Chapter 1067: Stealing the Business?
The Dragon Clan's formidable warriors did not let it go easily. Chen Yu had killed too many royal offspring, with the most being from the Black Dragon Clan and the Yellow Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan dispatched a large number of warriors, even venturing deep into human territory, but they found nothing.
Chen Yu seemed to have vanished into thin air, suddenly disappearing.
Furthermore, the actions of the Dragon Clan had attracted many strong human warriors, resulting in several skirmishes between the two sides.
One month later.
A figure suddenly emerged from the ground a mile away from the Dragon Clan's border.
"Now, it should be fine."
Chen Yu couldn't help but smile.
When he arrived at the border of the Dragon Clan's territory, the Dragon Clan thought he had fled to the humans.
But Chen Yu knew that even if he escaped the Dragon Clan's region, they would relentlessly pursue him. Once the Emperor of Xuanming Realm arrived, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Therefore, Chen Yu directly killed four royal offspring, enraging the Dragon Clan and making them lose rational judgment.
Meanwhile, he hid himself deep underground, right within the Dragon Clan's territory.
Fortunately, at that time, there were many humans who fled to the humans, with mixed signals hard to distinguish, and Chen Yu's triple high spatial profound meaning was an excellent concealment method.
Chen Yu left the underground, cautiously moving forward, preparing to return to the humans.
But he sensed from afar that there were numerous life forces ahead.
"Is the Dragon Clan at war with the humans? Or is the border being heavily guarded by the Dragon Clan?"
Chen Yu speculated in his heart, not making any rash moves.
After thinking it over, he decided to stay in the Dragon Clan's territory after all.
"They say the most dangerous place is, conversely, the safest place. The Dragon Clan wouldn't dream that I'm still on their turf."
Chen Yu utilized spatial profound meaning to conceal his form, moving within the Dragon Clan's territory.
He came to the Qianyuan Realm with the main mission of slaying the Dragon Clan.
The task specified at least fifty Condensed Star Realm deaths, ten at mid-stage, and five at late stage.
Once he completed this tally and stayed more than three years in the Qianyuan Realm, he could return to the main world.
"Within human territories, hunting the Dragon Clan isn't favorable unless there's a war between both sides."
"But if hiding within the Dragon Clan's domain, quietly hunting them down is much easier."
Chen Yu was already planning his next move.
Currently, he wasn't planning immediate action.
The commotion he stirred up in the Dragon Clan hadn't entirely settled down; jumping out now held certain risks.
Chen Yu searched in the Dragon Clan's territory for a long time, finding a place with few people and creating a simple cave mansion inside a low mountain.
Strength is the only assurance of safety.
Especially with what Chen Yu was about to do; it seemed relatively easy and simple, but danger would lead to a more untenable situation if encountered.
Chen Yu took out the herbs purchased from the Heavenly Martial Sect and quickly prepared a batch of "Golden Spirit Liquid."
Applying the liquid to his hands, he began cultivating the mental method of White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw.
Thankfully, Chen Yu mastered spatial profound meaning, able to seal the surroundings; otherwise, the astonishing aura generated during cultivation would alarm beings within thousands of feet, attracting the Dragon Clan.
A month later, one batch of Golden Spirit Liquid was consumed by Chen Yu.
Compared to the first use, the effect slightly weakened but still greatly enhanced the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw.
"Two batches of Golden Spirit Liquid's herbs remain."
Chen Yu sighed softly.
"This Four Symbols Divine Body indeed consumes resources. Just several batches of Golden Spirit Liquid make my heart ache."
"Future training is simply hard to believe."
"During this stay in the Qianyuan Realm, I must gather more resources."
Chen Yu checked the storage space of the Dragon Clan's royal offspring.
As expected of royal offspring, their storage space contained plenty of rare treasures, particularly the storage space of the Yellow Dragon Prince, filled with precious stones and metals.
