Eternal Heart
Chapter 671: Valley Master Takes a Disciple

"Brother Chen, have you decided yet? Which valley will you choose?”

Seeing that Chen Yu did not immediately respond, Shi Wwei added, “Brother Chen, you actually don’t need to rush your decision. With your assessment results, definitely many elders will be scrambling to take you in as a disciple. You can just go to whichever valley your master is in.”

This was the case with the Hua Dufeng and that Hua Wuliang up ahead.

"However, what’s strange is, why has no elder stepped forward to take Chen Yu as a disciple?”

Shi Wwei suddenly noticed this point, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Chen Yu’s score in the second assessment was over seven hundred Slaughter Points higher than the second place, Hua Dufeng, and his score in the first assessment was also outstanding.

In this new disciples’ assessment, Chen Yu’s results were undoubtedly the best.

Yet, for Hua Dufeng who was in second place, and other unparalleled geniuses, elders had come forward to accept them as disciples.

Yet Chen Yu was left unattended.

"Dong Guo Wen, this venerable one wishes to take you as a disciple. Do you have any objections?”

A cold and imposing elder asked strongly.

"This disciple dares not, greetings, Master.”

A female disciple with decent talent immediately knelt down.

When encountering such a powerful figure, there was no choice but to enter their tutelage.

After a while, three elders appeared to take disciples.

There stood Chen Yu, the center of attention as the top scorer in the assessments, still unclaimed.

To this, Chen Yu himself was greatly taken aback.

His assessment results should not have warranted such treatment.

He glanced at the green-haired old man he had encountered in the Stone Cloud Realm. The elder was busy at the registration desk in Demon Valley.

Chen Yu had originally planned to take tutelage under this green-haired elder and also enter Demon Valley.

It was said among the five valleys of Black Demon Valley, Demon Valley was the most powerful.

"Hehe, there truly is something fishy here.”

"Chen Yu’s results must be falsified. Although I don’t know why they were deemed valid, no elder wishes to take him as a disciple.”

"Hehe, if this year’s top assessment scorer isn’t taken as a disciple by an elder, that would truly be a joke.”

Around the crowd, the buzz of discussions rose continuously, most coming from those jealous of Chen Yu. Now seeing Chen Yu’s predicament made them quite pleased.

However, some geniuses from major family powers, knowing some inside information, remained silent, their hearts tumultuous.

"No elder taking him as a disciple, could it really be that the Valley Master has eyes on him?”

Among the crowd, You Lie clenched his teeth, blood seeping from his lips, yet he was unaware of it.

In the hall ahead, many elders, their gazes seemingly drifting over Chen Yu, repeatedly sighed.

"This youth is a Body Refinement genius; he should become my disciple.”

A middle-aged man, nearly four meters tall and clad in a beast-skin coat, grunted angrily.

However, the hall was isolated by an Array; no matter how loud his voice, those outside couldn’t hear it.

"If that’s the case, why doesn’t Iron Plow Venerable make a move?”

The charming Black Sha woman, revealing a sinisterly captivating smile.

"Haha

Several elders present couldn’t help but laugh.

By the rules, Chen Yu would enter under the Valley Master’s wing unless the day passed without the Valley Master speaking out, indicating that the Valley Master had abandoned Chen Yu.

At that time, other elders could step forward to take disciples.

Otherwise, if they took Chen Yu first and the Valley Master suddenly decided to take him as a disciple, the elders would have to give him up, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

Just then, a figure in red fluttered from afar and landed outside the grand hall.

The woman was as pale as snow yet dressed in a strikingly red dress, her features as if meticulously drawn by an artist, beautiful as a flower.

"Sister Zhixiang.”

"Several months apart, Sister Zhixiang has become even more beautiful.”

In the square, several old disciples of Black Demon Valley, almost all turned to look.

This woman, named Tu Zhixiang, was a True Disciple of Black Demon Valley, and also one of the top five beauties of Black Demon Valley, the object of many male disciples’ affection.

