Liu Qingyun showed no concern for the so-called official positions and said with a gentle smile on his face, "Fame and fortune are but passing clouds to me. I descended from the mountain to help Big Brother Lu, to avenge the deep-seated hatred of my clan, and to seek the opportunity for Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishment. Once these matters are resolved, I will return to my master's side to continue my cultivation."
It was then that Lu Zhang realized Liu Qingyun was different from them; they were ordinary people in pursuit of fame and wealth. Having been accustomed to luxury from a young age and having faced great adversity, Liu Qingyun had long developed a detached perspective, and his descent from the mountain was merely to settle karmic debts.
The news of Lu Zhang ascending the throne in Zhongzhou rapidly spread in all directions, which was like a bolt from the blue for the already teetering Great Chen Dynasty.
