Chapter 396 -391: Confronting Elder Chai
“Damn it, how did Ye Luofeng not die?”
Elder Chai stared at the departing Ye Luofeng, feeling somewhat annoyed and anxious.
That person had promised to send a Guiyuan Realm expert to assassinate Ye Luofeng.
Logically speaking, the Blood Moon Organization should never break its promise.
Yet now, Ye Luofeng and the others arrived here without a scratch.
It should be noted that Elder Chai had paid a huge price to motivate the other party, but in the end, it seemed he had lost both his wife and his troops.
In fact, even if the truth about this matter was discovered, the Lingjian Sect wouldn’t really do anything to Elder Chai.
Given that it was a period of war, the Three Kingdoms were at a disadvantage, and no one wanted to lose a Guiyuan Realm combatant over internal conflicts.
What Elder Chai truly worried about was that Elder Duanmu’s faction could use this opportunity to strike back and expand their influence.
Another concern was that with Ye Luofeng—a formidable talent—returning, and the possibility of her breaking into Guiyuan Realm in the future, Elder Duanmu’s faction would only grow stronger.
“There is still a chance for things to turn around.”
Elder Chai’s gaze fixed on the departing Chen Yu.
Inside a fragrant loft, Elder Duanmu’s phoenix eyes closely observed her disciple.
“Luo Feng, your cultivation level?”
Elder Duanmu was surprised; Ye Luofeng’s progression had greatly exceeded her expectations.
The sect’s top disciple was currently only at the Peak of Early-stage Innate, while Ye Luofeng had already reached the Innate Peak.
“Disciple and Chen Yu were transported by the Transmission Array to the rumored ancient country where the cultivation environment is much better than here. Now, the disciple has reached the Innate Peak…”
Ye Luofeng, trusting her master completely, didn’t hide anything.
The reason her cultivation progressed so rapidly was partly due to the excellent environment in the ancient country, partly because of the Heavenly Que Sword—a treasure, and partly because she was highly valued and specially cultivated by the vice-president of Sky Sword Academy.
“I didn’t expect that you two could obtain such a treasure and escape from Elder Chai…”
Elder Duanmu revealed a hint of a smile.
From the beginning till now, Elder Duanmu had not inquired whether it was Ye Luofeng and Chen Yu or Elder Chai who had framed whom.
Because Elder Duanmu was certain that it was Elder Chai who had set up her disciple.
Of course, even if Elder Chai was unjustly accused, Elder Duanmu would fully support her disciple and continue to accuse Elder Chai.
“Disciple obtained the Heavenly Que Sword at that time, and Chen Yu is a Body Cultivator, whose physical strength is unaffected by force fields; in the end at a critical moment, we narrowly escaped!”
Ye Luofeng answered truthfully.
Hearing Ye Luofeng’s account, Elder Duanmu felt that Ye Luofeng seemed to hold a high esteem for Chen Yu.
Her stunning phoenix eyes focused on Chen Yu.
Facing the gaze of a Guiyuan Realm expert, Chen Yu remained composed, sitting in the chair, lightly sipping his tea.
“This junior is indeed exceptional, and I cannot see through his cultivation level.”
Elder Duanmu internally felt astonishment, thinking that Chen Yu must have cultivated some secret technique to conceal his cultivation aura.
Chen Yu had practiced the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record,” a profound skill. Furthermore, he could conceal his cultivation aura, making it difficult for even Elder Duanmu to discern.
“I didn’t expect a disciple of the Yunyue Sect to be so fortunate as to obtain something as precious as the Moon Spirit Ore Mother. However, Chen Yu, while this treasure is precious, you are still too weak to protect such an item.”
Elder Duanmu spoke indifferently.
The Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword was indeed precious to the Lingjian Sect.
However, in this time of war, the strategic value of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother proved immensely more crucial.
At the very least, the Lingjian Sect was determined to obtain the Moon Spirit Ore Mother.
And other major forces were very envious of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother.
