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

Chapter 630: Chapter 0625: Crisis of the Yang Family

“What would the guest like?”

The shopkeeper asked with warm enthusiasm.

Despite his young age, Chen Yu possessed extremely high cultivation. His talent had far surpassed the young geniuses of the Yang Family.

He had also heard that Chen Yu was the benefactor of the Yang Family.

“I’ll take one Clearing Origin Pill and one Sea Cleaning Pill.”

Chen Yu thought for a moment before stating his requirements.

Since there were Spirit Pills available, Chen Yu certainly wouldn’t buy materials with inferior medicinal effects. Moreover, these two kinds of Spirit Pills were very affordable, so Chen Yu decided to start by buying two.

“It will be a total of 880,000 low-grade Essence Stones.”

Chen Yu took out the 5,000 mid-grade Essence Stones given to him by the Yang Family, and then took another 380,000 low-grade Essence Stones from the Smoke-spitting Pearl.

After paying the expense, Chen Yu received the two Elixirs.

Bringing the pills close to his nose and taking a whiff, Chen Yu smiled and said, “Genuine quality, not bad at all.”

Having spent 880,000 low-grade Essence Stones, there were only about 300,000 left in Chen Yu’s possession. Clearly, this was not enough to support his cultivation journey after the late Guiyuan Realm.

Therefore, Chen Yu had to join a power and obtain resources for cultivation.

The Beishui Yang Family was just a temporary resting place for him. Chen Yu planned to propose becoming a Guest Elder of the Yang Family after some time, which would allow him to receive some resources monthly, along with corresponding privileges.

Returning to his residence, Chen Yu took out the Clearing Origin Pill and swallowed it.

After ingesting the pill, under the effect of his mysterious heart, the medicinal properties of the Clearing Origin Pill spread out very quickly and began to take effect.

Chen Yu felt as if a clear torrent was suddenly rushing toward his murky, speckled True Essence Lake.

This sensation was like a person who hadn’t bathed for dozens of days suddenly jumping into a clear river, experiencing an immediate sense of comfort and refreshment.

After one rinse, a small part of the impurities in Chen Yu’s True Essence Lake were expelled.

Just then, the second wave of medicinal effects arrived.

…

After nine rinses, about forty percent of the impurities in Chen Yu’s True Essence Lake had been expelled.

Of course, this didn’t mean that just two more Clearing Origin Pills or Sea Cleaning Pills would completely remove all impurities.

Not to mention that the efficacy of the same pill diminished upon a second intake, and as the process progressed, the difficulty of expelling impurities increased.

Chen Yu was in no hurry. Once all the impurities in his True Essence Lake were thoroughly expelled and he solidified it slightly, he would essentially qualify for an attempt to reach the peak of the late-stage Guiyuan Realm.

His pace of cultivation was incredibly fast.

Half a month later, Chen Yu ingested the Sea Cleaning Pill.

The Sea Cleaning Pill was expensive and effective for those at Half-step Sky Sea and even at the early stages of the Sky Sea Realm.

The moment he swallowed the pill, Chen Yu felt as if a pure, white stream fell into his True Essence Lake, beginning to devour impurities outside the Demon Pattern True Essence.

“The medicinal effect of the Sea Cleaning Pill is indeed much better than the Clearing Origin Pill. The Clearing Origin Pill only roughly expels impurities, while the Sea Cleaning Pill is more delicate in its approach.”

Chen Yu noted the difference between the two pills.

One month later, Chen Yu had completely absorbed the medicinal effects of the two pills, and more than sixty percent of the impurities in his True Essence Lake had been removed.

He left his room and wandered around, arriving at the Yang Family’s library.

As an outsider, he couldn’t access some of the Yang Family’s treasured Cultivation Techniques, combat skills, and secret studies.

Of course, Chen Yu’s intention was not to steal any skills; he simply wanted to learn more about the Great Yu Realm.

After half a day’s work, Chen Yu left the library.

At that moment, he had gained a certain understanding of the Great Yu Realm.

