Chapter 753: The Great Way of Yuan Ying (Part 2)
The display of strength in the sect hall temporarily intimidated the elders, but it also left significant repercussions.
Although they were wary of Liu Yu's powerful abilities and dared not openly confront him, there were still numerous covert actions taking place behind the scenes.
For instance, they took advantage of their familiarity with the sect's rules to secretly set traps for the cultivators aligned with the Qingyang faction, or they directly approached Shishu Tianfeng to accuse Qingyangzi of being lawless.
However, all these covert maneuvers were easily resolved by Liu Yu, as he was not fighting alone. Centered around himself, he had a vested interest group backing him.
Despite some dissatisfaction, these Golden Core old foxes, who had lived for several hundred years, were not foolish enough to walk a road of no return.
While they quietly stirred up trouble, they also subtly tried to befriend him.
This way, they wouldn't suffer a complete defeat.
Of course, Liu Yu saw through these actions clearly, but he chose to treat the elders who reached out to him with a degree of tolerance.
After all, this was about uniting the majority to suppress the minority.
Although he was powerful, he was still temporarily restricted by the sect's rules and could not act recklessly.
However, those Golden Core elders who firmly stood on the opposing side were naturally met with thunderous suppression.
As for complaints directed at Liu Yu from the side of Shishu Tianfeng, they all fell like stones into the sea.
No matter how many times the Golden Core elders reported, they received no response.
Even the few elders who were disciples of Tianfeng were suppressed and showed no willingness to stand up, their attitudes being quite ambiguous.
As time passed, the tacit approval from Shishu Tianfeng allowed most of the elders to clearly see the situation and eventually lean fully towards Liu Yu.
In just a few short years, a massive shift had occurred within the Yuan Yang Sect, from the Golden Core elders all the way down to the outer sect disciples.
He Rulong and Jin Wenhao personally visited two years after the "Elders' Meeting," and their words conveyed a sense of concession.
In fact, there was no need for Liu Yu to take action personally; the issue with Yan Qun'er was easily resolved!
Time passed quickly, and during the intense war between humans and demons, Liu Yu enjoyed a temporary peace after completing the tasks of the "Chang'an Plan."
Ten years slipped away just like that.
...
Ten years later.
On Qingyang Peak, in the training room.
On a plain meditation cushion, a tall figure clad in a black robe sat cross-legged, with azure spiritual light flickering continuously on his face.
This person was Liu Yu!
As he operated his cultivation technique, the spiritual pressure and aura emanating from him naturally rose slowly, progressing towards a higher peak.
"Boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The spiritual pressure filled the room, uncontrollably sweeping out in all directions, reducing various household items to powder under its force.
"Crack!"
Even the specially made floor cracked, revealing a series of shimmering array patterns beneath.
With the shockwave alone, the third-tier high-quality formation laid out for concealing noise and protecting against external threats was set into motion, rippling with circles of waves, like water disturbed.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, it seemed as if an invisible barrier was shattered, and the spiritual pressure emanating from Liu Yu surged up again.
Then, at an incredibly fast rate, it continued to ascend, gradually reaching levels beyond what ordinary Golden Core cultivators could fathom.
The rippling waves on the array's light barrier intensified, and as time passed, instead of diminishing, they grew even more vigorous.
"Crack!"
On the ground, cracks of all sizes spread out like a spiderweb.
Fortunately, as Liu Yu's cultivation technique operated, the terrifying spiritual pressure that filled the room gradually stabilized and ultimately vanished into thin air.
