Chapter 1400: This Is Her Choice

"This path is one she chose herself," Chen Yu said. "And her Mental Power is inherently much stronger than that of an ordinary person; she simply has no way to survive in the world of ordinary people, so this method is the best for her."

"Perhaps so, but once she sets foot on the path of Cultivation, there is no turning back. She and her loved ones and friends will be in two different worlds," Liu Ruxi said thoughtfully.

"Does she still have loved ones and friends by her side?" Chen Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "She is an orphan by nature, and because her aptitude was quite good, she entered the military very early on."

"Her friends are only her comrades-in-arms, but many of her comrades basically died right before her eyes, so for someone like her, if she begins to cultivate, she will understand attachments the best."

Liu Ruxi was stunned for a moment; she nodded slightly and then said, "You had a conflict with the owner of the Nightingale Bar?"

"Yes, I took a liking to two people and wanted to take them away, but that guy wouldn't allow it, so I sent him on his way," Chen Yu said.

"Since when has your way of doing things been so overbearing?" Liu Ruxi glanced at Chen Yu, her expression somewhat strange.

"It doesn't count as overbearing. That guy used Demon Refining Pills to boost his own Cultivation; he wasn't a good thing to begin with," Chen Yu said. "I merely defeated him, I didn't kill him; I handed him over to the group of demons in the Nightingale Bar."

"You might as well have just killed him outright," Liu Ruxi said, somewhat speechless. "Refining Demon Pills, pulling out tendons and peeling skin—how could the demons in the Nightingale Bar possibly let him go? The best outcome would be being torn limb from limb, right?"

"This is the meaning of the existence of the Heavenly Dao," Chen Yu smiled slightly and said. "He can't blame anyone; the things he did before were the Karma he planted himself. This is what he brought upon himself."

"Perhaps, this is indeed Karma," Liu Ruxi nodded and said. "The things he did are inherently intolerable to the Heavenly Dao, so having this Karma is nothing."

"By the way, how is your Demon Department going?" Liu Ruxi asked.

"It's alright. Anyone who enters the Demon Department will be strictly vetted," Chen Yu said. "The two I found in the bar should have quite good abilities."

"Then you must also be careful. The human heart is hard to fathom, let alone those Spirit Monsters who attained Cultivation later in life," Liu Ruxi said. "The existence of the Demon Department itself is quite controversial; you must absolutely not let any mishaps occur, otherwise those in Dragon Breath who already harbor hostility toward you will seize the handle."

"These demon creatures are much easier to manage than people," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "So rest assured, I will absolutely not allow the Demon Department to have any problems."

"So confident?" Liu Ruxi couldn't help but glance at Chen Yu. "How did you come up with this idea in the first place?"

"Education without discrimination; they are also a form of Cultivation, but it is much harder for them than for us," Chen Yu said. "And mass-slaughtering them is not a good method either, so I think gathering them together and being able to use them for one's own purposes is also a good method."

"What a fine 'education without discrimination'," Liu Ruxi sighed and said. "Actually, to tell the truth, it's not that no one has thought of this before, but no one dared to put it into action."

"After all, they are of a different kind; if something goes wrong, no one can take responsibility. You can be considered bold."

"I'm not bold; I just feel that I can control them," Chen Yu laughed. "I welcome you to come and visit the Demon Department sometime."

"Alright," Liu Ruxi nodded.

In a clubhouse, Li Mingshan was once again eating and drinking heartily. After he was full of food and wine, he stretched.

"It's been decades since I've enjoyed myself like this. Sigh, I still envy ordinary people; they eat when they want to eat, sleep when they want to sleep, and don't have to endure the dull and tasteless day after day, year after year of Cultivation. How nice," Li Mingshan said while stretching.

Zhou Xianzong, standing to the side, was somewhat angry but dared not speak.

He really wanted to curse out loud; this old man was truly too despicable. Could the cold remarks he was making even be considered human speech?

This old man had a lifespan of at least two or three hundred years and possessed a level of profound strength; even within the Yun Lineage, he could be considered an outstanding figure.

Even the Sect Leader Dharma Master had a few misgivings about him; otherwise, he wouldn't have spent such great effort to seal him away back then.

Now he was actually envying ordinary people? Truth be told, if this guy were an ordinary person, he would definitely be a guy who was loathed everywhere.

But these words were only thoughts in Zhou Xianzong's heart; he really didn't dare to curse out loud, otherwise, the problem would be serious, and besides, he was currently asking Li Yunshan for help.

"What, cursing me in your heart?" Li Yunshan glanced at Zhou Xianzong. "Cursing me for only eating and not working?"

"No, really no, how could I dare, Uncle-Master." He was startled by Li Yunshan, and he hurriedly laughed sheepishly. "You have been here for several days already; when will you go and meet this person named Chen Yu?"

"No rush. I was trapped in that cave dwelling for decades; I haven't properly stretched my muscles and bones in all these decades," Li Yunshan said leisurely. "And the changes in this world are truly too great; I want to enjoy myself first before anything else."

"Sigh, the rich people in this world are still the best—good food, good drink, good wine, good dishes, and beauties too," Li Yunshan said to himself while standing up.

"Uncle-Master..." Zhou Xianzong wanted to speak but hesitated.

"What, if you have something to say, just say it; don't mumble," Li Yunshan turned his head and glanced at him.

"It's like this, Uncle-Master: this guy Chen Yu might leave Modu recently. If we don't get rid of him now, we might not be able to find him. This guy is from the Yun Lineage, after all," Zhou Xianzong said.

"If he returns to Dragon Breath, it will be difficult for us to find him again."

"He is a person from Dragon Breath?" Li Yunshan's expression changed slightly. "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"You... didn't ask," Zhou Xianzong said cautiously.

"Trash, if I don't ask, you won't tell me? Isn't figuring out the basic situation of the enemy the most fundamental thing?" Li Yunshan said angrily.

"Yes, I know," Zhou Xianzong was lectured like a grandson. He said cautiously, "So Uncle-Master, should we probe Chen Yu's bottom line now?"

"Enough, I know," Li Yunshan waved his hand and said. "Don't worry, even if he is from Dragon Breath, it is of no great consequence. I have seen plenty of people from Dragon Breath."

"And the number of Dragon Breath experts who have died at my hands is not just one or two."

"Uncle-Master... you have a grudge against Dragon Breath?" Zhou Xianzong was shocked; he simply couldn't believe his ears.

One had to know that the status of the Yun Lineage within Dragon Breath was extremely high, and every year they would send a batch of talent into Dragon Breath, but this old man actually had Dragon Breath lives on his hands—was he crazy?
