Chapter 109 -0109: ssage Leaked
"Surround this place!”
Yan Hong stood on a high ground, his face gloomy, commanding about twenty to thirty n in black.
Each of these cloaked figures possessed cultivation levels above the ridian Passage Stage, wielding blades, bows, and chains, encircling the courtyard where Chen Yu and his two companions were located.
Alongside two other Organ Refining Stage elders from the Yan Family, Yan Hong looked down coldly at the trio in the courtyard.
"Yan Hong! Do you really want to rebel? Attacking a Sect Envoy from your own sect, do you realize the consequences?”
Chen Yu’s expression darkened.
...
"Unfortunately for the three of you, you had a chance to return to the sect safely, but the news has leaked, and none of you can escape now.”
A sinister coldness appeared on Yan Hong’s face.
"Leaked news?”
Chen Yu swept a speechless glance at Fang Haofei, who carelessly stirred the grass and startled the snake while tracking and investigating outside.
Fang Haofei, with an embarrassed face, muttered, “It’s not completely my fault; you’ve been lounging around in the castle, leaving to toil away.”
"Hmph! Just the three of you, at the early to mid stage of Refining, think you can take us on?”
Mu Xueqing scoffed with cold laughter.
The trio were all Inner Sect Disciples, with profound cultivation techniques and martial skills, normally no match for secular cultivators at the Organ Refining Stage.
"What if we join the fight, little girl?”
A hoarse and cold voice ca from the night sky.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
A black-feathered bird of prey swooped down from the sky, with a robed elder standing atop it, holding a red patterned staff in his hand.
This person released a majestic and surging internal energy, bordering on the Qi Transformation Realm.
"Peak of Refining!”
Both Chen Yu and Mu Xueqing were jolted, their expressions growing serious.
Fang Haofei said with a bitter smile, “That was the old man I detected while tracking. I didn’t expect them to react so quickly and pursue us all the way here.”
Woohoo!
Suddenly, a couple of demonized jackals leaped out nearby, bearing several large, sinister figures atop them.
"Demonized jackals, mbers of the Bone Demon Palace.”
Chen Yu felt a chill in his heart.
Such demonized jackals were standard mounts for formal mbers of the Bone Demon Palace.
Chen Yu had seen these mounts in the battle at Beishan Spirit Garden.
"Junior Brother Chen, you are the leader. What do we do now
Fang Haofei was panicking.
At this mont.
The enemy’s lineup was far superior to their own.
Just the robed elder at the Peak of Refining, with his frightening energy close to the Qi Transformation Realm, was enough to give the trio a hard ti.
At this level, it often required a couple of true disciples to join forces to stand a chance.
Three Demonized Jackal Wolf Knights, judging by the flowing internal energy, one late stage and two mid-stage of Refining, could normally handle two to three Inner Sect Disciples under normal circumstances.
Moreover.
The three Organ Refining Stages from the Yan Family, including Yan Hong, were relatively weaker, but their numbers were great, surrounded by many ridian Passage Stage n in black.
"What to do? We’re outnumbered, so of course we run!”
Chen Yu rolled his eyes.
Easier said than done.
Into Chen Yu’s palm appeared a “Yin Fire Pearl”. The advantage of the Light Silver Crystal Space beca apparent in this situation.
Using a storage bag would involve a physical action of retrieving the item.
With the Light Silver Crystal Space, Chen Yu’s will alone could bring the item to his hand or another part of his body.
With good use of this “Yin Fire Pearl,” annihilating several Organ Refining Stages or even slaying that Peak Refining Elder was quite possible.
"Fire at them!”
Yan Hong smirked from the high ground.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, a group of crossbown erged in the nearby area and imdiately fired dozens of armor-piercing arrows, directly targeting Chen Yu’s trio.
Such armor-piercing arrows had been dealt with by Chen Yu before; they were very lethal to those at the ridian Passage Stage.
In large numbers, they could also put pressure on those at the Refining Stage, requiring internal energy to counter.
"Ting ting ting
Chen Yu, Mu Xueqing, and Fang Haofei, back-to-back, swung their blades, flicking away all the incoming armor-piercing arrows.
A hint of coldness appeared on Yan Hong’s face.
