Elder Du said, "We don't know where Zhe Ying has gone to. No one can find him, so don't waste your time."
"You're here for the reward from the Ji Dynasty's Emperor, right?" Elder Bai sneered. "You're not here to question Zhe Ying, but to kill him, am I right?"
Chu Li replied, "That's right. Not only do I want to kill Zhe Ying, but I also want to kill all those b * stards from Heavenly Demonic Sect!"
"Since you want to kill us, there's no need for us to hold back!" Elder Bai said. "Heavenly Demonic Sect never shows mercy to our enemies!"
Then, he pounced on Chu Li.
The other three Grand Elders pounced on him at the same time.
Chu Li's cultivation level was higher than theirs, so they were not confident in fighting him alone. It was safer for the four of them to work together. Besides, they did not need to care about their reputation in the basilica. All they needed to do was to capture him and kill him.
Although they disagreed with Fu Qingya's decision, they would not speak up. In any case, they did not care about the survival of the Ji Dynasty's sects, so destroying a sect was not a big deal.
Chu Li sneered as the obscure sword at his waist flashed.
"Uh …" Elder Du's eyes widened. The tip of the sword was already in front of him, and he could not avoid it.
"Ding …" A slender, white finger hit the tip of the sword and deflected it.
The tip of the sword slid across the side of Elder Du's neck, leaving a bloody wound. He quickly covered his wound and retreated. It felt like the cold air was still lingering around his neck and was about to pierce his throat at any time.
His throat tightened, and he dared not go any closer.
Fu Qingya charged at Chu Li like a ghost. Chu Li used a mysterious step technique to counter him, and the obscure sword flashed.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" The tip of the sword and Fu Qingya's fingers clashed as if they were playing a pipa. There was an endless, rhythmic sound.
Chu Li's body movement technique might not seem as fast as Fu Qingya's, but his sword technique made up for it. His sword technique was exquisite and mysterious, and he stabbed his sword at unexpected spots at the speed of light. If it were not for Fu Qingya's swift body movement technique, he would have been stabbed long ago.
The Four Grand Elders took a few steps back and looked at each other.
Even a genius like Zhe Ying was no match for the sect leader. However, Chu Li, who was about the same age as Zhe Ying, was on par with the sect leader and did not seem to be at a disadvantage.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" Chu Li said coldly, "I'm going to kill you today to avenge the disciples of Snow Lunar Pavilion!"
"How arrogant!" Fu Qingya sneered as he flicked the tip of his sword. "With your current abilities, you're no match for me!"
"Heh, let's see!" Suddenly, Chu Li's body expanded and his sword shone brightly. Then, his speed doubled and he easily pierced Fu Qingya's chest.
"Sovereign!" The four Grand Elders were startled.
The Dust Light Sword Qi exploded, and fragments flew everywhere.
Fu Qingya's body expanded as he activated his Heavenly Demon Body. He lowered his head to look at his wound and sneered. "Your sword can't hurt me!"
Chu Li's palm landed on his chest.
Fu Qingya did not mind it at all as he took the hit head-on. Most importantly, the Heavenly Demon Body had been activated all of a sudden, causing his body movement technique to become a little sluggish and not as agile as before. Furthermore, Chu Li's attack was sudden and swift.
"Bang!" Chu Li landed a solid hit on the right side of his chest.
Fu Qingya widened his eyes in disbelief and pointed at him. "Zhe … Ying …"
He fell to the ground unwillingly. He recognized that the attack just now was the Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique and the Enlightened Master's energy.
"Sovereign!" Elder Du and the other three Grand Elders ignored the danger and rushed forward.
Chu Li spat out a mouthful of blood. The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique had spat out a trace of the Enlightened Master's energy that it had devoured. Not only had it severely injured Fu Qingya, but Chu Li had also suffered a backlash.
He fully activated his Heavenly Demonic Power and ignored his injuries. He grabbed Fu Qingya and flashed away like a ghost to avoid the four Grand Elders' attacks. Then, he called out, "Honorable Masters!"
As he spoke, his appearance suddenly changed to Zhe Ying's appearance. Then, he slammed his palm on Fu Qingya's chest.
The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique activated again and continuously devoured the Heavenly Demonic Orb.
