Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

1In the increasingly dense Yin Qi, a shadow floated and blended with the Yin mist, making it impossible to see its existence.     0

    

The wails shook the souls of the warriors, making them want to cover their ears.    

    

It was daytime now, but it was as if Chen Yu was walking in the darkness. More and more Shadow Devils surrounded him, like a black curtain covering the space around him. They were waiting for Chen Yu's Spiritual Dipper to run out before they swarmed forward, corroding Chen Yu's body, melting away Chen Yu's vital energy and blood, and turning him into a corpse on the ancient battlefield.    

    

There were too many Shadowfiends, so Chen Yu couldn't expel them. He could only allow them to do as they pleased.    

    

As more and more Yin Demon gathered, Chen Yu could clearly feel that the consumption rate of the Spiritual Dipper began to increase. With such consumption rate, Chen Yu clearly knew that he could only last three to five hours.    

    

Fortunately, Chen Yu was well-prepared, and there were a lot of Medicine Pill inside the Storage Bag. Adding the Medicine Pill that he had captured, he wasn't very worried.    

    

As he confidently walked forward, amidst the moaning and wailing of the devil, Chen Yu suddenly saw a flash of inspiration in the shadows in front of him.    

    

It was just a glance, but Chen Yu knew there must be other warriors in that direction, so he sped up and headed there.    

    

In the time it took for half a cup of tea to be brewed, Chen Yu heard a shout coming from the front.    

    

Closer, Chen Yu could see the different colored spiritual lights enveloping an area. The spiritual lights spread out into different shapes of phantoms, which were Spiritual Soul s.    

    

Inside the space shrouded by the Spiritual Soul phantoms, there were over 10 human figures, the demonic phantoms circled around the spirit lights, like a group of bloodthirsty sharks, they continuously pounced towards the Spiritual Soul, but could not break through the defense of the Spiritual Soul.    

    

Chen Yu strode over.    

    

"Who?" Chen Yu's protective Spiritual Dipper also had light on them. After they approached, the group of people were alerted and someone shouted loudly.    

    

"I am Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, greetings to all senior brothers and sisters!" Chen Yu did not stop his footsteps, he looked at the faces under the light, and saw that there were a total of twelve people, four of them were women, and the majority of them gave Chen Yu a sense of familiarity, he had seen a team before entering the ancient battlefield, but he did not know which mountain range they belonged to.    

    

A wave of surprised murmurs rose from the crowd.    

    

"So it's Junior Brother Chen Yu!" A clear voice rang out and said, "Is Junior Martial Brother alone?"    

    

Ten meters away, Chen Yu could already see all the faces in the crowd. He saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man who was thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, with a stocky body, a resolute and calm face, and not weak strength. He should be at the eighth level of the Spirit Accumulation Stage!    

    

"I'm alone!" Chen Yu stood seven to eight meters away from the crowd so that the crowd could see him clearly. He said, "I wonder which peak Senior Brother is from?"    

    

His eyes flashed as if he was considering something, and he said, "I'm Liang Zhen, the main peak. Most of us come from the main peak, and a few of our juniors come from Yunxiu Feng.    

    

"So it's Senior-apprentice Brother Liang. Senior-apprentice Brother Liang, you're too kind!" Chen Yu looked at the surrounding Shadow Devil, and said: "Are you going to go to Yin Demon Swamp? I wonder if little brother can go with you? "    

    

Liang Zhen said, "I, Rong Liang, will discuss it with my junior brothers and sisters!"    

    

Chen Yu nodded.    

    

Liang Zhen and the others started to talk in a low voice, accompanied by a few arguments. Finally, Liang Zhen said to Chen Yu: "Junior Brother Chen, we are all using Spiritual Soul for defense, you can join us if you want, but show your worth!"    

    

Chen Yu did not expect Liang Zhen to say that. After a slight pause, he waved his hand and the black Broken Sword flew out from his dantian towards the surrounding black shadow.    

    

Any Spiritual Soul could attack them. It was just that, if the Spiritual Soul stayed with them for a long time, it would also be injured by the Yin Demon's yin attribute, hence it was injured.    

    

The damage caused by the lowest level Shadowfiend was not large, but once it lasted for a period of time, the damage would increase.    

    

Chen Yu said, "Is it done?"    

    

Liang Zhen nodded, "Alright, welcome Junior Brother Chen to join us!"    

    

"Thank you!" Chen Yu recalled his black Broken Sword and walked towards it.    

    

Chen Yu obviously didn't want to join this team. He just wanted to find a team to go with him, so that he wouldn't get lost.    

    

In the gloomy environment of the ancient battlefield, losing one's way was a very normal thing. Although Chen Yu was sure that he was walking in the same direction, it was hard to avoid a deviation.    

    

Liang Zhen greeted Chen Yu and walked to the front of the line. While walking, he introduced the others to Chen Yu.    

    

In this group of twelve, other than Liang Zhen, there were three other warriors of the seventh level of Spirit Accumulation Stage. The remaining candidates were mostly at the fourth and fifth level of Spirit Accumulation. This kind of strength couldn't be considered outstanding among the teams that came to train in the ancient battlefield. This was also the reason why Liang Zhen was willing to accept Chen Yu. Chen Yu was the first in the competition, and he came here alone, so there was no doubt about the strength of the team.    

    

Of course, there were also people in the team who were not very friendly with Chen Yu. They were a little dissatisfied with Chen Yu joining the team, but since the others had already agreed, they couldn't oppose it anymore.    

    

As the group advanced, Chen Yu and Liang Zhen chatted about the ancient battlefield as they walked. Liang Zhen had been to the ancient battlefield a few times, and his understanding of the ancient battlefield was still above Wang Daoquan's. Through his narration, Chen Yu gained a better understanding of the ancient battlefield.    

