How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 445 - 0440 Breaking Away from Dependency

After the fierce battle temporarily subsided, those on the side of Chu Country were overjoyed.

They had restrained the enemy’s forces and ensured Chen Yu’s safe return, which was akin to slapping the Snow Mountain Tribe in the face and securing a major victory.

However, when everyone learned of Chen Yu’s detailed battle achievements, they were even more shocked.

The Landing Tribe was nearly annihilated, and their Clan Leader was killed.

Subsequently, facing attacks from the Mantu Tribe and other powerful enemies, Chen Yu counterattacked once again, killing another Guiyuan Realm member from the Landing Tribe and one from the Bi Hai Tribe.

The loss of three Guiyuan Realm individuals was likely a significant blow to the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes.

With the Snow Mountain Tribe weakened, the chances of victory for the southern Three Kingdoms increased even more.

Yet, this wasn’t the most heart-stirring news.

When the news of the Holy Beast’s appearance was revealed, countless top fighters from Chu Country, including those from Qi Country and Yan Country, were thrown into turmoil and sent experts to understand the situation better.

Only in legends was the might of a Holy Beast recorded, not only was it physically formidable and capable of miraculous feats, but its bloodline was also immensely powerful, exerting a strong suppression over lower-tier Demon Beasts and ancient creatures.

A single Holy Beast could greatly influence the entire strategic situation.

After everything was made public, the entire Three Kingdoms were astounded, and many powerful figures, including the Three Sects Sect Master, the Supreme Elder, and Palace Master Fu from Chu Country, went to visit Chen Yu.

However, Chen Yu, being in a restricted training zone, declined them all.

In the past, these individuals wanted to meet Chen Yu, and he couldn’t refuse and had to go in person.

Now, when these people sought Chen Yu, coming to him, Chen Yu could refuse, and they could not bear significant grudges.

Such was the change in strength, altering one’s status.

In the area of the Iron Sword Sect.

"How could he possibly have a Holy Beast Spirit Pet?"

A silvery-haired elder with an orange sword on his back appeared dazed, his expression somewhat vacant.

The rest from the Iron Sword Sect were equally incredulous.

"With his current strength, plus a Holy Beast Spirit Pet, even those in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm would probably find it hard to kill him!"

A high-ranking official said, then felt a chill himself after speaking.

However, that was the reality.

The Holy Beast bloodline was so powerful that overcoming those at higher levels was common, and Chen Yu himself was tremendously strong, having previously defeated Meng Chixiong. Even those in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm approaching would find him a tough challenge.

"This is impossible, a Holy Beast of noble status wouldn’t sign such an absolute servitude contract. There must be something wrong with their contract; the Holy Beast certainly isn’t at Chen Yu’s beck and call."

Lv Tiezu speculated in a low voice.

His speculation wasn’t baseless and was quite persuasive.

How could a majestic Holy Beast submit to Chen Yu!

"Supreme Elder, your grudges with Chen Yu?"

The Iron Sword Sect Master inquired tentatively.

Chen Yu was now like the sun at high noon, a hero of the entire Three Kingdoms, with many sect forces extending olive branches to befriend him.

Only the Iron Sword Sect had not made a move due to Lv Tiezu’s deep animosity with Chen Yu which seemed irreconcilable.

"You don’t need to worry about those; for now, let us try to be on good terms with Chen Yu."

After pondering for a while, Lv Tiezu exhaled deeply and then said.

"Alright!"

The Iron Sword Sect Master instantly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Lv Tiezu would keep clashing with Chen Yu.

Regarding importance, Chen Yu and the Holy Beast certainly surpassed Lv Tiezu.

If Lv Tiezu fought desperately against Chen Yu, other forces might simply observe from afar or would surely support Chen Yu, which would be disadvantageous for Lv Tiezu and could impact the Iron Sword Sect adversely.

After everyone else had left, Lv Tiezu’s expression grew somber.

"My grudge with this man cannot be resolved, and he’s so powerful now, it’s impossible to eliminate him. However, if he thinks he can kill me, absolutely not!"

Lv Tiezu muttered to himself, determination flashing through his eyes.

In fact, if it weren’t for the Great Witch’s prophecy, Lv Tiezu wouldn’t believe Chen Yu would kill him.

But with the prophecy present, Lv Tiezu had to believe it, especially as Chen Yu grew increasingly powerful.

He took out a sealed box from his storage bag, unlocked the prohibition on it, and retrieved an ancient, yellowed booklet.

"This is a taboo technique left by the founder of the Iron Sword Sect. If I successfully cultivate it, my strength will improve, and I’ll have a life-saving trump card. Chen Yu absolutely won’t be able to kill me."

Lv Tiezu stared at the booklet, hesitating inwardly, but after a moment, he suddenly opened it.

...

Many powerful figures from Qi Country and Yan Country came to Chu Country to understand the specifics, visiting Chen Yu and also hoping to meet the Holy Beast.

Thus, Chu Country decided to seize this opportunity to convene a supreme council meeting once again.

Firstly, this was to fully acknowledge Chen Yu’s significance and emphasize his status.

Moreover, Chen Yu had killed many enemy Guiyuan Realm fighters and wiped out a tribe, which significantly impacted the war. This meeting was a good opportunity to discuss the ongoing war-related matters.

A month ago, Chen Yu received the notification.

He did not bother with it but continued his secluded cultivation.

Knowing this, the others did not disturb Chen Yu, as they would meet him at the Three Kingdoms’ supreme council meeting after a month.

Time quickly passed, and a month later, the bells of Red Cover City rang out.

This was Chen Yu’s third time attending the meeting, and like before, he arrived earlier, but when he reached the council hall, he noticed others had arrived even earlier, making him relatively late.