He certainly did not expect these arrows to kill the Inner Sect Disciples; providing so pressure to hinder their escape was enough.
"I’ll count to three, and you’ll follow to break through,”
Chen Yu whispered in a low voice.
"Three!”
As Chen Yu uttered the first number, it was loud enough that even the enemies outside, including the robed elder and Yan Hong, could hear.
Just when Mu Xueqing and the others wondered what was going on.
"Two (Ah)!”
As soon as he finished speaking, sothing unexpected happened.
"Ah!”
With a scream, Yan Hong on the high ground suddenly fell to the ground.
A thumb-sized blood hole appeared on his head.
This scene threw the Yan Family side into chaos, with the other two Organ Refining elders horrified.
The attack from the crossbown also paused.
The n in black surrounding the courtyard were elite troops secretly trained by Yan Hong.
With Yan Hong dead, chaos ensued!
"Charge!”
Chen Yu shouted lightly, seizing the opportunity to break out with Fang Haofei and Mu Xueqing.
"Whoever blocks shall die!”
In Chen Yu’s hand, the Xuan Heavy Sword danced, creating a wind-like flurry of sword qi that was a blur of gleaming silver and shadows to the naked eye.
"Ah! Ah! Ah
Screams rose and fell as four or five n in black at the ridian Passage Stage were instantly shredded and their blood and flesh scattered.
Now.
Chen Yu’s swordsmanship had exceeded the Iron Gang Sword, blending lightness with heaviness into his execution – he was using “Light and Heavy Sword Technique.”
His seemingly casual stroke was actually an area-of-effect sword qi whirlwind.
That single slash directly slew four or five ridian Passage Stages, sending both friend and foe into shock.
Quickly,
Junior Brother Chen and his two companions leaped out of the courtyard, breaking through the encirclent of the n in black.
Such an easy breakout occurred partly because of Yan Hong’s sudden death, which caused Yan Family Castle to lose its backbone, including two of the clan elders of Yan Family Castle who panicked.
"Haha! Worthy of being the leader Fang Haofei exclaid jubilantly.
After the trio broke out, only one man in the late stage of Organ Refining, mounted on a Demonized Jackal, was tightly pursuing them.
"Think you can escape!”
The robed elder wore a sneer, unhurried as he stood on a flying creature, chasing after Junior Brother Chen and the others from midair.
The rest of the enemies Junior Brother Chen did not take seriously.
However, this robed elder posed a threat to Junior Brother Chen that even surpassed the purple-haired youth from the Bone Demon Palace he had faced before.
"We can’t escape; they have mounts and flying creatures.”
Mu Xueqing’s brows were tightly furrowed.
Just then,
Two more Demonized Jackal Wolf Knights, along with two or three worldly experts in the Organ Refining Stage—two old n and an old woman—appeared in the direction of the trio’s escape.
"Those three old folks are from the Wu and Lin families nearby; I’ve seen them during my investigation,” Fang Haofei recognized them at a glance.
Suddenly,
Junior Brother Chen and his two companions were blocked by the enemy from both the front and the back.
"We really can’t escape, huh.”
Junior Brother Chen sighed.
His insects, close to the ground, had already sent out their senses.
Actually, if Junior Brother Chen were to flee alone, it wouldn’t have been a big problem.
Now that his Copper Statue Technique—Copper Bone Small Success—was mastered, almost nobody under the Qi Transformation Realm could threaten him.
However, he couldn’t just abandon Mu Xueqing and Fang Haofei.
Whish whish!
Junior Brother Chen and the other two alighted on a hill, flanked by so trees, which could diminish the advantage of their pursuers’ mounts and flying creatures.
"We can only fight now.”
Junior Brother Chen’s Xuan Heavy Sword in his hand suddenly swept back like a feather floating in the air, slashing towards the late-stage Organ Refining Jackal Wolf Knight who was closely chasing them.
"Clang clang!”
The old man in the late-stage Organ Refining stage changed his complexion drastically as the spear in his hand almost fell out, and his palms were splitting, bleeding.
It was hard to imagine that the light and breezy sword could suddenly carry such terrifying power.
Bang!
His figure was blasted back by the sword, nearly vomiting blood.
