Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

3Walking into the cave, Chen Yu saw the elderly, women and children who were placed in the cave.     0

    

This cave that could shelter the wind and rain naturally gave priority to the old and weak, and the other Chen Family practitioners lived outside the cave in the new, simple, and drafty awning that had been set up on all four sides.    

    

"Ah Yu!" Chen Yu's entrance attracted the attention of some of the women. They looked at Chen Yu.    

    

Even though the cave was quite spacious, it was still rather crowded after squeezing in over a hundred old, weak, and women. Everyone was in an orderly manner, but the tiredness and confusion on their faces could not be concealed.    

    

There were also a few elderly and weak people who had lost their loved ones who looked numb.    

    

Seeing these clansmen again, Chen Yu's heart tightened.    

    

"Brother Ah Yu, will you take us to defeat those bad guys from Su Family and bring us back to the fifth surname castle?" A seven or eight-year-old boy ran over when he saw Chen Yu. He raised his face and asked expectantly.    

    

"Yes, of course!" Chen Yu had the urge to cry, so he squatted down and stroked the boy's head.    

    

"Mother, mother, Brother Ah Yu said he can take us home!" After getting an affirmative and serious answer, he turned around and shouted at a middle-aged woman. Without waiting for an answer, he turned to Chen Yu and said, "Brother Ah Yu, I will work hard to practice martial arts. When I grow up, I will be as strong and mighty as you!"    

    

"You will. Brother believes that you can do it!" Chen Yu's eyes were moist. He stood up and walked through the crowd towards the entrance of the cave that was the innermost part. He did not dare to tarry any longer because he was afraid that tears would truly flow down his face!    

    

Chen Yuan and company, who were following behind Chen Yu, let out a low sigh.    

    

The rocks in the deepest part of the cave had already been cleared, revealing a passage that could accommodate two people walking side by side. The walls of the passage were smooth and flat, and one could tell at a glance that it was man-made, not natural.    

    

Chen Yu ignored the guilt and distracting thoughts in his heart. He reached out his arm to stroke the stone wall of the passage and asked, "After the passage was opened, did the blood-thirsty Demon Bat not fly out?"    

    

"At the end of the tunnel is a stone platform several meters wide. After we enter, as long as we don't walk down that stone platform, we won't be attacked by the vampiric bats. Moreover, those vampiric bats won't come out either!" Chen Wenyi said.    

    

Chen Yu couldn't help but reveal a pondering expression.    

    

Bloodfire Emperor had explored many secret realms when he was young and had obtained quite a few benefits from them. That Blood Flame Tyrant Spell was also obtained from an extremely dangerous secret realm.    

    

As long as secret realms were not naturally formed, there would be traces that were deliberately arranged by some experts. According to the different goals of those experts, secret realms also held different degrees of dangers.    

    

Seeing Chen Yu's thoughtful expression, Chen Yuan and the others felt that it was strange, but no one tried to disturb him.    

    

Ever since the battle with Su Jingping, Chen Yu's position in Chen Family had to some extent surpassed Patriarch Chen Wenfaang. Many Chen Clansman had taken Chen Yu as their hope for the future of Chen Family. Especially after the first stage of the Profound Heaven Spell spread throughout the Chen Clansman, Chen Yu's prestige had reached an unimaginable degree.    

    

"Big brother, where are the things I gave you before I left?" Chen Yu came back to his senses and asked Chen Yuan.    

    

"I'll get it for you!" Chen Yuan replied and walked towards an old man in his seventies in the cave. After whispering a few words with the old man, the old man took out a package from behind his back and handed it to Chen Yuan.    

    

Chen Yuan, who came back, handed the package to Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu took the bag and immediately felt the biting cold air.    

    

"The things here can deal with the bats inside?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.    

    

"I don't know!" Chen Yu said, "But we can give it a try!"    

    

According to Bloodfire Emperor's experience in exploring and training in many secret realms, Chen Yu felt that the underground cave under this path was not simple. Recalling the fact that the thousand year cold jade in his bag was also hidden in a big stone in this cave, Chen Yu felt that there might be a connection between the thousand year cold jade and the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat.    

    

Carrying his backpack, Chen Yu didn't think anymore and quickly walked into the tunnel.    

    

Chen Yuan, Chen Wenyi, and the others followed him.    

    

The tunnel was very long, and it had been more than ten minutes before Chen Yu arrived at the end.    

    

It was just as Chen Wenyi had said, at the end of the passage was a stone platform. Behind the stone platform was an open karst cave.    

    

Chen Yuan and the others lit up their torches. Under the light of the torches, Chen Yu looked at the top of the karst cave and saw countless black shadows covering the entire roof of the cave.    

    

Chen Yu jumped down from the stone platform and walked towards the opposite cliff. He saw two entrances to the tunnel.    

    

"Chen Yu, be careful!"    

    

Chen Weiyi reminded him. He held up a torch and told Chen Yuan and the others not to go down. Then, he jumped off the stone platform and followed closely behind Chen Yu, afraid that he would lose his chance.    

    

Chen Yu looked back at Chen Wenyi and asked, "Thirteenth Uncle, are you guys here?" Have the two holes in front of us gone in yet? "    

    

"No!" Chen Wenyi said, "This is an open space, but after we get a certain distance from the stone platform, we will be attacked by the Demon Bat and won't be able to reach that hole!"    

