Chapter 900: Bloodless Poison
"Chen Yu, you came back just at the right time!"
Shen Ji kept a certain distance from Chen Yu, his cold gaze assessing him.
Over these years, Shen Ji diligently cultivated, hoping one day to defeat Chen Yu.
Yet, when Chen Yu appeared before him again, Shen Ji discovered Chen Yu's cultivation was the same as his own.
This was quite a blow to him.
Back when Chen Yu left Black Demon Valley, his cultivation level was clearly higher than Chen Yu's.
In this sense, not only did Shen Ji fail to surpass Chen Yu, but to a certain extent, he was overtaken by Chen Yu.
"What happened in Black Demon Valley?"
Chen Yu could feel the atmosphere in Black Demon Valley was completely off; something must have happened.
"Hmph, Chen Yu, after disappearing for years, now you return to the sect, I must check whether you've been replaced." Shen Ji snorted coldly, without answering Chen Yu's question.
He never liked Chen Yu, and at this moment decided to use his personal power to make things difficult for Chen Yu.
Following Shen Ji's order, the disciples of Black Demon Valley behind him moved.
Chen Yu had been missing for too many years; Shen Ji, being the disciple of the Demon Valley Master, now wielded high influence in Black Demon Valley.
"Get lost."
Chen Yu shouted angrily.
Though he once had a conflict with Shen Ji, they were both Black Demon Valley disciples, and he didn't expect after all these years, Shen Ji's first encounter with him would lead to such difficulties.
With Chen Yu's angry shout, a terrifying momentum spread out, the surrounding air instantly froze, an invisible pressure enveloping the area of a hundred feet.
His cultivation now reached the peak of late-stage Sky Sea Realm, and paired with his comprehension of the realm of heaven and earth, his spiritual aura was enough to form astounding pressure.
Black Demon Valley disciples around him trembled all over and couldn't help but retreat.
Even Shen Ji, who locked eyes with Chen Yu, felt tremendous pressure, his heart weighed heavy.
"My cultivation is clearly the same as his, why does he give me such pressure?"
Sweat beads dripped down Shen Ji's forehead, his fists clenched tightly, feeling extremely unwilling.
But he had to admit, facing Chen Yu again, he had no courage to challenge Chen Yu.
"Move aside."
Chen Yu coldly shouted, holding Tu Zhixiang, and walked forward.
If Shen Ji doesn't speak, he can ask himself.
The crowd dispersed, the invisible momentum Chen Yu exhibited intimidated everyone present.
"Chen Yu, might as well tell you, a few days ago, people in Black Demon Valley were successively poisoned, even the elders weren't spared."
"In the end, the higher-ups discovered, the poisoner was 'Feng Wuxue,' your third senior brother!"
Shen Ji spoke with a reproachful tone, trying hard to appear relaxed.
"Feng Wuxue has been identified as a Blood Race infiltrator, disappeared without a trace a few days ago."
Shen Ji added.
Those around listened to these words without the slightest surprise, even showing some fervent anger on their faces.
It seemed what Shen Ji said was true.
Unexpectedly, such a thing happened in Black Demon Valley!
Chen Yu now understood why Shen Ji's first words on seeing him were "Chen Yu, you came back just at the right time."
Third Senior Brother... Feng Wuxue is Blood Race?"
Chen Yu murmured.
He recalled his past interactions with Feng Wuxue, finding it hard to believe Feng Wuxue was Blood Race.
Swish!
Chen Yu moved his figure, flying towards Blood Demon Valley.
In the Great Yu Alliance days, Chen Yu often heard news about how Blood Race infiltrators secretly dealt severe blows to certain family forces, etc.
Unexpectedly, this scene unfolded in Black Demon Valley.
"Keep an eye on Chen Yu, his brother is Blood Race, he might also be Blood Race."
Shen Ji coldly snorted, issuing an order.
Inside Blood Demon Valley, security was tight, even disciples from other sub-valleys were present.
