"This finger strike alone, I’m afraid, could penetrate through the True Essence Shield of soone at the Late Guiyuan Realm,"
Chen Yu felt the power of this finger strike and was delighted in his heart.
"Heh, to think that’s sothing to boast about with such little power,"
At his side, the Red Fla King showed his disdain.
"The depth of this secret technique is beyond your imagination. Back in the day, the ’Six-Fingered Demon’ relied on this very skill to run rampant across the land, slaughtering countless people; what a glorious spectacle that was."
"In fact, with your current cultivation, you shouldn’t have been able to master even the first layer, but due to your strong physique and the high grade of the Blood Crystal Fla itself, you’ve managed to forcefully cultivate it."
The "Six Flas Sword Finger" has extrely high requirents for both flas and fingers.
Of this, Chen Yu was also aware; at the very least, he needed to cooperate with the Fla Spirit when executing the first finger strike.
Furthermore, each finger strike causes great damage to his fingers, but luckily Chen Yu’s physique is strong and his recovery ability is outstanding.
If it were an average person, it would indeed be difficult to cultivate this; they might wreck their fingers after just a few days of practice.
After cultivating for another five days, Chen Yu finally took a rest.
With the remaining ti, he used the Primordial Spirit Fla Crystal to enhance the quality of the Blood Crystal Fla.
The ti for comprehending the ruins swiftly ca to an end, and Chen Yu had no choice but to leave.
After leaving, Chen Yu took out a catty of Primordial Spirit Fla Crystal and exchanged it for a hundred contribution points.
This ti, he chose a demonic ruin to comprehend, focusing on cultivating the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" and improving his cultivation.
In twenty days, the fifth layer of the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" was initially completed, and a hint of the fifth demonic pattern began to appear on Chen Yu’s waist.
At the sa ti, the battle skill corresponding to the fourth demonic pattern, the Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist, Chen Yu also beca more proficient in and its power exceeded that of before.
"There are still seven months until my three years in the Holy Land are up, I’ll make one last attempt at passing the second layer of the Tongyun Tower."
Chen Yu returned to his cave and began a lengthy period of closed-door cultivation.
At the mountain peak of Kunyun Sacred Land, within a deep blue, tranquil great hall.
The Great Elder was seated in a high position, flanked by seven or eight figures, each emitting a terrifying aura, including the elderly man who had led the talents from Yun Zhao Country.
"Lately, the Blood Moon Sect has beco increasingly rampant,"
One elder with a black beard grunted.
"It’s also because we previously showed rcy, failing to drive them to complete extinction and root out the problem entirely."
The Great Elder remained calm and composed.
The Blood Moon Sect had once been a heretical force with believers spread across the entire continent, at the peak of its power nearly challenging the authority of the Sacred Land.
The Holy Land, enraged, had united with the three ancient countries to besiege and annihilate it.
The once-renowned Blood Moon Sect thus faded into obscurity.
"We should send out so Holy Guards to give these heretics a good lesson,"
A graceful female elder suggested.
"This series of violent uprisings by the Blood Moon Sect in various places must be deliberate, aid at provoking us to dispatch Holy Guards to deal with them. If there are spies among these guards, it would enable both sides to exchange information."
The Great Elder spoke indifferently, casting a glance at the graceful female elder.
The female elder’s eyes froze for a mont, her complexion shifted, and a sudden chill ran through her heart, "Great Elder, please forgive , I had not considered this."
If one followed the Great Elder’s line of thought, her earlier remark would indeed be playing into the Blood Moon Sect’s hands.
The one thing the Holy Land hated the most were insiders working against it; once discovered, they would be executed without rcy.
"What should we do then?" the elderly man asked.
"With such great unrest going on outside, we naturally need to send people out,"
The Great Elder stated.
"But..."
The crowd lapsed into silence, sowhat unable to grasp the Great Elder’s intentions.