That man barely escaped disaster, but his mount, the Demonized Jackal, whimpered and was crushed under Junior Brother Chen’s sword, blood splattering on the spot.
"Not bad, huh.”
Junior Brother Chen revealed a hint of surprise.
The man’s reaction was speedy, and his strength was exceptional; he managed to retreat by diverting his force in ti, under the cyclical slash of the “Xuan Heavy Sword.”
The opponent’s strength wasn’t much worse than the purple-haired young man from the Beishan Spirit Garden battle.
"Team Leader Zheng, are you okay
Two Demonized Jackal Wolf Knights supported the retreating spear-wielding man.
Junior Brother Chen’s sword forced back “Team Leader Zheng” and crushed the Demonized Jackal, causing several others from the Bone Demon Palace to reveal a hint of surprise.
Even the robed elder took another careful look at Junior Brother Chen.
Whish whish! Swish swish!
At this mont, a total of five Demonized Jackal Wolf Knights from the Bone Demon Palace, along with the robed elder and several secular Organ Refining experts, surrounded Junior Brother Chen’s trio.
"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Sister Mu, it’s my fault that I’ve dragged you into this Fang Haofei said bitterly.
Their current situation was so dire that escaping with their lives would be difficult, much less escaping unscathed.
"Brother Yu, are we going to die together?”
Mu Xueqing’s pretty face turned pale as she gazed at the upstanding and resolute figure beside her, silently resigned.
Of the three, only Junior Brother Chen remained calm, not showing the slightest trace of panic.
"Tsk tsk, quite a number of people
Junior Brother Chen chuckled to himself, looking at the circle of eight or nine Organ Refining experts and a group of ridian Passage Stage n in black, as well as the two flustered Organ Refining clan elders from Yan Family Castle.
He wondered to himself how many could be killed if he used his one remaining Yin Fire Pearl.
Just as Junior Brother Chen was considering whether to waste his last Yin Fire Pearl, a disturbance arose from behind.
"Ah ah
Shouts of agony rang out, and the n from Yan Family Castle and the Wu and Lin families at the ridian Passage Stage kept falling continuously.
Thump! Thump! Shoom!
Suddenly, four or five figures, both male and female, charged over in this direction.
Leading them was a burly middle-aged man wielding a long spear, slashing out an array of fierce spear Qi, instantly cutting down three or four ridian Passage Stage n in black.
"Senior Brother Pei!”
Fang Haofei cried out joyfully.
"Tong Yuling
Junior Brother Chen was surprised to recognize one of the striking girls.
Senior Brother Pei, Tong Yuling, and the others were mbers of the Yunyue Sect tasked with investigating and clearing out the Bone Demon Palace minions in the nearby area.
Upon a closer look,
Including Senior Brother Pei and Tong Yuling, there were five mbers from the Organ Refining Stage, all belonging to the Yunyue Sect.
The other three, two in the early stages of Refining and one at the mid-stage. Their overall strength was decent and had indeed beco a formidable force.
However,
Junior Brother Chen was sowhat puzzled as to how Senior Brother Pei and Tong Yuling and the others managed to arrive just in ti.
"Heh heh, good thing I was clever. When I discovered so signs during the investigation of the Wu and Lin families, I contacted the nearby secular strongholds of the Yunyue Sect and left a ssage for Senior Brother Pei and the others,” Fang Haofei shared with a touch of pride.
He cursed inwardly: Damn this leader, always neglecting his duties, so I had to figure out another plan myself.
"So that’s it.”
Junior Brother Chen nodded in approval, feeling relieved: He almost wasted his last remaining Yin Fire Pearl because of this idiot.
"Hahaha… This small Yan Family Castle has actually shocked the ‘Qian Steward’ of Bone Demon Palace. Your Excellency must be the person in charge of the ‘Beiyun Six Counties’ area for Bone Demon Palace.”
Senior Brother Pei laughed heartily, taking long strides towards them.
Along with the five Organ Refining experts including Tong Yuling, as they collectively charged, the Organ Refining experts from the secular world of Yan Family Castle, as well as the Wu and Lin families, couldn’t hold them back at all.
"Ah!”
On the spot, an Organ Refining elder from the Wu and Lin families was impaled and flung by Senior Brother Pei’s spear.
