It's certain that Liu Yunzhao will participate in the hunting competition.
In his past life, Wuchen chanted sutras for her every day, hoping to help her let go of her hatred, and rarely mentioned Liu Yunzhao in front of her.
Even so, although Liu Yunqing was unaware of the details of the competition, she still knew that Liu Yunzhao had won first place in the hunting competition.
Therefore, when Chunyu Changfeng talked about Liu Yunzhao's participation in the competition, Liu Yunqing's emotions did not fluctuate at all.
It wasn't until Chunyu Changfeng asked her what she thought that she finally understood.
Liu Yunqing pretended to think seriously for a moment, then tilted his head and asked Chunyu Changfeng:
"Can I kill her?"
Chunyu Changfeng was taken aback, then chuckled softly, seemingly thinking of something, before speaking to himself or Liu Yunqing:
"If I had been as daring as you were back then... you could try, but it's best not to."
"Why?"
Liu Yunqing hadn't intended to, but when she said those words just now, she realized that she was genuinely tempted and desperately wanted to find an opportunity to kill Liu Yunzhao.
Chunyu Changfeng seemed unusually patient at this moment. When Liu Yunqing asked, he answered:
"He is a true disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Wonders Sect, and also Cheng Yunyun's last disciple. He has countless life-saving items on him."
"More importantly, even if you survive the killing moves left by those old guys on her body and actually kill her, you will inevitably be targeted by Cheng Yunyun."
"Unless you can kill Cheng Yunyun, who is at the Nascent Soul stage."
And when a sect loses its supreme elder, it's impossible to remain indifferent.
Chunyu Changfeng didn't say these words aloud, fearing it would be too much of a blow to Liu Yunqing, who was currently only at the Foundation Establishment stage. But Liu Yunqing himself understood the situation.
At the same time, she understood why the master and disciple had forced her to stay away from the sect.
The purpose was to ensure that she would always be isolated and helpless, and never have a legitimate and upright backer to oppose Liu Yunzhao.
As long as she doesn't have a major sect as her backer, Liu Yunzhao, who is backed by the Wanmiao Sect, will always be in the dominant position in the contest.
Liu Yunqing was filled with resentment, but on her face she smiled faintly and nodded knowingly:
"Understood, just don't kill them."
How can repeatedly hitting someone not be a form of revenge?
Although Chunyu Changfeng was blind, he felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing these words.
This feeling lingered in his heart and wouldn't fade away until Liu Yunqing left, at which point he couldn't help but give her some final words of advice:
"Although you have not said it outright, I can probably guess what your grudge is with Liu Yunzhao."
"Such things are countless in the cultivation world. Revenge can serve as motivation to improve yourself, or even as a short-term goal."
"But you must remember, absolutely, never let revenge become the meaning of your cultivation."
"If your revenge is done at any cost or even in a self-destructive way, even if you get your revenge, your enemy will also get what they want."
Chunyu Changfeng paused here, unconsciously raising his hand to gently touch the veil covering his eyes.
"True revenge is doing exactly what your enemy fears most, and then trampling him underfoot!"
...
On the way back to the cave, Liu Yunqing kept thinking about Chunyu Changfeng's words.
Chunyu Changfeng and she had always had a master-servant relationship.
But these words today have far exceeded the bounds of a city lord's authority over the city lord's guest minister.
It didn't sound like it was simply being said to Liu Yunqing, but rather through her, to someone else who had a similar experience.
So what is Chunyu Changfeng's hatred?
Has his grudge been settled? Has the meaning of his cultivation gone astray?
What is the meaning of her cultivation?
In the very beginning, she never thought about any meaning.
It's simply a matter of surviving and fighting back.
Only after embarking on this path did Liu Yunqing realize how difficult it was to achieve those six words.
To survive, they initially relied on hiding; now they rely on the Faceless Mask to change their physical appearance and conceal their presence.
To fight back, what's needed isn't the ability to kill Liu Yunzhao, but the ability to kill Liu Yunzhao and prevent the Wanmiao Sect from making any rash moves.
