Chapter 1480: Breaking the Exotic Beast

"These things are just enough to restrain your power, but don't worry," Chen Yu said slowly. "I will solve it for you."

"These are ancient exotic beasts of the Cloud Hut, reinforced by an Array, and they even contain the remnants of beast souls inside. This young lady's power is not orthodox, so it happens to suppress her power. These things are not easy to break," Yun Wu kindly reminded him.

Although he was now standing on the same front as Chen Yu and the others, he was still quite proud when mentioning the things of the Cloud Hut; after all, these were things from his own sect.

"It is nothing more than some Mind Power and Mental Power reinforcement," Chen Yu sneered. "It's nothing new; it can be broken."

Chen Yu stepped forward and stood in the middle of the square. For a moment, Primordial Qi circulated endlessly in his body, and his Divine Sense was also raised to the limit in this instant.

He said loudly, "Junior Chen Yu has come to pay a visit to the experts of the Cloud Hut. I ask Daoist Qingsong to appear and meet me."

Chen Yu's voice was like a thunderclap, spreading far away, and the dozen or so exotic beasts in front of the square that were reinforced by the Array seemed to have been struck by an invisible sound wave.

Bang, bang, bang—the heads of the several fierce beasts in front of him exploded one by one, and the originally tidy square now appeared in a mess.

Yun Wu shut his mouth obediently, because everything before his eyes had far exceeded his cognition, and even more so his Cultivation.

Chen Yu's power far exceeded his; things he could not do were done by Chen Yu with ease, so he had no choice but to honestly shut his mouth.

Yu Sichen looked at Chen Yu with gratitude. Without the threat of the exotic beasts before her, she felt much more relaxed.

"Who is it that dares to act presumptuously in our Cloud Hut?" Following a violent shout, a figure flashed, and four figures descended from the sky, landing in the square.

These four Elders were the only four remaining in the Cloud Hut, with Yun Qing as the leader. Immediately behind them, more than three hundred elite disciples of the Cloud Hut followed, and the entire square was packed densely.

"Aren't you asking something you already know?" Chen Yu sneered. "You are all acting like you are facing a formidable enemy recently; isn't it just to wait for us?"

The leading Yun Qing's expression was somewhat ugly. It was not his first time dealing with Chen Yu, and the last time they met, Chen Yu had even beaten him until he vomited blood. Now that he suddenly encountered Chen Yu, it would be strange if his mood were good.

"Elder Wu, Elder Xi, are you two planning to defect from the Cloud Hut?" Yun Qing turned his gaze to the two Elders of his own sect and asked in a questioning tone.

"We dare not," Yunxi bowed slightly and said. "We would never dare to forget the ancestral teachings of the sect."

"Then what is the meaning of you coming here with outsiders to force the palace?" Yun Qing sneered. "You have even brought people to the gates of your own sect; do you still dare to say you are not rebelling?"

"Senior Brother Qing, we have returned only to clean up the sect of the Cloud Hut, because we are now deviating further and further from our original intentions. The actions of Sect Leader Qingsong have already violated the ancestral teachings and morality, so we are here today to ask him to step down."

"Heh, you turncoats, it is rare to see someone describe betrayal so elegantly," Yun Qing laughed out of extreme anger. He said coldly, "No matter what, staying with traitors is betrayal. If you change your mind now, I can punish you lightly."

"If you continue to be so obsessed and refuse to come to your senses, don't blame me for disregarding the camaraderie of fellow disciples," Yun Qing said sternly.

"Shut up, who is a traitor? Am I a traitor? Yun Qing, back then in the Cloud Hut, you were the most despicable one. Heh, it was just because you knew how to suck up to Qingsong that you helped him quite a bit when he was eliminating dissidents all those years. Now you have turned around and become the head of the Six Great Elders."

Li Yunshan sneered, "To have such a high and mighty attitude now is truly ironic."

"Li Yunshan? Heh, if you hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have recognized you. You violated our sect rules; if you aren't a traitor, what are you?" Yun Qing sneered. "It seems that locking you up for thirty years and making you sit in Bitter Zen for thirty years still hasn't corrected your bad habits."

"Shut up. Back then, you and Qingsong colluded to frame me. Now you are truly a villain who has gained power," Li Yunshan was furious. "Don't worry, I will settle the old grudges and accounts with you all at once."

"You brought a few rabble to come to the Cloud Hut to stir up trouble? You really have a way," Yun Qing sneered. "Do you not know how powerful your sect is?"

"Haha, rabble?" Li Hongyu laughed loudly. "Easily eliminating dissidents and being jealous of talent—how many true experts are left in the Cloud Hut now?"

"Senior Brother Li?" The expressions of these few Elders changed slightly.

They might not care about others, but Li Hongyu was different, because when they first entered the sect, it was Li Hongyu who taught them on behalf of their master.

It could be said that one-third of the Cultivation of the Six Great Elders came from Li Hongyu.

This was also the reason why, even though Li Hongyu had been locked up for decades, he still had such prestige in the Cloud Hut.

"Senior Brother Yun, I didn't expect that I would still be able to see you," an Elder named Yunzhong said with an excited expression. "They said... you had turned into a Demon. I never believed it."

"Haha, Junior Brother Yun, the reason you are called Zhong (Loyal) is because when you entered the sect, I saw that you were loyal and honest," Li Hongyu said with a smile. "So many years have passed, and you still haven't changed. Among these people, you are still the most loyal one. So, are you still going to wallow in the mire with them?"

"I am not willing to wallow in the mire with them, but I want to know what exactly happened back then," Yunzhong took a deep breath.

"As for what happened back then, if you want to say it's complicated, it's not complicated. It's nothing more than Qingsong feeling that my existence threatened his grand plan to control the Cloud Hut. If I were here, the position of Sect Leader would never be his turn," Li Hongyu said. "That is why the news of me turning into a Demon came out. In fact, I was locked by him in the Blood Spring for decades."

"If I hadn't realized some truths during these decades and used another consciousness to suffer the punishment for me, I am afraid I would have truly turned into a Demon by now," Li Hongyu said.

"Is that so?" Yunzhong stared at Yun Qing. "When you came to lobby me back then, it wasn't like this."

"Yunzhong, you must know your position," Yun Zhitian shouted. "Now you are an Elder of the Cloud Hut, and everything you possess now was given to you by the Sect Leader. Do you intend to be ungrateful?"

"I, Yunzhong, am naturally not an ungrateful person, but I dare not forget the grace of Senior Brother Li Hongyu's teaching, and it is also a fact that Qingsong is treacherous and eliminates dissidents," Yunzhong shouted. "Loyalty and righteousness are hard to have both, so I will cut off my own Cultivation and destroy my own Qi Sea Dantian. Today, let this be considered as repaying the debt to both sides."