    

As he was walking, Chen Yu suddenly stopped and looked at the ground in front of him.    

    

A few meters away, there was a corpse lying there. The corpse had shriveled up and had been corroded to an indistinguishable shape by the Baleful Yin Force.    

    

In the ancient battlefield, seeing corpses was a common sight. However, beside the corpses, there was a long sword that gave Chen Yu a familiar feeling.    

    

Liang Zhen also saw the corpse, he walked over and squatted down to examine it.    

    

Chen Yu grabbed the sword and looked at it. He immediately knew why he felt that this sword looked familiar, it was clearly an Spirit Sword, but the surface of the sword was already corroded by the Yin Qi.    

    

Liang Zhen also recognized the sword in Chen Yu's hand and said, "Could it be an inner disciple?"    

    

Chen Yu shook his head, he could not be completely sure of this point. Although Spirit Sword s were used by inner court disciples, it was still possible for common warriors to own them.    

    

"There's a corpse here too!" Suddenly, someone discovered something.    

    

Chen Yu and Liang Zhen looked at each other and walked over.    

    

There was nothing special left beside the second corpse. The corpse's face was still indecipherable and it was impossible to determine its identity.    

    

"Let's go to the front and take a look!" Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat. He leaped up and flew forward.    

    

Less than a hundred meters ahead, Chen Yu saw five corpses lying on the ground. They were the same as the first two corpses, their faces were all unrecognizable, no Storage Bag had fallen, and there were no identity tokens.    

    

Chen Yu's eyes were bloodshot and he looked at the ground repeatedly. His expression suddenly turned to one of suspicion.    

    

There were not many battle scars left on the ground, and the limited number of sword marks seemed to have all been left by the same person.    

    

After a careful inspection, Chen Yu found fatal injuries on the three corpses, but not on the other two.    

    

The cold wind of the ancient battlefield howled, the Yin Demon moaned, and together with the Yin Qi corroding the ground, making it hard to see their faces, the scene looked very eerie and eerie.    

    

Liang Zhen and the others arrived very quickly. When they saw the five corpses lying in disorder within a radius of a few meters, many people exclaimed.    

    

"Junior Brother Chen, did you find anything?" Liang Zhen said with a serious expression.    

    

Chen Yu said, "These people who died seemed to be caught off guard and died in a surprise attack!"    

    

"Hmm?" Liang Zhen said in disbelief, "How is that possible?"    

    

"That's the truth!" Chen Yu pointed to one of the corpses and said, "Look here, the fatal wound is at the back of the heart. A sword pierced through the body. Being injured in this position means that the culprit is standing right behind him. He won't even have the time to turn around! "    

    

Liang Zhen nodded, "Indeed!"    

    

"There's also the person next to him. His fatal wound is on the right side of his neck. After the killer pierced that person with his sword, he pulled out his sword and slashed horizontally with his sword!"    

    

Chen Yu was not as observant as Bloodfire Emperor in his memories, so Chen Yu's judgment was very clear.    

    

"Look at the others, they are not fatally injured!" Chen Yu said again.    

    

"Why is it like this?" Liang Zhen was confused.    

    

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "That's not clear. I only know that someone snuck into the team of the dead and suddenly killed them. The dead warriors didn't even have time to react!"    

    

"This is impossible!" Someone shouted, "Those who dare venture into this place are mostly inner disciples, and there are very few ordinary practitioners. "Even if you were to be ambushed by the team, it's impossible for you to react in time. Chen Yu, you're bluffing!"    

    

Chen Yu turned around and saw that the person who spoke was a woman of the seventh floor of the Spirit Accumulation Stage. She was around thirty years old and had a pretty face, but Chen Yu remembered that her name was Faang Suzhen and she was also a disciple of the main peak like Liang Zhen.    

    

Liang Zhen felt that Faang Suzhen's words were not without reason, he turned to look at Chen Yu and said: "Junior Brother Chen, if these dead people are Inner Disciples, they won't be able to react in time unless a Profound Dark Stage Ranker attacks them!"    

    

Chen Yu frowned and said, "Is there no other possibility?"    

    

Chen Yu did not think that it was a Profound Dark Stage Ranker making his move. If it was a Profound Dark Stage Ranker, these dead warriors would not even have the slightest bit of resistance. But in reality, there were traces of resistance on the ground. Furthermore, the first corpse he encountered was over a hundred meters away, meaning that it was killed after escaping for over a hundred meters.    

    

If a Profound Dark Stage practitioner were to take action, there would be no need to blend into this group at all!    

    

Faang Suzhen shook his head and said coldly: "If it wasn't for Profound Dark Stage, who could have easily killed a group of inner court disciples without them even having time to retaliate? Unless the dead people were not Ruling Spirit Sect disciples, but a group of ordinary practitioners! "    

    

"You said just now that ordinary martial artists wouldn't enter this part of the ancient battlefield!"    

    

"Nothing is absolute!" Faang Suzhen said coldly, "It doesn't matter if they are sect disciples or secular disciples, your judgement is full of mistakes!"    

    

Chen Yu glanced at Faang Suzhen and was a little speechless. He didn't know why this woman looked down on him so much.    

    

"Alright, Junior Sister Fang." "At least Junior Brother Chen should be right when he said that someone snuck into the team and attacked us!" Liang Zhen came out to smooth things over. "No matter how these people died, we have to be careful!"    

    

"Maybe these people were killed by Chen Yu!" Someone muttered in a low voice, "He just joined our team not long ago!"    

    

"Don't speak nonsense!" Liang Zhen scolded one of the warriors who was at the sixth level of the Spirit Accumulation Stage with a glare.    

    

That person became silent, but many other people stared at Chen Yu, with a different meaning in their eyes.