Liu Yunqing closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, all the emotions in her eyes had returned to calm.
But the footsteps that were leading to the cave changed direction in the next instant.
If you can't kill Liu Yunzhao, can't you at least kill two henchmen?
If we can't avenge our great grudge all at once, can't we at least vent our anger first?
...
No sooner had Liu Yunqing left Luoxia City than Chunyu Changfeng found out.
He was sitting upright at the table, removing the gauze from his eyes and applying medicine to his eye that had lost its eyeball.
The person who came in to answer was still the old cultivator surnamed Zhang.
He was clearly used to this scene, but there was still a hint of heartache in his eyes.
"She left the city?"
"The city lord knows things like a god."
Upon hearing Chunyu Changfeng speak, the old cultivator lowered his eyes and answered respectfully.
"knew."
Chunyu Changfeng re-bandaged the gauze, and seeing the old cultivator still standing there, he turned slightly to ask:
"Uncle Zhang, is there anything else?"
The old cultivator hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"Is the city lord paying too much attention to that person?"
Doesn't she look like me?
Chunyu Changfeng's tone was indifferent, but the old cultivator found it difficult to answer.
Why doesn't it look like it?
It was precisely because of this resemblance that he reminded Chunyu Changfeng not to let outsiders ruin his grand plan.
But the old monk knew these were not words he should say, and his face scrunched up in worry.
Perhaps guessing his thoughts, Chunyu Changfeng sighed and added an explanation:
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, she will only be an asset to me."
Whether Liu Yunqing can succeed in becoming Chunyu Changfeng's ally remains to be seen, but Liu Yunqing is becoming increasingly adept at using Chunyu Changfeng's protection.
As soon as she left Luoxia City, Chunyu Changfeng's men told her that someone was following her.
Liu Yunqing possessed a powerful divine sense. As soon as he released his divine sense, he discovered that the person following him was a disciple of the Myriad Wonders Sect.
Similarly, just a moment later, the disciples of the Myriad Wonders Sect also realized that they had been discovered.
It's not surprising that the Wanmiao Sect members were able to detect her divine sense so quickly.
The reason why the Myriad Wonders Sect ranks among the top three sects in the Sun Realm is because its inheritance includes cultivation methods for enhancing divine sense.
The strength of one's spiritual sense may not be apparent in terms of cultivation level, but a significant difference can be observed when fighting against opponents of equal cultivation levels.
Therefore, even the most old-fashioned cultivators in the cultivation world, who always believed that male cultivators were stronger than female cultivators, rarely showed any appreciation when facing the Myriad Wonders Sect.
Clearly, both sides were somewhat surprised by the strength of each other's spiritual sense.
Liu Yunqing was the first to react, and her expression was not good as she said:
"It's you guys again? What? Wasn't my cooperation good enough last time?"
This time, they even called for reinforcements, and the reinforcements they called were people they recognized.
“Fellow Daoist Zhenru, I think you have misunderstood.”
After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, the familiar-looking person explained to Liu Yunqing in a soft voice.
"What happened last time was due to my junior sisters' ignorance. I have come here specifically to apologize to Fellow Daoist Zhenru."
This familiar-looking female cultivator was the gentle female cultivator Liu Yunqing had encountered at the gate when she escaped from the small town below the Tai Xuan Sect.
Liu Yunqing had a good impression of her personally, but because of Liu Yunzhao, a good impression wasn't enough for her to give him a friendly look.
"An apology? Interesting."
Liu Yunqing laughed mockingly, ignoring the other party's embarrassed expression, and then quickly changed the subject, her expression returning to indifference:
"Alright, then I'll take that as my understanding. Now, can your Myriad Wonders Sect leave me alone and not interfere with anything?"
The gentle female cultivator frowned with worry, her face showing shame, but she still tried to persuade her to stay.
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, please wait a moment."
"Besides apologizing, I've come here on behalf of Junior Sister Yun Zhao to invite Fellow Daoist Zhen Ru to visit the Wanmiao Sect."
