In the mist of blood-colored light.
A man and a woman, facing each other.
"Would you be willing to join hands with and walk together..."
A hint of shyness appeared on the girl's jade-like delicate face as she raised her head and mustered her courage.
Chen Yu was taken aback.
He had never expected that Tong Yuling would confess to him and even try to make him stay at the mont of their farewell.
The young woman in his view was no longer the modest beauty of the past; she had transford into sothing mysterious and majestic, embodying an elegant solemnity.
That beauty even put a certain pressure on Chen Yu.
Inexplicably.
Chen Yu rembered the statue of the Blood Robed Woman in the ancestral hall, overlooking the world with a stern deanor.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior sister, but I cannot stay here."
Under the hopeful gaze of the young woman, Chen Yu rejected her.
He was sowhat moved by the superior resources and environnt of the Blood Burial Garden.
However.
He could not "walk together" with her as lovers.
In Chen Yu's mind.
Tong Yuling had always been just a senior sister to him, with no romantic feelings involved.
"You... you actually rejected ..."
Tong Yuling's delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of pain and coldness.
In an instant, a blood-colored light surged around Tong Yuling, and the Blood Lotus Skirt she wore set off a layer of blurry blood lotus phantasms.
Her pupils flashed with a cold blood light, emanating a domineering and stern expression.
Motionless, Tong Yuling stared coldly at Chen Yu.
"Senior Sister Tong, it's not like you to force others."
Chen Yu felt imnse pressure.
At that mont.
Tong Yuling's aura had reached the level of the Qi Transformation Realm, more than doubling i Changqing's strength!
"Don't think I can't keep you here, or about Qiu Xinxin. The matters between you…"
A frost covered Tong Yuling's pretty face, with a hint of domineering intent.
Chen Yu's heart sank as he sensed a great change in Tong Yuling's disposition.
He did not know that his rejection subtly altered the fate of Tong Yuling's peculiar body.
Earlier.
Tong Yuling had been subjected to a body seizing by a powerful entity within the Blood Burial Garden; afterward, that entity's remnant soul was shattered by the backlash of the Blood Crystal Fla.
However.
The shattered remnant mories rged into Tong Yuling's consciousness.
Compared to Tong Yuling's life experiences over the past decade or so, the emotions and soul power from those remnants were far greater.
After rging with this remnant soul power.
Tong Yuling's "humanity" was no longer so pure, influenced by another set of life mories.
Regarding this condition.
Tong Yuling's own heart was also struggling, following the fondness deep within her heart, wishing to keep Chen Yu.
If successful.
Tong Yuling might have returned to her original self.
Regrettably.
Chen Yu refused Tong Yuling, leaving her deeply hurt, and the other half of her personality gained the upper hand.
At this mont.
The domineering aspect Tong Yuling displayed was influenced by the other set of mories.
"Giggle..."
After scrutinizing Chen Yu for a long ti, Tong Yuling's beautiful face showed a reckless and unfamiliar smile.
Suddenly.
She seed to co to a realization, waving her hand.
Whoosh!
A thin gap appeared at the base of the dense blood mist, causing Chen Yu's figure to slowly descend.
Watching Chen Yu disappear into the thin blood mist.
Tong Yuling's smile gradually turned cold, exuding a domineering indifference.
"Now that this deeply hidden ntal anchor has also shattered, I might as well inherit the other half's last wish and resu chaos in the Kunyun Realm..."
A trace of tear streaked down the jade-like face of Tong Yuling, filled with resolute despair.
The original Tong Yuling had not enjoyed much familial love within her clan.
Her parents had passed away early.
The clan raised her hoping only to use her status as a sect disciple to stabilize various interests.
Even.
Before the opening of the Blood Burial Garden, the clan was prepared to betroth her to another family's disciple from Iron Sword Sect, a man she felt nothing for.
...
Swoosh!
Chen Yu fell into the thin blood mist, his body suddenly sinking quickly returning to the outside world.
In that instant.
He breathed a sigh of relief, having faced enormous pressure from Tong Yuling just before.
Even if he had agreed to stay together with Tong Yuling for the sake of the superior environnt of the Blood Burial Garden.
How could he have endured her domineering other side?
All of this blurred right and wrong.
Just like his previous parting of ways with Mu Xueqing, it was each other's choice, with no one to bla.
Whew~
A chill wind swept through, and Chen Yu appeared on the other side of the thin blood mist.
The familiar scent of the Chu Country Battlefield steadied Chen Yu's mind.
In his vision.
A few disciples erged from the blood mist, the blood-colored light screen behind them quickly retracting, soon vanishing into thin air.
Clearly.
Chen Yu was among the last batch of disciples to return.
"Junior Brother Chen!"
Disciples from the Yunyue Sect side of the Three Sects Camp called out.
Zip swoosh!
Chen Yu's figure flickered, landing directly among the Yunyue Sect crowd.
Among the crowd.
Chen Yu saw nearly twenty fellow sect disciples safely return.
Additionally.
So higher-ups from Yunyue Sect, including the Blue Robed Sect Master, Elder Mao, Fairy Xia Yu, and Master Elder Mao, were present, all with expectant expressions.
Chen Yu did not notice.
On the side of the Bone Demon Palace camp, a Blood Robed Handso Man looked at him with astonishnt, observing him for a while.
"Lu Zhuo's Ancient Beast Armor has actually fallen into this child's hands?"
The Blood Robed Man noticed Chen Yu.
Before entering the Blood Burial Garden, he had no impression of Chen Yu at all.
On the other side.
Liu Xin'er stood among the disciples of the Bone Demon Palace, locking eyes with the Blood Robed Man briefly and nodding slightly.
