How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 834 - 829: The Mysterious Cloaked Man
Chapter 834: Chapter 829: The Mysterious Cloaked Man
The old man in black looked at the sacred artifact emitting a strong white light, his expression slightly stunned, not understanding why.
He didn’t encounter many sacred artifacts, but he knew that they wouldn’t exhibit such phenomena without reason.
"The sacred artifact has a spirit, perhaps it senses the great calamity facing the Meng Clan."
Without thinking much, the old man in black picked up the bronze mirror and left the place.
After he left, Chen Yu emerged from the darkness.
A half-piece of a jade pendant appeared in his hand, similarly shining with an exceptionally bright glow, subtly levitating, pointing in the direction where the "sacred artifact" had gone.
"Could the clue to my lineage be related to that bronze mirror?"
Chen Yu muttered softly.
That brass mirror was the sacred artifact of Meng Family Village, and as an outsider, Chen Yu certainly couldn’t easily touch it.
Moreover, he couldn’t take someone else’s sacred artifact during the critical moment for the Meng Clan, which would essentially be harming the entire Meng Family Village.
"I wonder if there are any other clues here..."
Chen Yu glanced around the secret chamber and walked deeper.
The layout of the chamber was very simple, with the most eye-catching part being several scrolls hanging on the wall.
Though they were just painted figures, the artist had superb skills, making the characters vivid and lifelike. A single glance could evoke various moods and the powerful aura emanating from the painted figures.
"The figures in these paintings must be formidable individuals."
This showed that the origin of Meng Family Village was not simple.
Chen Yu took a sweeping glance, and his gaze involuntarily lingered on the central painting.
It’s often said that seeing someone who resembles you will naturally evoke a sense of familiarity.
At that moment, Chen Yu saw the middle-aged man in the painting and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The middle-aged man wore a Qingyun robe, his expression serious, features rugged and chiselled, eyes as deep and endless as the night sky.
Chen Yu didn’t ponder much; many people in the world had similar appearances.
His eyes were drawn to the four large characters next to the painting.
"Qingyun Emperor!"
Chen Yu’s face showed shock as he blurted out.
Unexpectedly, in the secret place of the Meng Family Village Chief, there was a painting of the Qingyun Emperor. Could there be some connection between the Meng Clan and the once-renowned Qingyun Emperor?
Scanning around carefully with his spiritual sense, Chen Yu found nothing else and then left that place.
Outside, the battle was incredibly intense.
"Haha, Meng Jiang, with your current state, how long can you hold on?"
The old man in plain clothes, Yin Changshan, laughed aloud.
Within him surged a powerful soul power, controlling three ghost corpses, engaging in a dance of death with the village chief.
Among the three ghost corpses, two had cultivation at the peak of the late Sky Sea Realm, and the third was at the late Sky Sea Realm.
However, within the "Life Destruction Soul Locking Array," these three ghost corpses had their combat power enhanced.
In contrast, the village chief, Meng Jiang, had been recklessly breaking through earlier and was repelled by Yin Changshan and another red-clothed woman together, suffering injuries and only able to exert sixty to seventy percent of his strength.
Moreover, the array’s influence on the village chief caused his vitality to constantly diminish, lowering his condition.
Yin Changshan didn’t need to exert his full strength and could slowly play the village chief to death.
The village chief’s face was gloomy, and he remained silent.
He also saw that their side’s chances of victory were low.
But as long as there was hope, he would fight to the end, striving for a chance of survival. free𝑤ebnovel.com
If caught by the Yin Clan, it would be better to die in battle here.
The Yin Clan had a long-standing heritage, possessing the cultivation method of the Ancient Soul Path within the clan, with mysterious and unpredictable secret techniques capable of summoning souls and refining souls, also employing soul attacks.
They would turn the Meng Clan’s people into ghost corpses or ghost servants, eternally slaves to the other side.
At this moment.
"Activate the sacred artifact!"
On a stone disk somewhere in the village, six people formed a battle formation, infusing their power into a circular bronze mirror.
The previously ordinary round bronze mirror suddenly shimmered with a hint of white blight, the white light spreading, the mirror surface instantly turning pure white.
Instantly.
A wave of white light rippled out like water, clean and pure, slightly weakening the power of the "Life Destruction Soul Locking Array" within its coverage area.
"Attack!"
The old man in black shouted.
Six people channeled their bloodline power, True Yuan pouring into the bronze mirror, causing its light to intensify.
A beam of pure white light shot out from the mirror’s surface, piercing through the darkness, instantly dissipating the cold ghostly aura.
"Assist the village chief in killing the enemies!"
The six controlled the sacred artifact, assisting the village chief in dealing with Yin Changshan.
The mirror surface glowed brilliantly.
At a certain moment!
Whizz!
A blinding light pierced through everything, radiating out.
"Damn it!"
Yin Changshan’s face changed slightly, the aura from the white light filling him with aversion.
He immediately controlled the ghost corpse at the late Sky Sea Realm to block in front of him while executing a secret technique that caused the ghost corpse to erupt with terrible ghostly energy, forming a black vortex.
Whizz-bang!
The piercing clean light shone forth.
In an instant, the black vortex was penetrated, the clean white light attacking Yin Changshan.
Yin Changshan’s face dramatically changed, pulling out a piece of talisman paper, activating a layer of dark runes, forming a wall to block the blinding light.
"Damn it, I lost a ghost corpse and couldn’t block its power."
Yin Changshan cursed a bit.
Outside the Life Destruction Soul Locking Array, the red-clothed woman raised an eyebrow.
"This artifact contains the Meng Ancestor’s power and is quite a treasure."
The red-clothed woman’s gaze landed on the pure white mirror, revealing a hint of interest.
