Eternal Heart

Chapter 1386: Ghost King Palace

"Old fellow, keep your dog in check."

"Attacking the Blood Lord, you as its master, won’t escape blame either!"

When the elder of the Silver Soul Clan heard the first sentence, he was stunned and then became overwhelmingly angry.

This human dared to transmit a voice message to insult him.

But Chen Yu’s second sentence sent a shiver through the elder’s mind, causing his bloodline to tremble.

The title of Blood Lord, its significance, had long been etched into the bone and soul of the Blood Race.

Even this Bloodline Ancestor, who had broken through to the Heavenly Union Realm, couldn’t remain calm upon hearing this title.

"Is he the Blood Lord? No, it’s Chen Yu?"

The Bloodline Ancestor was extremely surprised.

Of course, if the person in front was indeed Chen Yu, then everything made sense.

The bloodline of the Blood Race he sensed earlier was precisely the Ancestor Bloodline on Chen Yu; the Ancestor Bloodline is the utmost existence within the Blood Race, easily hiding from being sensed by him.

But for ordinary bloodlines of the Blood Race to go unnoticed by the Blood Race bloodline, that is absolutely impossible.

Furthermore, the Bloodline Ancestor found that he couldn’t perceive Chen Yu’s exact cultivation level.

There were only two possibilities for this situation.

Either Chen Yu’s cultivation was higher than his, or someone in the Heavenly Union Realm was deliberately helping Chen Yu conceal his aura.

The Bloodline Ancestor thought the latter was more likely.

It must be those old fellows in the Blood Race helping Chen Yu hide his cultivation.

"Could it be that he’s here to test me? If I still don’t accept him, perhaps I won’t be able to return to the Blood Race."

The Bloodline Ancestor thought to himself.

But to make him bow and apologize to Chen Yu, that’s impossible, at most he’ll be nicer.

"Stop!"

The Bloodline Ancestor shouted, his voice scattered across the eight directions with authority.

The holy power attacks released by the upper echelons of the Heavenly Cold Palace became chaotic and finally collapsed.

He was profoundly shaken inside, this was the power of the Heavenly Union Realm, a single thought could dominate this world, shattering his methods.

"Hall Master, why are you?"

Why did the Hall Master stop him?

The two men in front of him were the killers of the elder from the Heavenly Cold Palace!

"This must be a misunderstanding. These two humans are acquaintances of mine."

The Bloodline Ancestor said indifferently.

He already intended to return to the Blood Race, so there was no need to continue playing the role of the Hall Master of the Heavenly Cold Palace, nothing mattered anymore.

The upper echelons of the Heavenly Cold Palace were even more puzzled; if these two were indeed known to the Hall Master, why did they kill the Emperor Zi Sha of the Heavenly Cold Palace?

But he dared not question it, merely nodded and stepped back.

"Why have you come here?"

The Bloodline Ancestor asked in a calm tone, probing for information.

"That’s none of your concern."

Chen Yu had no intention of revealing his purpose to the Bloodline Ancestor.

The Bloodline Ancestor’s face darkened, Chen Yu remained as blunt as ever; if it were any other Emperor who spoke to him like this, he’d slap them to death.

Thinking this might be a test, he held his temper.

"How should you speak? Our Hall Master asked you a question, answer politely."

But the upper echelon of the Heavenly Cold Palace immediately scolded Chen Yu.

He had never seen such daring humans, even if acquainted with the Hall Master, there should be some reverence towards a god.

Chen Yu frowned, harboring killing intent.

A high-ranking member of the Silver Soul Clan, kill him if necessary.

Seeing this, the Bloodline Ancestor’s face also darkened, and he looked towards the upper echelon of the Heavenly Cold Palace, shouting: "Shut up!"

The upper echelon of the Heavenly Cold Palace was astonished. Everything he did was to please the Hall Master, yet the Hall Master appeared displeased at this moment.

"Hall Master, Deacon Liu has sent word that the human females you wanted have been purchased, and five will be sent to your hall shortly."

The upper echelon of the Heavenly Cold Palace added, hoping to appease the Hall Master.

The Hall Master’s hobby was human beauties, he believed that by handling this matter well, the Hall Master would certainly be pleased.

The Bloodline Ancestor furrowed his brow, was this guy purely trying to mess up?

The Blood Lord is of the Human Race and naturally despises him for specifically preying on humans’ blood. At this moment, the Bloodline Ancestor had the heart to kill this upper echelon of the Heavenly Cold Palace.

But he refrained, worried that if Chen Yu held a grudge and prevented him from returning to the Blood Race, the Bloodline Ancestor could still return here.

"Release them all."

Chen Yu said coldly, in a commanding tone.

The upper echelon of the Heavenly Cold Palace was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing this.

This boy was so bold, daring to speak like that to the Hall Master; even if they did know each other, offending the Heavenly Union Realm, the Hall Master would certainly punish this boy severely.

The Bloodline Ancestor was filled with frustration that Chen Yu was so arrogant as to directly order him around. Technically speaking, he was no longer part of the Blood Race.

He held back his displeasure and said, "Step back and release those humans."

The Bloodline Ancestor still gave face to Chen Yu, the Blood Lord.

The upper echelon of the Heavenly Cold Palace looked utterly incredulous, the Hall Master actually listened to that human kid and ordered the release of the human females.

Here, the Silver Soul Clan’s status was much nobler than the Human Race, even if the Hall Master did know Chen Yu, how could he be so polite?

He even felt that the Hall Master’s attitude towards Chen Yu was similar to how he tried to curry favor with the Hall Master.

"Who exactly is this person?"

He looked at Chen Yu with confusion and slowly retreated.

