Chapter 1158: Sorcerer Zhou Tianbing

"Who are you?" The remaining few from Dragon Breath were startled, retreating a few steps in succession, looking at Chen Yu with expressions of shock.

"Dragon Breath, Chen Yu." Chen Yu spat out the four words indifferently.

"You are Chen Yu? Why are you here?" The complexions of the few changed slightly.

"If I weren't here, I wouldn't be able to see you all doing such heinous things in this place." Chen Yu sneered and said, "What a magnificent Demon Refining Furnace."

"What a display of holding up the banner of the righteous path, catching demons to refine pills, and skinning and dismembering those innocent creatures."

"Chen Yu, stop talking nonsense. Don't you eat meat? Every bite of meat you eat comes from skinning and dismembering." One of them said sternly.

"Can it be the same? It is not easy for them to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and condense into form."

Chen Yu said coldly: "What is different from ordinary animals is that they already possess Spirit Sense and have gained the Seven Emotions; what difference is there between them and humans?"

"Stop spouting so much useless talk. This place is the territory of Deacon Zhou, and furthermore, we are doing these things with the tacit approval of a certain big shot." A man said coldly: "You had better not meddle in other people's business."

"Oh, tacit approval from someone above in Dragon Breath, I understand." Chen Yu nodded slightly: "No wonder, hollowing out a mountain and then building a Demon Refining Furnace over ten meters high is not something that can be done in a single day."

"And if there were no strong support behind the scenes, it would be impossible to build this thing in this place without attracting attention."

"It is good that you understand. Deacon Zhou's authority is not as high as yours, but you must be clear about who supports him behind his back." The man said coldly.

Chen Yu did not say a word. Suddenly, his figure flashed, turning into an afterimage as he circled the spot.

His speed was extremely fast. After circling once, he returned to his original position, as if he had never moved at all.

Meanwhile, several men fell to the ground one after another, with only the lead man in a suit still standing on the spot.

"Chen Yu, what do you want to do? You are killing a colleague." The man in the suit was furious. He looked at Chen Yu in shock, feeling that Chen Yu must have gone mad.

Within Dragon Breath, killing a colleague is a grave crime. Even if a member of Dragon Breath has committed a great fault, they must be taken back to face the three halls and five interrogations before being convicted. Chen Yu acting so directly to kill was a major taboo.

"Enough nonsense." Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen hovered over the man's head.

A powerful Sword Intent enveloped the man in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead.

He looked at Chen Yu, trembling, and then fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.

"I, Chen Yu, do not need any reason for what I do. If Dragon Breath really restricted me with these things, I would not stay in Dragon Breath." Chen Yu said coldly: "Killing you is no different from killing ants. Now that Deacon Zhou is before me, I will kill him without fail."

"I want to see who in Dragon Breath dares to say anything."

These words scared the man so much that he was terrified out of his wits. The mere Sword Qi from Chen Yu pressed him down so he could not lift his head. His tone became much kinder than before: "Mr. Chen, I am just an errand runner. It has nothing to do with me; the person in charge here is Deacon Zhou."

"Who is Deacon Zhou? Take me to see him." Chen Yu shouted in a deep voice.

Chen Yu did not know all of the Sixteen Deacons in Dragon Breath, and he did not know who this Deacon Zhou was, but someone who could build such a large Demon Refining Furnace without a sound was definitely no ordinary person.

"Alright, alright, I will take you to see him." The man in the suit did not dare to talk back at all.

Chen Yu turned his head and said to Liu Xian: "Take the others and kill your way out. Anyone who blocks you, kill them all. Do not fear Heavenly Retribution; with me shielding you, even Heavenly Retribution will have to take a detour."

"Alright, those who don't want to die, follow me." Provoked by Chen Yu, Liu Xian's blood immediately boiled.

"Kill our way out!" All the demons shouted.

They were sentient beings possessing Spirit Sense who had already transformed into human form and gained the Seven Emotions; they were actually no different from humans.

Most of them were kind-hearted, so they were timid when acting, fearing that they would suffer Heavenly Retribution after hurting people.

That was why these people had captured them with almost no effort, but Chen Yu's words immediately made them angry.

Born as demons, they would never be controlled by humans.

For a time, the cave was filled with demons dancing in chaos. A group of demons scattered and rushed toward the people here.

In a stone chamber carved out by hand, Chen Yu met Deacon Zhou. This fellow was over fifty years old and wore a Daoist robe; he looked like someone proficient in Esoteric Sect Dao Techniques and the like.

Dragon Breath had extremely high requirements for deacons, but for practitioners like sorcerers, the ceiling was too limited; the Primordial Qi Realm was already the limit.

But for this fellow to reach this point relying on his own sorcery was indeed not easy.

"You are Chen Yu?" In front of Deacon Zhou was a ritual altar, surrounded by many Yin-Yang Mirrors, and a Xiantian Bagua Diagram was carved on the floor; he looked like a master of Arrays.

"You are Deacon Zhou?" Chen Yu threw the man he had brought to the side and sneered: "Looking at the horizontal lines between your eyebrows, this is caused by doing too many heinous things."

"Hehe, the way I, Zhou Tianbing, act has always been like this, and my family's own heritage is to kill demons. I consider that I have done nothing wrong." Deacon Zhou laughed.

"Zhou Tianbing, quite an imposing name." Chen Yu stared at him and said: "Eliminating demons and defending the Dao is correct, but using this as an excuse to satisfy your own selfish desires, that is where you are wrong."

"Are these beasts not born to be used by people like us? We are born as humans and are uniquely gifted on the path of cultivation."

Zhou Tianbing laughed loudly: "But human luck eventually has a time when it runs out. If we do not use these things as our stepping stones, how can we pursue breakthroughs in our realms?"

"On the path of sorcery, the realm is limited. You were able to reach your current realm by relying on these heinous things." Chen Yu suddenly realized: "For someone like you, to encounter you and not kill you would be a great disrespect to the Heavenly Dao."

"Hahaha, Chen Yu, you are a rising star in Dragon Breath. It seems the few big shots value you highly, but today, having met you, I feel you are actually just so-so."

Zhou Tianbing laughed loudly: "I would like to see what is so extraordinary about you."

"Then let's try it." Chen Yu looked around: "Coming from a background of sorcery, Arrays are your strength. The place where I am standing is a massive Array, right?"

"That's right, it is indeed an Array. No matter how strong you are, don't even think about escaping from my Array." Zhou Tianbing said triumphantly.

In his hands were already two flags; these two flags were Array Flags. As long as he moved slightly and activated the Array Flags, he could trigger the Great Array.
