Chapter 1493: I Am Different
"Junior Brother, you actually had a chance to leave." Li Hongyu retracted his right hand, and the six puppets all returned to his side, hanging in a row at his waist.
Qingsong collapsed onto the ground; now that he had lost his Cultivation, he was at the point where his lamp was dry and the oil exhausted.
"Heh, that's right, I did have a chance to escape, but why didn't I escape? Senior Brother, don't you have any idea in your heart?" Qingsong raised his head and stared at Li Hongyu.
"Back then, I had absolutely no chance to take charge of the Cloud Hut Residence. I exhausted all my schemes to remove those who were capable of competing with me one by one, and only then did I finally get this opportunity. Do you think I would easily give up the Cloud Hut Residence now?"
Li Hongyu remained silent. It was true; although everything before him had been obtained through improper means, these were, after all, the lifeblood of Qingsong.
How could he possibly give up everything before him so easily? Therefore, even if he knew he might die, even if he had to stake his own Life, Qingsong had to hold onto the empire he had worked so hard to build.
"I am not like you. You are the Senior Brother, favored by the elders of the sect, and you possess heaven-sent talent. If you were willing, the position of Sect Leader would fall into your hands easily even if you didn't fight for it, but I am different." Qingsong raised his head and let out a long breath.
"So these things were extremely hard-won for me. Since I have obtained them, how could I possibly let go so easily?"
"The path you are walking is, in itself, a wrong path." Li Yunshan, who was to the side, spoke up. He said coldly: "To ascend to power, you stop at nothing. Your elders, your Senior Brothers, were persecuted by you one by one."
"As long as someone stood in your way, you would eliminate them. So this hard-won status of yours is nothing more than stepping on others to get to the top." Li Yunshan sneered: "Don't act as if you are so inspirational."
"That was also something I obtained through hard work. Even if I die, I must hold onto all of this." Qingsong raised his head, scanned the area, and then hissed: "I am not reconciled. I am truly not reconciled."
A Talisman had already appeared in his hand. This Talisman was made of animal hide, and the blood-colored patterns on it were drawn with the blood of an ancient exotic beast.
Seeing this Talisman, everyone's expression could not help but change. This was the Baisha Talisman, which was related to the seal of the Dream Weaver. If Qingsong crushed this Talisman, the seal of the Dream Weaver would loosen.
"Qingsong, what are you doing? The grievances between us cannot harm the innocent, and the Dream Weaver sealed by our sect cannot be released." Li Hongyu shouted in a deep voice.
"Haha, you have forced me to this point, what else is there that I cannot do? Li Hongyu, remember, all of this was forced by you." As Qingsong spoke, he gritted his teeth and crushed the Talisman in his hand into fragments.
With a 'whoosh', the sky full of paper ash carrying firelight scattered in all directions.
Qingsong laughed like a madman: "You all must die... I want you to be buried with me."
Everyone's face turned ashen. The Dream Weaver, an existence that even the gods found troublesome in the ancient times, had just been released like this. If so, this world would become a complete mess.
However, after Qingsong crushed this Talisman, there was no change in the surroundings. He raised his head in confusion and looked toward the direction of the valley.
"Don't hold onto any lucky thoughts. I have already placed the Blocking Stone, and they have already fallen into a deep sleep." A figure walked over slowly; it was Chen Yu.
"It's you?" Qingsong looked at Chen Yu, gritting his teeth; his eyes were almost spitting fire.
He felt that everything was caused by Chen Yu. If it weren't for Chen Yu, perhaps the Cloud Hut Residence would not have had today's upheaval.
But hate as he might, he still had no way to deal with Chen Yu, because now he had lost his momentum, like a stray dog.
"That's right, it's me. I think you have already been impatient to see me, right?" Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I just went to do something important. Otherwise, if you had released all the Dream Weavers, that would have been truly troublesome."
Qingsong stared fixedly at Chen Yu, but was helpless.
"Senior, let me talk to him." Chen Yu said to Li Hongyu: "There are some things I still need to convey to him."
"Alright." Li Hongyu nodded and left with the others, leaving enough space for Chen Yu and Qingsong.
"Are you here to humiliate me before I die?" Qingsong raised his head and stared fixedly at Chen Yu.
"Of course not. A person about to die is just that; I have no need to humiliate you, because it's not worth it." Chen Yu shook his head: "I came here merely to bring you a few words."
"Words that Dragon Breath asked you to bring to me?" Qingsong stared coldly at Chen Yu.
"It seems you have an idea in your heart." Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh. He nodded and said: "Exactly right, it is the words Dragon Breath asked me to bring to you. As for why the Cloud Hut Residence became like this, I think you should know why in your heart, right?"
"Heh, it's nothing more than the fact that my existence has already threatened Dragon Breath." Qingsong laughed: "They fear me, so they sent someone to solve me."
"It seems you are very clear about it." Chen Yu sneered: "Before, I only thought your hands reached too far, but today I realized that not only do your hands reach too far, you are simply insane."
Yes, before this, Chen Yu thought that the reason the Cloud Hut Residence was targeted by Dragon Breath was because Qingsong's hands reached too far. But meeting Qingsong today, Chen Yu realized it wasn't like that at all.
Qingsong didn't just have hands that reached too far; he was simply deranged. From his words, it was not hard for Chen Yu to see that he wanted to replace Dragon Breath.
How many years has Dragon Breath existed? It could be said that it is a pillar of the sea for Huaxia. If Dragon Breath were not there, foreign races with special abilities would have long since swarmed in.
Now Qingsong is actually having delusional thoughts, wanting to replace Dragon Breath? Is he crazy?
"Why should Dragon Breath be able to have everything? If they can, I can too." Qingsong shouted: "It's just that I didn't expect their actions to be so fast. I don't blame anyone for falling to this point today; it's that I wasn't prepared myself. If I could do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."
"It seems you are not just crazy, you are simply deranged." Chen Yu looked at him gloomily: "Fine then, since things have reached this point, do you have anything else to say?"
"I have nothing to say. You are here to kill me, right? Less nonsense, do it." Qingsong sneered, raising his head to stare at Chen Yu.
"Their intention is indeed for you to die, but I don't want to do it. Qingsong, if you still want to maintain a bit of your own dignity, then do it yourself." Chen Yu looked at Qingsong with sympathy.