Of course, accompanying Chen Yu was the Red Flame King, as the notice had requested the Fire Qilin’s presence at the meeting.

Although a beast, the Fire Qilin was a Holy Beast of noble lineage, playing an immense role for the Three Kingdoms and possessing a status higher than ordinary Guiyuan Realm individuals.

The Red Flame King raised its head and stepped into the council hall.

Instantly, all eyes were drawn to it.

"Indeed, it’s the Fire Qilin!"

"Is this the Holy Beast?"

Voices of exclamation and confusion arose.

"People are all gathered, the highest meeting of the Three Kingdoms begins now!"

At the top, the hoarse and deep voice of the Absolute Yin Ancestor slowly echoed.

"Recently, Elder Chen bravely ventured into the tiger’s den and broke through the Landing Tribe. He can be said to have delivered a hefty slap to the Snow Mountain Tribe. This incident is of significant importance to the Three Kingdoms..."

Firstly, Master Fu began to recount the glorious achievements of Chen Yu.

"Elder Chen is an extraordinary hero; I admire him greatly!"

"Elder Chen actually killed the Landing Clan Leader, which is truly delightful!"

Inside the hall, many people laughed and praised Chen Yu.

Then, naturally, Master Fu introduced the Fire Qilin, immediately prompting another round of flattery.

"Regarding this, awarding Elder Chen and Fire Qilin fifty thousand Battle Merit Points each, there are no objections, correct?"

Master Fu finally said.

One million Battle Merit Points was astounding, and could be exchanged for extremely vast and abundant resources.

"Elder Chen, Fire Qilin, do either of you have anything to say?"

Master Fu asked.

Chen Yu stood up and asked, "Elder Duanmu, I wonder if you could represent the Sword Sect on this journey?"

"Of course, but there are some very important matters that I still have to report back to our Ancestor!"

Elder Duanmu said with a smile.

"I’d like to discuss an affiliation agreement between Yunyue Sect and Sword Sect with you!"

Chen Yu politely said.

"Elder Chen, I understand your thoughts. Now that Yunyue Sect has Elder Chen, being such a powerful force, being an affiliate does seem a bit inappropriate."

Elder Duanmu was not surprised and quickly gave his answer.

Actually, before coming to Chu Country, the Sword Sect had already discussed this matter.

Elder Chai advocated for clinging to Yunyue Sect and taking the opportunity to strengthen themselves, while Elder Duanmu suggested making friends with Chen Yu to gain the friendship of Yunyue Sect.

In the end, those supporting Elder Duanmu were more numerous.

Thus, the Sword Sect had already decided on this matter. It was only waiting for Chen Yu to raise it personally, which would give more face to Chen Yu while also not undermining the base of Sword Sect.

"Although Yunyue Sect is leaving Sword Sect, the relationship between the two sects will not be alienated but will become even closer."

Elder Duanmu said again, proposing collaboration.

"That is natural."

And so, Yunyue Sect was no longer an affiliate and even reached a collaboration with Qi Country’s strongest, Sword Sect.

Even if the turmoil settles in the future, Bone Demon Palace would have to think twice before making a move against Yunyue Sect.

"Fantastic!"

Gongyang Mountain couldn’t help but smile with great excitement.

He couldn’t help but reflect on how the entire sect’s fate had changed because of Chen Yu.

"Next, let’s discuss matters related to the war. Although this time Elder Chen has dealt a heavy blow to the Snow Mountain Tribe, the enemy is too strong and will not be deterred or compromise because of this. Instead, they will deal with us even more cautiously..."

Master Fu said solemnly.

"I’ve heard that Meng Chixiong has already broken through to the peak of the Early Guiyuan Realm!"

The Supreme Elder of Water Moon Sect sighed.

This Meng Chixiong, with exceptional talent and unparalleled bravery, has achieved so much at such a young age, which is indeed worrisome.

"Recently, news about the Holy Beast of Mantu Tribe has also spread everywhere."

Gongyang Mountain said gravely.

"Fortunately, we also have the Fire Qilin, so there should be no need to fear when the time comes!"

The Iron Sword Sect Master said with a smile.

"That is natural!"

The Red Flame King spoke with an arrogant and indifferent tone, carrying a hint of disdain.

Now that he had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, his strength had taken a qualitative leap. In this remote and backward area, there was nothing for him to fear.

Accustomed to the Red Flame King’s arrogance, everyone simply thought it was just the Holy Beast’s nature, so it went mostly unnoticed.

Subsequently, many powerful figures at the scene exchanged battlefield intelligence and insights, as well as predictions and strategies for future combat.

...

More than two hours later, the meeting concluded.

"Elder Chen, how was the yield from breaking through the Landing Tribe?"

Gongyang Mountain walked beside Chen Yu and inquired.

"I heard that the Landing Tribe excels in alchemy; Elder Chen, your gains must be quite substantial."

The Supreme Elder of Water Moon Sect added, revealing a charming smile with flirtatious undertones.

Many people gathered around Chen Yu, greeting and conversing with him.

"Though I broke through the Landing Tribe, the plundering task was delegated to Deputy Commander Wei, and I didn’t take any of the spoils."

Chen Yu stated matter-of-factly.

He spoke the truth, but the loot he got from killing four high-ranking officials and the Landing Clan Leader was already astonishing; he did not need to covet those small gains.

"Elder Chen, you have now broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, and you are still practicing the Demon Technique. If you feel the cultivation environment here is lacking, you are welcome to come to my Bone Demon Palace." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Master Fu quickly walked over.

Previously, Chen Yu had brought it up, but Master Fu had declined. Now, however, Master Fu repeated his offer, hoping that Chen Yu would accept this time.
