How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 374 - 0369 Return to Chu Country

That is to say, if Chen Yu’s cultivation was slow to advance, the Red Flame King’s progression would also be difficult.

So when he learned that Chen Yu was going to even more remote places, the Red Flame King immediately became angry.

If it were not for Chen Yu’s constraints, he would at least be in the Guiyuan Realm by now, or even the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm.

“That place is my hometown, and I must return for a visit!” Chen Yu said firmly.

Chu Country was Chen Yu’s birthplace, where he embarked on the path of cultivation.

There, many precious memories of his youth remained, along with many important people.

Moreover, with Chu Country in turmoil, Chen Yu didn’t know how his parents, Elder Mao, his master, and others were now, which he couldn’t get out of his mind.

“Fine, the King allows you to return to your hometown, but you must not stay there for too long; it will hinder your path of cultivation,” The Red Flame King’s anger gradually faded, showing concern for Chen Yu’s well-being.

Ten days later, one night, Chen Yu arrived at the exit, registered, and left the No Demon Academy.

Via the Ancient Transmission Array, he smoothly reached Yunlai Prefecture.

First, Chen Yu paid a visit to Marquis Yunlai.

Initially, Chen Yu had used Marquis Yunlai as a stepping stone to spread his fame and eventually enter the No Demon Academy.

Moreover, when the Ancient Clan Luo Family came to investigate Luo Haochen’s death, Marquis Yunlai also protected Chen Yu.

Inside the reception hall.

“A hero emerges from youth, I didn’t expect in just a few short years you’d achieve so much; I’m afraid it won’t be long before you surpass me,” Marquis Yunlai said with a smile, full of admiration.

Anyway, Chen Yu was also someone who came out of the Yunlai Prefecture, and he was the “Hunting King” in the hunting contest organized by Marquis Yunlai.

And now, this Hunting King had become one of the top talents in Yun Zhao Country, with each of the four great academies’ top contenders having lost to Chen Yu.

“Your Highness overpraises me; I am still young and cannot be compared to Your Highness,” Chen Yu said modestly.

“Ning’er, you and Chen Yu are both young and interacted during the grand competition; you two chat first, I will go find the butler to arrange some things,” Without saying another word, Marquis Yunlai stood up and left.

In the hall, only Chen Yu and Princess Ning remained.

The noble and extraordinary Princess Ning had a slight blush on her face and seemed somewhat unnatural.

Originally, the two had some acquaintance, and Princess Ning had a rather favorable impression of Chen Yu.

It was not until Chen Yu defeated Yunhai Zhen in the grand competition that Princess Ning’s heart felt a ripple; It was normal for a woman to admire the strong.

“Hehe, Princess Ning, long time no see,” Chen Yu forced a few laughs.

He knew that Marquis Yunlai was deliberately giving him and Princess Ning a chance to be together, hoping to facilitate a match between the two.

Although with her temperament and looks, Princess Ning could be considered a nation-toppling beauty.

But having only met a few times, Chen Yu did not harbor much affection for her.

The two didn’t chat for long before parting ways.

The next day, Chen Yu took the flying mount provided by Marquis Yunlai and escorted by the Prince Manor’s guards, he headed for the Yunlai Fu Family.

To return to Chu Country, it was naturally more convenient to use the Transmission Array from before.

Moreover, the agreement between Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng was to meet at the Yunlai Fu Family and return to Chu Country together.

A day later, Chen Yu arrived at the Fu Family.

Chen Yu’s arrival caused a stir in the Fu Family, even the Clan Leader came out in person.

“Why has the Prince Manor sent someone?” Many elders and high-ranking members of the Fu Family were alarmed, one after another taking to the skies, including the Clan Leader Fu Yangzi who flew out from his residence.

“Chen Yu!” The many upper echelons of the Fu Family, including the Fu Family’s Disciples, all turned to look at the youth on the bird mount.

“Chen Yu, first place in the academy’s grand competition, the top genius of Yun Zhao Country!” Many of the Fu Family’s Disciples revealed looks of admiration, extremely excited.

“It’s Chen Yu!” Fu Yanzi’s eyes shimmered with ripples.

Initially, when they as a group of disciples underwent their live combat assessment, she faced danger and it was Chen Yu who descended from the heavens and rescued her.

“Who would have thought that Chen would visit our Fu Family, come inside to talk,” Clan Leader Fu Yangzi said with a smile.

Upon reflection, Chen Yu was indeed a Guest Elder of the Fu Family.

Looking at it now, the initial decision was vastly profitable.

Thus, Chen Yu temporarily resided at the Fu Family, waiting for Ye Luofeng to arrive.

Additionally, Chen Yu acquired some materials for repairing arrays from an Array Master of the Fu Family.

Chen Yu’s days at the Fu Family passed leisurely.

Having been under pressure previously, Chen Yu wanted to improve his strength at all times, but now with his abilities on returning to Chu Country, even Lv Tiezu couldn’t trouble him, and the burden on Chen Yu lightened somewhat.

Moreover, these days, Fu Yanzi often came looking for him.

Fu Yanzi, now exuding the charm of a mature woman, often sent flirtatious glances at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had seen many beauties and was highly immune, remaining entirely unaffected.

This day.

A bird’s screech pierced the air, once again startling the Fu Family.

