How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 439 - 0434: An Ran Returns

Next to the Landing Tribe was the Mantu Tribe.

Rumors had it that this tribe, ranked among the top three of the Nine Great Tribes of Snow Mountain, was on par with the strongest Lingjian Sect of Qi Country.

Moreover, Chen Yu had once killed the grandson of the Mantu Clan Chief. If word got out that it was he who had struck the Landing Tribe, the Chief himself might take action, and a full-scale assault was even a possibility.

With the formidable foundation of the Landing Tribe alone, not to mention the even more powerful Mantu Tribe,

even someone with Chen Yu’s abilities would find it hard to survive.

"Retreat quickly."

Deputy Commander Wei immediately ordered.

The territory of the Mantu Tribe was vast, and after nearly two hours of looting, they couldn’t possibly have taken all the valuable goods.

Some had tasted the spoils and were very reluctant to leave, but they had no choice but to clench their teeth and depart.

At the same time, the captives of the Mantu Tribe also followed them in retreat.

After years of warfare and heavy losses on both sides, these prisoners were highly valuable.

Once they passed the loyalty test, they could be used by the Southern Three Kingdoms. If they failed, they would probably end up as cannon fodder, not to mention the alchemists among them who were also of great use to the Three Kingdoms.

Before long, Chen Yu led everyone away from the Landing Tribe.

Two hours later, a huge gray shadow appeared in the distance, as large as a small hill, exuding a pressure that seemed to suppress everything.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A giant elephant made its way forward, each step crossing several zhang, shaking the ground and causing dust to fly.

The pressure exerted by this giant elephant carried an ancient aura, intimidating everything within a few miles. All birds and beasts prostrated on the ground, shivering.

On the giant elephant’s back was a massive throne, upon which lay a middle-aged old man, whose cold and ferocious gaze stared into the distance.

Before long, the giant elephant reached the territory of the Landing Tribe.

Even now, the sky was still filled with thick gunpowder smoke, and there were many signs of the great battle all around.

"We’ve actually arrived late!"

The middle-aged old man suddenly sat up, somewhat surprised.

It was less than four hours from the time he received the message to now.

In just four hours, the Landing Tribe had been annihilated!

"Wasn’t the Landing Tribe’s Clan Protection Array able to withstand even those at the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm?"

The middle-aged old man’s expression was extremely grave.

It should be known that the Landing Tribe asking for help from the Mantu Tribe was a great opportunity.

If the Mantu Tribe saved the Landing Tribe, they could gain more benefits from the latter and even bargain to get the "Dragon Scale Blood Flame Pill" at a lower price.

Of course, the Clan Chief also gave him another command, which was to bring back Chen Yu’s head.

He had even temporarily entrusted his mount, the "Ancient Giant Elephant," to him.

But now, the Landing Tribe had been destroyed, and Chen Yu’s head was out of reach.

Around the Landing Tribe, some of the lucky survivors trembled uncontrollably under the giant elephant’s pressure, not daring to even let out a heavy breath.

The great battle was quite chaotic, and it was inevitable that some would slip through the net or desert during the fight.

After the battle, they returned to their tribe.

"Could this be the Barbarian Elephant?"

A Qi Transformation Realm powerhouse who had luckily survived, stared at the giant elephant, utterly shocked.

But he soon dismissed the idea.

The Barbarian Elephant was said to be as powerful as the true dragon, and this elephant before him was nowhere near the legendary Barbarian Elephant, which could shatter mountains and rivers with a single footstep.

"I heard the Mantu Tribe has an ’Ancient Giant Elephant,’ of immense strength and ferocity, and it is the mount of the Mantu Clan Chief."

Another person not far away spoke with reverence.

The Ancient Giant Elephant, although incomparable to the Barbarian Elephant, was also a powerful ancient beast.

However, it was clear that the elder on the back of the Ancient Giant Elephant was not the chief of the Mantu Tribe.

"Come out, all of you, and tell me about the battle!"

The middle-aged elder on the Ancient Giant Elephant said casually, yet his voice spread in all directions, echoing in the minds of nearby beings, prompting them to come out involuntarily.

"Greetings, Senior Liu!"

The Qi Transformation Realm survivor knelt on the ground.

The rest, upon reflection, guessed that this person must be Elder Liu Yuan of the Mantu Tribe, famed for having reached the Peak of the Early Guiyuan Realm, and he was also a beast tamer himself.

"Tell me, how did they break your Clan Protection Array?"

This greatly piqued Liu Yuan’s curiosity.

"Elder, that Chen Yu, I don’t know by what miraculous artifact, but he directly broke through our Clan Protection Array and invaded, then sabotaged the Array from the inside,"

the Qi Transformation Realm individual answered truthfully.

"So there is such a treasure."

Liu Yuan’s eyes sparkled with a greedy light.

Chen Yu had easily breached the Clan Protection Array, which not even those at the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm could break through in the short term.

The efficacy of this treasure was indeed heaven-defying.

Beiyuan was rife with warfare between the two sides, with countless Arrays. Possessing this treasure could give the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes an even greater advantage and might even hasten the end of the war.

Additionally, many Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and inheritance treasures were protected by magical prohibitions; if one had this treasure, many opportunities that were previously unattainable might be seized.

Liu Yuan had once stumbled into a forbidden area as a youth, where he discovered the remains of a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse. However, the site was guarded by prohibitions, and he could only leave with longing eyes.

Later, once his own power had increased, he revisited the site, but the treasures were long gone.

Liu Yuan then inquired about other matters, and from these people’s accounts, he roughly understood the extent of Chen Yu’s power.

