How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 171 - 0168: Lv Tiezu’s Investigation

Chen Yu's abundant harvest shocked the Three Sects Camp, as well as the Bone Demon Palace faction.

The scene was filled with clamor.

In terms of overall gain, even if half of the Blood Soul Flower was credited to him, Chen Yu could still stand shoulder to shoulder with Mei Changqing.

Although the Blood Soul Flower was a priceless treasure, the spiritual efficacy of the halved Blood Soul Flower was greatly diminished without its bud. Its value was far from even one-tenth of the original.

"It seems that this young man is undoubtedly the murderer who killed Lu Zhuo. Having such a harvest is not surprising."

The Blood Robed Handsome Man glanced over Chen Yu.

He remained calm, pensive, and did not express strong jealousy or murderous intent like Guardian Shangguan.

"Changqing, what is this young man's background that he achieved such a harvest?"

Master Fu's face darkened.

It truly irked him that someone from the Three Sects Camp could match Mei Changqing, a prodigy on equal footing.

"Master, regarding this person..."

Mei Changqing spoke with a hint of bitterness, briefly describing Chen Yu's rise within the Blood Burial Garden.

Included in his account were the incidents where Chen Yu had killed Lu Zhuo and defeated him, which Mei Changqing dared not conceal.

At the same moment.

Many disciples from the Three Sects Camp and the Bone Demon Palace were recounting Chen Yu's experiences within the Blood Burial Garden to their elders.

"So, Qi'er is confirmed to have been killed by this man?"

The purple-haired, golden-armored Guardian Shangguan, upon hearing a disciple's account, displayed a strong resentment and killing intent on his face.

"Helian Tu was also killed by this person? It seems that this young man is a person of great fortune within the Three Sects Camp."

Master Fu's expression fluctuated.

After Chen Yu's deeds were revealed, the Bone Demon Palace faction was furious.

Some of the elders and accomplished individuals from the Three Sects Camp looked enviously at Elder Mao.

Elder Mao's two disciples had reaped significant rewards in the Blood Burial Garden.

Chen Yu's harvest was among the top.

For a time.

Elder Mao was the center of attention, becoming the big winner among the older generation.

Chen Yu, standing in the crowd, felt uneasy under the many hostile, covetous, and murderous gazes.

In the Blood Burial Garden, no matter how imposing he had been, he was ultimately a newcomer.

Any of the older generation's Qi Transformation Innates, let alone the undying old monsters of the Guiyuan Realm, could take his life with a mere flick of their fingers.

Cold sweat began to seep from Chen Yu's forehead.

This was even as he had privately hidden parts of his harvest, such as the ancient Token, the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid, the Puppet Sphere, the Black Blood Strange Grass... including the [Blood Crystal Flame] sealed within his body.

According to Tong Yuling, the value of that [Blood Crystal Flame] was not much less than a complete Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower.

Once such True Fire Spirit Flame was exposed, it would presumably provoke the mad scramble of Guiyuan Realm old freaks.

"Chen Yu, you needn't feel too much pressure. With this trip to the Blood Burial Garden, you have made great contributions to our sect."

The green-robed, white-haired elder said with a slight smile.

At this moment.

The Supreme Elder, the Yunyue Sect Master, and others were in front of Chen Yu, inquiring about various related matters.

Simultaneously.

Lv Tiezu and Master Fu unleashed their Spiritual Sense to search for all the displayed spoils of the disciples.

After a long while.

Disappointment showed on the faces of both Guiyuan Realm individuals.

Master Fu was disappointed because he did not find the other half of the Blood Soul Flower or any trace of the Blood Soul Bud.

If he could find the other half of the Blood Soul Flower and the Blood Soul Bud, there would be a chance to piece together a complete Blood Soul Flower.

Lv Tiezu's disappointment lay in not finding any clues to Lv Santong's death.

Among these.

Lv Tiezu had also paid attention to Chen Yu's numerous spoils of war, finding nothing related to Lv Santong.

"How could this be..."

Lv Tiezu's brows furrowed, feeling as though he was touching upon something, yet without any clues.

At this time.

