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

Chapter 638: Chapter 0633: King Clan

Five months later, Chen Yu led six of the Yang Family’s talents, rushing towards the disciples’ recruitment site of Black Demon Valley—Sky-reaching Peak!

“This trip, I must enter Black Demon Valley, and once I have successfully cultivated, I will personally kill that traitor Yan Hanshan!”

A slightly younger Yang Family’s disciple said, clenching his fist.

“Me too!”

Another person said nearby.

Whenever Black Demon Valley was mentioned, they couldn’t help but get excited.

That was a three-and-a-half-star force in the Southern Domain, just as powerful as the Heavenly Jade Sect.

Previously, when the Yang Family’s disciples saw Yan Hanshan from the Heavenly Jade Sect, all of them greeted him with smiles, fawning over him, and the female disciples even sent him flirtatious glances, wishing they could throw themselves into his arms.

But now, they also had the chance to enter such a powerful sect.

“Don’t think it’s simple,” Yang Fenghou said in a calm voice, shaking his head. “A three-and-a-half-star force is not easy to join, and even if you get in, it’s hard to survive without enough strength.”

When he was young and his talents had not yet emerged, he had joined a two-and-a-half-star sect where he also had to struggle to gain entry.

In the Great Yu Realm, sects of the same star level were far stronger than a family.

And there were countless intricate connections between sects and families.

Later, after Yang Fenghou had learned much, he resigned his position as a disciple, returned to the Yang Family, took over some affairs, and later assumed the position of Family Head.

“Fenghou brother, how difficult is it to join Black Demon Valley?”

The young Yang Family disciple also started to worry.

“How difficult? Under normal circumstances, even Yang Yuhuan would have a hard time getting in,” Yang Fenghou said in a heavy tone.

Currently at the peak of the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, Yang Yuhuan was second only to Yang Fenghou in talent among the young Yang Family disciples present.

“You should know, the Great Yu Realm is filled with talented individuals and numerous beings, but how many three-and-a-half-star sects are there in the entire Southern Domain?”

“Who knows how many people are bursting their scalps trying to enter Black Demon Valley, among them not lacking are some from two-and-a-half-star families, and even royal clans!”

“If it weren’t for the Yang Family Ancestor who had a friend in Black Demon Valley years ago, and personally visited with a grand gift, Yang Hai and Yang Ling, you wouldn’t even have the opportunity to participate in the assessment!” Yang Fenghou added, not afraid of dampening their spirits.

“Is it that difficult?”

Young disciple Yang Hai’s face stiffened, and his volume lowered considerably.

They also knew that in the Great Yu Realm, their Yang Family could only be considered a lower-tier family—a type of family that was extremely common and hardly counted for anything.

And now, they were like those trying to surge from the lower-tier to the mid-tier or even upper-tier, naturally, the difficulty was immense.

During his time with the Yang Family, Chen Yu had come to understand some of these situations.

Black Demon Valley, as a three-and-a-half-star force in the Southern Domain, was filled with strong cultivators and numerous talents.

Previously, the Yang Family would not have allowed these young disciples to enter Black Demon Valley.

Firstly, whether they could get in was a problem. Furthermore, entering such a competitive and harsh force like Black Demon Valley without any backing would make survival very difficult.

If they accidentally offended some big shot inside, they could end up dead without even knowing how it happened.

But now the Yang Family was out of options.

With only just over two hundred people left in the whole Yang Family, the family’s situation was extremely precarious. If some disciples could make a name for themselves in Black Demon Valley, they might gain some protection.

Furthermore, the Yang Family had a powerful enemy, Yan Hanshan, a talented individual from the three-and-a-half-star force Heavenly Jade Sect.

This person was exceptionally talented and likely wouldn’t need much time to reach the Sky Sea Realm Venerable level. When he did, he would certainly seek revenge on the Yang Family.

Unless the Yang Family figured something out, they would face retaliation from Yan Hanshan unless they disbanded the family.

Sending the few remaining Yang Family disciples to Black Demon Valley was a choice made in hopes that if they encountered some fortune and grew strong, the Yang Family would also have the power to resist later on.

What Chen Yu didn’t know was that the Yang Family had pinned their greatest hopes on him.

Now, the Yang Family had paid a great price to send Chen Yu into the three-and-a-half-star force.

Chen Yu was not one to be ungrateful; if he achieved something later on and the Yang Family faced peril, he definitely couldn’t just stand by and watch.

It can be said that if Chen Yu had not agreed to go to Black Demon Valley, the Yang Family’s Ancestor wouldn’t have sent these elite family members there.

“With Brother Chen’s words, there will definitely be no problems.”

Yang Yuhuan showed a beautiful and charming smile.

Yang Fenghou glanced at Chen Yu, his expression unnaturally turning downwards.

Chen Yu’s talents potentially even surpassed Yan Hanshan’s, so entering Black Demon Valley should be no problem.

He and Chen Yu were not on good terms, but the troubling part was, after entering Black Demon Valley, he would need to try his best to maintain a good relationship with Chen Yu.

“Brother Chen might even enter the top ten of the outer sect, or perhaps be taken as a disciple by an elder on the very day he enters the valley!”

Yang Fenghou sorted his emotions and showed an envious smile.

It was precisely for this reason that Yang Fenghou felt that he needed to build a good relationship with Chen Yu.

With Chen Yu’s skills, within five or ten years, he could move from the “Outer Valley” to the “Inner Valley”.

Having the protection of Inner Valley disciples would make his life in Black Demon Valley easier. He might even have a chance to enter the “Inner Valley” in the future.

