Yu Yuan didn't say anything.
Many apothecaries popped their heads out from the depths of the cave abodes. Looking at the lifeless and miserable corpses, they hesitated for a moment before retreating a little.
Chi Ye didn't look very happy. Instead, he was afraid and worried.
Qu Yun and the dozen or so corpses reminded him of what Yu Yuan had done three hundred years ago...
In some ways, Yu Yuan's brutality at that time was even worse than Qu Yun's.
Qu Yun and the others would at least try to reason things out and show evidence.
Yu Yuan, on the other hand, did things according to his personal preferences. No one could figure out what he was thinking.
"His return this time may not be a good thing for the sect …" Chi Ye muttered to himself.
Chi Ye muttered to himself. He observed for a while and saw that the older generation of alchemists who had seen Yuyuan with their own eyes and experienced that nightmarish era were all as worried as he was.
Zhong Ying was dragging her two disciples with unsteady steps, and was quietly leaving.
Her two disciples, on the other hand, seemed rather excited to see Yu Yuan kill Qu Yun and the others as soon as he showed up. They didn't know what Yu Yuan had done, but they kept looking back.
The beautiful female disciple, who was in her early twenties, had the light of admiration in her crescent-moon-like eyes.
Chi Ye frowned inwardly, thinking that they were really reckless.
Soon, Lian Hu was the only one left near Yu Yuan and the corpses.
The demon with a huge head and a thin and small body leaned against a rock with a helpless expression on his face. All kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart.
When he saw Yu Yuan kill Qu Yun and the others, he overlapped Yu Yuan's and Honch's figures.
"He's the same as before..."
Naturally, Lian Hu thought so.
What was different was that in the past, Yu Yuan was the one who ordered them to kill whoever she wanted them to.
But now, Yu Yuan, who had incomparably terrifying battle prowess, didn't need to inform them. He would kill them as soon as his killing intent arose.
Decisive, brutal, and fearless.
"That, Hong …"
After hesitating for a while, seeing that everyone on the Medicine God Island was looking at Yu Yuan with fear and anxiety, Lian Hu couldn't help but ask, "Sectmaster Hong, what are you doing here on the Medicine God Island?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally silent island became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Yu Yuan's expression changed unpredictably. Because of his words, his Yin Spirit returned to his sea of consciousness. The Gendo, which was emitting a demonic scarlet light that made everyone's scalp tingle, was also withdrawn.
Yu Yuan looked at Lian Hu.
Lian Hu squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying. "Don't look at me like that. After you failed to reincarnate, most of the people who were recruited as guests of the Medicine God Sect like me died. The fact that I'm still alive is because I'm lucky, and also because I rarely showed myself. "
Yu Yuan nodded slightly. "I know."
Through the memories in Qu Yun's soul, he knew that his former subordinates, or rather, lackeys, were not loyal. Once they knew that his soul had been scattered, they immediately licked their faces and pledged their loyalty to Senior Apprentice Brother Zhong Chichen.
Naturally, Lian Hu was no exception.
Many of those people had committed heinous crimes. Before they were recruited into the Medicine God Sect, a few of them had done things that angered both men and gods. The five great forces had determined that they had to be eliminated.
The reason why they were still alive and weren't pursued was because they had become guests of the Medicine God Sect.
However, after they had gathered around him, they didn't restrain themselves much. Either they did whatever they wanted, or they were ordered by him to do a few more unspeakable evil deeds.
In the end, Senior Apprentice Brother and Qu Yun had deliberately arranged some missions and released them.
Those who had poor self-control left the Medicine God Sect and moved to other continents and the deep sea. They quickly lost their voices.
— They were secretly eliminated by their enemies.
Senior Apprentice Brother pretended not to know because he wanted to release them so that some people could vent their anger.
Lian Hu had guessed it, so he refused to go out. He didn't show his face outside. He either stayed in the Medicine God Sect or hid on this island.
Decades later, when most of his companions were dead, Lian Hu finally dared to show his face.
At that time, Senior Apprentice Brother was recruiting new guests and slowly accepted him.
That was how he survived.