Thus, it was impossible for Chen Yu, a small figure, to keep the Moon Spirit Ore Mother forever.
She was hinting to Chen Yu that he could proactively hand over the Moon Spirit Ore Mother to her.
In doing so, she would surely not mistreat Chen Yu, as she would give him many benefits; even Lv Tiezu wouldn’t dare move against Chen Yu lightly.
Additionally, once Elder Duanmu obtained the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, it was akin to having the right to use it. Her status would rise drastically, far surpassing Elder Chai.
In summary, this was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
“Thank you for your concern, senior, but currently, this treasure is perfectly safe with me.”
Chen Yu understood Elder Duanmu’s intentions, but he wasn’t too worried about it.
Elder Duanmu slightly frowned, feeling that Chen Yu was rather ungrateful.
“Master, you underestimate him.”
Ye Luofeng said calmly, seemingly defending Chen Yu.
“Oh?”
Elder Duanmu’s eyes flashed with interest.
Suddenly, she remembered that in the past, Ye Luofeng rarely praised anyone.
Could it be that during these five years, Ye Luofeng had developed romantic feelings for this young man?
If it had been earlier, Elder Duanmu would have thought that Chen Yu was not worthy of Ye Luofeng.
But at this moment, with the Moon Spirit Ore Mother in Chen Yu’s possession, if she were to matchmake them, they would become part of her family, and it would be easier to aim for the Moon Spirit Ore Mother.
If Elder Duanmu knew that her beloved disciple was just a maid to Chen Yu, she wondered what she would feel.
That night, the Qi Country camp held a secret meeting.
Several Supreme Elders of the Lingjian Sect, along with Purple Cloud Palace and other top experts from various sects, gathered together.
With so many people present, the hall was still silent, eerie quiet; even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.
Several elder-level Qi Transformation Realm experts felt an invisible pressure, their blood freezing.
“This is probably the third time since the great war in Beiyuan that so many powerful figures have participated in a meeting like this!”
“Almost all the masters of Qi Country are here, influencing millions of lives!”
Many Qi Transformation Realm elders looked towards the Guiyuan Realm elders in the hall with faces full of admiration and awe.
In the entire hall, filled with the upper echelons of Qi Country, only Chen Yu was from Chu Country.
At this moment, Chen Yu was also sizing up the high-level combat forces of Qi Country.
“Much stronger than Chu Country!”
Chen Yu thought to himself.
Especially the white-robed elder above, his face full of the wrinkles of vicissitudes, although his eyes were closed, he gave off an unfathomable feeling.
Chen Yu knew that this person was an ancestor of the Lingjian Sect, and his cultivation was at least in the middle stage of the Guiyuan Realm.
On the other side, a purple-robed old woman from Purple Cloud Palace gave Chen Yu a similar impression to the white-robed elder.
“As expected of the strongest country among the Three Kingdoms, with such strength, if they were to strike with full force, they could easily crush Chu Country!”
Chen Yu sighed to himself.
While Chen Yu was sizing up these people, they were also carefully observing Ye Luofeng and Chen Yu.
After a long time, everyone arrived.
“Elder Duanmu, Elder Chai, according to what you said, let’s verify the matter of the Moon Mine.”
The ancestor of Lingjian Sect suddenly spoke, and the atmosphere in the hall eased somewhat, allowing many Qi Transformation Realm elders to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Elder Chai, I didn’t expect you to be such a person, attacking our sect’s disciples in the Moon Mine, and even trying to privately seize the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword and the Moon Spirit Ore Mother…”
Ye Luofeng accused him on the spot.
Back at the sect, she was misunderstood by almost all of her fellow disciples, and her once good friends had become strangers.
On this journey, she had suppressed a lot of anger, and now her momentum was fierce, directly pointing at Elder Chai.
“Ha ha, it’s clear that you, a traitor of the sect, conspired with Chen Yu, and ambushed me…”
Elder Chai laughed aloud, his appearance one of indignation, and began to argue with Ye Luofeng.
