Chapter 382 -0377: Repelling Foes
After a fierce battle, the Water Moon Sect Master was slightly outmatched.
After all, Guardian Shangguan was at the Innate Peak level, and unless he was careless, he couldnât possibly be defeated.
"Hehe, Water Moon Sect Master, hand over the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, or donât blame me!â
Guardian Shangguan sneered and slowly approached the Water Moon Sect Master, step by step.
On the other side, the Yunyue Sect Master sighed.
This battle had been intense, and the entire grand hall had been completely destroyed, with many from the Bone Demon Palace and Water Moon Sect affected to various extents by the aftermath.
But the result was as the Yunyue Sect Master had predicted, Guardian Shangguan had a slight edge.
Just then, an idea emerged in the Yunyue Sect Masterâs heart; now that both the Water Moon Sect Master and Guardian Shangguan were both injured, it was a good opportunity!
If he took action at this moment, he could certainly defeat the two of them and obtain the Moon Spirit Ore Mother.
However, the Yunyue Sect Master still had his doubts, did Chen Yu really have no choice but to hand over the Moon Spirit Ore Mother?
Swoosh, swoosh!
On the Bone Demon Palaceâs side, two Innate-level and nearly ten Postnatal-level powerhouses immediately focused their attention on the Yunyue Sect Master to prevent him from making a move.
"Guardian Shangguan, I accept my defeat at your hands. The Moon Spirit Ore Mother is yours, and the Water Moon Sect will not covet this item in the future.â
The Water Moon Sect Master ground her teeth as she spoke.
By saying this, she effectively made a pledge on behalf of the Water Moon Sect, dissipating any suspicions the Bone Demon Palace might have had.
Having said that, she took out the Moon Spirit Ore Mother from her storage bag.
"Hehe!â
Guardian Shangguan walked slowly forward, eyeing the Moon Spirit Ore Mother in the Water Moon Sect Masterâs hand with a gleam of greed in his eyes.
This was a treasure of legends, with tremendous value.
In fact, he was even considering keeping the treasure for himself.
"Miss Ye, the show has ended, now itâs time for you to conclude it.â
At this moment, Chen Yu, who had been silently observing, finally spoke.
Ye Luofeng understood Chen Yuâs meaning, gave him a cold side-eye, but still stepped forward.
Boom!
She drew a precious sword from her hand, and with the sword in hand, her entire aura changed dramatically, as a Sword Intent surged into the sky, astonishing everyone present.
The moment this Sword Intent burst forth, all eyes in the grand hall turned to Ye Luofeng.
"What a powerful Sword Intent, this womanâs cultivation level is at least at the Late Innate stage, or even at the Innate Peak!â
Both the Water Moon Sect Master and the Yunyue Sect Master looked at Ye Luofeng with undisguised astonishment in their eyes.
The ancient and vast fluctuations of Sword Intent made them both feel a sense of dread.
Swoosh!
Ye Luofeng waved her precious sword, and a stroke of Azure Darkness Sword Light that could pierce through everything burst out from her blade.
"What a powerful strike!â
Guardian Shangguan saw Ye Luofengâs astonishing strike and his expression changed drastically.
Even at his peak, he would have to handle such a strike with caution.
He waved his hands, casting out bursts of strong, dark purple energy zaps.
However, Ye Luofengâs sword technique was incredibly profound and powerful, and Guardian Shangguan was seriously injured at this point.
Puff, puff~
Wherever the sword light passed, all the energy zaps dissipated easily like dry twigs before a storm.
Boom bang!
In the end, the sword beam struck down, an explosion sounded, and the entire grand hall collapsed.
"What a huge disturbance, what happened?â
"Today, both the Water Moon Sect Master and Guardian Shangguan arrived; could they be fighting inside with the Sect Master? Should we go help?â
"Are you seeking death? Can we intervene in such a high-level fight?â
In the Yunyue Sect, some high-ranking members felt the Innate Peak-level aura inside the grand hall and dared not approach too closely.
Only Le Feng and Yuan Beiting showed concern, âGuardian Shangguan and the Water Moon Sect Master are definitely here to deal with Chen Yu
They just didnât know, facing the might of two behemoths from beyond the national sect borders, could Chen Yu survive under their pressure?
Inside the now ruined grand hall, the dust slowly settled.
