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

Chapter 191: Chapter 0188: First Arrival in the Ancient Kingdom

“No!”

The man in black robes roared lowly like a wild beast pouncing towards the Transmission Array.

Disregarding his injuries, disregarding all consequences.

At his fastest speed, the man turned into a gold blur, streaking toward the Ancient Transmission Array.

In the field of view.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng stood upon the Array Formation Platform, their silhouettes gradually blurring but not yet teleported away!

“There’s still time!”

Joy surged in the man’s heart.

He must obtain the Heavenly Que Sword and the Moon Spirit Ore Mother; as for the nearby Moon Spirit Ore, compared to the first two, especially the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, they were insignificant.

At this moment.

Elder Chai’s goal was not to kill the two at the Transmission Array, as that would not be easy to achieve.

His intention was to teleport with them!

“Hmph, once I teleport to the other side and am not controlled by the force field, I can annihilate these two with a flick of my fingers.”

Elder Chai’s body shone with golden light, just about to charge into the Transmission Array.

No good!

Ye Luofeng could not help but pale.

The reason she chose the Transmission Array was to escape Elder Chai’s relentless pursuit.

If.

Elder Chai were to teleport with them, without the constraint of the Ancient Moon Well force field, their deaths were certain!

At the crucial moment of life and death.

Wuhou!

A deep roar like the sound of a bell or spring thunder erupted from the Transmission Array, transforming into a grey and twisted soundwave, striking Elder Chai.

Boom!

Elder Chai’s figure staggered, caught off guard by the soundwave’s encroachment.

Immediately.

His blood churned, his internal organs twisting in pain, his eardrums nearly bursting with blood.

Just in that moment of delay.

The two within the Transmission Array had vanished.

“No—”

Elder Chai roared in anger, his complexion ashen.

Wow!

Burning with rage and his blood surging, Elder Chai spat out a mouthful of blood.

Simultaneously.

On the ground, at the entrance to the Moon Mine.

“Huh! It seemed like there was a slight spatial fluctuation just now.”

The old man from the Lingjian Sect, who was overseeing the remnants of the Ancient Array, revealed a look of surprise.

“Spatial fluctuation? That’s not good!”

On a nearby mountaintop, the seated Lv Tiezu’s expression changed drastically.

Whoosh!

He quickly transformed into a bright orange streak of sword light and dashed into the Moon Mine.

Shortly after Lv Tiezu entered.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A dark mass of figures appeared in the nearby void.

“It’s the Bone Demon Palace, and also the people from the Water Moon Sect…”

Elder Pan, on guard at the mining site, changed color.

Looking around.

Near the Moon Mine, a force of nearly a thousand showed up, birds hovering in the sky.

They saw.

The Palace Master Fu from the Bone Demon Palace, Guardian Shangguan, even the Water Moon Sect Master and others, leading numerous troops approaching.

“Surround this area!”

Palace Master Fu commanded grimly, and a multitude of Bone Demon Palace’s forces ensured the site was encircled.

Elder Pan, along with the Lingjian Sect and others, had no chance to resist and were captured without a fight.

“Thankfully, we arrived in time.”

Palace Master Fu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his men to interrogate those from the Lingjian Sect present.

Before long.

A disciple from the Lingjian Sect, unable to endure the torment and threats, revealed what had happened before.

“It seems there are clues about the Heavenly Que Sword and the Moon Spirit Ore Mother here, and it might truly be credible. First, Chen Yu might have teleported away from here, now this place was sealed by Elder Chai from the Lingjian Sect with an Ancient Array to explore its secrets.”

Palace Master Fu’s eyes flickered.

However.

Upon learning that two Guiyuan Realm masters were inside the mine, Palace Master Fu was also somewhat cautious.

Crack!

Palace Master Fu broke a black talisman in his hand and muttered, “I have sent a message to Master Absolute Yin…”

Over the next two days.

A shocking battle erupted near the Ancient Moon Well.

The combatants were the camps of Bone Demon Palace and the Lingjian Sect (including Iron Sword and Yunyue Sects).

In this battle, both sides were truly enraged, and both suffered heavy losses.

Afterward.