"Why are you afraid of me?" Yu Yuan was amused. "Did you do something to betray me behind my back as well? Lian Hu, I don't care about the others, but I saved you and took you back to the Medicine God Sect. If you plotted against me, hahaha. "
"Don't accuse me, Sectmaster Hong!" Lian Hu defended himself anxiously. "I didn't do anything! Also, I've always been afraid of you. You know it! How would I dare? "
"Hong …"
Seeing that everyone was running away, Chi Ye, the red-bearded man, had no choice but to step forward.
"Call me Yu Yuan."
"Alright, Yu Yuan it is. Yu Yuan it is."
Chi Ye didn't refuse. Under everyone's expectant gazes, he jumped out of the cave and landed in front of Yu Yuan. "Qu Yun is restricting the freedom of apothecaries. Many people who have been focused on refining medicine have died for no reason."
With a pained expression, he looked down at the corpses of his two disciples and said, "If the Tool Sect can remain neutral and cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce, why can't we? I don't know if it's Sectmaster Zhong's idea or Qu Yun's, but we've become traitors just because we went to Heaven Span Island!
"Heaven Span Island has all kinds of spiritual materials that we need to refine medicine. Cutting off our cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce is also a heavy blow to us!"
Without mentioning anything else, Chi Ye went on to talk about the Medicine God Sect's current situation and the various changes that had taken place in the past three hundred years.
If Yu Yuan hadn't become twisted later on, he would have stood firmly on Yu Yuan's side forever.
After all, Yu Yuan's philosophy had been the same as the old sectmaster's. The Medicine God Sect had to be led by an alchemist, and the Dao of medicine refining had to be superior to the path of cultivation.
Yu Yuan, who couldn't practice cultivation, had perfectly carried out this path. No matter what he did, he was the one who made the decisions.
Guest elders like Lian Hu all listened to him and didn't dare to do anything to the alchemists.
After Zhong Chichen took charge of the Medicine God Sect, he put Qu Yun in an important position and supported Chu Yao, while he immersed himself in cultivation and sought to break through into the Freedom realm.
His own actions sent a bad signal, forcing Qu Yun to choose those with high cultivation talent as his disciples.
Chu Yao acquiesced.
Over time, those who were skilled in medicine refining like Chi Ye were pushed out of power and had no voice in the sect's internal affairs.
Even Chi Ye and the others were no longer invited to important events in the sect.
At this point, alchemists seemed to have become slaves to cultivators. The precious pills they refined with great difficulty were either used by Qu Yun and the others directly, or sold to the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for suitable spiritual tools and precious crystals to improve their cultivation bases and battle prowess.
Alchemists had actually lost their transcendent status in such a holy land of medicine refining.
How sad was that?
"Senior Chi..."
As soon as Yu Yuan opened his mouth, he fell silent. After a few seconds of silence, he chose to send Chi Ye a voice transmission. "In my previous life, the great change in my temperament seemed to be because I was poisoned, and it was a soul poison. Because I couldn't cultivate and my soul was too weak, I didn't discover it. I came back this time in hopes of figuring out the truth and getting the sect back on track. "
"I will continue to carry out master's last wishes and ideals."
Yu Yuan opened his heart.
Chi Ye's eyes instantly lit up. His hands trembled, and his face glowed.
Yu Yuan nodded affirmatively and said, "You will maintain order on the island. I have some things to ask Lian Hu."
"Good! Good, good, good! "Chi Ye nodded repeatedly.
Flustered, Lian Hu hurriedly tried to explain himself, saying that he hadn't done anything wrong to Yu Yuan behind his back.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
With a grin, Yu Yuan grabbed Lian Hu's arm and lifted him into the air. Then, they flew towards Heaven Span Island. "I still remember that when we were in a dangerous situation and our flying artifact broke, you also took me to escape like this."
Lian Hu went blank for a moment, then laughed dryly. "You vomited after landing."
After saying this, he looked at Yu Yuan's face. For some reason, he seemed to have calmed down a lot.
"Yeah, I vomited when I landed because my body was too weak at the time." Yu Yuan nodded with a smile. "But didn't you vomit even more than me because of the spread of the poisonous smoke?"
Lian Hu's face suddenly turned pale.
