Chapter 617: Chapter 0612: Enslavement

In the sky, Chen Yu and the fierce woman were fighting again, though it was just an act.

In secret, Chen Yu and the fierce woman were both communicating with a short elder.

“Elder Wu, are you sure about this?”

The fierce woman was somewhat skeptical.

Since Chen Yu was an inside man, why was he still helping the Sacred Land?

However, had Chen Yu not been an insider, the long-haired man would probably have been dead if Chen Yu had gone all out before.

On the other side, the short elder was also observing Chen Yu, unable to grasp his thinking.

“Given the current situation, it’s clear that the Sacred Land is indeed at a disadvantage,”

Chen Yu thought to himself.

Otherwise, why would the Sacred Land, known for its arrogance, be only defending and not attacking?

“You’re right, returning to the Blood Moon Organization is indeed the next step.”

After some thought, Chen Yu suddenly replied to the short elder.

Whether it was the Sacred Land or the Blood Moon Organization, they didn’t matter much to Chen Yu; all he wanted was to live a peaceful life.

The short elder was mildly pleased inside, though he didn’t quite trust Chen Yu and suspected that Chen Yu had already betrayed the Blood Moon Organization. Fortunately, Chen Yu gave a firm answer.

“But we need to wait.”

Chen Yu added.

“Wait for what?”

The short elder wondered internally.

“I want to take a few more people with me.”

This battle was bound to be extremely fierce, and it was uncertain how many people would perish, especially from the losing side.

Thus, Chen Yu planned to explore the ideas of his senior brother, junior sister, Ye Luofeng, and others, and if possible, take them along too.

Chen Yu’s intentions were good; he wanted them to survive.

As for their attitudes, that was their own business.

“Oh! I understand now. I hope you can take as many people as possible!”

The short elder’s eyes flashed with a glint.

It wouldn’t be long before the Blood Moon Organization defeated the Sacred Land; Chen Yu, as an insider, had few opportunities to establish his contributions. If at this time, he could lead a group to suddenly betray, or strike a blow to the Sacred Land, the Blood Moon Organization would surely reward him generously.

So that was Chen Yu’s plan, which was why he hadn’t come back earlier–he was quite greedy, thought the short elder.

Afterwards, the short elder informed the fierce woman of the situation.

Although the two were still fighting on the surface, they had already agreed that Chen Yu would pretend to lose to allow the fierce woman’s team to earn its merit.

Around them, several Holy Guards were watching the fight between Chen Yu and the fierce woman.

“I never expected Chen Yu to have the strength of a Law Enforcement Holy Guard!”

“Having heard that he became a Golden Emblem Holy Guard just a few months ago, compared to him, we really have no place to hide!”

One of the Golden Emblem Holy Guards had stayed in that position for fifteen years.

And yet Chen Yu, in just a few months, had surpassed the level of a Golden Emblem Holy Guard.

“It’s just good luck that he went to the Blood Star Realm and came back alive,” another Holy Guard, who was jealous of Chen Yu, muttered.

The fight between Chen Yu and the fierce woman continued for a while, with Chen Yu gradually falling into a disadvantage and on the verge of defeat.

The surrounding Holy Guards had no doubts or surprises about this.

In their view, it was already extraordinary that Chen Yu could compete with the Half-step Sky Sea; him injuring the fierce woman earlier was purely luck.

Next, as the Holy Guards retreated, they took up a strategy of interference.

In the fierce woman’s five-person team, the long-haired man was responsible for destroying the Array’s foundation.

After the fight lasted a long while another group of Holy Guards came to support, prompting the fierce woman and her people to immediately escape on vultures.

This battle lasted a day and a night before gradually easing.

The Holy Land Array was damaged to forty percent, shifting from offense to defense!

Next, the Blood Moon Organization also wasn’t in a hurry and slowly continued its pressure.

The next day, the Kunyun Array’s damage reached fifty percent.

Kunyun Sacred Land was enveloped in a tragic atmosphere, its dominance waning.