"You … You …" The four Grand Elders were dumbfounded.
Chu Li smiled as he devoured the Heavenly Demonic Orb. "Honorable Masters, you don't recognize me?"
"You … You're Zhe Ying?" Elder Du asked in disbelief.
Chu Li nodded. "That's me."
"You can't be Chu Li, right?" Elder Bai asked.
Chu Li replied, "I'm Chu Li!"
"You …" The four Grand Elders frowned as they were confused.
Chu Li continued to devour the Heavenly Demonic Orb. "Chu Li has always been me!"
"How …?" The four Grand Elders were in disbelief.
Chu Li said, "After I killed Du Feng, I disguised myself as Du Feng and went to Snow Lunar Pavilion. I fell in love with a lady, but the Sect Leader found out and sent someone to kill her. I must avenge this!"
"What's going on with Chu Li?" Elder Song asked.
Chu Li replied, "I was the one who disguised myself as Chu Li. I snuck into the Ji Dynasty's Yi Public House and killed the original Chu Li. He was a lowly servant, so no one paid attention to him. It was easy for me to disguise myself as him and unknowingly become the chief."
"Impossible!" The four Grand Elders shook their heads.
There might be a glimmer of hope elsewhere, but it was impossible in the Ji Dynasty. This was because the Buddhist Sect in the Ji Dynasty was flourishing, and the Buddhist Sect was very sensitive to Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples. Once they discovered them, they would not rest until they were dead. Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples could only sneak around in the Ji Dynasty and could not encounter any Buddhist Sect disciples.
Chu Li scoffed. "Why is it impossible! … I had a fortuitous encounter that allowed me to completely conceal the aura of the Heavenly Demonic Power. No matter how powerful a monk is, he won't be able to detect me. I even have a monk friend now! "
The four Grand Elders felt that Chu Li was spouting nonsense.
Chu Li pursed his lips and said, "You'll know whether I'm spouting nonsense or not if you check it out. I'll take my leave first!"
He turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, let go of the sect leader!" The four Grand Elders regained their senses and quickly surrounded him.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash like a ghost, not giving them any time to react.
The Four Grand Elders looked grim, but they believed Chu Li.
Chu Li had performed the Heavenly Demonic Power just now, which was exactly the same as the Heavenly Demonic Power that Fu Qingya had performed. The Heavenly Demonic Field would only appear when one had cultivated to the latter half of the ninth level.
"This is too …" They began to discuss among themselves in disbelief.
They already knew that the sect leader was dead or alive. Zhe Ying would not let the sect leader go if he had the chance.
Who would have thought that the sect leader would end up like this and be defeated by Zhe Ying?
However, the sect leader had gone too far by killing the woman that Zhe Ying liked so that his inner state would not be complete. It was obvious that the sect leader was afraid that Zhe Ying would surpass him, so he had resorted to such underhanded means. It was fine to destroy a small sect, but it was too much to kill the woman that Zhe Ying liked.
Compared to the sect leader, they were closer to Zhe Ying. After all, they had raised Zhe Ying since he was young, so no matter how cruel Zhe Ying was, he would not hurt them.

Chu Li disappeared with Fu Qingya and reappeared in a cave.
This was a cave halfway up a cliff. Howling winds could be heard from outside the cave as if countless people were crying.
The cave was clean and tidy, and there was a stone bed and a stone table. A white skeleton was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, but there were no martial arts secret manuals.
Chu Li placed Fu Qingya on the stone table and continued to devour the Heavenly Demonic Orb.
Once the Heavenly Demonic Orb was devoured, his Heavenly Demonic Field instantly expanded to a hundred meters wide.
A cold force was injected into Fu Qingya's forehead, and he slowly regained consciousness.
Chu Li looked at him coldly in Zhe Ying's appearance. "Sect Leader, how do you feel?"
Fu Qingya frowned at him.
Not only did the Enlightened Master's energy hurt his body, but it also hurt his mind. Fu Qingya was still dispirited and could not be as clear-headed and quick-witted as he usually was. He struggled to think for a while before he asked, "Are you colluding with Chu Li?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Sect Leader isn't smart enough!"
Fu Qingya frowned. "Could it be that Zhe Ying, you're Chu Li?"
