Chu Li disappeared instantly, and their palm energies hit empty air.

With the glint of a sword, the head of the round-face Elder soared in the air as blood spurted out.

“Junior Brother!” The square-faced Elder cried before charging at Chu Li.

Chu Li slammed a palm on the square-faced Elder’s chest and suddenly appeared two hundred feet away. He lightly brandished his long blade and sheathed it while shaking his head. “What a shame. You can no longer go back!”

The red light in the square-faced Elder faded and he regained his burly figure. He glared intently at Chu Li.

Chu Li smiled, “Senior really took great pains, but did your scheme work in the end?”

The square-faced Elder had been scheming against him. At first glance, he wanted to silence the round-faced Elder to prevent his identity from being revealed, but he instead used this to fool Chu Li, giving the false impression that he wanted to work together with Chu Li. The truth was that he conspired with the round-faced Elder to kill Chu Li.

The round-faced Elder had not been acting initially, but when the square-faced Elder recounted the time when they first joined the Church of the Divine Blood, he grew calm and convinced that it was his original Senior Brother. He no longer had any doubts and cooperated with the square-faced Elder.

Their cooperation was wordless, and they could understand what each other meant with a single glance. Others would not have noticed, but Chu Li’s Omniscient Mirror caught it. It could only be said that they were unlucky.

Chu Li beat them at their own game. They were baiting him, but he had been doing the same. He took advantage of their confidence in winning in battle and struck the round-faced Elder with a fatal blow at the critical moment.

Of course, he could not kill the square-faced Elder, who was from the Heavenly Demonic Sect. It was the reason why he came to the Bo Dynasty.

However, to be able to come up with such a deadly trap in the twinkling of an eye, it let him have a preliminary understanding of the Heavenly Demonic Sect. They were not easy to deal with.

The square-faced Elder took a deep breath. He looked at the corpse on the ground and shook his head helplessly. Junior Brother would not expose him, but the person in front of him who cultivated Heavenly Demonic Power was a nuisance!

Chu Li asked, “Is Senior really from the Heavenly Demonic Sect?”

“That’s right,” The square-faced Elder scoffed. “Who are you? How did you cultivate Heavenly Demonic Power?”

All Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples have an imprint on their palm that only other Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples could see. However, although this brat knew Heavenly Demonic Power, he did not have the mark, showing that he was not a Heavenly Demonic Sect disciple.

Chu Li said, “I obtained the Legacy of Heavenly Demonic Power by accident and cultivated it. I heard that the Bo Dynasty had the Legacy of Heavenly Demonic Power, so I came to learn how to cultivate it.”

“Hmph, you’re lucky!” The square-faced Elder said lowly. “I’m Qu Jing!”

“Senior Qu, then. I am Du Feng.” Chu Li said. “Could Senior Qu lead me to the Heavenly Demonic Sect?”

“You want to join the Heavenly Demonic Sect?” Qu Jing frowned at him.

He had some fear of the youth in front of him. To be able to see through his stratagem, it could be said that he was a very clever child.

Heavenly Demonic Power was very challenging to cultivate, and the Heavenly Demonic Sect had fewer people than other sects. Having sparse numbers had always been the Heavenly Demonic Power’s weakness, so people who could cultivate Heavenly Demonic Power were precisely what the Heavenly Demonic Sect needed.

Chu Li nodded. “I’ve only obtained the legacy and don’t know how to cultivate it. It’s very difficult for me to advance alone, so I want to join the Heavenly Demonic Sect. I just don’t know if the Heavenly Demonic Sect would be willing to accept an unknown person like me.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Qu Jing shook his head. “As long as you cultivate Heavenly Demonic Power, you’ll be welcomed by the Heavenly Demonic Sect! …However, after entering the Heavenly Demonic Sect, there’ll be some restrictions. Sect rules can’t be broken, and cultivation secrets won’t be obtained for free. They’re obtained through contributions.”

“Of course, I understand. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Chu Li laughed. “I only want to take the Heavenly Demonic Power to the next level!”

