"What did you say???"
Zhou Yu’s expression changed a few tis before it returned to calmness.
But inside, a storm was raging.
Cloud King hurriedly explained.
"I know you don’t believe , but this is indeed the truth."
"Your cultivation technique can’t deceive anyone; you’re practicing the Tai Chu Skill that the old man never taught to others, aren’t you?"
"And your alchemy, the Hun Yuan Pill you refined, that’s the old man’s exclusive pill dicine. No other alchemist could possibly know it."
"Therefore, I’m very certain you’re the old man’s disciple!"
Yun Dingtian was right; even the president of the dical Skill Association and the Western Spirit Grandmaster didn’t know about the Hun Yuan Pill. The fundantal reason is that the pill was created by the old man himself.
So Zhou Yu’s face changed.
"Who exactly are you?"
Cloud King gave a bitter laugh and said:
"I’m also the old man’s disciple."
These words left Zhou Yu completely stunned.
"You... you..."
For a mont, Zhou Yu didn’t even know how to respond.
"Senior, are you joking with ?"
Cloud King shook his head.
"My real na is Yun Dingtian, the third disciple of the old man."
"Strictly speaking, we are still fellow disciples."
Zhou Yu’s face instantly turned extrely grim.
"Are you one of the old man’s six rebels?"
Zhou Yu ca to Shanghai to look for the old man’s rebels, and until now, he had no leads. He didn’t expect one of them to just show up so straightforwardly.
And this person is a King Realm Martial Artist.
All of this happened too suddenly.
It caught Zhou Yu completely off guard.
"Rebel?"
Cloud King heard this title and laughed at himself.
"Sure enough, I’ve beco a traitor."
"Ah, fate plays tricks on people."
Seeing Cloud King’s reaction, Zhou Yu felt puzzled.
This reaction seed to indicate there was sothing hidden?
But recalling the assessnt at the venue that day, Cloud King showed no rcy.
At this mont, Zhou Yu’s expression was uncertain, and his mind was in turmoil.
Yun Dingtian seed to see through Zhou Yu’s thoughts.
He smiled bitterly.
"Junior brother, you couldn’t be holding a grudge for what happened during the day, could you?"
"I was acting. Didn’t you see that?"
"You don’t think a true King Realm expert has just that much strength, do you?"
"I had no choice but to resort to this desperate asure."
Yun Dingtian’s words also startled Zhou Yu’s heart.
Indeed, when faced with Yun Dingtian’s three moves, Zhou Yu vaguely felt that although Yun Dingtian attacked viciously, there was no intention to kill.
At that ti, Zhou Yu thought it was his illusion. Now, it seems there was indeed a problem.
Zhou Yu frowned and asked:
"Why act?"
Yun Dingtian sighed:
"I had no choice. Hu City is far from as simple as it appears."
"Don’t be fooled by the small alchemy grandmaster assessnt; you don’t know how many eyes are watching behind it."
"And my identity is extrely sensitive. If I hold back when dealing with you, soone will soon figure out old matters through these clues."
"By then, not only will I be implicated, but even the old man will be affected."
"Of course, his formidable strength is unsurpassed; there are probably few opponents under heaven, but it’s hard to guard against hidden attacks."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu squinted his eyes.
He took a deep breath and asked.
"Alright, since you claim to be the old man’s disciple, tell , what exactly happened back then?"
"Why did you all betray the old man and nearly caused his death?"
Upon hearing this question, Cloud King’s face suddenly turned lancholic.
His expression was dazed, and his thoughts were pulled back over thirty years.
"Everything was because of a legend."
"A legend? What kind of legend?"
"Cultivation legend."
Yun Dingtian slowly uttered four words.
"Cultivation?"
Zhou Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Yun Dingtian nodded, then recalled and said:
"Back then, our six senior and junior disciples and the old man ventured into a forbidden area and obtained a treasure."
"That treasure was called the Heavenly Law Dao Bead!"
"Heavenly Law Dao Bead?" Zhou Yu was stunned.
"Yes."
"This item has a very mysterious origin, possessing mysterious and unfathomable power."
"Most importantly, this item is the key to entering the path of cultivation. Only by possessing it can one embark on the cultivation journey."
"After obtaining this item, the old man realized that its ergence would definitely stir up a storm across the Martial Arts World if it spread out, so he commanded us to keep it strictly confidential."
"However, the temptation of cultivation is far greater than the old man imagined."
"Who wouldn’t want to possess the ability to manipulate the clouds and rain, to have supre power."
"Who wouldn’t want immortality, an indestructible body and soul."
"Who wouldn’t want to be the first to step on the path of cultivation in thousands of years and beco the absolute ruler of this planet."
"Under such imnse temptation, not everyone can maintain their true self."
"So after obtaining the Heavenly Law Dao Bead, my few fellow disciples began secretly plotting to seize it."
"At first, they approached and tested my thoughts, but I refused."
"However, I didn’t expect them to secretly conspire together, and on a night thirty years ago, they ambushed the old man and took the Dao Bead."
"So many things happened that night..."
At this mont, Yun Dingtian’s eyes reflected deep complexity and sorrow.
It’s hard to imagine how many things happened that night.
"After that night, I was also ambushed and severely injured, barely escaping with my life."
"Later, I hid away to heal."
"It took a full three years for to recover."
"After recovering, I imdiately sought to find out about that night’s events and their whereabouts, but three years was enough for them to erase all traces."
"I couldn’t find them or the old man."
"The only information I learned was that the ergence of the Heavenly Law Dao Bead was already known by those truly top-tier powerful forces."
"They all dispatched their own experts to search for the Heavenly Law Dao Bead, including the old man and us six traitors."
"Their forces are too powerful, to the point of despair."
"I don’t know what happened to the others; I could only hide everywhere, and finally, I had no choice but to change my identity and struggle to survive until today."
"All these years, I’ve been trying to find the old man, but there hasn’t been much progress."
"Until yesterday, I saw the Hun Yuan Pill you refined."
"It gave endless hope."
"Then I tested your cultivation technique, and combining these two factors, I confird that you are the old man’s disciple."
