"Show him what we’re capable of!"
With the command from the Evil Witch King, the rest of the subordinates activated the power of the Array.
The Array Barrier covering a radius of a thousand feet was lit up with eerie runes, emitting strange blood-red light that shone towards Guan Hongri.
Guan Hongri felt the vitality within him being drained, and his soul was disturbed. Together with the tornt and disruption of the Chaotic Soul Curse, Guan Hongri felt his vision constantly swaying, and his body felt out of sync.
In this state, he could only exert about seventy percent of his strength at most.
Moreover, those controlling the Array could also mount attacks.
Their attacks amplified by the Array’s power were not to be ignored; Guan Hongri constantly slashed with his palm to shatter the enemy’s assaults.
"Don’t bla us, it’s you who killed my n first. Hand over the storage space obediently, and you can avoid the tornt."
The Evil Witch King, looking down from above, threatened Guan Hongri.
"Don’t slander , I never killed anyone!"
Guan Hongri gritted his teeth and retorted.
Coming from the Heavenly Martial Sect to this place, he hadn’t had any disputes on the way, so how could he have killed soone from the Evil Witch King?
Was it possible he accidentally killed soone before?
The Evil Witch King frowned slightly; this disciple from the Heavenly Martial Sect didn’t seem like the type to do sothing and deny it after.
"Did you verify the information? Is it really this guy?"
The Evil Witch King sent a ntal inquiry to one of his subordinates.
"I’ve confird it. I personally captured a mber of the Cheng Family to ask them."
A subordinate replied.
He did capture a Cheng Family mber for interrogation. But once the Cheng mber ntioned that a disciple from the Heavenly Martial Sect killed the purple-haired elder, this subordinate got scared and ran away.
"It seems that disciples from the Heavenly Martial Sect indeed dare not own up to their actions."
The Evil Witch King remarked with disdain.
Given the situation, irrespective of the circumstances, they had to make a gain, or they’d lose out on this venture.
Within the Barrier.
Guan Hongri summoned a golden great blade, its surface ablaze with golden flas, like a scorching sun, slashing forward.
Boom!
Guan Hongri’s slash was imnsely powerful, causing the blood-red barrier to shake violently and leaving a cut.
Although Guan Hongri’s soul was affected and his state was unstable, he could still unleash a full-force attack.
With his strength as the second on the Heavenly Martial List, a single move could carve a small opening.
Whoosh!
Guan Hongri dashed forward; as soon as he exited the barrier, he feared no longer the Evil Witch King.
"You can’t escape."
"Once we feed this brat the ’Blood Soul Gu,’ he won’t dare not obey."
The Evil Witch King’s body enveloped in blood-red light, and his withered claw struck the Array Barrier.
Instantly, a blood-colored withered claw erged from the incision, striking towards Guan Hongri.
This unexpected scene caught Guan Hongri off guard. Affected by his soul’s disturbances, he couldn’t respond in ti and had to dodge aside.
"Evil Witch King, if you have the guts, battle fair and square! If you win, I’ll give you my storage space."
Guan Hongri shouted angrily.
"Hehe, ’fair and square’ has nothing to do with ."
The Evil Witch King sneered wickedly.
Guan Hongri’s expression was gloomy and angry, feeling sowhat frustrated inside.
What a situation; he had co to ambush Chen Yu but ended up being ambushed by the Evil Witch King.
With this powerful Array present, as long as the Evil Witch King prevented him from breaking out soon, Guan Hongri’s odds of winning would dwindle over ti.
...
After leaving the Cheng Family, Chen Yu headed to the nearest cultivation city, using the Transmission Array to return to the Heavenly Martial Sect faster.
"The gains this ti are substantial."
Initially, Chen Yu only intended to complete a small task to comply with the sect’s rules.
The task took rely a day, but the rewards were plentiful. Besides the bribes from the two families, he obtained a High Grade Profound Artifact, several Primordial Stones and cultivation resources, and a bottle of "Blood Soul Gu."
