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

Chapter 502: Chapter 0497: Joining the Organization

Chen Yu had never expected that when he and Tong Yuling met again, it would be under such circumstances.

In the past, within the Yunyue Sect, Tong Yuling was Chen Yu’s senior sister, and their relationship was extremely good; they completed many sect missions together.

Everything changed because of the trip to the Blood Burial Garden, where their relationship shattered, and they walked on different paths.

Now, even though they met again, their relationship could no longer be as before.

Moreover, it seemed that Ren Bing was acquainted with the Blood Lotus Saintess, which made matters even more complicated.

“Elder Ren, didn’t I say that Chen Yu must not be killed?”

The gaze of the Blood Lotus Saintess moved to Ren Bing, her expression even colder, and a bloody aura assailed him.

Ren Bing shuddered. Indeed, the Blood Lotus Saintess had said such a thing, but he didn’t take it to heart. He didn’t believe that the Blood Lotus Saintess would do anything to him over an outsider.

But now, it seemed that the Blood Lotus Saintess was truly furious. Why was that?

Simply because of a talented individual?

“Holy Daughter, this person killed my son. I was so driven by vengeance that…”

Ren Bing clenched his teeth; his imposing manner completely weakened.

Between him and Chen Yu, there was a deep-seated hatred, yet now he had to explain himself to someone else. This showed just how wary he was of the Blood Lotus Saintess.

Previously, Chen Yu had been worried that the Blood Lotus Saintess and Ren Bing were in cahoots. If Tong Yuling was no longer the one from the past, then Chen Yu was sure to die this time.

However, it seemed that Tong Yuling still regarded their past relationship. She didn’t strike to kill Chen Yu and even came to stop Ren Bing’s action.

“Senior Sister Tong…”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but speak, yet he didn’t know what to say.

He was extremely grateful to Tong Yuling for coming to his rescue.

On the other hand, upon hearing this, Ren Bing’s heart suddenly skipped. It seemed that Chen Yu recognized the Blood Lotus Saintess?

And Chen Yu addressed her as his senior sister? This was no ordinary relationship!

Ren Bing privately rejoiced; if he had indeed killed Chen Yu, what would the Blood Lotus Saintess, as his senior sister, do to him?

“Damn it, how could Chen Yu have a connection with the Blood Lotus Saintess?”

Ren Bing felt immense annoyance in his heart.

This meant he had no chance for revenge.

He hated that his strength was insufficient. The murderer of his son stood before him, yet he could not strike.

But the next words from Tong Yuling confused both Chen Yu and Ren Bing.

“Chen Yu, I’ll give you a chance to choose. Join the Blood Moon Organization, and I will spare you from death!”

The Blood Lotus Saintess looked at Chen Yu again. Her gaze, while not as detached as before, made Chen Yu feel very alienated, as if they were strangers who had met for the first time.

Moreover, the Blood Lotus Saintess made it very clear with her words. If Chen Yu didn’t join the Blood Moon Organization, what lay ahead was a dead end.

This shattered the notion Chen Yu had earlier; Tong Yuling was not just there to save Chen Yu. She could also become his enemy.

On the other side, Ren Bing was somewhat confused. Weren’t these two supposed to be junior brother and senior sister? Why was the Blood Lotus Saintess so cold towards Chen Yu?

“Senior Sister Tong, so many years have passed, and upon our first meeting, you make such unreasonable demands?”

Chen Yu lamented.

However, he overlooked the reaction of the Blood Lotus Saintess upon hearing these words.

A flicker of unusual emotion passed through the eyes of the Blood Lotus Saintess, as if she had thought of something, but then her gaze became even colder, filled with anger and resentment.

Those emotions quickly vanished.

“Kekeke, am I making unreasonable demands?”

A reckless and alien smile appeared on the beautiful face of the Blood Lotus Saintess.

Seeing Tong Yuling in this state, Chen Yu felt a sting in his heart.

The Tong Yuling of before was not like this, graceful, pure, lively…

Because of his last rejection of her confession, Tong Yuling’s personality had drastically changed. Influenced by the other half of her personality within her, she had become the reckless, sinister, and indifferent Blood Lotus Saintess as she was now.

“I’m not forcing you. Whatever choice you make, it will be the path you chose for yourself.”

The Blood Lotus Saintess smiled faintly.

“This senior sister and junior brother relationship seems quite incompatible. If Chen Yu refuses to join, I might still have the chance to avenge my son’s death.”

Ren Bing felt secretly delighted within.

Chen Yu struggled internally.

Back when he was in Qi Country, the Blood Moon Organization agent who had ambushed him had mentioned that the Blood Lotus Saintess had joined the Blood Moon Organization, so Chen Yu was not surprised by Tong Yuling’s proposal.

Initially, Chen Yu was also somewhat tempted by Xue Feng’s offer.

He planned to investigate the organization before making a decision.

But last time, when he met Yi Lantian, with Yuan Chen and his junior sister present, Chen Yu found it inconvenient, so he deferred the matter, planning to inquire later.

Unexpectedly, now was the moment he had to make a decision.

“If I refuse Senior Sister Tong again, she might be completely overtaken by the Blood Lotus Saintess. If I join the Blood Moon Organization, perhaps she could return to her original self, back to becoming the Tong Yuling from before.”

Chen Yu pondered.

He previously had rejected her, causing Tong Yuling to change this much. He really couldn’t bear to refuse her again.

Additionally, the remnant powers of his sect seemed to dread the Blood Moon Organization greatly.

Just like the Elder Ren before him, he didn’t dare to act against Chen Yu because of the Blood Lotus Saintess.

If Chen Yu joined the Blood Moon Organization, would he then be safe? No longer targeted for assassination by the sect forces?