Originally, she presided over the Life Destruction Soul Locking Array, but now she assigned this task to other members of the Yin Clan.
Buzz!
The red-clothed woman penetrated the array and descended.
She waved her hand, and two ghostly women dressed in white, with alluring makeup, let out piercing screams and charged at the six people controlling the sacred relic.
"These people working together can make this mirror unleash an attack at the Half-step Condensed Star Realm level!"
The red-clothed woman pondered her countermeasures.
She was also at the Half-step Condensed Star Realm but found the power of the mirror somewhat oppressive for her.
Moreover, the essence of the Meng Clan ancestors emanating from the mirror made the red-clothed woman hesitant to confront it head-on.
"Ghost creatures, die!"
The six controlled the sacred relic, launching attack after attack.
Yet, the red-clothed woman kept hiding in the shadows, using the two ghost women to engage them in a skirmish.
"Hehe, the power of the Half-step Condensed Star Realm is not so easily wielded. Let’s see how long the six of you can hold on,"
The red-clothed woman sneered coldly from the shadows.
At this time, Chen Yu just walked out of the village chief’s house.
"This sacred relic can actually unleash power at the Half-step Condensed Star level, and it seems it’s not even at its limit."
Chen Yu looked at the pure white mirror.
The current situation gave Meng Family Village a glimmer of hope.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll lend them a hand. If successful, afterward I might also borrow the sacred relic for a look."
Chen Yu had made up his mind.
Furthermore, during his twenty-plus days in the village, they treated him, an outsider, quite well.
Chen Yu retracted the bloodline power of the Night Winged Wolf and put on a cloak.
Helping Meng Family Village means opposing one of the six major clans, the Yin Clan. Facing such a giant, it’s best not to let them know his identity.
Whoosh!
He immediately dashed forward, approaching a burly man who was battling with a skeleton nearby.
Thud!
He punched quickly, like lightning, leaving the skeleton no chance to dodge and smashing it to bits.
The burly man looked at the mysterious cloaked figure before him, visibly stunned, clearly puzzled by Chen Yu’s identity.
"Too many ghost creatures."
Chen Yu swept his gaze around.
Using large-scale attacks risked harming people from Meng Family Village.
So Chen Yu struck the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword into the ground.
He slightly closed his eyes, letting his Spiritual Sense and Spatial Realm Power extend outward.
Given Chen Yu’s current insight into the Spatial Realm, the scope of influence of Spiritual Realm Power could envelop a range of seven hundred feet.
At a certain moment, Chen Yu infused True Yuan wildly into the bone sword.
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
A dark, menacing bone spike emerged unexpectedly from underground, piercing a Ghost Evil.
Simultaneously, all around, one after another of dark bone spikes erupted from the ground, annihilating ghost servants and ghost corpses.
In an instant.
Chen Yu cleared the enemies around him, reducing the sounds of battle nearby, making it somewhat quiet.
"What happened?"
"Who did this?"
Both foes and allies looked shocked, scanning around to identify the perpetrator of this scene.
Even the two half-step Condensed Star Realm individuals from the Yin Clan were startled by this scene.
"It seems although the Meng Clan has been hiding from pursuit all these years, they haven’t been idle."
Yin Changshan said coldly without paying much attention.
As long as the Meng Clan did not display other Half-step Condensed Star Realm combat power, the situation wouldn’t change.
"It’s him!"
The burly man saved by Chen Yu previously exclaimed in shock.
He found it hard to believe that the mysterious cloaked man had exterminated nearly a hundred enemies in such a short time.
Meanwhile, he had many questions: Who is this mysterious cloaked man? Why is he helping Meng Family Village?
At the same time, Chen Yu also attracted much hostility from the Yin Clan people, masses of ghosts and ghost corpses rushing in.
"Get lost!"
Chen Yu swung his fists and feet, a layer of dark demonic light swept away everything before him.
"Ah..."
Screams echoed continuously, all enemies nearing Chen Yu were utterly destroyed.
This scene surprised many from the Yin Clan, feeling heartache.
Those ghost corpses and ghost creatures were nurtured by them over a long period after refinement, not easily won.
From among the Yin Clan crowd, a blue-robed man flew out, coldly gazing at Chen Yu: "You’re not of the Meng Clan? Why are you helping these rebels?"
"It’s none of your business,"
Chen Yu snorted coldly.
"Courting death!"
The blue-robed man’s face turned icy.
From the earlier scene, he could already tell that Chen Yu’s strength was formidable; ordinary attacks couldn’t harm him.
"Ignorant being, let me show you the Yin Clan’s... Soul Attack Secret Technique!"
The blue-robed man had a slightly grim expression, a powerful fluctuation of soul power emanated from his soul.
Those around him all felt an icy shiver in their souls, as if plunged into an ice cellar, they distanced themselves.
Many ghost creatures fled in panic like mice seeing a cat.
In an instant, the space around the blue-robed man was empty.
"This is the Yin Clan’s strongest cultivation technique, the Cold Thought Ice Soul Technique. Didn’t expect Yin Wei to master it!"
"No wonder he’s a genius of the Yin Clan; if he competes for the Heavenly Arrogance List, he’d at least be top five, maybe even top three!"
The gazes of many Yin Clan members fell on the blue-robed man, filled with envy.
Then they turned to Chen Yu, revealing a look of pity.
In the Yin Clan, one of the six major clans, with its long heritage, the clan harbors Soul Path Cultivation Methods from Ancient Times, some Soul Attack Secret Techniques, incredibly powerful and difficult to defend against.
This mysterious cloaked figure before them dying under the Yin Clan genius’s Soul Attack Secret Technique could be considered an honor.
