Chapter 1486: Coveting Glory and Wealth

Even though he had said that past matters would be let bygones be bygones, Yun Qing must die, because he had already touched Li Yunshan's bottom line.

"Yunlu Abode is certainly going to change masters, but I don't care who becomes the sect leader, I will still be an Elder." Yun Qing began to negotiate his terms: "Moreover, my actions will not be subject to any constraints; whatever I was like in the sect before, I will be like in the future."

"It seems Qingsong hasn't let you enjoy few benefits these years; look at what you've been raised into? In cultivation, the greatest taboo is to covet glory and wealth." Li Yunshan said coldly: "Have you forgotten the teachings you received when you entered the sect?"

"Heh, what is the point of following those doctrines? In this world, Spiritual Energy is almost non-existent; for most people, cultivation is just a way to extend their lifespan and possess power." Yun Qing laughed loudly: "Anyway, since one can't break through the limit in the end, why not enjoy it properly?"

"Heh, alright then, tell me, how are you enjoying yourself now? Or rather, how much do you have down the mountain?" Li Yunshan smiled.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you: sixteen luxury mansions, more than thirty women, dozens of company bosses are my disciples; with a casual toss, hundreds of billions are there." Yun Qing laughed: "We cultivate so hard, it's not as good as enjoying ourselves, don't you think?"

"Good, having cultivated for so long, you still can't let go of these worldly things; how could a person like you become an Elder of Yunlu Abode?" Li Yunshan was completely puzzled: "And how much of what you possess was obtained uprightly?"

"It was all obtained uprightly. In the secular world, those with money and power simply want to get to know people like us who are like Immortals." Yun Qing sneered: "As long as I display a little bit of my divine ability, those people scramble to send money to me."

"Of course, when they encounter problems, I have to help them. Secular matters, if one wants to solve them, are just a matter of a wave of the hand, it's that simple." Yun Qing laughed: "So for people like us, if we want to enjoy ourselves, we will never be lacking."

"Violating morality and slaughtering fellow disciples—do you think I will still talk to you?" Li Yunshan sneered.

"You just said that past matters would be let bygones be bygones; are you going to go back on your word now?" Yun Qing said angrily.

"That's right, I'm going back on it." Li Yunshan sneered: "A person like you is not worthy of living in this world, so I will personally send you on your way."

"Li Yunshan, you are untrustworthy." Yun Qing's expression changed drastically.

"Heh, for a person like you who betrays trust, what kind of trustworthiness should I speak of?" Li Yunshan said coldly: "In order to keep your secrets from leaking, you even slaughtered fellow disciples; can a person like you be spared?"

"I only did it to ensure my own interests; don't give me that righteous look in front of me. Don't I know what kind of person you are? If you hadn't failed in your attempt to seize power back then, would you be any different from Qingsong now?"

"I am different from him." Li Yunshan shook his head slightly and said: "Even if I had become the sect leader, our Yunlu Abode would not be like this. There is no comparability between people."

"Bullshit! You people, relying on your own strength, can do whatever you want and act recklessly." Yun Qing sneered: "You are no better than him."

"Say what you will." Li Yunshan shook his head slightly, raised the short sword in his hand, and pointed it at Yun Qing: "Perhaps you could break your own Cultivation yourself, and I will spare your Life, how about that?"

"You motherfucker, don't even think about it." Yun Qing roared hysterically: "Li Yunshan, if I fight you with my Life, you might not necessarily be able to beat me by much. If you don't believe me, let's try."

"You really think too highly of yourself; the gap between you and me cannot be solved by fighting with one's life." Li Yunshan smiled slightly: "If you don't believe me, then come at me. Honestly, a person like you, I really haven't put you in my eyes."

"All these years, you have been coveting pleasure, and your strength hasn't improved much compared to thirty years ago, while I have sat in Bitter Zen for more than thirty years. I have long since broken through what needed to be broken through. Do you think there is any comparability between the two of us?"

"Then let's try." Yun Qing had a ferocious grin on his face; he held the Green Edge Sword horizontally, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, and a trace of Primordial Qi was infused into the sword body. With a soft shout, he slowly attacked Li Yunshan.

"How many years has it been? Is this still your only move?" Watching the slow-moving Yun Qing, Li Yunshan couldn't help but smile.

Although Yun Qing's movements were very slow, what he was performing was his most proficient Tengyun Sword Style. Although this sword style looked slow, in fact, it hid murderous intent; Yun Qing became famous thirty years ago because of this sword style.

Although he had been coveting pleasure all these years and his progress was not fast, his Tengyun Sword had not fallen behind.

"To kill you, it is enough." Yun Qing stared at him coldly, then slowly took a step forward, the sword in his hand closing in on him.

"Alright then, since this is the Tengyun Sword Style you are so proud of, then I will use this same sword style to destroy you, so that you die convinced and willing." Li Yunshan smiled.

He also slowly raised the sword in his hand and countered. Now the two were trading blows, fighting intensely. Their movements were not very fast, and it could be said that it had nothing to do with the duels between experts in the Cultivation World.

Their movements were just like old men and old women doing Tai Chi in the park, with no threat at all.

But with every sword strike from the two, a sword shadow would be left in mid-air. This sword shadow was composed of the two's Sword Qi, condensed in mid-air, and would not dissipate for a long time.

The two traded sword for sword; if it were an outsider, they would really think the two were just playing around.

As the two waved the swords in their hands, the brilliance condensed from Sword Qi around them became more and more. These Sword Qi condensed in mid-air like a mass of mist, taking a long time to slowly dissipate, but both of them would avoid the Sword Qi condensed in mid-air, fearing they would touch it.

As the battle went on longer, Yun Qing began to grow anxious. The sword style in his hand accelerated continuously, and it felt quite desperate, while Li Yunshan continued to wave the sword in his hand unhurriedly, showing not a ripple of emotion toward the enemy's increasingly fast sword style.

Gradually, Yun Qing's physical strength began to fail. His face flushed red, and his Primordial Qi could no longer keep up.

The more he fought with Li Yunshan, the more anxious he became. He also knew clearly that he had been coveting pleasure all these years and had fallen far behind Li Yunshan in cultivation.
