Chapter 539: Chapter 0534: “Six Flames Sword Finger

“Mr. He, with Chen Yu presenting such definitive evidence, what else needs to be investigated?”

The imposing man suddenly spoke up.

The chilly man and the pretty woman glanced sideways slightly.

Normally, without evidence, the Law Enforcement Holy Guards would favor whomever they wanted to; even with evidence, it was still the Law Enforcement Holy Guards who had the final say.

But, the prerequisite was that there was no opposition from other Law Enforcement Holy Guards.

The imposing man’s words let the other two know that he intended to help Chen Yu.

“No…”

Qian Guang and Shi Nan Yuan looked at the three Law Enforcement Holy Guards, their faces ashen.

They hadn’t expected that at the last moment, a Law Enforcement Holy Guard would stand on Chen Yu’s side.

With evidence present, as long as any Law Enforcement Holy Guard was willing to help Chen Yu, the matter would be considered settled.

“Brother Sun is right, the evidence is conclusive, Chen Yu is innocent.”

The chilly man agreed.

Then, with a cold shout, he looked at Qian Guang and Shi Nan Yuan: “Do the two of you admit your guilt?”

Feeling the gaze of the chilly man, a chill ran through their bodies, especially at this moment, when they were nearly in despair.

“We admit our guilt!”

The two of them no longer protested their innocence.

Chen Yu stood in his place, feeling somewhat emotional.

He had evidence and could not convict others, yet a single sentence from a Law Enforcement Holy Guard changed everything and decided the outcome.

He fully realized that in the Holy Land, strength and position were everything!

“But why did this person help me?”

Chen Yu stared at the slightly aged face of the imposing middle-aged man.

To become a Law Enforcement Holy Guard in the Holy Land, one’s cultivation must reach a Half-step Sky Sea!

A Half-step Sky Sea, placed in Beiyuan, would be a god-like existence.

And such a powerful being had actually helped Chen Yu.

“Now that the matter is resolved, I shall take my leave.”

The imposing man stood up to leave.

As he passed by Chen Yu, he spoke in a low voice, “Come with me.”

“This child is actually connected to Sun Wuhai,” the chilly man murmured to himself.

Chen Yu stood up and left the Law Enforcement Hall.

“Thank you, Law Enforcement Holy Guard, for adjudicating justly, clarifying the facts, and revealing the truth.”

Chen Yu gave a slight bow.

“Do you really think I acted out of justice?” the imposing man spoke in a stern and even tone.

Seeing that Chen Yu hadn’t guessed it, he added, “I am your senior brother.”

“You are Senior Brother Sun?”

Chen Yu’s eyes brightened.

Before leaving, the Master told the three of them that the senior brother of Kunyun Holy Land was named Sun Wuhai.

But the hierarchy of the Holy Land was strictly enforced, and as they were newly-arrived, bearing only Copper Badge Holy Guard insignias, it was impossible to inquire about the names of Law Enforcement Holy Guards.

“Mm, you’ve just arrived and already stirred up trouble. If I hadn’t helped you this time, you would likely have had a hard time in the future,” Sun Wuhai still maintained a grim expression.

“Although I’m your senior brother, don’t think you can do whatever you want in the Holy Land. My help today should not be taken as a sign that I will assist you with any trouble you cause in the future.”

As he said this, Sun Wuhai’s appearance held a hint of pride, his gaze toward Chen Yu casually dismissive, with an air of superiority.

“Go back and focus on your cultivation, don’t cause any more trouble.”

After saying this, Sun Wuhai leaped into the air and quickly departed.

Throughout this entire exchange, he hadn’t engaged in normal conversation with Chen Yu.

“This senior brother seems… rather aloof,” Chen Yu sighed helplessly.

But he could understand it.

Ascending to the Holy Land was itself a great honor, detached from the world.

The special system of the Holy Land fostered brutal competition; everyone was desperate to improve their strength by any means, fighting tooth and nail.

In such an environment, it was easy to become solely profit-driven, and people like Feng Tianhao and Jiang Boxiong were exactly that type.

And Sun Wuhai, who stood high above as a Law Enforcement Holy Guard, naturally looked down on Chen Yu.

“Perhaps this senior brother knew of our arrival to the Holy Land long ago; if I hadn’t run into trouble, I probably wouldn’t have met him.”

Chen Yu didn’t dwell on it further; he had not intended to rely on this senior brother to protect himself when coming to the Holy Land.

He hadn’t walked far when he saw a woman in white pacing back and forth.

“What was the outcome?”

Ye Luofeng suddenly looked at Chen Yu and asked.

“As I said, the truth would be cleared,” Chen Yu’s lips curled with a sense of pride.

In reality, if not for the senior brother’s assistance, the outcome would have been uncertain.

“That’s good.”

Ye Luofeng’s anxious expression relaxed, she let out a slight sigh of relief, appearing more at ease.

“So what is the actual truth of the matter?” she asked with a smile, looking quite beautiful and charming.

Ye Luofeng knew that Chen Yu was certainly not harmless, at least not the type to suffer a significant loss.

“Those two, indeed, they died because of me!”

In front of Ye Luofeng, Chen Yu earnestly admitted, “However, they deserved their deaths!”

The Copper Badge Holy Guard was killed by the Red Flame King, and Jiang Boxiong was sent to his death by Chen Yu’s manipulation, so both deaths were Chen Yu’s doing.

Side by side, the two walked leisurely down to the foot of the mountain.

Just then, the second layer of the Sky Tower dimmed, and Fu Sanguang emerged, laughing heartily, “Hahaha, I am indeed a genius, to have become a Silver Emblem Holy Guard so quickly. I am the strongest among them!”

As the first among those fifty-eight to become a Silver Emblem Holy Guard, Fu Sanguang was exceedingly proud.

