Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 741: Observations and Experiences

After a brief moment of joy, the flowers and green leaves dancing in the sky quietly fell, and the magical treasure, the Golden Jade Ring, was also put away by everyone.

Yan Qun'er suddenly stopped smiling, as if she thought of something important. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke up:

"Senior Brother, your master, Elder Li Changkong, was unfortunately severely injured during a duel of magic with the demonic race twenty years ago."

"Although he was rescued by fellow cultivators from immediate danger, due to the severity of his injuries, he ultimately succumbed shortly after."

"I see." Liu Yu nodded, his expression unchanged as he stared into the campfire, saying nothing more.

At this moment, he felt calmer than he had imagined.

After all, as a registered disciple, his connection with the Affordable Master was not very close, nor was there any emotional bond.

After condensing the golden core, that master-disciple relationship had already begun to fracture, existing only in name.

When Liu Yu traveled far, he would just say a polite hello, nothing more.

It was precisely because of this that he felt even calmer upon hearing the news of the Affordable Master’s demise.

As a registered disciple, Liu Yu didn't have to bear much obligation to mourn his passing; taking care of his direct bloodline would be seen as sufficient compassion.

However, to avoid appearing too callous, he still put on an act, displaying a tinge of sadness.

"The death of the Affordable Master might not necessarily be a bad thing for me at this time."

"In this way, the ties with the Li Clan have suddenly lessened greatly."

"When I return to the sect and take action against the Li Clan, I won’t have to carry any burdens."

Liu Yu remained calm, this thought flashed through his mind.

Because of Master Changfeng's presence, the Li Clan, as the first family within the sect, undoubtedly held much of its power.

If he wanted to seize control of the sect, the Li Clan was undoubtedly the first obstacle to remove.

And because of the Affordable Master’s status, taking action hastily could lead to a bad reputation, being pointed at by thousands.

Now that the Affordable Master had fallen, the original ties no longer existed, and taking action against the Li Clan suddenly had much less hesitation.

Of course, Liu Yu always prioritized his interests. Even if the Affordable Master Li Changkong was still alive, he wouldn’t refrain from acting.

In the face of cold interests, any master-disciple bond or friendship among sect members seemed trivial.

For that reason, even if he had to bear the reputation of "great treachery," it would all be worth it.

After all, history is written by the victors; as long as the timeline is extended, spanning over a hundred years, the true events can be freely altered.

Everything is the result of weighing pros and cons.

Under the glow of the campfire, the two engaged in conversation, recounting the events of these years.

Following the Affordable Master’s demise, Yan Qun'er revealed another heavy piece of news.

That is, the "Heavenly Wind Ancestor," the pillar of stability for their sect, was also seriously injured in a duel of magic against a fourth-order demonic king and was currently in seclusion to heal.

The real situation remained unknown, but there were already many rumors in the market that claimed the Heavenly Wind Ancestor’s injuries were severe and he might face a risk of passing away.

"What?"

"Even the Ancestor..."

Upon hearing this news, Liu Yu was extremely surprised.

He truly hadn’t expected that even the Heavenly Wind Ancestor, a formidable yuan ying mid-stage cultivator, would be seriously injured and required to close himself off for healing.

Although the actual situation might not be as severe as rumored, the Heavenly Wind Ancestor, as the pillar of stability, if anything were to happen to him without new yuan ying cultivators being born, the entire sect would immediately be thrown into turmoil.

In the currently unstable cultivation world, the reason the sect could still remain safe and sound was largely due to the contributions of the Heavenly Wind Ancestor.
