How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 149 - 148: The Truth Behind the Rumors

Treasure Beast Garden, a nearby high ground.

Yunyue Sect's three people, Chang Xuan, Mu Xueqing, and Nangong Li, sat in meditation together.

"It's strange, why did Junior Brother Chen suddenly leave? Could he truly be indifferent to the benefits offered by the Treasure Beast Garden?"

Nangong Li's face was filled with confusion.

Not long ago, Chen Yu had hurriedly parted ways with them, offering only a brief greeting.

"Before he left, Junior Brother Chen sent me a message, if he doesn't show up within two hours, he wants us to act on our own. Also, he told us not to hold too much hope for the Treasure Beast Garden."

Chang Xuan's face showed a peculiar expression.

Hearing this, Nangong Li and Mu Xueqing had thoughtful looks on their faces.

Chen Yu's hasty departure must mean he had discovered something.

Not much time passed.

Light footsteps were heard from a distance, and several figures were faintly discernible.

"It seems there are some fellow disciples."

With a Token in hand, Chang Xuan was even more vigilant.

Soon.

Several Yunyue Sect disciples appeared in view, led by a well-dressed man.

It was the Seventh Prince, Huangfulin.

"Senior Brother Huangfu."

Chang Xuan and the others stood up to greet him.

In terms of talent and cultivation, Huangfulin was among the top in the sect, having reached the Peak of Refining.

Moreover, he was lucky enough, barely qualifying at the twenty-year-old limit, to enter the Blood Burial Garden.

"Junior Brother Chang, Junior Sister Mu is here too..."

Huangfulin's face beamed with joy.

Ever since he entered the Blood Burial Garden, he had been laying low.

At first.

When Chen Yu grabbed the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus and was chased by the Demon Clown, Huangfulin did not offer help, resulting in the death of a female disciple due to the fallout.

Seeing the powerful Chang Xuan, Huangfulin's spirit lifted.

At this moment.

The meeting of two Late Stage of Organ Refining disciples brought their numbers to six or seven, significantly strengthening their group.

"Oh? Has Junior Brother Chen appeared? But, Junior Brother Chang, are you really planning to aim for this Treasure Beast Garden?"

During their conversation, Huangfulin revealed a hint of strangeness.

"What, does Senior Brother Huangfu have some insight into this Treasure Beast Garden?"

Nangong Li sensed something was off.

"That's right."

Huangfulin spoke earnestly, "I advise you all to give up such wishful thinking. Those powerful ancient creatures are not something we can simply sign Spirit Pet contracts with."

Upon hearing this.

Chang Xuan and the others slightly changed color.

"Our Imperial Family has sorted out some rumors about the Blood Burial Garden. Especially about a predecessor from three to four hundred years ago who signed a contract with an ancient creature and has some connections with our family."

Huangfulin began to tell the story.

"Are there any secrets to this?" Nangong Li's interest was piqued.

"First, we need to understand a common knowledge. A so-called 'Spirit Pet contract' usually has humans as the master and the Spirit Pet as the vassal. This is inherently an unequal contract!"

Huangfulin paused briefly.

Chang Xuan and the others nodded in agreement.

Once such a contract is signed, the life and death of the Spirit Pet are at the whim of the human.

It is a form of slavery!

Consider this.

How could ancient creatures with old bloodlines and high intelligence stoop to signing such a contract with humans?

"Three to four hundred years ago, that lucky predecessor met an ancient creature from the Guiyuan Realm whose cultivation had fallen. But the contract they signed was not a typical Spirit Pet contract, but one of equal mutual benefit."

Huangfulin slowly unveiled the secrets.

"I've heard of this kind of contract before, where both parties have restrictions on each other, but there is no distinction of master and servant. If one party dies, the contract automatically dissolves."

Nangong Li nodded.

In a normal Spirit Pet contract, if the master dies, the Spirit Pet is implicated and suffers backlash.

