Chapter 415 -0410: Falling into a Trap

“Innate Peak already?”

Chen Yu opened his eyes and looked at the Red Flame King.

Having just broken through to the Innate Peak, his next moment perfectly concealed his aura, showing the high level of the Red Flame King’s original realm.

“What kind of damn place is this, and only now have I reached the Innate Peak,”

said the Red Flame King, quite dissatisfied.

Had he been in Yun Zhao Country’s No Demon Academy, he might have reached the Innate Peak much earlier.

Moreover, to have reached the Innate Peak so quickly in a place like Chu Country was also quite remarkable.

Looking at Chen Yu, whose training progress was slower, he was not in a hurry.

The new city was relatively stable, and he wasn’t rushing to attack.

After all, if the other strongholds along the defensive line couldn’t keep pace with Chen Yu’s steps, and only his position kept advancing, it would be easy for the enemy to surround him on three sides. Even someone as capable as Chen Yu couldn’t avoid unexpected incidents.

Thus, Chen Yu used this free time for training, preparing for the breakthrough to the Guiyuan Realm.

“By the way, lad, that sword is now 50% refined. You can use it to aid your training,”

suggested the Red Flame King after observing Chen Yu’s slow progress.

“Is that so?”

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before pulling a pitch-black bone sword from his storage bag.

Deputy Commander Wei often appeared nearby, seemingly keeping an eye on Chen Yu, but he did not take it to heart.

“You might as well try.”

The Red Flame King sounded indifferent.

Chen Yu said no more and channeled Demon True Qi into the bone sword.

As soon as the Demon Qi surged into it, the sword trembled, the Demon Qi inside it affected strangely, becoming altered.

When the stream of Demon Qi returned to Chen Yu, his mind was suddenly filled with deep Demon Dao insights.

“If used well, indeed the training speed is doubled.”

Chen Yu’s expression brightened.

This sword possessed a spirit and could unleash tremendous power even without someone controlling it.

And Chen Yu could slightly comprehend that profound and mysterious power through this sword while also refining the Demon Qi with its help.

…

Tens of miles away from the city where Chen Yu resided, the enemy tribe had already built a new stronghold on a well-defensive spot and gathered a large number of troops.

Wu Hai was the commander of this stronghold, noticeably shorter and with sunken eyes, but they were very expressive.

Inside a simple tent, the high-ranking officials gathered.

“It’s surprising that Yan Leader actually failed,”

Wu Hai sighed.

Firstly, the nine tribes had rarely experienced defeat. Moreover, the troops led by Yan Leader were elite, with strength far surpassing Qianshan City, yet they still faced a crushing defeat.

“Even Yan Leader was killed. If the enemy attacks, our hastily constructed stronghold might not be able to hold at all.”

To the right, an elder shook his head and sighed, worrying for their lives.

Although they didn’t need to fight Chen Yu’s forces head-on—they could retreat immediately if the enemy attacked—accidents might happen.

With these words, the atmosphere among those present dimmed.

“Don’t forget, Man Rong died at Chen Yu’s hands. The Mantu Tribe will definitely not let this go,”

Wu Hai’s eyes flashed.

The expressions of the others changed, and their faces regained some color.

Just then, a voice as heavy as a mountain suddenly resounded inside the tent: “Indeed, the Mantu Tribe will not let this go.”

The next moment, a dark-skinned robust man appeared in the tent without any warning.

The atmosphere tensed, everyone feeling a massive pressure, making every movement extremely difficult.

“Elder Man Tuo!”

Wu Hai’s voice trembled, filled with excitement.

He recognized this man, a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse from the Mantu Tribe.

As he expected, the Mantu Tribe would not let this go and had sent a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse.

“Tell me everything you know about the enemy.”

Man Tuo suddenly sat down and calmly spoke.

“Yes!”

The high-ranking official then narrated everything he knew.

After listening, Man Tuo scoffed.

The enemy city’s military force was not strong, even somewhat weak, and had few high-level fighters.

As for Chen Yu, he often secluded himself, uninvolved in external affairs.

If Man Tuo were Chen Yu, after gaining fame from one battle, he would have pursued the victory relentlessly, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe, expanding the advantage for Chu Country.

This showed that Chen Yu either lacked ambition or didn’t know how to deploy troops and conduct warfare.

“From now on, only you few know I’m here. If this information leaks, I’ll exterminate the informant’s family, making their lives worse than death,”

Man Tuo said softly, his words exuding a dangerous aura that sent shivers down the spine.

“Yes.”

The others nodded repeatedly.

They dared not defy the will of a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse.

At the same time, they were curious, as to why Elder Man Tuo did not want others to know his whereabouts?

…

Three months had passed since Chen Yu came to the new city.

The discussions about his conquests had been overshadowed by news from other battlefields.

After all, the battlefield of Chu Country was vast, with battles occurring nearly every day.

During this period, Chen Yu had been wholly focused on training, barely attending to anything else.

However, Nangong Li, Mu Xueqing, and other former sect mates occasionally visited him for guidance or casual chats.

Additionally, they also knew about Chen Yu becoming an elder of the Yunyue Sect.

Now on the battlefield, they needed to call him Commander in presence, but privately, Chen Yu remained their elder.