Only to see that Guardian Shangguanâs arm had been marked with a bloodstain.
For a junior to wound Guardian Shangguan with one strike would certainly shock many if word got out.
At that moment, Chen Yu rushed out.
The Water Moon Sect Master was still marveling at Ye Luofengâs recent sword stroke when she suddenly saw Chen Yu rushing towards her, seemingly ready to snatch the Moon Spirit Ore Mother from her hands.
"Not so fast!â
The Water Moon Sect Master immediately rose to her feet and lunged with her sword.
Clang!
However, Chen Yu kicked the Water Moon Sect Masterâs precious sword away with one foot.
Even though the Water Moon Sect Master was seriously injured and the power of this sword wasnât five percent of her peak, the fact that Chen Yu kicked away a High Grade Treasure with his bare body shocked everyone who witnessed the scene.
Thump!
Chen Yu kept advancing with his foot, landing a kick on the Water Moon Sect Masterâs ample chest.
The Water Moon Sect Master let out a pained cry, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she staggered backward, but Chen Yuâs speed didnât decrease as he continued to pursue her.
In the end, the Water Moon Sect Master could not evade, and Chen Yuâs foot landed on her soft chest.
Swoosh!
Chen Yu swung his arm and seized the Moon Spirit Ore Mother in his hand.
"Chen Yu
From the side, Guardian Shangguan roared in alarm.
Just moments ago, the Moon Spirit Ore Mother was about to fall into his hands, but a sudden turn of events had placed it back into Chen Yuâs grasp.
"Hehe, what belongs to me isnât something you can just take away. Although the play you put on just now was quite a spectacle, the Moon Spirit Ore Mother is too valuable to be given away as a reward to you two!â
Chen Yu looked down on the Water Moon Sect Master, with an amused smile, and his foot rubbed slightly a few more times.
"Chen Yu, take your foot off our Sect Master!â
Many from the Water Moon Sect immediately shouted out.
Chen Yuâs actions were indeed far too presumptuous, to actually trample the venerable Water Moon Sect Master with his foot like that.
On the other side, the Yunyue Sect Master also felt that Chen Yu was completely lacking in the compassion one should have for the fairer sex.
"Chen Yu⊠you!â
The Water Moon Sect Master shouted in furious embarrassment and immediately rose to her feet, slapping out with a palm.
"Still daring to resist?â
Chen Yu let out a sneer and forcefully kicked down on the Water Moon Sect Master who was under his foot.
Bang!
The Water Moon Sect Masterâs body scraped across the ground and smashed into the ruins behind her.
At the same time, her palm strike landed on Chen Yuâs body, emitting a dull sound as a burst of icy chi spread out, covering Chen Yuâs body with a layer of frost.
Seeing this scene, Guardian Shangguan prepared to launch an attack on Chen Yu to snatch back the Moon Spirit Ore Mother.
However, Chen Yu just stood there, slightly shrugging his shoulders, shaking off all the frost that had formed on him, looking as if nothing had happened to him at all.
This caused Guardian Shangguan, who was just about to move, to suddenly freeze in place, not making his move.
At this moment, Guardian Shangguan recalled the Water Moon Sect Masterâs previous claims that Chen Yu was unfathomable, and now it seemed to be true indeed.
"Haha, you canât take the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, and you canât kill me either. All of you might as well roll back to where you came from!â
Chen Yu burst into laughter.
This statement fell into the ears of the Water Moon Sect Master and Guardian Shangguan, immediately stoking their rage, grinding their teeth furiously. Their faces malevolent and cold, their eyes shining with a fierce light as if they wanted to devour Chen Yu alive.
But the fact was just as it was, they couldnât refute it.
At this moment, they also understood that Chen Yu was indeed provoking them all along, even daring to use treasures like the Moon Spirit Ore Mother as bait.
And they had fallen for Chen Yuâs provocations, engaging in combat against each other.
Of course, the key point was that in the end, they had both been grievously injured, and the Moon Spirit Ore Mother had returned to Chen Yuâs hands.
This was truly a great humiliation in life, two titans of the Chu Countryâs sect world had been played by such a junior.
"Letâs go!â
Guardian Shangguan snorted angrily, leading the people of the Bone Demon Palace to leave the area.
