"Senior Brother Wu Chen, do you know him?"

"Know him? Hmph, I'd recognize that bastard even if he turned to ash."

Old Daoist Wuchen spoke through gritted teeth.

Li Yun was a bit surprised. He could tell that Old Daoist Wuchen had a grudge against this man named Tang Chuan, and it was a grudge as deep as the sea.

From the time he had met Old Daoist Wuchen until now, he had never seen him harbor such burning hatred.

Today was definitely the first time.

"Senior Brother Wu Chen, what exactly is going on? Tell me. If there's a debt to be paid, we'll pay it. I'll help you... Even if I can't kill him, I'll call Bai Youruo. If Bai Youruo can't kill him, I'll find a Fusion Realm expert... I refuse to believe we can't kill him!"

Old Daoist Wuchen looked at Li Yun in shock.

"You even know a Fusion Realm expert?"

"Uh... we'll talk about that later. First, tell me about this Tang Chuan."

"Alright."

With Li Yun's interruption, Old Daoist Wuchen's expression recovered somewhat.

He only let out a sigh of lament.

"Do you remember the Shaking Heaven Palace I mentioned to you?"

"Shaking Heaven Palace? I remember... You said they are also Dao Seeds of the Wuwei Dao Palace, but they seem to have formed a powerful gang that specifically uses the Spiritual Mind Dao Palace to commit swindling and deceptive acts."

"Correct. This Tang Chuan is a member of Shaking Heaven Palace."

"He's from Shaking Heaven Palace? That's not right. Since he's appearing here, it's clear he's a member of the Heaven and Earth Tower... Oh, I see. On the surface, he belongs to the Heaven and Earth Tower, but he actually has another identity—he's also from Shaking Heaven Palace!"

"That should be it."

"I'm not too clear about him being part of the Heaven and Earth Tower, but it's absolutely certain he's from Shaking Heaven Palace... I've seen him. That piece of trash is also the murderer who killed my Guide."

"What? There's more to it?"

Li Yun was greatly surprised. Now he finally understood why Old Daoist Wuchen hated this man named Tang Chuan so much.

In the Wuwei Dao Palace, unlike other sects, there weren't clear generational Inheritance relationships like Grandmasters, Shifus, disciples, and grand-disciples... what mattered was the 'guidance'.

When one person brought another into the Wuwei Dao Palace, they became that person's Guide. The relationship was not that of Shifu and apprentice, but rather senior and junior brothers.

Generally, to avoid the risk of exposing their identities, a Guide wouldn't bring too many people into the Wuwei Dao Palace; it was basically a single-line connection.

Meaning, usually one person led in one other person.

With fewer people, the relationship was closer.

It was also less likely to have many conflicts of interest, so the bonds between them were often incredibly deep.

Take Li Yun and Old Daoist Wuchen, for example.

In Li Yun's heart, Old Daoist Wuchen was a trustworthy elder brother.

If someone really did something to Old Daoist Wuchen, Li Yun would absolutely not sit by and watch.

By the same logic, the bond between Old Daoist Wuchen and his Guide Senior Brother was just as tight. In Old Daoist Wuchen's heart, that Guide Senior Brother was no different from a father.

Because Old Daoist Wuchen had been an orphan since childhood, unwanted by anyone. At seven or eight years old, he was wandering the streets, starving, even having to fight stray dogs for food.

It was his Guide Senior Brother who took him in, taught him how to cultivation hand-in-hand, and led him to become a Dao Seed of the Wuwei Dao Palace.

With such a deep relationship, it would be strange if Old Daoist Wuchen didn't feel hatred upon seeing Tang Chuan, the man who killed his Guide Senior Brother.

"Yes..."

"Eight hundred years ago, this bastard pretended to make a trade with my Guide Senior Brother. He not only forcibly stole a Heaven Grade heavenly and earthly treasures from my Senior Brother's hands but also killed him."

"I wasn't there at the time."

"But my Senior Brother mastered a secret technique. Before he died, he transmitted Tang Chuan's appearance and the entire process of the murder to me."

"My Senior Brother knew the other party's background and feared he would target me too. He warned me to be careful of this man and forbade me from seeking revenge. But how could I not?"

"For these eight hundred years, I have thought day and night about finding this Tang Chuan and slaughtering him with my own hands!"

"Regrettably, I simply couldn't find him. Moreover, my strength is too weak. To this day, I have only barely reached the Dao Seed Realm... the gap between me and his Original Dao Realm is simply too vast."

Hearing this, Li Yun immediately let out a cold snort. "What's there to be afraid of? So what if he's in the Original Dao Realm? It's not like the Original Dao Realm is truly invincible!"

"If we hadn't run into him, that would be one thing. But since we have, let's take him down!"

Li Yun's gaze swept toward Tang Chuan, and a very dangerous light involuntarily flickered in his eyes.

He wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's business, nor did he think he had any special connection with Old Daoist Wuchen's Guide Senior Brother.

However, since he was Old Daoist Wuchen's enemy, that made him Li Yun's enemy as well.

Seeing Li Yun's reaction, Old Daoist Wuchen was instead startled.

He hurriedly grabbed Li Yun's arm.

"Kid, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive... Although I want to kill him more than anything, there's no rush."

"The opponent is in the Original Dao Realm. If the two of us just attack recklessly, we wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. You absolutely, absolutely must not act rashly."

Li Yun turned his head and smiled.

"Senior Brother Wu Chen, do I look like the kind of person who likes to act rashly?"

"I am very calm right now."

"I've thought about it carefully. As long as we get this guy alone and give it our all, I can take him down without Bai Youruo even needing to lift a finger!"

"Ah..."

Old Daoist Wuchen froze, his face wearing an expression that said 'are you talking nonsense?'

Li Yun was only in the Celestial Human Realm.

The difference between the Celestial Human Realm and the Original Dao Realm was a full four Realms. Even if Li Yun's Celestial Human Realm was special, being the rare Nine Thunder Mythical Celestial, it was impossible to bridge such a gap.

To kill someone in the Original Dao Realm? Even a sneak attack would be impossible.

Old Daoist Wuchen took a deep breath.

"Kid, I think I need to have a good talk with you. Seriously, there's no rush for this. I've endured for eight hundred years; do you think I can't wait another eight hundred?"

"I know you want to vent this grievance for me, but we can't be impatient."

"Wait a bit longer... With your talent, your cultivation will soon catch up to mine, and even catch up to that Tang Chuan. When the time comes, if you really want to vent this grievance for me, I won't stop you, okay?"

"Let's go back first... alright?"

"Consider it a favor to your old brother..."

Li Yun was speechless. Why didn't this Senior Brother believe in people?

However, he also knew Old Daoist Wuchen meant well. He didn't want to see Li Yun throw his life away by recklessly attempting a sneak attack on Tang Chuan just to vent his anger.

"Fine, fine, I'll listen to you. But since we're already here, let's at least listen to what they have to say, alright?"

"Uh, as long as you don't impulsively try a sneak attack, listening is fine."

Only when Old Daoist Wuchen assumed Li Yun had taken his words to heart did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
