The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 130

Such a simple sentence conveyed all of Su Yu's sorrow and grievances. The thousand-paper crane, which had been standing quietly after delivering the message, couldn't help but land gently on Su Yu's shoulder upon hearing her words. It flapped its wings and patted her in a comforting manner.

Unable to hold back, Su Yu turned her head and choked out, "You were made by A Li, weren't you?"

The crane hesitated for a moment before nodding, and then everything went black as Su Yu grasped it in her hands.

As the crane struggled, it heard Su Yu's sobs. Her cries were like a lost wanderer in the desert finally finding an oasis, a surge of grievance and pain after seeing hope again.

The crane stiffened and let her hold it. After a while, Su Yu finally calmed down and, somewhat embarrassed, wiped her eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

The small crane shook its head, indicating understanding.

Su Yu, having finally re-established contact with them, didn't want to delay for even a moment. She anxiously asked, "How is Master now? Is she healed?"

"And A Li, are you alright? Can you still maintain your sanity after falling into demonic influence? Is it very hard for you?"

She worried about both Luo Qingci and Ruan Li, like a concerned elder. Even Ruan Li, who had become quite irritable after falling into demonic influence, responded one by one without showing any disdain.

Knowing the crane could only convey limited information, Su Yu chose to update it on the current situation instead.

"When Tian Yan Sect was destroyed, the Sect Master, Lord Zitan, and Lord Nanming fought to the death and were severely injured. We barely escaped thanks to the teleportation arrays left by the sect. However, the dragon clan pursued us relentlessly, attacking anyone from the immortal sects they encountered. Many disciples from various immortal sects were either killed or captured. We had to disperse because of the large number of us and the prominent target we made. I was originally retreating with Lord Nanming, but we encountered the dragon clan midway, and in the chaos, everyone scattered. I managed to find seven or eight disciples from Tian Yan Sect, but the others are missing."

These past events, though described in just a few sentences, were heavy with the weight of blood and tears that had pressed down on Su Yu's shoulders.

"Chaisang has been completely lost, and the dragon clan is rampant. I couldn't stay there, and I dared not use spiritual power recklessly. I had to travel by day and hide by night, leading the few survivors through mountains and rivers, crossing the Weishui River, and finally meeting Cheng Su in Fufeng."

The crane remained still, listening quietly.

Only then did Su Yu realize that the consciousness within this crane came from Ruan Li. Besides being her junior sister, Ruan Li was also a dragon, and Su Yu shouldn't have shared these details with her.

Feeling flustered, she hurriedly said, "A Li, I understand that what the dragon clan has faced is due to the greed of the immortal sects. The suffering endured by the immortal sects now is retribution. I know I shouldn't tell you how miserable I am, but now that the sect is gone, and Master and you are not here, I... I truly don't know what to do."

Having witnessed and experienced these events firsthand, Su Yu's pain was boundless and made her feel utterly helpless.

This was just a short period of suffering for her, while the dragon clan had endured it for decades.

What kind of torment must Ruan Li have endured?

People often say that good deeds are rewarded with good and evil deeds with evil, but in reality, good people always bear more than the evil ones. A person's kindness often comes from their empathy; once they empathize, they endure the same suffering as others.
