Chapter 1404: Past Events of Li Yunshan

"In the end, she was tortured to death, purely because she knew too many of my Senior Brother's dark secrets. My Senior Brother could not let her live. This path was one she chose herself; she can blame no one."

Li Yunshan murmured, "Qingsongzi, my Senior Brother, has always been such a ruthless person. I admit, under his leadership, the development of Yunlu Abode over these years has indeed been good."

"But what does that matter? Having lost his original intent, he has strayed far, far away from the ideas of our ancestors."

"So, is it worth it for you to still be working yourself to the bone for him?" Chen Yu stared at Li Yunshan and said, "Have you never thought about taking back everything that should have belonged to you?"

Li Yunshan fell into some Silence, and only after a long while did he say, "Can I really do it?"

"Why wouldn't you be able to?" Chen Yu smiled. "Some things were meant to belong to you in the first place; now, you are merely taking those things back."

"But my Divine Script Imprint..." Li Yunshan's expression was complex. He took off his outer garment, exposing his upper body.

One could see that on his body, there were many dense Divine Scripts. He raised his head and said, "These things are the greatest means of restricting me. If these things are not removed, I have no way to possess freedom at all."

"First, my Cultivation will be restricted, and furthermore, if I truly face my Senior Brother, he has a hundred ways to torture me. This thing is like the Tight-Fillet Spell of Sun Wukong, locking me here."

"I said just now that I have a way to remove the Restriction on your body." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Although the process is somewhat painful, I can restore you to your original state, as long as you can endure it."

"Is what you said true?" Li Yunshan suddenly raised his head, looking at Chen Yu in disbelief.

When Chen Yu said that just now, he was a bit skeptical; he did not believe Chen Yu was truly this strong, to the point of being able to clear the Divine Script Imprint on his body.

But now it seemed that Chen Yu truly had a way.

"Since I have said so, I will certainly be able to do it." Chen Yu said leisurely, "But I also said that the process might be somewhat painful. Can you endure this kind of pain?"

"Heh, what pain could compare to being locked in that so-called cave dwelling for seclusion?" Li Yunshan laughed. "What pain could compare to being locked up like a dog?"

"That is good. Let us find a place; I will remove the Divine Script Imprint for you, and you can go back to take your revenge." Chen Yu smiled. "How about it?"

"Of course I can, but that old thing's Cultivation is currently advancing by leaps and bounds, and there are several Elders in the sect. With my strength alone, it is impossible to shake the entire Yunlu Abode," Li Yunshan said.

"I can help you," Chen Yu said.

"What do you want?" Li Yunshan turned his head to look at Chen Yu.

"We become allies from now on, nothing more." Chen Yu smiled. "For you, this shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Of course it isn't difficult. Heh, being able to become an ally with someone as strong as you, I think this is a good thing," Li Yunshan laughed.

"Then go back now. I have a grudge against that head disciple of your Yunlu Abode." Chen Yu said, "This guy has tried every possible way to take my Life. You deal with him first."

"No problem," Li Yunshan said. "Actually, I knew early on that this kid had issues. He colluded with others, and his goal was to use my hands to kill you."

"Who did they collude with?" Chen Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly. If Li Yunshan hadn't taken the initiative to mention this matter, he would have truly been kept in the dark.

"A guy wearing orange robes; this guy calls himself... an Underworld Envoy." Li Yunshan pondered, "He calls himself what 'Different Person'? Do you know him?"

"Understood. So it was him. I said I had been feeling lately that someone was plotting against me; so it was this guy." Chen Yu nodded and said, "That is fine. Later, I will go and meet them as well."

"Let's do this: I will use a Secret Method to temporarily mask your Divine Patterns. After we resolve the matters at hand, I will thoroughly eliminate the Divine Script Imprint on your body," Chen Yu said.

"Good." Li Yunshan nodded slightly. These Divine Patterns on his body were like shackles locked onto him, causing him unbearable pain.

For how many years had he been unable to remove these things from his body? Now, even if they could be temporarily erased, it was a matter worth rejoicing for him.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, his two fingers constantly changing hand seals, and then a faint glow emitted from between his hands.

A surge of Primordial Qi slowly formed, gradually spreading over Li Yunshan's body. A moment later, those visible Divine Patterns on Li Yunshan's body disappeared one by one.

"Disappeared... they really disappeared. How did you do it?" Li Yunshan suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Yu.

He simply could not believe his eyes. One must know that these things were branded directly onto his body using Mental Power; ordinary people had no way to remove them at all.

Yet in Chen Yu's hands, they could be cleared away completely in an instant, which made him somewhat puzzled.

Who exactly is Chen Yu? His strength... why is it so strong?

"They are temporarily disappeared, not completely gone. After all, this was branded directly onto your body by your Senior Brother using a Mental Imprint. To thoroughly eliminate it, I am afraid it will still require paying a price," Chen Yu said.

"It is enough. Do you know? How great a price I have paid over these years to clear the things on my body?" Li Yunshan laughed loudly. "Qingsongzi, just you wait. I am coming back to settle accounts with you."

Li Yunshan bowed deeply to Chen Yu. "Great kindness needs no thanks. If you can thoroughly eliminate the Imprint on my body, from now on, we are allies."

"You have anger in your heart now, right? Why don't you go and kill a few Yunlu Abode disciples first to vent your anger? Especially that Zhou Xianzong; this guy's strength is average, and his ability to hold others back is truly a great sin, but I don't know why your Senior Brother values him so much?" Chen Yu asked.

"Heh, others don't know the reason for this, but I do." Li Yunshan sneered and said, "Zhou Xianzong is the illegitimate son of Cangsongzi..."

"This... there is such a thing?" Chen Yu's gaze stalled. This was a matter he had never heard of before. He had previously only felt that Yunlu Abode valued Zhou Xianzong so much—even when the kid's Cultivation was crippled, the sect still consumed countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to save him—that there must certainly be an issue.

But he had never dreamed that there was such a relationship between him and the Sect Leader of Yunlu Abode, which made Chen Yu feel it was incredible.

"Haha, it is absolutely true. That is why that kid can act so recklessly, but I am afraid he himself does not know he has this layer of identity, right?" Li Yunshan sneered. "Now I will kill Zhou Xianzong—no, cripple him, and slowly torture him."