News that a large amount of Moon Spirit Ore remained under the Ancient Moon Well, as well as the Heavenly Que Sword and Moon Spirit Ore Mother being taken away by Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng, spread like wildfire.

At the same time.

Within the Lingjian Sect’s camp, two rumors were widely circulated.

The first was that Ye Luofeng had embezzled the Heavenly Que Sword and, in collaboration with Chen Yu, grievously injured Elder Chai before fleeing far away.

This rumor was said to originate from Elder Chai’s own account.

The second was that Chen Yu was the murderer of Lv Santong, which was confirmed by the divination of the Great Snow Mountain Tribe.

These two rumors shook the sect world of Chu Country, and even the neighboring Qi Country, Yan Country, and the northern Great Snow Mountain Tribe paid attention.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng becoming traitors was not in itself remarkable.

However, these two were involved with the Moon Spirit Ore Mother and the Heavenly Que Sword, and even due to the existence of Moon Spirit Ore in the underground mine, they triggered a crazy battle between the two camps.

Not long after.

The two camps ceased fighting, deciding to mine the Moon Spirit Ore together.

As for the Ancient Transmission Array, both camps tried using Grade Essence Stones, yet despite the depletion of the stones, they could not initiate teleportation.

“It must be that the Transmission Array on the other side was destroyed, unable to resonate, hence the inability to teleport.”

An experienced Array Master concluded.

Naturally, such an outcome left both camps, including Elder Chai and others, with frustration.

Because of this.

Both camps stationed some troops year-round to guard this Transmission Array.

…

After a bout of severe turbulence and disorienting consciousness.

Chen Yu’s feet sank as he stepped upon an ancient, rusted transmission stone platform, shrouded in darkness all around.

Then, suddenly,

a “yelp” sounded next to him, as Ye Luofeng’s delicately charming figure swayed and bumped into Chen Yu.

Chen Yu himself had just steadied his stance. In his haste, he wrapped his arms around the stunningly beautiful girl.

Huh!

Ye Luofeng gradually recovered from her disoriented discomfort, only to find her skirt torn, her clothes disheveled, and herself held in someone’s embrace.

What infuriated and outraged her was,

the young man embracing her looked unreservedly—with an excellent poise—down at her jade-like face, the heaving of her chest, the graceful curves…

Moreover,

the hand of that young man, which was dragging her tender body, was actually placed on her round and plump buttocks, and he squeezed.

“Damn it!”

After squeezing subconsciously, Chen Yu felt an excellent touch, utterly intoxicating, but knew immediately that it was a bad situation.

Were he to explain that it wasn’t intentional, that it was merely an appreciation of beauty, a natural reaction, she certainly wouldn’t believe him.

As expected, Ye Luofeng’s face suddenly went cold, and a hint of iciness flashed in her phoenix eyes.

Slap!

A delicate, jade-like hand struck Chen Yu’s face.

“Aow!”

Chen Yu grunted but remained unmoved, releasing Ye Luofeng as if shocked by electricity.

Hiss!

After slapping Chen Yu, Ye Luofeng felt pain in her palm as if she’d struck a bronze statue.

She had just come to her senses from the discomfort of the remote transmission. The slap was instinctual, executed without circulating any True Qi.

“You… You scoundrel!”

Ye Luofeng clenched her teeth, her face growing even more frigid as True Qi surged within her.

“Miss Ye, please stop, it really wasn’t intentional.”

Chen Yu said with a bitter smile.

“Not intentional?”

Ye Luofeng’s chilly and moonlike delicate face darkened even more.

If the unintentional embrace could be seen as a fluke, the action of “squeezing” with his hand seemed all too intentional.

“Ah, even if I really did mean it, let’s say, I, Chen Yu, saved Miss Ye’s life before. Had it been another girl, perhaps she would’ve offered herself in gratitude.”

Chen Yu shook his head and sighed.

“Hmph, the toad wants to eat swan meat.”

A slight flush of annoyance and embarrassment tinged Ye Luofeng’s tense face.

“Alright, Miss Ye, let’s check the situation outside for now.”

Chen Yu immediately motioned with his hand.

