Chapter 1117

"That person … looks so familiar!"

The guards at the entrance of the Vermillion Bird Sky Nest looked at a figure flying towards them. Knowing that the person's cultivation level was not ordinary, they felt that he looked familiar.

"It's … Chen Yu!"

A guard who was at the peak of the Empty Sea Realm exclaimed.

Chen Yu was the person who had caused chaos in the Vermillion Bird Sky Nest for three years.

In order to 'search and rescue' Chen Yu, these guards would sometimes go on search missions. Hence, they had a deep impression of Chen Yu.

"Impossible! Why is Chen Yu back? "

Another guard exclaimed.

Most of the Demon Race in the Vermillion Bird Sky Nest thought that even if Chen Yu wasn't dead, he was as good as dead.

However, Chen Yu actually appeared alive and well.

Chen Yu had the identity token of a Vermillion Bird Sky Nest disciple. They had no right to stop him but the first thing they did was to inform the higher-ups of Chen Yu's return.

Chen Yu swaggered into the Vermillion Bird Sky Nest. At this moment, many people in the Vermillion Bird Sky Nest were shocked.

"What? That kid returned to the Sky Nest alive? "

The Demigod red-haired old man was slightly stunned when he heard the news.

The Vermillion Bird Sky Nest had already given Celestial Sect a generous compensation. Hence, they hoped that Chen Yu would just die. Otherwise, they would have suffered a loss.

Yet, just two years after receiving the compensation, Chen Yu had reappeared.

Whoosh!

The red-haired elder left the cave.

He was the one in charge of this matter. Hence, he had no choice but to make a move.

Thinking that Zhu Lingyu seemed to be greatly affected by Chen Yu's matter, he told him about it.

On the other side, Zhu Cangyan received the news as well.

"Senior brother Zhu, Chen Yu is back."

After Shi Yao received the news, he went to look for Zhu Cangyan.

"What? Chen Yu is alive? "

Zhu Cangyan was shocked when he heard this.

In his heart, he had already regarded Chen Yu as a dead person.

He was partly responsible for Chen Yu's death. When the Celestial Sect found out about this, they were enraged and pushed the blame onto Zhu Cangyan.

If not for the fact that he had a demigod grandfather, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even so, Zhu Cangyan was sentenced to two years of solitary confinement and was only released recently.

Zhu Cangyan blamed everything on Chen Yu, and he didn't plan to kill him. In the end, Chen Yu caused such a big accident, causing him to be wronged.

"Brat, are you tired of living? How dare you trick me?"

Zhu Cangyan rebuked.

"Senior Brother Zhu, this is absolutely true."

Shi Yao smiled bitterly without end.

How would he dare to joke about such a thing?

…

After Chen Yu entered the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest, he attracted countless gazes wherever he went.

"Chen Yu? Is he really Chen Yu? How did he survive? "

Many Vermilion Bird Sky Nest disciples thought that Chen Yu was already dead.

"The Celestial Sect has my soul token. They shouldn't think that I'm dead right?"

Chen Yu was a little puzzled when he saw the expressions on everyone's faces.

He guessed that during the few years he was in seclusion in his pocket dimension, the outside world wasn't as peaceful.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rays of light flew over. Among them were deacons, elders, and disciples who heard the news.

After all, when the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest 'rescued' Chen Yu, almost 35% of the disciples had participated. They put in a lot of effort and didn't get any rewards. Everyone had a deep impression of Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu!"

A low voice could be heard as an elder descended.

It was Elder Wu from the Sect Affairs Hall. After Chen Yu's death, he was investigated.

At this moment, the arrival of this Emperor Lord Xuan Ming caused a commotion.

The moment Elder Wu descended, a strong spiritual consciousness gushed out from his body and rushed into Chen Yu's body to check.

Finally, he confirmed that this person was the real him and not someone in disguise.

"Chen Yu …"

Among the crowd, Zhu Lingyu rushed over.

In the pocket dimension, Chen Yu saved her life from the hands of the Young Master. But in the end, something happened to Chen Yu and she came back alive.

Zhu Lingyu was still brooding over this matter. Her personality changed drastically as she became less talkative and focused all her attention on cultivation.

"Mm, long time no see."

Chen Yu greeted Zhu Lingyu.

Although this woman gave Chen Yu a lot of trouble in the beginning, Zhu Lingyu did not have any enmity towards Chen Yu. Moreover, the two of them had gone through thick and thin together.

Zhu Lingyu's eyes were filled with excitement as she flew closer and closer. To Chen Yu's surprise, Zhu Lingyu hugged him.

"This … You're too passionate."

Chen Yu did not expect Zhu Lingyu to be so passionate.

But when he thought of this woman's straightforward and forthright nature, it was easy to understand.

The crowd was very surprised. With Zhu Lingyu's beauty, talent, and background, she was the pride of the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest and even the demon race. She had countless suitors.

But now, Zhu Lingyu had thrown herself into the arms of a human man.

When Zhu Lingyu heard Chen Yu's words, she also realized that it was not appropriate for her to hug a human man. But since she had seen Chen Yu naked before, it did not seem to be a big deal.

But she quickly released her arms and took a few steps back.

Zhu Lingyu realized that she was too emotional just now.