Chen Yu was not stingy at all; he not only provided guidance on their cultivation problems but also gave them some extremely precious cultivation resources.

One day, Deputy Commander Wei gathered several high-ranking officials and summoned Chen Yu.

Inside the council hall.

“Commander Chen, the enemy base ahead is weak. This is a great opportunity for us to attack and it should not be missed!” Commander Wei said.

Chen Yu had become a commander, yet he managed nothing; all these matters were handled by Deputy Commander Wei.

“Commander Chen’s battle in the past had shaken Chu Country, and having rested and gathered strength for so long, it’s time to launch an attack.”

Another high-ranking official’s eyes sparkled as he spoke spiritedly.

They had come to the battlefield to participate in the war because of the Battle Merit Points.

Since Chen Yu was able to defeat the Yan Leader and capture territories, he could naturally break through the next stronghold easily.

Last time, he did not follow Chen Yu and missed out on Battle Merit Points, which he deeply regretted.

“Commander Chen, it’s somewhat lackluster to just stay here and do nothing.”

Deputy Commander Wei chuckled lowly.

After the famous battle and becoming commander, Chen Yu was not hurried at all; he behaved as if nothing mattered, and had been in secluded cultivation all along, paying no attention to the battlefield situation, and everyone had already rested for three months.

This made Deputy Commander Wei even more convinced that Chen Yu had some collusion with the Snow Mountain Tribe.

Therefore, he incited a group of high-ranking officials to call Chen Yu out.

If Chen Yu kept to his seclusion, how could Deputy Commander Wei gather evidence of Chen Yu’s collusion with the Snow Mountain Tribe?

“Since that’s the case, let’s attack.”

Chen Yu thought about it and felt that this matter was not very impactful.

“Good!”

The rest of the high-ranking officials were invigorated.

Deputy Commander Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was determined to keep a close watch on Chen Yu during the upcoming period. If he could obtain any evidence, he would have achieved a great feat.

A day later, Chen Yu led the army to attack in full force.

Inside the enemy stronghold, the leader Wu Hai led his troops to resist briefly before completely giving up and retreating swiftly.

The battle was incredibly smooth, with the lowest casualties and losses since the start of the war.

“We won a total victory, truly thrilling!”

“Hahaha, what Nine Major Tribes, so weak.”

Everyone celebrated with great joy.

The group temporarily stationed at the new stronghold and continued celebrating late into the night.

Chen Yu was also among the ranks, but he harbored a doubt in his heart.

The battle had gone too smoothly, and it was clear that the enemy had already planned their retreat, engaging in a brief skirmish before retreating as a whole.

Logically, since he had seized an enemy city, the enemy should have paid close attention to this place; even if they didn’t recapture the city, they should at least ensure they didn’t continue to lose.

Inside a large tent, Deputy Commander Wei’s expression was dark, and he was equally puzzled.

“This Chen Yu must be in collusion with the Nine Major Tribes, otherwise how could we have so smoothly captured another stronghold!” Deputy Commander Wei gritted his teeth.

Regrettably, despite keeping an eye on Chen Yu recently, he had not discovered any suspicious activities from Chen Yu.

At that moment.

Woo-woo! Thump-thump!

Suddenly, a series of horn and drum sounds erupted around the stronghold, deafening.

The celebrating people were stunned in an instant.

“Enemy attack, we are under attack!”

Someone exclaimed in shock, and the scene immediately turned chaotic, with continuous cries and shouts.

Chen Yu’s eyes lit up instantly, and he smiled slightly, “Right, this is normal.”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

From inside the tent, figures rushed out, their expressions panicked.

“We are done for, we’ve fallen into the enemy’s trap.”

An elder looked anxious.

Clearly, the enemy had intentionally given up the stronghold, waiting for the group to celebrate and lower their guard at their most relaxed moment before suddenly attacking.

Rumble rumble~

The ground trembled slightly, and from all directions, massive dark figures converged, with some flying spirit pets circling in the sky as well.

Based purely on the sound, one could roughly guess the massive number of the enemy.

“This is bad, we’re surrounded.”

Deputy Commander Wei’s face turned to horror.

Had the enemy just launched a frontal attack, they would have still had the strength to resist and slowly regain composure.

But now, with enemies on all sides, it was too difficult to regain morale at this stage.

“Hahaha, did you really think we, the Nine Major Tribes, were unprepared and would just obediently hand over the territory to you?”

A massive troop in the front burst into laughter with Wu Hai’s voice.

“Hehe, today we will completely capture all of you.”

On the right side, a blond man sneered.

Deputy Commander Wei recognized this man as a strong warrior from another stronghold; it seemed Wu Hai had secretly planned this a long time ago and sought support from other city strongholds.

“Attack!”

Wu Hai gave the command.

Caw caw~

In the sky, several ugly brown birds screeched shrilly, swooping down.

As they reached the airspace above the stronghold, their claws released one by one, dropping red glass bottles.

“This is ‘Corpse Transformation Flame’!”

Deputy Commander Wei’s face changed dramatically.

Once those glass bottles broke, the Corpse Transformation Flame inside would cover a wide area instantly. The burning capability of this flame was extremely strong, particularly at burning the vitality of life. Anyone below the Qi Transformation Realm who got tainted with it would be burned to nothing in no time.