However, being a prestigious True Disciple, why was she at the new disciples’ reporting area?

Tu Zhixiang’s blood-red eyes, carrying a seductive and soul-stealing smile, swept around before finally landing on Chen Yu.

"Junior Brother Chen, you’ve finally arrived!”

Tu Zhixiang then smiled even more beautifully.

Chen Yu’s heart startled, this stunning beauty was actually here for him.

But he didn’t recognize her at all!

Suddenly, Chen Yu caught a faint fragrance, and right after, he found Tu Zhixiang, without any notice, at his side, her pale and delicate face observing him at close range.

Such speed!

Chen Yu’s pupils shrank slightly, feeling a bit of reverence towards the woman.

The next moment, Tu Zhixiang extended her hand, patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, then smilingly said, “Let’s go, little junior brother, don’t keep the Master waiting.”

Nearby, many eyes fixed on Tu Zhixiang and Chen Yu.

Several older disciples were even more sorrowful, “Who is this person? So intimate with Zhixiang, is he perhaps Zhixiang’s man?”

"Chen Yu is so lucky? Just arrived at Black Demon Valley and already an amorous encounter?”

"Idiot, didn’t you hear what Zhixiang said? She called him little junior brother.”

A mature-looking male disciple exclaimed.

"Little junior brother? Isn’t Zhixiang’s master the Silent Blood Valley Master from Blood Demon Valley? Could it be that Silent Blood Valley Master wants to take a disciple

Another person exclaimed, covering their mouth.

At this, everyone finally understood—it was Tu Zhixiang’s master who wanted to take Chen Yu as a disciple.

The newly admitted disciples were curious: why, with so many elders present, had no one taken Chen Yu as their pupil? Who was the master of this beautiful woman?

"May I ask who is your master, senior sister?”

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before asking.

"What? Are you unwilling to be under my master?”

Tu Zhixiang asked teasingly.

"It’s not that, it’s just that this elder had already agreed to take me as a pupil upon my arrival at Black Demon Valley.”

Chen Yu spoke up first, his gaze turning towards the elder with green hair.

At the beginning, the green-haired elder had personally spoken, promising to take Chen Yu as his pupil. If Chen Yu casually became a pupil of another elder, that elder might not be pleased.

Moreover, Chen Yu was more inclined towards Demon Valley.

On the other hand, after hearing Chen Yu’s words, the green-haired elder quivered slightly, and his face twitched.

"Oh? Elder You Jieshan here has a good eye, selecting the same disciple as my master!”

Tu Zhixiang looked at the green-haired elder with an even more enchanting smile.

"Hehe, with Chen Yu scoring first in this assessment and having extraordinary talent, this old man’s experience is limited and I’m unable to instruct him properly. It’s better for the ‘Silent Blood Valley Master’ to personally guide him.”

The green-haired elder, “You Jieshan,” wore a smile, but inside, he was laughing bitterly, quite depressed, and quietly cursing Chen Yu several times.

He of course wanted to take Chen Yu as a disciple, but how could he dare to snatch a disciple from the valley master? That would be suicidal!

"Silent Blood Valley Master?”

Chen Yu was momentarily stunned.

The person who wanted to take him as a pupil was one of the valley masters of Black Demon Valley!

Moreover, he learned from Tu Zhixiang’s remark that the green-haired elder’s surname was You…

In an instant, Chen Yu felt that this matter of Elder You Jieshan wanting to take him as a disciple was perhaps not as he had imagined it to be.

"That’s good.”

Tu Zhixiang restrained her smile, appearing more serious, then immediately said to Chen Yu, “Let’s go, do not keep the master waiting long, he has a bad temper.”

"Yes.”

Chen Yu took a deep breath, glanced deeply at You Jieshan, then left the area with Tu Zhixiang.

"Silent Blood Valley Master, one of the five valley masters of Black Demon Valley, and Brother Chen has been taken as a disciple by the valley master!”

Shi Wwei and Yang Fenghou, among others, watched Chen Yu leave, their shock lingering for a long time.