“…Very well, follow me.” Qu Jing slowly nodded and said, “I’ll bring you to the Heavenly Demonic Sect!”

“Thank you, Senior!” Chu Li revealed a smile.

Qu Jing shook his head. “It’s a two-day trip. Do you have any personal matters to attend to?”

“No.” Chu Li said.

“Then let’s go.” Qu Jing replied.

He fluttered to the trees and walked on the treetops like a gust of wind.

Chu Li followed closely from behind.

Although he still felt slightly weak, his inner energy was endless. Despite that, he could not drive away the feeling of weakness.

The two men conversed as they traveled.

Qu Jing introduced Chu Li to some general knowledge regarding the Heavenly Demonic Sect. He could see that Chu Li’s Light-body Technique was very good, and quickened his pace.

The journey was supposed to take two days, but as they stayed up, they managed the trip in just one day. In the evening, Qu Jing took out a mask from his pocket and handed it to Chu Li. “Put this on. The Heavenly Demonic Sect can’t be known by outsiders.”

Chu Li took the mask without hesitation and put it on. His vision instantly became pitch-black.

This mask was more thorough than a blindfold, and left no opportunity to peek.

Qu Jing tugged at Chu Li’s sleeve and fluttered over. They quickly reached a mountain before entering a cave halfway up the mountain.

This cave was protected by a formation. From an outsider’s view, it was just a cliff covered in moss.

The two entered the wide cave. They stepped in a particular sequence on special positions to avoid triggering the mechanisms and safely exited to a valley far away.

The valley was surrounded by mountains. The temperature was warm as spring and the flowers were flourishing.

In the center was a lake around a hundred meters long. The water’s surface was clear, without waves, and reflected the red-tinted sky.

A row of pavilions was built along the mountain, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the valley.

Not far from the lake was a dense forest, and inside it was a martial arts field. However, there were only very few people using it. The entire valley only had around a hundred people. It was a large amount for a small sect, but it was very small for a large sect.

Qu Jing brought him to a hall and exclaimed, “Disciple Qu Jing greets Elder!”

“Enter!” There was a huge and lifelike Heavenly Demonic Statue in the hall. At the foot of the statue was a cattail hassock, where a thin and tall old man with a white beard and lean face sat.

Qu Jing brought Chu Li into the hall and saluted respectfully. “Greetings, Elder Bai.”

Elder Bai said, “Take off the mask.”

Chu Li took off the mask and revealed his face.

Elder Bai looked intently at Chu Li and nodded with satisfaction. “Who is this?”

Chu Li fist saluted. “Greetings, Elder Bai. I am Du Feng, from the Ji Dynasty. I coincidentally came across the legacy of your Heavenly Demonic Power, but unfortunately, there was no one to instruct me on how to cultivate it. Thus, I have come to join the Heavenly Demonic Sect.”

“Oh…” Elder Bai appraised him and said, “You obtained the Legacy of Heavenly Demonic Power?”

Chu Li told the story again without lying.

Elder Bai and Qu Jing were thoughtful.

“Very well. The Heavenly Demonic Sect has always had a lack of disciples. Since you arrived, we welcome you!” Elder Bai revealed a smile. “However, after entering the sect, you should know that your life will not be easy. You need to work hard and make contributions to the clan.”

“As long as I can improve my cultivation, nothing else matters.” Chu Li declared.

Elder Bai revealed a smile. “You have a deep grudge?”

Chu Li was shocked and hesitated.

“Let’s hear it.” Elder Bai laughed. “We’ll see if your revenge can be settled. If it can’t, then you don’t need to enter the sect.”

Chu Li said lowly, “I want to kill an Enlightened Master!”

“An Enlightened Master…” Elder Bai shook his head. “You can’t kill an Enlightened Master.”

“…Is there anything that can harm an Enlightened Master?” Chu Li asked doggedly.

“Hm…” Elder Bai pondered before saying slowly, “There are several secret skills that can harm an Enlightened Master.”
