Chapter 29

Inside the hall.

After a round of argument, Chen's Father and Chen's Mom left with a wave of their sleeves.

"God's wrath! This Chen Yu is too arrogant to respect his elders. He needs to be taught a lesson. "

"Not only did he reject such a perfect marriage, he even took the title and gold for himself. Does he want to leave the family and start his own sect?"

A few elders said sternly.

Chen Yu had killed the Flooding Lake Evils, took the half-treasure weapon, the bounty of the land, and ten thousand taels of gold for himself. This had already made them envious.

Now, Chen Yu had gone against the Patriarch and rejected the marriage. It was a good opportunity for them to fish in troubled waters. If they could defeat Chen Yu, they might even be able to get a share of the spoils.

"Patriarch, should we ask the 'Ancestor' to punish this kid according to the family rules?"

The white-bearded elder suddenly suggested.

Ancestor?

Everyone present had respectful expressions when they heard this word.

As a family that had a foothold in a region, the Chen family still had a hidden expert overseeing it. However, unless it was a matter of life and death, they wouldn't make a move.

"No, it's not time yet."

The Patriarch, Chen Tianwei, shook his head and said in a low voice, "Chen Yu hasn't done anything wrong yet, so we have no excuse to punish him. Plus, he is a disciple of the Sect and has just killed the Flooding Lake Evils. "

"Then what should we do about the marriage with Chu Fengyun?"

"We can only drag it out. Maybe he will change his mind. Plus, Chu Fengyun only promised to marry us, he didn't mention a date. "

… …

Back at the courtyard.

Chen Yu calmed himself down and thought back to the scene in the hall. He didn't regret his decision.

He had monopolized the title deed and the gold, but all of this was what he deserved.

Facing the Flooding Lake Evils, how many people in the upper echelons of the family would dare to fight?

In the past, when he was in the Sect, he was kept in the dark and didn't receive any substantial help.

But now, he had risked his life and fought for the fruits of his labor. How could he allow others to touch it?

As for the marriage, it was his freedom.

"Yu."

At this time, Chen's Father and Chen's Mom walked in.

"Father, Mother."

Chen Yu felt a little guilty. He had failed to live up to his parents' kindness.

He could see that his parents were more in favor of this marriage, especially his mother, Liu Ming.

However …

When he came back, his parents didn't try to persuade him to get married as he had expected.

"Yu, no matter what decision you make, we will support you …"

His father, Chen Tiande, comforted him.

Miss Chen said in a serious voice, "Yu, you must become an inner disciple."

Huh?

Chen Yu was a little stunned. Why did his mother suddenly have such expectations for him?

Only after asking did he find out that his mother, Liu Zheng, had actually argued with a few clan elders. The elders were certain that Chen Yu wouldn't be able to become an inner disciple, so their words were filled with disdain.

"Inner disciple, I must succeed!"

Chen Yu muttered.

In two months, the "Outer Disciple Competition" of Yunyue Gate would begin.

However.

Early Meridian Opening Realm was only qualified to enter.

According to Chen Yu's knowledge, those who could pass the competition and be chosen as inner disciples were basically at late Meridian Opening Realm and above.

To Chen Yu, two months was a relatively tight time.

In the wing room.

Chen Yu sat cross-legged and practiced the "Cloudfiend Heart Sutra" as usual.

He found that after the dangerous battle with the "Flooding Lake Three Evils", not only did his Cloudfiend Fist Xiaocheng improve, but the strength of his inner breath had also improved a little.

From then on.

His Cloudfiend Heart Sutra circulated more smoothly, and his progress was much faster.

Chen Yu guessed that after the battle, his state of mind was more in line with the true meaning of the "Cloudfiend Fist"?

"However."

Chen Yu frowned slightly, "With my talent, even if my progress is faster, it will take at least a year to break through to the middle Meridian Opening Realm."

In terms of inner breath cultivation, he didn't have the corresponding talent.

And it just so happened that after the Meridian Opening Realm, the level of inner breath corresponded to one's cultivation level.

Chen Yu fell into a short period of thought.

In the Sect, there were only a few geniuses with good talent. Most people didn't have top talent.

Then, what did these people with average talent rely on to improve their progress?

The answer was external resources.

To a certain extent, the importance of external resources was no less than talent.

For example.

Chen Yu's current "fiancée" Chu Wanyu was at the middle Meridian Opening Realm. If it was someone without a family background, with such talent, it was hard to say whether they could break through to the Meridian Opening Realm.

"Oh right."

Chen Yu took out a small porcelain bottle and carefully stared at the crystal clear pill inside.

This was the "hard work fee" that the mysterious girl "Ye Luofeng" gave to Chen Yu before she left.

At that time.

The beautiful girl called this pill a middle grade "Body Accumulation Pill". According to her, if Chen Yu's talent was not bad, with the help of this pill, it should not be a problem for him to break through to the middle Meridian Opening Realm.

A moment later.

Chen Yu was deep in thought as he carefully put away the middle grade "Body Accumulation Pill".

Right now, he didn't want to take this pill immediately.

First, Chen Yu didn't trust his Half Spiritual Body talent. "Ye Luofeng" had a high level of vision, and the talent she said was not bad. Perhaps to ordinary disciples in the Sect, it was already very rare talent.