“At that time, I was not familiar with Chen Yu, and I couldn’t trust him at all, so there’s a flaw in Elder Chai’s words…”
Ye Luofeng immediately retorted.
Occasionally, when Ye Luofeng could not overcome Elder Chai, Chen Yu would help her out.
Inside the hall, the others listened intently to the accounts of the three people.
In fact, they didn’t really care who was framing whom.
What they cared about were the two treasures, the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword and the Moon Spirit Ore Mother.
The outcome of this dispute would determine the distribution of these two treasures.
If Elder Chai won, then it would mean that he discovered the treasures, and would greatly contribute to the sect, his status and prestige rising again.
Likewise, if Ye Luofeng’s side won, Elder Duanmu’s faction would also reap endless benefits.
As the debate continued, details of the incident gradually emerged.
Many had already guessed that Ye Luofeng and Chen Yu were the wronged party.
Elder Chai realized that the situation was becoming unfavorable.
“Ha ha ha, Ye Luofeng, Chen Yu, you really jest, if I had intended to kill you at that time, you would have had no chance of surviving, let alone escaping!”
Elder Chai laughed loudly, approaching the matter from another angle.
“Exactly, Elder Chai’s strength is so great that even if he was suppressed in the Moon Mine, you both were in the same situation. If Elder Chai really wanted to kill you, it would have been as easy as flipping his hand!”
“So, it must have been you suddenly attacking and severely injuring Elder Chai, giving you a chance to escape.”
In Elder Chai’s faction, an old man spoke up to support him.
“Hehe, you all should be aware that the force field in the Moon Mine can suppress cultivation levels, but Chen Yu, being a body cultivator, is unaffected by the mine’s power, so on that day I and Chen Yu were able to resist somewhat!”
Ye Luofeng spoke sternly, staring intently at Elder Chai.
“Ha ha ha, that day I could only muster ten percent of my True Qi, and even though Chen Yu is a body cultivator, he had not yet reached the Late Innate stage, a single sword strike from me would have been enough to kill him instantly.”
Elder Chai seized this point and wouldn’t let go.
That day, Chen Yu had been able to contend with Elder Chai, not just due to his body cultivation strength, but also because of other factors, such as the Black Emperor’s bloodline, the amplification from the Dark Snake Sword, among others.
Moreover, even though Chen Yu hadn’t reached the Qi Transformation Realm, his physical defense was already robust enough to withstand attacks from the Postnatal Stage.
“If you do not believe me, I am willing to test it again, to simulate the battle with Chen Yu from that day!”
Elder Chai smirked with a hint of malice in his tone.
The moment these words were uttered, many strong individuals in the hall flickered their eyes.
“How will you simulate it?”
“Let’s hear it?”
Without exception, everyone agreed.
Because they could see that by Elder Chai initiating this, he was aiming to harm Chen Yu.
However, they didn’t care about Chen Yu’s life or death; in fact, they hoped that Chen Yu would die, so that at least the Moon Spirit Ore Mother would end up in the hands of Qi Country.
“Back then, Chen Yu had not broken into the Qi Transformation Realm, and could withstand ten percent of my strength; now according to his body cultivation strength growth, I will also increase my attack correspondingly, for another round of competition.”
“If he can withstand my attack, then it proves that Chen Yu could indeed defend against me somewhat in the past; if he cannot withstand it, then it proves I could easily kill them.”
Elder Chai appeared straightforward.
“I think this method is feasible, and it can verify that difficult question!”
“This method is good.”
At the scene, over eighty percent of the people expressed their agreement.
Elder Duanmu wanted to object, but was drowned out by the voices of the crowd.
“Chen Yu, what is your current cultivation level?”
Elder Chai inquired.
“Innate Peak!”
Chen Yu’s reply startled many in the assembly.
Such a young Innate Peak was truly awe-inspiring and hard to believe.
A stormy sea churned in Elder Chai’s heart.
This young man, he must not be allowed to remain!
