Eternal Heart
Chapter 778: The Origins of the Blood Moon Sect

The blue-clothed woman’s heart seethed with ashamed rage, but she dared not disobey Chen Yu’s command, and could only stop.

With the strength Chen Yu had just displayed, it was impossible for her to escape, so it was better to obediently follow orders rather than to suffer.

The people from the Yang Family watching from behind were all stunned, their eyeballs nearly bulging out as the cold wind whistled into their mouths.

Before Chen Yu and the blue-clothed woman clashed, they thought that with Chen Yu’s rank four status on the "Pride of Heaven List," he should have some chance of victory, capable of repelling the Cui Clan Elders.

But in the blink of an eye, the previously domineering and aggressively intimidating Cui Clan Elder was sent flying with a kick from Chen Yu, and now, he was heeding Chen Yu’s words obediently.

Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe all of this was real.

"His strength has actually reached such a level!"

The Yang Family Ancestor was inwardly shaken.

He remembered that when Chen Yu first arrived at the Yang Family, his strength should not have been much different from his own.

Years had passed, and Chen Yu had grown to such an extent.

That move, which could have crushed the Yang Family Ancestor, sent the Cui Clan Elder flying with a single kick from Chen Yu.

At this moment, he was immensely relieved about his earlier decision.

"How exactly do you want to settle this, Chen Yu?" the blue-clothed woman turned around, her eyes filled with a chilling hatred.

"Settle what? Since you all came here to investigate my background, shouldn’t I be the one asking what the Cui Clan wants?"

Chen Yu walked slowly, his immense and oppressive aura rushing towards her, causing the blue-clothed woman’s body to tense up.

She bit her lower lip slightly, frowning deeply and remaining silent.

"Not speaking? Then, no one from the Cui Clan present here today shall leave."

Without pressing further, Chen Yu simply swept his cold gaze across the crowd.

Those under his gaze felt as if eyes from hell itself were staring them down, fear welling up from the depths of their hearts.

Cui Yan’er took a step back, her delicate body chilling, as she lowered her head, not daring to meet Chen Yu’s eyes.

"Not speaking?"

Chen Yu looked at the blue-clothed woman coldly, slightly raising his palm as a mass of black-patterned True Yuan fluctuated into being, exuding a grim killing intent.

At that moment, the blue-clothed woman trembled all over, sensing a severe crisis emanating from Chen Yu.

"I’ll speak."

The blue-clothed woman immediately opened her mouth.

"Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect have always been hostile sects, and some of your previous actions have offended many people of Heavenly Jade Sect. After your sensational performance in the ranking battle of the ’Pride of Heaven List,’ you have become a thorn in the side of Heavenly Jade Sect..."

In one breath, the blue-clothed woman spilled everything.

In reality, the entire Heavenly Jade Sect wanted to target Chen Yu.

And it was the Cui Clan who took the initiative to investigate Chen Yu’s origins, looking for a way to break him.

Chen Yu felt relieved, it seemed that his choice to not mention his connection with Kunyun Realm after arriving in the Great Yu Realm was correct.

His experiences had broadened, now knowing that in the vast cosmos, many smaller realms were controlled by larger realms, or by the powers of major sects, treating the people within as tools or slaves.

Just like the Stone Cloud Realm he had joined for examination, which was originally an alien realm and had now fallen into the hands of Black Demon Valley, becoming a training ground for the disciples to venture into.

"I will persuade the higher-ups of the Cui Clan to stop being your adversaries," the blue-clothed woman said, having revealed everything, now seeking a way out for herself.

"Don’t tell me that just on your word, the entire Cui Clan will change their attitude?"

Chen Yu let out a cold laugh, feeling a surge of killing intent in his heart.

In that instant, all the people from the Cui Clan present felt as if they had fallen into an abyss, their hearts filled with nothing but despair.

"Chen Yu," the Yang Family Ancestor suddenly called out, while the others also looked panicked.

If the Cui Clan members, including the genius Cui Yan’er and the Venerable Elder, were to die in the Yang Family’s territory, Chen Yu would be safe in the Black Demon Valley, but the Yang Family would definitely suffer disaster.

For the Cui Clan, annihilating the Yang Family would be effortless.

At that moment, the blue-clothed woman also genuinely felt Chen Yu’s intent to kill.

Her spirit was shocked, not doubting Chen Yu’s boldness in the slightest.

After all, Chen Yu was a True Disciple of Black Demon Valley, and his Master was a Condensed Star King.

"Wait, if you spare me, I promise I will convince the entire Cui Clan to stop being your enemies."

The blue-clothed woman’s expression was one of frightened panic, somewhat flustered.

In her heart, she despised Chen Yu, but compared to death, that was nothing.

Surviving was better than anything.

"Snort, if there’s a next time, in the future, if I see a single person from the Cui Clan, I will kill them."

Chen Yu snorted coldly, lowering his arm.

If he killed these people of the Cui Clan here, it would indeed strain relations with the Cui Clan and bring calamity to the Yang Family.

At that moment, the people from the Cui Clan all heaved a sigh of relief, feeling the joy and gratitude of having narrowly escaped death.

"Let’s go."

The blue-clothed woman spoke in a low voice and swiftly retreated.

The rest of the Cui Clan followed, all fleeing, scared that Chen Yu might suddenly change his mind.

"Chen Yu, I didn’t expect you to return here."

The Yang Family Ancestor faced him with an expression full of relief.

The other higher-ups at this moment, when facing Chen Yu, even felt somewhat unsure of speaking up.

The times had changed. Chen Yu now stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation in the entire Southern Domain.

"I just stopped by to see how the Yang Family has developed in recent years."