Just now, the Great Elder had suggested that sending out the Holy Guards at this ti would allow them to communicate information with the Blood Moon Sect and so on, so why is he now agreeing to dispatch people?
"While doing so poses a risk to the Holy Land, we can also use it as an opportunity to root out the spies hidden within. Compared to that, the latter brings us much greater benefit,"
The Great Elder revealed a faint smile.
"The Great Elder is wise,"
The flattering female elder said with a charming smile.
"Alright, the overt purpose of this mission is to quell disturbances, but the secret mission is to search for insiders and eliminate mbers of the Blood Moon Sect. I’ll leave the arrangents to you,"
The Great Elder said casually before vanishing in a flash.
Inside the great hall, the oppressive atmosphere eased slightly.
"Such an important task and the Great Elder just leaves it at that?"
The female elder was full of suspicion.
Moreover, the Great Elder had not specified which elder was to make these arrangents, aning that any elder was qualified.
"Be more careful with your words in the future," an elderly woman with gray hair advised through psychic transmission.
"Do you think that if there are insiders among the Holy Guards, there wouldn’t be any among these elders?"
Upon hearing this, the female elder inhaled sharply.
"It’s likely that when the ti cos, whichever elder’s task arrangent has significant issues, that elder will also be subject to thorough scrutiny," the gray-haired lady added.
Indeed, if there was a spy among the elders, they would surely take advantage of this opportunity to pass on so sensitive intelligence; there would definitely be so kind of action.
Although the gray-haired lady had realized this, she dared not speak openly, only warning a female elder with whom she had a connection.
The female elder marveled inwardly at the Great Elder’s unfathomably deep scheming.
Before long, a large number of missions were dispatched, and virtually all of the Holy Guards within the Sacred Land had been sent out.
Compared to exploration and punitive missions, they were more willing to carry out such tasks.
As Holy Guards of the Sacred Land, upon returning to the ancient countries, their status was completely different; even the nobility within the royal families of the ancient countries wouldn’t dare to offend them lightly.
Furthermore, these types of missions were relatively less dangerous compared to exploration and punitive expeditions.
"The Blood Moon Sect?"
Chen Yu heard this word from the mouths of the surrounding Holy Guards.
In fact, when he last visited the Blood Moon Organization, he had guessed that the Blood Moon Organization was the Blood Moon Sect.
After all, the Blood Moon Organization gave Chen Yu such a strong impression; how could an ordinary secret organization grow so silently and massively unless its predecessor was incredibly powerful with a profound foundation? Naturally, Chen Yu thought of the Blood Moon Sect.
"Let’s not worry about that for now."
Chen Yu had long stopped treating the "Hall Master’s mission" as a big deal.
He had just returned from a mission and could rest for a year, and besides, Chen Yu was preparing to challenge the second level of Tongyun Tower to beco a Silver Emblem Holy Guard.
Ten months later, this was the last period of the three years since Chen Yu had entered the Holy Land.
That day, he left his cave dwelling, ready to head for Tongyun Tower.
As he passed, Holy Guards ca and went, and Chen Yu heard their conversations about the Blood Moon Sect’s insurrection, which had not yet been completely quelled.
At this mont, a slovenly man ca down the mountain; upon seeing Chen Yu, his eyes imdiately lit up.
"Chen Yu, I didn’t expect you to co out of the Law Enforcent Hall alive."
Fu Sanguang laughed loudly.
His voice was always loud, so it often attracted many people.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Chen Yu said coldly.
"You’re not dead, which is good. Let’s have a fight to the death, and the victor will have Ye Luofeng."
Fu Sanguang said arrogantly.
"Hmph, it’s not for you to decide."
Chen Yu frowned.
Fu Sanguang’s words made it sound as if Ye Luofeng was an object, a bet—whover won would own her.
Having said that, Chen Yu continued walking upwards.
