Chapter 1464: Eternal Interests

Hongrao couldn't help but shiver; thinking of Shen Qingfeng's methods, she felt a chill run through her entire body.

In this world, there are only eternal interests, not eternal friends. The two from the Yun clan might have been able to help her just a moment ago, but now that Yun Wu and the others have defected to Li Hongyu's side, Shen Qingfeng naturally won't fall behind.

In this way, no one cares whether she lives or dies. She was once a woman of the red-light district, and it was only after Shen Qingfeng took a fancy to her that she was brought into the sect.

For these past few years, she has lived a life of drunken dreams and immortal-like luxury. Shen Qingfeng treated her well enough, but this time, she bet on the wrong side.

"Sect Master Shen, it is a good thing to abandon darkness for light in time," Chen Yu said with a chuckle. "However, when we came up the mountain just now, we encountered resistance from various sides, and many of your disciples were injured. You wouldn't hold a grudge against us, would you?"

"No, of course not. Before, I was blinded by greed and tried to block the path of a few experts. Now that I think about it, it was truly overestimating my own capabilities. I apologize," Shen Qingfeng hurriedly apologized.

"Fine, since you are willing to surrender yourself, I have nothing more to say," Chen Yu said indifferently. "It's just that you know in your own heart what sins the Qingshou Temple has committed; pay them back slowly."

"I understand. Please rest assured, Mr. Chen. From now on, Qingshou Temple will perform one good deed every day, and we will no longer forbid outsiders from entering or living in the surrounding area," Shen Qingfeng said hurriedly.

"Very well. In half a year, I will return to check on your situation here. If things here are still the same as before, without any changes, don't blame me for wiping out your thousand-year Dao Lineage."

"I won't, I definitely won't. I know what to do. Please, Mr. Chen, rest assured," Shen Qing bowed repeatedly, having long since lost the appearance of a Sect Master.

"Good. Rest here for now; tomorrow, we march on the Yunlu Abode," Chen Yu's tone was filled with murderous intent.

Qingshou Temple has developed well over the years, and Shen Qingfeng is a man who loves vanity, so he spent a great deal of wealth to make Qingshou Temple look like an earthly paradise.

This place is indeed excellent, and it backs onto Qingshan. The mountain range of Qingshan stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and the Spiritual Energy is pleasant. The reason why the ancestors of Qingshou Temple were able to produce experts is closely related to the Spiritual Energy of this place.

At night, Yu Sichen was practicing in a bamboo forest with good Spiritual Energy. Having just dispelled the Dark Power from her body, and combined with the cultivation technique Chen Yu gave her, she could be considered to have stepped onto the right path.

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Yu Sichen finished her meditation. She slowly opened her eyes and then looked vigilantly into the darkness: "Who is it? Come out."

Chen Yu slowly walked out from the shadows. He smiled slightly and said, "Your vigilance is quite high. You could spot where I was at a glance?"

"Brother Chen, it's you?" Yu Sichen stood up excitedly, ran over to hold Chen Yu's hand, and said with some embarrassment, "I wondered who it was."

"Haha, you have already stepped onto the right path. I see that your cultivation method has completely broken away from the mode of the Dark World," Chen Yu said with a slight smile.

"Yes, the power of the Ancestor Ghost has been completely refined. Coupled with some cultivation methods you gave me, I am now a Dharma Cultivator," Yu Sichen smiled. "But there is still a portion of Dark Power in my body that hasn't been removed yet."

"I need some time to completely transform this Dark Power into Original Power. When that time comes, I will be a true Dharma Cultivator."

"It doesn't matter, you can take your time," Chen Yu said. "Your progress is already very fast, far beyond my imagination."

"I still have to work hard, otherwise you will still have to take care of me," Yu Sichen raised her head, a shy expression appearing on her face. "I will strive not to hold you back."

"You're already doing very well. Not holding me back? You are still the Dragon Maiden who controls a God Sect. Whose influence is as large as yours right now?" Chen Yu laughed. "How is the situation over there?"

"It's fine. Because I am tainted with the aura of the Asura Dragon Lady, everyone there treats me as a god," Yu Sichen said. "They used to act recklessly, but now I am guiding them in the right direction. However, I don't know how long I can keep up the ruse."

"If you feel it's dangerous, don't go back," Chen Yu said.

"It's fine, they won't discover it for a while. They value faith extremely highly, and I am their god now," Yu Sichen smiled lightly, not taking the matter to heart at all.

"Even if you say that, you should still be careful. I am always a bit worried about you being alone in a foreign land," Chen Yu said.

"Brother Chen, are you concerned about me?" Yu Sichen smiled faintly.

"Of course I am concerned about you," Chen Yu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Where exactly is your focus?"

"My focus is on you. As long as you care about me, that is enough. Even if it were a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I would dare to descend," Yu Sichen held Chen Yu's hand.

Chen Yu sighed to himself. Yu Sichen is a pitiful person; she has a mother who is obsessed with having her marry into a wealthy family.

And when she was finally driven to a dead end, she was controlled by the Ancestor Ghost. Now, seeing her happy and not controlled by anyone, Chen Yu is naturally happy for her.

"There seems to be someone in that direction," Yu Sichen suddenly looked at the night sky in the distance. "They are ordinary people."

"I sensed it too," Chen Yu looked in that direction. Moreover, there was more than one person; some were chasing, and some were fleeing.

"Shall we go over and take a look?" Yu Sichen couldn't help but ask.

"Alright, let's go take a look," Chen Yu nodded, and together with Yu Sichen, they quietly left.

After the two left, Liu Ruxi poked her head out from the darkness. Watching their backs, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Honestly, she didn't know how to describe her mood. Yu Sichen is her best friend, and as for Chen Yu, her feelings were very complicated. She didn't know why, but seeing the two of them so close, she felt a subtle sensation in her heart.

It seemed to be a bit sour, a bit jealous.

Previously, she didn't think this feeling was jealousy, but now she had to admit that she was indeed jealous.

How could this be? She is a disciple of the Buddha, having lived two lifetimes, with One Qi Transforming into Three Lotuses. She had thought she had reached the realm of Buddha Face Buddha Heart and would never again be troubled by the affairs of the secular world, but she never expected that she still hadn't escaped this attachment.

"Jealous?" Just as she was lost in thought, Li Hongyu popped out from somewhere. His words almost scared Liu Ruxi's soul away.

"Senior, can you not be so elusive? It's very scary," Liu Lianxin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
