Chapter 1485: The Problem at Yunlu Residence

"Alright, let's begin." Zhenwu nodded slightly, took a deep breath, held his blade vertically, and looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu also gripped Lichen tightly in his hand; he knew that the person before him could be called a formidable enemy, and he had to focus his spirit to respond.

The situation at Yunlu Residence was already in total chaos; it was an internal struggle, and a portion of the disciples soon gave up resistance. After all, this was a battle between Immortals, and they, as ordinary disciples, could just watch the excitement.

Moreover, Qingsong was poor at recruiting disciples, looking mostly at aptitude and not examining morality or conduct, so once trouble arose at Yunlu Residence, most people would likely flee directly.

Li Yunshan was facing two Elders, Yun Qing and Yun Zhitian, alone; the two of them combined could indeed defeat Li Yunshan by quite a margin.

However, these two Elders had lived in luxury within the sect for these years, and their cultivation relied on the support of Heavenly Treasures, not like Li Yunshan, who had sat in Bitter Zen for decades, cultivating step by step.

Therefore, their Dao Heart had fallen to a lower level, and the two were chased all over the mountain by Li Yunshan.

By the seaside, the two stopped, both gripping their Dharma Artifacts tightly in their hands; they stared fixedly at Li Yunshan, panting heavily.

"If you two really can't fight anymore, then discard your swords and surrender," Li Yunshan said with some helplessness. "I haven't even used my true strength, look at how I've already forced you two to this point."

"Shut up, Li Yunshan, don't get too smug; you are nothing but a sinner who has been locked away for decades," Yun Zhitian raged.

"Yes, I am a sinner who has been locked away for decades, and I can no longer be considered the orthodoxy of Yunlu Residence," Li Yunshan smiled slightly. "But a person like me has forced you two Elders to this point; shouldn't you reflect on yourselves?"

The remark left the two speechless. Yun Qing said coldly, "Li Yunshan, what exactly do you want? No matter what, we are all fellow disciples; there is no need to be so aggressive to this extent, right?"

"Right, we are all fellow disciples, but when have you ever cared about our fellowship?" Li Yunshan laughed. "Let's not talk about feelings now, and let's not play the emotional card; either you two surrender, or we continue to fight."

"However, I won't hold back from here on out; I didn't use my full strength just now."

"Don't get too smug," Yun Qing said coldly. "It is impossible for us to surrender."

"Why don't you talk about terms?" Li Yunshan smiled. "Chasing you two around, I also feel quite tired. You state your terms, and if we can avoid fighting, then we won't."

Yun Zhitian couldn't help but glance at Yun Qing; to be honest, he was tempted, and he truly didn't want to fight anymore because it was just too exhausting.

The atmosphere in the sect had been too poor these years; there were no real experts, only those who liked to flatter and fawn, so he knew the current situation, and there was no meaning in it anymore.

"Don't even think about it. Junior Brother Tian, the two of us will fight this grandson to the death. I don't believe that we, two great Elders, can't even beat one little Li Yunshan," Yun Qing said coldly.

"Senior Brother Qing, do we really have to keep fighting? We are all fellow disciples; there is really no meaning in continuing to fight like this," Yun Zhitian sighed. "Let's just talk it over properly."

"Talk? You had a part in framing Senior Brother Hongyu back then; if we let him become the Sect Leader, will we have any way to survive?" Yun Qing said coldly. "And do you have no idea why Li Yunshan was defeated?"

Yun Zhitian's expression changed; indeed, he had participated in those matters. If Li Yunshan and Li Hongyu took control of the big picture, how could they possibly let him go? So, for now, they could only fight to the death.

"I can choose not to pursue your past actions, as long as you put down the swords in your hands and gather the disciples of the sect, telling them not to resist. No matter what, they are also disciples of our Yunlu Residence; too many injuries will benefit no one."

"Really, Senior Brother? You can really let bygones be bygones regarding our past?" Yun Zhitian was delighted.

"What I say, I will not pursue, I definitely will not pursue," Li Yunshan nodded. "When have you ever seen me tell a lie?"

"Heh, don't you dare believe his nonsense. They went through so much trouble to fight their way back to Yunlu Residence, isn't it just for revenge?" Yun Qing said coldly. "Junior Brother Tian, you know in your heart how Sect Leader Qingsong has treated you all these years, right? Do you really want to be an ungrateful person?"

Yun Zhitian remained silent. He also didn't believe Li Yunshan would not pursue his past actions, and besides, he had grown accustomed to the benefits here over the years; if Li Hongyu were to take charge, he would certainly return to the austere life of the past, which was something he was unwilling to do.

Although the situation was unfavorable for them now, they might not necessarily suffer a total collapse, so for now, they still had the strength to fight.

"Li Yunshan, we have nothing to talk about. If you want to fight, then let's have a proper fight; stop the nonsense," Yun Zhitian said coldly.

"Junior Brother Tian, are you still so easily deceived?" Li Yunshan sighed slightly and said, "Do you really believe Yun Qing's words? Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"Heh, I don't need you to remind me what kind of person I am; Junior Brother Tian naturally knows," Yun Qing sneered. "Junior Brother Tian, let's fight him to the death."

"Alright." Yun Zhitian nodded; he grabbed the weapon in his hand and was about to act.

But just at this moment, a sharp pain struck his back, and immediately after, a sword tip emerged from his chest.

His vitality was instantly destroyed by the sword; his eyes widened, and he turned back in disbelief, staring fixedly at Yun Qing: "Yun Qing, you..."

Yun Qing casually withdrew the sword, and Yun Zhitian fell to the ground with a thud; he died without knowing why, and until his death, he did not understand why Yun Qing had killed him.

"Yun Qing, you..." Li Yunshan was also taken aback; he never expected Yun Qing to be so ruthless, and he also didn't understand what the other party was trying to do.

"Senior Brother Li, let's talk," Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief. "This person knew too many things, so he had to die."

"Are there any unspeakable matters you are hiding from me?" Li Yunshan stared at him.

"Heh, given Qingsong's character, do you think there are few unspeakable matters in the sect?" Yun Qing laughed. "Many things cannot see the light of day. Since you said you would let bygones be bygones regarding the past, then let's not dwell on what happened in the past, shall we?"

"Hmm, so what do you want?" Li Yunshan stared at Yun Qing, killing intent already appearing in his eyes.
