Chapter 1479: Yunlu Abode Sea Area

"Yes, it is despicable enough, acting one way to people's faces and another behind their backs. Master once spoke of him back then, saying that Qingsong was not a person to be given great responsibility, but I didn't pay attention at the time. If I had listened to Master's words even a little, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. All of this is still my fault," Li Hongyu sighed.

"Senior Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. Aren't we back now?" Li Yunshan smiled slightly and said, "Since Qingsong dared to start this, we might as well show him what we can do in return."

Li Hongyu nodded. He pondered for a moment and said, "Junior Brother, remember, we are not returning this time to commit massacres, but to purge Yunlu Abode. So, when it is time to show mercy, you must be sure to show mercy."

"I know, Senior Brother. Our main goal is to force him to abdicate. As long as he steps down, everything else is easy to talk about," Li Yunshan nodded slightly.

Just at this moment, a huge wave surged over. This giant wave was dozens of meters high, sweeping over from the distance and blotting out the sky. This small boat seemed just like a leaf, appearing extremely tiny in front of this giant wave.

Chen Yu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the giant wave before him. Even though his Dao Heart was firm, he still couldn't help but feel a bit terrified when he saw this wave surging over.

"Rest assured, this giant wave is merely an illusion. The island where Yunlu Abode is located is unknown to the world, so they use some false appearances to drive away those who accidentally enter. This giant wave is just to scare people," Li Hongyu laughed.

"I know, but this wave is too realistic," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "After passing the giant wave, the place behind it is Yunlu Abode, right?"

"Correct, it is behind there," Li Yunshan narrowed his eyes. "I haven't been back in decades. I didn't expect Qingsong to have made no progress at all, hehe..."

As they spoke, the giant wave arrived in an instant. With a 'whoosh', the massive spray of water that blotted out the sky surged toward the small boat, and then, with overwhelming momentum, submerged the entire boat within it.

But this giant wave before them flashed by in an instant, and immediately after, a brand-new sea area appeared before everyone's eyes.

This place was calm and tranquil, the sea surface was azure, and there was not the slightest bit of wind or waves; the water was like a flat lake. At the limit of their vision, a small island was vaguely visible.

Although it was far away, the magnificent aura radiating from the small island brought people an unprecedented sense of shock.

"Yunlu Abode, we... are back." Li Hongyu's eyes shot out sharp glints as he stared at the island in the distance, his palm slowly pushing outward behind him.

A stream of Primordial Qi surged from his palm, driving the small boat that everyone was riding to dash forward rapidly.

Inside Yunlu Abode, everyone was now in a state of panic.

Qingsong summoned the remaining four Elders to discuss matters in the main hall. Everyone's expression was somewhat grim because the crisis Yunlu Abode was currently facing was unprecedented.

"Li Hongyu has really returned?" Yun Qing shouted in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, what should we do next?"

"They have come so quickly," Qingsong muttered. "The ambushes we set along the way were of no use against them. Shouguan Temple has fallen, Xuanmiao Temple has been wiped out. Li Hongyu, your methods are becoming increasingly swift and decisive."

Qingsong turned around abruptly and said coldly, "Summon all the disciples of the sect and prepare for a bloody battle."

"They are only a few people, so we don't actually need to be this panicked," Yun Zhitian said. "Sect Leader, should I take some people to test their true strength first?"

"They are indeed only a few people, but every one of them is an expert. Although we have many disciples under our name, there are few who are actually capable," a Daoist spoke up. He was Yunjue, one of the Six Great Elders. He stood up and said, "Letting our disciples go up would just be cannon fodder. Sect Leader, I suggest we have a good talk with them first."

"What is there to talk about? Things have reached this point, there is nothing left to say. Li Hongyu dares to bring people to attack Yunlu Abode, it is nothing more than betraying his master and destroying his ancestors," Yun Qing said coldly. "There is no need to be so polite to him."

"We are all from the same sect; Li Hongyu might not necessarily start a massacre in our sect," Yun Zhitian said. "I think we should still focus on talking."

"Are you afraid?" Yun Qing stared at Yun Zhitian.

"This has nothing to do with being afraid. I just want to minimize our casualties as much as possible. Hehe, when have you ever seen me afraid?" Yun Zhitian sneered.

"Alright, there is no need to argue anymore," Qingsong stood firm in the main hall. "You all go meet them first. If you can talk, then talk. If you can't, then take action. I will stay here and think things over."

"Yes, Sect Leader." The four stood up, bowed slightly to Qingsong, and then left one by one.

Qingsong stood with his hands behind his back in the main hall, looking at the spirit tablets of the ancestors of past generations, and remained silent for a long time.

With a beckon of his right hand, a sword hanging from a giant pillar in the main hall suddenly flew into his hand. He slowly drew the sword from its scabbard.

This was a sword that looked quite excellent. The hilt was engraved with pine patterns, and as soon as the sword left the scabbard, it emitted waves of chill.

This was Qingsong's personal sword, Green Dragon.

This sword had been with him for a long time, but he hadn't used it for nearly thirty years. Now, there were faint spots of rust on the blade.

He casually picked up a cloth and slowly wiped the blade. A moment later, the blade was incomparably bright. He wiped his right hand across the edge of the sword, flicked his hand, and thrust the sword forward; a faint dragon's roar sounded from the blade.

Looking at the sword in his hand, he appeared very satisfied. Then he casually sheathed the sword, curled his right hand, took a step, and his body soared into the air, flying directly out of the main hall.

The small boat had reached the edge of Yunlu Abode. Li Hongyu took the lead and stepped onto the island. Directly in front was a huge plaza. The plaza was paved with white Jade, and surrounded by several ancient exotic beasts carved from bluestone.

The small plaza alone contained over a dozen arrays of various sizes to guard the residence and ward off evil.

Moreover, as everyone stepped onto the island, the eyes of these exotic beasts slowly lit up, and faint green light radiated from their eyes. Everything before them gave people a tremendous sense of impact.

And these giant beasts standing before the crowd seemed as if they were about to come to life, ready to pounce on people at any moment.

Si Chen's brows were tightly locked. The Dark Power within her body had not been completely eliminated, but the shocking power radiated by these giant beasts before her had a very strong impact on her.

Chen Yu gently held her hand and channeled a wisp of Original Power to her. Only then did Si Chen let out a sigh of relief.

Although Qingsong was not a good person, Yunlu Abode was the orthodox Daoist school. For Si Chen, whose power came entirely from Dark Power, even though she had now stepped onto the right path, the orthodox power still exerted a strong suppression on her.