Other Yang Family disciples also showed admiration and awe.

The gap between them and Chen Yu was just too vast.

“But why does Black Demon Valley recruit disciples at ‘Sky-reaching Peak’, so far from their location?”

Young disciple Yang Hai asked.

“You’ll know when you get there!” Even Yang Fenghou felt puzzled and did not know the answer.

In the journey that followed, they learned another shocking piece of news.

Heavenly Jade Sect, a three-and-a-half-star power, was also recruiting disciples a month later at “Sky-reaching Peak.”

When they had learned this, they even doubted if the Ancestor had remembered the location incorrectly.

But after making some inquiries, they got the accurate news that Heavenly Jade Sect and Black Demon Valley were indeed recruiting disciples at Sky-reaching Peak at the same time.

“Rumors say that Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect have always been at odds, so how come they are so friendly this time and recruiting disciples together?”

A disciple of the Yang Family said.

In the nearby area, anyone normal basically knew this common knowledge.

Disciples from Heavenly Jade Sect and Black Demon Valley often engaged in fights and killings, sometimes even involving the elders of both sects.

“Will we encounter Yan Hanshan this time?”

Yang Yuhuan suddenly remembered something.

The other Yang Family’s disciples fell silent.

If it weren’t for Chen Yu agreeing to go to Black Demon Valley, the Ancestor wouldn’t dare let them travel far, fearing that Yan Hanshan would harm them on the road.

“Don’t worry. Near Sky-reaching Peak, there’s a ‘Cultivation Spirit Hall.’ We’ll go there first and then head to Sky-reaching Peak on the day they recruit disciples!”

Yang Fenghou also frowned slightly, then said.

A day later.

Chen Yu and his group arrived near a “Cultivation Spirit Hall” at Sky-reaching Peak.

From afar, they saw a huge silhouette enveloped by layers of clouds.

Chen Yu felt this was certainly not as simple as a palace.

As they approached, he felt a grand aura coming towards him, the various buildings rose from the ground, clustered together, twinkling with different lights.

This was no palace; in Yun Zhao Country, only the luxurious Royal City Mansion of the thirty-six mansions could compare.

And Chen Yu mysteriously sensed that within those clouds, there was an extremely powerful Array energy fluctuation.

Under the introduction of Yang Family’s disciples, Chen Yu learned that the Cultivation Spirit Hall in the Southern Domain was equivalent to a trade center, with food, drink, and entertainment available; it truly had everything.

“Let’s stay inside for a month!”

Yang Fenghou suggested, then looked at Chen Yu.

“Okay!”

Chen Yu nodded.

He was a novice and didn’t understand much, but after all, he was the leader of this team.

Before the Cultivation Spirit Hall, there was quite a long queue.

Since Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect were recruiting at Sky-reaching Peak and there was only one Cultivation Spirit Hall nearby, those who arrived early basically chose to enter the Hall, hence the situation.

Chen Yu and his group stood at the back of the line.

“So many people, are they all trying to get into Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect?”

Yang Hai expressed his surprise.

His cultivation was the lowest among the six from the Yang Family, and to find a few in the queue weaker than him was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Suddenly.

ROAR!

A roaring sound came from behind, the terrifying aura caused the people in the front of the line to tremble, many of them circulated their True Yuan to resist.

A huge carriage, three-zhang tall and pulled by two Golden Griffins, came rushing with great command.

“The royal clan ‘You Clan’!”

“Look, isn’t that the genius ‘You Lie’ of the You Clan, who, not yet forty, already has the cultivation of Half-step Sky Sea Realm!”

A family could only be considered a royal clan if, since its establishment, it had produced a King in the Condensed Star Realm.

Chen Yu glanced over and saw five people in the carriage, the leader wearing a black robe, his gaze cold and proud, looking straight ahead, exuding a sharp aura.

Beside him were four youths, each a young elite of the You Clan.

Behind the carriage, there were also thirty-eight young cultivators, also from the You Clan, but their status in the clan was probably not as high as those in the carriage.

“My God, the royal clan You Clan, those two Golden Griffins alone are of Sky Sea Realm level!”

Yang Hai watched the carriage with immense shock and envy.

The man in the black robe, You Lie, glanced indifferently below after hearing Yang Hai’s words, his gaze becoming even more disdainful and he showed a hint of a mocking smile.

BOOM!

The You Clan’s carriage bypassed the queue directly and majestically went straight to the entrance of the Spirit Hall.

Shortly thereafter, the You Clan’s carriage entered the Cultivation Spirit Hall.

The people in the queue could only grumble a few words, not daring to say much.

If there happened to be a member of the You Clan in the queue who heard them, it would be over.

A while later, it was Chen Yu and his group’s turn.

“To enter the Cultivation Spirit Hall, it costs a hundred medium Grade Essence Stones, and additionally, five more for each day of residence.”

A grey-haired old man with a goat beard said somewhat impatiently.

“Isn’t it usually only fifty medium Grade Essence Stones to enter the Cultivation Spirit Hall?”

Yang Fenghou quietly asked.

“The price has gone up. If you’re not entering, don’t waste my time. There are others waiting.”

The old man with the goat beard said, somewhat displeased.

Yang Fenghou and the others said no more and obediently paid the Essence Stones, following the massive crowd into the Cultivation Spirit Hall.

Instantly, palace buildings, high towers, lakes, and mountains came into everyone’s sight, the incessant stream of people, various Spirit Pets as mounts, and flying artifacts moving to and fro, the bustling scene making even Chen Yu stand still for a while.
