How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 104: Chapter 0104: Uproot Completely

“Heh, obtaining a treasured artifact isn’t bad… This token?”

Chen Yu first weighed the black-stained longsword and then closely examined another bone token.

Swish swish!

At that moment, a man and a woman were seen leaping towards them from a distance.

“That’s the Bone Demon Token!”

A familiar female voice carried over.

Glancing sideways, he saw a stunning and enchanting young woman.

“Senior Sister Tong.”

Chen Yu wore an expression of surprise.

Tong Yuling, how did she suddenly arrive at his estate?

Beside her was a burly middle-aged man in the Organ Refining Stage. His aura was powerful, clearly one of the elders of the sect, and he seemed to have reached the Late Stage of Organ Refining.

“Have you forgotten, Junior Brother Chen?”

Tong Yuling smiled sweetly, “I had long applied for a mission, to investigate the Bone Demon Palace’s followers that have infiltrated the secular realm, within a nearby area.”

After approaching.

Chen Yu suddenly realized that Tong Yuling had broken through to the Mid-stage of Organ Refining.

Not only that, but Tong Yuling’s skin was snow-white and delicate, exuding a faint, warm blush, making her radiant and charming demeanor all the more enticing.

Originally.

Tong Yuling’s mission area was within the Beiyun Six Counties, including places like Yuyang City and Fengyang City.

Recently.

Their mission team was investigating a force of the Bone Demon Palace’s followers that had infiltrated the secular world and followed their trail to Xiangyang City.

However, this circle of followers was particularly secretive and difficult to track down.

Just today.

These followers carried out a collective action with a larger number than usual, which finally allowed Tong Yuling and her companions to pick up on their trail.

“I just didn’t expect that this place would be where Junior Brother Chen hid his beauty.”

Tong Yuling teased.

“Hide a beauty? If there were a few ladies like Senior Sister Tong, I wouldn’t mind either.”

Chen Yu laughed heartily, responding with equal jest.

“You…”

Tong Yuling glared at him, a faint blush appearing on her radiant face under the night sky.

“Did you kill this person?”

The burly middle-aged man accompanying Tong Yuling stared at the corpse of the man with the hooked nose, his expression stern.

Especially.

The hole in the man’s chest seemed to be pierced through by a fingertip, but upon closer inspection, it didn’t quite look like it.

But one thing was certain.

The man had no other wounds on his body, and there were no signs of a struggle nearby; it appeared he was killed without a chance to fight back.

“This seems quite ordinary; Junior Brother Chen has long had the strength to overpower an average person at the Organ Refining Stage.”

Tong Yuling was not surprised.

“This man should be an inconsequential underling of the Bone Demon Palace, ambushed and easily assassinated by me here.”

Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders.

“No, that’s not right! I have this man’s information. He’s one of the leading figures among the followers in the Beiyun Six Counties area, probably ranked within the top five.”

The burly middle-aged man suddenly produced a small booklet.

He flipped to a certain page, which had a portrait resembling the man with the hooked nose by about seventy percent.

“This person is cunning and cautious; previously, one of our sect’s Law Enforcers at the Late Stage of Organ Refining had a confrontation with him, but he managed to escape with ease.”

The burly middle-aged man looked meaningfully at Chen Yu.

“This is our leader, Senior Brother Pei!”

Tong Yuling introduced.

“So you’re that Chen Yu.”

Senior Brother Pei actually knew Chen Yu, his expression suddenly full of sorrow as he sighed softly, “A good brother of mine in the sect died in the battle at the Beishan Spirit Garden.”

Chen Yu expressed his sympathies; that battle had been too brutal.

Below the Qi Transformation Realm, only Chen Yu and Duan Xiaolong had fought their way out.

Senior Brother Pei quickly suppressed his emotions and examined the items left by the man with the hooked nose, focusing on one of the booklets.

The booklet recorded some confidential information in a unique and cryptic script.

“I’ll take the spoils of war, and as for this man’s head, I’ll leave it to the two of you.”

Chen Yu smiled faintly.

He handed over the Bone Demon Token of the man with the hooked nose to Tong Yuling and the other.

