Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

The night was dark and Chen Yu was as fast as the wind. When he passed a grass patch, he waved his hand and released the Spirit Connecting Vine.    

    

The silent Spirit Connecting Vine finally flew out again, landing on the green grass and swimming like a snake.    

    

After a short while, all the grass within a radius of ten meters had dried up, and the glow accumulated by the Spirit Connecting Vine finally started to turn bright, no longer dim like before.    

    

Chen Yu urged his Star Soul and forced it to fly back. After being smashed by Gu Kun's rod, Chen Yu's shoulder blades became numb, but they had started to recover.    

    

An hour later, Chen Yu no longer felt pain in his bones. From this, he could be sure that the recovery time of his bones was longer than the recovery time of his flesh and blood.    

    

Recalling the battle with Gu Kun, Chen Yu had to admit that his strength was still lacking. If he were to face the combined attack of Chen Daolin and Feng Xuan, he was afraid that it would be a life-threatening situation.    

    

Gu Kun's strength may not be stronger than Bai Shangfei, but the copper rod used has a certain restraining effect on Chen Yu's sabresmanship.    

    

"It's time to avoid the limelight and focus on training!" Being chased and hunted again and again, Chen Yu felt somewhat aggrieved. However, it was true that he did not have the strength to compete with Feng Xuan and Chen Daolin.    

    

If it wasn't for Gongsun Hao's help, even if Chen Yu could escape, it wouldn't be easy.    

    

With a thought, Chen Yu changed his direction and turned northwest, no longer heading towards the Small Snow Peak.    

    

If Chen Yu went to the Little Snow Peak, he would inevitably be caught by Chen Daolin and the rest. It was a pity to give up on trying to snatch the Spiritual Soul from the Little Snow Peak, but it was better than being continuously hunted down.    

    

In the following five days, although he occasionally met some warriors, Chen Yu did not encounter any trouble and arrived at a mountain range.    

    

This mountain range was not big, but the terrain was quite complex. There were many martial artists hiding here, but they were able to maintain peace and harmony with each other.    

    

According to Luo Lieh's map, this mountain range was called Luo Gongshan and was not a place to hide the Spiritual Soul. However, it was relatively suitable for hiding.    

    

Chen Yu found a place where no one was around and built a thatched cottage with a fairly open field of vision. Then, he started to cultivate in this thatched cottage.    

    

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.    

    

In this half a month's time, the Medicine Pill in Chen Yu's Storage Bag started to shrink rapidly.    

    

For Chen Yu, who had cultivated the Blood Flame Tyrant Spell, to refine ordinary Tier 2 or 3 pills was as simple as eating and drinking.    

    

Fortunately, the harvest for half a month was not bad. Chen Yu's cultivation had already reached the peak of Heavenly Astral Stage Level 2, so his strength could be considered to be increasing rather quickly.    

    

On this day, Chen Yu, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the path in front of the cottage.    

    

The three warriors walked over with large strides. The one in the lead was a practitioner at the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, holding a long sword in his hand. On the other hand, the two warriors behind him had the strength of the fifth level of Heavenly Astral Stage.    

    

"Yo, cultivating?" The practitioner on the sixth floor of the Heavenly Astral Stage looked over the simple fence of the cottage, and after making eye contact with Chen Yu, he revealed a malicious smile and said.    

    

"What's the matter?" Chen Yu asked lightly.    

    

"You must have been at Luo Gongshan for half a month!" The practitioner at the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage said, "Do you know the rules that you should ask about?"    

    

"What rules?" Chen Yu frowned and asked.    

    

"You don't know? Luo Gongshan is our Jinguang City and Panloong City warriors' territory! " Hearing Chen Yu's words, the warrior did not seem surprised. He smiled and said: "Take out a wooden plate and a Upper Grade True Artifact. It will ensure your safety at Luo Gong Shan!"    

    

Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh, "This is for the protection fee?"    

    

"If you think so!" The warrior said.    

    

"What if we don't meet?" Since Chen Yu arrived at this place, he had not asked anyone for relevant information. He did not expect that there would be a warrior that would collect protection fees from a place like Luo Gongshan. However, he was not very surprised.    

    

Where there were people, there would be fights. Although there were no Spiritual Soul in Luo Gongshan's place, it did not mean that there were no martial forces.    

    

"No?" The warrior smiled and said: "If you don't want to hand it over, you better leave Luo Gongshan!"    

    

"What if he doesn't leave?" Chen Yu naturally understood the martial artist's intention of threatening, but he didn't mind.    

    

"Then never leave!" The martial artist still had a smile on his face, but there was a deeper meaning in his tone.    

    

Chen Yu smiled and said, "I don't have a wooden tag, but someone stole it away. I do have a real weapon, but aren't you afraid of getting scalded if you take it?"    

    

"It's just a real weapon. I, Xu Yan, am not afraid of getting burned!" The warrior said.    

    

"Alright then!" Chen Yu nodded and patted the Storage Bag. He took out a long sword from the Storage Bag and threw it out.    

    

Xu Yan's eyes lit up, and the two warriors behind him also revealed traces of greed.    

    

A Upper Grade True Artifact was not worth their greed and reluctance, but since Chen Yu was so straightforward in giving them a Upper Grade True Artifact, they determined that Chen Yu was rich. If he was not rich, he definitely would not have taken out a Upper Grade True Artifact so easily!    

    

Seeing the expressions of the three, Chen Yu, who was well aware of their human nature, couldn't help but sigh.    

    

If these three people took the real one and left, Chen Yu would go and retrieve the real one in two months. However, the performance of these three people obviously wouldn't let him do as he wished.    

