How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 193 - 0190: Yunlai Fu Family

Chapter 193 -0190: Yunlai Fu Family

“Yan’er!”

The young boys and girls fleeing in panic let out a cry, revealing an expression of unbearable distress.

At this moment,

Another Cloud Pattern Leopard, with a cunning and bloodthirsty glint in its eyes, suddenly turned to attack Yan’er.

The only young man in black armor in the crowd, at the Qi Transformation Realm, barely managed to hold off the first Cloud Pattern Leopard and was completely unable to come to the rescue.

It appeared that,

This beautiful and charming young girl was about to meet her demise under the fierce pounce of the second Cloud Pattern Leopard.

“Beast!”

Ye Luofeng’s expression turned cold as she transformed into a white streak of shadow, darting between the trees in an attempt to save her.

However,

She was still a dozen feet away from Yan’er and hopelessly out of reach.

Huff!

The Cloud Pattern Leopard raised its sharp claw, emitting a faint red aura that screamed as it brought forth a fierce cold gust of wind, which reached the girl first, shattering her protective inner energy layer with its mere remnants.

“It’s too late!”

As Ye Luofeng floated among the branches and leaves, she drew a white jade-like sword, still dozens of feet away.

Just then, a sharp whistling sound of air being pierced rushed by her ear.

Whoosh!

A dark curved spear shadow, dragging a thunderous sound of tearing through the air, covered a distance of twenty feet in the blink of an eye.

How fast!

Ye Luofeng’s eyebrows tightened as she sensed the astonishing power of the javelin, and the residual force of the Qi swept past, causing her dress to rustle loudly.

“Thud!”

The tip of the dark javelin lit up with a sharp golden light and pierced through the abdomen of the Cloud Pattern Leopard in a flash.

Thump!

The Cloud Pattern Leopard let out a moan as it was impaled by the javelin and dragged back by the immense force for several feet.

“I… I’m not dead?”

The young girl Yan’er, with a pale face, stared dumbstruck at the blood spraying from the abdomen of the Cloud Pattern Leopard as it crashed into two large trees with a loud “boom,” kicking up dust everywhere.

Her mouth hung open in shock, and she looked towards the tall young man in the distance who had intervened.

He was a young man wearing beast hide armor with a somewhat rustic air.

Naturally, that young man was Chen Yu.

For him, killing a common Postnatal Qi Transformation Demon Beast was not a difficult task, especially using his proficient javelin.

Chen Yu walked unhurriedly towards the impaled Cloud Pattern Leopard.

Before he arrived, the huge gash in the Cloud Pattern Leopard’s abdomen had bled too much, its organs were shattered, and it was already dead.

The young boys and girls at the scene stood dumbfounded, unable to snap out of their daze.

“Thank goodness! Thanks to this brother’s righteous help,”

said the young man in black armor, his face full of gratitude.

Yan’er, the young girl, came out of her shock and bowed in thanks to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, walked over to the corpse of the Cloud Pattern Leopard, and methodically retrieved his javelin.

“What are you all still dazed for? With the remaining Cloud Pattern Leopard, if we work together, we can definitely capture it,”

called out the young man in black armor to the other youths of his kin.

However,

Seeing its companion slain with a single blow by Chen Yu, the remaining Cloud Pattern Leopard felt fear.

Zoom!

Before the crowd could surround it, the leopard turned into a gray-white streak and dashed deep into the mountains and forests.

“Beast, stop!”

A cold and stern shout came from the treetops overhead.

In the next instant,

A vision of a snow-white and ethereal beauty, like a translucent dragonfly, “whooshed” past directly above the Cloud Pattern Leopard’s head.

The Cloud Pattern Leopard stiffened, shuddering as if struck by cold, and its eyes filled with terror.

“So beautiful…”

The young man in black armor stared dumbfounded at that fleeting exquisite beauty.

Shick!

A three-foot-long gleaming ice sword light, biting cold to the bone, sliced across the neck of the Cloud Pattern Leopard, leaving a trail of bloody frost on the ground.

Thud!

