How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 169 - 0166: The Curtain Falls

Lu Yun City, battlefield area.

The "blood-colored light screen" in mid-air was gradually dimming within its projected manifestation.

Not just that.

The blood pattern array diagrams within the battlefield area were also shrinking and fading away.

"It hasn't even been ten days; is the Blood Burial Garden about to leave this space?"

"Ancient records indicate that the garden's previous openings lasted at least half a month, or even a full month."

The high-ranking practitioners of the Qi Transformation Realm from both camps discussed in low voices.

A war that swept the entire sects of Chu Country, summoning out the Blood Burial Garden through blood sacrifice, was it to last for such a short time?

"It seems the closure of the Blood Burial Garden will be a certainty. What do you think, Xue Feng, how much longer can it last?"

Master Fu's gaze swept toward the gracefully robed and handsome youth beside him.

At this moment.

The youth in the blood robe had already come to terms with Lu Zhuo's death and regained his usual calm demeanor.

"Control over the situation is lost. Judging from the projection phenomena of the Blood Burial Garden, the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower must have been plucked, and some abnormal change has occurred within the garden."

The youth's gaze flickered uncertainly.

However, a hint of a smile emerged on Master Fu's face.

Lu Zhuo had died, but his direct disciple "Mei Changqing" was still unharmed and well.

If.

The Blood Soul Flower had already been plucked, then the chances would be greater for the capture by the Bone Demon Palace.

"Fortunately, Liu Xin'er has not let me down; she should have completed the mission..."

The youth in the blood robe murmured to himself.

In his palm, he was also holding another Jade Talisman, which flashed and then vanished.

"The Blood Soul Flower will most likely be taken out by outer sect disciples, not completely out of reach."

The youth's expression was calm and collected.

As for Lu Zhuo's death, he was not overly concerned.

After all, the latter was but a temporary reinforcement sent by the organization, a younger genius suitable for this place.

Just then.

Whoosh!

A bright orange sword bloom, emanating an overwhelming Sword Qi from the distant clouds, pierced through the air.

Some of the Innate Strong Practitioners present felt a tingling in their minds.

The fearsome Sword Dao aura caused both Master Fu and the youth in the blood robe to slightly change their expressions.

"Lv Tiezu!"

Figures from the Bone Demon Palace and the Three Sects Camp looked up to see a silver-haired elder with an orange-yellow wooden sword on his back, cutting through the sky from the clouds—he was "Lv Tiezu," the Supreme Elder of the Iron Sword Sect and the foremost figure of the Three Sects.

"Lv Tiantong, what brings you here so abruptly, and what guidance do you have?"

Master Fu held a dark scepter and called out his name directly.

Seeing Lv Tiezu's imposing and displeased appearance, Master Fu was also on guard.

Looking across the Three Sects, only Lv Tiezu, this trump card, could make the Bone Demon Palace apprehensive.

"Who exactly was it that killed Santong... this old man must find the culprit."

From Lv Tiezu's eyes burst a cold gleam that seemed to pierce through space.

The terrifying murderous chill made some Innate Practitioners at the scene shudder in fear.

"Supreme Elder! Are you saying... Lv Santong died in the Blood Burial Garden?"

The Sect Leader of the Iron Sword Sect and several elders spoke cautiously.

"My lifebound soul token has shattered!"

Lv Tiezu gave a cold snort, his gaze as sharp as a sword fixed upon the blood-colored light screen that was fading before his eyes.

Upon hearing the news.

The elders from the other two sects, Yunyue Sect and Water Moon Sect, felt a burst of satisfaction.

"Good riddance!"

"Lv Santong, that scoundrel, caused trouble in all directions, and violated countless women, it truly serves him right!"

"Had it not been for Lv Tiezu's protection, I would have executed that villain long ago."

Some high-ranking figures from the Three Sects silently cheered internally, albeit not daring to show it outwardly.

In truth.

Lv Santong's identity as the Infinite Thief had been a rumor amongst the high ranks of the Three Sects for some time.

