Eternal Heart Chapter 945: Making Things Difficult

In the Eastern Domain, there flows the Tianyou River, its waters dark and mysterious, teeming with countless wandering souls and ferocious ghosts.

Rumor has it that this is a passageway leading to Hell.

The Yin Clan established itself at the source of the Tianyou River.

"Greetings to the Ye Lingwang."

The guards of the Yin Clan knelt before a figure in the sky.

Ye Lingwang entered the clan’s grounds with a face filled with anger and urgency.

The guards exchanged conversations, not noticing Ye Lingwang’s expression: "Resolved so quickly? Worthy of Ye Lingwang’s decisive actions, indeed."

"Not a single prisoner was taken, it seems those people in ng Family Village have all been slaughtered."

"Ye Lingwang is naturally a decisive and ruthless person, it’s quite normal."

Ye Lingwang, with his keen senses, heard these discussions and was seething with anger.

Due to his repeated failures to root out the rebels of the ng Clan, he personally took action, only to encounter Chen Yu and return empty-handed.

If word of this got out, Ye Lingwang would lose all face.

However, this matter still had to be reported, to show Chen Yu the consequences of provoking the Yin Clan.

"Summon all the elders and the clan leader, I need to report this matter."

Ye Lingwang ordered.

"Yes!"

Yin Changshan imdiately went to carry out the task.

Instantly, the news of Ye Lingwang’s return from quelling the rebellion spread through the Yin Clan.

"I bet Ye Lingwang thinks he has achieved a great feat, and will soon boast about his own prowess."

"He’s likely going to ask the clan for additional compensation."

"Ye Lingwang is becoming more arrogant, it’s nothing more than eliminating a few rebels, with his Condensed Star Realm cultivation, it should have been done with ease. Yet he gathers us upon his return."

One by one, figures gathered in the council hall.

Among the Yin Clan experts present, over a dozen, only less than half were at the Half-step Condensing Star Realm, the rest were Kings.

This clearly demonstrated the profound heritage of the Middle Ancient Clan.

Woosh!

A gust of black yin wind swept by, and suddenly an elder appeared in mid-air above the hall.

His eyes were deep and black, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful, exuding a chilling dignity, clad in a hunting black robe.

"Greetings to the Clan Leader!"

Nurous experts in the hall saluted.

"Ye Lingwang, what matter do you have to report to this clan leader?"

The Yin Clan Patriarch’s face slightly darkened.

If Ye Lingwang was calling for such a gathering only for quelling so rebels, the Yin Clan Patriarch would surely reprimand him.

Many high-ranking mbers wore slight smiles, watching how Ye Lingwang would explain himself.

Feeling the displeasure of the Clan Leader, Ye Lingwang hesitated for a mont, then gritted his teeth and said: "Clan Leader, regarding the recent operation against the ng Clan rebels..."

He decided to co clean.

But just then.

A voice from outside interrupted Ye Lingwang, capturing the attention of the gathered high-ranking mbers.

"King Tianyu has co to visit!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared outside the hall—it was Chen Yu.

As a Condensed Star King, not even the Yin Clan could have him wait outside without notifying him.

"Chen Yu!"

The atmosphere among the high-ranking mbers in the hall changed.

They all knew of Chen Yu’s identity, and most were aware of the situation concerning the half Jade Pendant with him.

There already existed so enmity between the Yin Clan and the ng Clan, thus the presence of Chen Yu, who could not be killed and belonged to the ng Clan’s main branch, was sowhat unsettling.

"How daring of you to co to our Yin Clan."

One of the high-ranking mbers snorted coldly.

"How...did he co here!"

Ye Lingwang was dazed.

He had hurried back to the Yin Clan imdiately to report Chen Yu’s misdeeds, hoping the Yin Clan would dispatch more experts to deal with Chen Yu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, Chen Yu showed up right after him.

"Let him in!"

The Yin Clan Patriarch’s cold voice echoed.

Chen Yu walked in, smiled slightly upon seeing Ye Lingwang, then courteously said: "Greetings to all the elders of the Yin Clan."