In fact, Chen Yu’s ability to defeat Meng Chixiong meant that once he broke the Clan Protection Array, indeed, the Landing Tribe had no way to deal with Chen Yu.

"If the other Guiyuan Realm member of the Landing Tribe had been present, perhaps we could have held out until I arrived,"

Liu Yuan sighed, then refrained from meddling further.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Ancient Giant Elephant began to move, each step causing a resounding echo.

"The vendetta against the Lantublu Tribe will be avenged by me."

Elder Liu Yuan left behind those words and swiftly departed.

"With Senior Liu personally taking action, plus the mount of the Lantublu Tribe Chief, the ’Ancient Giant Elephant,’ Chen Yu, the criminal, will surely be put to death!"

...

On the way back, Chen Yu slightly altered his route.

Because, on the frontlines of the battle with the Nine Snow Mountain Tribes, there would surely be those sent to intercept any retreat.

Chen Yu’s guess was right.

When they had attacked the Lantublu Tribe, Guiyuan Realm warriors had been dispatched from the rear on the frontlines.

However, due to different paths taken, the two forces did not meet.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the sky, one red and one blue, two streaks of fading light swiftly passed by.

"Chen Yu, you dared attack my Lantublu Tribe, just wait for your death!"

A red-haired elder declared, his face full of rage.

This man was another Guiyuan Realm powerhouse of the Lantublu Tribe.

Beside him was a fair-skinned, plump old lady in blue clothes.

"Hehe, that youngster is quite interesting, daring to directly infiltrate the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes!"

The blue-clothed old lady chuckled lightly, her demeanor still charming despite her age, and her smile was particularly seductive.

But it was precisely because the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes had not expected anyone to do this that allowed Chen Yu to succeed.

It was unclear whether Chen Yu was foolish, succeeding by a fluke, or whether he had extraordinary courage and insight, making such an astonishing decision.

Just at that moment, a series of loud thunders came from afar, and a grey behemoth appeared in the two’s field of vision.

"Senior Liu!"

The blue-clothed old lady recognized the arrival and immediately called out.

Elder Liu Yuan was at the early peak of Guiyuan Realm, had aged significantly, and was highly experienced; calling him a senior was not inappropriate.

"Elder Liu, what happened?"

The red-haired elder eyed Elder Liu Yuan, his heart filled with a bad premonition.

"The Lantublu Tribe has been breached, and the kid has already retreated."

Elder Liu Yuan said calmly.

"What?"

The red-haired elder was stunned as if struck by thunder, veins bulging on his forehead and rage churning inside him.

The blue-clothed old lady was also secretly shocked; she had not expected Chen Yu to annihilate the Lantublu Tribe in such a short span of time.

At the same time, she realized that she and the red-haired elder might have just missed Chen Yu’s forces.

"However, with Senior Liu personally intervening, that kid won’t escape, he’s destined to die."

The blue-clothed old lady revealed a captivating smile.

"Let’s go, this time, we must not only kill that youngster but also give Chu Country a lesson."

Elder Liu’s mouth curved slightly, his expression turning cold.

Chen Yu’s breaching of the Lantublu Tribe necessitated harsh retribution to Chu Country; otherwise, it would only encourage Chu Country’s boldness.

"I will flay that youngster alive!"

The red-haired elder fumed uncontrollably, releasing a crimson aura that made the heavens and earth change color.

...

Chen Yu’s team and the Guiyuan Realm powerhouses returning to the Lantublu Tribe missed each other.

Additionally, they obtained a rich bounty from the Lantublu Tribe, securing many mounts and flying treasures.

The number of troops was not large, and they were in a rush to return, so they moved quickly and returned to the city in less than half a day.

Upon reaching the city, everyone felt relieved, followed by an outburst of joy.

"We actually overtook a tribe and returned successfully!"

"I wonder how many contribution points Chu Country will give us!"

"Hehe, even if there are no contribution points, our gains this time are already quite substantial; I have the confidence to break through to the Postnatal Middle Stage within a month."

Many people cheered and toasted.

"Commander Chen, you should head back to the Chu Country Sect camp quickly. We’ve severely humiliated the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes this time; they will definitely target you. It’s too dangerous to stay on the battlefield."

Deputy Commander Wei advised.

He wasn’t genuinely concerned for Chen Yu’s safety; in fact, he was planning to return as well.

By his judgment, the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes would retaliate furiously, launching a fierce attack here.

This territorial city was likely to become an extremely dangerous battlefield.

"Alright!"

Chen Yu nodded, also prepared to return to the main camp.

Indeed, things had escalated this time, and the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes would now see him as a thorn in their side.

Moreover, the conditions here were quite poor.

After advancing to the Guiyuan Realm, the requirement for higher concentrations of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi became more pressing.

Cultivating in such a place, Chen Yu felt even if he were to meditate for a year or two, he would struggle to make any significant progress.

"Kid, wait up a moment; let this king awaken the bloodline first. With that ’Dragon Scale Blood Flame Pill,’ this king has a greater chance of awakening a Holy Beast-level bloodline. Should this happen back at the Chu Country main camp, it would surely shake all the strong ones!"

The Red Flame King laughed.

A Holy Beast, something some people never get to witness in their lifetimes; the terror of its bloodline can shock the world, causing an unprecedented sensation.

If the Red Flame King were to awaken such a bloodline in the Chu Country main camp, he would likely grab the attention of all strong ones in Beiyuan.

"Good, then we’ll wait."

Chen Yu agreed and went back to his place.

The Red Flame King followed him into a secret chamber and took out a dozen precious materials to begin concocting a medicinal solution from his memory.
