Chapter 162: Without Destruction, There Can Be No Creation
Chapter 162: Without Destruction, There Can Be No Creation
"Hm?"
Watching the Pavilion Master of the Azure Cloud Pavilion arrest that adulterous pair, Li Wei was stunned. He had assumed that a sect like the Azure Cloud Pavilion, with tens of thousands of years of heritage, would be enraged by the Li family's provocation, but he never expected the Azure Cloud Pavilion Master to be so reasonable!
It wasn't just Li Wei.
Even Li Yaowen, who was in the Azure Cloud region and saw everything that happened at Azure Cloud Pavilion through images transmitted by others, was momentarily taken aback. She quickly breathed a sigh of relief but didn't let down her guard because of it. Instead, she furrowed her brow even more. "Such a reasonable Pavilion Master Yu."
She then waved her hand, summoning someone. "Go, find out if there's anyone else in this world connected to Qiuye of the Skyveil Sect. Kill all their relatives and friends."
"Yes"
A dark shadow rose from the ground and flew away.
...
"He must have divined something. As expected of a place like the Azure Cloud Pavilion, its Pavilion Master also has some impressive tricks up his sleeve. No wonder the Azure Cloud Pavilion has been able to survive for so long."
Gazing at the images, Li Wei also came to his senses. Yu Xian's actions had been beyond his expectations.
At least for now, it seemed he truly was a reasonable and understanding man.

"We still need to keep an eye on him. It wouldn't do for something strange to happen."
Within the images, he saw Yu Xian now standing face-to-face with Li Tianming. At this moment, Li Tianming was still feigning ignorance. "Pavilion Master," he asked, "what's happening outside? Why are all my fellow disciples running around?"
"..."
Yu Xian remained silent for a long time, finally uttering the words that made Li Tianming's face drain of color. "Did you really think you could hide your clever little scheme with the Soul Cleansing Liquid from me forever?"
Li Tianming was dumbfounded.
[Your descendant, Li Tianming, is currently experiencing a mental breakdown.]
"..."
Li Wei's lips twitched. He understood. It seemed that Yu Xian, like Huang Xiujin of the Cloudsea Pavilion, cultivated a path that granted him divination abilities, and he was even more formidable than Huang Xiujin.
Li Tianming stood before Yu Xian, feeling completely exposed, as if he had been stripped naked.
A line of small text appeared above Yu Xian's head.
The Pavilion Master of the Azure Cloud Pavilion let out a long sigh. "There are always bad seeds in this world, child. I knew you had ulterior motives from the moment you entered the Azure Cloud Pavilion. But I still spared your life, to preserve a glimmer of hope for the Azure Cloud Pavilion."
Li Tianming finally recovered from the shock of being discovered. But he didn't understand what Yu Xian was talking about, so he dropped the pretense. "Old man, what are you playing at? I don't understand."
"You will understand."
Yu Xian slowly opened the cage. "Go back. Tell your Li family elders that the disaster has only just begun. This is not only your disaster, but also the disaster of our Azure Cloud Pavilion."
Li Tianming rubbed his hair in frustration. "What do you mean? I've been exposed! You should kill me!"
Yu Xian remained calm and unhurried. "I am the one who is going to die."
"Huh???"
This time, it wasn't just Li Tianming who was stunned; even Li Wei, watching the scene unfold before him, was dumbfounded.
Yu Xian still wore an expression of someone who regarded life and death with indifference. He was even smiling. "Don't be fooled by the fact that I just had Xiao Huang'er and Qiuye arrested. If I truly wanted to kill them, it would be utterly impossible."
"The Azure Cloud Pavilion is no longer what it once was. In the past, during times of chaos, the Azure Cloud Pavilion sheltered living beings and accumulated ten thousand years of merit, allowing it to endure to this day. Now, the elders of the Azure Cloud Pavilion are blinded by greed and ambition. They will stop at nothing to restore the Azure Cloud Pavilion to its former glory."
"That's why something like Xiao Huang'er and Qiu Ye of the Skyveil Sect becoming Dao companions could happen. You think the Azure Cloud Pavilion is above such things? No, in truth, the Azure Cloud Pavilion is filled with influences from the Skyveil Sect, the Black Tortoise Sect, and even various factions and clans from across the entire Azure Cloud region. The Azure Cloud Pavilion has long since become a microcosm of the entire Azure Cloud region."
"Believe it or not, they have already walked out of their cage with ease."
"As for me," he chuckled, "I've long been weary of this. I want to live too. Tonight, I will leave the Azure Cloud Pavilion with some of my disciples."
Watching Li Tianming walk out of the cage...
Yu Xian waved his hand dismissively. "Go on, then. Tell your elders to stop fighting. If you try to kill the elders of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, you'll be making enemies of the entire Azure Cloud region. They've been colluding with each other for who knows how many years. It would be best to leave Azure Cloud region as soon as possible."
"Oh, and one more thing."
As he watched Li Tianming stroll away with his hands clasped behind his head and a swagger in his step, Yu Xian called out, "Tell your Li family to beware of the Skyveil Sect! Think about why Qiuye was only imprisoned for twenty years, while Li Yunlin of your Li family has been confined for fifty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he returned to the main hall, gathered two elders and dozens of disciples, packed their belongings, and soared into the night sky.
Yu Xian stood above the clouds.
He gazed down at the Azure Cloud Pavilion with a pang of regret. The lights were bright, and spiritual energy swirled like mist. It was indeed worthy of being a great sect that had existed for tens of thousands of years, a landmark etched in the memory of all in the Azure Cloud region. But the higher one climbed, the easier it was to lose one's way.
He still remembered the Azure Cloud Pavilion of old, when everyone was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao.
But now...
"Without destruction, there can be no creation. Only through ruin can there be rebirth."
Yu Xian's gaze was profound as if it contained a dazzling galaxy. "Azure Cloud region also needs a complete reshuffling. I hope your Li family can achieve it."
He took a deep breath and soared away on the clouds, a streak of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
He had foreseen it; he could not prevent this disaster.
As for the Li family, they were a pack of wild beasts, utterly enraged. Even with his Hexa-Ren Divine Calculation technique that he had cultivated for many years, he couldn't fully predict their specific locations. He only knew that these beasts were scattered throughout the Azure Cloud region, as if guided by a great tree extending its vines, showing them the way.
A shroud of mist protected all the descendants of the Li family.
He couldn't see through the Li descendants, nor could he discern the future of the Li family.
But he knew that what remained shrouded in mystery was always the most dangerous.
Yu Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Despite having expended fifty years of his life, he still wore a broad smile.