In that case, there was another benefit.

“I’ll join.”

Chen Yu responded.

Ren Bing showed a hint of disappointment, but this was within expectations. Refusing to join meant a certain death, so anyone would choose to join the Blood Moon Organization.

Blood Lotus Saintess stared at Chen Yu, her gaze slightly confused for a moment.

“His choice to join the Blood Moon Organization, is it to return to my side?”

Blood Lotus Saintess suddenly pondered this thought but then immediately dismissed it, “No, he’s merely seeking a way to survive.”

Observing Blood Lotus Saintess lost in thought and her expression changing back and forth without speaking, both Ren Bing and Chen Yu found it strange.

“Elder Ren, from now on, he is a member of the Blood Moon Organization.”

Blood Lotus Saintess regained her composure, realizing she had just lost focus, and exuded an even more formidable presence.

“Yes.”

Ren Bing nodded, understanding that Blood Lotus Saintess was telling him that from now on, he shouldn’t lay a hand on Chen Yu.

“Senior Sister Tong, now that I’ve joined the Blood Moon Organization, can you tell me about it?”

Chen Yu asked, his curiosity about this mysterious Blood Moon Organization having grown.

“You cannot!”

Blood Lotus Saintess said coldly.

“Why is that?”

Chen Yu was both puzzled and frustrated.

He had joined the Blood Moon Organization, yet Tong Yuling refused to share even that with him.

He suddenly felt that he should have accepted Xue Feng’s invitation; not only would he have received better treatment, but upon returning to Yun Zhao Country, he would also have avoided assassination by the sect forces.

“Can I still contact Xue Feng, to let him fulfill the benefits he promised me initially?”

Chen Yu thought to himself.

Since Tong Yuling wouldn’t tell her, he couldn’t expect her to treat him any better.

“Some of the peripheral members of the Blood Moon Organization also are not privy to the core secrets of the organization. You’ve just joined and you already wish to know everything?”

Blood Lotus Saintess said blandly.

In truth, she was deliberately making things difficult for Chen Yu.

She still wanted to know if Chen Yu joined the Blood Moon Organization for her sake, or for some other reason.

But she would never directly inquire about this…

The listening Elder Ren was increasingly confused, sensing an intricate connection between the two—seemingly intimate yet possibly fraught with animosity.

Just then, four silhouettes flew from a distance, the Guiyuan Realm cultivators who had been with Ren Bing earlier.

“Elder Ren.”

The group called out, casting a glance at Blood Lotus Saintess, not recognizing her.

After all, Donglin Prefecture was on the fringe of Yun Zhao Country, with limited contact with the Black Prison Alliance, let alone knowing the Blood Lotus Saintess of the Blood Moon Organization.

“Congratulations, Elder Ren, on capturing Chen Yu. How do you plan to torture the boy to vent your hatred? Black Hawk Castle has a set of torture methods that will make him beg for death but be unable to die…”

The Black Robed Elder spoke obsequiously.

In his view, Ren Bing held a grudge for the murder of his son and not killing Chen Yu on the spot must mean he planned to torture Chen Yu to his heart’s content, so he was flattering him along those lines.

Upon hearing this, Ren Bing’s eye twitched.

At this moment, Chen Yu was no longer a prisoner.

Moreover, Blood Lotus Saintess and Chen Yu’s relationship was ambiguous, and even Ren Bing dared not say such things before Blood Lotus Saintess.

Ren Bing inwardly lamented that the man had failed to read the room.

“Hm?”

After finishing, the Black Robed Elder expected Ren Bing to be pleased, but he sensed something amiss.

Ren Bing remained silent and even looked a bit curious, while the authoritative and icy demeanor of Blood Lotus Saintess weighed heavily on him, making his heart tremble.

“Elder Ren, may I ask who this senior is?”

The Black Robed Elder bowed to Blood Lotus Saintess and then inquired.

“This is the Holy Daughter of the Blood Moon Organization, Blood Lotus Saintess. Furthermore, Chen Yu has now joined the Blood Moon Organization.”

Ren Bing explained everything, to prevent the Black Robed Elder from saying anything else that might offend Blood Lotus Saintess.

“What… I had no idea your Excellency was the Blood Lotus Saintess. I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai and hope you will forgive my ignorance.”

The Black Robed Elder was greatly surprised and smoothered her with goodwill without missing a beat.

He had heard of the name Blood Lotus Saintess a hundred years prior.

He also knew the relationship between the Blood Moon Organization and the Black Prison Alliance, as well as Ren Bing’s determination to kill Chen Yu.

Now that Chen Yu stood unharmed, he was undoubtedly under the protection of Blood Lotus Saintess.

Since Ren Bing dared not touch Chen Yu, thinking back on his own words just then, he realized his foolishness.

“How are things on your end?”

Ren Bing changed the subject.

“The twins in that ruin increased their strength, and with the middle-grade Spiritual Artifact in their hands, they were formidable. We did our utmost but only managed to kill one, the other escaped.”

The Black Robed Elder sighed, looking ashamed.

Ren Bing’s expression darkened further. Not only had they failed to kill Chen Yu, but they had also let one of the sisters slip away.

“What did you find?”

Ren Bing asked again.

“The other items in that woman’s storage bag seemed quite ordinary, only that middle-grade Spiritual Artifact might be a private collection of Evil Yin Ancestor.”

The Black Robed Elder reported truthfully, himself finding it peculiar. Could it be that what the sisters had said was true, and other treasures had gone to the man with the bamboo hat, Wan Baoguang, and Chen Yu?

But now that Chen Yu had joined the Blood Moon Organization, even if he had gotten some benefit inside, the Black Robed Elder couldn’t demand it.
