Chapter 503: Chapter 0498: Organization, Mission

Next, the Blood Lotus Saintess bid farewell to the others, she was not at all interested in their conversation.

“Let’s go,” the Blood Lotus Saintess said to Chen Yu.

She flew ahead at a moderate pace, seemingly taking care of Chen Yu.

“Senior Sister Tong, where are we heading?” Chen Yu asked.

Right now, he was no longer in any danger, but Chen Yu realized that the Blood Lotus Saintess and Ren Bing must know each other well, and there was likely some connection between the Blood Moon Organization and the Black Prison Alliance.

However, since he had already agreed to join the Blood Moon Organization, it was pointless to overthink matters; he would find out everything in due time.

“From now on, don’t call me Senior Sister Tong.”

The Blood Lotus Saintess’s expression was cold and final.

She had already made her decision to carry on the other half’s will and live on as the “Blood Lotus Saintess.” Everything about Tong Yuling in the past had nothing to do with her now.

She thought she could manage it, but Chen Yu’s appearance had still disturbed her emotions, causing significant mood swings recently.

Since it was troubling her, it was better to confront it directly and resolve the inner conflict.

Chen Yu kept silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

After a while, the Blood Lotus Saintess calmed her emotions and said, “Now that you’ve agreed to join, you still need to go back and acquire the identity of a member.”

Chen Yu nodded.

Throughout the journey, neither spoke, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

“Senior Sister Tong, why did you join the Blood Moon Organization? It can’t be for cultivation resources,” Chen Yu inquired.

At this moment, the Blood Lotus Saintess had regained control of the Blood Burial Garden and clearly lacked nothing in that regard.

“Go home,” the Blood Lotus Saintess said after pondering for a moment.

“Go home?” Chen Yu mulled over it.

Clearly, the home mentioned here was not Tong Yuling’s home, but the “home” of the Blood Lotus Saintess.

However, as far as Chen Yu knew, the Blood Lotus Saintess was originally not from the Blood Moon Organization, so what then did this ‘going home’ mean?

The Blood Lotus Saintess only said those two words and obviously did not want to discuss anymore. Seeing this, Chen Yu didn’t ask further.

Soon, the two arrived at the critical transmission site of Donglin Prefecture.

The Blood Lotus Saintess chose the Ancient Transmission Array leading to the southern “Lanling Prefecture.”

Chen Yu flew with the Blood Lotus Saintess until they reached an uninhabited mountain range, where she took out a Blood Moon Token and made it float in mid-air.

She executed a spell, releasing strong power into the token, causing it to emit subtle spatial fluctuations.

At a certain moment, the Blood Lotus Saintess tore at the air with her claws around the token, opening a small portal in the void.

“Enter,” the Blood Lotus Saintess uttered and then flew in; Chen Yu followed closely behind.

Immediately upon entering, it darkened as Chen Yu stepped into a dark red space.

Above, a bright red blood moon hung in the sky, and the landscape of strange-styled pavilions and buildings, all coated in a layer of blood.

Chen Yu realized that this was likely the core area of the Blood Moon Organization.

After flying a distance, a grand and majestic blood-colored palace appeared in front, emitting a natural grandeur that instilled a sense of awe.

He followed the Blood Lotus Saintess into a wide and tranquil hall.

Upon their arrival, there were already four members inside.

“Blood Lotus Saintess, whom have you recruited?”

“With Blood Lotus Saintess’s discernment, the person you fancy must certainly be a dragon among men.”

The three seated people all stood up and smiled to different extents before they examined Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was slightly alarmed internally, as these individuals gave him a very strong feeling; their cultivation was around the Late Guiyuan Realm and they were all very respectful towards the Blood Lotus Saintess.

Adding Ren Bing’s earlier attitude, Chen Yu thought that the Blood Lotus Saintess in her lifetime must have been an exceptionally powerful cultivator in the Kunyun Realm.

