I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

If I had that strength, why would I worry about not being able to avenge the great wrongs done to me?

"Song You, thank you for saving my life," Brother Meng said.

Song You expressed his gratitude with a bow.

"Have you also offended the Wanbao Alliance?" Meng Chong asked with curiosity.

"Not exactly offended the Wanbao Alliance," Song You replied with a shake of his head and a bitter smile.

"Then why? The people chasing you are affiliated with the Wanbao Alliance," Meng Chong said, touching his head in confusion.

"The Song Family was not originally affiliated with the Wanbao Alliance. I am a Song Family descendant, and I was once the young family head…"

Song You’s expression turned somewhat dejected as he thoroughly explained the events that had occurred.

Meng Chong was astounded by Song You’s experiences, which bore some resemblance to his own past.

Song You, son of the former head of the Song Family, one of Baimu City’s top families, was once revered and held in high esteem.

Then, a hundred years ago, his parents participated in suppressing the Heavenly Grotto rebellion and unexpectedly fell in the process.

The position of family head was seized, and he was expelled from the Song Family, with even secret attempts made on his life. If not for the fact that Song You was away rather than in Baimu City at the time, he might have been killed.

The death of his parents was shrouded in mystery; after all, his father was an Immortal Heavenly Venerable. How could he fall so easily?

Thus, he began to secretly investigate, even reaching out to the family elders in the hope of confiding in them, only to suspect that even the elders may have been involved.

Now, everyone in the Song Family appeared to be part of it, and the elders who supported his parents had all died in various "accidents."

It wasn’t until three years ago that Song You discovered a clue.

"My parents’ deaths are likely related to the masked person!" Song You said through gritted teeth.

"Masked person?" Meng Chong took out two masks, one Heavenly Slaughter Mask and one Earth Shadow Mask.

"Which mask is it?" Song You was startled, looking at Meng Chong with shock, momentarily suspecting that Meng Chong was in league with those masked people.

Pointing at the Earth Shadow Mask, he said, "This mask!"

Then, cautiously, he added, "Brother Meng, what is this...?"

"Don’t worry, the owners of these masks have all been killed by me!" Meng Chong said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Song You sighed in relief.

"I truly sympathize with your plight, and the Song Family of today is no longer the Song Family of the past..." Meng Chong said, patting Song You on the shoulder. Song You grimaced from the force, feeling as if his very frame were about to break apart.

"What do you mean, Brother Meng?" Song You’s eyes gleamed. Could it be that Brother Meng was willing to help him?

"Revenge should, of course, be sought by yourself. It is only when you take your own vengeance that it is the most satisfying," Meng Chong said with a smile.

The Song Family of Baimu City, an affiliated force of the Wanbao Alliance, and the headquarters of the Wanbao Alliance in the Changyun Realm were located in Baimu City.

Various signs indicated that the death of Yan Shanhe’s disciple was linked to the Song Family, and it was the Song Family that had framed him.

The Song Family had already become a hidden force of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.

"I do want to take my own revenge, even if it means death. But with my current strength, I would simply be throwing my life away, unable to claim any vengeance at all!" Song You said with a look of utter dejection.

"Although I believe I have decent talent, to break through to the Immortal Realm is too difficult, nearly impossible without some great opportunity or fortune. I fear it is hopeless for me in this lifetime.

"How many more talented individuals have failed to cross into the Immortal Realm? And now, without any power to back me or any mentor to guide me, my talent isn’t monstrous enough.

"Besides, the Song Family will absolutely not allow me to break through the Immortal Realm. They will surely try everything to kill me. If it weren’t for Brother Meng coming to my rescue this time, I would have likely been doomed," Song You continued despairingly.

Meng Chong nodded, understanding that, although Song You appeared young, he was at least a hundred years old. With his talent, without resources or guidance, unless some great fortune came his way, he would likely never break through to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable Realm.

For many True Kings and Heavenly Venerables, the Immortal Realm represented an insurmountable chasm.

Countless talents from major forces have failed to break through the Immortal Realm, unable to take that step.

Those who do break through the Immortal Realm are one in ten thousand.

"Moreover, even if I were to break through the Immortal Realm, I wouldn’t be able to execute the chief culprit," Song You sighed.

The current head of the Song Family, was an Immortal Heavenly Venerable. For a usual Immortal Heavenly Venerable to kill another of their kind, was almost impossible.

"Actually, in your situation, it’s not impossible to seek revenge. If you lack the strength yourself, you can borrow external power,"

Meng Chong touched his bald head and said thoughtfully.

