How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 448 - 0443: Red-eyed Jiao
The Moon Spirit Ore Vein was located near the Yunyue Sect, with strong guardians dispatched from the Three Kingdoms. Surrounding the entire vein, there was an array capable of withstanding those of the Guiyuan Realm.
At this moment, all the guardians were gathered around the vein, staring at the mine with faces full of excitement and joy.
Suddenly, three figures flew through the sky.
"Elder Chen, Elder Ye!"
The arrival of Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng immediately caught everyone’s attention. They greeted and paid their respects to them, especially to Chen Yu, with great reverence.
Chen Yu was not only a great hero of the Three Kingdoms, but he also owned the Moon Spirit Ore Mother that nurtured the vein. In the allocation of the vein, Chen Yu had an exclusive claim to thirty percent.
Ye Luofeng had also become an Alliance Elders after her breakthrough into the Guiyuan Realm.
Buzz!
Chen Yu released his Spiritual Sense, penetrating the array and delving deep into the earth to investigate the situation.
The Moon Spirit Ore Mother had not produced much Moon Spirit Ore, even somewhat less than half of a small ore vein.
But now, with the tense state of war, it was necessary to mine and use the ore.
Otherwise, if the war suddenly entered the late stage and was decided, the value of the Moon Spirit Ore would not have been utilized in the conflict.
For the time being, Chen Yu stayed at the Yunyue Sect.
In a few days, the ores were fully mined.
The guardians left by the Three Kingdoms divided the ores according to the original agreement, and Chen Yu received a large batch of Moon Spirit Ore.
He did not need them at present, but some people did.
That evening, the Yunyue Sect Master visited Chen Yu. His chair had not yet warmed when Chen Yu received his second visitor, none other than Guardian Shangguan.
The Yunyue Sect Master and Guardian Shangguan exchanged glances, both well aware of each other’s intentions.
"Elder Chen, on behalf of the Bone Demon Palace, I’d like to trade for a batch of Moon Spirit Ore with you," Guardian Shangguan got straight to the point.
"Supreme Elder, the share of Moon Spirit Ore allocated to the Yunyue Sect is very small. I hope you can take care of our sect…" the Yunyue Sect Master eagerly said.
Moon Spirit Ore was extremely useful, capable of enhancing the quality of treasures and increasing the speed of True Qi circulation. It could also cleanse dark diseases and impurities, purify aggression, and even improve the qualifications of a Spiritual Body.
Now, in the midst of war, such resources were in greater demand than supply.
Only with great personal strength could one survive the war.
The stronger the sect or faction’s power, the greater the advantage after the war’s end.
For instance, Qi Country. After a great battle, the Lingjian Sect retained much of its power, whereas the Purple Cloud Palace suffered terrible losses. Thus, Lingjian Sect could take this opportunity to annex the Purple Cloud Palace.
In other words, if the Three Kingdoms emerged victorious from this war, the power dynamics of the Three Kingdoms would also face a reshuffle.
"That’s easy, six hundred low-grade Primordial Stones per jin of Moon Spirit Ore," Chen Yu priced. Normally, a jin of Moon Spirit Ore wouldn’t be worth so many Primordial Stones.
"Six hundred!"
Guardian Shangguan hesitated for a moment. The price was steep, but still within what the Bone Demon Palace could accept.
He was ready to haggle, but Chen Yu dismissed the negotiation outright.
Also, the amount of Moon Spirit Ore Chen Yu sold to the Bone Demon Palace was limited.
"Supreme Elder, the Bone Demon Palace is already the top power in Chu Country, ambitious and intent on swallowing the three sects..." the Yunyue Sect Master immediately said.
"Rest assured, the Yunyue Sect will be able to obtain more Moon Spirit Ore, and for free," Chen Yu stated flatly.
Immediately, the Yunyue Sect Master stopped wasting time, collected a large amount of Moon Spirit Ore from Chen Yu, and left with great delight.
In fact, Chen Yu could have priced it lower, the Yunyue Sect Master would still have been willing to buy.
