Chapter 410

"Peak stage of the innate realm?"

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

He had just broken through to the peak stage of the innate realm, yet he was able to conceal his aura perfectly. From this, it could be seen how high the Scarlet Flame King's cultivation level was.

"What kind of lousy place is this? I have only reached the peak stage of the innate realm."

The Scarlet Flame King was extremely dissatisfied.

If he was in the Yunzhao Nation's Demonless College, he might have already reached the peak stage of the innate realm.

Besides, it was already very impressive that he could reach the peak stage of the innate realm so quickly in a place like the Chu Nation.

Looking at Chen Yu, his cultivation progress was rather slow, but he wasn't in a hurry.

The new city was still considered stable, so he wasn't in a hurry to attack.

After all, if the strongholds along the entire defensive line couldn't keep up with Chen Yu's pace, he would be easily surrounded by the enemy from three sides. By then, even if Chen Yu was extremely capable, it would be hard to avoid accidents.

Therefore, Chen Yu used his spare time on cultivation in preparation for breaking through to the Origin Realm.

"That's right, kid. That sword has been refined to 05%. You can use that sword to assist in your cultivation."

The Scarlet Flame King glanced at Chen Yu and saw that his cultivation progress was extremely slow.

"Is that so?"

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and took out a pitch black bone sword from his storage bag.

Vice Commander Wei, on the other hand, often appeared in the surroundings and seemed to be monitoring Chen Yu, but Chen Yu didn't take it to heart.

"You can try."

The Scarlet Flame King gave a look of 'believe it or not'.

Chen Yu didn't say much and used his demonic dao qi to communicate with the bone sword.

The instant the Devil Qi entered it, the bone sword trembled. The Devil Qi within the bone sword seemed to be affected by something strange, becoming different.

When the demonic qi returned to Chen Yu's body, a profound demonic dao understanding appeared in his mind.

"If I use it well, the cultivation speed will indeed be twice the result with half the effort."

Joy appeared on Chen Yu's face.

This sword had a spirit. Even if no one was controlling it, it could still explode with immense power.

And Chen Yu could use this sword to slightly understand the profound power. At the same time, he could use this sword to refine the demonic qi.

…

Dozens of miles away from the city where Chen Yu was located, the enemy tribe had already built another stronghold in a place that was easy to defend and hard to attack. They had also mobilized a large number of people.

Wu Hai was the commander of this stronghold. Compared to the other warriors, he was shorter. His eyes were sunken, but they were full of spirit.

The upper echelons of the settlement gathered together in a simple tent.

"I never thought that the Rock Leader would actually fail."

Wu Hai sighed.

First of all, the Nine Great Tribes had very few defeats. Moreover, the team led by the Cliff Chief was even more elite. Their strength far surpassed that of Thousand Mountain City, but they still lost, and it was a crushing defeat.

"Even the Rock Chief has been killed. If the enemy were to attack, I'm afraid that this temporary stronghold of ours will not be able to block them."

On the right, an elder shook his head and sighed, worried for his own life.

Although they didn't need to fight head-on with Chen Yu's team and could retreat immediately if the enemy attacked, it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes dimmed a little.

"Everyone, don't forget that Man Rong died in the hands of Chen Yu. The Barbarian Tu Tribe will definitely not let this matter rest."

A light flashed in Wu Hai's eyes.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, but they recovered a little.

Right at this moment, a heavy voice rang out in the tent, "That's right. The Barbarian Tu Tribe will not let this matter rest."

In the next moment, a tanned muscular man appeared in the tent without any warning.

The atmosphere froze, and everyone felt a great pressure bearing down on them. Every single movement became extremely difficult.

"Senior Man Ta!"

Wu Hai's voice trembled. His tone was filled with excitement.

He knew this person. He was an Origin Realm expert of the Barbarian Tu Tribe.

As expected, the Barbarian Tu Tribe wouldn't let this matter rest. They actually sent out an Origin Realm expert.

"Tell me everything you know about the enemy."

Man Ta suddenly sat down and said calmly.

"Yes!"

Subsequently, one of the upper echelons told everything he knew.

After hearing it, Man Ta couldn't help but sneer.

The enemy's military strength wasn't considered strong. It could even be considered weak. Moreover, there weren't many high level combatants.

As for Chen Yu, he often went into seclusion and didn't care about the outside world.

If Man Ta was Chen Yu, he would definitely chase after the enemy after a single battle. He wouldn't give the enemy a chance to rest and expand the Chu Country's advantage.

From this, it could be seen that Chen Yu didn't have any ambitions or didn't know how to arrange troops for war.

"From now on, only the few of you know that I am here. If anyone leaks this matter, I will kill their entire family and make them wish they were dead."

Man Ta said in a low voice. His words emitted a dangerous aura that caused everyone to shiver.

"Yes."

The others nodded.

How would they dare to go against the will of an Origin Realm expert?

At the same time, they were curious. Why didn't Senior Man Ta want his whereabouts to be known?

… …

It had been three months since Chen Yu arrived at the new city.

The discussion about Chen Yu conquering the city had already been covered by the news of other battlefields.

After all, the Chu Country's battlefield was huge and there were battles happening almost every day.

During this period of time, Chen Yu had been cultivating and didn't care about anything else.

On the other hand, Nangong Li, Mu Xueqing, and his other good friends would occasionally visit Chen Yu to ask for advice or to chat.