"Where have you been for the past five years?"

Zhu Lingyu asked.

"I …"

Chen Yu was about to answer when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Zhu Lingyu was obviously very worried about him. She thought that something big had happened to Chen Yu, or even that he had died.

If she knew that nothing had happened to him and that he had quietly cultivated in the pocket dimension for five years, it would be a huge blow to his confidence.

"Chen Yu!"

Zhu Cangyan who had just rushed over was also dumbfounded when he saw Chen Yu.

Wasn't this guy a little too lucky to be able to return alive?

Swoosh swoosh!

One after another, figures flew over and there were even a few elders among them.

When they saw Chen Yu, they were all extremely shocked.

"Chen Yu, come with me for the matter regarding the Heavenly Spirit Crane Clan!"

The red-faced elder of the Disciplinary Hall said with a solemn expression.

This was no small matter and had to be investigated thoroughly.

Thereafter, Chen Yu followed the Disciplinary Elder to the Central Hall.

Many elders were seated in the hall and the red-haired Demigod elder was seated at the top.

The atmosphere at the scene froze. All the elders were staring at Chen Yu, causing him to feel some pressure.

"Chen Yu, explain the situation of this mission from beginning to end," Chen Yu said.

The red-haired elder spoke.

He wasn't asking about Chen Yu's five years of disappearance but wanted Chen Yu to tell the story from beginning to end.

Regarding this, the other elders were deep in thought.

If Chen Yu was lying or hiding something, the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest would have an excuse.

Originally, Chen Yu's incident had been treated as a death.

In the end, Chen Yu reappeared alive. If he was allowed to return to the Celestial Sect alive, the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest would suffer a huge loss.

Back then, the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest searched for traces of Chen Yu for three years, expending a lot of manpower and resources. They also endured the anger and difficulties of the Celestial Sect and had to pay a huge compensation in the end.

Chen Yu also sensed that something was wrong and began to explain the situation.

He kept the situation of the Heavenly Void Sacred Fire.

The outcome of that battle was also fabricated by Chen Yu. He said that the mysterious mighty figure in the pocket dimension was invincible. After he escaped, he used the Star-Concealing Robe to conceal himself and the mighty figure disappeared.

"… In the end, I cultivated in that pocket dimension for five years. Occasionally, I found a weak spot in the space and returned to the main world."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Although it was quiet before, the expressions of the higher-ups were completely different.

"In other words, nothing happened in the past five years and you have been cultivating all this time?"

Zhu Lingyu, who was beside the red-haired elder, was stunned for a moment before speaking.

She originally thought that Chen Yu had encountered some kind of dangerous accident and that he would never return or die.

In the end, nothing happened to him and he just peacefully cultivated in seclusion for five years.

Her expression instantly turned unfriendly. Her worries over the past few years were unnecessary.

The rest of the people present all stared at Chen Yu. They all had the same thought, but they didn't say anything.

In the end, nothing happened to Chen Yu, but the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest was in chaos.

After knowing the truth, everyone in the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest was furious.

"Damn it, we all thought that this kid was dead. After compensating Celestial Sect with so many resources, this kid actually returned. Could this be a show that he put on with Celestial Sect?"

Although the possibility wasn't high, many elders still agreed verbally and continuously scolded Celestial Sect and Chen Yu for being cunning.

One of the elders who was more ferocious even suggested to kill Chen Yu. After all, the compensation was calculated based on the fact that Chen Yu was already dead.

However, this suggestion was rejected. After all, so many people saw that Chen Yu had returned. It was really difficult to settle this.

"Elders, this disciple has explained this matter clearly."

"In addition, I have come to the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest to cultivate for long enough. I intend to return to Celestial Sect today."

Chen Yu suddenly spoke.

The elders' expressions changed. Naturally, they wouldn't agree to it.

Just now, they had already reached an agreement that they couldn't just let Chen Yu go. Otherwise, they would be too angry.

At the very least, they had to negotiate with Celestial Sect and force them to cough up the compensation.

"Chen Yu, you came to our Vermilion Bird Sky Nest to cultivate. From what I know, you haven't chosen any secret techniques from the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest. If you don't get any results from this trip, when you return, your Master might even blame us for hiding our secrets."

"Why don't you stay in the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest for a period of time. If you see any battle techniques that you like, we will let you pick one."

Elder Wu smiled.

Using battle techniques to entice Chen Yu to stay was a good idea.

"During these few years in the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest, I feel that I have benefited a lot and improved a lot."

Chen Yu sensed the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest's plan and had no intention of staying.

But in reality, he had only borrowed the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest's cultivation resources. Out of the seven years he spent in the Demon Race's territory, five of them were spent in seclusion in the pocket dimension.

"Improved a lot?"

"Why don't we check how much you've improved in these few years?"

One of the elders suggested.

From their point of view, the treasures in the pocket dimension had been taken away by the powerful beings and there weren't any benefits left. Moreover, the cultivation resources in the pocket dimension couldn't compare to the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest.

Moreover, the cultivation resources that cultivators needed might not be available in the pocket dimension. Hence, Chen Yu's improvement should be very slow.

The rest of the elders nodded. This was a good idea.

They could check whether Chen Yu's cultivation progress was up to them.
