Chapter 401 -0396: Master and Apprentice Reunion

Night had fallen.

Within a small city, flames flickered, and the air was thick with the stench of gunpowder and blood.

In a secret chamber, dim candlelight struggled to illuminate the space.

“Master, your injuries have worsened. During the next battle, the enemy leader ‘Chu Han’ will surely notice. Once the enemy launches a full assault, we will not be able to hold the city, and our losses will be catastrophic,” said a stocky man.

Above him, a red-faced elder with a gaunt and weathered look sat cross-legged, a scar stretching across his face.

Had Chen Yu been there, he would have recognized him at once.

The stocky man was his second senior brother, Li Dakui.

And the red-faced elder was his Master, Mao Qiuyu.

“We must hold it even if we cannot!”

Elder Mao spoke with unwavering conviction.

The Three Kingdoms had formed an alliance, and the Alliance Hierarch was the Absolute Yin Ancestor from Bone Demon Palace.

Overall, in Chu Country, Bone Demon Palace called the shots.

As Chen Yu’s Master and with Chen Yu bearing such a charge of betrayal, Elder Mao naturally struggled as other sects and powerhouses targeted him from every direction.

If Elder Mao abandoned the city now, they would use this as another pretext to single him out.

“We don’t know when Qi Country’s reinforcements will arrive. If they could arrive in time, all our problems would be easily solved.”

“I estimate it will take at least a day or more for Qi Country’s reinforcements to get here. By then, whether this city will still be standing is anyone’s guess.”

“I suggest that if we don’t see reinforcements by tomorrow morning, we should retreat.”

Several powerful figures expressed their opinions in the room.

…

Ten miles outside the city.

Countless shadows moved quietly through the forest.

“Leader, we’ve only brought half of our troops. What if we are not their match?” a muscular man whispered.

Beside him was a man as tall as a tower, emanating an air of extreme danger.

“Hehe, the great battle has just ended, and this will be their most relaxed moment. How could they ever anticipate that we would launch a surprise attack now?”

This tower-like muscular man was their leader, Chu Han.

Because it was a surprise attack, they did not mobilize the entire army.

Those who were severely injured during the day were left to remain in the camp.

“Didn’t our inside man send a message that the Yunyue Sect’s elder is severely injured? His acting isn’t half bad; when he fought with the leader today, he didn’t show any signs of weakness.”

Another man, slender yet tall, spoke.

They moved silently through the dense forest, occasionally brushing against the foliage, sending a rustling sound through the air.

Suddenly, they could see the distant city.

“Get ready, we can strike at any moment.”

Leader Chu Han spoke in a hushed tone.

Immediately, all the troops began to adjust their formation and allocate responsibilities.

However, just as Leader Chu Han had everything ready,

“Is someone there?”

“Enemy attack?”

Shouts suddenly erupted from the city.

In an instant, the city flared with light, several times brighter than before.

“What’s going on? Have we been discovered?”

Leader Xu Zhu was shocked and confused.

But from a distance, his eyes couldn’t penetrate the darkness to discern what was happening atop the city walls. freewēbnoveℓ.com

…

Atop the city walls.

Elder Mao, leading many high-ranking officials, rushed out of the secret chamber.

Outside the city walls, a group of men surrounded Chen Yu and a batch of soldiers from Qi Country.

“It’s a misunderstanding; we are reinforcements from Qi Country.”

Someone from Chen Yu’s group, in the Early Innate stage, immediately spoke up.

“Reinforcements?”

Others were skeptical.

Why would reinforcements arrive in such small numbers? It could be enemy soldiers in disguise. If they were allowed to enter the city, they might join forces with the enemy on the inside and it would be the end of everything.

“I am a disciple of Yunyue Sect.”

Chen Yu spoke up.

“Yunyue Sect?”

A skeptical voice questioned, sounding vaguely familiar.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

Elder Mao and the other high-ranking officials arrived at the city walls.

“Are you… Yu’er?”

Elder Mao stared at Chen Yu, his eyes widening in shock and surprise.

Beside him, his second senior brother, Li Dakui, also widened his eyes.

“This person… seems to be the Yunyue Sect’s traitor, Chen Yu!”

“How did he get here!”

The others whispered among themselves, looking at Chen Yu with ill intent.

Had they not known that their leader, Mao Qiuyu, was Chen Yu’s Master, they might have already attacked Chen Yu.

“Yu’er, how did you come here?”

Elder Mao was somewhat panicked.

As Chen Yu was labeled a traitor of Yunyue Sect, with his position, he was expected to act against Chen Yu.

But how could he strike his own disciple?

“Master, second senior brother?”

Chen Yu appeared stunned, looking at both Elder Mao and his second senior brother.

Unexpectedly, this city was under the responsibility of his Master, Mao Qiuyu.

However, there was no time for further conversation.

Not far away, suddenly, the sound of war horns and a great number of soldiers charged forward.

“Not good, it’s an enemy attack!”

A high-ranking official exclaimed.

Everyone turned to look into the distance, their faces filled with panic.

“Chen Yu, the moment you arrived, the enemy launched an attack. You must be in league with them!”

Another high-ranking official stared at Chen Yu, his face filled with hostility.

As soon as these words were spoken, the many individuals present looked at Chen Yu and his group with fierce animosity.

After all, in their eyes, Chen Yu was a traitor of Yunyue Sect, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he was now a traitor to Chu Country as well.

“Seize him!”

A high-ranking official bellowed.

Suddenly, a murderous intent flickered in everyone’s eyes.