"According to our Imperial Family's analysis, the ancient creature that signed a contract with that predecessor used this special contract relationship to leave the Blood Burial Garden. In the end, that predecessor's death was likely due to the critical inaction or even scheming of the creature, allowing it to die and thus gaining complete freedom for the beast!"

By the end, Huangfulin's face turned cold.

Knowing this secret, Chang Xuan and the others gasped in shock.

It turned out that the legendary fortunate one was, in fact, used by a powerful ancient creature all along.

Reflecting on it, it made sense.

Those powerful ancient creatures, being wise, would never simply submit to a human as a servant.

Such events only occurred in the fairy-tale-like heroic sagas.

...

An hour later.

In front of a broken hall in the Central Garden.

A breathtakingly beautiful girl, as graceful as a fairy and gentle as a calm stream, floated over.

This hall, also protected by an Array, was unlike others in that it was enveloped by a Silver Pattern Blood Curtain.

"This must be the place."

The exquisite girl observed the hall and then surveyed the surroundings to ensure there were no other figures.

If any Yunyue Sect disciples were present, they would certainly recognize the girl.

This elegant and peerless girl was Qiu Xinxin, who had once betrayed the Yunyue Sect.

"Break!"

Qiu Xinxin raised her hand, and in her palm appeared a strange Silver Pattern Blood Talisman, which she flicked toward the hall.

Buzz crack!

The Silver Pattern Blood Talisman released a crack-like silver pattern blood light, tearing a three-foot-wide and over ten-foot-high gap in the barrier's light curtain.

The next moment.

Qiu Xinxin flashed into the light curtain, quickly slipping into the ancient and dilapidated hall.

Buzz!

The slashed-open Silver Pattern Blood Curtain healed completely within two or three breaths, visible to the naked eye.

Shortly after Qiu Xinxin entered the hall.

Swoosh!

A slovenly man carrying an ironwood treasured sword suddenly appeared.

"Tsks tsk, this top-tier beauty seems to harbor some secrets," Lv Santong sneered.

Initially, at the Hidden Lake Conference, after witnessing the stunning beauty of Qiu Xinxin, he was unable to forget her.

However, what could he do?

Qiu Xinxin later betrayed the three sects and returned to the Bone Demon Palace's fold, making it difficult to make a move against her.

But this time,

after entering the Blood Burial Garden, Lv Santong had no scruples.

He possessed a bizarre ability to identify women by their scent and had recently located Qiu Xinxin, who was alone.

"Maybe this time, I can gain both wealth and pleasure."

Lv Santong's face showed excitement as his eyes appraised the ancient, dilapidated hall before him.

As the direct grandson of "Lv Tiezu," his knowledge was naturally considerable.

The position and layout of the hall—particularly the Array restrictions set up—were no trifles.

After a moment of contemplation,

Lv Santong gritted his teeth, decided to take a risk, and took out an orange-glowing, sword-shaped Jade Talisman.

"Go!"

Following the gap Qiu Xinxin had just cleaved open, Lv Santong's sword-shaped Jade Talisman slashed down.

Whoosh!

A dazzling orange sword light, like a streak of silk, struck the Silver Pattern Blood Curtain, and with formidable power, tore open a gap two feet wide and five feet high.

The might of that strike was almost comparable to the Qi Transformation Innate.

Swoosh!

Lv Santong's figure flickered, following into the ancient, dilapidated hall.

However,

Lv Santong did not realize that, twenty paces behind him, concealed among the weeds, lurked a Silver Spot Iron Worm.

In less than ten breaths,

a tall and sturdy young man appeared in front of the ancient hall, eyeing the Silver Pattern Blood Curtain.

Go!

Chen Yu gestured, directing the Iron Moon Strange Insect to approach the old hall from beneath the ground.

But he discovered

that the Array's light barrier even enveloped the area near the ground. Clearly, the one who set up the Array restrictions did not leave such a basic flaw.

Zoom!