The Cloud Pattern Leopard stood rigid for a moment or two, finally falling over, its head severed from its body.

“What a powerful sword!”

The young man in black armor’s admiration intensified, mixed with a strong sense of shock.

The surrounding youths stood gaping, their eyes fixed on the icy and jade-like beauty, unable to move, feeling a sense of awe and amazement akin to looking up at a Heavenly Immortal.

At this time,

Chen Yu retrieved his javelin, wiped off the blood, and walked over.

“These fools, was my spear not as impressive as that ice-cold little lady?”

Seeing the petrified youths, Chen Yu snorted disdainfully.

Ye Luofeng, expressionless, seemed to throw a challenging glance at Chen Yu, a sign of “rivalry.”

Ever since the beginning of the transmission battle, Chen Yu had continuously performed miracles, outshining even her— the Postnatal Qi Transformation realm’s top sword talent.

Including the excavation of the tunnel and saving the girl named Yan’er before her.

All these accomplishments were challenging Ye Luofeng’s pride.

For one, she was the most outstanding talent in the Lingjian Sect of Qi Country and even throughout the entire southern Three Kingdoms, never having lost to anyone of her generation.

Furthermore, she had come to a conclusion: whether now or in the future, she would never take a liking to Chen Yu.

The latter was of paramount importance.

Since she had no interest in Chen Yu,

Then her performance and achievements must surpass his, or at least not lag behind.

That was exactly why,

Ye Luofeng demonstrated a seemingly “superfluous” feat, instantly killing the fleeing Cloud Pattern Leopard.

In terms of performance and lethality,

Both had slain a Cloud Pattern Leopard instantaneously, each with their strengths, neither outshining the other.

Nevertheless,

With Ye Luofeng’s beauty as an enchanting young lady, her icy allure added glamor to that sword strike, bringing a strong sense of amazement and shock, naturally overshadowing Chen Yu in the limelight.

“I am Fu Hong, thank you for your help, miss,” the young man in black armor said, coming over with a face full of gratitude and eagerness in his eyes.

In Chen Yu’s eyes, there was a bit of a fawning taste.

“May I ask the noble lady’s surname and given name, and which prefecture’s genius you are? It seems our Yunlai Prefecture does not have a genius as stunning as miss.”

The young man in black armor spoke enthusiastically.

Throughout the conversation, his attention was fixed on Ye Luofeng, almost completely overlooking Chen Yu.

Most of the other young men did the same.

Chen Yu sighed to himself. It was no wonder they say when there’s the opposite sex, there’s no humanity; these young men had completely forgotten who it was that stepped in to save the life of one of their companions just moments ago.

“The young lady’s name is Ye Luofeng; I have been cultivating in the mountains with my teacher. This is my first journey outside with my junior brother, and I know nothing about the outside world,”

Ye Luofeng said, her icy gaze swept lightly over the young men.

Confronted by her look, the young men felt a chill piercing through their souls and shifted their gazes away in shame.

Witnessing Ye Luofeng’s imposing aura and the mysterious origins she casually concocted, there was an involuntary twitch at the corner of Chen Yu’s mouth.

Upon reflection,

The origins Ye Luofeng conjured up were well suited for their “ignorance” about this place.

However,

Chen Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Luofeng’s mention of “bringing her junior brother out from the mountains”.

“Oh!”

“No wonder Miss Ye and this brother have such formidable strength; it must be from the lineage of some hidden master.”

The group of young men believed her story almost entirely.

In this wild forest and seeing a clear and beautiful woman who seemed unworldly, alongside a somewhat rustic but honest-looking young man, indeed fit the narrative of their “origin”.

“This is my junior brother Chen Yu, and it is his first time coming down the mountain. I hope you will all take good care of him and offer guidance,”

Ye Luofeng said, her cool gaze slyly shifting toward Chen Yu.

By presenting herself as his senior sister, she seemed to be deliberately putting Chen Yu a step below her.

“Ah, brother!”

“Brother Chen Yu, you’re very lucky to have such a heavenly fairy-like senior sister,”

The young men finally reacted, greeting him one after another.