Seeing Chen Yu’s friendly deanor, the expressions of the high-ranking mbers slightly improved.

"King Tianyu’s visit surely must have a purpose; however, please wait a mont until the clan matters are concluded and we’ll discuss."

A gaunt, single-eyed elder, exuding a strong chilling aura, sneered.

Everyone present knew that Ye Lingwang had returned from his mission against the ng Clan rebels.

Now, having Ye Lingwang announce the extermination of the ng Clan rebels in front of Chen Yu would undoubtedly make his reaction interesting.

"No problem, you all go ahead."

Chen Yu was in no hurry and sat off to the side.

"Ye Lingwang, you may report now."

The one-eyed elder smirked wickedly.

"...This!"

Ye Lingwang looked hesitant, deeply conflicted inside.

Earlier, he had resolved to confess his failure.

However, with Chen Yu unexpectedly showing up, revealing it was hard to confess, especially since the cause of his failure was Chen Yu himself.

Moreover, admitting it in front of Chen Yu would disgrace the Yin Clan, and the consequences seed sowhat severe.

At this mont, Ye Lingwang felt both embarrassed and a little afraid, unable to speak the truth.

"Ye Lingwang, speak quickly if you have sothing to say!"

The Yin Clan Patriarch furrowed his brows.

It was supposed to be the mont for announcing Ye Lingwang’s triumphant return, yet he hesitated endlessly, making everyone anxious.

"Yes!"

Ye Lingwang bit his teeth, deciding to spill everything.

"To report to the Clan Leader, in the recent operation against the ng Clan rebels, I...returned without success."

The Yin Clan high-ranking mbers initially wore faint smiles, awaiting to witness Chen Yu’s eventual reaction with relish.

After hearing Ye Lingwang’s words, they were all stunned, and their faces gradually beca embarrassed.

Failed!

A dignified Condensed Star King took action, yet returned empty-handed. How incompetent.

Moreover, Chen Yu was right there. All the high-ranking mbers of the Yin Clan felt humiliated, cursing Ye Lingwang a thousand tis in their hearts.

"Why did you fail?"

Although the Clan Leader was surprised and angry, he masked it well on the surface and inquired.

"Then you should ask King Tianyu why he interfered in our Yin Clan’s affairs, hindering this king from capturing the traitor?"

Ye Lingwang angrily glared at Chen Yu.

This ti he suffered a huge loss. Personally taking action to besiege the traitor, only to be defeated by Chen Yu and return empty-handed, losing face in front of all the high-ranking mbers.

Today he was truly out of luck.

The atmosphere in the hall changed, and everyone’s eyes focused on Chen Yu, with pressure reaching the sky.

Yet Chen Yu remained unmoved, like a mountain.

"Oh? So King Tianyu was the one ddling?"

The one-eyed elder imdiately turned cold, his eyes flashing with a chilling glow.

"Did King Tianyu co here today to apologize with a guilty conscience?"

Another high-ranking mber of the Yin Clan said.

Just now, they lost face in front of Chen Yu, and now they found a handle, so of course, they retaliate imdiately.

Especially since Chen Yu belonged to the ng Clan.

With all fingers pointing at Chen Yu, he finally spoke, "When did I ever hinder Ye Lingwang?"

"You... you actually don’t admit it!"

Ye Lingwang was trembling with anger, having never seen soone so shaless.

"I was rely passing by, and you intercepted , suddenly attacking . Do you take for a pushover?"

"In the end, you couldn’t defeat and ca back to falsely accuse , tarnishing the character of the Yin Clan King. I am deeply disappointed."

Chen Yu imdiately shouted, stunning Ye Lingwang.

The facts were certainly not as Chen Yu described, but there was no flaw in his words.

Indeed, Ye Lingwang attacked Chen Yu first, and from beginning to end, Chen Yu never expressed his position, leaving no handle or evidence.

"Nonsense, you clearly obstructed to save your clansn!"

Ye Lingwang shouted angrily.

