Chapter 1406: What Kind of Psychology Is This?

"But you are about to die; what is the psychology behind telling me these things before you die?"

"Nothing much, just to let you die with a clearer understanding before you go," Li Yunshan said, shaking his head.

"Let me die with a clearer understanding? Are you crazy?" Zhou Xianzong stared at Li Yunshan, feeling depressed; he truly felt that Li Yunshan was insane.

"Do you think you can kill me easily now?" Li Yunshan smiled.

"Otherwise? Do you still have the strength to fight back now?" Zhou Xianzong raised the sword in his hand and grinned: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for killing Chen Yu for me, and for being able to tell me these things before you die."

"I must send you off properly. Rest assured, the sword in my hand is fast enough; I won't let you suffer at all."

Just as Zhou Xianzong was feeling triumphant, suddenly, his hand loosened, and the sword in his hand hovered eerily in mid-air.

He couldn't help but be shocked, retreating several steps; when he looked up at Li Yunshan, his eyes were full of confusion.

"This... how is this possible? How can you... didn't you lose the strength to fight back?" Zhou Xianzong realized.

Li Yunshan stood up slowly and urged the sword in his hand; the sword hovered up and down, with every strike almost aimed directly at Zhou Xianzong's vital points.

"Heh, I was just joking with you; did you take it seriously?" Li Yunshan sneered: "I just came back to test you and see if that Senior Brother of mine had given you any orders."

"Sure enough, after all these years, that Senior Brother of mine's personality hasn't changed; no matter who it is, he discards them once they are used up," Li Yunshan muttered.

"Even though I was sealed by the Ancient Divine Script, he still doesn't feel at ease with me; he must put me to death before he can feel secure."

"He doesn't care about our fellowship as fellow disciples at all."

"Senior Brother... don't kill me, I was just executing his orders. You also know that to him, everyone is just a chess piece," Zhou Xianzong wailed.

He had no intention of resisting at all, because he knew that the Li Yunshan before him was an existence that even his master had to fear to some extent.

Now that the other party wanted to kill him, it was truly as easy as turning over one's hand, requiring almost no effort at all.

"I came back, actually, just to send you off, and by the way, to let you understand your own background. Even if you are to die, you should be a ghost who understands why, right?" Li Yunshan couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, kid, where is that person who colluded with you now? Why hasn't he appeared to save you yet?"

"How do you know..." Zhou Xianzong was shocked.

"You killed your Junior Sister, didn't you? To frame Chen Yu?" Li Yunshan sneered: "You haven't learned anything good, but you've certainly learned a lot of your old man's deviousness."

"Mutual slaughter among fellow disciples is also inherited from him, right? Haha, if there wasn't someone behind you teaching you, would you have thought of these things?"

Zhou Xianzong said nothing; he gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at Li Yunshan: "What exactly do you want? Let me go, and it will be to your benefit."

"What benefit would it be to me?" Li Yunshan asked.

"You said it yourself, I am his son..." Zhou Xianzong said bitterly: "If you kill me, he definitely won't let you off."

"And you still have his Divine Script Imprint on you. If you don't want to die, let me go now; otherwise, you won't have a good end either."

"Brilliant, truly too brilliant. Just like your father, although your ability isn't much, you are skilled at scheming," Li Yunshan clapped: "The future of the Yunlu Residence is truly worrying in his hands."

"So if you let me go now, we can pretend that nothing ever happened between us," Zhou Xianzong said.

"I'm afraid that will disappoint you. Since I dared to come over, it means I have made certain preparations. As for the Divine Script Imprint your father placed on me... look, is there still such a thing on me now?"

Li Yunshan unbuttoned his shirt and revealed his chest; his body was completely bare, and the so-called Divine Script Imprint simply did not exist.

"How is this possible? This is the Ancient Divine Script Imprint; how could you possibly have removed it?"

Zhou Xianzong looked at Li Yunshan in disbelief and shouted out: "This is the Ancient Divine Script, branded directly onto you by my master using a Mental Imprint; it's equivalent to being branded on your soul. How could you possibly get rid of such an imprint?"

"Can't believe it?" Li Yunshan said triumphantly: "To tell you the truth, at first I didn't believe it either, but the facts are just like this; I have no choice but to believe it."

"I also didn't expect Chen Yu to possess such strong power. Although he only temporarily masked these things for me, this time was already enough."

"It was Chen Yu who temporarily entered?" Zhou Xianzong steadied himself and said: "Senior Brother, you cannot kill me. If you kill me, Master will definitely not let you off."

"And the imprint on you goes straight into your soul. Chen Yu only found a way to mask the surface, but the true imprint has not been masked. So after you kill me, you must think clearly about the consequences."

"Consequences? I have already thought about them very clearly," Li Yunshan shook his head slightly and smiled faintly: "For these years, this Mental Imprint has been on me."

"My actions, and even my thoughts, were restricted. Your master kept me firmly locked there, not letting me move at all."

"He stirs up trouble and eliminates dissent in the Yunlu Residence. How could our thousand-year heritage of the Yunlu Residence be ruined in his hands like this?"

Li Yunshan looked up and laughed: "So now, as long as I have even the slightest chance, I will resist..."

"My master values you very much, Senior Brother, otherwise he wouldn't have let you live until now. As for others, like the Senior Martial Uncle, he is currently trapped in a place very close to the Dark World, and he has to suffer the erosion of the Dark Power every day..."

Zhou Xianzong screamed: "So he still values you very much; at least he didn't put you on the edge of the Dark World."

"Heh, so should I thank him? Thank his ancestors for eighteen generations?" Li Yunshan sneered: "So he was showing me special favor by locking me in that place?"

"Senior Brother Li Hongyu was the most talented among us, heh, but he was persecuted by him and now his life or death is unknown. I didn't expect that he was actually still alive?"

"He is alive... but his life is worse than death. Senior Brother, you must think clearly; if you kill me, the consequence awaiting you might be the same as the Senior Martial Uncle's," Zhou Xianzong said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, heh, so that's how it is, I should thank him?" Li Yunshan slowly raised a finger and pointed it at Zhou Xianzong's head.
