Chapter 83: The Past in the Clouds
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The power of heaven and earth gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds dissipated with the wind. The sky above the Cloud Treading Peak was clear.
Fu Yunzi stood proudly between heaven and earth, and his aura slowly retracted.
When the Righteous Sect saw this, they gathered and congratulated him in unison.
“Congratulations to Senior Fu Yunzi for breaking through to the Core Transformation Realm!”
Fu Yunzi smiled slightly, indicating for everyone to be free of formalities. “Today, 1 have successfully transformed into a Core, and the younger generation of the Righteous Sect has also successfully repelled the Demonic Sect. This is truly a double blessing.”
“In the future, with this old man overseeing the Demonic Sect, I will naturally have some considerations.”
At this point, Fu Yunzi paused and turned to look at the people from the Cloud Sect.
Daoist Master Tan Yun instantly understood and went forward to welcome him. “The Cloud Sect welcomes the return of Martial Granduncle!”
The Cloud Sect followed closely behind him, shouting, “Welcome back to Cloud Sect.”
The people from the other four sects saw everything and were secretly envious. After all, Fu Yunzi was already the ceiling of Little Nantian’s combat strength.
With such an expert in charge, the Cloud Sect reputation would definitely soar in the future.
Although the various sects had expected such a thing to happen, they were still filled with emotions after experiencing it personally.
However, just as the four sect leaders were about to send their congratulations, Fu Yunzi raised his hand to stop them.
“I’ve been cultivating and learning in the Cloud Sect since 1 was a child. All my skills come from the Cloud Sect. For so many years, I’ve been thinking about the day when I’ll acknowledge my ancestors and return to the sect.” At this point, Fu Yunzi suddenly changed the topic. “But before 1 return to the sect, I still have some old grudges that I need to understand.”
Fu Yunzi’s expression turned cold as he said in a cold voice, “The people who secretly interfered with Sect Leader Shixiong’s Pill Transformation back then, were you the ones who took the initiative to step forward, or was it this old man who personally pulled you out?”
As soon as these words were said, the originally joyous atmosphere instantly froze.
The other four groups retreated to the side in shock and whispered to each other.
The people from the Cloud Sect looked at each other in dismay. Clearly, they had not expected Fu Yunzi to make such a move at this time.
Even Daoist Master Tan Yun was stunned. “What are you doing?”
“Senior Brother Sect Leader is a genius, and his talent is even above mine. Although I left the sect back then, I was indebted to Senior Brother’s love that taught me all the experience of refining the Golden Core, so that I have not made any mistakes in refining until now.” Fu Yunzi looked coldly at the elders of Cloud Sect in the crowd. “All these years, I’ve been secretly investigating why Senior Brother failed to transform into a core. Today, 1’11 definitely end this matter!”
Hearing this, Daoist Master Tan Yun and the others were in an uproar. The other sects could not help but discuss.
Only the few elders of the Cloud Sect avoided his gaze, their expressions uncertain.
“You mean… Back then, when his master failed to transform into a pill, was it because he was secretly interfered with?!” Daoist Master Tan Yun asked in bewilderment, anger burning in his eyes.
Fu Yunzi didn’t say anything. He looked at the group of elders again. “You don’t dare to step forward, do you?”
As he spoke, the terrifying pressure of a Core Transformation cultivator pressed down on the group of Cloud Sect elders.
“Fu Yunzi, are you trying to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?!”
The Great Elder of the Cloud Sect walked out of the crowd with an ugly expression and looked at Fu Yunzi coldly.
“Very good, you old fogey still have some guts.” Fu Yunzi sneered coldly. “I thought that after 1 left the sect, I would understand what happened back then. 1 didn’t expect that you would dare to plot against the sect master!”
As soon as he said this, the entire place was in an uproar, especially the Cloud Sect, who were extremely shocked.
“This… Is this true?”
Master Tan Yun was agitated and confirmed with Fu Yunzi again.
Fu Yunzi coldly replied, “Think about it carefully. If it wasn’t for me secretly helping you back then, would you have been able to safely take over the position of sect master?”
Hearing this, the Taoist Master Tan Yun fell silent. After pondering for a while, his eyes became gloomy as he looked at the Great Elder.
Over at the Medicine Celestial Valley.
Cheng Xu was dumbfounded. He felt like he was watching a melodramatic TV series.