By the time everyone rushed out, the bird’s silhouette had vanished, revealing a celestial woman who descended like an icy mountain, her eyes like cool autumn waters, garbed in a pristine white dress, unsullied by dust.

Many men, including some elders, were mesmerized, staring blankly in infatuation.

When Fu Yanzi saw Ye Luofeng, she immediately lowered her head in shame, distancing herself from Chen Yu by several steps.

“Miss Ye, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for a long time,” Chen Yu said with a teasing smile.

For from that moment on, according to their agreement, Ye Luofeng would become his maidservant.

At the same time, Chen Yu took the opportunity to assess Ye Luofeng.

Although she was currently at the Innate Peak, she was different from Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had just broken through to the Innate Peak and would need at least a year or two of preparation before attempting to advance to the Guiyuan Realm.

But Ye Luofeng had reached the Innate Peak at least a year before, putting her in a position similar to Yuan Chen before the grand competition, ready to challenge the Guiyuan Realm.

Yet Ye Luofeng had higher ambitions, which was why she chose to remain where she was.

After carefully observing Chen Yu, Ye Luofeng knitted her brows slightly.

Back then, Chen Yu had made a bold jest that in five years, he might catch up to Ye Luofeng.

At the time, she didn’t take it seriously, not putting much stock in his words.

But now, with their levels of cultivation equivalent, it was almost as if Chen Yu had caught up to Ye Luofeng’s progress.

Ye Luofeng huffed, making a decision. She would swiftly prepare to break through to the Guiyuan Realm, to surpass Chen Yu.

After resting for a day,

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng left together.

Although it would have been fine to inform the Fu Family about the Transmission Array, it was better to avoid speaking of it if possible.

In less than half a day, the two arrived near a large mountain range.

Following their memories, they located a channel and entered. It wasn’t long before they discovered the Ancient Transmission Array.

Once the Ancient Transmission Array was repaired, Chen Yu inlaid several middle-grade Essence Stones—items he had traded for at the No Demon Main Hall.

A few days later, on a night of the full moon.

Humming~ A bright, hazy shimmer washed over the entire Array Formation Platform, while the Array patterns around the Transmission Array suddenly lit up, emitting intense spatial fluctuations.

“We’re going back!”

The successful activation of the Transmission Array confirmed that the corresponding Array on the other side was intact, and Chen Yu couldn’t help but curve his lips in a smile.

Within a layer of brilliant, silver light, the figures of the two gradually vanished.

…

In Chu Country, outside the Moon Mine.

A small squad patrolled back and forth at the mouth of the mine.

“It’s so boring here; nothing happens in this godforsaken place.”

“Heh heh, buddy, count your blessings. I know a few of my sect brothers who turned to cannon fodder on the northern battlefield…”

“Yeah, guarding this place might have low Primordial Stone income, but there’s no fighting with the Snow Mountain Tribe, which is surely better than losing your life, right?”

Three Bone Demon Palace disciples chatted leisurely and laughed.

“Back in the day, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng escaped. They probably won’t come back, and we just need to stroll around here every day, haha…”

“Chen Yu…”

Behind the three Bone Demon Palace disciples was a triangular-eyed man, the very same “Ding Jiuhui” who had gone with Chen Yu and Le Feng to hunt the Iron Brown Bear years ago.

Recalling certain past events seemed to bring a complex look of nostalgia to his face.

Just then, a ripple of spatial fluctuation came from the mine, startling everyone in the squad.

“Quick, go check it out!”

The leading Bone Demon Palace disciple wore a cautious expression.

Meanwhile,

Deep in the Moon Mine, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng emerged onto the Ancient Transmission Array.

An odd force field enveloped them, suppressing their cultivation and True Qi.

“Let’s go!”

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng flickered and dashed toward the mine’s entrance without hesitation.

Just then, several figures appeared at the mouth of the mine.

Hmm, people?

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng’s gazes sharpened.

An oppressive and unbearably heavy atmosphere spread out, leaving the patrolling disciples stuck in the mire, unable to move a muscle, and struggling to breathe, as if suffocating.

Swoosh!

Two flashes of Azure Darkness Sword Light shot out instantly.

Thud!

The heads of three Bone Demon Palace disciples flew off in unison, rolling to the side.

Simultaneously, the second streak of Azure Darkness Sword Light aimed at the necks of Ding Jiuhui and another Yunyue Sect disciple.

“No—”

Ding Jiuhui and the other Yunyue Sect disciple, faces etched with terror, watched the sword light approach helplessly, unable to resist.

But just then.

Swoosh!

A tall, commanding figure appeared beside Ding Jiuhui and extended a hand to catch the sword light, shattering it.

“What is the meaning of this?” Ye Luofeng’s face turned cold.

They had predicted that powerhouses would likely be guarding the vicinity of the Moon Mine upon their return.

For the sake of security, as soon as they arrived, she started a massacre.

However, the people guarding this place were far weaker than expected, merely a few disciples at the Meridian Passage and Organ Refining Stages.

Chen Yu was about to explain when,

“Chen… Chen Yu!”

Ding Jiuhui, upon recognizing Chen Yu, was flabbergasted and speechless. Having narrowly escaped death, his expression slightly relaxed but quickly turned to panic as other thoughts crossed his mind.