Second, Chen Yu had just broken through to the Meridian Opening Realm, and he wanted to rely on his own efforts to build up his foundation.

So, he put this "Body Accumulation Pill" aside for the time being and decided to take it at a critical moment.

Then.

Chen Yu took out the semi-treasure "Windchant Sword" and casually waved it a few times in the room.

Huh!

Chen Yu found that when he waved the sword, it was abnormally light, and he could faintly hear the sound of the wind.

The speed at which he waved it was one to two times faster than ordinary weapons.

In order to verify this, he purposely got a short sword of similar weight and size, but it didn't feel as light.

"The sharpness is comparable to a treasure weapon, and it can slightly increase the speed of the sword. It seems that this is the true characteristic of the" Windchant Sword "."

Chen Yu clicked his tongue in wonder.

Of course, he didn't practice any sword arts, so he could give it a try when he returned.

Chen Yu suddenly thought that if he broke through to the Meridian Opening Realm, he could choose a mid-rank martial art for free.

…

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Chen Yu had been staying in the clan, cultivating his martial arts.

Among them, "Bronze Statue Skill" and "Cloud Steps" were both progressing at a steady pace.

In the field of body skills, Chen Yu's talent was indeed impeccable.

Only "Cloud Fiend Fist", especially in the mental cultivation, was progressing slightly slower than the other two.

On this day.

Chen Ying 'er said goodbye in advance, it was time for her to return to Shuiyue Sect.

When she left, Chen Ying 'er received a large amount of resources from the clan, but this girl seemed to be reluctant to forget about Chen Yu's semi-treasure weapon.

Chen Yu's deadline to return to the sect was coming soon.

This time, he went home and applied for a month's leave, more than half of it had passed.

A few days later.

Chen Yu stood up and said goodbye. Different from Chen Ying 'er, he didn't receive any help from the clan.

Deep in the Chen Clan, in a pavilion.

"Chen Yu left?"

The clan head, Chen Tianwei, looked at the white bearded clan elder in front of him.

This clan elder was the one who argued with Liu Ming of the Chen Clan a few days ago.

"He left, he didn't receive any resources."

The white bearded clan elder smiled.

"Yes. With his talent, it will be hard for him to fight his way to the top in this "outer sect competition". At that time, he will naturally change his mind. "

Chen Tianwei nodded.

Originally.

After Chen Yu advanced to the Meridian Opening Realm and established himself in the Sect, the clan had to at least give him some resources.

However, because of Chen Yu's rejection of the marriage, as well as the problem of taking the territory and gold for himself, the clan elders all agreed to not give him any resources.

"Heh, don't worry."

The white bearded clan elder had a face full of confidence. "I have never heard of a half-spirit body who could become an inner sect disciple without the support of the clan's resources. At least, there hasn't been one in the Chu Country in the past 75 years. "

… …

On the way back to the sect, Chen Yu still walked and used Cloud Treading Steps to hurry.

He practiced his movement technique as he hurried on his way, so his actual speed wasn't too fast.

Two days later.

Chen Yu's Cloud Treading Steps was improving steadily, and he wasn't far from the great success stage.

If he could break through to the great success stage, Chen Yu's movement technique would reach a whole new level, and there wouldn't be many in the Meridian Opening Realm who could compare to him.

At a certain moment, when Chen Yu passed by a canyon that he had to pass through.

Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!

Several figures suddenly leaped out from the nearby forest on both sides.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yu was on his guard, and he quickly saw six masked figures in black.

These six masked people had cold gazes, and they gave off a murderous aura that could chill one's heart.

A faint sense of crisis appeared in Chen Yu's heart.

"Kill —"

Without a word, the six figures flanked Chen Yu from both sides.

These people had inner aura surging on their bodies, and they held blades or swords in their hands. Some even shot out sharp hidden weapons that tore through the air.

"Two late Meridian Opening Realm, four mid Meridian Opening Realm …"

From the feeling of his inner aura, Chen Yu came to a conclusion, and his heart shuddered.

If it was just the number of experts, he wouldn't be so wary.

Chen Yu mainly cultivated Cloud Fiend Art, and after the battle with the Flooding Lake Three Evils, he was extremely sensitive to fiendish auras.

These people before him all had frightening fiendish auras, and their eyes were filled with killing intent. They were definitely battle-hardened.

Sou! Sou!

Before they even got close, one or two hidden weapons that weren't much weaker than the Double Fiend Blood Poison Dart closed in on Chen Yu from both sides.

"Give me your life."

One of the late Meridian Opening Realm used a black whip, and with a shocking howl, it went straight for Chen Yu's lower body.

Another late Meridian Opening Realm held a long spear that turned into a cold snake shadow, and like a cunning poisonous snake, it went straight for Chen Yu's vitals.

The remaining four mid Meridian Opening Realm didn't hesitate.

Facing such a formation, even the Flooding Lake Three Evils would have to retreat if they didn't have powerful moves like the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles and the mysterious purple flute.

"Retreat."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yu made a decision.

With his strength alone, facing the joint attack of so many seasoned experts, he was really at a disadvantage.

At the same time, his thoughts spun. Who was it that wanted to kill him?

Someone who could afford to do this should have a certain power behind them, and Chen Yu was a fifteen-year-old youth, and there was a limit to the number of people he could offend.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Chen Yu's mind.