After a token refusal, they accepted it.

By doing so, Chen Yu had his reasons; after all, Senior Brother Pei and his team were specifically tasked with dealing with the Bone Demon Palace’s followers, a more dangerous mission.

With more people on their side, they could reasonably take care of the Chen Family within certain limits.

Just then.

Swoosh!

Fang Haofei arrived, carrying a man in a straw raincoat whose fate was unknown.

“Senior Brother Pei?”

“Fang? What are you doing here?”

Fang Haofei seemed to be quite familiar with Senior Brother Pei, making it easier to communicate.

“Couldn’t help it.”

Fang Haofei pursed his lips, “It was supposed to be a mission for the ‘Yan Family Castle,’ but since he’s the leader, he had to stay here for a few days.”

The leader?

Senior Brother Pei appeared shocked, and Tong Yuling was also somewhat surprised.

After all, Fang Haofei was a significant figure among the Inner Sect Disciples, just one step away from becoming a True Disciple.

“This guy’s not dead.”

Fang Haofei kicked the straw raincoat-clad man awake, who appeared pale, with all the tendons in his hands severed.

“Let Senior Brother Pei do the interrogation.”

Tong Yuling said with a smile.

An hour later.

Senior Brother Pei emerged from a firewood shed and muttered, “Based on the information in the booklet, coupled with this man’s confession, a new base has been established near Xiangyang City.”

Upon hearing this, both Chen Yu and Fang Haofei were taken aback.

Because near Xiangyang City was relatively close to the Yunyue Sect.

The following day.

Senior Brother Pei and others led the team, with Chen Yu and Fang Haofei assisting in the tactics, rooting out a Bone Demon Palace’s minion stronghold near Xiangyang City.

However.

All that remained in that stronghold were some minor thugs, with the strongest being only at the Early Stage of Refining Internal Organs.

According to the interrogation, the young man with the hooked nose was the leader of this stronghold.

After eradicating this malignant tumorous, Chen Yu was able to breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, he could leave with much less concern for the secular side of Xiangyang City.

In addition.

Senior Brother Pei also unearthed some information—the Wang Family of Xiangyang City seemed to be colluding with the Bone Demon Palace, although they had not yet completely defected.

This news, at such a sensitive time, naturally came as a heavy blow to the Wang Family.

As a result.

The Wang Family of Xiangyang City was eradicated from the secular world overnight.

The speed was so fast that even the Mu Family and Chen Family of Xiangyang City were caught off guard.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Yu gasped in shock.

Currently, the Three Sects’ confrontation with the Bone Demon Palace was already under immense pressure, steadily losing ground and morale was low.

Under such frustration, they would absolutely show no mercy to traitors from within!

After this battle.

The various families of the surrounding county cities all felt threatened and dared not deal lightly with the Bone Demon Palace.

The annihilation of the Wang Family served as a stark example.

In this battle, Senior Brother Pei, Tong Yuling, and others naturally earned a commendation, especially for annihilating the Bone Demon Palace stronghold.

Chen Yu and Fang Haofei were also incidentally credited and rewarded with five thousand and three thousand contribution points respectively.

In the suburban manor.

Chen Yu, Fang Haofei, and Mu Xueqing gathered together.

Mu Xueqing had finished dealing with her family’s affairs and was preparing to head to Yan Family Castle with Chen Yu the following day.

“Actually, the Bone Demon Palace’s minions also posed some hints and threats to our Mu Family. This time, I am grateful that Brother Yu returned to help eradicate the Bone Demon Palace stronghold.”

Mu Xueqing hesitated slightly before expressing her gratitude to Chen Yu.

Originally.

Mu Xueqing’s insistence on leading the team was to return to Xiangyang City to help her family deal with some related troubles.

On that very day.

Several guests visited Chen Yu’s manor.

“City Lord Chu, please come in…”

Family Head Chen Tianwei, along with Father Chen and Mother Chen, courteously received a pudgy middle-aged man.

“Chu Fengyun.”

Chen Yu recognized this crafty old fox from a distance in the wing room.