Besides that, while slaying the royal offspring, Chen Yu had also collected valuable materials from them.
But this isn't enough; Chen Yu needs to focus more on gathering resources over the next three years.
After sorting through his spoils, Chen Yu took out gold attribute profound meaning crystals.
The White Tiger Holy Claw must be paired with the gold profound meaning to maximize its power.
Chen Yu completed a trade with the White Tiger Sacred Clan, obtaining over a hundred gold attribute profound meaning crystals, alleviating concerns in this area.
Buzz!
The gold attribute profound meaning crystal in Chen Yu's hand emitted dazzling gold light; countless golden rays encircled Chen Yu, carving numerous tiny marks into the rock face.
Post heart transformation, Chen Yu's comprehension speed of profound meaning doubled.
Within two days, the power of this gold attribute profound meaning crystal was entirely consumed, turning it into an ordinary crystal.
Chen Yu immediately took out the second gold attribute profound meaning crystal.
Half a month later, on a night.
Chen Yu's surroundings suddenly bloomed with even more brilliant gold light; countless golden light streaks swiftly moved, turning the entire cave mansion into a vast circular space.
Chen Yu's White Tiger Holy Claw became more solid, exuding even greater power and astonishing sharpness.
"Gold Profound Meaning, two-and-a-half realm."
Chen Yu was very satisfied with his cultivation result.
And he temporarily stopped the Four Symbols Divine Body cultivation.
At his current realm, advancing in the Four Symbols Divine Body is rather difficult.
Chen Yu couldn't solely rely on this Body Refining Technique.
The Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique must not be neglected; Emissary Heart Technique, Devil's Descent Six Heavens, Six Flames Sword Finger—these three secret skills have even more room to grow.
Half a year later.
Chen Yu walked out of the cave mansion for the first time.
He estimated that the impact of the previous incident had almost settled.
Leaving the place, Chen Yu soon encountered a descendant of the Dragon Clan and conducted Soul Search, grasping the general terrain of the Dragon Clan.
"Start with the weaker branches of the Dragon Clan."
Among the many branches of the Dragon Clan, the Yellow Dragon Clan, Black Dragon Clan, White Dragon Clan, Ying Dragon Clan were extremely powerful, while there were also smaller clans like the Jiao Long Clan, Qiu Long Clan, Chi Long Clan, Pan Long Clan, etc.
Five days later, Chen Yu arrived at the Jiao Long Clan's territory.
On that day, the Jiao Long Clan's Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince, and their guards, who had gone out seeking pleasure, were all brutally murdered.
Ten days later.
The Seventh Princess of the Qiu Long Clan was assassinated.
A month later.
Within the Chi Long Clan, a group of noble imperial family members attending a gathering was massacred!
This series of deaths drew significant attention from various Dragon Clans, prompting them to strengthen their defenses and strictly forbid imperial family members from going out.
There were many speculations regarding the perpetrator.
In reality, Chen Yu only targeted the high-ranking Dragon Clan because of their wealth.
To prevent the Dragon Clan from suspecting him, after committing the murder, Chen Yu used the [Blood Crystal Flame] to burn the corpses to a crisp, muddling the Dragon Clan's judgment.
After committing a few successive acts, Chen Yu temporarily stopped.
Three months later.
A major emergency meeting was convened by various Dragon Clans.
In a dark space, there was a cold pond surrounded by black cliffs.
In the cold pond, on the cliffs, and in mid-air, there were massive figures exuding an earth-shattering aura.
Some of these figures were avatars or projections, while others were true forms descending.
"I hope to unite the power of the major Dragon Clans to find the perpetrator!"
Declared the Emperor of the Qiu Long Clan.
"Is it necessary to mobilize such forces for a petty crook who only dares to assassinate in the shadows?"
The Emperor of the Ying Dragon Clan soared in the sky, wings overshadowing the heavens.
