Chapter 1449: So What If I Scolded Him a Few Times?

"I insulted him, so what?" Li Hongyu couldn't help but laugh: "In the past, when I disciplined him and made him kneel before Siguo Peak for three days and three nights, Qingsong didn't even dare to let out a fart, and he would call me 'Senior Brother' and 'I was wrong' with every breath. Now, what's wrong with scolding him a few times?"

"You... who are you?" The disciple was dumbfounded. He looked up at Li Hongyu with some trepidation; what Li Hongyu had just said made him feel it was somewhat unbelievable.

In his eyes, his master Qingsongzi was an existence almost like a god; how could he possibly be as wretched as Li Hongyu described?

"Kid, don't you go disbelieving it." Li Hongyu grinned: "I am his Senior Brother. When he first entered the sect, our master was in seclusion, and the elders of the sect were busy with other matters, so no one taught him."

"His entire Dao Lineage was taught to him by me on behalf of our master. Even if I were to go and take his head now, he would still have to respectfully call me Senior Brother when he sees me."

"Who are you?" Chen Feng looked at the old man before him in shock. Although he looked unremarkable, the aura on his body could not be mistaken.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that perhaps what this old man said was true. He had once heard that there was a highly respected elder in the sect; could this elder... be him?

"This old man does not change his name when he travels, nor his surname when he sits. I am Li Hongyu." Li Hongyu said with a chuckle: "Do you understand now that I've put it this way?"

"Li Hongyu, you are Senior Uncle Li Hongyu? Impossible..." Chen Feng was startled: "Didn't he die decades ago?"

"Heh, Qingsong, oh Qingsong, you locked me up, imprisoned me at the intersection of the Three Dark Worlds, slowly grinding away my Dao Heart, attempting to make me fall into the path of a Demon, but what you could never change was my image within the Yunlu Residence, right?" Li Hongyu couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Are you really Senior Uncle Li?" Chen Feng looked at the Li Hongyu before him; that aura made him feel incredibly shocked. He never imagined that the Senior Uncle whom all the disciples of Yunlu Residence regarded almost as a god had actually not died.

And more importantly, he hadn't died, but had been locked up by that respected Sect Master, which was something he couldn't accept for a moment.

"I am the genuine article." Li Hongyu grabbed with his right hand, and a large brush appeared in his hand.

"You really are Senior Uncle Li. This brush... is your Dharma Artifact. The person lives, the brush lives; the person dies, the brush dies. If the person dies, the brush will also disappear. This is connected to your life." Chen Feng became excited.

"Kid, you know quite a lot." Li Hongyu glanced at him, retracted his right hand, and the brush in his hand vanished: "Do you believe me now?"

"I believe you, Senior Uncle... what exactly is going on?" Chen Feng asked, suppressing his excitement.

"What else could be going on?" Li Hongyu said leisurely: "Decades ago, Qingsong intended to ascend to the position of Sect Master, but with me here, he would never have had the qualifications."

"So he made a move and trapped me at the intersection of the Three Dark Worlds, using the Blood Spring to corrode my body, intending to wear down my will and make me fall into the path of a Demon, but he never expected that I would survive it." Li Hongyu smiled slightly.

"Later, through Mr. Chen and others, I was saved, and that is how the current situation of the Yunlu Residence came to be. Do you understand now that I've put it this way?"

"But why would he do that? In our Yunlu Residence, isn't the greatest taboo killing one's own sect members? Why would it be like this?" Chen Feng still couldn't accept this fact for a moment, he said in disbelief.

"Yes, in our Yunlu Residence, the greatest taboo is killing one's own sect members, but he did it anyway. At that time, anyone who was qualified to succeed as Sect Master died at his hands one by one, or was exiled, or had their Dao Foundation destroyed by him to become an ordinary person."

Li Hongyu said: "These Junior Brothers were all elites of the sect. The Yunlu Residence of that time was blooming with a hundred flowers, the true number one sect in the world. But now? Heh, it's nothing more than what Qingsong himself has claimed."

Chen Feng didn't say a word. He slowly stood up, looked at Li Hongyu, and his expression was somewhat complex for a moment.

"What? After knowing these things, has your faith collapsed for a moment?" Chen Yu glanced at him and said.

Chen Feng nodded slightly and said: "Yes, my faith has collapsed for a moment."

"Heh, what can be done about that? In fact, power in this world is what most easily makes people lose their original heart." Li Hongyu smiled slightly: "Dharma Cultivators are no exception. Qingsong doing this is also understandable; even if it were someone else, they would do the same."

"But Senior Uncle, you wouldn't, because you are the most qualified person to inherit the Yunlu Residence." Chen Feng looked up: "Regarding the Yunlu Residence, I have also heard some rumors. I heard that Dragon Breath... is going to make a move against us?"

"Be confident, Dragon Breath is indeed going to make a move, but they won't do it openly, only in the dark. Don't you think Dragon Breath's hands are stretched too far?" Chen Yu glanced at him and said: "Important positions like Supervisor are almost all occupied by Dragon Breath."

"Moreover, the people of Yunlu Residence exclude those who are different; as long as someone is unfavorable to them, they will eliminate them. Do you understand now that I've put it this way?"

Chen Feng nodded slightly, his expression complex; for a moment, he didn't know how to conduct himself.

"Heh, has your faith been shaken?" Li Hongyu asked.

"Yes, before this, I always thought the Sect Master's words were unquestionable, but now, I have developed doubts." Chen Feng said.

"Then what do you think? Are you going to lead us to fight our way to the Yunlu Residence, or continue to hold onto your faith?" Chen Yu asked.

"I don't seem to have any other choice." Chen Feng gave a bitter smile: "Go eighty kilometers further east, there is a primeval forest in that place, and on the mountain, there is a temple gate called 'Qingshou Temple'."

"Qingshou Temple, I've heard of it. Their Temple Master, Shen Qingfeng, was defeated by me before." Li Hongyu nodded slightly: "Later, they became attached to the Yunlu Residence."

"Right, the terrain around Qingshou Temple is complex, and for these years, Qingshou Temple has been the killing weapon of the Yunlu Residence. Some dirty business that is inconvenient for the Yunlu Residence to handle is all done by them, so their strength is very strong."

"Are they planning to ambush us in that place?" Chen Yu understood the meaning of Chen Feng's words instantly.

"Yes, they have already made preparations there. As soon as you go over, they will mobilize all their disciples and spare no cost to keep you there." Chen Feng said.

"Then, aren't they being a bit overconfident?" Chen Yu said, puzzled.

"There is an Array reinforced there, and this time, the Xuantian Sword, one of the six great Divine Artifacts that guard the mountains of the Yunlu Residence, is at Qingshou Temple." Chen Feng said.