Chen Yu was, of course, aware of Chu Fengyun’s intention for the visit.

Two days prior, Chen Yu had expressed his strong desire to resolve the engagement to his family, which must have alarmed Chu Fengyun.

“Greetings, Uncle Chu.”

Chen Yu emerged from the wing room, maintaining the surface formalities.

Nominally.

This old fox was still his potential father-in-law.

“Indeed, I was not mistaken. Just a few short months of parting, and Nephew Chen has prospered in the sect and even gained a bit of fame in the sects of Chu Country.”

Chu Fengyun appraised Chen Yu, his voice tinged with emotion.

His own cultivation talent was quite mediocre, but he seldom erred in his judgment of people.

After exterminating the Honghu Three Killers, he had seen the extraordinary in Chen Yu.

If not for this.

He would not have, back then, demeaned himself to offer his daughter, Chu Wanyu, to a young man who didn’t even count as a Young Master of a minor family.

“Uncle Chu overstates it. My return this time is regarding that marriage arrangement…”

Chen Yu cut straight to the chase without any small talk.

Now, as a sect disciple and an elder’s favored student, he naturally need not pay too much attention to some of the worldly rules.

“Sigh.”

Chu Fengyun did not get angry. Instead, he sighed and said, “It is my daughter’s misfortune not to be worthy of such an outstanding individual as Nephew Chen.”

Chen Yu rolled his eyes in response.

He thought to himself, it was your daughter who took a fancy to Yi Yunfei, the Sect Master’s son and a True Disciple.

“City Lord Chu. Since your daughter and that Yi Yunfei have already set their hearts on each other, why not let them be? The son of the Water Moon Sect Master, a True Disciple, marrying into the Chu Family—what could be more joyous?”

Chen Yu genuinely did not understand.

Why would they refuse such an excellent son-in-law and instead insist on him when he was once but an Outer Disciple?

“Would you really think I’m so shortsighted to not accept a True Disciple as my son-in-law, preferring instead to marry my daughter to an Outer Disciple?”

Chu Fengyun gave a bitter smile.

Upon hearing this.

Chen Yu and others were taken aback. It seemed there was indeed some secret at play.

“First, as far as I have investigated, Yi Yunfei’s character involves toying with numerous women, and abandoning them after he gets his way. After he succeeds, he tends to discard them.”

Chu Fengyun wore a look of worry.

A character issue?

Chen Yu smirked to himself, considering it an excuse.

Between large clans, the marriage alliances, personal sacrifices were negligible, regardless of character.

“Of course, the more important point is the second one. As per the information I’ve gathered and my analysis, the Water Moon Sect had traces of being an Evil Sect many years ago. If it took advantage of Wanyu’s ‘Enchanting Musical Physique’—an ancient and special constitution—a concoction would help Yi Yunfei break through the bottlenecks of the Qi Transformation Realm more smoothly in the future.”

After finishing, Chu Fengyun’s face was full of bitterness and concern.

Used as a cauldron?

Chen Yu’s heart chilled—this was an evil cultivator’s method. If that happened, Yi Yunfei might rise to power, but Chu Wanyu would undoubtedly be ruined and become a mere waste vessel.

Chen Yu had no doubts about Chu Fengyun’s revelation.

Otherwise.

The Chu Family wouldn’t be so foolish as to discard an excellent True Disciple son-in-law and stubbornly insist on giving their daughter to Chen Yu, who was once just an Outer Disciple on the margins.

“Hmph.”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu suddenly let out a cold snort:

“So, you had a clever plan to marry off your daughter to me, trying to avoid this risk. But did you realize that if it were just any ordinary disciple, they’d have been killed by Yi Yunfei long ago?”

The first time he unexpectedly encountered Yi Yunfei, if not for the presence of several fellow sect members, the latter would have acted against Chen Yu.

The second time, during the meteoric iron gamble, Yi Yunfei and his mother, the Sect Master, targeted the malicious qi inside Chen Yu, attempting to drive him into demonic madness.

Had he been an ordinary disciple, he would have already been played to death countless times.