"I believe this matter must be resolved quickly. The previous incident of Chen Yu wreaking havoc in the hunting grounds already greatly damaged the Dragon Clan's reputation. If this continues, I'm afraid more tragedies will occur. Now all Dragon Clans should combine their forces to capture the perpetrator as swiftly as possible!"
The Emperor of the Chi Long Clan swam slowly in the pond, speaking in an icy tone.
"If every minor issue requires the combined forces of all Dragon Clans to resolve, then that indeed makes us seem quite incompetent."
The Emperor of the Yellow Dragon Clan, merely a projection, spoke with indifference.
Currently, only the nobles of the weaker Dragon Clans had perished; the Yellow Dragon Clan remained unaffected.
He even somewhat appreciated the perpetrator for weakening the other Dragon Clans, which would benefit the Yellow Dragon Clan's future unification of all Dragon Clans.
But at that moment.
In the core of the Yellow Dragon Clan, before a grand golden palace.
"Reporting, just moments ago, the Ninth Prince and Eighth Princess, along with the ten top experts protecting them, were all brutally murdered!"
A Dragon Clan guard kneeled on one knee.
"What?"
An icy roar erupted, and terrifying dragon might, accompanied by boundless golden light, pierced through the palace, overwhelming all directions!
The Dragon Clan guard was pressed to the ground, unable to move.
The team protecting the Ninth Prince and Eighth Princess was arranged by this Emperor, so the tragic deaths of the two imperial family members also fell under his responsibility.
At the same time.
In the Dragon Clan alliance, the projection of the Yellow Dragon Clan's Emperor suddenly changed tone: "Since the major Dragon Clans wish to unite, I support it!"
...
Apart from hunting down the Yellow Dragon Clan's Ninth Prince and several strong guards, Chen Yu quickly fled.
But soon, he heard news that the Yellow Dragon Clan's Ninth Prince and Eighth Princess had been brutally murdered.
"Huh? I killed the Ninth Prince, how did the Eighth Princess die?"
Upon receiving this news, Chen Yu was momentarily stunned.
He couldn't fathom the reason. The Eighth Princess's death might have another cause, but the Yellow Dragon Clan attributed her death to him.
Chen Yu didn't care about this.
"The Dragon Clans are uniting to capture me?"
Chen Yu sought more information.
Since that was the case, he decided to go into seclusion for a while and resume his cultivation, waiting for the incident to die down.
Half a year passed.
Chen Yu once again set out to take action.
Late at night, in the territory of the Black Dragon Clan, Chen Yu concealed himself in the void, silently sneaking in.
With a brief search, Chen Yu discovered a palace where numerous imperial family nobles were gathered together, reveling and tormenting captives.
"Tonight, you will be the first."
Chen Yu's figure darted towards the palace.
Boom!
He suddenly activated his astral form, and energy burst forth, crashing like a meteor into the grand hall.
With a single punch, several Sky Sea Realm Dragon Clan members perished beneath his fist.
Several Dragon Clan nobles in the back were utterly startled, and chaos erupted at the scene.
Chen Yu thunderously slaughtered his way forward, his gaze locking onto a Dragon Clan member at the peak of Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm!
"You, could you be…"
The Black Dragon at the mid-stage peak stared at Chen Yu, recalling the previous incidents where certain Dragon Clan nobles were brutally murdered, his face instantly turning pale.
"Indeed, I am…"
Chen Yu chuckled lightly, ready to let the other die with clarity.
But at that moment, a figure appeared behind the palace, shrouded in a hazy purple light.
Puff!
From the hazy purple light, a purple jade palm flew out, landing on the Black Dragon at the mid-stage peak, instantly crushing him, blood splattering everywhere.
"This is…"
Chen Yu was momentarily stunned, not expecting his target to be killed by someone else.
Is this business competition?
"Why is it you!"
From within the hazy purple light, a somewhat surprised female voice emerged.
The person clearly recognized Chen Yu.
