"This Duke Shengyang is truly a cunning old fox."
"Every time he opens his mouth, it's either to protect the Great Dao and the common people, or to get rid of evil for the people. He even said that regardless of whether the Immortal Path of the Nine Heavens has issued a decree, as the ruler of the Heavenly Domain, he has the duty and responsibility to protect the safety of everyone. How noble is that!"
"Everyone knows how terrifying the existence of Emperor You is. Without the decree of the Nine Heavens, no one dares to act rashly. But this Duke Shengyang is jumping up and down in the Lingluo Heavenly Domain, even riding the Great Sun Dragon Carriage with all the Immortal Officials of the Heavenly Domain. He's afraid that others don't know how noble he is."
"The Immortal Path of the Nine Heavens has long issued a decree that the Immemorial World is not under the jurisdiction of the Lingluo Heavenly Domain, but Duke Shengyang came. Do you really think he came here to search for the whereabouts of Emperor You? No! No, he wants everyone to know that he, Duke Shengyang, did not hesitate to defy the decree of the Immortal Path of the Nine Heavens in order to search for the whereabouts of Emperor You. How noble is that? "
"Do you really think he came to the Shang Qing Sect because he suspects that Emperor You was here? No, it's just an excuse. He came to the Shang Qing Sect for one thing, and that is to let everyone know that he, Duke Shengyang, did not hesitate to offend the Shang Qing Sect in order to search for the whereabouts of Emperor You. To be exact, he offended the Heavenly Dao behind the Shang Qing Sect. "
"If this old woman's guess is correct, then Duke Shengyang's next stop is the Red Clouds Sect. Everyone knows that the Red Clouds Sect is protected by the Saintess and Goddess Nature. Once he goes, everyone will know that he, Duke Shengyang, did not hesitate to offend the Saintess and Goddess Nature in order to search for the whereabouts of Emperor You."
"Haha."
Granny Lotus held a cup of tea and said in a flat tone, "In the future, these things will spread throughout the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds. Duke Shengyang's heroic deeds for the Immortals and for the Great Dao will also be widely spread. At that time, Duke Shengyang will naturally become a noble hero of the ancient times. I have to say, Duke Shengyang's plan is really admirable."
After hearing Granny Lotus's words, Yun Wan frowned and didn't know what to say. She had thought that Duke Shengyang was really a selfless old hero who served the immortals and the people. Because of this, she felt guilty when she lied that she had never seen Emperor You. But after hearing Granny Lotus's words, she realized that Duke Shengyang had done all this just to make a name for himself.
"I didn't expect Duke Shengyang to be such a hypocrite who covets fame and fortune. However, he is too courageous. There is no decree from the Immortal Dao of the Nine Heavens. Is he not worried at all? If Emperor You really appears, how can he resist without the protection of the Immortal Dao of the Nine Heavens? "
Granny Lotus took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "Wan 'er, oh Wan' er, the Female Sect Leader is right. You only know how to cultivate. You've cultivated until you've become stupid. You don't understand the world at all."
"I …"
Yun Wan shook her head and smiled bitterly. She really didn't understand the world because she had no interest in it.
"You underestimate Duke Shengyang's cunning old fox too much."
"Granny Lotus, what do you mean?" Yun Wan asked, "Are you saying that Duke Shengyang's actions aren't just for fame and fortune?"
"Of course."
Granny Lotus said, "Duke Shengyang's actions aren't just for his own fame and fortune. At the same time, he really wants to get rid of Emperor You!"
"Granny Lotus, Wan 'er doesn't quite understand. You just said that Lord Shengyang was a hypocrite who pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and that he only wanted to use Emperor You's matter to make himself famous. Why are you saying that he really wants to get rid of Emperor You now?"
"He doesn't want to get rid of Emperor You for the sake of the Great Dao, but for himself."
"For himself?" Yun Wan was even more confused. She asked, "What does getting rid of Emperor You have to do with Duke Shengyang?"
"Wan 'er, have you heard that Emperor You almost killed Duke Shengyang in the ancient times?"
Hearing Granny Lotus's words, Yun Wan thought carefully and immediately understood. She said, "I've heard that when Emperor You first entered the Great Wilderness, he had been living in seclusion in the Lingluo Territory. Later on, his identity was exposed. At that time, Duke Shengyang mobilized all the experts in the Lingluo Territory to besiege Emperor You. It's said that Duke Shengyang's favorite disciple and his immortal companion were killed by Emperor You. It's said that even Duke Shengyang himself was beaten half to death by Emperor You."
Granny Lotus smiled and said, "Back then, Duke Shengyang wasn't just beaten half to death by Emperor You. He was literally hovering between life and death. His hands and feet were forcefully pulled off by Emperor You, leaving only his head and body. He was hung in the air by Emperor You and beaten so badly that it was unbearable to look at. His head was smashed open and his flesh was torn apart. Even his internal organs were dug out and stuffed back in. His flesh and blood were splattered everywhere and his body was reduced to ashes. Emperor You personally reconstructed his body and then continued to beat him.
"Oh my god! This … this is simply … simply … "
Yun Wan's scalp went numb when she heard this. She had only heard that Emperor You had beaten Duke Shengyang half to death back then. She really didn't know that Emperor You had beaten Duke Shengyang to such a degree. Emperor You had destroyed Duke Shengyang's physical body, reconstructed it, and then continued to beat him.
Oh my god, Emperor You's methods were simply … too terrifying.
"Duke Shengyang was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. Back then, he was hung up and beaten so badly by Emperor You that he couldn't even beg for death. It could be said that he had lost all his face. How could Duke Shengyang take this lying down? He wanted to kill Emperor You and take revenge more than anyone else."
"This revenge …" Yun Wan sighed and said, "He didn't even think about whether he could take revenge. That was Emperor You we were talking about."
"Duke Shengyang is a sly old fox who has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years. If he doesn't have a powerful backer behind him, he wouldn't dare to search for Emperor You all over the Ancient World, even if I gave him ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to search for Emperor You all over the Ancient World."
"Granny Lotus, who is Duke Shengyang's backer?"
Granny Lotus stood up and said, "There are too many people in this world who want Emperor You dead. There are too many to count."
"There are indeed many people who want Emperor You dead, but the Immortal Path of the Nine Heavens hasn't shown up yet. What kind of powerful backing could make Duke Shengyang act so recklessly?" Yun Wan was puzzled. She guessed, "Could it be one of the thirty-six heavens and seventy-two blessed lands?"
Granny Lotus gave her a look of admiration and said, "That's right. Duke Shengyang's backer is Pill Cauldron Valley, one of the 72 Blessed Lands."
"What? Pill Cauldron Valley? " Yun Wan thought carefully and said, "There doesn't seem to be any deep hatred between Emperor You and Pill Cauldron Valley. Why would Pill Cauldron Valley want Emperor You dead? "
"Emperor You almost annihilated Pill Cauldron Valley back then!"
Hearing this, Yun Wan was shocked and said, "There's such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
"Very few people know about this. It's something that happened a long time ago." Granny Lotus didn't go into detail about the grudge between Emperor You and Pill Cauldron Valley. She only said, "According to what I know, Pill Cauldron Valley has sent many experts this time, including their old ancestor."