“Isn’t this Chen Yu?” one of the tall men recognized him, and the others also scrutinized him closely.

With Chen Yu’s reputation, it was normal to be recognized.

And it seemed the Blood Moon Organization also valued him highly, especially considering he defeated four major Late Guiyuan Realm cultivators and claimed first place in the previous grand competition.

“Outsiders say that Chen Yu, who secured first place in the last grand competition by defeating four Late Guiyuan Realm cultivators, is a Body Dao Practitioner and cultivates one of the ancient top ten mystical skills, and also has low Spiritual Body aptitude, which will surely cause him to lag behind those four individuals over time.”

“Now it appears those people were short-sighted and blind.”

The tall man praised Chen Yu, his expression gentle and his voice soft, making him come across as very approachable.

Just then, a dark-skinned middle-aged man walked into the hall, enveloped in a dark vortex, as a tremendous chilling force surged forward.

“Blood Lotus Saintess, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of recruiting a new member and summon us?” the dark-skinned middle-aged man’s voice was cold.

“This person is strong…” Chen Yu cautiously noted internally.

This dark-skinned middle-aged man gave him a very dangerous feeling, especially the man’s deep and somber eyes, which inspired fear and made it difficult to meet his gaze.

“I am showing respect to everyone here, allowing everyone to decide together!” the Blood Lotus Saintess said with a seductive smile.

Shortly after, eight strong individuals dressed in Blood Moon Robes gathered in the hall, each emitting a powerful aura, which made Chen Yu wonder just how formidable the Blood Moon Organization was and what their intentions were.

Additionally, Chen Yu did not see Xue Feng.

However, the dark-skinned middle-aged man then threw out a stone plate engraved with the Blood Moon pattern.

The plate, full of intricate patterns, suddenly started spinning, emitting a strange red light and casting a blood mist.

Within the blood mist, various figures appeared, around ten or so, their strengths indiscernible. This time, Chen Yu did see Xue Feng among them.

“Is this some sort of projection technique?” Chen Yu couldn’t help but marvel.

In the projection, Xue Feng also seemed slightly surprised to see Chen Yu and nodded in acknowledgment.

When Chen Yu had suddenly disappeared and couldn’t be found, he regretted not having taken action earlier to kill Chen Yu.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu had gone to Yun Zhao Country and had ultimately decided to join the Blood Moon Organization.

At the same time, Xue Feng thought of this meeting being convened by the Blood Lotus Saintess concerning the matters of the Blood Burial Garden, and he knew the details most clearly.

The body that the remnant soul of the Blood Lotus Saintess seized was from the Yunyue Sect disciples, Chen Yu’s senior sister.

The primary reason Chen Yu joined was likely because of Tong Yuling.

“Everyone is almost here, speak whatever matter you have.”

The dark-skinned middle-aged man spoke indifferently.

“This assembly is to bring one person into the organization, his name is Chen Yu, the top of the previous grand assembly in Yun Zhao Country.”

The Blood Lotus Saintess narrated.

“We all know that.”

“Just for welcoming Chen Yu into the organization, there’s no problem with that. Holy Daughter, if there is any issue, please speak plainly.”

In the hall and through the projections, several voices arose.

Chen Yu was quite well-known, and the vast majority present knew of him and agreed to his joining the Blood Moon Organization.

But since the Blood Lotus Saintess gathered everyone, there certainly was another important issue.

“Just this one matter.”

The Blood Lotus Saintess maintained a neutral expression.

Inside the hall, a silence ensued.

“Blood Lotus Saintess, just to recruit one individual, you go through such great lengths. Do you think our time here is so idle?”

The dark-skinned middle-aged spoke coldly.

“I want him to take up the position of ‘Hall Master’,” the Blood Lotus Saintess said after leaving them hanging initially.

“Ridiculous.”

The dark-skinned middle-aged was even more displeased.

“That doesn’t seem appropriate.”

“For so many years, the number of people within the organization who could directly be promoted to ‘Hall Master’ are very few.”

