151: The enraged Nuwa and Fuxi, and the strong support of Zhen Yuanzi.

Fuxi and Nuwa's expressions were ashen.

They had seen Li Yun in the crowd earlier, but they weren't certain back then.

After all, the Li Yun they had brought back from Mount Buzhou was already dead; this was something Dijun and some surviving Xi Huang Palace Cultivators had confirmed.

However, on their way back, they had learned about Li Yun's existence and information from the mouths of Bai Ze and others.

According to their accounts, both Fuxi and Nuwa suspected that the person they saw was Li Yun, and the fact that Li Yun himself was closely related to the Wu Clan also explained a certain issue.

That was why the Wu Clan had suddenly attacked the Demon God Palace back then, catching the Demon God Palace completely unprepared for battle and ultimately leading to a total defeat.

At that time, they hadn't understood why, but now it seemed that all of this was Li Yun's deliberate doing.

It was very likely that he had known about the situation and goals of the Demon God Palace and then informed the Ancestral Witches, which led to the Ancestral Witches striking first.

Because of this, the gaze Fuxi and Nuwa directed at Li Yun at this moment was filled with rage.

"Fellow Daoists, long time no see!"

Sensing their angry gazes, how could Li Yun not know what was on their minds?

He had escaped by faking his death with a Clone back then, a matter that couldn't be hidden forever. It was thanks to the fact that Fuxi and Nuwa's paths hadn't crossed with his for so many years that he hadn't been exposed.

But things were different now. From their demeanor, it was clear they understood the reason; the things he had done back then had likely been exposed.

"It has indeed been a long time!"

With a cold sneer, Fuxi's expression was grim as he said, "I never imagined that the person my sister and I rescued from Mount Buzhou would actually be a friend of the Wu Clan!"

"I wondered why you were so resistant to leaving with us back then. It turns out you were already closely related to the Wu Clan, and they allowed you to walk freely and search for treasures within Mount Buzhou!"

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, you really played my sister and me for fools."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nuwa also glared at Li Yun.

Only Zhenyuanzi, standing to the side, looked at the three of them—Li Yun, Fuxi, and Nuwa—with some surprise. He never expected there to be such a history between the three of them.

Combining Fuxi's words, he roughly understood the reason.

Back then, the Wu Clan occupied Mount Buzhou. As an associate, Li Yun was granted the right to walk freely within the Wu Clan-controlled Mount Buzhou.

Later, he encountered Fuxi and Nuwa, but Li Yun clearly didn't reveal the true situation. They thought he was a Cultivator trapped in Mount Buzhou and thus took him away.

Combining this with the time he and Hong Yun encountered Li Yun outside the Wu Clan Territory—at that time, he had even warned Li Yun that the Wu Clan Territory ahead would be dangerous—it now seemed that Li Yun had fled from Fuxi and Nuwa and even went to find the Ancestral Witches with information that the Demon God Palace was going to attack the Wu Clan.

This also explained that the slaughter between the Demon God Palace and the Wu Clan back then was because Li Yun's advance leak allowed the Wu Clan to seize the initiative, catching everyone in the Demon God Palace off guard and leading to a complete defeat!

At the thought of this, Zhenyuanzi's gaze toward Li Yun was filled with even more shock and awe.

He never imagined that Li Yun was already so bold back then, playing Fuxi and Nuwa, stealing information from the Demon God Palace, and even acting as a catalyst to scheme against everyone in the Demon God Palace.

However, this also made Zhenyuanzi realize something.

No wonder the Wu Clan and the Ancestral Witches treated Li Yun so well, far exceeding the treatment of those Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivators who joined the Wu Clan by many times over.

Even for matters that others wouldn't dare to speak of, the Ancestral Witches would agree with just a word from Li Yun.

It turned out that Li Yun was the first to cooperate with the Wu Clan, even being the first to provide them with favors and information. If it weren't for the intelligence provided by Li Yun, and if the Demon God Palace had been given enough time to grow and develop, the final outcome of that battle back then would have been truly uncertain.

"You two Fellow Daoists flatter me!"

With a calm smile, Li Yun showed no embarrassment at being exposed.

Each serves their own master; each has their own schemes.

Back then, he did indeed use Fuxi and Nuwa to gather some information, but he saw it through his own abilities rather than because Fuxi and Nuwa proactively shared it with him.

Besides, back then Fuxi and Nuwa also wanted to take him as a subordinate and even restricted him from leaving Xi Huang Palace; their motives were not entirely pure either.

Thinking of this, Li Yun cupped his hands in a salute and said, "I was indeed taken out of Mount Buzhou by you two Fellow Daoists, but don't forget how we met!"

"In the end, it was because you two were chasing Qiong Qi that we met. Even the danger I encountered was caused by you, so I don't owe you anything in this matter!"

"Furthermore, when I was in Xi Huang Palace, you hadn't even joined the Demon God Palace yet. I nearly died at the hands of Dijun—that is a blood feud!"

"Under such circumstances, is there any problem with me retaliating against the Demon God Palace?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fuxi and Nuwa opened their mouths to refute.

But for a moment, they really didn't know what to say and were even somewhat at a loss for words.

Just as Li Yun said, there were reasons for everything that happened back then. If it were them who had almost been killed, they would have retaliated without mercy as well.

"Fellow Daoists—"

At this moment, Zhenyuanzi also understood the reason. With a flash, he appeared in the area beside Li Yun and said in support, "A blood feud is naturally irreconcilable!"

"I believe there is no problem with what Fellow Daoist Li Yun did; it's only natural!"

"Moreover, I roughly understand the situation between the two of you and Fellow Daoist Li Yun. In this matter, Fellow Daoist Li Yun has done nothing to wrong you!"

"If you two wish to make a move, then I, Zhenyuanzi, shall accompany you!"

"Zhenyuanzi, you—"

Their pupils shrank as Fuxi and Nuwa glared at Zhenyuanzi.

They never expected that he would step forward at this time to support Li Yun, even willing to make enemies of them for the sake of Li Yun's mere Golden Immortal Realm cultivation.

Most importantly, this place was still at the edge of the Wu Clan Territory. If it weren't for Zhenyuanzi, suppressing Li Yun with their strength would be nothing.

But with the addition of Zhenyuanzi, it was basically impossible for them to take action against Li Yun, and even... "Brother, calm down—"

At this time, Nuwa was the first to regain her senses and calmed Fuxi's rage. She then turned to look at Li Yun and said, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, what happened in the past is over. My brother and I have no intention of pursuing it further!"

"However, this time we do have a request. I wonder if Fellow Daoist could speak with the Ancestral Witches for us and allow us to go and exchange for the Method of Proving the Dao with Fellow Daoist Di Yi?"