In the past.

One or two Qi Transformation Realm elders had wanted to strike down the Infinite Thief, but due to their fear of Lv Tiezu, they could only admonish him lightly at most.

However, at the same time.

These secretly rejoicing elders also felt a chill for the one who had killed Lv Tiezu's grandson.

If they weren't careful, with Lv Tiezu's heaven-reaching abilities, he might well uncover the murderer.

"Oh? Lv Daoist, do you have any suspects?"

Master Fu spoke with a hint of interest.

This time in the Blood Burial Garden, the death rate of the entered disciples was almost fifty percent.

Before this.

Shangguan Qi, Yi Yunfei, Helian Tu—elite disciples had all perished within.

Among them, the Guardian Shangguan asserted that Shangguan Qi's death was at the hands of Chen Yu.

As for the death of Yi Yunfei.

The beautiful female Sect Master of the Water Moon Sect had not determined the culprit, nor did she suspect Chen Yu.

After all.

Before entering the Blood Burial Garden, Chen Yu was merely in the Early Stage of Organ Refining, still far behind Yi Yunfei's Late Stage of Organ Refining top-notch strength.

"A suspect? This..."

Lv Tiezu's expression faltered slightly, showing a bit of awkwardness.

The death of Lv Santong truly made it difficult to pinpoint a suspect.

After all, this man had committed numerous wrongdoings and offended many.

For instance, among the women Lv Santong had harmed, there were many suitors behind them.

If Lv Santong fell into a disadvantageous position, anyone from the Three Sects or the Bone Demon Palace camp might take advantage of the situation to cause his death.

"However. As soon as the Blood Burial Garden closes and those disciples come out, this old man has ways to confirm the culprit."

Lv Tiezu's voice grew heavier, full of self-assurance.

The various high-ranking officials present did not doubt Lv Tiezu's methods.

Not only was he of the Guiyuan Realm, but he was also directly related by blood to Lv Santong.

If the culprit was the slightest bit sloppy in the act of murder, or if they carried any items related to Lv Santong out, there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that Lv Tiezu would sense them.

...

Inside the Blood Burial Garden.

In the days that followed, the disciples of the Three Sects began to scour the garden for treasures.

Since Chen Yu defeated Mei Changqing, the disciples of the Bone Demon Palace kept a low profile, one after another.

The disciples of the Three Sects searched for the remaining rare materials and treasures with great fanfare.

Meanwhile, when the disciples of the Bone Demon Palace encountered the disciples of the Three Sects, they quickly evaded them and dared not confront them directly.

This scene.

Was a stark contrast to when Blood Burial Garden had just opened.

Some disciples of the Three Sects were amazed by this change until they learned of the fact that the siblings Chen Yu and Chen Ying'er had defeated the secret disciples of the Bone Demon Palace.

Of course.

Most people did not witness it with their own eyes and believed it was due to Chen Ying'er's Qi Transformation Realm's ancient beast's prowess.

For some powerful ancient beasts to surpass cultivators at the same stage in the Qi Transformation Realm is considered normal.

In any case.

After learning the news, the disciples of the Three Sects were overjoyed and moved boldly within the garden.

In a hidden valley of the Blood Burial Garden.

"Brother Mei, do we really need to swallow our pride and retreat everywhere?"

"As long as we don't clash head-on with Chen Yu and the others, why should we fear the rest of the Three Sects' disciples?" several secret disciples said through clenched teeth, unwilling to concede.

Since that day, after Bone Demon Palace's strategic retreat, Mei Changqing ordered all disciples to avoid the Three Sects at all costs.

"Just be patient. We've gotten half of the 'Blood Soul Flowers', which at least makes us half winners," Mei Changqing said calmly.

Deep down, he was even worried about a possible counterattack from Chen Yu, Tong Yuling, and Chen Ying'er.

Moreover.

When he fought with Chen Yu that day, he even had an illusion that Chen Yu seemed to be holding back.

Fortunately.

