Chapter 552: Chapter 0547: Control by Foreign Clans

Chen Yu had to put forth all his effort to defeat Jiang Boxiong, the Silver Emblem Holy Guard, and he even activated the power of his Red Flood Dragon bloodline.

But now, killing Xie Yue, another Silver Emblem Holy Guard, was not very difficult for him.

On the other side, Yin Chengzhuang was roasted into a charred corpse by the Red Flame King.

“Chen Yu!”

Just then, the woman with blood-red hair let out a tragic scream.

She was sent flying backward, her robes torn apart, her right shoulder dyed red with blood from a wound, and her mental state was quite withered, clearly because of Zou Hongyu’s Pupil Skill.

“Hmph, you all cannot escape death.”

Zou Hongyu snorted coldly.

Although he knew that the rest had been killed by Chen Yu, he did not care about their lives.

In the end, he would blame Chen Yu and the Blood Moon Organization for these crimes. He wouldn’t be punished; instead, he would be rewarded.

“Surely, you’re too confident.”

Chen Yu retorted coldly.

He had the ability to kill a Silver Emblem Holy Guard, so facing a Golden Emblem Holy Guard, he naturally had the power to fight.

Besides, the Red Flame King was here too.

The woman with blood-red hair was seriously injured but still possessed the power to fight.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu charged forward rapidly, slashing his sword at Zou Hongyu.

Zou Hongyu glanced at Chen Yu indifferently and launched a palm strike like a bolt of thunder, slamming it into the black sword light.

Boom!

The two forces collided violently, ultimately dissipating into nothingness.

“I did not expect you to possess such strength.”

Zou Hongyu expressed some amazement.

Indeed, Chen Yu’s formidable combat strength was partly due to the Demon Flood Dragon Sword.

After all, not even those in the late Guiyuan Realm necessarily had a mid-grade top-tier Spiritual Artifact.

Boom!

To the side, the Red Flame King spewed out a rolling fireball.

Zou Hongyu circulated his True Yuan, striking with his palm, and collided with the fireball.

But the fireball suddenly split, turning into two streams of fire that attacked Zou Hongyu from both sides.

This startled Zou Hongyu, as the ancient beast’s control over fire was extremely proficient.

He shouted and flung out his arm, dispersing powerful True Essence Power from his body, which transformed into a blue mist, spreading out and quenching the flames.

Buzz Boom~

Just then, an overwhelming bloodline pressure erupted from Chen Yu.

As the Red Flood Dragon bloodline powered up, golden yellow scales appeared on Chen Yu’s body, his eyes turned fiery red, flames grew from his head, and a layer of fire clouds surrounded him.

Boom!

With a sword slash, a black-red sword light swept across, imposing and domineering.

With the activation of the Red Flood Dragon bloodline, Chen Yu’s strength and physicality surged, and his attacks carried fiery effects.

“You have such a powerful bloodline in your body.”

Zou Hongyu was taken aback. He swung his arm and struck out with a vast blue cloud shield with his palm, countering Chen Yu’s sword strike.

Boom!

The blue cloud and black-red flames intertwined wildly, and then burst out explosively.

“This youngster possesses a powerful bloodline, and with that divine weapon in hand, his combat power is almost at the level of a Golden Emblem Holy Guard.”

Zou Hongyu was secretly shocked.

“Now, do you still have the same confidence as before?”

Chen Yu asked.

Zou Hongyu glanced at the Red Flame King and the woman with blood-red hair. Their combined strength was definitely stronger than his.

“I admit, I underestimated you, but you will still inevitably face death.”

Zou Hongyu’s face showed no panic, standing calmly on the spot.

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; he did not expect Zou Hongyu to remain so composed at this time. Did the opponent have some kind of trump card?

Just at this moment, a cluster of fire clouds appeared in the distant sky. The firelight grew larger and rushed forward crazily, accompanied by a violent, scorching heat that seared everything.

Within the boundless fire clouds, there was a middle-aged woman with a commanding face, wearing a blue robe.

From her attire, Chen Yu knew that this woman was from the Kunyun Sacred Land, and her powerful aura was suffocating.

