Chapter 414 -0409: First Rise to Fame
“Chen Yu, we have both served Chu Country together, and we will often see each other in the future, so let’s not take things too seriously!”
Guardian Wei’s expression darkened and then he sneered.
He had never expected to find such a situation within the enemy city walls.
Otherwise, he definitely would not have made this wager with Chen Yu.
“Is Guardian Wei intending to go back on his word?”
Chen Yu’s smile remained.
This time, Chen Yu directly addressed him as Guardian Wei.
The others present looked at Commander Wei with contempt in their hearts.
Seeing Chen Yu speak in such a manner and referring to himself as Guardian Wei, he knew that Chen Yu was determined to make him lose face.
“I thought you too young to bear such a responsibility, but since you insist, I will report to the higher-ups to transfer the command to you.”
Commander Wei still maintained his image.
“Thank you for the trouble, Guardian Wei.”
Chen Yu smiled faintly and turned to enter the city. freēnovelkiss.com
The city, built by enemies, was now occupied by Chen Yu and would become a new stronghold.
Chen Yu found a quiet and magnificent hall in which to settle down.
The next day, he ordered the troops from Qianshan City to be assembled and began reconstructing the city.
As for Guardian Wei, he returned to the Chu Country main camp.
…
“What? You say you want to transfer the command to Chen Yu?”
Palace Master Fu looked down at Guardian Wei, nearly storming over to slap him several times.
He had sent Chen Yu to Qianshan City for Guardian Wei to trap and ideally kill Chen Yu.
Yet just a few days had passed, and Guardian Wei came back proposing to transfer his command to Chen Yu.
At this moment, Palace Master Fu even suspected whether Guardian Wei was an infiltrator from Yunyue Sect placed within the Bone Demon Palace.
“Palace Master, I had no choice…”
Then, Guardian Wei recounted the events in full detail.
Having accepted the wager in front of so many people, he could not go back on his word without losing face in Chu Country.
“Is this truly what happened?”
Palace Master Fu’s eyes showed doubt.
A perfectly good city—how could it be left empty?
“Palace Master, do you think that kid may have already thrown in his lot with the Snow Mountain Tribe, that this was all an act they put on together?”
Guardian Wei begrudgingly voiced a strange idea.
From start to finish, he had not seen Chen Yu’s real strength, nor had he witnessed him fighting with the enemy’s upper echelons—it was no wonder he had such suspicions.
“It’s not impossible.”
Palace Master Fu also found it strange.
The primary enemy in Qianshan City was the Mantu Tribe.
This tribe was among the top three of the Nine Great Tribes of Snow Mountain, comparable to Qi Country Lingjian Sect.
Therefore, he simply did not believe Chen Yu had any means to eliminate the enemy’s high-level figures without anyone noticing.
Palace Master Fu was actually more inclined to believe that Chen Yu was in collusion with the enemy.
“Let’s do this: let him be the commander, and you stay by his side to see what he does next. If he truly betrays Chu Country, we can execute him immediately.”
Palace Master Fu laid out his plan.
He did not know that Man Rong of the Mantu Tribe had been killed by Chen Yu.
Otherwise, he absolutely would not have allowed Guardian Wei to return.
“Understood.”
Guardian Wei nodded and left.
After Guardian Wei departed, Palace Master Fu reluctantly calculated Chen Yu’s battle merits.
“Rescuing twenty-three prisoners and capturing enemy territory!”
These two feats alone were very inspiring to announce, so the battle merits could not be meager.
In addition, capturing the territory involved only Chen Yu and an additional five hundred people, meaning that aside from Chen Yu, others would receive a significant amount of Battle Merit Points.
This significant event could not be concealed by Palace Master Fu.
That day, news of Chen Yu capturing a large city spread far and wide.
The Three Kingdoms had always been in a defensive situation, seldom launching attacks, and reports of capturing enemy territory were scarce.
Therefore, the moment this news spread, it caused a huge uproar.
“Have you heard? Chen Yu just got to Qianshan City, and he captured the enemy city that very night.”
“I heard that Qianshan City has always been at a disadvantage, only able to defend passively and never initiating attacks. With such a disparity in strength, how did Chen Yu achieve this?”
“I also heard that Chen Yu led only five hundred men to rout the enemy completely.”
Throughout Chu Country, everyone was talking about Chen Yu, the heroic figure.
In a certain city, upon hearing this news, Mei Changqing’s gaze suddenly became vacant.
He was fiercely fighting enemies on the battlefield, shining brightly and accumulating an impressive record of battle merits, unbeaten among the younger generation.
Yet, on Chen Yu’s very first day on the battlefield, his tally of battle merits was already close on his heels.
Probably in just a few days, he would be overtaken completely.
Three years of battle merits accumulated by Mei Changqing—Chen Yu could catch up in just a few days, leaving Mei Changqing feeling utterly devastated.
Meanwhile, in the Beiyuan’s Mantu Tribe, Chen Yu’s name also spread.
The Mantu Tribe was situated amidst majestic rivers and mountains.
Underwater, amidst the mountains, and in the sky, creatures roamed everywhere.
Suddenly.
“Rong’er is dead?”
A thunderous roar burst forth violently.
Birds and beasts between heaven and earth shook together, panicked and in disarray.
Only a few spirit pets with exceptionally strong auras looked towards an ancient and massive stone fortress in the heart of the land.
Inside the fortress, an old man with long hair and a beard that swept the floor trembled slightly, his face ghastly.
On both sides, numerous people held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Man Rong, the most beloved grandson of the Mantu Clan Chief, had exceptional talent as a Beast Tamer, far surpassing the other offspring of the Man Family.
