Chapter 1510: Can't Figure It Out

"You... how is it possible for you to enter without a sound?" Matsuda wore an expression of disbelief, staring fixedly at Chen Yu, desperately wanting to know the answer; otherwise, he would die with his eyes wide open.

He did not understand how this could be; they had set up layers of Barriers outside, and for Chen Yu to charge in from the outside without a sound was an impossible thing.

Because no matter how strong he was, there would be movement when breaking through a Barrier, but now there was not a sound, which made him feel it was inconceivable.

"Can't figure it out?" Chen Yu said with a chuckle: "It's right that you can't figure it out, and you don't need to figure it out; go in peace."

"Tell me... how on earth did this happen?" Matsuda said through gritted teeth.

The fresh blood on his chest kept surging downward, making his blood-red and white Onmyoji robe appear incomparably vivid.

He was holding on to this last breath; if Chen Yu did not tell him the reason, he feared he would not be able to close his eyes even in death.

"You want to know? Fine, I'll tell you." Chen Yu turned his head, formed a seal with two fingers, and a radiance appeared.

"This is a Binding God Order, this is our Onmyoji identity badge, how could you possibly have it?" Matsuda was shocked; he even forgot the pain in his chest, looking at Chen Yu in disbelief, his whole person stunned.

A Binding God Order is a symbol of an Onmyoji and is simultaneously connected to the soul of that Onmyoji; wanting to seize it is almost impossible, because once this thing is lost, the person involved will die.

Furthermore, no one would be stupid enough to hand this thing to someone else, because this thing is more important than an Onmyoji's life, yet Chen Yu had this thing in his hand right now; how on earth did this happen?

"Heh, can't figure it out?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and said: "This thing was handed to me by Mitsui Shanghe; do you understand now that I've said this?"

"It was him? Why? Why would he do this?" Matsuda stared at Chen Yu with anger, shock, and unwillingness: "He is an Onmyoji, he swore an oath to the Baqi Main God to be loyal forever; why would he betray his faith and sell his soul?"

"Because all of this was forced by you." Chen Yu sneered and said: "He was loyal to your so-called Alliance Leader, but how did you treat him?"

"You pushed him out to be used as a pawn, letting him buy time, and then you set up a Barrier to capture me? After he realized all of this, his heart turned to ash toward your Alliance Leader."

"Being loyal to the Alliance Leader is his duty; in the Divine Way, how can there be thoughts of personal gain? We must be ready to dedicate everything we have to the Alliance Leader at any time."

"Yeah, then why don't you dedicate yourself?" Chen Yu glanced at him and said: "You used him, so when he died, he made some trades with me; he handed his Binding God Order to me, which is why I was able to break through your Barrier easily and without a sound."

"Impossible, this thing is more important than his life in his eyes; how could he possibly hand this thing to you? Without this thing, even if he dies, his soul will be reduced to a slave, never to enter Reincarnation for all eternity," Matsuda shrieked; he still refused to believe that Mitsui Shanghe was willing to hand over his own soul.

"Yeah, this thing is more important than his life, because without this thing, there is no symbol of identity, and in your Fusang Hell, one would be reduced to a slave. But have you thought about why he wasn't afraid? Because in order to deal with me, he burned his own Soul and Seven Spirits, so after he dies, he will disappear completely, with no chance to start over ever again."

"He has no soul, so how could he be afraid? Besides, there are some things he wanted to protect; these things are far more important than his soul."

"What things?" Matsuda looked at Chen Yu, unable to believe it.

"For example, family?" Chen Yu smiled: "I promised him that I would let his family live their lives in peace and without worry, which is why he could safely hand these things to me; so, is there a problem?"

"It is impossible for anyone in the Divine Way to have family. The first rule we must follow to enter the Divine Way and become an Onmyoji is to sever all emotions; we must personally eliminate all our own family, and he was an orphan; he had none," Matsuda shrieked.

"So there is such a rule here; devils are devils." Chen Yu said coldly: "Whether he had people around him or not, that is no longer important. If you have nothing else to say, then I will send you on your way myself."

"Chen Yu, you will not have a good end for going against our Divine Way," Matsuda roared, staring fixedly at Chen Yu.

"That is my business; no matter what, you will be leaving a step before me. Whether I have a good end or not, you will never see it." Chen Yu sneered: "Now, I'll give you a chance; tell me where your Divine Palace is, and I can let your soul remain intact."

"Don't even think about it, baka..." Matsuda roared hysterically.

Chen Yu did not waste any more words with him; since he would not cooperate, there was no need to keep him. His figure flashed, he stepped forward, and his figure swept past Matsuda.

An invisible Primordial Qi condensed and formed a breath in mid-air, which swept across Matsuda's chest.

Matsuda shrieked as his body turned into a burst of sparks, and immediately after, a phantom flashed up from the ground, turned into a radiance, and shot into the sky, intending to flee.

This was Matsuda's soul. Chen Yu could have destroyed his body and soul with one strike, but Chen Yu did not do so; instead, he left him a glimmer of hope, so when this guy's soul was about to flee, Chen Yu grabbed it in his hand without hesitation.

Opening his palm, one could see a tiny figure struggling incessantly in Chen Yu's hand, trying to break free from Chen Yu's restraint; this figure was translucent, a shrunken version of Matsuda—this was his soul.

"Do you want to run away?" Chen Yu smiled slightly, pointed into the void, and the Primordial Qi condensed into a Finger Prison, trapping him in mid-air.

Matsuda struggled desperately, slamming into the four sides of the Finger Prison, trying to break through the Finger Prison and escape, yet no matter how he slammed, it was all in vain.

"What exactly do you want? I am already dead; are you still unwilling to let me go?" Matsuda shrieked and struggled, trying to rush out, but no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain in the end.

"For you, as long as the soul is not destroyed, it is not true death; for me, it is the same." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Where are the Divine Officials holding the ceremony? How far have they progressed now? Tell me, and I will let you go; you can return, otherwise..."

Chen Yu lifted his right hand, moved three fingers, and a wisp of Primordial Qi whistled out, condensing into a flame. This wisp of flame whistled upward; this was True Fire. From far away, Matsuda felt as if his soul were about to melt.
