"The elders are still in discussion, unable to come to a conclusion." Zhe Ying flashed a charming smile. "Brother Du, you're quite popular. Elder Bai has been protecting you all this while and is preparing to let you join the Heavenly Demonic Sect. After that, he will punish you according to the sect's rules."
Chu Li looked at him quietly. "Thank you very much, Elder Bai."
Although Chu Li did not have the Omniscient Mirror and could not read Zhe Ying's mind, he knew that this was just a prelude to what Zhe Ying wanted to say.
"Elder Du and the others, on the other hand, want to kill you directly." Zhe Ying was all smiles as he said, "That's because you've found out something that you shouldn't have. Furthermore, you've snuck in with ulterior motives. I'd rather kill the wrong person than let you go."
"What about you? What do you want? "Chu Li asked calmly.
Zhe Ying chuckled. "I heard that you've mastered the sixth level of the Heavenly Demonic Power, Brother Du?"
"Not bad." Chu Li nodded.
Zhe Ying smiled and said, "I'm an official disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect. I've been cultivating the Heavenly Demonic Power since I was young, but I've only reached the fifth level. Furthermore, I've been severely injured this time, so I'm afraid that it'll take some time for me to recover my cultivation level. I've always prided myself on being a genius, but I'm nothing compared to you, Brother Du. I'm ashamed!"
Chu Li frowned and looked at him. "You're not here to praise me, are you?"
Zhe Ying said, "I'm here to discuss something with Brother Du."
"Discuss what?" Chu Li had a bad feeling about this. Zhe Ying was laughing happily as if something good was about to happen, but it was definitely not a good thing for him.
"I'd like to borrow Brother Du's Heavenly Demonic Orb." Zhe Ying flashed a charming smile. "It can help me improve my cultivation level."
"How do I borrow the Heavenly Demonic Orb?" Chu Li scoffed.
He sighed inwardly. Sure enough, it was nothing good.
The so-called borrowing, it was definitely borrowing without returning. It was just a nice way of putting it.
Either he could not keep his Heavenly Demonic Orb or he did not know how to take it away. Could it be that Zhe Ying could devour his Heavenly Demonic Orb just like how he had devoured the Blood Hearts of the powerhouses from the Church of the Divine Blood?
His heart sank when he thought of this, and he frowned as he looked at Zhe Ying. He had a vague feeling that he had guessed correctly!
Zhe Ying's smile widened. "Brother Du, have you heard of the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique?"
"I know," Chu Li said, "I heard that it can hurt Enlightened Masters."
"Hehe …" Zhe Ying chuckled and said, "The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique is incredibly powerful, and it can indeed injure an Enlightened Master. However, only those who have reached the seventh or eighth level of the Heavenly Demonic Power will stand a chance."
Chu Li frowned. "You know the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique?"
"Of course." Zhe Ying grinned and said, "For the sake of Brother Du, I purposely learned it two days ago, so it's a little early. Logically speaking, one should only be able to start cultivating the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique at the seventh level."
Chu Li had a bad feeling about this and asked, "What are you planning to do with the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique?"
"The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique was able to devour Brother Du's Heavenly Demonic Orb and push my level to the sixth level." Zhe Ying rubbed his palms together and smiled. "You've done me a great favor and I can't thank you enough!"
Chu Li frowned at him and said nothing.
Zhe Ying sighed. "If I were to cultivate on my own, it would take me at least five years to reach the sixth level! … Brother Du has saved me five years of effort, I am truly grateful! "
Chu Li said, "Advancing the Heavenly Demonic Power requires a state of mind to comprehend. What's the use of devouring more Heavenly Demonic Orbs!"
Zhe Ying shook his head and smiled. "Brother Du, there's something you don't know. Devouring the Heavenly Demonic Orb will directly devour the state of mind along with the Heavenly Demonic Orb. It'll be a piece of cake for you to advance to the next level. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Chu Li said, "The elders haven't decided how to deal with me yet. How dare you treat me like this?"
"Hehe …" Zhe Ying sighed and looked at him sympathetically. "Brother Du, it looks like you're still holding on to your hope. Do you really think that you'll survive this?"