"There’s a fight up ahead."
Chen Yu sensed the chaotic fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Not one to shy away from trouble, he continued on his path, casually observing the commotion.
Upon approaching, Chen Yu discovered that soone familiar was in the battle—Guan Hongri.
"What’s he doing here?"
Chen Yu felt slightly puzzled.
Elsewhere.
Guan Hongri also noticed Chen Yu.
He had been stalemated with the Evil Witch King in the Array for a while now, appearing pale and bearing several light wounds.
"He’s here, damn it, these guys ssed up my plan."
Guan Hongri cursed internally.
The plan he hadn’t even executed had already failed.
Even more frustrating was that his current miserable state was seen by Chen Yu.
"Damn, another Heavenly Martial Sect disciple."
The Evil Witch King also noticed Chen Yu, startled.
"You’d better leave quickly, or you won’t be able to leave at all."
Guan Hongri used Chen Yu’s presence to threaten the Evil Witch King.
He didn’t want to seek Chen Yu’s help but, at this mont, rely having Chen Yu stand there was a form of intimidation.
The Evil Witch King and his n began contemplating retreat.
Yet, Chen Yu suddenly spoke, "I’m just passing by, saw nothing, you all continue."
Chen Yu didn’t have a good relationship with Guan Hongri and found him slightly detestable, so he pretended not to see and intended to head to the cultivation city.
After all, with Guan Hongri’s prowess, he couldn’t possibly die here, could he?
Chen Yu thought for a mont. He felt he shouldn’t fully trust Guan Hongri—if Guan Hongri died, he’d be held accountable as well.
Thus he added, "As long as you don’t kill him, I’ll pretend I saw nothing."
The Evil Witch King and his n were dumbfounded.
Could they have encountered a fake disciple from the Heavenly Martial Sect?
"Rest assured, we wouldn’t dare harm a disciple from the Heavenly Martial Sect even if our guts were bigger. We only wish to force him to hand over the storage space."
The Evil Witch King laughed.
With his rich experience and sharp insight, he imdiately saw that although Chen Yu and Guan Hongri were disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect, there was a gap between them.
Hearing Chen Yu’s conversation with the Evil Witch King, Guan Hongri was completely speechless.
"Chen Yu, you... you are colluding with the evil path to harm the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect."
Guan Hongri glared and shouted.
"Am I? I’m just passing by and haven’t seen anything. As for harming the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect, aren’t you still alive?"
Chen Yu laughed and flew away.
"Wait, don’t go."
Guan Hongri shouted anxiously.
He had been in a stalemate with the Evil Witch King and others for a while, and at this mont, he was a bit weak, finding it difficult to break through their encirclent.
If Chen Yu left, he might really be defeated by the Evil Witch King and others, having his storage space snatched away.
His lifeti of fa, how could he fall into the hands of an evil person.
"Does Senior Brother Guan have a request?"
Chen Yu stopped, revealing a faint, proud smile.
Guan Hongri’s face darkened, asking Chen Yu for help... he really couldn’t bring himself to do it.
But if he didn’t, his lifeti of fa...
Seeing Chen Yu about to leave, Guan Hongri gritted his teeth and said sothing that shad him: "Junior Brother Chen, I’m begging you... help your senior brother."
"Heh heh."
Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Since Guan Hongri had pleaded for his help, he couldn’t very well refuse, especially since there wasn’t any deep enmity between them.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Almost simultaneously, the Evil Witch King hurriedly shouted, flying away in escape.
With his experience, he clearly understood the current situation. Upon hearing Guan Hongri ask Chen Yu for help, he knew it was ti to retreat.
"You cunning disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect!"
While fleeing, he couldn’t help but curse.
"Evil Witch King, this king won’t let you go."
Guan Hongri imdiately rushed out, intending to kill the Evil Witch King.
Boom!