The Blood Robed Man breathed a sigh of relief, his expression as calm as before.
At this mont.
Disciples from both the Bone Demon Palace and the Three Sects Camp returned to their elders, each wearing a relieved expression, sighing deeply.
Those who returned safely from the Blood Burial Garden were undoubtedly fortunate.
"Daoist Lv, as we agreed. All the gains from the disciples of our Bone Demon Palace and the Three Sects will be publicly counted here."
Master Fu said with a light smile.
"Indeed."
Lv Tiezu, with his silver hair and wooden sword on his back, had a void-like sword light flashing in his eyes, sweeping over the many disciples from both sides.
That look seed to penetrate the soul, exposing all secrets.
"Lv Tiezu!"
When that gaze swept over, the disciples present all trembled in their minds.
Chen Yu felt a chill in his heart and mind, "clinking" uneasily, faintly realizing sothing.
Inside the Blood Burial Garden.
He had killed Lv Santong, but only Liu Xin'er was present then, and she was also an accomplice.
Chen Yu didn't know.
Just now, by using the Sword Dao secret technique, Lv Tiezu began to check the many disciples present, sensing the slightest bloodline connection to himself.
After all, Lv Santong was his own grandson.
If the person who acted had killed Lv Santong and had been contaminated with a hint of his essence, he would sense it.
However.
The preliminary investigation did not satisfy Lv Tiezu.
After all.
When Chen Yu killed Lv Santong, he had used a javelin, killing from a distance.
Afterwards.
Chen Yu did not even retrieve the javelin, so naturally, he did not carry any trace of the blood essence related to the deceased.
"Master, what's happening? Why do they need to check all disciples' gains on the spot?"
Chen Yu asked Elder Mao.
At the sa mont.
Many disciples from the three sects asked their elders the sa question.
"This is an agreent between Lv Tiezu and Master Fu. On the one hand, it is to prevent so disciples from hiding their gains; on the other, it seems to ascertain the whereabouts of the Blood Soul Flower."
"Of course, Lv Tiezu also wants to confirm on the spot who the murderer of Lv Santong is."
Elder Mao explained.
Indeed!
Chen Yu's heart shuddered.
Lv Tiezu would certainly try various thods to confirm the identity of the murderer.
Next.
Disciples from the Three Sects and the Bone Demon Palace camp each opened their storage bags and took out various trophies.
Among them.
Those disciples with secret transmissions or true inheritances, had quite impressive gains in their storage bags.
Even a few ordinary disciples had good opportunities, revealing quite a few rare materials.
"Not bad, not bad!"
On the Yunyue Sect's side, Fang Haofei, Mu Xueqing, and Nangong Li all revealed over a dozen three-hundred-year-old heavenly and earthly treasures, including other various rare and unusual items.
Chang Xuan's gain ranked first among the true disciples.
He took out more than twenty plants of three-hundred-year-old materials, including three or four five-hundred-year materials and ten to twenty pieces of spiritual ore that could be used to refine High Grade Treasures, eliciting a wave of awe.
A few elders showed a trace of fervor in their eyes.
"Hahaha… It really is the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower! Though it's only half."
Master Fu laughed loudly.
At this mont, i Changqing opened his storage bag, and the gains inside were at least twice that of Chang Xuan's.
This included half of the Blood Soul Flower and two other items nearly as rare as the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus.
i Changqing's gains imdiately overshadowed everyone else.
Additionally.
So of the secret transmission disciples from the Bone Demon Palace also had more impressive gains than the three sects' disciples.
"Yu'er."
At this ti, under the signal from Elder Mao, Chen Yu opened his own storage bag.
Rustle!
A plethora of heavenly and earthly treasures, exotic flowers and plants, and various spiritual ores and rare materials appeared, emitting astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.
Instantly.
The gazes of many in the audience shifted towards Chen Yu.
"Wow!"
The disciples couldn't help but exclaim.
The heavenly and earthly treasures revealed from Chen Yu's storage bag were all over three hundred years old, numbering sixty to seventy, and there were over a dozen of the five hundred-year variety.
Additionally.
There were also many spiritual ores, mostly capable of refining High Grade Treasures, amounting to over a hundred pieces.
Apart from several seeds and petals of Mysterious Water Moth Lotus and two or three materials valued close to or comparable to Mysterious Water Moth Lotus,
Excluding half of the Blood Soul Flower.
Chen Yu's other gains were at least twice those of i Changqing!
This scene suddenly alard the high ranks of the Bone Demon Palace, who looked towards Chen Yu with astonishnt and great interest.
Suddenly.
Chen Yu felt the hot, greedy gazes on the grounds.
Among them.
The eyes of Lv Tiezu, Master Fu, and the Blood Robed Man were all drawn to Chen Yu.
"Yu'er! Did you gain all of these?"
Elder Mao was extrely excited, his face glowing red, as he scrutinized Chen Yu closely.
He then noticed that his disciple had undergone a trendous transformation, his aura nearing the Qi Transformation Realm.
A glint flashed in his eyes.
One could imagine the great opportunity Chen Yu must have had in the Blood Burial Garden.
"Very good, very good… to have obtained so many five-hundred-year materials, among them even a few rare ores that can be used to refine superior treasures."
A hoarse voice ca.
"eting the Supre Elder!"
At the Yunyue Sect, a white-haired, blue-robed elder floated down before Chen Yu, his face full of smiles and admiration.
"eting the Uncle Master (Supre Elder)!"
Elder Mao and Chen Yu promptly paid their respects to the blue-robed, white-haired elder.
Evidently.
Chen Yu's rich harvest had surprised even the Yunyue Sect's Supre Elder, prompting him to personally make an appearance.