He had felt this kind of sensation before–from the three Law Enforcement Holy Guards at the Law Enforcement Hall!

“Law Enforcement Holy Guard!”

Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat. The woman gave him the impression of being a Law Enforcement Holy Guard, potentially even stronger.

The combat power of a Law Enforcement Holy Guard reached the Half-step Sky Sea Realm!

“Hahaha, among the several prefectures of Yun Zhao Country, a Law Enforcement Holy Guard patrols. When attacked, I sent out a distress signal.”

Zou Hongyu burst into laughter upon seeing the Law Enforcement Holy Guard appear.

The large-scale rebellion across the three major ancient countries had the Sacred Land fully mobilized.

Below the Law Enforcement Holy Guards were those tasked with executing missions, while the Law Enforcement Holy Guards were on their own, searching, patrolling, and so on.

But this was unknown to the ordinary Holy Guards, only the team leaders in charge of the missions were aware.

“So, you are indeed from the Blood Moon Organization.”

The blue-robed woman arriving saw the woman with blood-red hair and revealed a cold smile.

Her arrival made the atmosphere oppressively heavy. Inside the black metal cage, Yu Bu Yu, whose cultivation was not yet at the Guiyuan Realm, was trembling and curled up in fear.

“Law Enforcement Lord, these two are insiders, and my subordinates were all killed by this man in a surprise attack.”

Zou Hongyu immediately reported.

The other party, being a Law Enforcement Holy Guard, had the authority to punish Holy Guards; even if Chen Yu were killed here, the impact would not be significant.

“Oh? There are two insiders?”

The blue-robed woman was somewhat surprised, then displayed a cold and solemn expression, “Betraying the Sacred Land and slaughtering Holy Guards, according to Sacred Land laws, are crimes punishable by death without mercy!”

At that moment, the blue-robed woman declared the law, a murderous intent emerging as if she was ready to execute Chen Yu and Yu Bu Yu right there.

But suddenly…

“Heeheehee, that’s not for you to decide.”

A sinister and ethereal voice echoed between heaven and earth.

The voice was very pleasant to the hear, yet it sent shivers down one’s spine.

The pressure emanating from the woman in blue instantly disintegrated at this moment.

“Who’s there?”

The woman in blue showed a look of panic, her body tensed involuntarily as her gaze swept around.

There was actually another powerful being hidden here, and she had not noticed it at all!

Swoosh!

A streak of blood light suddenly shot up into the sky from afar.

The next moment, the sky was dyed blood-red.

There, amidst a roiling mist of blood-red light, stood a stunningly beautiful woman. A Blood Lotus Mark imprinted between her brows, she was dressed in a gorgeous Blood Lotus Skirt, her stern gaze lightly surveying everything below with an intimidating aura that held sway over all directions.

“Holy Daughter.”

The woman with blood-red hair said with a respectful tone.

“Tong Yuling.”

Chen Yu was slightly surprised; he hadn’t expected Tong Yuling to be nearby.

Moreover, it seemed that Tong Yuling had been hiding in the vicinity all along.

“Are you… the Blood Lotus Saintess?”

The woman in blue stared at the Blood Lotus Saintess, her pupils trembling uncontrollably as she stepped back.

There were legends of the Blood Lotus Saintess in Yun Zhao Country. At her peak, she was overwhelmingly powerful, and even the Sacred Land Elders held her in great fear.

And now, the Blood Lotus Saintess had joined the Blood Moon Organization!

“Are you the one who wants to kill my person?”

The Blood Lotus Saintess stared at the woman in blue, her expression cold, the icy murderous intent in her eyes seemingly able to pierce through the woman in blue’s body, causing her delicate frame to tremble.

The woman in blue screamed. Suddenly, firelight burst out around her, and behind her, a pair of fiery wings faintly materialized, enabling her speed to explode instantaneously, far surpassing her usual capabilities.

“Trying to escape?”

The Blood Lotus Saintess chuckled lightly, a sinister charm in her eyes as a cold sharpness emerged.

She waved her jade finger through the air, forming a blood-red lotus.

Boom!