Ordinary people, just being able to enter Black Demon Valley, would be completely satisfied, yet those that could leap into the inner sect were very rare.

For example, aside from Yang Fenghou, the rest of the Yang family could only serve as menial workers in Black Demon Valley.

Yet Chen Yu, not only had leaped into the inner sect, but he had also become the disciple of a valley master, his status already at the level of a True Disciple!

"So, it really was the valley master taking a disciple.”

You Lie’s arms trembled slightly, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

"Chen Yu, the one who was supposed to be taken as a disciple by the Silent Blood Valley Master, was clearly me! The things you’ve taken from this prince, I will surely take back someday!”

Within Hua Dufeng’s cool, arrogant gaze, a hint of cold determination flashed.

…

Chen Yu followed Tu Zhixiang, flying across a vast area.

This was all the outer valley region, with very vast territories; many eyes shifted towards Tu Zhixiang first, then fell on Chen Yu.

Soon, the pair arrived at a valley entrance, separated by an Array Barrier, making it inaccessible to ordinary people.

Beside the valley, there was a black stele with three domineering words filled with demon intent – “Blood Demon Valley.”

Assuming the five main valleys represent the five toes of a foot, the position of Blood Demon Valley was like that of the ring finger.

Just entering the Inner Valley Region, Chen Yu immediately felt a thick Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi hitting his face, and deep within the Blood Demon Valley, a powerful demonic intent spread out, intimidating all creatures.

"Just cultivating in the Inner Valley Region is one to two times better than in the outer valleys.”

Chen Yu compared in his mind.

"Did I hear that my junior brother accumulated almost nineteen hundred Slaughter Points in this second examination, which is seven to eight hundred more than the second-ranking?”

Tu Zhixiang asked with a playful smile, displaying an impression of a young girl admiring the strong.

"Hehe, just good luck.”

Chen Yu steadied his mind, not fooled by Tu Zhixiang’s performance.

"My senior sister rather hopes that it is not just luck, as having no real strength but being a pupil under the Silent Blood Valley Master isn’t necessarily a good thing.”

Tu Zhixiang said with a laugh.

This was the second time Chen Yu had heard about the Silent Blood Valley Master from Tu Zhixiang’s lips.

He had a feeling that the Silent Blood Valley Master was not easy to deal with.

Under Tu Zhixiang’s lead, Chen Yu arrived at a secluded forest between the mountains, where only two types of plants existed: a black fruit tree and a red flower.

The black fruit trees bore dark, round fruits emitting a fog of demonic intent, while the red flowers were enveloped in a thin, blood-red mist, emitting a fragrant, sweet, blood-like scent.

"Demons Intent Fruit, a fruit that grows in places with dense Demonic Qi. Some powerful Demon Cultivators may lead to these fruits emerging in areas where they have secluded themselves.”

"And these red flowers, called Blood Qi Flowers, naturally grow in places with rich vital blood

Chen Yu observed the surrounding fruit trees.

The residence of the Silent Blood Valley Master, with three hundred Demon Intent Fruit trees and over five hundred Blood Qi Flowers.

These precious materials were essential for Blood Cultivation and Demon Cultivation. He wondered if these were planted by the Silent Blood Valley Master, or if they naturally grew because of him.

Passing through the woods, Chen Yu glimpsed a cliff with a blood-red waterfall hanging over it.

Next to the waterfall, inside a simple palace, sat a white-haired elder dressed in a black robe. His deep red eyes instantly swept towards Chen Yu and Tu Zhixiang as they arrived.

So strong!

Under the elder’s gaze, Chen Yu felt enormous pressure, as if he was rendered immobile and even breathing became extremely difficult.

"Are you the new disciple of this seat?”

The aged, authoritative voice of the Silent Blood Valley Master sounded.

Chen Yu was inwardly laughing bitterly; wasn’t it the other way around, that the elder had wanted to take him as a disciple? It felt as if Chen Yu was the one imploring him to be his master.
