Chapter 1411: Cooperating Once

"If I am not mistaken, Wang Zhongming of Dragon Breath must be trying every possible way to deal with Yunlu Abode right now, or perhaps install someone obedient to take the stage. And as for me, am I not the perfect candidate?"

"I like talking to smart people," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "You are right, Senior, but there is one thing you must understand: Dragon Breath cannot provide us with support in the open. After all, they still need to maintain appearances with Yunlu Abode."

"Having support in the shadows is enough for us," Li Yunshan said. "However, I still need to request an outside helper, and this person is of high moral standing and holds great influence within our Yunlu Abode."

"Who?" Chen Yu asked, looking up.

"Our Yunlu Abode's Senior Brother, Li Hongyu. He was also persecuted. I previously thought he had already undergone Soldier Release and Reincarnation, but I didn't expect that when I was beating Zhou Xianzong, he actually revealed the location of our Senior Brother."

"The Li Hongyu who goes by the name Immortal Wind Guest? He is actually still alive in this world?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned.

Although the current sect leader of Yunlu Abode is despicable and shameless, when this Li Hongyu was around, he was known as a man of great virtue.

He always convinced people with reason and maintained order with virtue, so his status in the Jianghu was extremely high. Unfortunately, after being plotted against by his fellow disciples, he vanished without a trace.

I never expected that he was actually still alive in this world.

"Yes, this is the Yunying Map brought by that brat Zhou Xianzong; it records the place where he is being held." Li Yunshan took out the Yunying Map and handed it to Chen Yu.

"Isn't this the island where we looked for the Dark Creature last time?" Chen Yu looked up at Liu Ruxi with some surprise.

"Let me see." Liu Ruxi took the map, scanned it a few times, and nodded. "That's right, it's the place we stayed at last time. I didn't expect that place to be holding someone else."

"That small island is formed by four islands connected together. We only looked at one of them and didn't check the others. According to the geographical location shown on the map, the place where Li Hongyu is located is at Devil Island in the northeast corner. Half of this place is not even in this plane," Chen Yu said.

"It is a place extremely close to the Dark World. I only just realized now that my Senior Brother possesses a Heavenly Human Physique, so if one wants to truly kill him, it is not an easy task."

"So that scoundrel Qingsong placed my Senior Brother in that location, using Dark Power as the primary force to constantly erode his body."

"That scoundrel Qingsong is truly insidious. How did he manage to sit in the position of sect leader?"

"Heh, it is precisely because this fellow is insidious enough that he managed to sit in the position of sect leader," Li Yunshan said with a cold laugh. "The reason we were defeated is that we were not as despicable as him."

"That is true, only despicable people can sit in that position; those words are not false at all." Chen Yu nodded slightly, then said, "Senior Li, since we have been to this place, let us go there with you once more. It would be best if we could rescue your Senior Brother."

"Good, thank you both," Li Yunshan said gratefully.

The group agreed to go to the small island together tomorrow. After leaving Lone Peak, Liu Ruxi said, "Are you really going to help him rescue Li Hongyu?"

"We are allies now, at least until Yunlu Abode is destroyed. So helping him out is also beneficial to us."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to help him, but do you know what kind of place Li Hongyu is being held in?" Liu Ruxi said.

"It's on the edge of the Dark World, right?" Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "So, is there anything special about this place?"

"Of course there is," Liu Ruxi said. "This place is too close to the Dark World, and due to the erosion of Dark Power, Li Hongyu might no longer be the Li Hongyu he once was."

"He will fall into the path of the Demon?" Chen Yu was startled.

"I can only say it is very likely he will fall into the path of the Demon, but I don't know his current state," Liu Ruxi said. "Moreover, the location of that small island is not just close to the Dark World; it is even closer to... Yellow Springs."

"Even closer to Yellow Springs... then the possibility of him falling into the path of the Demon is even greater." Chen Yu was shocked and didn't know how to express his feelings. If that were truly the case, it would be dangerous.

"Yes, so when we go to rescue him, we must be mindful of these things," Liu Ruxi said. "But if Li Hongyu is truly the gentleman the Jianghu rumors say he is, then even if he has fallen into the path of the Demon, we might have a way to pull back the tether of the Heart Demon in his heart."

"I hope he is not a hypocrite." Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "He must be saved. I feel that even if a Senior Brother whom even Li Yunshan admires is temporarily eroded by a Heart Demon, it is not a major issue."

"Right, so prepare yourself; we will land on the island tomorrow," Liu Ruxi said.

"Good, sorry to trouble you." Chen Yu smiled sheepishly and said, "Actually, these matters are my own business; you don't need to get involved."

"These matters are indeed your business, but since I have encountered them, I must step in and handle them, otherwise..." Having said this, Liu Ruxi stopped speaking. She shook her head and walked away quickly.

Ping'er was waiting in the car at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Chen Yu come down, she went to greet him.

"Where is Miss Liu?" Chen Yu asked.

"She left without looking back." Ping'er pointed into the distance and said, "I don't know the reason, but I always feel she is different from before."

"She has awakened a new personality. This personality is neither Liu Lianxin nor Liu Ruxi, but a brand-new her. So it is normal that she is different from before, isn't it?" Chen Yu laughed.

"That's true. Let's go." Ping'er smiled slightly, got into the car, and started the engine.

"Tomorrow we have to return to that island from before. There are new things to resolve."

"What is the matter this time?" Ping'er asked with some surprise. "Are you taking me with you?"

"You don't need to go this time, because the situation we are facing is not ordinary. We are requesting the help of a senior, but this senior is very likely to have fallen into the path of the Demon. You just need to keep an eye on Heihu and Qingji."

"The two of them are quite normal and there is nothing special about them," Ping'er said. "Heihu is simple-minded, so there shouldn't be much of a problem, but Qingji is more calculating, though that is not a big problem either. Both can be managed."

"Good, observe them more. After all, demonic nature is hard to change. Once they are selected for the Demon Department, there will be many rules, and I am afraid they might not be able to accept them," Chen Yu said.

"Understood, I will pay more attention to them," Ping'er nodded and said. "However, the method you taught me to cultivate Mental Power seems to have hit a bottleneck now; it has been stagnant."