Then the young men, including the youth in black armor, introduced themselves.

The young man in black iron armor was named Fu Hong, while the girl who nearly died under the claws of the Cloud Pattern Leopard was named Fu Yanzi.

Most of the other young men also bore the surname Fu.

It turned out,

Fu Hong, Fu Yanzi, and the other young men came from a prominent family in the region of Yunlai Prefecture.

“Our Fu Family is not only one of the three major families of Yunlai Prefecture but also shares a slight connection with one of the four super noble families of Yun Zhao Country, ‘Fu Family’.”

When speaking of their lineage, Fu Hong and the other young men had an unmistakable look of pride.

“These young men all come from one family, and it seems they even have the appearance of some sort of branch family,”

Chen Yu was quite surprised.

The youths ranged in age from about fourteen or fifteen to twenty years old, and all of their cultivations were uniformly at the Organ Refining Stage.

That Fu Hong, barely older than Mei Changqing, possessed a cultivation of the Qi Transformation Realm.

This single fact suggested that the strength and foundation of this Yunlai Prefecture Fu Family far exceeded that of Yunyue Sect and might even be on par with the Bone Demon Palace in terms of power.

“A family from one place, this powerful?”

Chen Yu found it hard to believe that the Yun Zhao Country he had arrived in was such an enormous existence.

Ye Luofeng also seemed to realize this fact.

She then inquired,

“Aren’t there any sect forces here? I have read in ancient texts that most cultivational resources outside are in the hands of sects…”

“Sects?”

The group of young men and women showed a strange look.

“It seems that the two of you have indeed been isolated from the outside world, not even knowing the basic common sense of Yun Zhao Country,”

The youth in black armor, Fu Hong, said with a slightly odd expression.

As if suddenly, everyone no longer harbored any suspicion about the two’s concocted identities and origins.

“Sects? Hehe… In our Yun Zhao Country, ever since the founding ‘Yun Zhao Saint Emperor,’ they have been classified as illegal organizations,”

Fu Hong chuckled strangely.

Sects = Illegal organizations?

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng exchanged glances, their hearts shocked, finding it unbelievable.

In the Beiyuan Three Kingdoms, the world of sects held sway over the entire world, especially regarding numerous cultivational resources.

The sects were the true rulers.

Here, sects had become illegal organizations?

“Our Yun Zhao Country is one of the three great ancient countries of Kunyun Continent, with a history of over ten thousand years.”

“Ten thousand years ago! The first Holy Emperor, ‘Yunyang Lie,’ swept through the eight desolates, blood-washed the sects, integrated the resources of heaven and earth, forged the supreme divine throne, ruled with noble bloodline majestically over the world, and enfeoffed thirty-six prefectures, one prince for each.”

Some young men elaborated on some of the glorious history, spitting as they spoke,

“Ancient country? One of the three great ancient countries of the continent…”

A hint of reverence for the legendary ancient countries shone through Ye Luofeng’s eyes.

“Yun Zhao Country—is this place truly the ancient country mentioned in the ancient texts?”

Chen Yu’s heart raced.

Following,

Through the narrative of the young men, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng got a rough grasp of the situation in Yun Zhao Country.

Yun Zhao Country was indeed one of the ancient countries of the continent as rumored.

However,

Its rulers were no longer sects but the imperial power.

Regarding sects, after the initial “Yun Zhao Saint Emperor” declared his reign, they were either purged and erased or compromised with the imperial power or hid in remote mountains and forests.

In short,

Here, imperial power was supreme, and sect influence waned.

Moreover, Yun Zhao Country possessed vast territories, totaling thirty-six prefectures (an approximate number in reality, there were more).

How large was the area of a single prefecture?

Even the smallest prefecture was as big as Chu Country, and the larger ones could be more than ten times that size.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng were currently in a prefecture named “Yunlai Prefecture.”

The Fu Family was one of the three major families of Yunlai Prefecture.

Such family powers dominated locally, but in the vast expanse of Yun Zhao Country, they were at most considered third-rate forces.