“Hiss… No wonder Daoist Master Tian Yun failed to transform into a pill back then. He was plotted against by his own family.” Daoist Dan Yang clicked his tongue and sighed, “Those old bones of the Cloud Sect are really ruthless. They actually attacked their own people.”
Perfected Chi Yao couldn’t help but sigh. “I can only say that it’s not a good thing for a sect to be too big.”
“Back then, Daoist Master Tian Yun was an expert. I didn’t expect that he would be schemed against by his own people in the end. Now that Senior Fu Yunzi has stepped into the Core Transformation Realm, I’m afraid those old bones of the Cloud Sect won’t be able to escape the punishment,” Shenluo Hall Master said with a sigh.
“It’s good to get rid of them. Those old bones are also a scourge.”
Cheng Xu and the younger generation of the various sects were confused. After the elders explained, they roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
To put it simply, after the Cloud Sect grew stronger, the internal factions were gradually dominated by the cultivation of aristocratic families.
Back then, Daoist Master Cloud Sect’s master, who was also Fu Yunzi’s senior brother, was a genius who suppressed the younger generation of his sect.
At that time, there was also an outstanding prodigy who was the son of this Great Elder. He was the heir to the sect leader of the aristocratic families.
Hence, the grudge began!
Back then, Fu Yunzi, who was the youngest junior brother, couldn’t stand the sinister schemes of the Great Elder’s son. He couldn’t stand it anymore and joined forces with Daoist Heaven Cloud to kill the Great Elder’s son.
In the end, under the protection of his master and a group of grassroots elders, he survived, but he was still expelled from the sect under pressure and successfully helped Daoist Heaven Cloud ascend.
He didn’t expect that the aristocratic families and sects led by the Great Elder could bear grudges for so many years. They actually schemed against Perfected Tian Yun when he was transforming into a core, causing him to die in the Core Transformation Tribulation.
“Tsk tsk, luckily Senior Brother didn’t stay in the Cloud Sect.” Miao Changsheng couldn’t help but rejoice for Cheng Xu.
“Indeed.” Cheng Xu agreed.
Compared to the internal strife and schemes of the Cloud Sect, the Medicine Celestial Valley was simply a paradise.
Now that he thought about it, the proportion of disciples from aristocratic families among the disciples of the Cloud Sect was indeed ridiculously large.
The subsequent development of the situation was relatively simple. Although many elders of the aristocratic families who plotted against Daoist Tian Yun had died, there were still a few who survived.
After being pulled out by Fu Yunzi one by one, he still wanted to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, before Fu Yunzi could make a move himself, he was attacked by the other elders of Cloud Sect led by Taoist Master Cloudstep.
After the few black sheep were killed, their heads were personally sent to the memorial tablet of the Heavenly Fate Daoist by Daoist Master Tan Yun and Fu Yun Zi.
Then, in front of the memorial tablets of the previous leaders of the Cloud Sect, in front of the orthodox sects, the Taoist Master Tan Yun personally welcomed Fu Yunzi back to the sect and made him the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Sect!
Everything was settled.
However, the Demon Suppression Martial Competition had yet to come to an end. Seeing that the various leaders were congratulating each other but did not mention the matter of the Martial Competition, Cheng Xu was anxious.
After all, he was still waiting for the Frost Rain Dew to upgrade his CPU.
“That… Did the seniors forget something?” Cheng Xu said awkwardly but politely, “The Demon Suppression Martial Competition hasn’t ended yet, right?”
Hearing this, all the leaders looked at each other and laughed.
Even Fu Yunzi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “The little guy turned the tide in the end. Is there a need to continue competing?”
“Grand Elder is right. At least I’m convinced of Junior Brother Cheng’s strength.” Yan Changfeng smiled and looked at Huyan Zan, Liu Qiao, and the others.
Since even Yan Changfeng had admitted defeat, they naturally had nothing to say. They all expressed their approval of Cheng Xu.
As a result, Cheng Xu was successfully elected as the champion of this year’s Demon Suppression Martial Meet Meet.
“It’s a pity that Junior Brother Cheng couldn’t stay in Cloud Sect.” Yan Changfeng sighed regretfully.
Fu Yunzi couldn’t help but think of himself. He turned around and looked at Daoist Heaven Cloud’s memorial tablet, feeling dejected.
If Cheng Xu was still in the Cloud Sect, perhaps he would have forged a deep friendship with Yan Changfeng and become the new generation of the Two Heroes in the Cloud, just like how he had done with his senior brother, Daoist Master Tian Yun..