The Iron Moon Strange Insect emerged from the soil and burrowed into Chen Yu's sleeve.

Ever since feasting inside the body of the Qi Transformation Realm Snake King, the aura of the Iron Moon Strange Insect had reached a peak, only a hair away from the Postnatal Qi Transformation.

"This hall..."

Chen Yu, with a thoughtful look and a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, also recognized the extraordinariness of the hall.

Other vital areas were protected at most by a single layer of Blood Path restriction, yet this place featured an additional, stronger layer.

The miraculous talisman in Qiu Xinxin's hand seemed to be specifically aimed at that restriction.

And Lv Santong's Jade Talisman, which erupted with might almost comparable to Qi Transformation Innate, barely managed to break through the blood curtain using brute force.

This was even when most of the garden's Array restrictions had lost nearly ninety percent of their potency over time.

However,

Chen Yu did not have the background of these two people, nor could he produce a correspondingly power artifact.

Thump thump! Thump thump!

Chen Yu's heart entered a slow, peculiar rhythmic beating, sensing the Copper Pattern Blood Curtain in front of him, trying to find its flaws.

What happened next was extremely surprising to Chen Yu.

Pop!

Between the beats of his mysterious heart, the silver patterns on the blood curtain began to agitate randomly, accompanied by a subtle, profound fluctuation.

Chen Yu's senses easily captured a layer of silver crystalline patterns.

This was not only easier than sensing other Blood Path energy fluctuations, but also more detailed and intense by a factor of ten or more.

Even more so,

when Chen Yu's mind merged with his heart, he felt a faint sense of familiarity, similar to when he touched the ancient metal ball containing Empty Ming force.

Thump! Thump, thump!

Chen Yu stimulated his heart and found that the silver patterns on the blood curtain grew even more agitated, so much so that they seemed uncontrollable by the Array and even dissipated a bit.

His mysterious heart seemed to be able to disrupt the Empty Ming force within the blood curtain.

"How strange."

Chen Yu, pleased with his discovery, boldly approached the Silver Pattern Blood Curtain and controlled his heart to interfere with the silver pattern power.

Buzz pop! Pfft!

After deliberately disrupting it with his heart, a portion of the silver pattern on the nearby blood curtain suddenly dispersed, causing a chain reaction with the surrounding curtain.

In that instant,

a fatal flaw and discontinuity appeared in the Array's restriction there.

Break!

Chen Yu threw a punch into the air, sending out a vicious python-like dark shadow wrapped in a thunderous roar.

Pfff!

The dim-to-the-point-of-extinction Silver Pattern Blood Curtain was punched through, revealing a gap.

Although the gap wasn't as large as the previous two, it didn't prevent Chen Yu from entering.

Creak creak!

Chen Yu's bones made a crisp sound as he shrunk slightly in stature, then with a "swoosh," he slipped through the gap and into the blood curtain.

As the gap on the blood curtain gradually healed, Chen Yu quietly entered the hall.

At this point, the previous two had already been inside for some time.

Inside the hall was a soft, dimly-lit blood light, with blood-colored Luminous Pearls embedded in the surrounding walls.

Boom! Clang clang!

Suddenly, the sound of a fight came from within the depths of the hall.

"Lv Santong... You actually traced me here. Today, you cannot be allowed to leave."

A woman's voice, chilly with intent, sounded.

Chen Yu was taken aback and quickly sent his insects to scout.

Deeper within the hall,

stood a ten-zhang-tall statue depicting a peerlessly beautiful woman dressed in a Lotus Blood Robe, exuding a chilly aura as if she looked down on the world.

In front of the statue, a man and a woman were locked in fierce combat.

Qiu Xinxin, wielding a blood-colored crystal sword, slashed out a swath of blood-colored sword light, powerful and grand, nearly rivaling the might of the Postnatal Qi Transformation.

With Lv Santong's strength, he was somewhat suppressed and could only barely keep up using his advantage in movement technique speed.