"Move aside!"
Chen Yu revealed his identity as the disciple of Silent Blood Valley Master, unleashing a powerful aura, few dared to obstruct him.
Soon, Chen Yu arrived at the residence of Silent Blood Valley Master.
In the grand hall, Silent Blood Valley Master still lay in his old spot, but his entire person seemed much older, his face more wrinkled, and the light in his eyes dimmer.
Previously, Silent Blood Valley Master exuded an all-powerful king's demeanor even lying here, but now his aura was far less impressive.
"Master, you're poisoned too..."
Chen Yu found it hard to believe.
Even Silent Blood Valley Master, a Condensed Star King, was poisoned.
He initially thought Silent Blood Valley Master could save Tu Zhixiang, but now it seemed the situation was worse than he imagined.
"Yu'er, you're back."
Silent Blood Valley Master sat upright, his eyes regaining some vigor, carefully scrutinizing Chen Yu, as if observing Chen Yu's changes over the years.
After a while, he nodded slightly, showing a bit of satisfaction and pride.
"Feng Wuxue!"
Chen Yu's gaze sank, his fists clenched, a surge of anger filled his heart.
Unexpectedly, his brother who once took care of him turned out to be a Blood Race infiltrator.
Unfortunately, back then, Chen Yu's mysterious heart couldn't sense Blood Race, otherwise Feng Wuxue would have been exposed long ago, and today's situation wouldn't have occurred.
"Yu'er, don't act impulsively, that scoundrel is a Bloodline Young Ancestor, his true strength is formidable."
Silent Blood Valley Master said sternly.
Blood Race infiltrators come in many types.
Some merely engage in assassination or convey intelligence.
Another type of infiltrator becomes core personnel in enemy forces, crucially affecting the overall situation at key moments.
Back then when Chen Yu killed the first Blood Race "Zhuo Buhuan," and then Feng Wuxue, both belonged to this type.
"What is this poison, even Master can't handle it?"
Chen Yu felt heavy-hearted.
Ordinary poison wouldn't harm a King in the slightest.
But right now, even the Silent Blood Valley Master is affected by the poison.
"This is not an ordinary poison, it must be crafted by a Condensed Star King of the Blood Race skilled in the art of poison, using their own essence blood to create the 'Bloodless Poison'!"
The Silent Blood Valley Master sighed, "This poison is difficult to cure, but the physique of a Condensed Star King is powerful. If poisoned in a small amount, they can still manage to resolve it..."
Yet, the Valley Master was clearly poisoned more than just a small amount.
How long has Feng Wuxue been lurking within the Blood Race? Nearly twenty years.
Perhaps he began secretly poisoning back then.
The depth of his scheming chills the heart!
"What happens to those who are poisoned?"
Chen Yu asked again.
"Bloodless Poison is colorless and tasteless, it can perfectly blend into any liquid it contacts. This poison lies dormant in the heart, once it erupts, it will slowly erode the heart..."
Listening to his master's explanation, Chen Yu felt a chill in his heart.
The heart is the most vulnerable part of the human body, and precisely because of this, it is difficult to treat deeply.
Once the heart necrotizes, one won't survive.
This "poison disaster" has affected many in the Black Demon Valley, and even two Valley Masters were lightly poisoned.
"Yu'er, you haven't been poisoned, thank goodness."
Silent Blood Valley Master looked at Chen Yu again, with a gleam in his eyes.
Chen Yu was taken aback; both his master and fourth senior sister were poisoned, yet he remained unscathed.
This may be because he had limited contact with Feng Wuxue, giving fewer opportunities for poisoning.
On the other hand, it might be due to his mysterious heart; Bloodless Poison has no effect on Chen Yu's mysterious heart.
"Is there really no cure for this poison?"
Chen Yu clenched his fists and asked again.
For everything that exists, there is a counter, if there is poison, there must be an antidote.
"Perhaps that bastard has the antidote..."