    

Chen Yu did not want to get into trouble at the moment. After all, he was still avoiding the limelight, but he could do nothing about the greed of these three people.    

    

"I didn't make it clear just now. Each of us has a Upper Grade True Artifact. We have three people!" As expected, Xu Yan did not disappoint Chen Yu. He licked his lips and said excitedly.    

    

This was a test. Chen Yu knew that if he took out the three true weapons, Xu Yan would ask for more.    

    

"I have another spirit artifact!" Chen Yu patted the Storage Bag and Deng Zitong's long Spirit Weapon appeared. It emitted a scarlet red Spirit Swamp. He casually held the blade and walked out, asking, "Do you guys want it?"    

    

Xu Yan's eyes were full of greed. He subconsciously nodded and then became alert again. Chen Yu's reaction was a little abnormal.    

    

Xu Yan did not care too much about Chen Yu's second level of Heavenly Astral Stage. He said in a deep voice: "Hand over the spirit treasure and I can guarantee your safety in Luo Gong Shan. Otherwise, with your strength, it will be hard for you to survive until the end of the selection!"    

    

"I actually think that you guys won't live past the end of the selection, or perhaps, you won't live past today!" The moment he finished speaking, his body had already rushed out like the wind. His blade was like thunder as it slashed towards Xu Yan.    

    

"Merely at the second level of the Heavenly Astral Stage, you are courting death!" Xu Yan wasn't too surprised by Chen Yu's actions, he slashed out with his blade.    

    

The other two warriors attacked at the same time.    

    

Clang *    

    

As the two blades made contact, Xu Yan's long blade flew out of his hand. His expression was aghast and frightened as he hastily retreated. However, the scarlet red, flowing flames and the astral blade merged into one and swept past his body.    

    

The remnants of the scarlet flame blade's aura did not dissipate, enveloping the Sword Qi of the two warriors of the fifth level of Heavenly Astral Stage within as well. Then, two miserable cries sounded out one after another, before it was abruptly cut off.    

    

Chen Yu looked at the three charred corpses, shook his head, and took off the Storage Bag s from their bodies.    

    

However, the three Storage Bag s did not have much things. Other than dry food, water, and clothes, there were only a few True Artifacts of ordinary quality and a few Medicine Pill. They did not even have a wooden plate.    

    

Casually putting everything into one of his Storage Bag, Chen Yu put out the fire that was still burning on the ground and returned to the hut to continue cultivating. He didn't even bother to take care of the corpse.    

    

Jinguang City and Panloong City were both top ranked warriors in the seventy-two cities, but to the current Chen Yu, they posed no threat at all.    

    

After exchanging blows with the peak disciples of the branch sects, Chen Yu naturally no longer took ordinary practitioners of the seventh level of Heavenly Astral Stage to heart.    

    

The quality of the Medicine Pill on Xu Yan and the other two was not that high, but it was a good supplement for the Medicine Pill that Chen Yu was about to run out. Thus, Chen Yu cultivated quietly for another two days.    

    

Two days later, Chen Yu clearly felt that someone was spying on him. He turned around and saw a shadow flash in the forest beside the cottage.    

    

Chen Yu, who was too lazy to chase after him, continued to stay put.    

    

Another two days had passed, and Chen Yu who was cultivating astonishingly opened his eyes. He stood up, took out Wind Stabilization Blade s from the Storage Bag s, and walked out of the hut with large steps.    

    

Chen Yu didn't want to fight with anyone in the hut. If he did that, it would only lead to the complete destruction of the hut, and it would be troublesome for him to rebuild it.    

    

The rustling sound came from the forest ten meters away. Then, a dozen figures flashed and approached Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu looked into the distance and saw that there were also people moving, but they were looking over here.    

    

More than ten figures stopped one by one and stood in front of Chen Yu.    

    

A thin warrior with extremely long hands looked at Xu Yan and the other two charred corpses. The muscles on his face twitched as he said, "If I were you, I would kill myself to apologize, and I could even leave a intact corpse!"    

    

"I won't leave you with a complete corpse!" Chen Yu's expression was indifferent, his tone did not contain the slightest emotion.    

    

"Kill him!" When the thin martial artist heard this, his face darkened and he shouted, "Be careful of the spirit artifact in his hand!"    

    

As he said that, the thin martial artist cut down from the sky, a sword aura fell down, directly cutting down on Chen Yu's face.    

    

The other martial artists also took action. They had obviously discussed the strategy beforehand and feared the power of Chen Yu's Spirit Treasure, so they used this method of attacking through the air.    

    

He had to admit that this kind of attack was quite troublesome for Chen Yu.    

    

However, that was all. Chen Yu's body suddenly moved like the wind, and like a fish swimming through the intertwined astral blades, he passed through the astral net, leaving only an afterimage in the air as he went straight for a strong warrior.    

    

Towards the cultivation of the Wind Transformation Movement, Chen Yu had never dropped it. Until now, he had already cultivated the Wind Transformation Movement to the Seventh Cycle of the Soaring Sky.    

    

That elite warrior turned pale with fright. He hurriedly retreated and attacked with his sword at the same time.    

    

At this time, the other warriors who were standing next to the warrior made their moves. Their swords and sabers intertwined to form a net again.    

    

Chen Yu was not surprised by this at all. With a twist in the air, he gave up on killing the elite warrior and rushed towards a warrior at the fourth level of Heavenly Astral Stage on the right.    

    

The martial artist was caught off guard and thrusted out his sword.    

    

The Wind Stabilization Blade swept past, bringing up a fountain of blood that spurted high into the air.    

    

Without any hesitation, Chen Yu followed up with the Wind Transformation Movement and slashed at the next Warrior.
