Heavenly Dao?

Why would it be like this?

Han Jue couldn't understand it.

[Emperor of Heaven is sending you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

Seeing this notification, Han Jue did not agree immediately but instead asked, "Will there be any danger if I accept his Dream Message?"

[150 billion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[No]

Only then did Han Jue feel at ease and accepted Emperor of Heaven's Dream Message.

Within the dream, the two of them stood above the clouds.

Emperor of Heaven stared at Han Jue and asked in a low voice, "When did you attain the Freedom realm?"

To prevent the mighty figures from associating him with the Extreme Origin Great Dao, Han Jue said, "To tell you the truth, I was originally in the Freedom realm. This life as Han Jue is merely for tempering myself in the Immortal Realm."

Emperor of Heaven's brow furrowed tightly.

If what Han Jue said was true and they hadn't seen through him before, didn't that mean Han Jue's original body might be stronger than theirs?

Han Jue feigned composure. Emperor of Heaven was still his friend and hadn't developed hatred yet, so Han Jue wanted to hear what he had to say.

"You killed the Dark Holy Monarch; this is not a good thing," Emperor of Heaven said faintly.

Han Jue said, "I killed him for the sake of the Heavenly Dao. The other Saints begged me to act. Surely the mighty figures of the Guixu Divine Realm should protect us."

Emperor of Heaven said, "They will indeed protect you. Is it true that you only did it to protect the Heavenly Dao?"

"Otherwise?"

Emperor of Heaven stared intently at Han Jue.

Han Jue had his own guesses in his heart, but he didn't voice them, acting as if he didn't know that twenty-six mighty figures had developed hostility toward him.

"In the future, if the Heavenly Dao encounters danger, do not intervene. We will have arrangements."

Emperor of Heaven left those words and ended the dream.

Back in reality.

Han Jue opened his eyes and asked inwardly, "Is Emperor of Heaven also one of the backers of the Dark Holy Monarch?"

[150 billion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[Yes]

Han Jue's heart sank to the bottom.

"The reason these mighty figures are directing this play to destroy the Heavenly Dao is to overthrow the Dao Ancestor's lineage?"

Han Jue could only think of this reason.

[200 billion years of lifespan will be deducted. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[Yes]

Han Jue let out a long breath.

Being targeted by so many mighty figures was not a good thing. Han Jue's only advantage was his Dao Field; he couldn't easily go out anymore.

Those mighty figures didn't know that Han Jue had already guessed the truth, so they might not necessarily fall out with him directly. At most, they would have some reservations about his identity; Emperor of Heaven was the best example.

Han Jue's mind was in a mess.

What a mess this was.

[Empress Nuwa is sending you a Dream Message. Do you accept?]

Accept!

Han Jue entered a dream once again and saw Empress Nuwa.

The dream was set in the mountain range of Mount Buzhou, with magnificent scenery.

Empress Nuwa asked, "Han Jue, what is your relationship with the Dao Ancestor?"

As expected, another one here to speculate!

Han Jue said, "No relationship. Why do you ask?"

He feigned confusion and said, "I only killed the Dark Holy Monarch. Why are all you Seniors sending me Dream Messages? Could it be that I killed the wrong person?"

Empress Nuwa shook her head and said, "No, you were right to kill him. It's just that your strength surprised us."

Who are you kidding?

I've already figured out your conspiracy!

Han Jue frowned and said, "Isn't it good that my strength is great? I can protect the Heavenly Dao."

"That is true, but why are you able to bring out Mount Buzhou? Back then, Mount Buzhou was snapped by the Ancestral Magi, and the remaining mountain body was taken away by the Dao Ancestor…"

Empress Nuwa asked meaningfully.

There are four chapters today to make up for yesterday. I still want to say sorry to everyone, QAQ.