The Bloodline Ancestor sighed with relief, showing a hint of a smile, "Blood Lord, I have already ordered the release of those humans. Have you come here to find me or for other matters?"

He was already feeling regret, planning to return to the Blood Race, and by then he would have to acknowledge Chen Yu’s identity.

So he changed his attitude to ease relations with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu also did not expect the Bloodline Ancestor, who once opposed him, to change his attitude so much.

In that case, he wouldn’t bother with those minor disputes.

"Do you know if anything unusual has happened recently in the Falling God Mountain Range?"

Chen Yu inquired.

Knowing clues about the Falling God Mountain Range, Meng Qingyun might not be the only one. Perhaps the Heavenly Mechanism Clan and the Wing Clan already knew about the divine demon parts near the Sky Wind Wood Clan, but they didn’t know where those parts were hidden.

After the last incident, Chen Yu became more cautious, intending to find out clearly first.

The Falling God Mountain Range isn’t far from the Heavenly Cold Palace. Whatever happens there, the Bloodline Ancestor lurking around might know something.

"Is the Blood Lord planning to go treasure hunting in the Falling God Mountain Range?"

The Bloodline Ancestor appeared understanding, then continued, "The Falling God Mountain Range is a prime forbidden land for the Silver Soul Clan. It’s also a treasure site, where powerful individuals often venture for adventure. Many major events have occurred there."

"It is fraught with peril, with even some from the Heavenly Union Realm appearing there. If the Blood Lord plans to go, it might be dangerous. How about letting this old man accompany you?"

The Bloodline Ancestor volunteered.

He had already recognized Chen Yu’s identity and was now trying to remedy previous mistakes by establishing good relations with the still-developing Blood Lord.

Chen Yu showed a look of hesitation, lost in thought.

The fewer people who know the situation about the divine demon parts, the better.

However, this Bloodline Ancestor had hidden here for decades, knowing information and some conditions about the Falling God Mountain Range. Plus, the Blood Race was quite powerful, potentially serving as an ally.

"Alright, you come with me."

Chen Yu nodded, deciding to take him along.

Subsequently, a party of three continued upward.

"Tell me about some of the major events that have recently occurred in the Falling God Mountain Range."

...

Elsewhere, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Cold Palace returned to the sect looking disgruntled.

"It’s terrible news, Elder Li!"

A steward hurried over, looking anxious.

"What’s got you shouting and yelling?"

This high-up was already in a foul mood, impatiently reprimanding.

"An Upper God from the Ghost King Palace has come to our place, looking for the Hall Master. Do you know where the Hall Master went?"

The steward immediately reported.

"An Upper God from the Ghost King Palace! Looking for the Hall Master?"

The body of the Heavenly Cold Palace higher-up trembled, his expression became solemn.

Among the god-level forces of the Silver Soul Clan, the Heavenly Cold Palace was the lowest ranking entity, whereas the Ghost King Palace was the top-tier power, with Upper Gods to boot.

Why would an Upper God from a top-tier Silver Soul Clan force come to the Heavenly Cold Palace?

This high-up hurriedly flew over.

At the peak of the mountain, inside a blood-red palace, the higher-up arrived, seeing many figures.

Standing on both sides were all elders of the Heavenly Cold Palace. Two figures floated in front, one enveloped in a dark, swirling aura, with a shape that was twisted and indistinct.

The other, from the Silver Soul Clan, wore a blood-red robe adorned with sinister skull patterns, exuding a bone-chilling blood aura, making the entire hall silent.

These two must be the Upper Gods from the Ghost King Palace, their auras and cultivation levels both stronger than their Hall Master’s!

"May I know what business the two masters from the Ghost King Palace have with our Hall Master?"

He opened his mouth, asking respectfully.

"Do you know where he is?"

The raspy and icy voice coming from within the dark aura sent chills through the souls of all the high-ups at the Heavenly Cold Palace.

"I know, I just parted ways with the Hall Master..."

This high-up from the Heavenly Cold Palace answered tremblingly.

As soon as the words were spoken, a dark red blood light shone upon him. In the next instant, a figure in a blood robe appeared before him, dignified in manner, saying, "Quickly take us to find him!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

This high-up from the Heavenly Cold Palace nodded repeatedly.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Several figures flew out of the Heavenly Cold Palace, quickly arriving at where Chen Yu and the Bloodline Ancestor had just conversed.

"They’re gone?"

The high-up from the Heavenly Cold Palace was stunned; where had the Hall Master gone?

"Are you toying with me?"

The blood-robed figure shouted coldly, as an oppressive blood light filled the world.

The body of the Heavenly Cold Palace higher-up withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Filled with terror, he pleaded, "Spare me, my lord. I wouldn’t dare."

"The Hall Master was indeed here before, maybe he left for something else..."

The figure within the black light aura glanced around, speaking, "There is indeed the presence of the Heavenly Union Realm here, and they should have just left..."

"Chase!"

The blood-robed figure commanded softly.

They also took the high-up from the Heavenly Cold Palace with them.

"Could I ask what business the two masters have with our Hall Master? He might return shortly."

The Heavenly Cold Palace higher-up asked cautiously.

"Heh, maybe he ran after getting wind of it, does he still dare to return?"

The blood-robed figure sneered.

"Do you know that your Hall Master has long been dead? The current Hall Master of the Heavenly Cold Palace is a Blood Race masquerading."

The voice from within the dark light aura said coldly.

"What? Blood Race?"

The high-up from the Heavenly Cold Palace was terribly frightened.

Yet, thinking of the recent events concerning the Hall Master, he began to believe what the god from the Ghost King Palace said; their Hall Master was indeed from the Blood Race!

"Daring to infiltrate our clan, he won’t live to leave!"

The blood-robed figure’s killing intent was immensely strong.
