Chapter 51: Elder Chi Yu Accepts Liu Ruyan as Her Disciple

Upon seeing the glamorous woman, Yang Dianfeng immediately knelt in respect. “Shizun!”

Liu Ruyan, who had met Elder Chi Yu once before, also bowed low. “Greetings, Elder Chi Yu!”

Elder Chi Yu raised an eyebrow. She scanned the surroundings: the obvious signs of a fierce struggle caused her brow to knit. “What happened here? Who dares to cause trouble at my Eight-Part Blood Dragon Altar?”

Yang Dianfeng spoke up instantly. “Shizun! It was… it was Senior Sister Wang Min!”

Hearing this, Elder Chi Yu’s slender brows narrowed. “Wang Min?” She was clearly in disbelief.

“Yes, it was indeed Senior Sister Wang Min! We never expected that she would actually dare to defy Shizun and the Blood Moon Ancestor!” Liu Ruyan added, her voice dripping with apparent sincerity. “Elder Chi Yu, Senior Brother Yang, and I just had a life and death struggle with her. She severed her own arm to escape, but do not worry. She discovered the secret of Senior Brother being a blood messenger, and we will ensure she never has the chance to spread that word!”

Elder Chi Yu’s expression shifted once again. “What? She already knows the secret of Yang Dianfeng being a blood messenger?”

Yang Dianfeng continued his performance. “Shizun, she doesn’t just know that I am a blood messenger under the Ancestor. She even knows about… you. Furthermore, she joined the Holy Tabernacle organization behind your back!”

At these words, a layer of frost settled over Chi Yu’s face. “Is this true?”

“It is absolutely true!” Yang Dianfeng pressed on. “Shizun! She claimed that in this life, she and the blood messengers are irreconcilable enemies! She is openly defying you! Junior Sister Liu and I had no choice but to fight her, but to our shame, she managed to escape…”

Elder Chi Yu pondered their words for a moment. A cold laugh escaped her lips as she looked at the two of them. “You have done well!”

This praise caused a surge of secret joy within Liu Ruyan. This was exactly the reaction she wanted!

Elder Chi Yu continued: “To be able to heavily wound Wang Min with your current cultivation… it seems I have underestimated you both. Dianfeng, your cultivation has reached the 6th-grade Jindan. Not bad!”

Yang Dianfeng was ecstatic. “It is all thanks to Shizun’s nurturing!”

Elder Chi Yu nodded. “Once you have finished hunting down Wang Min, come find me. I will take you to the Holy Land Tower!”

“Thank you, Shizun! This disciple will personally slay that traitor!”

The Elder nodded and then turned her gaze toward Liu Ruyan. “You, however, have given this Seat quite a surprise.” She spoke with a hint of excitement. The last time she saw Liu Ruyan at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the girl had only just stepped into the Jindan Realm.

“To possess such combat strength in so short a time, to have completely fused with the Supreme Bone, and… to even understand a bit of the Blood Demon Art. Excellent, truly excellent!”

Liu Ruyan bowed even deeper, showing absolute submission. “This junior has always wished to study under the Elder’s tutelage. I have practiced diligently, and with Senior Brother’s help, I achieved my current strength. To be honest, I owe my progress to the Elder’s grace!”

The flattery made Elder Chi Yu beam with pleasure. She stroked the large ferret in her arms and suddenly spoke: “Stop calling me ‘Elder’ or ‘Senior.’ Change your form of address.”

Liu Ruyan’s heart leaped with joy, but she maintained a confused expression. “Huh? Senior?”

Yang Dianfeng laughed loudly. “Hahaha! Junior Sister Liu, hurry and call her Shizun!”

Only then did Liu Ruyan act out her intense surprise. “Ah? This disciple… I cannot believe it. Elder… no, Shizun has truly accepted me today! I thought I would have to fight through the selection at the Eight-Part Blood Dragon Altar to earn the right to be your disciple!”

Elder Chi Yu was very satisfied with her reaction. However, her tone shifted slightly. “With your current strength, you are not yet a match for Wang Min in a one-on-one fight. But before long, your cultivation will surpass hers. You will become the prime disciple under my seat! When that time comes, even Yang Dianfeng will be willing to bow before your skirt.”

Yang Dianfeng’s heart trembled, but he forced a delighted smile. “Shizun is right! I must congratulate Shizun on accepting such a perfect disciple today. The stronger Junior Sister’s cultivation becomes, the happier I am, because it makes Shizun happy! Hahaha!”

Elder Chi Yu nodded and handed a spatial ring to Liu Ruyan. “This is a greeting gift from your Shizun. Cultivate well.”

Liu Ruyan knelt and bowed again. “Thank you, Shizun!”

“The two of you must settle the matter of Wang Min quickly,” Chi Yu commanded. “Afterward, Dianfeng will head to the Holy Land Tower, and Ruyan, I will have a specific mission for you.”

Both of them replied in unison: “This disciple obeys the command!”

Elder Chi Yu said no more. “Go now. Finish it quickly!”

As she finished, the red ferret in her arms suddenly transformed into a massive beast. It carried Elder Chi Yu on its back as it soared into the sky, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

“Congratulations to Junior Sister for becoming my Shizun’s disciple!” Yang Dianfeng looked at Liu Ruyan, deeply captivated by her beauty. However, in his heart, he only viewed her as a dual-cultivation partner. When Chi Yu mentioned she might become the prime disciple, a flicker of displeasure crossed his mind.

For now, he would continue to play along as long as she was useful. He believed that once he emerged from the Holy Land Tower, his strength would reach a new level: then, Liu Ruyan would once again be his plaything.

Liu Ruyan gave a bright, flowery smile. “Heehee! Thank you for looking after me all this time, Senior Brother! I hope you make great strides when you enter the Holy Land Tower!”

Yang Dianfeng nodded. “Now that you are Shizun’s disciple, there must be an identity token in that ring. Take it out and let me see!”

Liu Ruyan nodded. After the ring recognized her through a drop of blood, she probed its contents. Her eyes lit up with joy. There was not only a token, but also a high-level manual she had never seen before, along with several thousand Spirit Stones!

She hid her greed well and only pulled out the token. “This is Shizun’s command medallion!”

Yang Dianfeng nodded. “With this medallion, you can skip the competition at the Eight-Part Blood Dragon Altar. More importantly, during the selection at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, you can use it to suppress that bastard Lu Jin! With this status, no matter how much he refuses to submit, he will have to crawl! Even if the Sect Master intervenes, it will be useless!”

Liu Ruyan nodded. Her gaze turned cold. “Senior Brother, do not worry about me. In that life and death duel, I will definitely cut him down!”

Yang Dianfeng said no more. “Let’s go. We will cultivate first and then kill Wang Min as quickly as possible. Afterward, I will go to the tower, and as for you, I wonder what mission Shizun has in store.”

“But rest assured, any mission from Shizun will bring great benefits to your cultivation!”

The two of them set off in the direction Wang Min had fled. That direction led straight toward the gates of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Just as they were returning, Yang Dianfeng received a transmission talisman. His face turned pale.

“What? Elder Chen Jiang’s cultivation was actually abolished by Lu Jin?”

Liu Ruyan’s expression also shifted. “You mean Elder Chen Jiang?”