Others spoke cautiously, but they also disagreed, and there were a few who remained silent.

Despite the remarkable background and strong deterrence of the Blood Lotus Saintess, she couldn’t possibly stand against so many formidable members of the Blood Moon Organization.

“Holy Daughter’s proposal could be considered,” Xue Feng spoke a word in favor of Chen Yu.

“The Blood Lotus Saintess wholeheartedly recommends him, there must be a reason. Perhaps, everyone should assess him; if he passes, then let him take the position of Hall Master!”

The tall man, seemingly admiring the Blood Lotus Saintess, spoke up.

“At this time, we don’t have the leisure to prepare a Hall Master assessment for him.”

The dark-skinned middle-aged’s expression was stern and serious. He spoke up abruptly, “However, we have a major action planned soon, it could very well be used as the assessment. If Chen Yu successfully and flawlessly completes the mission, granting him the position of Hall Master wouldn’t be too much.”

“This mission…”

The Blood Lotus Saintess hesitated a bit, but couldn’t find any suitable reason.

“This is a feasible method.”

“If he completes it, proving his cunning, loyalty, strength, and all other aspects…”

Most of the members agreed this time, as this way, no one was blamed.

“If that’s the case, then alright,” the Blood Lotus Saintess agreed.

“What is the mission?”

Chen Yu asked immediately, as it was related to him.

“When the time comes, you will know,” the Blood Lotus Saintess said.

Chen Yu was speechless inside, but he was already accustomed to it; after all, this Blood Moon Organization liked to be mysterious.

“Lord Xue Feng, I wonder if the conditions you initially promised still stand?”

Chen Yu thought for a moment, then asked.

Many present were slightly surprised to know Chen Yu had an understanding with Xue Feng.

“Of course they do. However, if you complete the mission and take up the position of Hall Master, the privileges you enjoy will be even better.”

Xue Feng said with a light smile.

Chen Yu’s expression turned odd, realizing the Blood Lotus Saintess had fought for the Hall Master position for him also to secure better resource terms.

It seemed, there was still a chance to awaken the original Tong Yuling.

Actually, the Blood Lotus Saintess was also considering other issues.

If Chen Yu were an ordinary member, he would have to go out and carry out various missions. If he were a Hall Master, he could freely choose, or even guard some places, doing nothing, and if Chen Yu stayed in Yun Zhao Country, he could stay by her side.

“That’s settled then, everyone can leave.”

The dark-skinned middle-aged said.

Then, the projection on the stone disc faded, and those present slowly left.

“Hand over your Blood Moon Token,” the Blood Lotus Saintess still wore a cold expression.

Blood Moon Token?

Chen Yu thought for a moment. In Qi Country, he had encountered a seductive woman who indeed gave him a blood-moon-shaped token, but it was different from the Blood Moon Token that the Blood Lotus Saintess previously produced.

“If you have this token, you will certainly fail this mission.”

The Blood Lotus Saintess added another line.

Only then did Chen Yu pull out the token and handed it to her.

“Once you complete the mission and become a Hall Master, you will be privy to the core secrets of the Blood Moon Organization. Now, I will send you away from here.”

Following that, the two left the hall and the Blood Lotus Saintess opened a passage, sending Chen Yu on his way.

The next moment, where the Blood Lotus Saintess stood, she tightly closed her eyes, seemingly in some pain, showing a conflicted and struggling expression.

At this moment, it seemed as if two different thoughts were clashing in her mind, causing her pain.

One thought urged her to draw a clear line with Chen Yu, even blaming her for aiding Chen Yu.

The other thought wanted to help Chen Yu, to keep him close by.

…

After returning to Lanling Prefecture, Chen Yu went through a Transmission Array to arrive at Tianhe Prefecture.

As for the mission, since those people didn’t mention it, there was no use in thinking more about it.

Now he was more excited to hand over the materials he had gathered to Master Shen, to have him help create a suitable Spiritual Artifact.