Master Fu, with a displeased expression, stared at the Yunyue Sect faction and said in a heavy tone:

"Gongyang Daoist, my disciple Changqing tells me that the disappearance of the other half of the Blood Soul Flower, as well as the Blood Soul Bud, seems to be related to your sect's Chen Yu."

With these words.

Once again, the scene erupted. Many eyes converged on the Yunyue Sect and Chen Yu.

The "Gongyang Daoist" mentioned by Master Fu was the white-haired, green-robed elder standing beside Chen Yu, the Yunyue Sect's Supreme Elder.

Facing Master Fu's unfriendly gaze and the Bone Demon Palace's aggressive stance, the high-ranking officials from the other two sects appeared somewhat gloating.

In the war among the Chu Country Sects.

The Bone Demon Palace overshadowed the Three Sects. If they made a further push, they might first destroy one sect.

If indeed.

The Yunyue Sect attracted great hatred from the Bone Demon Palace, it would invisibly share the greater pressure for the other two sects.

"Regarding this matter, Chen Yu has already explained to me..."

The Gongyang Green Robed Elder spoke deliberately and calmly.

In the previous questioning, Chen Yu recounted the situation regarding Tong Yuling.

He had placed all blame for the missing half of the Blood Soul Flower, as well as the Blood Soul Bud, squarely on Tong Yuling.

After all.

Whether Tong Yuling, who stayed behind in the Blood Burial Garden, would return to the lands of the Chu Country, was uncertain.

"This woman was actually seized by a powerful being within the Blood Burial Garden? And she took away half of the Blood Soul Flower, remaining within the garden..."

This significant news caused a great stir within both factions.

Relative to the Chu Country, the Blood Burial Garden was an extremely rare resource-rich land.

The garden's secret space had Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi several times denser than the outside world, especially suited for practitioners of the Blood Path.

"Young friend, could you elaborate on the details of that body seizing event?"

The Blood Robed Handsome Man suddenly spoke up.

Chen Yu was startled and curiously sized up the Blood Robed Man.

"Yu'er, this man is suspected to come from the mysterious 'Blood Moon Organization,' whose background is even more terrifying than the Bone Demon Palace. You must be cautious."

Elder Mao warned him via a transmitted message.

Chen Yu's heart grew tense, for any existence that could make Elder Mao wary was certainly no ordinary figure.

Immediately,

Chen Yu recounted in simple terms the details of how Tong Yuling had been possessed.

"What this young man says is true. The mysterious woman who possessed her is none other than the former master of the Blood Burial Garden—the Blood Lotus Saintess!"

The Blood Robed Man's expression was complex as he sighed deeply.

"Blood Lotus Saintess?"

Upon hearing this, Master Fu could not help but exclaim in shock, showing a look of awe.

"To think that the 'Blood Lotus Saintess,' who perished in the past, had a remnant soul escape back to the Blood Burial Heavenly Garden and take refuge in the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower she had carefully nurtured..."

The Blood Robed Man stated.

"Oh? If that is so, she could have easily created a body from a millennium of Blood Soul, why then did she need to possess a female disciple?"

Master Fu looked puzzled.

"However, a 'Flower Spirit' was born within the Blood Soul Flower, and its awareness had awakened. It occupied half of the Blood Soul Flower alongside the weakened remnant soul of the Blood Lotus Saintess, and it was difficult to distinguish the victor between them."

The Blood Robed Man said with a hint of mockery.

Had Chen Yu been there to hear this discussion, he would have certainly been shocked.

This man had not personally entered the Blood Burial Garden, yet he had deduced these details based on the accounts of disciples from the outside world.

"In the end, this lad, Chen Yu, split open the Blood Soul Flower. This accomplished the resurrection of the 'Blood Lotus Saintess' remnant soul, which, by a fortuitous coincidence, took residence in the body of the girl named Tong Yuling. I surmise that this female disciple must have some blood-related origins in her body that allowed the Blood Lotus Saintess to succeed with such ease."

The Blood Robed Man analyzed one by one.

"Fate plays tricks on us indeed. A single thought from this young man could potentially enable the 'Blood Lotus Saintess' to rise again and perhaps change the fate of the entire Kunyun Realm."

Master Fu couldn't help but lament.

