Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

As he entered the path, Chen Yu immediately noticed that there were countless bloodthirsty Demon Bat hanging on the ceiling of the path.    

    

Being alarmed by Chen Yu, these Demon Bat started to move and spread their wings as they pounced.    

    

Chen Yu opened the python's skin and held up the small piece of cold jade in his hand.    

    

Although the small piece of cold jade in his hand was only the size of a thumb, the cold air was not weak. On the contrary, after the entire piece of cold jade had been cut, the cold air spread even faster and more intensely.    

    

After the first few blood-thirsty Demon Bat charged into the area covered by the cold air, they were invaded by the cold air and fell straight to the ground with a layer of frost covering their bodies. The remaining blood-thirsty Demon Bat circled around Chen Yu and didn't dare to get close to Chen Yu.    

    

"The Ice Soul Cold Python, the thousand year cold jade, the underground cave, and the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat all seem to have been arranged on purpose. There are even some unknown secrets hidden within this Divine Meteorite Mountain Range!" Chen Yu started to move at a fast speed. With this thought in his mind, he was quite curious about the secrets hidden in this underground karst cave.    

    

If the Ice Soul Cold Python and the Bloodthirsty Demon Bat could be considered as the guardians of this underground karst cave, then the thousand-year-old cold jade could be considered as the key to enter this place.    

    

From this, it could be seen that the secrets hidden in this cave were extraordinary.    

    

In fact, to use a stage eight Demonic Beast like the Ice Soul Cold Python to guard the cave entrance was already a big deal!    

    

Soon, Chen Yu stopped again. This was because, beside him, there was a new entrance.    

    

Above his head, there were still numerous bloodthirsty Demon Bat. They could feel the cold air emitted by the cold jade in Chen Yu's hand and did not attack Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu thought for a moment and continued moving forward.    

    

After walking forward for a short distance, they arrived at a fork in the path from the left and right.    

    

Soon, there were more and more forks in the road. This underground cave was like a maze, all the way to unknown destinations.    

    

Chen Yu was afraid that he would lose his way, so he gave up on exploring and turned back the way he came.    

    

When he returned to the edge of the stone platform, Chen Wenyi had already returned. He was in the same situation as Chen Yuan and the rest as he used the Ice Soul Cold Python's skin to break it down into thumb-sized cold jade.    

    

"Ah Yu, how was it?"    

    

"It's very troublesome. It's like a maze, I wonder where it leads to!" Chen Yu said, "I'm afraid we won't have the time to investigate everything thoroughly!"    

    

Chen Wenyi's expression was heavy as he said, "The Su Family has already caught up to us. We will reach the valley in at most four hours!"    

    

Chen Yu revealed a contemplative expression and said, "In this underground cave, other than the Blood-Thirteenth Uncle, there should be no other dangers. Take your people to be the vanguard and open a path.    

    

"Alright!" Chen Wenyi nodded.    

    

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go find Sixth Uncle and the others and have everyone hide inside." Chen Yu said, "Leave a portion of the cold jade here. At that time, the team will need to bring along some cold jade at regular intervals to ensure that they will not be attacked by the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat!"    

    

The hundreds of people in Chen Family were too big of a group after all, and they had to ensure that the entire group wouldn't get attacked by the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat while they were walking through these corridors.    

    

After making all these arrangements, Chen Yu and Chen Yuan left the tunnel and returned to the cave.    

    

Walking out of the cave, Chen Yu arrived at the entrance to the valley and found the worried Chen Wenfaang, Wang Fong, Chen Wentine, and other higher ups of Chen Family.    

    

"Father!"    

    

Chen Wenfaang looked up and down at Chen Yu and nodded, "It's good that you're back! You must not be so rash next time. If you go alone, how can you fight against more than ten Heavenly Astral Stage experts? "    

    

After a few days of not seeing him, Chen Wenfaang's injuries had fully recovered. His aura was deep and restrained, and his cultivation had also improved.    

    

Chen Yu didn't argue and just chuckled, explaining the situation inside the cave clearly.    

    

After confirming that the small piece of cold jade could stop the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat from attacking Chen Clansman, Chen Wenfaang was overjoyed. He immediately arranged for his clansmen to pack up and retreat into the cave.    

    

"Su Jingyuan is an expert at the fourth level of Heavenly Astral Stage. No one in our Chen Family can contend against him. After all the clan members retreat into the underground karst cave, I will be the one to take care of the rear!" Chen Yu said after seeing Chen Wenfaang make all kinds of proper arrangements.    

    

"No way!" Chen Wenfaang said flatly, "Last time, you didn't even tell me and just left your brothers behind. You blocked and delayed the pursuers for so long, and you think I can't figure out how many dangers you took? "If it weren't for all of our people, I would have gone all out to get you back!"    

    

Even though Chen Wenfaang didn't personally witness what Chen Yu had done, he could guess what Chen Yu had done.    

