Chapter 1438: No Support
Just at this moment, Li Hongyu and Li Yunshan walked over; these two Senior Brothers, when added together, were nearly two hundred years old.
Ping'er nodded slightly to the two of them and then left this place; she knew that since they were looking for Chen Yu now, they must have something to discuss, and her presence here would likely delay them.
"Two seniors, is there something you wish to say?" After Ping'er left, Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"Nothing major, it's just that we are going for revenge tomorrow, and thinking about it, I feel a little excited." Li Yunshan's tone was normal, but there was a trace of excitement in his voice.
Indeed, having been imprisoned for decades—euphemistically called "seclusion"—anyone would feel resentful; having accumulated decades of grievances in his heart, he had finally found an outlet, so how could he not be excited?
"It is not revenge; we are returning to the sect to clean up the house for our ancestors," Li Hongyu glanced at him and said, "Infighting among fellow disciples is something our Yunlu Abode can never forgive."
"Yes, Senior Brother is right, we are cleaning up the house for the ancestors of Yunlu Abode," Li Yunshan nodded hurriedly, "We are not seeking revenge."
Chen Yu was caught between laughter and tears; these two old men, who had lived long enough to become spirits, spoke without a single flaw.
"But Mr. Lin, you are acting on behalf of Dragon Breath this time; have they provided you with any help in secret?" Li Yunshan changed the subject.
Chen Yu finally understood the purpose of their visit; they were mainly feeling uncertain.
"I don't know about that. Dragon Breath is chaotic internally, and now that many of your Yunlu Abode disciples have flooded in there, we are coming to resolve Dragon Breath, while they still have situations to handle within Dragon Breath, so I am not sure if they can provide us with support," Chen Yu thought for a moment and said.
"So that's how it is. That old fellow Qingsong has stretched his hands too far," Li Hongyu sighed and said, "As a Dharma Cultivator, one should not be so heavy on the desire for profit. This guy has thrown the Master's teachings to the nine heavens."
"Yes, in the past, although Yunlu Abode had influence within Dragon Breath, it didn't go so far as to alert them, and everyone lived in peace, but now..." Li Yunshan shook his head slightly and sighed, "Now Dragon Breath views us as a thorn in their side."
"Indeed, Qingsong has simply ruined the future of Yunlu Abode," Li Hongyu also shook his head, "After the Master passed away, he eliminated dissenters, and now almost no one can control him."
"So, the reason Dragon Breath wants to move against them this time is because what they have done is truly too excessive, especially this time using the ancient Dream Weavers; this is a move that could very likely overturn this world, and it is something the current leadership does not allow to happen," Chen Yu said.
"Understood, but is there really no support at all from Dragon Breath?" The two looked at each other, and Li Yunshan still couldn't help but ask.
"As far as I know, no," Chen Yu shook his head and gave a wry smile, "I understand the two seniors' concerns, but in fact, Dragon Breath cannot take action personally; after all, they still need to maintain the superficial relationship with Yunlu Abode."
"They only support Yunlu Abode changing hands in secret; they do not support a grand, public crusade, so our trip to Yunlu Abode can at most be considered a private grudge," Chen Yu said.
"A private grudge?" Li Hongyu nodded slightly and said, "Understood. Now I have a clear idea. Hehe, don't worry, we just came to ask; now that we know, we won't make a big scene. We set off tomorrow and will fight all the way to the East Sea."
"Good," Chen Yu nodded.
East Sea, Yunlu Abode; it was still that place by the sea. Qingsong stood there, looking at the place where the sea met the sky, lost in thought for a long time.
Yun Qing walked over slowly: "Sect Master Senior Brother, do you have any instructions?"
"Nothing much, I just felt restless during my cultivation, so I called you over to chat. Come, let's go sit," Qingsong closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.
"Good," Yun Qing nodded, left the place with Qingsong, and the two sat down in a small pavilion.
There was a stone table in the pavilion, and on it sat a set of top-grade purple clay tea ware. Qingsong picked up the teapot, using True Fire as a guide, and a pot of fresh tea was brewed in a moment.
The boiling tea was poured into the cups, stimulated by True Fire; the tea brewed with spring water from the earth had an extremely rich flavor.
"Good tea," Yun Qing took the tea, held it to his nose to smell it, and couldn't help but praise, "Senior Brother, your skill in the Dao of tea is getting better and better."
"Hehe, the skill in the Dao of tea does not actually lie in how well you brew the tea, but in how good your tea is," Qingsongzi smiled slightly, "This batch of tea bricks is indeed top-grade, which is why the flavor of the tea is so rich."
"Senior Brother, you are being modest," Yun Qing smiled slightly, took the tea, sipped it, then put the cup down and said, "Senior Brother, are you worried about something?"
"I'm not really worried about anything, just feeling a bit restless," Qingsong sighed and said.
"You don't need to worry about anything; it's nothing more than a Chen Yu and a Li Yunshan. Our Yunlu Abode is the number one sect in the world; I don't believe those two can destroy our thousand-year Dao Lineage," Yun Qing sneered.
"The Dao Lineage wouldn't be destroyed, but those two are indeed not ordinary people, and this time, they have an extra helper. It is this helper that I am truly worried about," Qingsong said.
"What helper? Hehe, as long as they dare to step into our Yunlu Abode, I guarantee they will never return," Yun Qing said with great confidence.
"Senior Brother, Li Hongyu," Qingsong slowly uttered this sentence.
"Who? Senior Brother? Li Hongyu?" Yun Qing was shocked, his face turning pale instantly.
Senior Brother Li Hongyu was the Chief Disciple of Yunlu Abode; in the eyes of many veteran disciples of Yunlu Abode, he was a god-like existence.
His status in Yunlu Abode was the same as that of a teacher. After the catastrophe that Yunlu Abode went through, most of the teachers were gone, including Li Hongyu.
But this time, hearing that Li Hongyu had come, he suddenly felt restless.
"Yes, originally I used a curse to lock him away, but the Yunying Map accidentally fell into Li Yunshan's hands, so he released Senior Brother," Qingsong poured another cup of water and said.
"Then what is Senior Brother's current state?" Yun Qing became worried; truthfully, even he felt uncertain now.
"He has not turned into a Demon," Qingsongzi said, "Senior Brother is worthy of being Senior Brother. Having been locked in that place for so long, he actually did not turn into a Demon. You must know, that place is where the Three Dark Worlds converge, and the dark energy is extremely heavy."
