Chapter 462: Hard to accept!
From then on, Mu Chengyun, who had originally a calm personality, became depressed.
He is no longer as reserved and steady as before, but often falls into deep thought.
There was often a subtle hint of jealousy and resentment in his eyes.
That look was like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.
Mu Chengyun really couldn't understand all this.
He has always been diligent in his practice and is loyal to Qianluo Palace.
But why did he lose to his junior fellow apprentice Yu who only knew how to play and have fun all day?
This made him feel extremely angry and desperate.
The resentment in his heart was like a surging tide, constantly rolling and crashing deep in his heart.
This feeling of resentment continued to spread and grow in his heart, gradually making him become somewhat paranoid and extreme.
Despite this, he still tried hard to control his emotions and remained respectful to Yu Yu on the surface.
However, secretly, he began to plot, trying to find an opportunity to pull Yu down from the position of Holy Son in order to satisfy his own ambitions.
He was unwilling to be surpassed by Yu Yu, and even more unwilling to lose his rightful status and glory.
The second disciple, Yu, was fully aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders after becoming the Holy Son of Qianluo Palace.
He decisively put aside his former liveliness and devoted himself wholeheartedly to study and practice, working diligently and not daring to slack off in the slightest.
He understood that only in this way could he live up to the Palace Master's earnest expectations and truly shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Son of God.
Time flies, and ten years have passed.
Yu gradually grew up and became more mature and stable.
He managed Qianluo Palace in an orderly manner, and all affairs in the palace were carried out in an orderly manner under his careful arrangement.
Qianluo Palace was prosperous and everyone was excited.
However, at this moment, Mu Chengyun discovered that his plan to secretly seize the position of the Son of God had failed.
So he came up with a plan and decided to temporarily leave Qianluo Palace under the guise of training.
During those days outside, he was obsessed with power and kept searching for more powerful power like a demon.
There was a fanatical fire burning in his eyes, and his character became more and more paranoid and extreme, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness, unable to extricate himself.
He exuded an aura that was almost insane.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another fifteen years have passed.
On the day when Yu ascended the throne of the Lord of Qianluo Palace, Mu Chengyun, who had been wandering outside for fifteen years, finally returned to Qianluo Palace.
At this moment, Qianluo Palace, under the wise leadership of Yu Yu, is in a golden age of vigorous development, stability and prosperity.
He presented himself as a fair, selfless and righteous person, and was respected and loved by everyone in the hall, with a very high prestige.
However, Mu Chengyun's return was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking this hard-earned peace.
……
After Yu Rong finished telling this story, his face looked a little sad, and he stared at Su Chenyin with a complicated expression.
After hearing this story, Su Chenyin raised his eyebrows slightly and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
She thought to herself: Wait... why does this plot seem so familiar?
This... isn't this exactly the common plot in those melodramatic novels I've read in modern times?
Brothers turned against each other because of the temptation of power and status, and eventually fell into endless disputes?
She couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, thinking that the world is really full of wonders.
Su Chenyin collected his thoughts and asked softly, "What happened next?"
Yu Rong sighed lightly and continued, "After our eldest disciple Mu Chengyun came back from training outside, he pretended to be respectful and courteous to Yu Yu and old Palace Master Luo Hongzhen, always greeting them with a smile."
"But Mu Chengyun secretly..."
However, Mu Chengyun was secretly planning a terrible conspiracy, calculating how to usurp the position of Palace Master.
He was jealous of Yu becoming the Son of God and eventually ascending to the position of Palace Master, and believed that all of this should have belonged to him.
His heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness. He had completely lost his former kindness and integrity and became sinister, cunning, and ruthless.
Su Chenyin listened and pursed her lips tightly: "Didn't Yu Yu and the others notice it?"
Yu Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yu Yu always thought that Mu Chengyun was still the calm and reserved senior brother. He was completely defenseless against Mu Chengyun."
"And the old hall master Luo Hongzhen was also immersed in the joy of his favorite disciple's return, and never thought that danger was approaching."
"As for Mu Chengyun, after returning from his training at Qianluo Palace, he never left Qianluo Palace again."
"In order to usurp the position of Palace Master, he began to frequently contact some of the elders of Qianluo Palace who had ill intentions, and secretly tried to win them over."
"These elders were deceived by his sweet words and benefits, and gradually sided with him."
"and……"
Moreover, Mu Chengyun also instigated those disciples who harbored resentment towards the old hall master and Yu Yu.
These people are blinded by power and desire. They are willing to do whatever it takes for their own personal gain, even at the cost of betraying the beliefs and principles of Qianluo Palace.
Gradually, Mu Chengyun secretly organized these elders and disciples to form his own evil force.
What's worse is that Mu Chengyun secretly used various despicable means to sow discord, quietly spread rumors, and discredit Yu Yu's reputation.
Under his instigation, some disciples of Qianluo Palace also began to doubt and feel dissatisfied with Yu Yu, causing Yu Yu's prestige in the palace to decline.
At the same time, he carefully planned one conspiracy after another in an attempt to overthrow Yu and seize the position of the master of Qianluo Palace.
Even more frightening is...
Mu Chengyun also secretly stirred up trouble in the palace, creating conflicts and contradictions, causing the originally united Qianluo Palace to gradually split into two factions.
One faction firmly supports Yu Yu, while the other faction blindly follows Mu Chengyun.
This internal division and strife plunged Qianluo Palace into chaos and turmoil, and the atmosphere was filled with chaos and foul smells.
However, Yu Yu did not notice these huge changes in Mu Chengyun at first, and still treated him with sincere brotherhood.
However, as Mu Chengyun's sinister behavior became more and more obvious, Yu Yu finally slowly realized that something was wrong.
In the end, Mu Chengyun secretly poisoned and killed the highly respected old palace master Luo Hongzhen.
After a thorough diagnosis, the doctor announced to everyone in Qianluo Palace that the old palace master had passed away due to the psychological damage caused by his practice.
But Yu Yu firmly believes that there must be some clues.
So, relying on his keen intuition, he decided to conduct a secret investigation.
After a difficult and tortuous investigation, Yu Yu unexpectedly discovered that the mastermind behind this incident was actually his senior brother Mu Chengyun.
This fact shocked him!
Difficult to accept!