"Aside from that, we can only ask the Emperor of Xuanming Realm to disperse the poison!"
The Silent Blood Valley Master sighed again.
"Feng Wuxue!"
Chen Yu's mind once more flashed this person's image, instantly overwhelmed by hatred.
At this moment, Chen Yu suddenly recalled that after the Food God banquet, on the way back to Black Demon Valley, the Demon Horn Battleship was attacked, perhaps that time Feng Wuxue was secretly causing trouble.
Right, Feng Wuxue seems to have just fled a few days ago!
"Master, I take my leave."
Chen Yu stood up, a flash of ferocity in his eyes.
"Go, I will take care of your senior sister temporarily..."
Silent Blood Valley Master's hand waved, a layer of blood-red starlight lifted Tu Zhixiang's body, and flew into the hall.
Chen Yu glanced at Tu Zhixiang's tightly closed eyes.
When Feng Wuxue was lurking, he was in a brother-sister relationship with Tu Zhixiang, giving too many opportunities for contact.
It is estimated Tu Zhixiang was the most deeply poisoned...
Swish!
Chen Yu turned and left the place, his speed like a meteor, disappearing in an instant.
As soon as he left, a tall black-robed figure suddenly appeared.
"Do you think he can find Feng Wuxue? Can he get the antidote from him? Might as well directly tell him the poison is incurable, to save him the effort." The shadow spoke.
"Old Wang, you're too heartless, at least give him some hope."
The Silent Blood Valley Master glared at the shadow.
"The Blood Race has schemed against the Great Yu Realm for a long time, Bloodless Poison not only combines with the art of curses, but also incorporates an ancient, primitive potent force, leaving the Condensed Star King helpless. Even if Xuanming Realm attempts healing, they will themselves be 'troubled' by the poison, at that time the enemy Xuanming Realm would for sure take the chance to strike..."
The shadow sighed deeply.
Without healing, lose the king's combat power; if Xuanming Realm intervenes to heal, they will be affected by the poison.
This is a trap set by the Blood Race, prepared a long time ago.
...
Leaving Silent Blood Valley Master's residence, Chen Yu now understood why Black Demon Valley was in such a warlike mood.
The poison in Black Demon Valley, Feng Wuxue is the mastermind, besides there are other lurkers as well.
At this moment, Black Demon Valley is about to dispatch forces to eliminate these traitors.
Chen Yu didn't know many people, he directly found Shen Ji, and shouted: "Tell me all the clues related to Feng Wuxue!"
"What—what do you want to do?"
Shen Ji, startled by Chen Yu's sudden appearance, was somewhat flustered.
"Kill the traitor!"
Three words spat out from between Chen Yu's teeth.
Shen Ji stared at Chen Yu angrily and unwillingly for a long time, discovering that the other's pupils were like a pitch-black abyss, burning with endless flames, making Shen Ji gradually dare not meet eyes.
"Deacon Fang, give him the traitor's information and related clues."
Shen Ji instructed.
A middle-aged man nearby handed out a jade slip.
Chen Yu scanned it with his Spiritual Sense, imprinting the information within his mind.
Swish!
Taking out the Earth Dragon Battleship, Chen Yu left the Black Demon Valley.
"Humph, do you think you alone can catch Feng Wuxue?"
Shen Ji snorted coldly, filled with disdain.
The Blood Race is adept at hiding, and Black Demon Valley sent out numerous disciples to search, yet found nothing, what use is Chen Yu alone?
Moreover, Feng Wuxue's real identity is the Bloodline Young Ancestor, strong and fierce, severely wounding a Half-step Condensing Star Realm practitioner within ten moves while escaping!
A while later.
"Set off!"
Shen Ji led a hundred-man team, leaving Black Demon Valley, also to hunt the traitor.
He admitted, he might have already been left behind by Chen Yu.
But in this pursuit of the traitor, he is determined to achieve something, he has great confidence in this, after all, Chen Yu is alone, bound to return fruitless.