"Retreat!â
The Water Moon Sect Master also got up, dragging her badly injured body, and led her sect members to quickly depart.
"Humph, Weâll see how much longer you can be arrogant!â
Guardian Shangguan sneered coldly, his eyes extremely sinister.
In his view, the main reason for this outcome was Ye Luofeng.
But Ye Luofeng was now wanted by the Lingjian Sect, and he believed the Lingjian Sect would personally take care of Ye Luofeng. When the time came and Chen Yu lost his protection, could he, on his own, keep the Moon Spirit Ore Mother safe?
"Whatever happened today, whoever dares to spread the word, I will make sure they have no grave to be buried in!â
Guardian Shangguan looked at some people from the Bone Demon Palace, then glanced at some people from the Water Moon Sect and snorted coldly.
The Water Moon Sect Master similarly warned her people.
What had happened today was possibly the greatest blemish in her entire life.
"Whatâs the matter? The Guardian Shangguan of the Bone Demon Palace and the Water Moon Sect Master, why are they in such a sorry state?â
"Can it be? Could our Sect Master have had a breakthrough and defeated both?â
Outside, many from the Yunyue Sect were astonished as they watched the battered and injured Guardian Shangguan and the Water Moon Sect Master.
Inside a palace reduced to ruins.
"Nephew Chen, your ploy to stir discord was really clever, making the Bone Demon Palace and Water Moon Sect fight against each other, and even ending in mutual destruction
The Yunyue Sect Master said with a smile.
Although all forces of Chu Country had temporarily united, Yunyue Sect, Bone Demon Palace, and Water Moon Sect used to be enemies, and the animosity was still there.
Today, seeing the Water Moon Sect Master and Guardian Shangguan fighting each other to the death had delighted him greatly.
"And Miss Ye, your cultivation should have reached the Innate Peak, right?â
The Yunyue Sect Master looked at Ye Luofeng with a somewhat ingratiating gaze.
With Ye Luofengâs talent, at most, the Lingjian Sect would take back the Heavenly Que Sword and not harm Ye Luofeng, because, after all, she was sure to break through to the Guiyuan Realm in the future.
Befriending a future Guiyuan Realm cultivator would be greatly beneficial to Yunyue Sect.
"Sect Master, if thereâs nothing else, we shall take our leave,â said Chen Yu.
"Are the accommodations to your liking? Would you like me to arrange for you to stay somewhere else?â
The Yunyue Sect Master asked after some thought.
Chen Yu was currently living in the residence for ordinary Inner Sect Disciples.
"No need, Iâm used to it.â
Chen Yu, accompanied by Ye Luofeng, left the place.
After watching the two depart, the Yunyue Sect Master sighed inwardly.
Even he could not judge what would be the outcome of the situation with Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng being wanted.
The following days were relatively calm.
However, Le Feng and Yuan Beiting frequently visited Chen Yu.
And the incident of the Water Moon Sect Master and Guardian Shangguan being injured and leaving the Yunyue Sect did not spread.
After all, there were only a limited number of witnesses to the scene, and probably, the Water Moon Sect and the Bone Demon Palace had issued a gag order.
Another two days passed.
Chang Xuan, Elder Maoâs disciple and Chen Yuâs fourth senior brother, returned to Yunyue Sect.
Among all of Elder Maoâs disciples, fourth senior brother Chang Xuan had the highest talent. The two had cooperated during the three sectsâ meteoric iron wager and turned the tide.
And before Chen Yu left, Elder Mao had said that it was Chang Xuan who personally arranged for the safety of Chen Yuâs parents; otherwise, they would have certainly fallen prey to the treachery of the Water Moon Sect and the Iron Sword Sect.
However, five years had passed, and whether Chen Yuâs parents were still safe was unknown.
"Junior brother, why have you come back?â
Chang Xuan was both excited and nervous when he saw Chen Yu.
"Canât I come back?â
Chen Yu examined Chang Xuan closely.
Chang Xuan had impressive talent and had already reached the Late Postnatal Stage.
Chang Xuan appeared confused, wasnât Yunyue Sect still putting out a warrant for Chen Yu? How could Chen Yu live in Yunyue Sect with peace?
And what about the Iron Sword Sect, Water Moon Sect, and Bone Demon Palace, had they not made a move to deal with Chen Yu?