But suddenly,

“Stop.”

Elder Mao gave a low shout, and the powerful pressure of the Peak of Qi Transformation spread out, causing all present to tremble inwardly, their bodies stiffening on the spot, not daring to go against his will.

“Master, the surprise attack has nothing to do with me, we should deal with the external enemy first.”

Chen Yu spoke indifferently.

Had he released his Spiritual Sense, he probably could have detected the enemy attack first. But for Chen Yu, there was no need for that.

Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Mao Qiuyu completely relaxed and nodded.

In the distance, the onrushing powerhouses like Chu Han finally made out the situation under the city walls.

“What’s going on? Are they having an internal conflict, fighting among themselves?”

Chu Han was momentarily confused.

He had originally thought that his troops had been discovered by the people of Chu Country.

In such a situation, one either retreats or faces the enemy.

How could he, Chu Han, possibly retreat and become a laughingstock upon returning?

Plus, thinking of Mao Qiuyu’s injuries, he led his troops to charge straight out.

But as they drew near, he realized that the people of Chu Country had not detected them at all.

“These troublemakers!”

The tall and thin man snorted coldly.

“Kill!”

Since they had already appeared, no need to care about anything else, just go straight for the kill.

“Mao Qiuyu, the outcome was not decided during the day, let’s settle the score tonight.”

Alliance Hierarch Chu Han, roared and soared into the sky, like a gigantic beast, charging at Mao Qiuyu.

“Master, let me handle him!”

Chen Yu said in a low voice.

“No, Yu’er, leave it to your master. If anything goes awry, you and your second senior brother should retreat first.”

Mao Qiuyu resolutely flew out, his body trailed by a layer of cyan silk.

“Master seems to be unaware of what happened after I returned to Chu Country?”

Chen Yu thought to himself.

Logically, when he was in Chu Country, he intimidated the other sect forces.

If Chang Xuan had returned to the battlefield, he certainly would have reported to Elder Mao.

However, what Chen Yu did not know was that when Chang Xuan returned to the battlefield, he was reassigned elsewhere by the Bone Demon Palace and never got to see Elder Mao.

Chen Yu didn’t bother with that and rushed into the battle.

“Young man, where did you spring out from? Our ambush plan was completely disrupted because of you.”

A tall, thin man charged at Chen Yu.

He held a long spear, and as he moved, the spear’s shadow flew out, killing many Chu Country soldiers.

“Retreat!”

Many people, their faces filled with fear, scrambled backward.

The cultivation of this tall and thin man was at the Innate Middle Stage. Among the enemy ranks, his strength was third, his spear techniques divine—no one knew how many they had slain.

“Heh, now that I’ve appeared, whatever your plans are, they are futile.”

Chen Yu snickered.

“Seeking death.”

The tall, thin man showed a fierce look and suddenly charged forward, his long spear stirring up a layer of dark cyan waves, lunging at Chen Yu.

In contrast, Chen Yu stood still with an indifferent expression, not moving an inch.

When that sharp spear shadow approached,

Snap!

Chen Yu suddenly reached out a hand and with a fierce swipe, he actually grasped the long spear of the tall and thin man!

“What?”

The tall and thin man’s face showed shock.

With his level of spear skills, how could this young man possibly hold his long spear?

The next moment, Chen Yu forcefully yanked, pulling the long spear from the tall and thin man’s hands.

“Bad move.”

The tall, thin man suddenly realized the terrifying strength of the person before him.

Facing Chen Yu’s immense power, he had no chance to resist; his long spear was taken away.

He turned to flee immediately.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a shrill whistling sound rang out, and a long spear carrying terrifying sharpness flew forth, piercing his chest.

That wasn’t all; the long spear continued forward, penetrating and killing three other enemies.

“This…”

Many soldiers of Chu Country stood still, stunned and dumbfounded.

This single thrust not only killed the third-ranked powerful enemy expert but also achieved a quadruple kill with one spear!

In the sky,

Boom!

Elder Mao and the enemy leader Chu Han clashed, the terrifying cyan-black energy swirling out.

“Mao Qiuyu, your strength now seems to be even less than during the day, showing that you truly have serious injuries. Today, let I, Chu Han, take your head.”

Chu Han laughed loudly.

Although this ambush didn’t go as smoothly as predicted.

But if they could defeat Mao Qiuyu, this war could still end quickly and victory would be theirs.

“Heh, killing me won’t be so easy.”

Mao Qiuyu’s eyes narrowed, showing a resolute expression.

“Master is hurt, he’s no match for that man!”

Chen Yu muttered and immediately soared into the air, dashing towards where Elder Mao was.

“Yu’er, what are you doing?”

Mao Qiuyu saw Chen Yu coming and his expression shifted to one of shock, immediately shouting out, then he noticed Chen Yu’s speed was incredibly fast.

“Master, I’m here to assist you.”

Chen Yu gave a low shout.

“Oh? So you are Mao Qiuyu’s disciple?”

Chu Han sneered.

A mere disciple of Elder Mao didn’t warrant concern.

“Well, let I, Chu Han, accompany you both to the Netherworld!”

Chu Han laughed heartily, his black hammer carrying a layer of astonishing black whirlwinds, crashed down.

Elder Mao’s expression tensed, looking grim.

Just then, Chen Yu burst forth, rushing over.

Bang!

The sound of metal colliding rang out, shaking the surroundings.

Then they saw Chu Han’s thousand-pound black hammer tremble violently, slipping from his grip.