The Great Yu Realm was divided into four major domains: east, south, west, and north, beyond which lay the vast endless seas!

The sects and powers of the Great Yu Realm were ranked by stars.

Powers with Guiyuan Realm as their base were considered the lowest one-star powers, extremely numerous throughout the Great Yu Realm.

Those with Venerables at the Sky Sea Realm were two-star powers, able to securely occupy a territory with little movement.

Powers with Kings at the Condensed Star Realm were three-star forces, reckoned as the backbone of the Great Yu Realm!

What surprised Chen Yu even more was that in this world, there were even stronger four-star forces, defined by having an Emperor at the Xuanming Realm or above!

“Xuanming Realm, four-star forces!”

Chen Yu’s eyes showed his longing.

The entire Southern Domain only had one four-star force known as the “Evil Moon Sect,” which was considered the ruling force of the Southern Domain.

Furthermore, besides the Human Race, the Great Yu Realm also had the Demon Race. The two races lived in peace, not like the Kunyun Realm, where humans and different species were in such conflict that they couldn’t coexist.

The Demon Race occupied the endless seas, among which the four-star force “Nine Dragon Holy Hall” held dominion!

“Great Yu Realm!”

Knowing all this, Chen Yu was filled with interest and longing for his upcoming travels in the Great Yu Realm!

He wanted to witness the ruling forces that shook regions, to experience firsthand how strong the legendary Emperors of Xuanming Realm were, and what the situation was like with the Demon Race in the endless seas.

Furthermore, the Great Yu Realm was a major plane in the vast cosmos, making it relatively convenient to travel to other nearby planes.

While looking into information about the Great Yu Realm, Chen Yu also focused on finding out about two powers he had previously encountered.

The first was the Carefree Palace!

The Fang Brothers and Sisters from the Blood Star Realm came from the Carefree Palace.

Unfortunately for Chen Yu, the Carefree Palace was located in the Southern Domain of the Great Yu Realm.

It was likely that Fang Yanling, upon learning of her brother’s death, could guess that it was Chen Yu’s doing, and that the Blood Star Holy Pill was in his hands.

The second was the Divine Luo Sect!

This sect was quite peculiar.

The book described the Divine Luo Sect as one of the oldest and most famous powers in the Great Yu Realm, despite having only a few members, and its deterrent power was not weaker than any four-star ruling force.

“A force with only a few people, and that strong?”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but wonder if the author of the book had received Essence Stones from the Divine Luo Sect or was altogether a member of the sect.

Additionally, the Divine Luo Sect was in the Eastern Domain.

Having just left the place where the books were stored, Chen Yu sensed something amiss.

Chen Yu was aware that he had been under surveillance by the Yang Family, with Yang An himself watching over Chen Yu every day for the past month, in addition to several of the Yang Family’s disciples tailing him.

But today, Yang An was nowhere to be seen, leaving only one of the Yang Family’s disciples to watch Chen Yu.

Suddenly, Yang Yuhuan appeared in Chen Yu’s view, her eyes betraying a touch of worry as she flew towards the main hall of the Yang Family.

“Miss Yuhuan, what has happened?”

Chen Yu immediately flew over to her.

“The expedition team led by the Family Head was ambushed by the Black Heart Eleven Bandits, suffering heavy casualties…”

Yang Yuhuan spoke directly.

“Yuhuan!”

One of the Yang Family’s high-ranking members frowned and immediately scolded her.

Yang Yuhuan realized she had spoken out of turn.

The matter was under strict orders from the Family Head to be kept confidential.

“Brother Chen, I have other matters to attend to, so I must go.”

Afterward, Yang Yuhuan left.

“To think that the Yang Family, with their strength, would suffer a setback?”

Chen Yu also knew that the Yang Family had sent the majority of their combat power to eliminate the Black Heart Eleven Bandits and was surprised that they had failed.

The Yang Family’s discussion hall had a suffocating atmosphere.

“Alas, it is my fault that so many of our kin have perished,”

Family Head Yang Yuan, his complexion showing age and weariness, looked injured.