During Chen Yu’s rest, he sought out his second senior brother and started talking.

In the conversation, Yuan Chen also figured out Chen Yu’s intentions.

“I’m not sure about the plans for the future either.”

Yuan Chen was also hesitant and did not make his attitude clear.

“Senior brother, the truth is, both junior sister and I are insiders.”

Seeing Yuan Chen’s ambiguous attitude, Chen Yu decided to drop a bombshell.

He wasn’t worried about his senior brother snitching; having known each other for so many years, Chen Yu understood Yuan Chen quite well.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chen just chuckled: “Hehe, I’ve known about this for a long time.”

The innocent-minded Yu Bu Yu couldn’t keep secrets and had already told Yuan Chen.

However, now that Chen Yu had confessed, for some reason, Yuan Chen made up his mind and expressed his willingness to leave the Sacred Land.

Next, Chen Yu went to find his junior sister.

Yu Bu Yu gave a definitive reply immediately, which was within Chen Yu’s expectations since the Yu Family had already aligned with the Blood Moon Organization long ago.

The third person Chen Yu sought was Ye Luofeng.

“Wherever you go, I will follow.”

Ye Luofeng’s reply was simple, yet it made Chen Yu feel a profound sense of gravity.

The other party trusted Chen Yu immensely, entrusting their future path to him. He knew that some choices, once wrong, could lead to irreversible consequences.

Chen Yu only hoped that his choices were correct.

Afterward, Chen Yu gradually approached some old acquaintances to discuss matters, but the expressions during the conversation couldn’t be too explicit, as these were people Chen Yu couldn’t completely trust.

By evening, Chen Yu had finished his tasks.

Besides Yuan Chen, Ye Luofeng, and Yu Bu Yu, Chen Yu had also managed to sway another person–Duan Hao.

In fact, people like Yunhai Zhen, Yun Fei’er, and Ye Chengfeng also wanted to leave the Sacred Land, but their backgrounds and affiliations constrained their positions.

That night, Chen Yu went to visit an elderly elder with whom he had a good relationship.

“Chen Yu, why visit me so late? What’s the matter?”

The elder from the Yun Zhao royal family asked with a smile.

Previously, during resource allocation, he had received many benefits from Chen Yu, which made him quite fond of Chen Yu.

“Elder, with the fierce conflict between the two forces, it’s too dangerous now. I hope you could arrange for a few of my fellow disciples to be near me so I could look after them a bit.”

Chen Yu appeared earnest.

“So it is…”

The aged elder was somewhat hesitant.

There weren’t many Holy Guards in the Sacred Land to begin with, and reassigning them was rather troublesome.

However, in the end, he still agreed to Chen Yu’s request.

As for the elder himself, Chen Yu had never considered bringing him into the Blood Moon Organization, for although it would be a great achievement if successful, if the elder staunchly defended the Sacred Land, Chen Yu would be ruined.

After Chen Yu left,

the aged elder used his Identity Token to issue orders to the Law Enforcement Holy Guard, readjusting a few people’s positions.

After finishing all this, he began to rest and heal his injuries.

In the previous days’ battle, the elder had been the real main force, using the Array to fend off the massive army of the Blood Moon Organization. But he had suffered backlash from the Array, hurting his foundation.

“Elder, the guardians are requesting your presence.”

Suddenly, someone outside the cave spoke softly.

“Understood!”

The aged elder frowned slightly but still got up and left the cave to head to the guardian’s residence.

Just as he arrived outside the guardian’s palace, he heard a greeting, “Elder Yun, you’re here too?”

“What exactly does the guardian want with us?”

The aged elder looked towards a bald, burly man not far from him; this man was also a Sacred Land Elder.

“I’m not clear either, but we will know once we go inside.”

The bald man said.

As they entered the palace, the two noticed that there were quite a few people gathered.

There were two elders and four Law Enforcement Holy Guards.

This made the aged elder and the bald man slightly displeased; when discussing matters among elders, why were the Law Enforcement Holy Guards also involved?

