Chapter 1450

"The Xuantian Sword has been called down the mountain, heh, this time Qingsong has really gone all out." Li Hongyu sneered: "But I can't help feeling he's desperate, like a cornered dog jumping over a wall."

"Be confident, he is desperate, like a cornered dog jumping over a wall." Chen Yu smiled faintly: "If Qingsong says he's not afraid at all, I wouldn't believe it."

"Mm, he really is afraid." Li Hongyu nodded, then turned and said: "Kid, what's the purpose of them sending you here?"

"Reporting to Uncle Master, they just told me to watch your movements, making it easier for them to strike." Chen Feng said respectfully.

"As expected, you've been planted in the Xuanji Sect all along?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, my aptitude is mediocre, and the Xuanji Sect, eager for talent, so I was arranged to be here. These years, I've been secretly communicating with them, reporting our every move." Chen Feng said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Alright, quite honest." Chen Yu gave a slight nod: "Then next, we'll head toward the Qing Shou Observatory, you know what to do, right?"

"I know, please rest assured, Uncle Master, I will mislead them." Chen Feng said hurriedly.

"Okay, go back and gather the others, we should set out too. You're Chen Feng, right? You may go, you know what to do in your heart."

"I understand, please rest assured, Uncle Master." Chen Feng said respectfully.

Before a great mountain, a winding path twisted forward, the trail leading to a primeval forest, rarely visited by people, with towering ancient trees on both sides.

And now, on both sides of these towering ancient trees, killing intent lay thick.

A disciple in green robes swiftly moved through the forest, this green attire being the mark of the Qing Shou Observatory.

If one is of the Cultivation World, mentioning the Qing Shou Observatory, they would know what kind of place it is.

The master of the Qing Shou Observatory, Shen Qingfeng, is a celebrity, famous for his obsequious flattery of the Yunlu Residence, nearly to the point of forgetting his ancestors and sect.

Since the Qing Shou Observatory was conquered by the Yunlu Residence, he has become an outer disciple of the Yunlu Residence, complying with their demands almost without exception.

In short, his fawning is so disgusting that the Cultivation World has given Shen Qingsong the nickname "Shen Family Slave," and these years, as lackeys of the Yunlu Residence, they undertake whatever the Yunlu Residence finds inconvenient to do themselves.

Originally, the Qing Shou Observatory was considered a prominent sect in the Cultivation World, its former master a figure of great prestige, but now the Qing Shou Observatory has become a place of ridicule.

In the depths of the forest, dozens of Qing Shou Observatory disciples lay in ambush, the leader a green-robed elder who, hearing footsteps, flashed his eyes: "Someone is coming."

"Elder, it's our sect's disciple." A disciple whispered: "Should have detected their movements."

Indeed, moments later, the green-robed disciple suddenly appeared, bowing slightly: "Elder, I've already detected Chen Yu's movements, ten kilometers away, arriving soon."

"Good, what about Chen Feng? Has he sent back news?" The elder asked.

"News has been sent back, the other side should not have noticed yet." The scouting disciple bowed slightly.

"Then good, everyone, cheer up, we here are the first line of defense against them, the Sect Master has ordered us to hold this point, best to capture them in one go, so we can earn merit from the Yunlu Residence." The elder said, energized.

"Elder, why hasn't the Xuanji Sect sent any news? Shouldn't they be the first line of defense?" A disciple asked: "Why have we become the first line of defense?"

"Hmph, those old fogeys of the Xuanji Sect, stubborn and unenlightened, clinging to ancient ways, how could they possibly serve Master Qingsong so loyally?" The elder sneered.

"Those things of theirs, inherently half-hearted, have long refused to obey the Residence's constraints, so what kind of life are they living now? I believe it won't be long before the Xuanji Sect lineage vanishes from the Cultivation World."

"Yes, our Qing Shou Observatory knows the times, so we receive the most resources each year." A disciple said respectfully: "Elder, if we achieve great merit this time, Master Qingsong will surely reward us."

"Of course, heh, why haven't those fellows come yet? I can't wait." The elder said excitedly.

"Elder, what background does the opposing side have?" A disciple said worriedly: "This time I heard the Yunlu Residence has recalled all its disciples, seems very tense, is Master Qingsong facing a strong enemy? We're rushing ahead……will we become cannon fodder?"

"Heh, you're really overthinking." The elder laughed: "We are so loyal to the Yunlu Residence, how could they let us be cannon fodder?"

"Besides, what is the Yunlu Residence? The number one sect under heaven, such a place, how could there be fearful people?"

"But……" This disciple still felt uneasy, vaguely sensing something wrong, yet unable to articulate it.

"No more buts, get ready." The elder waved his hand.

At this moment, a girl suddenly appeared, giggling: "Father, why didn't you bring me out for this mission?"

"Ling Yun?" The elder frowned slightly, then displeased asked: "What are you doing here? Our mission this time is very important, don't come cause trouble."

"Father, how am I causing trouble? I'm clearly here to lend you a hand." Ling Yun said unhappily: "You told me not to leave the Qing Shou Observatory lately, I'm almost sick from being cooped up."

"Alright, there are matters in the sect lately, don't run around, hurry back, this is not a place you can come to." The green-robed elder said, frowning.

"Why can you come but I can't?" Ling Yun said displeased: "What's the big deal? Our Qing Shou Observatory is a subordinate sect of the Yunlu Residence, who dares provoke us?"

"Heh, you're really mistaken this time, there are indeed blind fools provoking our Yunlu Residence now." The elder laughed.

This is his only beloved daughter, usually doted on extremely, but also raised into this spoiled, willful nature.

"Who?" Ling Yun blinked in confusion.

"That kid is called Chen Yu, he'll be here soon." The elder said: "Alright, go back quickly, later there might be a fierce battle here, those who dare provoke the Yunlu Residence are certainly not ordinary people."

"Chen Yu? Never heard of him, is he not from the Cultivation World?" Ling Yun said.

"He hasn't appeared much in the Cultivation World, but he should still be a person of the Cultivation World." The elder said, frowning slightly: "Alright, go back quickly, after this matter is settled, I'll give you a few days off, go out and relax properly."