“Who is it? Who killed him?”
The elder with long hair glared, his terrifying Guiyuan Realm pressure bursting forth.
His floor-length beard and long hair floated up, making him look less like a man and more like a long-haired ferocious beast.
“It was a man named Chen Yu!”
Below, a warrior lay prostrate on the ground, his body trembling nonstop.
After all, Man Rong had died within their guarded city; it was their failure to protect him.
“Where is Yan Chuan? Didn’t I instruct him to ensure Rong’er’s safety?”
The elder’s eyes flickered with a fierce light.
“Yan Leader is also dead, killed by Chen Yu.”
The man continued to answer.
“He’s dead too!”
The elder’s gaze flickered, and he calmed down slightly. His floating hair and beard also fell back down.
“I remember now, the Great Witch once said that among the Three Kingdoms, there’s a ‘Destiny Protagonist,’ who is also the ‘Great Evil Star’ of my Snow Mountain Tribe. This person is called Chen Yu.”
The elder’s gaze turned extremely gloomy.
His own grandson had run into the Destiny Protagonist of the Three Kingdoms; his luck was too terrible.
But the fact that the Destiny Protagonist could kill Man Rong and Yan Leader also showed he was no ordinary force.
“Destiny Protagonist?”
The others present all showed shocked expressions.
Previously, they hadn’t believed in this because, for the Nine Great Tribes of Snow Mountain, conquering the Three Kingdoms was only a matter of time.
But in such a situation, the Mantu Tribe had lost a city, and even the Clanchief’s grandson had been killed.
Could this be the start of the Destiny Protagonist affecting the fate of the Three Kingdoms?
Everyone was wary of the Destiny Protagonist.
It was precisely because of a Destiny Protagonist in the Snow Mountain Nine Great Tribes that they had been able to unite.
“Why not ask Meng Chixiong to deal with Chen Yu?”
An elder spoke up.
“Hmph, why should we boost his morale and diminish our own prestige? The mere Three Kingdoms cannot possibly have anyone who compares to Meng Chixiong.”
A tall, dark-skinned man with abundant hair scoffed coldly.
“According to them, this Chen Yu hasn’t reached the Guiyuan Realm yet. Clanchief, leave this matter to me!”
The dark-skinned man volunteered.
“Good, Man Tuo, I’ll leave this task to you. You must bring Chen Yu’s head back.”
The Mantu Clan Chief pondered for a moment before making a decision.
He, too, didn’t quite believe the talk of the Three Kingdoms’ Destiny Protagonist. Even if Chen Yu were indeed the Destiny Protagonist, he was a newly emerged one; having Meng Chixiong deal with him would be making a mountain out of a molehill.
Besides, Meng Chixiong had his own agenda, and whether he would agree to come was another matter.
Man Tuo, once a genius of the clan, had advanced to the Guiyuan Realm and was extremely powerful.
“Man Tuo, take this.”
The Mantu Clan Chief thought for a moment, then took out a black jar from his storage bag.
Upon opening the jar, a mass of dark red scorching mist floated out. On closer inspection, it contained a myriad of tiny, dark red dots.
“Are these ‘Poisonous Fire Bugs’?”
Man Tuo’s eyes shone brightly.
The Mantu Tribe’s Clan Chief was not only a Beast Tamer but also a powerful Insect Cultivator.
These Poisonous Fire Bugs, small in size with strong defensive power, would make one feel as though they were burning in fierce fire if they were bitten; the pain was unbearable.
With such a powerful method, Man Tuo was even confident in killing those in the Guiyuan Realm.
After giving some additional instructions, the meeting concluded.
In the stone castle, only the Clanchief and another ancient-looking old woman were left.
The two moved their feet, walking through a gloomy passageway.
After traveling a distance, they arrived at an underground cavern.
The sight before them was a molten lava flow, with searing hot gases constantly rising, filling the entire cavern with a red-hot mist. Ordinary individuals at the Organ Refining Stage would likely be burnt to death on the spot if they were here.
Around the lava, there was a large Array, with a person sitting at each of the four corners.
“Have you arrived?”
One asked in greeting.
The Clan Chief and the old woman walked towards two of them, taking out some Fire Dao treasures and blood-red glazed beads.
s
These blood-colored beads were made using the qi and blood of the freshly deceased.
“The numbers are fewer than before.”
The old woman sighed.
“How much longer do we need before our ‘Holy Beast’ can recover?”
The Mantu Clan Chief inquired.
“It will be soon.”
An emaciated elder answered.
“Good, when that time comes, my Mantu Tribe will become the strongest tribe, and the war of Beiyuan can end.”
The Mantu Clan Chief’s eyes were deep, and his voice carried an extremely strong confidence.
…
Several days after Guardian Wei left, he returned to the city and relayed the decision from above to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was now the commander of this city, while he himself had become the Deputy Commander.
Chen Yu did not care one bit about this.
Having just taken a new city, there were many aspects that needed restructuring, so Chen Yu remained relatively free, focusing on cultivating in seclusion.
Although the cultivation efficiency in Chu Country compared to that of No Demon Academy was like heaven and earth, Chen Yu still could not neglect his cultivation.
He also needed to prepare for his attempt to break through to the Guiyuan Realm.
In the war of Beiyuan, what truly decided the outcome were warriors at the Guiyuan Realm Level.
Hence, Chen Yu became more diligent recently.
A month later, within the secret chamber and not far from the Red Flame King, a surge of scorching power erupted within its body but was quickly restrained.
“Innate Peak?”
Chen Yu opened his eyes.
Just having broken through to Innate Peak and then perfectly concealing his aura the next moment—this showed the original high level of the Red Flame King.
