Chapter 1481: Self-Destruction of the Qi Sea

Yunzhong had a fierce personality; Li Hongyu had the grace of having taught him, but Qingsong had also shown him the grace of recognition over these years, so he found it difficult to abandon either loyalty or righteousness.

As he spoke, he suddenly gathered Primordial Qi into his right fist and struck his own chest with a heavy blow; the powerful Primordial Qi instantly destroyed his Qi Sea Dantian, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire Cultivation from that moment on flowing away to nothing.

"Junior Brother Zhong." Everyone was shocked; they had not expected that Yunzhong would actually end his path of cultivation in such a way.

Yunzhong knelt on one knee on the ground and laughed loudly: "Senior Brother Li, I am sorry."

"You didn't have to do this; you are so talented, why do this?" Li Hongyu said with some heartache.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help you." Yunzhong stood up slowly and retreated in dejection.

Yun Qing's expression was somewhat ugly; he exchanged a glance with Yun Zhitian—of the Six Great Elders, two had defected and one had destroyed his own Qi Sea Dantian, while the remaining one was a fence-sitter; it seemed the situation today was unfavorable for their side.

Relying on just the two of them, they were likely unable to cope; not to mention how strong Li Hongyu was, Chen Yu alone was an existence they could not afford to provoke.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense; although Yun Qing's side had three thousand disciples, compared to the few people on Chen Yu's side, they still seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.

"Senior Brother Li." Yun Zhitian spoke up: "Yunluju is your sect as well; isn't it a bit much for you to bring outsiders to attack your own sect?"

"How about this: you come with me to the main hall, and we can have a good talk with Sect Master Qingsong, so as to avoid us fellow disciples killing each other."

This move of Yunzhicang's was to advance by retreating, first separating this group of people and then breaking them one by one; it was considered a sinister move. The main hall was filled with Restrictions, and Qingsong had also painstakingly managed it over these years; if Li Hongyu and his fellow disciples went in, how could they possibly gain any advantage?

"Enough nonsense, if you want to fight, then let's begin. Listen clearly, disciples of Yunluju: Qingsong is unworthy of his position, lacking both merit and virtue, and is no longer fit to serve as Sect Master. Today, Senior Brother Li and I will purge Yunluju; all past faults of the disciples will not be pursued."

Li Yunshan's voice traveled far, shaking the entire Yunluju; the three thousand disciples in the square looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Shut up, take them down." Yun Qing was furious; he was Qingsong's number one lackey and had gained Qingsong's deep trust over the years. He knew that if he really let Li Yunshan and the others occupy Yunluju, there would definitely be no good outcome for him in the future, so he would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Form up." Seeing this situation, Yun Zhitian knew there was no more room for talk, so he simply tore off the mask and fought.

The three thousand disciples, in groups of ten, began to move, forming a massive formation on the square. With the three Yun elders in the formation, the situation was already very clear: to get through here, one had to break the formation first.

"Go." Li Hongyu's figure flashed, leaping ten zhang, and in the next second, he had already appeared within the formation.

The disciples in the Great Array immediately began to maneuver, and countless sword forces pressed toward Li Hongyu. Li Hongyu gestured with both hands, and the puppets at his waist immediately flew out of his hands.

Several puppets suddenly enlarged, weaving through the crowd; for a time, Primordial Qi flew everywhere. The commotion here immediately triggered the Mountain Protection Array of Yunluju; waves of brilliance rippled in all directions, and a huge protective shield covered the entire island.

The Mountain Protection Array formed by the three thousand disciples before them was like a single entity; in groups of ten, no matter which group one attacked, one would bear the combined power of all three thousand people.

Li Hongyu manipulated the puppets and broke two groups, but he was already feeling somewhat powerless behind them.

The situation of the others was no better; after all, these were ordinary disciples of Yunluju, and even if they were wrong, they were not the type to be guilty of heinous crimes, so they were somewhat restrained when they fought.

"Chen Yu, as long as the three people in the Array Base are eliminated, the Great Array will be broken." Liu Ruxi struck out with a palm, repelling several people.

"Help me, I will go into the formation to deal with those three." Chen Yu stared at Yun Qing and the others, his mind stirring.

"Good." Liu Ruxi nodded slightly; her right hand gestured, and a Green Lotus appeared in her hand. The Green Lotus rotated slowly in her hand; she gave a clear shout, raised both hands upward, and her hands continuously changed into Buddhist Hand Seals.

With a 'whoosh', a beam of brilliance shot into the sky; under the blessing of the massive Buddha Power, the green brilliance surged upward, covering the sky and the earth, and then countless lotus petals whistled away, directly carving out a path forward.

Wherever the Green Lotus went, screams were constant, and countless figures were sent flying to both sides; the green brilliance struck directly at the center of the Array Base.

However, just as it reached the side of the three Yun people at the Array Base, a scorching light shield appeared around them, blocking the Green Lotus's advance.

Liu Ruxi felt a chill in her heart and quickly withdrew the Buddhist Green Lotus, but even so, a massive force rebounded; her delicate body shook, and she retreated more than ten steps before stabilizing her figure.

However, the path she had opened was enough; Chen Yu stepped out, leaping a hundred zhang, and with a grab of his right hand, Lichen was already in his hand.

He held his breath and focused, massive Primordial Qi gathering and whistling around him; immediately after, he let out a violent shout, stepped forward, raised Lichen with both hands, and slashed at the Array Base directly in front of him.

With a 'hum', a Sword Radiance of over ten zhang condensed in that instant; between heaven and earth, a Sword Light trembled slightly, the sword force forming at the tip of the sword, striking toward the Array Base.

Hum... The entire square was silent for a moment, and then Sword Qi surged out, rebounding in all directions; the three people in the formation felt their bodies shake, and all of them spat out blood and were sent flying backward.

The Great Array was broken; as the three people in the Array Base were injured, the Yunluju disciples in the square all felt their minds shaken, and the ten-person formation was no longer effective. Li Yunshan's short sword swept out, quickly brushing aside the disciples in front of him; the two senior and junior brothers wove through the formation, and for a time, figures flew everywhere.

"Retreat..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Yun Qing gritted his teeth, looked at the others, and then retreated backward.

"Junior brothers, you haven't fought enough, and you're leaving?" Li Yunshan sneered, pointed his short sword forward, and his figure suddenly moved forward, attacking Yun Qing.

Yun Qing had no choice but to turn back and fight with Li Yunshan, while Li Hongyu stepped out, his figure whistling upward, heading toward the Lone Peak in Yunluju.

"Mr. Chen, go to the back mountain and deal with the Dream Weaver." Li Hongyu looked back and shouted to Chen Yu.

"Understood." Chen Yu nodded, his figure rising from the ground and darting toward the back mountain.

The island where Yunluju was located had layers of mountains, and in the back mountain, there was a Purple Bamboo Forest, which was a forbidden area of Yunluju.