His whole body rose a sky-high golden fla, and the golden saber in his hand beca extrely dazzling, slashing fiercely, its golden light illuminating the world.
Boom rumble!
Everything before him was split into two with this slash, creating a two-thousand-foot long chasm in the earth.
One of the Evil Witch King’s n turned to ashes under this strike.
But just as Guan Hongri chased after them, he found Chen Yu hadn’t followed, "Junior Brother, why are you..."
"I see Senior Brother is seriously injured; we should hurry back to the Heavenly Martial Sect."
Chen Yu smiled.
Having saved Guan Hongri, he thought he had done enough. Why should he help the other take revenge?
Guan Hongri wanted to get angry but couldn’t. He could only scowl and return.
Since Chen Yu wasn’t coming with him and Guan Hongri wasn’t at his peak, what if he got trapped by the Evil Witch King and others again if he pursued?
"Hmph."
Guan Hongri snorted coldly, finding Chen Yu more and more displeasing to the eye.
The two returned to the sect without saying a word, like strangers.
However, Chen Yu curiously asked, "Senior Brother Guan, with your strength, how did you get trapped by the Evil Witch King?"
The Evil Witch King and Guan Hongri were both five-star half Kings, but in a one-on-one fight, Guan Hongri would certainly win.
"This king was ambushed. If it were a frontal fight, the Evil Witch King would have long died under my blade."
Guan Hongri said coldly.
"Why did the Evil Witch King ambush Senior Brother?"
Chen Yu asked again.
"I don’t know the exact reason, but this evil person said this king killed his capable subordinate, which is complete nonsense."
Guan Hongri said unhappily.
"The Evil Witch King’s subordinate?"
Chen Yu imdiately thought of the purple-haired old man he had killed at the Cheng Family and said, "I did kill an evil person earlier; I wonder if it’s related to the Evil Witch King."
Guan Hongri stopped in his tracks, his face livid.
Damn it! .
This was the only thought in Guan Hongri’s mind at the mont. He wished he could teach Chen Yu a lesson and humiliate him now.
Clearly, Chen Yu had killed the subordinate of the Evil Witch King.
The Evil Witch King was lying in ambush there, waiting for Chen Yu to fall into the net, but because he couldn’t figure out the killer, he ended up targeting Guan Hongri, who happened to be passing by.
"Senior Brother Guan, why aren’t you moving?"
Chen Yu asked dumbly.
In his heart, he was secretly laughing. The Evil Witch King had intended to ambush him but ended up ambushing Guan Hongri.
But why was Guan Hongri here?
Whoosh!
Guan Hongri, with a sullen face, flew away quickly.
"Hey, Senior Brother Guan, wait for ..."
...
Guan Hongri was incredibly fast, leaving Chen Yu behind and returning to the Heavenly Martial Sect first.
After returning to the Heavenly Martial Sect, Chen Yu went to the Sect Affairs Hall to collect his mission reward.
"The mission reward is not even one-tenth of what the mission yielded."
Chen Yu left the Sect Affairs Hall.
Occasionally, missions could be profitable or provide opportunities, so there was a group within the sect who were keen on taking them.
After returning to his cave abode, he settled in for closed cultivation.
Taking out all the cultivation resources obtained from this mission, Chen Yu intended to stay in seclusion and break through to the four-star half level in one go.
Operating the "Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique."
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the secret chamber entered his body, and the natural treasures in front of him transford into streams of light, absorbed by Chen Yu.
Filtered through his mysterious heart, these various cultivation resources, even many that were aid at the evil and demonic paths, all transford into pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, integrating into the Star Sea, filling the not yet complete fifth Primordial Power Star.
After such a long ti, Chen Yu, without the need for detailed observation, realized that the new physique born from the evolution of his mysterious heart was the "Chaos Body."
With the Chaos Body, plus the assistance of the Azure Dragon Sacred Wood Leg, Chen Yu’s cultivation level increased at an extrely fast pace.