    

"This time, there's no danger. I want to lure Su Jingyuan into the underground karst cave and have them be surrounded by the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat. With this thousand-year-old cold jade in my hand, I can go in and out as I please!" Chen Yu laughed coyly and said: "Besides, our Su Family still has six Heavenly Astral Stage experts. It doesn't matter how many of our people we leave behind, it's just adding casualties!"    

    

"Six?" Chen Wenfaang was stunned and said, "Isn't it eleven?"    

    

"I killed five!" Chen Yu looked at his father weakly and said with a little bit of guilt.    

    

Everyone looked at Chen Yu in shock.    

    

Kill five Heavenly Astral Stage experts? This was too unbelievable.    

    

Although Chen Yu had told Chen Yuan and the others about this matter, once they came back, Chen Yuan and the others went into the underground karst cave with Chen Yu.    

    

"You …" Chen Wenfaang was stunned for a moment before he stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yu's hand. A thread of true energy entered Chen Yu's body.    

    

After a long while, Chen Wenfaang strangely let go and said, "You're not hurt?"    

    

"I've been injured, but I've already recovered!" Chen Yu said.    

    

Even so, Chen Wenfaang, Chen Wentine and Wang Fong found it unbelievable.    

    

"A young hero has appeared!" Wang Fong said with a wry smile, "Brother Chen, we're all getting old!"    

    

"That's right!" Chen Wentine said with a wry smile, "If it wasn't for Ah Yu saying this himself, I wouldn't have believed him at all. Ah Yu, he would not lie about such a thing! "    

    

Chen Yu scratched his head, feeling a little guilty. He did not dare to tell his father that he was seriously injured and was on the verge of death!    

    

Staring at Chen Yu blankly, after a long while, Chen Wenfaang let out a sigh and said, "Yu, you have grown up and are stronger than me. I don't have the strength to protect you anymore, you can make your own decision in the future and I won't interfere with your future actions. However, you must never be arrogant or negligent. On the road of martial arts, you must always roll around on the edge of life and death. It's impossible for you to always have good luck. The most important thing is still your strength! "    

    

Chen Yu was silent for a moment and then nodded his head: "I understand!"    

    

"You're right, against a Heavenly Astral Stage expert, there's no point for the other clansmen to stay behind, so this time, I'll follow you!" Chen Wenfaang said: "I have been cultivating in seclusion for the past few days, and have faintly touched upon the threshold of the second level of Heavenly Astral Stage, and will not become your burden!"    

    

"Ah!" Chen Yu was surprised, not only because of Chen Wenfaang's training speed, but also because of his decision.    

    

"Brother Chen, I'll stay behind too!" Wang Fong said.    

    

"There's no need. Brother Wang Fong, you and the other brothers can just retreat into the karst cave together. I don't know where the karst cave leads to, but we need your help even more over there!" Chen Wenfaang said: "If your Chen Family can make it past this crisis, you can have everything that your Chen Family has!"    

    

"Big Bro, you're being too serious!" Wang Fong said, "You and I are best friends in life and death. You have saved my life more than once. I will live and die with you!"    

    

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang Fong. Although my dad and I are no match for Su Jingyuan, escaping is not a problem!" Chen Yu took off the longbow on his back and handed it to Chen Wenfaang.    

    

"This is?" Taking the heavy longbow from his hand, Chen Wenfaang pulled on the bowstring and a surprised look appeared on his face as the bowstring didn't move at all.    

    

Looking at the longbow, Chen Yu had a complicated expression on his face. If it wasn't for this bow, he wouldn't have been forced to fall off the cliff and escape.    

    

"Luring the phoenix?" Rubbing the cold and hard bow, Chen Wenfaang saw the inscription engraved on the bow. He suddenly raised his head and asked in shock, "A real weapon?"    

    

Chen Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "It's a pity that I didn't break through my Heavenly Astral Stage, otherwise, Su Jingyuan wouldn't dare to get close to the arrow that was shot by condensing astral energy into feathers!"    

    

Chen Wenfaang tried to pull the bowstring and as the Astral Energy in his palm floated, he could only half pull the bow with all his strength. The bowstring could not be pulled any further!    

    

The group of Chen Clansman and Wang Fong could not help but turn pale.    

    

"Ah Yu, where did you get this bow from?" Wang Fong asked.    

    

"I snatched it from the hands of an expert of the second level of Su Family!" Chen Yu said.    

    

Everyone stared at Chen Yu. They were afraid, but they also admired Chen Yu's courage.    

    

Everyone present had all fought and fought with Demonic Beast s within their Divine Meteorite Mountain Range. It wasn't much of a waste to think about how much of a threat the existence of this True Artifact Longbow would bring to their Chen Family. They also clearly knew how dangerous Chen Yu had been for this bow!    

    

Chen Yu didn't say anything and took the bow from Chen Wenfaang. Then, he took a deep breath and pulled it open.    

    

The bowstring, taut to the extreme, curved into a full moon.    

    

Everyone including Chen Wenfaang was deeply moved.