At this moment, the guardians Lan Yue and You Hai walked out from the back.

“Greetings, guardians!”

Everyone quickly composed themselves and respectfully saluted.

“May we know why the guardians have summoned us here?”

An elder with white hair inquired, his gaze shifting to the Law Enforcement Holy Guards, indicating his doubts and discontent.

“There is a task that the Saint Master wants to entrust to all of you!”

Guardian Lan Yue spoke indifferently, her voice resonant.

“What is the task?”

The elders and Law Enforcement Holy Guards looked at each other, knowing they couldn’t refuse since it was delegated by the Saint Master.

“You are to sacrifice your lives for the Sacred Land!”

Guardian You Hai’s eyes, chilly and detached, suddenly shot a cold fierce glare as the corners of his mouth twisted into a slightly grotesque smile.

Boom!

Suddenly, patterns of the Array flashed on the pillars around the hall, interconnecting with each other, enveloping the four elders and four Law Enforcement Holy Guards inside.

“This… is not good!”

An elder’s expression stiffened as he quickly sensed something was amiss.

By then, however, the Array had already been activated, rooted in the six pillars, trapping everyone.

The two guardians flew up, palms striking out, controlling the Array.

Humming!

Above the Array, a blue vortex formed, violently swirling, creating a spiritual storm that ravaged with ferocity.

“Ah… it hurts!”

“Guardians… what are you doing?”

Inside the Array, several elders and Law Enforcement Holy Guards cried out in alarm.

“Lan Yue, I’ll control the Array, and you cast the ‘Slave Soul Seal’!”

Guardian You Hai ordered.

“Alright!” Lan Yue nodded and changed her spell.

In front of the Array, a potent spiritual power twisted intensely, eventually forming a water-light mark resembling the emblem of the Sacred Land.

Hum!

Guardian Lan Yue controlled the Slave Soul Seal, approaching one of the Law Enforcement Holy Guards.

This person was none other than Chen Yu’s senior brother, Sun Wuhai!

The Slave Soul Seal was a technique passed to her by the Master of Holy Land, and she was still not very proficient, so she started with the weakest.

Soon, the mark was branded into Sun Wuhai’s soul.

Following this, Guardian Lan Yue began to form the second Slave Soul Seal.

Shortly thereafter, all four Law Enforcement Holy Guards present were enslaved.

However, when Guardian Lan Yue began the enslavement of the elders, she encountered significant resistance!

“You think you can enslave… me, old man? We might as well perish together!”

The white-haired elder, eyes bulging and bellowing furiously, stared intently at Guardian You Hai.

“Old fool, you’re really quite stubborn!”

Guardian You Hai snorted coldly, his body suddenly emitting a dark blue glow that dispersed in all directions.

Next, his skin began to change color, turning dark blue with numerous light blue patterns.

His head changed the most, his eyes and hair turning blue, and two half-meter long, blue, transparent whiskers, resembling tentacles, appeared on either side of his mouth.

“You… you, foreign species!”

The white-haired elder trembled all over, greatly agitated, staring fixedly at Guardian You Hai.

“Hmph, foolish humans!”

Guardian You Hai snorted coldly, his face full of scorn and disdain.

After revealing his true form, Guardian You Hai’s control over the Array intensified. The blue vortex above expanded twofold and churned more rapidly, a soul-searing pain akin to blades slicing descended upon the many elders.

Seizing this opportunity, Guardian Lan Yue once again gathered the Slave Soul Seal, enslaving all four elders!

“It’s done.”

Guardian Lan Yue sighed in relief.

The Array within the great hall also gradually dissipated.

At this moment, eight more people walked out from behind the hall, four elders, and four Law Enforcement Holy Guards.

Joined by the eight here, a total of sixteen individuals came before Guardian Lan Yue and knelt on the ground.

“Tomorrow is the time for the counterattack; we’ll send the Blood Moon Organization a grand gift, hahaha!”

Guardian You Hai’s sinister laughter echoed through the hall.
