Elder Bai and the others remained silent.
They were a little worried that the sect leader would not show any mercy once he came out of closed-door cultivation to hunt down Zhe Ying. They were afraid that he would not allow Zhe Ying to return to the sect and would kill him right away!
If they went out to hunt him down, they would capture him alive, cripple his martial arts and imprison him. No matter what, he would still be able to live. No matter how severe the punishment was, he would still be able to keep his life. If he didn't have martial arts, then he didn't have martial arts. It was better to be an ordinary person.
In fact, they had never expected him to become a top-notch master in the world. They only hoped that he could be safe and healthy. It would be better for him to stay in the valley.
Jiang Ziwen could tell what they were thinking, so he scoffed and said, "Senior Brother Bai, Zhe Ying's life is at stake now, so you can't be bothered with personal feelings anymore. If you make a move now, Zhe Ying will definitely take advantage of your soft-heartedness and we might not be able to capture him. What if he reveals this secret to the whole world?"
"No." Elder Du shook his head and said, "He knows what's important."
"Humph, how could he have done such a thing if he knew the severity of the situation?" Jiang Ziwen sneered, "He was spoiled by you all!"
The faces of the four Grand Elders were ugly, but they had nothing to say.
If they had not allowed him to devour Du Feng's Heavenly Demonic Orb, this would not have happened. An eye for an eye, his retribution had come so quickly!
Yu Xuanshi sighed and said, "Junior Brother Jiang is right. At this time, we can't talk about personal feelings anymore. The safety of the religion comes first!"
"… Alright, we can only ask the Sect Master to come out of seclusion." Elder Li sighed and said, "I don't know if this is the critical moment for the Sect Master to come out of seclusion."
With that, the four of them got up and left the hall, heading straight for the depths of the valley.

The Heavenly Demonic Orb was still asleep, so Chu Li activated his inner energy to travel quickly.
There was a sense of urgency in the depths of his heart. The image of Heavenly Devil Sect Master kept flashing in his mind, and he was worried that he might not be able to deal with him if the sect master decided to hunt him down. More importantly, he wondered if the sect master could see through his disguise.
He wanted to get to Jian An City, the capital of the Fu Dynasty as soon as possible.
However, he did not know the way, so he walked along the official road.
That evening, when the sun was setting, he arrived at a bustling city.
This city was as prosperous as the Divine Capital. The wide streets were crowded with people and carriages.
He could not help but gasp in admiration. The architectural style of this city was different from that of the Ji Dynasty. It was rough and bold, yet grand. The streets were twice as wide as those in the Fairy's Capital, and the houses were twice as big as those in the Fairy's Capital. However, they were not as exquisite as those in the Fairy's Capital.
Chu Li found a restaurant and sat down. He sat alone at a table and listened to the discussions around him.
This was a table on the third floor. The seat by the window had already been taken, and the ones who spoke the loudest were the four middle-aged men at the table by the window. They were all armed with long swords and sabers, and their auras were imposing.
They were all Innate Masters and could be considered as second-rate masters in the martial arts world. They could do whatever they wanted in a small place and dominate an area.
"The Church of the Divine Blood and the Ultimate Temple have been fighting fiercely for the past few days. It seems like the Ultimate Temple is not as weak as everyone thought. They are very powerful!"
"After all, it's one of the eight great sects. No matter how weak it is, it's not something an ordinary sect can compare to."
"A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse."
"I heard that the disciples of the Plain Maiden Palace are also involved?"
"The disciples of the Plain Maiden Palace wanted to mediate, but they heard that the Church of the Divine Blood refused to budge and wanted to continue fighting. Therefore, the Plain Maiden Palace began to help the Ultimate Temple. This time, the Church of the Divine Blood is in trouble. They're getting more and more arrogant. Someone should teach them a lesson!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. The Plain Maiden Palace.
He saw a disciple of the Plain Maiden Palace in Zhe Ying's mind. She was beautiful and delicate, but she was very cruel when she fought. Zhe Ying was beaten up miserably and humiliated so much that he almost lost his life.
Although Chu Li felt that the beating was satisfying, he was quite afraid of this delicate woman's way of doing things. It would be troublesome to meet such a woman, so it was better to avoid her.
"It seems that other than the Church of the Divine Blood, the Great One Palace is also involved. It's very chaotic."
"The Great One Palace and the Church of the Divine Blood have a grudge against each other, but they also have a grudge against the Ultimate Temple and the Plain Maiden Palace."
"Sigh … It's lively, but it's a little scary."
"When the Immortals fight, the little ones suffer!"
After the four of them said this, they fell silent.
Although they were Innate Masters, they were like ants in the eyes of the eight major sects. They would not care about them at all. Once they encountered two groups of people fighting, they would die if they were not careful. This really made them feel indignant and helpless.
In the martial arts world, the strong were respected, and this was the reality.
Chu Li saw what they were thinking and sighed to himself. Everyone wanted to be the top master in the world and live with their heads held high. However, not everyone could be a master. Most of the time, people had higher aspirations than heaven and their lives were thinner than paper.
He was a little curious. He did not know what the disciples of the Great One Palace were like and what kind of martial arts they used.
In his opinion, the Less Ultimate Sword Technique was already amazing, and the Church of the Divine Blood was also tyrannical, so the Great One Palace would definitely not be too bad. They must have some kind of mystical and antique study. Chu Li wanted to see it for himself, but unfortunately, he did not have the time. He did not have the leisure to do so. He had to rush to Peace Bridge as soon as possible.
"Young Master, there are Grandmasters fighting in Yi Yun Restaurant!" A servant hurried over and reported in a low voice to his Young Master, who was a plain-looking young man of Innate Mastery's Boundary.
"Let's go take a look!" The young man hurriedly got up.
For an Innate Master, watching a battle between Grandmasters was a risky and rewarding thing to do. It depended on how much they desired to learn martial arts and who the Grandmaster they were fighting against was.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw a fight in another restaurant a hundred meters away. Four Grandmasters were fighting in the restaurant, and the tables and chairs were flying.
Two young girls were fighting against two old men. Chu Li could tell at a glance that the two old men were masters of the Church of the Divine Blood. Although they were not as powerful as the one who was chasing him, they were still Grandmasters.
The two young girls, on the other hand, had a youthful aura. They were beautiful and charming, and their slender and graceful figures seemed like they could be blown away by a gust of wind.
They showed off their fists and legs and did not seem to be threatening, but the two old men were very cautious. Their faces were solemn, and they avoided their attacks as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Because the two young girls' fist force was as solid as the tip of a sword, the two old men from the Church of the Divine Blood did not dare to take it head-on.
Chu Li drank his wine and watched the fight with great interest through the Omniscient Mirror.
At this time, in the Heavenly Demonic Sect, the four elders had arrived in front of a stone wall. They stood still and looked solemn.
They knew that once the sect leader was summoned, Zhe Ying would most likely die.
After a while, Elder Bai sighed and placed his palm on the stone wall. The other three elders hesitated for a moment before placing their palms on the stone wall.
Four palms pressed on the stone wall, and suddenly, the melodious sound of a jade chime was heard from inside the cave.
"Boom!" A cave suddenly appeared in the stone wall, and a middle-aged man in a green robe slowly walked out of the cave and appeared in front of the four elders. He was thin and elegant, and he looked at the four of them with clear and gentle eyes.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!" The four of them gave a fist salute respectfully.
The middle-aged man in a green robe said calmly, "Why are you disturbing my meditation? Bai Ming, tell me! "
Elder Bai reported what happened in a low voice.