While seeming to banter, Chen Yu had already sent the Iron Moon Strange Insects to scout the surroundings.

At this moment,

the two of them were in a dilapidated temple hall, dimly lit. The only sources of light were from the temple’s ceiling and the luminous pearls in the hallway.

The ancient transmission array beneath their feet had a structure similar to the one inside the Ancient Moon Well.

Suddenly, Ye Luofeng’s expression changed as she thought of something.

Slash!

She wielded the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword and struck the transmission array beneath her feet, creating a crack a meter long.

“Miss Ye, do you know where exactly we are?”

Chen Yu asked.

The Iron Moon Strange Insects he had sent out had conducted a brief search nearby and found this ruined temple hall deeply embedded within a concealed mountain.

“As Elder Chai revealed, the other side of the transmission array is the land of an ancient kingdom, a place with a splendid cultivation civilization.”

Ye Luofeng said with a cold face, distancing herself from Chen Yu.

An ancient kingdom?

A hint of excitement appeared on Chen Yu’s face.

He had read about ancient kingdoms in old texts.

It was rumored,

that the land of ancient kingdoms was vast and rich in resources, its cultivation civilization was several times more developed than remote, smaller countries like Chu Country.

“Indeed, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here is much denser than in Beiyuan.”

Ye Luofeng slightly sensed it and showed a hint of joy.

She was wholeheartedly dedicated to the Sword Dao and looked forward to the long-standing heritage of such an ancient land.

The two of them searched the dilapidated temple hall for a long time without finding any clues.

However, the Iron Moon Strange Insects found a few scattered pieces of Moon Spirit Ore in a corner of the great hall.

Chen Yu collected the pieces of Moon Spirit Ore, his face deep in thought.

It seemed,

the rumors of the Ancient Sword Sect defector might indeed be credible.

The vast amounts of Moon Spirit Ore mined from the Moon Cave were transported to this ancient land through the transmission array.

According to legend,

the descendants of that Sword Sect defector had flourished on this land and still existed to this day.

Following the dilapidated temple hall’s corridor, the two moved carefully and cautiously outward.

The Iron Moon Strange Insect scouted ahead, with no incidents occurring along the way.

“By the way, Miss Ye. What exactly is this ‘Moon Spirit Ore Mother’ you mentioned before?”

Chen Yu broke the stagnant silence.

“Moon Spirit Ore Mother? I must admit, you’re incredibly fortunate. Not only did you soar to the heavens in the Blood Burial Garden, but you also came across this legendary Holy Ore.”

Ye Luofeng said with a hint of emotion.

“You were lucky to obtain the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword as well,”

Chen Yu rolled his eyes.

“While you may not know what Moon Spirit Ore Mother is, you must have heard of the rumors about the Moon Spirit Holy Stone, right?”

Ye Luofeng said.

“I have! Legend says it’s a Holy Stone that can reverse the quality of one’s Spiritual Body.”

Chen Yu nodded eagerly.

“That Moon Spirit Ore Mother is the original embryo of the ‘Moon Spirit Holy Stone’!”

Ye Luofeng said with a light smile.

At her words, Chen Yu was greatly shaken.

He could never have imagined that the Moon Spirit Crystals were the embryonic form of the Moon Spirit Holy Stone.

“You’ve experienced it before. The ‘Moon Spirit Ore Mother’ can purify the soul, heal mental wounds, and additionally, it refines the spirit and Sword Intent, providing great benefits to cultivators.”

Ye Luofeng revealed a hint of envy.

Chen Yu nodded; just the ability to heal mental damage and aid in condensing spiritual power made it an unparalleled treasure.

“However, that’s not the greatest value of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother!”

Ye Luofeng’s voice paused.

“It’s not?”

Chen Yu exclaimed.

“The strategic value of the Moon Spirit Ore Mother even surpasses that of the Heavenly Que Sword.”

“In the presence of the Ore Mother, even a mundane mountain range can, over time, accumulate Moon Spirit essence and give birth to new Moon Spirit Ore, even forming a new Moon Spirit Ore Vein! This is an ability that will be lost once it becomes a ‘Moon Spirit Holy Stone’!”