Chen Yu did not pressure Bone Demon Palace further and seemed to have given up on the other half of the Blood Soul Flowers.

Indeed, Chen Yu had given up on the other half of the Blood Soul Flowers.

He didn't want to push Mei Changqing too desperately; moreover, if he obtained the other half of the Blood Soul Flowers, he couldn't monopolize them anyway, and would have to turn them in later.

"Brother Mei is right. Given the situation, we can only yield and try to preserve our forces. Once we return to the world outside, our Bone Demon Palace will dominate the sects of Chu Country, and we'll have opportunities to take revenge," Jiang Ping said with a light sigh.

...

On the third day after Chen Yu defeated Mei Changqing.

Buzz~

The entire Blood Burial Garden space vibrated slightly, and the blood moon overhead flickered uncertainly.

"What's happening! Blood Burial Garden is closing so soon," Mei Changqing exclaimed in surprise.

This sign indicated that Blood Burial Garden was about to disengage from its overlap with the land of Chu Country.

However, amongst the Three Sects' camp.

Especially Yunyue Sect, this was not too unexpected.

Chen Yu had already informed everyone that Blood Burial Garden was going to close early.

At that moment.

A team from Yunyue Sect gathered in front of an arched bridge in the central garden.

Chen Yu, Chang Xuan, Fang Haofei, Xie Jing, and others gathered together.

"Junior Brother Chen, your judgment was very accurate," Fang Haofei said, surprised.

"This was also what Senior Sister Tong told me," Chen Yu said with a smile.

He sat cross-legged and quietly sorted through the spoils of war on his person.

This time, the gains from Blood Burial Garden were incredibly substantial.

Just the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of three to five hundred years old numbered in the dozens, not to mention other rare flowers, peculiar herbs, and precious ores, which were also numerous.

However.

According to the promise of Yunyue Sect, the disciples could only keep up to thirty percent of their personal gains.

Chen Yu estimated that his own gains were so substantial that it was uncertain whether he would be able to keep the agreed-upon thirty percent.

Before this.

He planned to collect the necessary spoils into his private space.

Soon.

Chen Yu managed to barely stuff the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid, Puppet Sphere, three Mysterious Water Moth Lotuses, the ancient token, and a few extremely rare precious ores and materials into the Light Silver Crystal Space.

This included the Green Moss Poison Mushroom and the Black Blood Strange Grass he had obtained before.

Black Blood Strange Grass, as Tong Yuling had pointed out, was a superior strange grass that could promote the awakening of Bloodline Power when consumed.

To the hidden Ancient Clans of the continent, this strange grass was a priceless treasure, even more precious than the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus.

"Almost there..."

Chen Yu looked at the filled Light Silver Crystal Space with a bit of regret in his heart.

He could not accommodate the beast skin armor he was wearing, including other large-sized treasures.

However.

Once he left for the outside world, Chen Yu should be able to retain one or two portions of items and select some spoils that would benefit him.

Hmmm!

Moments later, the light blood-colored space where everyone was began to shake.

Within view.

The various scenes in the space gradually faded.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A layer of blood fog appeared around the many disciples, their figures sinking into it and quickly becoming hazy and indistinct, disappearing from sight.

"Huh?"

Chen Yu realized that he was standing in the blood fog but had not left.

Whoo~

A strange blood-colored fog enveloped Chen Yu.

Suddenly.

In the blood-colored fog before him, a stunningly beautiful girl appeared, with a Blood Lotus Mark on her forehead and wearing an exquisite Blood Lotus Skirt, looking noble and out of this world.

A thick layer of blood-colored fog embraced both Chen Yu and Tong Yuling.

"Senior Sister Tong..."

Chen Yu looked on in surprise at this scene.

"Junior Brother Chen, I have a way to stay behind in Blood Burial Garden or to become its master. Would you be willing to join me, hand in hand..."

A hint of rosy shyness graced the girl's face.

Seemingly mustering courage, her bright eyes shimmered with a hint of longing as she looked at the tall young man before her.
