Eternal Heart
Chapter 802: Probe

Today, almost all members of the Blood Moon Organization in Hongyi Prefecture gathered here to welcome the arrival of the new elder.

With the presence of an elder-level powerhouse, they felt somewhat more at ease.

Next, several high-ranking members reported some important events to Chen Yu.

The main events could be summarized as the clashes with Hongyi Royal City and matters related to the Shang Family.

As the lord of the prefecture, Marquis Hongyi naturally knew his domain concealed many remnants of the Blood Moon Organization. The royal palace, being a force of the royal family, naturally tried its best to eradicate them, leading to significant clashes between both sides.

Regarding the Shang Family, according to the presented information, most high-ranking members speculated that the Shang Family seemed to have a mindset of resisting the royal family and might be looking to recruit or ally with others.

After listening to the many opinions, Chen Yu thought these were trivial matters.

If all these small matters needed him to decide, wouldn’t that be maddening?

"You should continue as before. Unless it’s something important, there’s no need to report to me."

He indeed came here to make some achievements and deal a heavy blow to the Holy Land.

He couldn’t be bothered with these trifling issues.

He believed that by letting his subordinates act freely, enemies would surely come knocking.

Therefore, Chen Yu felt at ease staying here, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

"This Elder Chen doesn’t seem to manage things much."

"That’s just as well. Although Elder Chen is strong, he certainly doesn’t understand management. If he were to issue random orders, it would be like sending us to our deaths."

Most people were quite happy about Chen Yu’s laissez-faire approach.

After all, in this world, most people don’t like being controlled and acting according to others’ orders.

Inside the room, Chen Yu spent all his time cultivating.

His cultivation had long reached the limit, and with some preparation, he could break through to the mid-stage Sky Sea Realm.

But the timing wasn’t right; he didn’t know when the enemy might attack. It wouldn’t do to be in secluded cultivation at such a time.

Moreover, there was a possibility of an internal traitor within the organization.

Therefore, Chen Yu spent his time comprehending the "Demonic Descent Six Heavens" and refining the "Mystical Instrument."

"Master was right; it’s extremely difficult to refine this mystical instrument with my ability."

Chen Yu gazed at the black Fangtian Hua Ji in front of him.

Black flames raged on it, with demonic qi surging, emanating a domineering aura threatening the world.

If it weren’t for Chen Yu setting up a restriction, the phenomena caused by this mystical instrument’s appearance would have destroyed all nearby buildings.

"But it’s not entirely unrefinable."

During the first stage of the Heavenly Rankings Battle, Situ Lin Yu had once given Chen Yu a secret technique as a token of gratitude, which could be used to quickly refine a spiritual artifact.

Although this secret technique works best on spiritual artifacts, it is not entirely ineffective on mystical instruments.

At this moment, Chen Yu felt that this secret technique had some effect.

Within the Fangtian Hua Ji, a destructive black dragon seemed to be hidden, arrogant and domineering, resisting Chen Yu’s will.

Chen Yu was unhurried, slowly wearing it down, gradually penetrating and mastering the mystical instrument.

That night.

"Elder Chen."

Yu An’s voice came from outside.

Chen Yu put away the Fangtian Hua Ji and immediately said, "Come in."

Yu An, one of the two Hall Masters here, had also helped him quite a bit when he first arrived. Chen Yu had a good impression of him.

The room door opened, and Yu An led a cloaked middle-aged man in.

As soon as they entered, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, instinctive fear and trembles coursed through their bodies and souls.

They were inexplicably shocked, wondering why entering Chen Yu’s room brought such a terrifying sense of crisis?

Only Chen Yu knew that this was the aura left by the Fangtian Hua Ji.

"I am ’Yu Xia,’ paying respects to Elder Chen."

The cloaked middle-aged man bowed deeply.

"What do you want?" Chen Yu asked calmly.

"Elder Chen, my daughter is still in the Holy Land. Please, Elder Chen, save my daughter."

The cloaked middle-aged man, "Yu Xia," showed a sorrowful and pleading expression.

"Yu Bu Yu, right?"

Chen Yu roughly guessed.

Among the ten ancient clans, the Yu Family, Lu Family, Tang Family, and some other families had long allied with the Blood Moon Organization.

Hall Master Yu An was from the Yu Family, and since this visiting middle-aged man also bore the surname Yu, Chen Yu surmised as much.

"That’s right, my daughter is being enslaved and controlled by a Sacred Land Elder using a spiritual secret technique. I beg Elder Chen to save my daughter."

Yu Xia spoke with some agitation.

After all, Yu Bu Yu was currently in the Holy Land, which belonged to the enemy’s camp.

He had also participated in the last great battle of the Holy Land, aware that the Sacred Land Alien Race enslaves many humans and even self-destructs to kill enemies.

Just thinking about it made him extremely worried.

And within the entire Blood Moon Organization, with its complex network of forces, including the three ancient kingdoms, few were willing to help him.

But Chen Yu was Yu Bu Yu’s senior brother and had now reached the Sky Sea Realm. If Chen Yu were to prioritize this matter, there might still be hope to save his daughter.

"Please, could you recount the situation in detail?"

Chen Yu’s gaze concentrated slightly.

Yu Xia then narrates everything he knows, although the information is quite limited.

He only knew that Yu Bu Yu was taken as a disciple by the Guardian Lan Yue of the Holy Land, that her cultivation progressed rapidly but had never been on the battlefield, not having left the Holy Land.

"The Holy Land is vigorously cultivating a human, it’s impossible not to put them to use."