In addition, they also knew about Chen Yu becoming an elder of Yunyue Gate.

On the battlefield, when they saw Chen Yu, they had to call him commander. In private, Chen Yu was still their elder.

Chen Yu wasn't stingy. Not only did he give them pointers on their cultivation problems, he also gave them some precious cultivation resources.

On this day, Vice Commander Wei gathered a few of the upper echelons and looked for Chen Yu.

In the Conference Hall …

"Commander Chen, the enemy stronghold in front of us is weak. This is the best opportunity for us to attack. We cannot miss it!" Commander Wei said.

Chen Yu didn't manage anything after becoming the commander. These matters were all handled by Vice Commander Wei.

"Commander Chen shook the Chu Country in the battle back then. Now that he has recuperated for so long, it's time to attack."

Another upper echelon's eyes flickered with light as he said with a heroic tone.

They came to the battlefield to participate in the battle, naturally for the battle merit points.

Since Chen Yu could defeat the Rock Leader and occupy the territory, then he could naturally easily break through the next stronghold.

Last time, he didn't follow Chen Yu and missed out on the battle merit points. This made him extremely regretful.

"Commander Chen, we've been staying here and doing nothing. Isn't that a little too lacking in ambition?"

Vice Commander Wei chuckled.

Chen Yu became a commander after becoming famous in one battle, but he wasn't anxious at all. As if nothing had happened, he had been cultivating in seclusion and didn't pay attention to the situation on the battlefield at all. Now, everyone had already recuperated for three months.

This made Vice Commander Wei even more convinced that Chen Yu was colluding with the Snow Mountain Tribe.

Thus, he encouraged a group of upper echelons to invite Chen Yu out.

If Chen Yu continued to cultivate in seclusion, how would Vice Commander Wei collect evidence of Chen Yu colluding with the Snow Mountain Tribe?

"Since that's the case, let's attack."

Chen Yu thought for a moment and felt that this matter wouldn't have much of an impact.

"Alright!"

The other upper echelons were excited.

Vice Commander Wei narrowed his eyes. In the following period of time, he had to keep a close eye on Chen Yu. If he could obtain evidence, he would have made a great contribution.

One day later, Chen Yu led the army to attack.

Inside the enemy stronghold, the leader Wu Hai led the army to resist for a while before completely giving up and fleeing.

This battle was extremely smooth, and the casualties were the lowest since the start of the war.

"We've won a complete victory, how refreshing!"

"Hahaha, what Nine Great Tribes, so useless."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Everyone was temporarily stationed in the new stronghold, and they were still celebrating in the middle of the night.

Chen Yu was also in the formation, but he had a doubt in his heart.

This battle was really too smooth. Obviously, the enemy had already thought of a way to retreat. After a brief confrontation, they all retreated.

Logically speaking, when he captured the enemy's city, the enemy would definitely focus on this place. Even if they didn't take back the city, at least they would not continue to lose.

In a spacious tent, Vice Commander Wei's face was gloomy, and he was also extremely puzzled.

"This Chen Yu must have colluded with the Nine Great Tribes, otherwise how could we capture another stronghold so smoothly!" Vice Commander Wei squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

Unfortunately, he had been keeping a close eye on Chen Yu recently, but he didn't find any suspicious actions from Chen Yu.

At this moment.

Woo woo! Bang bang!

Suddenly, deafening sounds of horns and drums sounded around the stronghold.

The people who were celebrating were instantly stunned.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Someone shouted in shock, and suddenly the scene was in a panic, and exclamations and shouts could be heard continuously.

Chen Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled, "Right, this is normal."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Inside the tent, figures rushed out one after another, their faces were filled with panic.

"We're doomed, we've fallen into the enemy's trap."

An old man looked a little anxious.

Obviously, the enemy had deliberately given up the stronghold, waiting for everyone to celebrate and let down their guard. When everyone was at their most relaxed, they suddenly attacked.

Rumble ~

The ground trembled slightly, and huge black shadows gathered from all directions. There were also some flying spiritual pets hovering in the sky.

Just from the sound, one could roughly guess the huge number of enemies.

"Oh no, we're surrounded."

Vice Commander Wei was greatly alarmed.

If the enemy only attacked head-on, they could still resist and slowly recover.

But now, they were surrounded by enemies. In such a situation, it was too difficult to recover their morale.

"Hahaha, do you really think that we, the Nine Great Tribes, are unprepared and will obediently give up our territory to you?"

Among the huge troops in front, Wu Hai laughed loudly.

"Hehe, today, we'll catch all of you in one net."

On the right, a yellow-haired man grinned hideously.

Vice Commander Wei recognized this person. He was an expert from another stronghold. It seemed that Wu Hai had secretly planned this a long time ago and sought help from other strongholds.

"Attack!"

Wu Hai gave the order.

Ga Ga ~

In the sky, a few ugly brown birds let out a few ear-piercing screeches and flew over.

When they reached the sky above the stronghold, they loosened their claws and red glass bottles fell down.

"This is the 'Corpse Dissolving Flame'!"

Vice Commander Wei's expression changed.

Once the glass bottle broke, the Corpse Dissolving Flame inside would instantly cover an area of several dozen feet. The flame's burning power was extremely strong, and it burned one's life force and blood. Anyone below the Qi Transformation Realm would be burned to nothing after coming in contact with it.