“Family Head, the team you led was clearly stronger than the Black Heart Eleven Bandits. How could they fail and lose so many people?”

Yang An asked excitedly.

The Yang Family had dispatched including four elders and the Yang Family Head, along with many elite members of the Yang Family, about three hundred people in total.

But in the end, only a little more than thirty returned, a perplexing result indeed.

“We were attacked before we even reached the Black Heart Eleven Bandits’ lair, and by the time we got there…”

One of the surviving elders narrated.

They were attacked even before they arrived.

Upon arrival, not only did they find an empty lair, but they also fell into the traps of the Black Heart Eleven Bandits and were entangled in arrays.

In the end, only a few more than thirty people survived to return.

“There’s a traitor!”

“That’s right, there must have been someone tipping them off; otherwise, how could they have known about the Yang Family’s actions and route?”

Yang An immediately said after hearing this.

This was known to the thirty odd survivors, but they had no idea who the traitor might be.

Yang An’s first thought was of Chen Yu, but over the past month, Chen Yu had been under his surveillance, and he noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

“This time, we have Yan Hanshan to thank. If it weren’t for him, our losses would have been even worse,”

one of the family stewards said, looking at Yan Hanshan with deep gratitude.

Thereafter, the Yang Family adopted a very low profile.

And Yan Hanshan stayed temporarily with the Yang Family.

It was rumored that during the hunt for the bandits, Yan Hanshan had developed a mutual affection for a woman of the Yang Family.

In this, the Yang Family was very pleased, as before they had been concerned that Yan Hanshan might not be interested in any Yang Family woman.

Although the Yang Family had suffered heavy losses this time, having Yan Hanshan as a son-in-law, once he enters the core disciples of the Heavenly Jade Sect and becomes a Sky Sea Realm Venerable, he could also serve as a protective barrier for the Yang Family.

…

Meanwhile, the lair of the Black Heart Eleven Bandits was now empty.

Tens of thousands of miles away, two black ships shuttle through the clouds.

“In two days, we’ll reach the Yang Family. This two-star family is a chunk of fat meat indeed,”

the hunchbacked man, the Black Heart Bandits’ second-in-command, sneered.

“At that time, I want ten beautiful girls. The Yang Family’s number one beauty, Yang Yuhuan, is also mine; none of you had better snatch her away!”

One bandit with yellow teeth excitedly said, drooling from the corner of his mouth.

“Impatience can’t rush hot tofu, let’s first ambush near the Yang Family. We will wait for Yan Hanshan to lay out the groundwork before we wipe out the Yang Family, which will probably take some time!”

The Black Heart Boss sat on an animal skin chair, holding a wine cup, his face fierce and with a grim smile at the corner of his mouth.

Beneath him, two attractive and scantily clad women massaged his legs.

“Heh, Heavenly Jade Sect’s White Robed Jade Sword, Yan Hanshan, is even more ruthless than our Black Heart Eleven Bandits!”

The hunchbacked man said with a sneer.

“Boss, why does Yan Hanshan want to join forces with us, going to such lengths to wipe out the Yang Family?”

The Black Heart Third, a man with long arms, asked with a solemn expression.

“Yan Hanshan and I have made a deal: we take eighty percent of the Yang Family’s resources, he only wants twenty percent, and an item! I’ve heard that the Beishui Yang Family possesses a clan-guarding Spirit Artifact of high-grade quality, the ‘Ice Cold Jade Armor’; I suspect that’s his objective!”

The Black Heart Boss replied.

One must know that even the Demon Flood Dragon Sword in Chen Yu’s possession was only of medium-grade quality.

“A high-grade top-class Spiritual Artifact? The mere Yang Family has such a treasure?”

The hunchbacked man exclaimed in surprise.

“If the boss gets his hands on this treasure armor, he will be able to contend with Sky Sea Realm experts!” another person said.

“That’s right, if I acquire this treasure armor, I’ll be able to stand against Sky Sea Realm experts; therefore, how can I allow Yan Hanshan to have it!”

The Black Heart Boss said, taking a sip of fine wine, with a crooked smile.