Chen Yu frowned slightly, feeling there might be other hidden secrets in this matter.

Never leaving the Holy Land, how could he go to save?

Moments later, the two from the Yu Family left, "Sorry to disturb you, Elder Chen."

Chen Yu wasn’t too disturbed by the matter and, after calming his mind, continued refining the Xuan Artifact.

Three days later.

A familiar face, unexpectedly for Chen Yu, arrived there.

A graceful, elegant, and serene peerless beauty stood before Chen Yu, with a perfect, exquisite jade face harboring a faint smile, said, "Elder Chen, Liu Xin’er will be your maid from now on."

Chen Yu showed a strange expression, involuntarily recalling when in Chu Country, Xue Feng had once proposed that if Chen Yu joined the Blood Moon Organization, Liu Xin’er would become his maid.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Xue Feng still remembered this matter, and Chen Yu had just returned to the Blood Moon Organization shortly when Liu Xin’er was sent over.

Looking at Liu Xin’er at that moment, Chen Yu felt a bit complicated inside.

Though he had given her his first time, the two of them originally didn’t have any feelings, and their stance was even adversarial.

Later, they were almost in two different worlds, with hardly any interaction.

So for this woman he had "skin-to-skin intimacy" with, Chen Yu felt somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.

"Is there anything Elder Chen needs to be managed? Just leave it to me."

Liu Xin’er, seeing Chen Yu staring blankly at her without speaking for a long time, pursed her lips. Though she felt a bit dissatisfied inside, she still spoke up proactively.

After all, Chen Yu at this moment was already a figure of the elder level in the Blood Moon Organization.

"Just casually tidy up the room."

Chen Yu replied quite casually.

After speaking, Liu Xin’er moved around, tidying up Chen Yu’s room.

In the ensuing time, Liu Xin’er frequently visited Chen Yu’s residence.

She fully complied with Chen Yu’s instructions, and Chen Yu noticed some slight "seduction" in Liu Xin’er’s attire and mannerisms.

As a woman, the first time is always unforgettable.

Especially since Chen Yu now was a Venerable of the Sky Sea Realm, an elder of the Blood Moon Organization.

From the bottom of her heart, Liu Xin’er hoped to follow Chen Yu, staying by his side.

"This little demon!"

Chen Yu couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Due to Liu Xin’er’s diligent and complete obedience, he felt inexplicably heated a few times.

Whenever this happened, another cold and absolutely beautiful figure appeared in his mind, gradually calming him.

A month passed.

No major events occurred, and Chen Yu’s refinement of the Xuan Artifact had finally succeeded in refining a tenth.

...

In the treacherous mountains, a patch of pale cyan mist drifted through, within it tens of thousands of troops quietly traversed.

Occasional fierce beasts roamed the area, yet seemed not to notice these people, passing by them.

"Is this the Shang Family’s town clan treasure ’Heavenly Mist Illusion Cloud Array’? It’s truly amazing."

"It’s my first time seeing the ’Heavenly Mist Illusion Cloud Array’ as well."

Among the troops, many whispered.

At the very front of these teams, sat an elder in a yellow robe, on a massive Green Cloud Array Plate, surrounded by tadpole characters flashing, and nine small flags floating above.

The Array Plate continuously emitted pale cyan mist, enveloping all directions, making everything within the mist somewhat illusory.

This elder in yellow robe was precisely the Shang Family’s Supreme Elder, Shang Tianhong.

Beside him were several figures, the high-level members of the Shang Family, including the Family Head.

"Supreme Elder, these Holy Land Envoys are truly treacherous, actually having our Shang Family deal with the Blood Moon Organization people."

"Our Shang Family has always maintained a neutral stand. They took the chance to make us attack the Blood Moon Organization, forcing us to stand on their side."

The high-level members communicated secretly.

Days ago, the Holy Land Envoys arrived at the Shang Family, claiming they needed to infiltrate the Blood Moon Organization’s base and required the use of the Shang Family’s Heavenly Mist Illusion Cloud Array.

This array is the town clan treasure of the Shang Family, only capable of being activated by the Shang Family Patriarch and the Supreme Elder.

Later, the Holy Land Envoys further, under the pretext of quelling rebellion, requested the Shang Family’s assistance.

Facing the mighty Holy Land Envoys, they couldn’t refuse, leading to the current situation.

"There’s no need to discuss this matter further."

The Shang Family’s Supreme Elder, a calm yet slightly cold voice, resonated in the minds of the high-level members.

Soon, his gaze skimmed over several figures in front of him, finally settling on a blue-robed male.

Among the three Holy Land Envoys, this male gave him an unfathomable, extremely dangerous feeling.

Previously, while conversing with him, facing the other’s demands, the Supreme Elder Shang Tianhong had a mistaken feeling of not daring to refuse.

In the front.

"Ha, this foolish super family, thinking they can stay out of matters by maintaining a neutral stand."

An elder with a hooked nose sneered in transmission.

"Still, the Great Elder thought it through, using the pretext of borrowing the array, further coercing the Shang Family into action and assisting, forcing them to fight and consume with the Blood Moon Organization, also compelling them to stand on the Holy Land’s side."

Another purple-haired woman, with elegant demeanor, a faint smile at her lips.

"Just the Shang Family, this Great Elder merely did so casually. Our true purpose this time is to probe Chen Yu!"

The blue-robed Great Elder, with an extraordinary demeanor, remained calm, his eyes as calm as deep water.

"Though it’s just probing, since the Great Elder personally took action, can this lad still escape?"

The hooked nose elder laughed sinisterly, ingratiatingly saying.