    

As soon as he finished his sentence, concentrated flapping of wings sounded out. The black dots on the dome fell down like rain towards Chen Yu and Cao Yi.    

    

"Ah Yu, Thirteenth Uncle!" Chen Yuan, Chen Lee, and the rest all turned pale with fright as they jumped off the stone platform one after another.    

    

Chen Yu pulled out his blade from the back of his hand and slashed out. The sharp blade light was like lightning, and wherever it went, dozens of Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat were chopped into pieces.    

    

However, more and more Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat came pouncing over.    

    

When Chen Yi heard this, he urged his zhen qi to move as fast as the wind, forcing the falling Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat to move a step further. However, in the next moment, his zhen qi instantly dispersed, and the dense and dense Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat once again tried to drown the two of them.    

    

The torch was extinguished immediately!    

    

"Ah Yu, quickly retreat to the stone platform. I can't hold on for long!" Chen Wenyi said hastily.    

    

Chen Yu threw out a few punches consecutively and burst out his zhen qi, smashing apart dozens of Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat.    

    

However, there were simply too many of these Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat.    

    

A few Demon Bat landed on Chen Yu's body, and Chen Yu felt as if they were pierced by a sharp tube. After that, the blood began to flow, and the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat that landed on him started to suck his blood.    

    

Furthermore, there was a faint numbing feeling at the place where the pain came from, which made Chen Yu to immediately realize that the teeth of these Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat had a faint toxin on them.    

    

This poison was not very strong. However, as the poison continued to accumulate, it would bring about fatal consequences.    

    

Chen Yu simply threw away the Wave Slaying Sabre in his hand and allowed the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat to attack him. He opened the bundle and took out the thousand-year cold jade inside, then undid the python skin that contained the cold jade.    

    

The cold air immediately spread out.    

    

"Pu pu pu", the blood-thirsty Demon Bat flapped its wings and instantly dispersed.    

    

Many bloodthirsty demons that couldn't be scattered suddenly fell to the ground with stiff bodies, forming a thick layer on the ground.    

    

Chen Yu slapped down the blood-thirsty Demon Bat that was hanging on his body one by one.    

    

"This is?" Chen Wenyi exclaimed, patting the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat on his body while looking at Chen Yu in surprise.    

    

"It really is useful!" Chen Yu grinned and looked towards Chen Yuan and the others who were rushing over. They were already trapped in the endless horde, but after the thousand-year-old cold jade was taken out, their Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat had already scattered and escaped to the roof of the cave.    

    

The swarm of bats, which had previously been attacking relentlessly, had now turned silent in a short period of time.    

    

"Ah Yu, what is this?" Chen Wenyi asked in surprise. He took a few steps back and stayed away from Wu Tie. The thousand-year cold jade had lost its python skin to seal the cold energy. The cold energy was so thick that he couldn't bear it anymore.    

    

"Lighten the torch, we need to explore the opposite side!" After Chen Yu said this, he placed the thousand-year cold jade on the ground and held it in his hand. Chen Yu couldn't bear the cold air and could only try his best to circulate the true energy in his body to block it.    

    

The torches lit up, and everyone gathered around, staring at the thousand-year-old cold jade on the ground in shock.    

    

Chen Yu pulled out the true weapon that came from Su Ze behind his back and asked everyone to move aside a bit before he swung his sword towards the cold jade.    

    

The thousand-year cold jade was split into two.    

    

"Thirteenth Uncle, did you find the corpses of the Ice Soul Cold Python and Black Scale Fox?" Chen Yu's second strike came chopping down again.    

    

"I found it, but its corpse has already rotted away, and the flesh and blood that contained a huge amount of Profound Qi has been wasted!" "Ah Yu, what are you going to do with this piece of cold jade?" Chen Wenyi asked.    

    

"Where is the boa skin? Did you collect it? Now, bring it all over! " Chen Yu said.    

    

"Some of the Ice Soul Cold Python's skin has already been made into leather armour. I'll go get it. Ah Yu, you guys stay here and be careful!"    

    

Chen Wenyi did not ask any further questions. He turned around and ran back the way he came from.    

    

Chen Yu continued to divide the piece of thousand-year-old cold jade. As he did so, he explained to Chen Yuan and the others the reason why he separated the cold jade.    

    

Previously, Chen Yu only guessed that this piece of cold jade, which was originally hidden in the stone, was related to dealing with these endless bloodthirsty Demon Bat. Now, after trying it out, he was sure that this piece of cold jade was the key to entering this underground karst cave. After splitting the cold jade, they could be used to open up a path to escape from the Demon Bat's attacks.    

    

"Big brother, you guys wait here for Thirteenth Uncle, I'll go ahead and scout!" After splitting the cold jade into 20 something small cold jade, Chen Yu handed the true weapon in his hand over to Chen Yuan and said while holding a cold jade in the python's leather bag.    

    

"I'll go with you!"    

    

"No need!" Chen Yu grabbed his Wave Slaying Blade and said, "I'll just check and then go back!"    

    

With that, Chen Yu walked towards the entrance of the tunnel with the cold jade in his hand.