"Brother Meng must be joking. The Song Family is a subsidiary power of the Wanbao Alliance, and they even have an Immortal Heavenly Venerable as a strongbacker. Where would I find external power? Who would be willing to offend the Wanbao Alliance and make an enemy of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable just for me?"

Song You shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I ask you, to have your revenge, are you truly ready to give up even your life?"

Meng Chong asked gravely.

"Of course! As long as I can have my vengeance, what does death matter? Given my predicament, I might be killed any day. Dying without having my revenge is even less worthwhile,"

Song You replied with a determined look in his eyes.

He had thought it through—if dying could lead to his revenge, it was worth it!

"Good, since you are so resolved, I shall offer you some advice!"

Meng Chong said solemnly.

"Advice?"

Song You was puzzled; no matter the advice, it couldn’t possibly allow him to break through to the Immortal Realm, much less avenge himself on his own strength, could it?

"If you want to seek revenge, you must use external power. Ordinary external power won’t be available to you, but you can borrow the power of the Wanbao Alliance,"

Meng Chong said, squinting his eyes, he began to tell Song You how he could get his revenge.

"Brother Meng, how can I use the power of the Wanbao Alliance?"

Song You was utterly confused.

"If someone were to kill the only son of Yan Shanhe, the Alliance Hierarch, even if they did not succeed but merely inflicted serious injuries, what would Yan Shanhe do?"

"He would go mad. No matter who the assailant was, they would be eradicated." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"So, you attack the only son of Yan Shanhe, using the power of the Wanbao Alliance to destroy the Song Family!"

"How could that possibly work?"

Song You was dumbfounded.

He could not fathom, even if he racked his brains, that Meng Chong’s advice would be to attack Yan Shanhe’s only son!

And, if he attacked Yan Shanhe’s only son, wouldn’t he die even quicker?

How would that relate to the Song Family?

Meng Chong sighed. Song You was too dull. How could he not know of such a method of revenge?

He had taken revenge in this very manner before.

The Wanbao Alliance might not be Wu Country, but since the Song Family was a subsidiary force, it would still be considered insubordinate. How could the Alliance not be infuriated?

Furthermore, the Song Family had only been a part of the Wanbao Alliance for a hundred years. They weren’t truly trusted confidants. Plus, Song You was the son of the former head of the Song Family. There was much that could be done with this.

For instance, expelling Song You and the manhunt for him could all be an act, a ploy to exculpate the Song Family when attacking Yan Shanhe’s only son. Explore more stories with empire

If handled correctly, how could Yan Shanhe not suspect the Song Family was involved?

"I did hear that Yan Shanhe’s only son has the potential to break through to Immortal Heavenly Venerable status. He’s Yan Shanhe’s Achilles’ heel—anyone who touches it dies.

"You attack Yan Shanhe’s only son, implicating the Song Family in the matter, making it appear as if the Song Family intentionally exiled you, faked your parents’ deaths, and that an organization affiliated with your family is plotting something major. The target of the Changyun Realm is the Wanbao Alliance..."

Meng Chong meticulously advised Song You on how to implicate the Song Family and how to accidentally reveal certain secrets.

"The Song Family has only allied with the Wanbao Alliance for a hundred years. Do you think they have become a trusted core power of the Alliance? That they are completely trusted?"

Meng Chong said with a chuckle.

Song You was stunned. Could one really seek revenge like this?

Looking at Meng Chong, who appeared less than cunning or crafty, Song You was astounded. How could such an incredible strategy for revenge come from him?

"Brother Meng, you are a genius!"

Song You exclaimed, excited.

"It’s settled then, this can be done, the Song Family is doomed!"

At that moment, Song You’s blood boiled, and he could hardly wait to attack Yan Shanhe’s only son.

However, he soon felt deflated, "Brother Meng, Yan Shanhe’s only son is bound to have escorts, and they are surely not weak. I even suspect that an Immortal Heavenly Venerable may be secretly protecting him!"

After all, having dealt with someone as fierce as Meng Chong, Yan Shanhe would be afraid Meng Chong might kill his only son, and the security around the son would have greatly increased.

"That’s a minor issue. I already have a grudge against the Wanbao Alliance. Distracting the Immortal Heavenly Venerable to create an opportunity for you is simple."

Meng Chong said cheerfully.

"But, my own strength is also lacking a bit."

Song You said with a grimace. Even using a secret technique, he wouldn’t be able to kill Yan Shanhe’s only son. To say nothing of killing, he wouldn’t even be able to injure him.

"Well then, I’ll just have to help you out once more."

Meng Chong sighed. Song You’s strength was indeed a bit insufficient, and without external help, he couldn’t accomplish this task.