But his intention was to strengthen the Yunyue Sect. To give Moon Spirit Ore and still demand Primordial Stones would have been pointless, so he simply gave it away for free.
Any precious material, if taken continuously, will diminish in effect.
Chen Yu had consumed too much Moon Spirit Ore before, and now he didn’t need it at all.
"The third one to come should be the Lingjian Sect," Chen Yu thought to himself.
"Giggle, Elder Chen, we meet again."
Entering the door was a woman dressed in blood-red clothes, seductive and enchanting, the demoness from the Blood Moon Organization.
"Has the Blood Moon Organization come to discuss business with me?" Chen Yu asked with a smile, not having expected the Blood Moon Organization to also send someone.
In truth, with the capabilities of the Blood Moon Organization, they could have forcefully taken it, but they had not done so.
This was not because they didn’t need it but because they preferred to invite Chen Yu into the organization. Once Chen Yu joined, the Moon Spirit Ore Vein could be discussed easily.
"The Moon Spirit Ore may be low-level, but effective, and something any force would need," the seductive woman said with an enticing smile.
Low-level Moon Spirit Ore was so only in the eyes of those in the Guiyuan Realm. However, in the entirety of Chu Country, there were only a few at the Guiyuan Realm level.
"However, it seems there’s no particular tie between me and the Blood Moon Organization," Chen Yu stated plainly.
The Bone Demon Palace could somehow be counted as an ally, and after all, Chen Yu had spent considerable time there utilizing their resources for cultivation for free.
The Yunyue Sect was his own sect.
As for the Blood Moon Organization, it was a force with which he had no strings attached.
"Elder Chen shouldn’t speak so absolutely, who knows, maybe you’ll think it over tomorrow and join the Blood Moon Organization? Then we’ll be one big family," the seductive woman always wore a smile, eyes brimming with spring, as her ample bust swayed back and forth in front of Chen Yu.
"Heh heh, the Blood Moon Organization is so powerful, perhaps due to my insolence, I’ll offend the organization and become a target for elimination in the future," Chen Yu joked.
The seductive woman’s face froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
Chen Yu had guessed correctly; Lord Xue Feng had already said that if Chen Yu hadn’t joined the organization before contacting the Holy Land, they would eliminate him.
"Don’t joke around, my lady is here to discuss serious matters. We are willing to buy the Moon Spirit Ore at a higher price than the Bone Demon Palace," said the enchanting woman with a smile.
To this, Chen Yu was not surprised. The Bone Demon Palace had dealings with the Blood Moon Organization, so perhaps the enchanting woman had already gotten the final price from Guardian Shangguan’s mouth.
"Nine hundred!"
Chen Yu announced the price.
"Fine, since Elder Chen will become one of us, it doesn’t matter if we give a discount to our own people," the enchanting woman agreed.
Chen Yu’s gaze flickered slightly; his quote of nine hundred had actually been a probe.
This price had already exceeded the endurance range of all powers in Beiyuan, but the enchanting woman had agreed very quickly, without a trace of displeasure.
The more prosperous a place, the higher the prices, which was the case with Yun Zhao Country. This, to some extent, might indicate that the Blood Moon Organization’s base was not in Beiyuan but possibly among the Three Ancient Kingdoms.
Ultimately, the third batch of Moon Spirit Ore was sold off.
Chen Yu reserved the remaining Moon Spirit Ore for the Lingjian Sect.
After staying a few days, Chen Yu went to the secular world to visit his parents.
However, he did not bring them back to Yunyue Sect because his affairs with Lv Tiezu were not yet settled. Although he now feared no harm from Lv Tiezu, if Lv Tiezu captured Chen Yu’s parents, he would instantly gain the upper hand, a scenario Chen Yu would never allow to happen.
Upon returning to the Bone Demon Palace after the retreat, Chen Yu secluded himself for another month, making advances in cultivation technique proficiency.
One day, Guardian Shangguan rushed over in haste.
"What’s the matter?"
Chen Yu asked.