"Then please provide evidence, Ye Lingwang."

Chen Yu shrugged.

Ye Lingwang trembled with rage, but indeed he had no evidence.

The high-ranking mbers present now roughly understood what had happened.

Chen Yu was definitely helping the ng Clan, but he left no handle, and if he did not admit it, they couldn’t do anything.

Realizing this, Ye Lingwang felt even more tricked, his face flushed with anger and embarrassnt.

Today he had completely lost face.

"King Tianyu, don’t bla Ye Lingwang for pushing this matter onto you. You belong to the ng Clan and just happened to appear there, driving away Ye Lingwang."

"Even if you were truly just passing by, I hope you give your word now not to coincidentally pass by again next ti."

The Yin Clan Patriarch’s eyes focused, and the massive, eerie Soul Path pressure caused Chen Yu’s soul to tremble slightly.

According to Chen Yu’s estimation, the Yin Clan Patriarch’s cultivation was at least at the mid-stage Star Condensation Realm.

"No problem."

Chen Yu agreed promptly, then gave his word: "In the future, I won’t interfere when you besiege any traitors."

By now, the ng Family Village had probably already relocated to the Misty Mountains.

Once they hid in the Green Cloud Secret Realm, how would the Yin Clan find them?

Seeing Chen Yu made a promise, the high-ranking mbers of the Yin Clan were slightly surprised but couldn’t continue pressing.

"Tell , what business do you have with us, the Yin Clan, today?"

The one-eyed elder asked.

"I want to inquire about so matters with the Yin Clan."

Chen Yu stated frankly.

Ye Lingwang showed disdain, as did the rest of the high-ranking mbers.

Chen Yu had just ruined the Yin Clan’s plans and now had requests, how could it be so easy?

However, even without the previous incident, the Yin Clan would not kindly assist Chen Yu.

"Haha, King Tianyu is now a hero of the Great Yu Realm, it should be easy to inquire about matters, why seek our Yin Clan?"

The one-eyed elder chuckled, his mouth curling into a mocking grin.

"The Yin Clan unwilling to help? If I recall correctly, didn’t Yin Clan Kings also suffer from Bloodless Poison?"

Chen Yu chuckled lightly.

The Middle Ancient Clans, although not well-known, were powerful forces in the Great Yu Realm with deep foundations, making them targets for the Blood Race.

The Yin Clan had two Kings affected by Bloodless Poison, but the poison was shallow, so they hadn’t obtained an antidote.

The high-ranking mbers of the Yin Clan had somber expressions; they were aware the antidote to Bloodless Poison was brought back by Chen Yu, making him a hero of the Great Yu Realm with high prestige.

Recently, Chen Yu had even used the antidote as leverage to force the Eastern Domain Nine Tripod Palace’s King to admit mistakes and voluntarily offered ten thousand top-grade yuan stones!

"There’s no need for King Tianyu to worry, we Yin Clan are not so heartless."

"However, asking questions from our Yin Clan requires a price."

After secretly discussing, the one-eyed elder spoke.

"What price?"

Chen Yu had anticipated this; the Yin Clan wouldn’t assist so easily.

"I’ve heard that King Tianyu is exceptionally talented, the most outstanding and youngest Condensed Star King in our Great Yu Realm for nearly a thousand years, even defeating Ye Lingwang. So, I’m curious about King Tianyu’s abilities and would like to see them."

The one-eyed elder’s smile deepened, as a vast and cold aura surged overwhelmingly.

"Is Elder Xin going to take action?"

Ye Lingwang looked joyful.

Elder Xin was the Yin Clan’s Law Enforcent Hall elder, with formidable strength, ruthless thods, and cultivation reaching the peak of the early-stage Condensed Star Realm.

"Do you wish to spar with ?"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Hahaha, I’ve been at the peak of the early-stage Condensed Star for over three hundred years, even if I win against you, it would be a laughingstock if spread."

"For each of my moves you withstand, without retreating more than a hundred yards, you can ask a question."

The one-eyed elder’s mouth curled up, exuding strong confidence.