"Are you really going to kill me?" Chu Li frowned.
Zhe Ying nodded. "Most likely, Brother Du is going to die! … It's your fault for not being a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect. But don't worry, Brother Du, you still have relatives and friends in the Ji Dynasty, don't you? "
Chu Li asked, "So what if I do and so what if I don't?"
"Brother Du, why do you have to do this?" Zhe Ying sighed. "I actually want to help you, Brother Du."
Chu Li looked at him calmly. "Then I really have to thank you."
Zhe Ying said, "Wouldn't it be a waste of the Heavenly Demonic Orb if you die in vain? Why don't you give it to me? I can live on your behalf. I'll go to the Ji Dynasty and take care of your parents or women on your behalf. "
A murderous intent rose from the bottom of his heart, but he suppressed it and did not show it on his face. He said, "Thank you. Unfortunately, my parents are dead and I don't have any women. I'm all alone, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Brother Du, why lie to me? You have a woman." Zhe Ying chuckled. "She's a disciple of Snow Lunar Pavilion, right? I heard that the disciples of Snow Lunar Pavilion in the Ji Dynasty are all beautiful. I'd like to meet them. Brother Du, don't worry. I'll take good care of them. "
Chu Li smiled. "You've done a thorough investigation. How many days have I been unconscious?"
"Five days and five nights." Zhe Ying smiled. "I'm really envious of your life, Brother Du. As long as I borrow your Heavenly Demonic Orb, I'll be able to recover quickly and improve my Heavenly Demonic Power. Then, I'll be able to take my revenge and go to the Ji Dynasty to continue living as Brother Du."
"Take my revenge?" Chu Li asked calmly.
Zhe Ying said, "I was injured by a disciple of Plain Maiden Palace. That girl is beautiful but ruthless. If I can cultivate the sixth level of Heavenly Demonic Power, I'll be able to capture her and teach her a lesson. She'll be obedient!"
Chu Li said, "Then I wish you all the best!"
"Haha, thank you, Brother Du!" Zhe Ying laughed and shook his head. "If that's the case, let's do it."
Chu Li frowned at him. "Are you really going to do it?"
"Of course." Zhe Ying smiled. "I've mastered the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique. Don't worry, Brother Du. It won't be painful. I'll recover soon."
He reached out his palm and placed it on top of Chu Li's chest, where the Heavenly Demonic Orb was.
"Hold on!" Chu Li said.
Zhe Ying looked at him but did not remove his palm. He smiled. "What else do you have to say, Brother Du?"
Chu Li said, "I'd like to ask, why haven't I seen the sect leader?"
"Oh, the sect leader." Zhe Ying smiled. "The sect leader has been cultivating in isolation all this time and doesn't attend to any affairs all year round. Almost everything in the sect is handled by the elders, and they make decisions together. That's why you're out of luck."
"What's the reason for that?" Chu Li asked.
Zhe Ying said, "That's because there was a disciple of Heavenly Demonic Sect who was in the same situation as you. He brought his skills with him and eventually wanted to rebel against the sect. Fortunately, he was suppressed in time and didn't cause a disaster. Otherwise, Heavenly Demonic Sect would be in danger!"
Chu Li frowned. "Isn't there a test to examine one's heart?"
"People change easily. Although it's accurate to examine one's heart, it's impossible to examine one's heart all the time." Zhe Ying sighed and said, "I heard that he's also a peerless genius. Unfortunately, you're just like him. Seeing you like this, the four elders feel like they're looking at that person from back then, so they're determined to kill you."
Chu Li took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
Zhe Ying placed his right palm on top of his chest and a strange force entered his body. His internal organs shook as if they were being pushed by a wave. Then, he felt his body float.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb, which he had not felt before, still did not feel like it belonged to him.
Zhe Ying frowned and smiled. "Brother Du, your Heavenly Demonic Orb is so pure!"
Chu Li's chest was filled with rage and a strong sense of unwillingness, but he did not act rashly. He knew that it would be futile, so he might as well not move.