"Battle report from the front lines, requesting Elder Chen’s assistance," Guardian Shangguan immediately said.
During the time Chen Yu was in seclusion, continuous wars large and small erupted at the front lines, but they were not critical; wars at the Guiyuan Realm level were infrequent and not significantly impactful.
However, just the day before yesterday, the enemy launched a fierce attack, catching Chu Country off guard.
By the time Chu Country responded and went to battle, the Mantu Tribe unleashed their trump card— a Holy Beast.
"So the Mantu Tribe really does have a Holy Beast," thought Chen Yu, as what had been previously a rumor was now confirmed.
This Holy Beast had just awakened and had not yet fully recovered, but its combat strength remained overwhelmingly formidable, leading to continuous defeats for Chu Country’s Guiyuan Realm warriors.
Among them, Elder Gongyang Mountain from Yunyue Sect nearly lost his life on the battlefield.
Fortunately, he had the Half Spirit Artifact "Wind Cloud Blade" to escape danger, but he sustained serious injuries.
"They had been hiding their capability, probably waiting for this Holy Beast to awaken," Chen Yu said, his expression darkening.
In fact, the Holy Beast had awakened long ago, but due to exhausted and weakened bloodlines, it would have made its appearance eight months earlier if it had swallowed the Dragon Scale Blood Flame Pill.
It was because Chen Yu attacked the Landing Tribe and seized the Dragon Scale Blood Flame Pill that they spent so much time and resources to cultivate and restore its bloodline, reaching the threshold of a Holy Beast.
Now, the war had finally erupted in full scale.
"Ha ha ha... Truly exhilarating, Chu Country is too weak. Perhaps after a few more attacks, they will capitulate," laughed a Guiyuan Realm elder within the dark fortress.
Everyone else present also had smiles on their faces, exuberant with joy.
Some time ago, Chen Yu’s defeat of Meng Chixiong and the heavy blow to the Landing Tribe, killing two Guiyuan Realm fighters, had dealt them a severe setback.
But now, they had immediately turned the tables.
"We can’t be complacent, the Bone Demon Palace still has a trump card they haven’t used yet," said the Mantu Clan Chief, stroking his beard and calmly speaking, though still unable to disguise his joy.
"Elder Man, although the ’Bone Demon King’ is powerful, if it’s not well controlled, it could become a disaster for Chu Country. On the other hand, the Holy Beast ’Red-eyed Jiao’ of the Mantu Tribe has absorbed a large amount of essence and blood through this battle, constantly recovering its strength. If the ’Red-eyed Jiao’ returns to its peak, it can definitely fight against the Bone Demon King," said the Clan Leader of the Bi Hai Tribe with a smile.
The Mantu Clan Chief nodded slightly in agreement, then suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed sharply, "It’s just a pity we didn’t see that boy Chen Yu!"
"Elder Man, are you actually afraid that the boy won’t show up?" another high-ranking figure teased.
"Of course. His Master is in our hands; would the boy really abandon him? If that’s true, then so much the better— his halo of glory would instantly crumble!" scoffed a strong figure of the Mantu Tribe.
"How does Elder Man plan to deal with that old man?" asked a high-ranking figure.
"It’s not something you need to worry about. I will certainly maximize his value," said the Mantu Clan Chief, his eyes showing sagacity and confidence.
Chen Yu had killed his grandson, and the Mantu Clan Leader would certainly not let Chen Yu get off easily.
At a certain moment, a request to enter was heard from outside.
"Come in!"
Inside the dark fortress, all the high-ranking figures ceased their chatter and restored their authoritative demeanor.
"What is it?" asked the Mantu Clan Leader.
"Reporting to the Clan Leader, just now, the Holy Beast Red-eyed Flood Dragon has recovered to the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak!"
The messenger reported with great excitement.
Upon hearing this, every strong person inside the dark fortress couldn’t help but reveal smiles.
"Good, we’ll go to battle tomorrow and teach Chu Country an even harsher lesson!" The corner of the Mantu Clan Leader’s mouth revealed a faint smile.