However, the reality was different; most of the Holy Guards were out on missions, and even if they had the ability, they couldn’t challenge the tower.

And Chen Yu, who could even kill a Silver Emblem Holy Guard, naturally had no trouble becoming one.

After returning to his cave dwelling, Chen Yu began a long period of seclusion.

The Holy Land had a rule: after completing a mission, one could be exempt from missions for a year, so Chen Yu didn’t need to worry. He had nothing else to do, and this state of mind was very suitable for seclusion.

This year would be perfect for Chen Yu to consolidate his cultivation level, enhance his strength, and then aim for the rank of Silver Emblem Holy Guard.

Originally, Chen Yu had not planned on becoming a Silver Emblem Holy Guard in the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm, but he deeply realized the significance of high-ranking positions within the Holy Land.

If he were a Silver or even Golden Emblem Holy Guard, people like Qian Guang wouldn’t dare touch him. Even without the help of the eldest apprentice brother, Chen Yu would be safe.

Another point was that those who became Silver Emblem Holy Guards within three years would enjoy better treatment, which Chen Yu intended to vie for.

After entering the Holy Land, everyone realized their insignificance and sought to climb higher. Chen Yu was no exception.

“Hey, kid, I’ve run out of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals.”

When Chen Yu finished his seclusion and was resting for a while, Red Flame King spoke up.

“The purpose of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals is to cultivate the Fire Element Body and increase the chances of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm. Aren’t you the all-powerful Red Flame King? Do you need this too?”

Chen Yu teased the Red Flame King.

“The use of the Fire Element Body is not limited to increasing the chance to break through to the Sky Sea Realm; it also enhances the cultivation speed and strength of a Fire Dao Practitioner.”

The Red Flame King uncharacteristically refrained from boasting and slowly explained.

“However, these Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals aren’t cheap. In the Holy Land, one catty of it costs a hundred contribution points.”

Chen Yu said with emphasis.

“Of course, His Majesty wouldn’t take something from you for nothing. If you give me one hundred catties of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals, I will impart to you a Secret Technique for using the True Fire Spirit Flame!”

Red Flame King glanced at Chen Yu.

He had anticipated this point; Chen Yu would definitely not give away one hundred catties of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals for nothing, so he had already thought of a countermeasure.

“That’s more like it.”

Chen Yu didn’t continue to haggle.

Having so many Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals wasn’t very useful for him, although he could exchange them for contribution points; using them to enhance Red Flame King’s strength was likewise beneficial.

Besides, how could the Secret Technique provided by the Red Flame King be ordinary?

“Right, you previously assimilated eight catties. Just give me ninety-two catties.” Chen Yu took out ninety-two catties of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals from the Smoke-spitting Pearl.

Taking out so much in one go, he really felt somewhat reluctant.

“Stingy, the ‘Six Flames Sword Finger’ I am giving you is far more valuable than these ninety-two catties of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals. This time you’re getting a huge bargain.”

The Red Flame King snorted disdainfully.

The Blood Crystal Flame, being a Blood Dao Innate Spiritual Flame, had the characteristics of corrosion and burning flesh. There were few secret techniques applicable to this flame; after much consideration, the Red Flame King chose only the “Six Flames Sword Finger.”

Upon receiving the Secret Technique “Six Flames Sword Finger,” Chen Yu began to ponder it immediately.

An hour later, Chen Yu opened his eyes, his face glowing with joy.

The technique given to him by Red Flame King was very powerful and suited the Blood Crystal Flame, but it was very difficult to practice.

The entry-level section required practice in fire control skills and also finger strength training.

For ordinary people, just the entry level took a considerable amount of time.

Fortunately, Chen Yu practiced Body Cultivation, and for him, mastering finger strength training was easy. As for fire control skills, with the full control of the Flame Spirit, he met the standards.

In ten days, he achieved the entry-level section.

Next, he began to practice the first level: Yangming Sword Point!

However, he could not use the Secret Technique within his dwelling, so Chen Yu went to the “Relics Palace.”

In this palace, by spending contribution points, one could choose a relic to enter and gain insights.

After executing a mission once, Chen Yu had accumulated some contribution points.

After paying a hundred contribution points, Chen Yu received a Token and chose a relic of the Fiery Sun Venerable to gain insights.

The “Six Flames Sword Finger” was divided into three yang attribute sword fingers and three yin attribute sword fingers.

The first level Yangming Sword Point was a yang attribute sword finger, and it needed to be practiced in a place rich in yang energy; hence, he chose this relic.

Within the relic, there was an area devoid of grass, and at the very center of the plain was a hundred zhang wide and long scorched pit.

Stepping into the pit, Chen Yu felt the heat intensify. Before long, his clothing burst into flames on its own, prompting him to hurriedly channel True Yuan to form a True Essence Shield.

Sitting cross-legged, he began to control the Blood Crystal Flame and True Yuan, circulating them according to the mental method of the Secret Technique to practice the finger method.

An hour later, Chen Yu suddenly extended his right index finger and fiercely tapped.

Whoosh!

A blood-red Sword Qi shot forth, slammed into the rock wall, piercing it, and left a two-inch deep round hole.

The land inside the relic of the Fiery Sun Venerable was affected by the residual power of the Fiery Sun Venerable, and the rocks inside the deep pit were extremely hot and incredibly hard.

For Chen Yu to leave a smooth two-inch deep round hole at the beginning of his practice already demonstrated the power of this technique.

Ten days later!

“Yangming Sword Point!”

Chen Yu pointed out and a blood-red Sword Qi surged toward the rock wall, penetrating deep into it for a full ten inches.

“This single point could likely pierce through the True Essence Shield of someone in the Late Guiyuan Realm.”