She slapped her palm onto the blood lotus, which turned into a streak of bloody afterglow, instantly vanishing and imprinting onto the woman in blue’s body.

“Ah…”

The woman in blue let out a scream of agony. Her complexion slowly turned ghastly pale, her body withering away as if the blood inside her was being drained, flowing into the blood lotus.

In a few breaths’ time, the woman in blue became a desiccated corpse plummeting down.

The vibrant blood lotus transformed into a drop of crimson blood, quickly sweeping over and merging into the Blood Lotus Mark between the Blood Lotus Saintess’s eyebrows.

“This… this, Blood Lotus Saintess, spare my life…”

Upon seeing this scene, Zou Hongyu was terrified to the bone, his soul nearly scattering, and he immediately fell to his knees to beg for mercy.

Even a Law Enforcement Holy Guard as powerful as he was killed in a second by the Blood Lotus Saintess!

Boom!

The Blood Lotus Saintess cast him a fleeting glance, striking out with her palm.

A withered blood-red palm impression struck out, landing on Zou Hongyu.

Boom!

Blood exploded like a blossom of a blooming blood-red flower, Zou Hongyu’s body shredded into pieces, scattered on the ground.

Golden Emblem Holy Guard Zou Hongyu, and the Law Enforcement Holy Guard who had just arrived, none could withstand a single move from the Blood Lotus Saintess–all perished tragically!

From this moment on, the only ones left from the Sacred Land were Chen Yu and Yu Bu Yu.

“Thank you, Holy Daughter, for your rescue.”

The woman with blood-red hair bowed with a fist in palm.

At the same time, she was curious. Hadn’t the Blood Lotus Saintess said she was in seclusion and had let her handle this matter alone? Why had she secretly come over, seemingly hiding in the vicinity all along?

“Now that they’re dead, what do you plan to do next?”

The Blood Lotus Saintess looked towards Chen Yu.

“Return to the Sacred Land,” Chen Yu said.

Killing a Holy Guard was not an uncommon occurrence in the Sacred Land.

For example, in the Summoning Flame Realm, Qian Guang, Jiang Boxiong, Shi Nan Yuan and others had attempted to harm Chen Yu.

“Although there’s no evidence to prove it since they’re dead, and everyone else is dead except for you two, you’re still highly suspect.”

The Blood Lotus Saintess spoke again.

“That’s incorrect; there are two more people alive.”

Chen Yu said with a smile.

If only he and his junior sister survived, then they would be highly suspect, but Fu Sanguang and another Copper Badge Holy Guard were still alive, which made the situation different.

Chen Yu could go back and report first, shifting the suspicion onto Fu Sanguang.

Moreover, if Chen Yu left the Sacred Land, he could only go to the Blood Moon Organization.

Now that he was returning, despite the failure of his mission, he would lose the position of Hall Master.

At this time, with the two great powers contending, returning to the organization would mean becoming an enemy of the Sacred Land, and in the future, he might even face his fellow disciples and friends in a deadly conflict.

In that case, it would be better for him to stay in the Sacred Land.

The Blood Lotus Saintess could see that although Chen Yu had killed a Holy Guard and didn’t have any particular fondness for the Sacred Land, he felt similarly unenthusiastic, even somewhat repulsed, towards the Blood Moon Organization.

“Chen Yu, do you know? History is often written by the victors.”

The Blood Lotus Saintess transmitted her voice to him.

Chen Yu found it odd; why would the Blood Lotus Saintess suddenly transmit her voice to him?

“Two hundred years ago, the Blood Moon Sect was defeated by Kunyun Sacred Land, and thus it became a so-called cult organization and malevolent force in people’s mouths.”

“But in reality, the true malevolent force was that group from Kunyun Sacred Land!”

The Blood Lotus Saintess continued.

Chen Yu wasn’t surprised by this but neither did he completely believe it. He needed to see for himself and arrive at his own conclusions.

However, the next words from the Blood Lotus Saintess hit him like a bomb, causing his mind to whirl and his body to freeze.

“In fact, the current leaders of the Sacred Land are not human, but beings of another race!”