As Chen Yu walked, he inspected the place, noting that the Yang Family had now recovered some thirty or forty percent of its vitality.

If they continued to develop like this, in a few decades, they could return to their former glory.

After a few casual exchanges, Chen Yu prepared to leave.

"Yang Ancestor, you can go to Black Demon Valley and mention my name; from then on, you’ll be under their protection. Even the Cui Clan would not dare act rashly against you."

Chen Yu left these words before departing.

He did not wish to cause the Yang Family any trouble because of himself.

But for the Yang Family, Chen Yu’s simple words were a great opportunity.

From then on, the Yang Family could enjoy the protection of the Black Demon Valley, developing more securely.

Even if the Cui Clan still refused to change their attitude, they couldn’t act recklessly against the Yang Family.

"I never imagined that a nameless child I casually brought back to the Yang Family would reach such heights. He truly is the Yang Family’s great benefactor."

A golden-robed elder watched Chen Yu depart, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

One month later.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng landed gracefully beside a silver river that stretched out beneath them.

At the source of this river seemed to be a huge moon embedded in the earth.

If it were a moonless night, one might mistake the moon in the sky for having fallen there.

The Four-star Force of the Southern Domain, the Evil Moon Sect, was established on top of this uniquely shaped mountain, resembling a "moon".

Approaching it, one could clearly see the various structures atop it, resembling palatial buildings on the moon—majestic and aloof, commanding respect.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Evil Moon Sect.

Chen Yu saw two beautiful figures standing there; they were the Yin-Yang Twin Moons.

Both sisters looked at Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng with displeasure.

Yang Yue had suffered losses at Chen Yu’s hands, and Yin Yue had been defeated by Ye Luofeng in a challenge, losing her superior position.

"I didn’t expect the Yin-Yang Twin Moons would personally welcome Chen."

Chen Yu said with a smile.

The Yin-Yang Twin Moons glared at Chen Yu, not saying much, as they indeed came to welcome him.

The Evil Moon Sect had a sensory barrier within a thousand zhang radius. Any creature that entered would alert the higher-ups.

The elders had assigned them to greet the visitors, so they had no choice but to come out.

Following the Yin-Yang Twin Moons’ lead, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng entered the Evil Moon Sect unobstructed.

"Senior Sister Yan."

Along the way, many members of the Evil Moon Sect greeted the Yin-Yang Twin Moons.

"That’s Chen Yu, the prodigy ranked fourth in this session’s ’Prodigy List’."

"Such a beautiful woman. It’s said that she easily defeated Yang Yue at the Food God Banquet, taking a place among the upper seats."

With the Yin-Yang Twin Moons away, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.

Before long, they arrived in front of a solemn and austere palace.

An elderly man with a long beard sat tranquilly on a wooden chair inside the palace, savoring his tea.

"Greetings to the King!"

Upon seeing the elder, Chen Yu bowed.

The other was not only a ruling elder of the Evil Moon Sect but also the exalted Condensed Star King. Moreover, Chen Yu had come seeking a favor.

"Chen, Miss Ye, you’ve come to inquire about that symbol, haven’t you?"

The elder grasped his staff, stood up, and got straight to the point.

The Yin-Yang Twin Moons didn’t leave but stood attentively to one side, listening silently.

"That’s right. I wonder if the elder has discovered anything?"

Chen Yu asked calmly.

"This symbol indeed has records in the Evil Moon Sect."

The staff-wielding elder spoke slowly.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng felt a tinge of joy in their hearts.

The Blood Moon Sect was a force within the Kunyun Realm. Unexpectedly, the Evil Moon Sect had relevant records; there must be a connection between the two.

"Please enlighten us, elder."

Chen Yu expressed a hint of gratitude.

"Hundreds of years ago, an outer-region exploration team from the Evil Moon Sect discovered a new realm and entered it, establishing a sect that ruled over the entire realm."

"This force was named the Blood Moon Sect."

The staff-wielding elder didn’t keep them in suspense, revealing the connection between the Blood Moon Sect and the Evil Moon Sect directly.

"Elder, was that outer-region expedition team..."

The Yin-Yang Twin Moons looked somewhat uneasy.

"That’s right; the leader of that team was none other than Yan Xuetian."

The staff-wielding elder sighed lightly.

"Grandfather!"

Yang Yue’s expression changed slightly as she recalled some matters her father had mentioned.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng exchanged a look, feeling slightly surprised.

This Yan Xuetian—wasn’t he the Sect Hierarch of the Blood Moon Sect?

"It turns out the people from the Blood Moon Sect originally came from the Evil Moon Sect of the Great Yu Realm."

"In that case, the Evil Moon Sect may have a way to send us back to the Kunyun Realm."

The two communicated through voice transmission.

"However, just after the Blood Moon Sect sent back some brief messages, it lost contact with the Evil Moon Sect."

The staff-wielding elder changed the subject.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng had some speculations.

Perhaps initially, the Kunyun Realm was under the control of the Blood Moon Sect, but later they fell to another group of people. The Holy Land changed hands, taken over by a different race.

"I wonder if your sect can find the realm where the Blood Moon Sect was located?"

Chen Yu asked tentatively.

Logically, the Evil Moon Sect should have found it if possible, as they lost contact with the Blood Moon Sect a while ago.

The Yin-Yang Twin Moons also looked on, wondering if the elders of the Yan family could return.

"Previously, the Evil Moon Sect searched but found no clues, and the matter was forgotten. However, seven years ago, the Evil Moon Sect suddenly received a signal. For the past few years, we have constantly sent teams to search."

The staff-wielding elder revealed a slight smile.
