Chapter 156 Collapse and Fracture

Shen Yu was not completely crazy yet. After his eyes were gouged out, he managed to regain some consciousness.

The imperial city of Yue was breached, and the Emperor of Yue escaped through a secret passage. Sheng State sent out shadow guards to hunt him down, and ordered all the guards and maids in the palace to be captured alive.

Shen Yu was blind. He groped along the wall and stumbled out in the chaos.

He remembered the way back to Chengyuan Mountain. If the road outside had not changed much in the past seven years, Shen Yu could also feel his way back.

He shouldn't have gone down the mountain, shouldn't have trusted Xuan Lin so easily, shouldn't have done so many wrong things... He wanted to go back.

Master... Shen Yu now only remembered the words that his master left for him before he left, that if he had nowhere to go, he could go back. Chengyuan Mountain was where he grew up, and Shen Yu knew that he didn't have much time left, so he wanted to go back there and stay for a while.

There was a pear tree in his yard, which he had planted when he was a child. It should be more than ten meters tall now. If Shen Yuruo could go back at the end of the month, he might be able to touch the fallen pear petals on the ground.

It would be fine to bury him there.

Shen Yu asked someone to give him a ride on the way. He passed through dense forests and crossed four or five mountain ranges before he finally crossed the border of Yue State.

Chengyuan Mountain is outside the chaotic world and is not under the jurisdiction of Yue and Sheng. Shen Yu walked up with a cane and smelled the moist air drifting down from Chengyuan Mountain on the way.

There is a mixture of strangeness and familiarity, which is slightly different from seven years ago.

Shen Yu came back to the place he had seen at the beginning. Nine thousand steps were stacked up in front of him, with nothing above him and cold air blowing in his face.

Shen Yu's vision went completely dark, and his breathing became disordered the moment he sensed those auras. His whole body was as cold as iron, and he controlled his strength and stepped onto the first step.

"Get out."

A harsh voice came from above, sounding like repression or anger, mixed with an irresistible meaning.

Shen Yu paused after hearing this. He looked up and felt that the voice sounded familiar.

"I told you to get out!"

A strong wind came from above, and Shen Yu was unable to dodge, and was knocked to the ground by the person above. The crutch in his hand broke in half, and the taste of blood surged in his throat.

He finally recognized the owner of the voice. Shen Yu's memory was confused, and he traced back through these overlapping and fragmented images and came to the original starting point.

This is the voice of the owner of the shadow building.

"Brother..." Shen Yu got up from the ground, blood oozing from the white bandage around his eyes. He struggled to move up the stone steps, "I want to see Master."

Mo Qianyu looked at him coldly: "Master doesn't want to see you, get lost."

Shen Yu pretended not to hear anything. He kept his lips together and continued walking forward: "Master didn't tell me, so what you said doesn't count."

Mo Qianyu grabbed his collar and threw him out. He suppressed his hatred and said with gritted teeth: "Wen Ruoyu, you still have the nerve to come back? Look at what Chengyuan Mountain has become now! You have hurt your brothers and sisters like this, and now you still want to see the master? You are not qualified to see him!"

Shen Yu's face was indifferent. He climbed up again, only to feel the fishy smell in his throat getting stronger and stronger: "Get out of the way, I want to see my master."

Mo Qianyu became even more angry when Shen Yu went up the mountain again and again. He stood in front of Shen Yu and blocked the way up the mountain.

"No." Mo Qianyu frowned, the hatred in his tone did not diminish, "Chengyuan Mountain has already expelled you. You are not a disciple of our sect, and you are not allowed to enter."

Shen Yu didn't know what nerve was touched. His head ached and the anger in his chest became worse. Without saying a word, he quickly stepped forward, pushed Mo Qianyu aside and walked straight up the mountain.

"I want to see my master, please move aside."

"Wen Juyu--" Mo Qianyu grabbed Shen Yu's arm with his backhand. Shen Yu didn't even look at him. He groped his way up quickly.

There was a vicious look in Mo Qianyu's eyes. He pulled Shen Yu down with force. A cold light flashed as the two of them pulled each other.

Shen Yu only felt his left arm suddenly lose weight. His arm was completely numb. After a few seconds, the pain suddenly broke out, penetrating from the broken arm and directly attacking all his nerves.

Shen Yu couldn't see what was happening around him. He stood there in a daze, and heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. His broken arm fell from the stone steps, blood splattered everywhere, and finally stopped at his feet.

Mo Qianyu didn't expect that Shen Yu had no skills at all. He drew his sword in anger and actually cut off one of Shen Yu's arms.

"Pick up the jade..."

Before Shen Yu could come to his senses, he touched the cut on his left arm with the fingertips of his right hand. He felt a huge wave of blunt pain from the tiny needle prick, which stimulated his whole body to the point that he could hardly stand.

He was completely blind and could not see the scene, but he could feel that his palm was completely blank from the wound down.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!" Shen Yu didn't know why his emotions suddenly went out of control, he had never been so hysterical in all his seven years of imprisonment, but now standing at the foot of the nine thousand steps, his face was tightly wrinkled and twisted as if he was tortured by something to the point of being worse off than death.

"You! You all! You are all lying to me! You all want to hurt me!" Shen Yu picked up his broken arm. The bandage around his eyes was soaked with blood. He just backed away while covering his wound tightly with his other hand.

Mo Qianyu seemed to want to say something, but Shen Yu's expression suddenly changed. He threw out the medicine powder he used to protect himself, turned around and fled towards the dense forest behind him.

They are all deceiving him...and they all want to harm him!

No one has rescued him in Kunning Palace for seven years. Now he is about to die, but these people won't even let him enter the gate!

What was it that he had been holding on to? What was the reason that made him survive? What was the suffering he had endured during those seven years? !

Shen Yu was running madly in the forest in an unknown direction. It seemed like there were countless fierce ghosts chasing him. Shen Yu was almost exhausted and could no longer turn back.

Shen Yu was suddenly tripped by a heavy rock in the forest. He fell to the ground, and his chest trembled as he vomited blood.

"Hahahaha..." Shen Yu lay on the ground and laughed. His nose was full of the smell of blood. He held his broken arm tightly as if it were a treasure.

"Pick up the jade..."

Shen Yu seemed to hear a sigh coming from far away. He lay on the rugged forest path like a corpse, and did not move when he heard the sound.

The footsteps were getting closer, as if someone was walking towards him. Shen Yu only felt a hand supporting him from behind, so that he could lean on the person's arms.

"Master..." Shen Yu blinked.

The old, wrinkled hand wiped the blood from the corner of Shen Yu's mouth. Shen Yu leaned in his arms and smelled the sandalwood scent from long ago.

"Take the jade, it's still the teacher's fault."

Shen Yu's head was dizzy, his internal organs were in a mess, consuming his remaining vitality. He seemed unwilling to give up, and upon hearing this, he just stared at the two black holes in front of his eyes, trying hard to look up.