"Trying to escape again? Last ti you slipped away from using the Law Enforcent Hall as an excuse; what’s your reason this ti?" Fu Sanguang’s eyes looked on with contempt.
"Elder Sanguang, you are a Silver Emblem Holy Guard, and fighting a Copper Badge Holy Guard would hardly seem fitting," said Duan Xinyue, from Sky Star Academy, who was beside Fu Sanguang. She couldn’t do much about him and could only try to persuade him this way.
"Let’s talk after I’ve made it through Tongyun Tower."
Chen Yu snorted coldly.
His return was almost a year ago, and he expected to be sent on a mission soon.
Before that, it would be more convenient to beco a Silver Emblem Holy Guard.
Copper Badge Holy Guards had very little rights in the Holy Land.
"Tongyun Tower? Are you perhaps going to challenge the second level? Hahaha, you are only in the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, and you haven’t been in the Holy Land for three years; do you think you can make it through the second level of Tongyun Tower?"
Fu Sanguang burst into laughter.
This ti, many Holy Guards were drawn by Fu Sanguang’s words.
Not even three years in the Holy Land and only in the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm, how could one possibly get through the second level of Tongyun Tower?
"Good, you go and try the tower then. I hope you succeed. When we’re both Silver Emblem Holy Guards, a fair duel shouldn’t be a problem."
Fu Sanguang put on a magnanimous air.
In reality, he wanted to humiliate Chen Yu as much as possible.
Chen Yu would surely fail in the tower challenge and then be defeated and humiliated by him after. Under this double blow, a genius might very well never recover.
Fu Sanguang beca a Silver Emblem Holy Guard in three years, and Chen Yu’s failure would form even a starker contrast. Don’t won always choose the more outstanding man?
Chen Yu ignored Fu Sanguang and moved on, reaching the base of Tongyun Tower after a distance.
Following him were not only Fu Sanguang and Duan Xinyue but also other interested Holy Guards.
Chen Yu entered the tower, and the second level suddenly lit up.
Humming!
Blue light flickered in the sky, rapidly condensing into a cluster. In a short while, it ford a silhouette—an ordinary-looking man, identical to the Gatekeeper Chen Yu had encountered on the first level.
The difference was the Gatekeeper that appeared on the second level reached the Late Guiyuan Realm in every aspect.
"This person should also be able to perform Late Guiyuan Realm level spiritual attacks, so it’s best to end this quickly."
Chen Yu murmured to himself.
Hum!
Activating his Blood Flood Dragon lineage, golden-yellow scale patterns erged over Chen Yu’s body, his eyes turned fiery red, with flas forming on his head, and a layer of fire clouds surrounded him.
"Madness Demon Slash."
He drew out his Demon Flood Dragon Sword and fiercely attacked.
Outside.
"Duan Xinyue, how long do you think this guy can last? One incense stick or two?"
Fu Sanguang teased.
Duan Xinyue did not answer; she too felt that Chen Yu couldn’t possibly beco a Silver Emblem Holy Guard so soon and that maybe he was trying his luck as the three-year deadline approached.
Chen Yu was a genius, and his strength could perhaps match soone in the Late Guiyuan Realm. However, the second level’s Guardian reached the Late Guiyuan Realm in all aspects, and only by defeating this flawless Guardian could one beco a Silver Emblem Holy Guard.
"Pity, Miss Ye is out on a mission, otherwise I could have asked her, hahaha."
Fu Sanguang never stopped talking.
Suddenly, the second level dimd.
"Hahaha, less than 15 minutes, and that kid couldn’t stand it."
Fu Sanguang’s laughter was louder than ever.
"I told you that kid couldn’t do it."
"But to last only 15 minutes, he’s far from getting through the second challenge. To think he actually ca to try the second level, what an overestimation of himself."
The nearby Holy Guards also shook their heads slightly, as if they had just wasted so ti on a joke.
Just then, at the entrance of Tongyun Tower, Chen Yu slowly walked out.