"With the acquisition of half the Blood Soul Flower and various other treasures in the garden, it wouldn't be difficult for the 'Blood Lotus Saintess' to recover to her peak. The most regrettable part is the [Blood Crystal Flame], which is most likely under her control now..."

The Blood Robed Man was filled with regret.

"The [Blood Crystal Flame]? Such a legendary True Fire Spirit Flame actually exists in the Blood Burial Garden."

Master Fu was shaken to his core.

The Blood Robed Man's face was filled with regret, and his heart seemed to bleed.

His plan fell just short.

If he could get his hands on the [Blood Crystal Flame], the [Blood Sun Pearl], and the [Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower] all at once,

He was confident that within twenty years, he could reach the summit of the continent.

Clang swoosh!

Just then, a brilliant orange light from the Surprising Swallow Sword soared into the sky, and the surrounding wind and clouds churned.

At the same time,

An overwhelming Sword Intent enveloped everyone present, making the people of the Three Sects Camp and the Bone Demon Palace tremble in their hearts.

"Lv Tiantong, have you not yet found the murderer?"

Master Fu said indifferently.

At this moment,

Despite using various methods, Lv Tiezu had failed to find any leads on the murderer.

The tremendous Sword Intent he had just launched was meant to sense the sword-shaped Jade Talisman in Lv Santong's possession.

Lv Santong had three such sword talismans, crucial for life-or-death situations.

He would undoubtedly use one of those sword-shaped Jade Talismans, which were personally crafted by Lv Tiezu, imbued with his own Sword Dao power.

Once the power of such a sword-shaped Jade Talisman attacked someone, it would naturally taint them with a trace of its essence.

"Hmm? It's you..."

Lv Tiezu's sharp gaze fixated on Mei Changqing.

This scene

Caused Chen Yu and Liu Xin'er to show astonished expressions.

But soon,

Chen Yu understood the likely reason.

Lv Santong must have been pursued by Mei Changqing and had probably used a sword-shaped Jade Talisman, tainting his pursuer with the sword's Dao power, albeit faintly.

Liu Xin'er had also come into contact with the power of this sword-shaped Jade Talisman.

However, the [Blood Sun Pearl], which she had unleashed beyond her level, was too powerful, instantly burning away that force, so she didn't retain any related aura.

"Changqing, was it you who killed Lv Santong?"

Master Fu asked calmly.

He had no reservations about the matter and didn't care if Mei Changqing admitted to it or not.

Lv Tiezu's eyes also flashed with wariness as he looked toward the back of the Bone Demon Palace camp, where a deadly still stone coffin lay.

"Senior Lv. Changqing did indeed pursue Lv Santong but failed to catch him. He used one of those sword-shaped Jade Talismans and almost rebounded against me."

Mei Changqing said calmly.

Lv Tiezu frowned slightly. He was aware of the pursuit circumstances already recounted by a disciple of the Iron Sword sect.

"I would confess if I were the killer. Why hide? However, I might offer a thought."

Mei Changqing then smiled again.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Lv Tiezu's eyes gleamed with a cold light, surprised as he looked at Mei Changqing.

Indeed,

If Mei Changqing had killed Lv Santong, he would have no reason to hide and could simply admit it openly.

Besides,

Lv Tiezu subconsciously hoped that Mei Changqing was not the murderer.

"Everyone knows that of all the disciples who entered the Blood Burial Garden, aside from Mei, only Chen Yu and Lu Zhuo were likely capable of killing Lv Santong. And that Lu Zhuo... has died at the hands of Chen Yu..."

Mei Changqing grinned enigmatically, then fell silent.

He would not accuse Chen Yu of being the murderer, but the insinuation was crystal clear.

"This Mei Changqing, what a schemer..."

Chen Yu cursed inwardly.

Was he not obviously sowing discord among the factions of the Three Sects Camp?

Lv Santong had strong survival skills.

People like Jiang Ping, Demon Clown, and Chang Xuan had no chance of threatening Lv Santong's life.

In the Blood Burial Garden,

After Chen Yu had killed Lu Zhuo and subsequently won against Mei Changqing,

If they ruled out Mei Changqing and the deceased Lu Zhuo, based on "capability," there was only Chen Yu left.
